Santi plays extremely well. Very good spacing, use of grabs, empty hops, all around great play. I feel like his only downfall is on the ledge, where he typically resorts to double laser at ledge or side B on. Overall though he's so fun to watch, good stuff Santi.
But Armada was so good at getting the up and behind DI on his upthrow and Santi literally just gets 2% and stage positioning. Armada was fine with getting grabbed.
always knew he was a hidden boss, but didnt know he'd be this competitive against armada would like to see the return of a semi consistent grand finals falco
Since 2015, I always thought Santiago could easily be a top 20 player if he practiced or dedicated more time to Melee. He doesn't even wave land (as cleanly) or shorten. Both which could easily be fixed if he practiced more, yet he is still able to take sets off top players. His decision making and use of empty grab mix up this set was incredible. Too bad he has a shitty opinion of players who actually grind out the game and flaunts that he never practices the game outside of tournaments and friendlies.
not really old school. santi has been consistently active, albeit somewhat isolated, since 2013 and attends locals in San Diego pretty frequently. has winning records over lucky and westballz for 2017 iirc
Old School Yoshi player formerly known as Lil Fumi(a name taken as an homage to the Japanese Yoshi Legend Fumi, who is also revered by aMSa) who has now switched mains to Falco/Sheik. Extremely good player. He went from Yoshi-->Fox-->Sheik/Falco

Ethren - he reminds me of PP.
Scal McGuire yup, 100%. PP always talks about how under used Falco’s grab is and Santi is definitely proving how good it is here.
couldn't agree more. usage of side b was way too much. It's a good move but he's gotta diversify. everything else was pretty amazing.

Love to see the toad come in clutch
Yo this Falco is hella nice, where'd this guy come from...
8:57 The turnip phantoms, and Armada isn't too happy about it.
how is he not happy about it?? he cracked a huge smile?
^that HAS to be what he was thinking, his look was that of a parent who hears their child did something both hilarious and disappointing
Holy shit, Santi is awesome!

Looking back at this today it's aged a bit but his neutral game decisions are still so nasty
How can you play this Brave vs Armada of all people.
good job santi. that was really sweet to watch.
why do falcos think they can take peaches on the left of the fire stage tree??? it never works!
Dang who is this falco?
Fudge Fudge old school player coming back
