Wow I've heard about Acola but now actually seeing his Steve, it's a lot faster than the other Steve mains' out there. Mans got into Ashimo's head and started playing Minecraft 😭
You're selling Japanese players short if you think 2 tournament wins overturns every top player there. That being said Acola is an amazing prodigy and it wouldnt be surprising if he did take that top spot one day
@@alenshirvanyan473 who knows, zackray and proto who are consider top 1-2 in japan have 2 major wins this year too, and i don't think acola has losing records vs any japanese top player as well
@@Kapito22 true but Zackray and proto have far more credibility built from years of high tournament placings, and while its impressive that acola can keep such a good record this early, its not enough data to know for sure Plus people will learn how to play the matchup and his specific style and adapt to it Again that said, I don't want to downplay acola's ungodly skill, im just saying this is only the start of his legendary journey
@@ああ-j3p2x Yeah insane results, Tea is wildly considered a top 10 player and Shuton isn't far either, but since he's yet to battle top international players it's hard to say exactly. Rooting for him!
@@neeeooorrmm3781 still hard to say. Matchup and counterplay is being learned against Steve . Acola is amazing but Steve helps him a lot in terms of success rate
Sprinkle in some 3 stocks to these other top players plus a 3 stock in GRANDS, we're talking about someone that is a MAJOR THREAT to all top players in the world. From the gameplay, I can see Acola DESTROYING Tweek, Sparg0, and Mkleo!
@@710jameson8 Seriously? There was a bunch of top Japanese players at this Kagaribi. Obviously Acola wasn't able to face most of them because they got upsetted.
Smash patch notes if I were in charge: Steve’s weight reduced from 92 to 1 Little Mac now has 10 mid air jumps Little Mac’s neutral special replaced with KO uppercut
Acola should def be invited by BTS for Ult Summit 5 later this year. Like he has won back to back Japanese majors over Shuton, Tea, Yoshidora, Gackt,etc. Acola, Shuton, and Zackray/Proto/Tea would be a pretty good line up for a Ult Summit
Yeah definitely I hope at least 3 Japanese players go. For me I’d love acola, zackaray, and proto but I feel like if anything the 3 most likely would be acola, shuton, and tea/proto cause zackaray has been focusing on Pokémon unite instead.
@@egp13 Ult Summit 5 is in September, and I believe Zackray comes back to Smash in August so it is a possibility. But yeah Shuton/Acola/Proto is prob the Summit line up
@@theimpersonator7086 oh ok cool I didn’t know that I hope so I’d love to see him play again and yeah that summit line if we even get 3 Japan reps in summit will still most likely be acola,proto and shuton
@@random_boyfr4485yes but he is overpowered, steve has the highest potential power than any other characters. The amount of mind games possible is unfathomable, really brings the name and concept of mineCRAFT to justice. You really craft your own game out of smashbros
I really wanted to see Acola win this, I think he is RIGHT NOW the player with the best game count and set count in the world, and I think, the only player to ever win his first two majors (in a game where there is already a developed meta). Pretty cool, I want to see him compete on NA.
Nobody talked about him a month ago because he hadn't even started to go to offline tournaments yet. He just started and is steamrolling EVERY top player in Japan. He is definitely being talked about now, and starting to grab attention in the Smash community around the world.
“So he was in a bad spot because his shoryuken was going to detonate the TNT or Steve could have just done it on his own” “He get up attacked him.” “Yup” “Why?” “…….” Yeah that pause was pretty much “uuuhhh did I not just explained it to you?”
Nothing in this comment explains why he get up attacked. If Shoryu was going to detonate it why get up attack it? If Steve wanted to do it on his own why did he choose get up attack over other attacks? Was it just for style? Cuz if that’s the answer it was never said once
i have so much respect for the Ryu player not being a bad competitor in terms of sportsmanship. I've heard Steve is just real the best character in the game. maybe only Bay and MK can even get a W cleanly off Steve if they were all in ult. idk the full scope b/c im not a video gamer like that but i've seen some youtube clips and lol damn fuck that. y'all are incredible talented at this game- but me? i'd be tight lol
Ryu combos: LIGHT DOWN TILT, LIGHT DOWN DOWN TILT, HEAVY DOWNTILT, DOWN BACK SIDE SPECIAL Steve combos: Attack 🙂 Attack 🙂 Attack 🙂 Attack 🙂 Attack 🙂 Attack 🙂 Attack 🙂 Attack 🙂
I'm surprised Nintendo doesn't improve on their online play bc then they will truly compete with Xbox and playstation tbh something they should consider tbh
@@BBB-pe3ip that tile belong to sonic imo. He can legit time out numerous characters, it's just that the players have humanity and haven't sold themselves entirely.
Bro the amount of ads on this channel is crazy, like put an ad in the beginning and end Don't have pop up ads EVERY 30 seconds, like WTF? Yeah bro you gotta make money but make it viewer friendly, I can't watch if there's a pop every 30 seconds.
It kinda sucks to know that a character as iconic as steve is designed like this in smash. I wish I could watch steve mains play and be like "Wow that guys insane". It really does just feel like a character diff though :/
Doesn't Acola show off the cool stuff though? He's the first player to make me really look at the character in awe at how cool his design is if optimized.
I really like the way Steve is implemented in smash its true to his original game and watching him is always fascinating. Look there are no other top level Steve’s at the level of Acola so you have to know he’s really skilled.
The commentator's voice sounds like when I tried to commit die and then my stomach was washed so I was unable to speak properly for like for 2 months or so.
Japanese crowd is so polite. They clap after every stock LOL
He best part is they are clapping for steve stocks
I was just thinking in the last game they sounded like the Wii bowling crowd haha
Yeah. The Japanese are even like this in MMA. I always wanted to compete in Japan cause of how quiet the crowd is in competition.
It's good sportsmanship
LuWashed
As someone who never played this game, it is just awesome to see Steve fighting in a game but Minecraft
Worth mentioning that Ashimo beat ProtoBanham, Tea, AND Gackt during his run. He only lost to Acola.
acola vs gackt would have been a better grand finals smh
@@muteking9241 He fighted Gackt in this tournament.
Then he wom.

extraordinarily impressive.
Acola won two major Japanese tournaments (Kanto and Kansai) in one week.
He is definitely the best in Japan right now.

Imagine being block creature who bully karate grown man, that's hillarious
This is my first time watching a Smash pro battle and I love it. Acola is really good.
damn what sucks is ashimo was actually playing around steve really well but there's only so much you can do against that shit
fr that is wild
※ Acola is participating in this tournament for the first time
The definition of an OP character.
Steve does take skill in some regard because u need to manage ur materials
@@random_boyfr4485yes but he is overpowered, steve has the highest potential power than any other characters. The amount of mind games possible is unfathomable, really brings the name and concept of mineCRAFT to justice. You really craft your own game out of smashbros

Pretty cool, I want to see him compete on NA.
But they always bring the same old overrated players like zackray, proto, ken.. zzz
Yeah seeing him against Leo and spargo is what will let us know truly how good he is. I tell you what I bet he's grinding the Byleth and Cloud MU
@@marcof.5492 this 🐶🍑 nigga did not just call proto and Zackray overrated
@@marcof.5492 they don’t get brought over they earn the right to compete by winning tournaments lmao.
So Steve really is as OP as they say he is I see
Steve is OP but also Acola is just ridiculously good too, so put together that results in like 50% in less than the first 20 seconds
3:22 such a nasty edge guard
Steve is too complex for me to play. There's so many things to remember to do my brain just can't handle 😅
Y
nah this dude has to be the best player in japan why does no one talk about him
Everyone is talking about him where were you the last 2 weeks?!
Nobody talked about him a month ago because he hadn't even started to go to offline tournaments yet. He just started and is steamrolling EVERY top player in Japan. He is definitely being talked about now, and starting to grab attention in the Smash community around the world.
The same way nobody is talking about you 🚫🧢
Because he plays Steve
The commentators are good but I also would like to be able to heard the game
If they making Steve being more accurate, they have to add the most OP thing that Steve can do in Minecraft. Creative Mode
Or add enchantments, could also work.
Just watched this set in Nov 2023, I was firmly against banning Steve before I saw this set.
Every 80% up tilt combo breaks my heart again
“So he was in a bad spot because his shoryuken was going to detonate the TNT or Steve could have just done it on his own”
“He get up attacked him.”
“Yup”
“Why?”
“…….”
Yeah that pause was pretty much “uuuhhh did I not just explained it to you?”
Nothing in this comment explains why he get up attacked.
If Shoryu was going to detonate it why get up attack it?
If Steve wanted to do it on his own why did he choose get up attack over other attacks?
Was it just for style? Cuz if that’s the answer it was never said once
会場大盛り上がりじゃないか！
あcola君優勝おめでとう！
bing chilling
I'm one of the commentators. Here's a drinking game: take a sip every time I say "yeah"
This dude is so fucking good
Acola is 15 years old.
they say can he beat goku though... but now can goku beat steve?
Steve is just so unfair its crazy
Ikr
So Acola is the Japan Sparg0 and Zackray needs to stop him?
I wonder if this is gonna trigger Zackray to a comeback.

3:45 Acola play without a GameCube controller.
Pro controller the wæ
He plays the best one
Tbh when I use a GameCube controller I feel like there’s way more delay in my moves than when I use a pro controller
@@idith7403 your adapter might be the problem
@@thesnorlaxagenda that’s what I thought too, but I’ve also tried the USB GameCube controllers and I felt like that also had a delay
3:23 it worked didn't it
What is exploitable on early frames and why and what does this mean
Steve has such a huge moveset
DANG Steve is OP
steve is broken good but gotta use him well kinda like olamar takes awhile to set up and hard to use but if u can effectivly u will win
Was Ashimo vs Proto on stream?
It was off stream but someone streamed it on their phone (low resolution though) : www.twitch.tv/videos/1475346642

I may not be good at smash but from the first match i saw he had multiple opportunities for Steve to aerial smash the opponent out.

A lot of Japanese tournaments turn off all friendly setups during grand finals so that everyone watches.
