Ever since watching Hurt's Delta sets, he blew me away with his optimization of Snake and sheer adaptability. I always believed if he got the chance to fight Sparg0 or Sonix, he could def pull it off. So happy to be proven right, and to see such an inspiring player get his flowers.
@@janswhatsupdocbro sonix has destroyed both Spargo and Acola lol this is also a game of matchups and I’m willing to bet if they played the set wouldn’t go how you would assume.
@@Takorshidaily reminder that fighting games in general are known to be balanced. But yeah smash is balanced but I’d say there are many traditional fighting games that are more balanced than smash.
That C4 kill reminds of when you play against a bot and you're just looking for that one really specific kill, so you just camp until you get that one opening to do it. Probably not the case at all but it really looked like Hurt was playing with his food, he's insane
I didn’t think Sparg0 had exploitable patterns. If MKLeo couldn’t find them, I didn’t think anyone would. But Hurt consistently knew where Sparg0 was going to be.
Sparg0 often likes to roll behind his opponents to reclaim position on center stage - Hurt is incredibly good at scouting those options and covering them. Aside from that, Sparg0 likes to spend a lot of time in the air to bait options - it's part of Cloud's gameplan. Hurt caught on to the times when Sparg0 attempted to space away and chased him with Snake's aerials. It helps that Snake's aerials come out faster than most of Cloud's.
As a link main I feel Hurt wasn't reading where Spargo was going to be but was instead using what zoner characters like Snake have. It's a technique I like to call forcing / the Force. If you watch where Hurt placed his mines + grenades he was covering the areas Spargo wanted to go + by using his positioning with Snake he would consistently force Spargo into bad positioning. Mastering how to force an opponent into a situation is imo the true power of a zoner character. Not just spamming their zoning tools. Incredible incredible play by Hurt and seriously great effort from Spargo. Fantastic set

Hurt played so well. His positioning, pressure, and keen awareness of what Sparg0 wanted to do was insane. Haven’t seen someone shut down the FaZe Clan prodigy like that before. Congrats to Hurt for his dominant play! Can’t help but feel like this MU is a rough time for Cloud. Snake has insane defensive options, making it hard for Cloud’s telegraphed attacks to turn into any combo/advantage state. I think Sparg0 only hit 2-3 cross-slashes TOTAL between both their sets, because grenades kept breaking it up, which is wild because usually cross-slash is Sparg0’s moneymaker. Sparg0’s limit use was limited (pun intended) to recovery only, because Hurt would time it out and cover any limit blade bean attempts with grenade.

@@TreyMM-qz4wg That makes sense. Also, please reread the first half of my comment. I absolutely gave Hurt all the credit he deserves. He played amazingly. Thanks, have a great day!
@@dingo9696 Got it. Hurt definitely outplayed Sparg0 this time, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that he's "just better." I wouldn't be surprised if Hurt is a top 10 player, though. He certainly plays like one.
That is the first time in a long time I can think of where Spargo genuinely felt clueless about certain things in the matchup. Hurt could literally become #1 in the world. Incredible player
He definitely knows the matchup, just that he is used to playing alandiss and snake is a character that can be played in so many ways. Hurt is just a very particular player and has his own sauce when playing.
SNAKE? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAKE!? This Smash meta is crazy and fun. Hurt did a great job showing what a top Snake can accomplish. I'm excited to see how Spargo prepares for this bout next time.
13:01 “double dash attack no Mario kart” I swear commentators are under appreciated. Listening to these guys talk brings so much more to the game than just watching them play
@@Jas-ms4tr so just because he won before means he is better? Looks like he forgot this during the match lol this is not how it works, stop living in the past. Spargo had his merit at that time, now he has been displaced by hurt, and we all could see, he didn’t even have a chance against hurt.
Hurt is the first Snake since Ally that I have seen have this level of character knowledge mixed with this level of fundamentals and footsies. His use of every move is quite optimal, finding nairs consistently, using bair less than other snakes to keep it as a kill move, spacing on some things is insane. Theres a few instances where he knows to instantly go for ftilt after spargo avoids a bair, thats not a coincidence and he spaces it so well that he never whiffs an ftilt after bair. No disrespect to MVD, AK or Shogun but Hurt looks like the chose one to make Snake look top tier again.
What happens when you actually edgeguard cloud and dont let Sparg0 mash in disadvantage for free. Well done Hurt. Insanely well thought out counter play
@@LerkeroNone of that was spam. All cocked, precise and timed. Meanwhile there's zero accuracy required from clouds giant, lagless aerials. Zero. You can misplace Bair all you want it's STILL safe on shield. NONE of his aerials are exploitable besides MAYBE, fair. And hes one of the fastest characters in the game fuck the excuses. Hurt outplayered him and Spargo got served .
@TreyMM-qz4wg its okay to say that snakes optimal strategy is to spam grenade and clouds strategy is to spam aerials. Both players do it well, but its spam either way
@@TreyMM-qz4wgSpargo is way better than you. Get over it. Also you should remove the balls of Hurt from your mouth so that you don't accidentally choke.
Its been so long since ive seen sparg0 this clueless against a player. Last time it was skyjay but he turned him into mash in the next set. Sparg0 could not adapt, and Hurt just completely outplayed him. I cant wait to see where Hurt goes from here
Fun fact: Hurt has a winning record on both Acola and Miya (btw GNW is a -2 matchup for snake). And he also has win on Ken, Shuton, Yoshidora, Tea, pretty much everyone in top 20 that he came across. He is arguably the third best in Japan along with Yoshidora (hard to argue who is better since they are equally good in terms of skills). Yoshidora, Miya, Acola are the new big three in Japan (used to be Zackray, Tea, Shuton). I hope Hurt can get into top 10 this year, he really deserve it
@@dysr First of all, no. Asimo has too many bad matchups to overcome: GNW, Byleth, and Olimar. And he is not that consistent at beating Hurt, I believe he is slightly winning on the head-to-head encounters. But don't get me wrong, Asimo is absolutely top 20, without a doubt.

Here’s a better question: when was the last time he got double eliminated by a Japanese player? He’s notoriously dominant against them so for him to be wiped out twice by the same guy is insane. I wonder if Hurt will be a bracket demon or if Sparg0 will adapt and kick him around next time
I think this is one of Spargo's biggest problems in general, as a hater. If he's losing a set he feels he SHOULD be winning, he plays tilted, but if he actually sees it as a serious threat, he plays mad and goes in. This looked like playing on tilt to me, to a lesser degree than some other sets, but still such. If memory serves, Hurt has an Acola win, he just wasn't able to clutch out a double elim at that tournament. I feel like any top player should take someone capable of that seriously. He also lost to Hurt in crews in Snake/Cloud, it's not like it was Greninja/Plant or something, he should have already expected it to have been difficult. On the opposite side, I think Hurt reeled it in hard from winners' finals. He got really trigger happy that last stock; he thought he had already won and almost got punished for it, but barely squeaked out. He played games 2-4 of grands the same way he played up to his last stock in winners finals, rather than fishing really hard and potentially resulting in a snowball that could have eventually cost him the tournament. I'm glad he took the sets between to regain his composure and played slower in grands, this was a fun watch, and I hope he keeps popping off like this, Snake is fun to watch.
I love Sparg0 but it's funny to see what happens when he can't mash and spam back air like crazy. Even Tweek called him a masher. I hope he adapts and they play again at Kagaribi. Would be a fire set.
The amount of times he gets stocks from mashing in disadvantage is kind of crazy. Sparg0 finally ran into someone that isnt playing scared against him or holding forward constantly
Japanese players are built different. Game 1 of the 1st set, Hurt loses his stock to an sd holding a nade and he just laughs it off. No tilt, no rage. Respect.
I honestly feel that so fucking hard. Sometimes when i cant watch the tournament live i wanna be able to just start the playlist and just watch it unfold but no. Sometimes when im scrolling through playlist i see grand finals like 6 videos from the bottom im just like wtf
Actually hurts improving speed is insane. No wonder he become top5 this year. He beat almost all Japanese top players and looks like he can beat all players！

Nope. That was all skill. Snake is not top 5 let alone top 10. He played that to a T has nothing to do with character strength alone. Stop that nonsense right there.
@@TreyMM-qz4wg how could it be nonsense when the official tier list has him at number 4, at the same time is the character with most top reps in the top 100 players, he is broken bruv.
@@TreyMM-qz4wgnah even apollokage thinks snake is a top 5 character. That doesn’t mean that hurt is carried. Being a top tier character means that they’re overwhelmingly powerful if a player has the skill to utilize the character to their fullest potential. Hurt proves that he has that skill, and he’s the best snake player by far.
Hurt uses his movement to back up his bomb interruptions, every time Sparg0 starts to go insane, one bomb from no where stops his game plan and messes up his position
@@user-lq4ct6dr5m yes he’s an incredible player!!! Super fascinating and greatly developed snake. The character just does not suite my style nor is fun for me to watch personally:)
@@jacobritz4054 Hurt is playing Snake to its full strength here, playing 4D chess and laying in the backseat when Sparg0 struggles. Though if Sparg0 didn't go aggro during that last stock, one more game and Sparg0 will take it
Wrong he was intiating pressure and taking up stage control. NOT A SINGLE SPAMMY MOMENT in neutral. Go ahead and find it. Cloud is the campy, non committal one. Nothing fun about watching a dude spam the safest, largest in the aerials in the game. ZERO risk playstyle get your facts straight.

"Stop ! You're at death's door !"
"I am, so that I can open the door for you"
Ggs Hurt. It's sparg0ver
the 5th horseman
Wow, after seeing Spargo get 3-0'd, he must've be ButtHURT!
3試合目からの怒涛の切り崩し方がいい
ゲコ使ってた時ここまで強くなるとは思わなかった
最強
肌に合わんかっただけかもしれんけど、ゲコやっぱ1歩パワーがないよな
This is the type of players Miya and Acola play regularly btw
Yeah cause they're all from Japan?
I mean not really, Miya and Acola have only played Hurt at one tournament for now.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 read what i said.
I mean if you include wifi, yes. Not only Acola Miya but a lot of others who are on Smashmate
19:04 I knew he was gonna lose and choke when he started doing 100 full hops in a row 😐😭😭😭
Hurtスネークは日本の宝
Does anyone know the name of the song in the credits? 28:15
All-Star Rest Area from Smash 4
@@Anthon1996 Thanks
14:53 Sparg0 had it, just back air into going off the stage + forward air should've taken Hurts sypher armor and spiked him to death
At this point if my friend told me a lil Mac from Japan won a major I’d believe him. They do not believe in tier list lmao.
Spargo debe jugar mas con Alandiss
I'm glad Snake proved to be a strong character.
Who eliminated Mkleo?
Toriguri and Ron
Japan
この大会に関してはHurtが圧倒的だった、それこそ最近のSparg0が１通す側になるのはマジでほぼ見たことなかったし、Sparg0はスネークがもしかして苦手なのか？それとも相性？ここまでSparg0が 圧倒されるのわりと衝撃
ハート最強‼️
This playlist is unwatchable. Is it seriously so hard to put the videos in order?
I honestly feel that so fucking hard. Sometimes when i cant watch the tournament live i wanna be able to just start the playlist and just watch it unfold but no. Sometimes when im scrolling through playlist i see grand finals like 6 videos from the bottom im just like wtf
Hurt the best snake?
lets go hurt
13:03 best commentary ever
ハートさんって太った春日に見えるんだよな
いい意味でも悪い意味でもなく春日的な意味で
Hurt convincingly took this whole tournament as expected. NA wast ready for this level of snake. Only TG posed a challenge in this entire tournie
Honestly if I’m sparg0 after that winners finals I’m calling Marss to ask for advice if possible, no one is better at snake matchup than Marss
zackray as well
Actually hurts improving speed is insane. No wonder he become top5 this year. He beat almost all Japanese top players and looks like he can beat all players！
19:29 bro charge limit and up b out of there WTF??
Cloud is way to immobile when charging limit that’s a free side b anyway
He gave up
@@patricknguyen4045nah, he was a few frames of limit away and out of hitstun when he has over the stage, he could've charged limit
if nikita didn't hit and spargo didn't charge, he wouldn't have reached anyways
@@luisnevarezctrs4694 nah it wouldn’t work he literally is so immobile when charging limit he just goes in one direction free Nikita and also even if he somehow managed to do it you do know how snakes Nikita works right? If you hit it with clouds up b hit box it trades and he dies anyway at best
As a cloud player that amount of limit takes longer to charge than you think. It was checkmate already
spargo needs a better secondary!!! But he almost had that 😮
BEEP BEEP
It says something about how free NA is when a guy who cant win majors in japan comes over and easily gets his first win against the best guy in NA 😅
You're discrediting these players skills man when you can't even stand in the shadow of these guys
Not even some of the best players in the world have won shit in Japan. What’s your excuse then?
Bairg0
no cap, i play young link and usually its 50/50 for me when playing against. Sometimes i destroy snake but damn after watching hurt, this a whole another level ! Congrats to both
That is why Snake is Top 4, broken character
Nope. That was all skill. Snake is not top 5 let alone top 10. He played that to a T has nothing to do with character strength alone. Stop that nonsense right there.
@@TreyMM-qz4wg how could it be nonsense when the official tier list has him at number 4, at the same time is the character with most top reps in the top 100 players, he is broken bruv.
@@patopaez2763even appollokage thinks snake is broken
@@TreyMM-qz4wgnah even apollokage thinks snake is a top 5 character. That doesn’t mean that hurt is carried. Being a top tier character means that they’re overwhelmingly powerful if a player has the skill to utilize the character to their fullest potential. Hurt proves that he has that skill, and he’s the best snake player by far.
@@TreyMM-qz4wgThe only nonsense is thinking that Snake is hype. Grenades go vrooooom! C4 go booooooom!
Snake is so unbelievably lame and campy, doesn’t take away from the raw talent hurt has. Ggs to him but this was painful to watch.
Hurt uses his movement to back up his bomb interruptions, every time Sparg0 starts to go insane, one bomb from no where stops his game plan and messes up his position
@@user-lq4ct6dr5m yes he’s an incredible player!!! Super fascinating and greatly developed snake. The character just does not suite my style nor is fun for me to watch personally:)
@@jacobritz4054 Hurt is playing Snake to its full strength here, playing 4D chess and laying in the backseat when Sparg0 struggles. Though if Sparg0 didn't go aggro during that last stock, one more game and Sparg0 will take it
Wrong he was intiating pressure and taking up stage control. NOT A SINGLE SPAMMY MOMENT in neutral. Go ahead and find it. Cloud is the campy, non committal one. Nothing fun about watching a dude spam the safest, largest in the aerials in the game. ZERO risk playstyle get your facts straight.
You prefer cloud the back air spammer?
i hate what competitive smash is becomming... Sonix camping for 7 minutes per games dabuz never engaging a fight and now a grenade show ... I get why ppl say smash isn't a real fighting game now.. Nobody is fighting...
Stop your bitching lol. That’s only a few players and Hurt is the only snake worth a shit since none of the other ones have done anything since ally
Hurt is just so amazing ✨🥹
Hell yeah brother.
guarantee spargo aint letting hurt win against him ever again lol
hurt about to get zacharyied lmfao
