I'll never forget Kola's sets vs Elegant. I've never seen Kola more angry than when he's fighting Luigi And no man exploits anger better than Elegant And no character is better suited to punishing aggressive close combat characters than Luigi And Elegant *still lost.* Kola, *too angry to give a fuck*
@@RED_XLR I bet we could even see something crazy like a Spargo win! With big level ups from players like Mr. E in that regard Kola could probably show similar if not better results!
@ShintaSmash you did a good job, but like, random people from CFL region started making-out with in the bleachers section just because their boy won. The furries in the room were so flabbergasted that all the headpieces came off. The group of tekken bros watching in the corner started hoisting their fight sticks above their head and made gorilla noises. It was a magical moment.
@ShintaSmash yeah bro. It surprised me just as much. I only play melee. I had no clue who this guy was until my friends explained to me the history of each player before the match.
Kola was absolutely fire 🔥🔥 In this tournament, Well deserved that first place. Specially that last stock over Riddles in the last game at grand finals reset. That was insane man!! On the other hand, it's a shame Dabuz didn't win once again this tourney. Good Video as always!!
I knew something was familiar as I was watching this! Really amazing video and clips, Kolas oppressively aggressive playstyle with non-stop heart attacks is really stressful, even to watch lol
@@ShintaSmash I watch more smash than play the damn game lol I play it maybe like 4 times a year and muscle memory play like normally. Keep up the content!
First video I’ve seen of yours, and only 3 mins in but can already tell this is very well done! This is quality. I’m subbing and looking forward to seeing more 😊
While I think Terry's explosive options can help hit his roy more, I think Kola can work around that and use his aggressiveness and disjoints to snuff out Terry but I'd like to see the mu happen
Kola is insanely fun to watch and if we as a community start slowly drifting back into aggressive fun playstyles instead of lame camping for ridiculous free 80% punishes I'd be so happy. I hope this is the start of something big. make Lucina a top tier again. awesome video btw, love it when we talk about individual players
@@aann thanks bud! I agree but I feel that by the games design it makes sense that the aggro play has been disappearing. Why risk everything when ya can play safe and net 80% ya know
Yes, I Always play this way with Ganon especially when I’m mad af from toxic people, playing aggressive and smart brings out the best in me and Kola is a living example of that with Roy🔥
This video is really good, i think the only thing is the video should match what ur talking about (EX: Talking about steve/mthyra/other character show footage of those characters, or if your talking about the past show clips from the past)
You're totally right. I was trying to keep it to the CEO major so in those sections I didnt go to other characters clips I mentioned but that woulda made it better. 📝📝
I always thought that Roy is mid, for the exact reasons that you clarified in this video. You just have to be really consistent with constant pressure, and I think that one of the reasons its harder with Roy is cause he is also part sword-fighter. Think about it, how many other sword-fighters are there that are also rushdown counterpart? Zero. Meanwhile, Fox for example, brawler archetype, has an easier time with pressure you could say, cause he has dash attack, which is way faster, easier to hit, and leads to almost everything in his kit.
For sure agree with this and it just makes Kola's performance all the more impressive imo. Circumventing the weak parts of his character to top players is godlike
@@ShintaSmash Yeah fr. Yeah also like what I was trying to say, is that there are definitely other characters who have better tools than Roy that allow for an easier time and more consistent way to pressure opponents.
I like this video a lot, but I feel like instead of showing footage of Kola when describing fighter pass 2, you should have showed clips displaying their egregious strengths
@@melleen629 for sure. At the time I was just thinking of sticking w the CEO footage but definitely shoulda showed the other characters. Will keep in mind next time
@@trustme3321 Im a bit simplifying it seeing how I didnt find much footage of Kola facing projectile characters at the CEO tournament. But yes you are correct overall
Hyping him up for a video when this was mickey mouse ass tourney. (Okay on the real though, its a good win, but I wish we had bigger names or more DLC Pass 2 in Top 8 to judge him for his supposed meta changing aggressiveness)
A B+ Major is mickey mouse imo but in all fairness i get whatcha saying. Gotta put Kola up against the best of the best to see how he'll do and to get an even better pop off 👀
He will never be in the top 10 unless he fixes his mentality and stops holding forward both on and off the sticks. His antics around his opponents is just lol
Did you really say "the emotionally weak" lmaooo i cant wit yall This a children party game ok lets relax on the big words x)) it really aint that deep
I tried to watch this video for 2 tries, but I just can't, I am sorry... I am a huge Kola fan, but this whole narrative thing is badly set up, the intro is too long for no real reason imo, while staying pretty uninformative and you are just saying words when talking about Kola's gameplay like "unrelenting focus, applied consistent pressure"...
Ya'll have shown SO MUCH LOVE. Thank you
keep making bangers please🔥🔥
@@aann Will do my best :D
One thing about kola is he actually plays with Emotion. And that emotion is definitely Anger. I feel like that’s what keeps him motivated
Definitely. It's hard to quantify how that affects gameplay beyond just Focus I suppose lol
I'll never forget Kola's sets vs Elegant.
I've never seen Kola more angry than when he's fighting Luigi
And no man exploits anger better than Elegant
And no character is better suited to punishing aggressive close combat characters than Luigi
And Elegant *still lost.*
Kola, *too angry to give a fuck*
Anger got him to win CEO. But anger only goes so far
@@Aflay1"This just in, local man turns national because he is too angry to die"
I'm actually suprised how great kola played here, he's been very inconsistent recently, happy tho
Same and here’s hoping he can keep it going
I always thought Kola was getting better this year
Top 3 here we come, if he's not already there! I'm rooting for him!! He needs to beat Light and Leo in Grand Finals. I need to see it!
@@RED_XLR I bet we could even see something crazy like a Spargo win! With big level ups from players like Mr. E in that regard Kola could probably show similar if not better results!
I like kola but he's definitely not top 3 yet. He’s got to be a bit more consistent which is hard with Roy
Mad respect to Kola. Privilege to watch this dudes Roy.

🤓
This title but it's just him slowly laying down the chair at the end of the set
0:50 felt that *“RAW”* in my soul.
Saw this live. The hype in the room was one of those "you had to be there" moments.
@@alstoyle I bet. Hopefully I captured the hype lol

The editing was incredible, nice job

Awesome stuff Shinta, top-notch writing on the voiceover fr
I REALLY appreciate this. I spent so much time writing and trying to voice act / not be too cheesy and whatnot. Thanks bud 🙏
Thank god for Kola's comeback to the scene dude is so entertaining to watch
One of my favorite players :D
I love how you didn’t just give Kola his flowers but even gassed everyone Kola beat as legends and you right
A skilled Roy can beat any Kazuya
Lmao 😂 true
nice mfkz pfp
A skilled Kola*

Good video. Wish this moment at 3:00 had footage of the characters you were talking about. Cant wait to see future vids

From 3:20 to 5:54 what was that epic music used to build up this story? I legit had goosebumps listening. EXCELLENT video
That score is Epic lol thanks bud. Heres the track
Karolina Gabel, Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen - Alteration
@ShintaSmash Your a Legend. THANK YOU 🙏
Then got forced to play passively by the god of smash, OUR SAVIOR, ZOMBA
Spargo just showed Roy is full of life
@@Gabykk the Roy Renaissance is here
this video is amazizng, you deserve more recogniziton! keep up the amazzing work
Appreciate it! Onward to the next one
8:50 music???
3:47 What even happened to ApolloKage? (Generally speaking, not this tournament in particular)
Ya know I meant to say MVD was “one of the best snakes” lol
But as far as Apollokage I think his results been dropping a bit as of late.
riddles shoulda pulled out the terry
Terry does worse against roy than kazuya
While I think Terry's explosive options can help hit his roy more, I think Kola can work around that and use his aggressiveness and disjoints to snuff out Terry but I'd like to see the mu happen
He did
@@epistarter1136naw riddles needs the i frames for kazuya to box kola. otherwise he just losses tbh
Kola is insanely fun to watch and if we as a community start slowly drifting back into aggressive fun playstyles instead of lame camping for ridiculous free 80% punishes I'd be so happy.

Roy Goes Crazy 🗣
3:50 Isn’t apollokage from the states ? That’s who I have as best snake US
There should be more smash RUclipsrs like this
Smash’s own Kendrick Lamar
@@vvgoon He’ll win that one P Tier Pop Out tournament
Yes, I Always play this way with Ganon especially when I’m mad af from toxic people, playing aggressive and smart brings out the best in me and Kola is a living example of that with Roy🔥
@@SSGHAKAI it’s my go to way to play as well. Uh I get hit a lot that’s for sure lmao
We need Kola to train Zain.

1:30 that doesn't kill. There was even a video of someone testing it out that that fsmash wouldn't have killed
Watching riddles lose is so exciting
What? He's always been aggressive. One of my favorite players.
Black Warrior playstyle
3:48 so apollokage doesnt exist anymore?
I mean honestly as of recently no, he might as well not even exist rn lol he's been very inconsistent, not that mvd is any better. They both lacking.
Roy is my favorite sword fighter power speed very mobile solid frame data great for aggressive play
And you'll never really kno because the very best players don't go to tournaments
This video is incredibly well made. Great story telling too. What do you use for music?
I've been using Epidemic Sound, their library is massive and I'm happy with it.
@@ShintaSmash you’re a G for replying to me thanks brotha
The edit on this video + music! wow...
ayyyyy appreciate it
Banger as always
Thanks bud 🙏
I dunno, that aggression looks normal to me. I guess I need to be more familiar with the game to see what every else seems to be seeing.

Riddles 4 straight 2nds at CEO 😢

GA is stacked low key, I only complain about the hit and hurt boxes matching the animations!!
My biggest gripe w Smash Ultimate
5:58 ayo?
Especially aegis fr 😍
what is music name for grands clips ?
Speed Devil - Under Earth
I feel like you are lumping zoning and spacing into the same thing. Zoning is specifically projectile based keep away.
@@trustme3321 Im a bit simplifying it seeing how I didnt find much footage of Kola facing projectile characters at the CEO tournament. But yes you are correct overall
So glad my fav player won

@@ShintaSmash goatla
Roy’s our boy❤️
Redefined aggression? I wouldnt say so. More so being more patient and knowing when not to press button I would say.
“Save Smash society, Kola-saki Ichigo!”
This type of playing style is needed more often waaaaaaay too much pussyfooting around in Smash.
D1 glazing
te quiero mucho Kola

did you use chatgpt to make the script? lmfao
What was that pop off? 🤣
Camping. Not zoning. (I know it’s not but it is)
Glad to see a real character beat Kazuya
Tall order for sure lol
Kola is simply better.
KOLA GOAT
Good ass video
🙏
mvd not the best snake in america no?
He will never be in the top 10 unless he fixes his mentality and stops holding forward both on and off the sticks.
His antics around his opponents is just lol
Lol.

Small correction riddles is not top 10 but he is probably top 15
He was #9 in the last LumaRank but you're probably right and he may be top 15 as of now.
