Okay gonna be real I popped off with ESAM. This must mean so much to him after all the times Mario player's have sent him home and to beat the best Mario who didnt want him on his team. ESAM showing why he's a top player you can't sleep on.
Did he use Samus because Pikchu struggles with Mario? Also, Ally still coulda used cape more vs. Samus. If anyone can tell me why ESAM didn't use the ESAMUS tag, too, that'd be great.
He tried the M2, but barely lost, so he tried Samus, If he lost with Samus I wouldnt be surprised if we saw his old Corrin or try his luck with Pikachu, he's taken a set off Ally with Pika b4, and has took off games here and there
Sm4sh is developing a formidable intercontinental tournament base, which is a good thing. New blood and new winners keeps things fresh. Esam played a scary-efficient Samus and refused to let Ally pop off with combos.
Superpokemaster or is it that other played particularly well to beat them? Samus went 3-0, you don't win that many in a row with a low teir by accident
8:54 describes the set perfect. Esam did the community so proud with this. Right at the end you see the falcon who placed 2nd....it's like when mango went to Evo with puff all over again....I think civil war is that same kind of defining moment for the community where you see nobodies popping off on 'gods' - years of these guys fighting sheik, fox, rosalina etc. left them unprepared for the crazy counter pick
Both ZeRo and Ally lost to Samus, just want to point that out. How interesting of a movie do you think Captain America: Civil War would've been if it was all hyped up to be Captain America vs. Iron Man like it was, but then when you finally watch it, turns out both get betrayed by their friends?
My favorite part was 16:55 "Man! What is this movie about now!? This must be the Director's Cut, because right now a lot of people are definitely getting cut out!"
Anyone else think Esam won because playing as Samus forced him to be defensive in the neutral? Feel like if he translated this neutral game to his Pikachu it would do wonders for his consistency.
I thought having Zero and Ally knocked out of bracket would really piss me off, but it actually had the opposite effect . I'm actually super hyped to see grand finals for this one!
These are the best thumbnails I've ever seen for a tournament. Stop putting the players and who they played and just use a random shot of the commentators lmao.
In my opinion, this was the best set of the tournament. As ZeRo said, neither him nor Ally wanted ESAM on their team. Ally is ESAM's bracket demon as well. Yet ESAM comes in with Samus after M2 and 3-1s him super convincingly. GJ ESAM.
its not as apparent since the crowd wasnt mic'd but this was one of the loudest pops from the crowd in that day, maybe second to fatality beating nairo
Nope, Captain Falcon's utilt spikes when opponent is in the air, not when on the ground. Samus's utilt spikes when on the ground and not in the air. Look at 12:54 for an example.
So there were three Top 10 Anime Betrayals from the same event!? (Luhtie being TeamZeRo and beating him, ESAM being TeamAlly and beating him and ESAM throwing away his Pikachu?) smh there's zero loyalty these days :(
That dramatic pose and camera work at the end
Shaggy Jon gouki pose 天
That angle legit reminded me of Batman's pose in the Arkham games
Shaggy Jon it looked like the Zelda Breath of the wild box art lol
he went super saiyan bruh
Balthuzar super saiyan? that's cheesy as fuck! get that ass banned
ESAM outplaced both of the team leaders that said he wasn't good enough for their crews :P
Not to mention eliminating one of them
Zainré Fang Ikr, Esam is underrated.
Zainré Fang yeah too bad he still didn't make top 16 Lol
David Rojas The problem is that he's not consistent enough. When he's on, he's fucking *on* but a lot of the time, unfortunately, he's not.
psychomaniac26 like fatality
Okay gonna be real I popped off with ESAM. This must mean so much to him after all the times Mario player's have sent him home and to beat the best Mario who didnt want him on his team. ESAM showing why he's a top player you can't sleep on.
Patrick Quinn *players
Patrick Quinn Ikr I couldnt agree anymore with you. And that camera shot was sick as well
Did he use Samus because Pikchu struggles with Mario?
Also, Ally still coulda used cape more vs. Samus.
If anyone can tell me why ESAM didn't use the ESAMUS tag, too, that'd be great.
Mario counters Pikachu really hard, so since Samus can space Mario properly, I think that is the reason ESAM went with Samus
He tried the M2, but barely lost, so he tried Samus, If he lost with Samus I wouldnt be surprised if we saw his old Corrin or try his luck with Pikachu, he's taken a set off Ally with Pika b4, and has took off games here and there
Samus just upset ZeRo and Ally both with and without her suit
hah
How could she upset ANYONE while having her suit off?
erigor11 When the Zssamus is another one other than Nairo...lol
erigor11
zss such a shit choice for smash bros
Buu Fuu Shrek should replace her
The true hypest set of the tournament thus far.
I will never doubt ESAM again. Honestly, this was amazing.
Dreadfury but then he lost to that random dk
HIKARU isn't a random. He's the best DK in the world.
TheDiamondScyther that "random" dk beat void
Too bad nobody picked Esam for their teams
Hypest set of the tournament yet: T VS Abadango
He threw pikachu like FUK dat rat I'm a samus main now
jose xiloj well he was originally a Samus main lol esam = Erik Samus
LOL
I know ... I said now ........
Pikachu does horribly against Mario, it's the logical decision
Oh he a fan!
Top 10 anime underdogs getting revenge
I love how nobody wanted esam, and he came right back, first with a roast, then an asswhipping
16:52 R.I.P Pikachu Plushy
Cause of Death: An Overhappy ESAM
The hero the war needed but did not want
xD
Shockwave3456 dude this was friking savage! Lol 😂
whatchyou mean!? esam coming back again and beatin top players is what a lot of pp;l want to see
No one picked him for the crew batter meaning they didn't whant him
JustArcher it was a joke on Twitter. Zero said him and Ally don't agree on a lot but they agree on neither of them wanting Esam.
This set wouldn't mean as much without the godlike camera work and pop off at the end
The 2GGTs sagas dedicated to a single player are gone, but the curse is not
2GGCurse
Carlos Muñoz Bastias 2GGC Nairo confirmed
2GGaming why is it switched from 2GGT to 2GGC?
2GG Championship. 2GG is holding a championship series and all of these tournaments are qualifiers.
2GG Tournament series transformed into 2GG Championship series.
Fatality at the end was like, "thanks for securing me a spot in grands man"
And it was on this day, that Esam brought the Civil War to an end.
Batsam is the hero we need, but not the hero we deserve
This was revenge for nobody picking him.
Honestly, his play was so patient and meticulous. Great job to ESAM!
Both ZeRo and Ally were taken out by Samus
stunning
nintendo plaza actually zero was taken out by Luhtie a ZSS player in losers bracket, he got 49th.
Alex Garcia zss and samus are the same person, therefore zero and ally both lost to samus
Alex Garcia are you serious?
gizmobirdman No this is real
16:52
Epic shot
dan altamirano scripted. kappa
Top 10 anime betrayals
THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE ESAM IS A BEAST
I still remember I woke up and this was the first set of the day I watched
About every three months, I come back just to rewatch this set... it is currently mid-October 2018.
Esam is getting thicc haha
Jesus TheOmniscientKidd that's cause he's inside practicing so much
Nicholas Davis An because he's a RUclipsr, it happens lel
And a Twitch streamer
tbh it looks good on him
Jesus TheOmniscientKidd I feel like if he loses weight he would look really ugly
Ally and zero both didn't want esam for the crew battle.. Esam beats ally and places higher than both of them..
ESAM doesn't power up to win, he wins to power up.
dat popoff
DAMNNNNN And after all that shit talking Ally did too Esam. Esam sure showed him.
chaosmark101 what did he say to him?
It was alot of smack last year on Twitter. IDK if they still really have beef.
chaosmark101 they don't
Esam vs Luhtie Civil War when?
hahahahaha
As a Samus main... FUUUCCCCCCCCK YEEEEAAAAAHHHH! I love you, ESAM!!!
I just came to watch that pop off on loop, its very satisfying. You could just make it a meme for whenever your best a tough opponent really...
#TEAMESAM
TESAM
_BATSAM_
That pose that Esam made while facing the crowd is now probably be one of the most memorable images like ANTi standing up on the ring when he won CEO
Can't believe how hype this tournament was. Probably more hype than any melee tournament I've seen other than Genesis 3.
#TeamLuhtie vs #TeamEsam
What team you're on?
Whatever team that has a leader who is willing to say "boi's our roi" on video.
(edit: fixed grammar derp)
#teamdabuz
Fantom Rockman #TeamEsam
Can we talk about how zero lost to 2 team zero players and ally lost to 2 team ally players
The top 3 players in the world (Zero, Mkleo, and Ally) all played like garbage this tournament. None of them even made top 16. lmao
Um, Nairo?
Sm4sh is developing a formidable intercontinental tournament base, which is a good thing. New blood and new winners keeps things fresh.
Esam played a scary-efficient Samus and refused to let Ally pop off with combos.
Superpokemaster yeah dude i don't know why
Superpokemaster look who it is lol
Superpokemaster or is it that other played particularly well to beat them? Samus went 3-0, you don't win that many in a row with a low teir by accident
CONGRATS TO ESAM FOR BEATING HIS DEMON
Also that camera angle at the end with the words "AND ENDED THE CIVIL WAR" will never not get me pumped
I rewatched this just for the pop off.
same here lmao
I knew esam could do it so proud of him always my favorite player
8:54 describes the set perfect. Esam did the community so proud with this. Right at the end you see the falcon who placed 2nd....it's like when mango went to Evo with puff all over again....I think civil war is that same kind of defining moment for the community where you see nobodies popping off on 'gods' - years of these guys fighting sheik, fox, rosalina etc. left them unprepared for the crazy counter pick
One of the few Smash 4 pop offs that was Decent and not that cringe.
That was about the most powerful pop-off I've ever seen.
My boy.
This was the best popoff, no doubt. You can't deny it.
Unless a roy main beats ZeRo and then chants "BOI'S OUR ROI". kek
this is the quietest TK/Coney comm I've ever heard.
Both ZeRo and Ally lost to Samus, just want to point that out. How interesting of a movie do you think Captain America: Civil War would've been if it was all hyped up to be Captain America vs. Iron Man like it was, but then when you finally watch it, turns out both get betrayed by their friends?
"So, me and Ally may disagree on a lot of things.
But we both agreed on one thing:
Neither of us wanted Esam on our crew"
- ZeRo
That pop-off at the end was legendary
Good lord. ESAM. That. Was. BEAUTIFUL!!! As a Samus main since N64, I was at the edge of my seat, THIS is how you play Samus!
Ally has said Mario Samus is an even matchup, but in the end, good to Esam beating his bracket demon finally.
Didn't Esam take sets off of Ally before?
Jeeses99 it's Samus Zair, Samus can keep out Mario extremely well
Dabuz/Kirihara are more his demon but yeah
Samus also has ftilt to keep Mario out
Lmfao people johning for ally
My favorite part was 16:55
"Man! What is this movie about now!?
This must be the Director's Cut, because right now a lot of people are definitely getting cut out!"
ESAM with that Triple H popoff lmaaooo
This is one of my favorite sets of all time still hypes me to this day
Who’s watching this in ultimate cuz this a hype set
Me
Anyone else think Esam won because playing as Samus forced him to be defensive in the neutral? Feel like if he translated this neutral game to his Pikachu it would do wonders for his consistency.
Man I love how Esam plays so safe with Samus, instead of those mid levels who just push as many buttons as they can with her normals
I thought having Zero and Ally knocked out of bracket would really piss me off, but it actually had the opposite effect . I'm actually super hyped to see grand finals for this one!
17:25 "What is this tournament?" I had the same response throughout much of the tournament. XD
samus beat ally
zss beat zero
the script is real
1:38 could loop for the whole set and I would totally think the commentators are just naturally describing the pace of this game.
ROFLOLGAMER nice b8
wait so whos the winner? TeamAlly or TeamZero? or is there no winner?
this was the revenge for roasting Esam!
These are the best thumbnails I've ever seen for a tournament. Stop putting the players and who they played and just use a random shot of the commentators lmao.
Somebody give that cameraman a raise!
does anyone have the link to when Esam lost after this match?
Nice Shot Hugo
16:53 - 17:03... 10 seconds of pure epicness!
can we talk about how well esam adapted to allys handshake to avoid an awkward handshake?
In my opinion, this was the best set of the tournament. As ZeRo said, neither him nor Ally wanted ESAM on their team. Ally is ESAM's bracket demon as well. Yet ESAM comes in with Samus after M2 and 3-1s him super convincingly. GJ ESAM.
Aw man I got there a little bit after this I wish I saw that moment live
Wow this game looks like ass
Let's note that ESAM stood above the crowd like he was ready to start singing...
ESAM's brain:
"WEEEEEEEEE ARE THE CHAMPOINS, MY FRIEERND~
its not as apparent since the crowd wasnt mic'd but this was one of the loudest pops from the crowd in that day, maybe second to fatality beating nairo
ESAM screamed so loudly I could hear him through the commentator's microphones.
Ally looking like Leffen with that allergy to Samus
16:44 ESam's pop-off was SO REAL.
You can tell Ally is nervous because he isn't nodding his head.
When does Lylat's ban go into place? I thought it was already gone.
The Lemony Bard Lylat was unbanned.
Fuck yes!
Was Duck Hunt unbanned too?
There's no spike on Samus up tilt unless they're grounded, TK
Nope, Captain Falcon's utilt spikes when opponent is in the air, not when on the ground. Samus's utilt spikes when on the ground and not in the air. Look at 12:54 for an example.
Tarro57 I just said that.
Henry Nguyen not possible
its like peach's down tilt, or mr saturn, it cant spike unless theyre grounded :/
Came for the pop off. Was well worth.
ESAM DID THE GOOD xd. but srsly, the camerawork at civil war was fucking amazing, huge shoutouts to the camerapeople behind the scenes
As a Samus main, this was very exciting to watch!
E.Lopez same
E.Lopez same here
I think Esam was the Thor of this tourney. Plus, his main is electric.
Great Games, though I have to correct the commentators. That's not the Varia suit, it's the Fusion Suit (or it's supposed to be) lol
16:59 that scene looks so epic
somone needs to make a montage of all the times that Coney's voice cracked lol
One of the best pop off's i have ever seen
Who knew #TeamESAM had so much merit? Who knew that we just brought 2015 to the present day? Who knew that history would be made in such a way?
that percent on the win (insert lenny)
Damn poor pika
Where's esams next match?
16:53 - 16:56 is such a good shot
This was crazy dude
Imagine if Hawkeye ended the Civil War.
Because that's what happened.
He's an independent black Samus who don't need no Pikachu.
Yes! What a day to be a Samus main :))
Ally was def texting Captain Zach lol
Esam the peace maker? o.O
15:27
ESAM: Oh lawd Jeezus!
The camera men are the real winners of this tournament xD That looked like a fucking movie, BUT THE SCRIPT WAS FUCKING RIPPED ^_^
I'm inspired to try picking up Samus again.
After this civil war.
Why the hell isn't my main samosa a Top 15 in the tier list!!?
So there were three Top 10 Anime Betrayals from the same event!? (Luhtie being TeamZeRo and beating him, ESAM being TeamAlly and beating him and ESAM throwing away his Pikachu?) smh there's zero loyalty these days :(
that sentence at the end: nobody wanted him... feelsbadman
omg.. esam samus up 2-1 on ally. this is the best tournament ever!!! now ill watch the rest. .
"that was close, that would have been a spike"
no, samus' up-tilt can't spike an airborn opponent, she isn't falcon
