2GGC: Nairo Saga - BSD | Elegant (Luigi) Vs. P1 | CaptainZack (Bayonetta) - Pools Winners Finals 

let's go elegant!

I respect Zack as a player, but I enjoy seeing him lose a set after he taunts multiple times

7:11 The idea of Luigi punching bat within only to grab her when she reappears behind him is actually the most badass thing I've ever seen Luigi do.

I think a lot of people don't understand what makes a character legitimately "broken." Several top players, such as Mr. R, Tweek, abadango, Dabuz, and others have tried to win large tournaments using bayo and failed, finding that they do better with their own characters. Now obviously Bayo is fantastic character, likely the best in the game, but in order for a character to be broken it has to be so good that you could not play better with any other character in the game, which clearly isn't the case. In comparison, brawl actually has 2 characters that are more broken, meta knight, which won almost every single tournament in brawl due to his absurdly good frame data and move-set, as well as ice climbers where GRAB TO DEATH was always an option. Bayonetta has the best recovery, insane come back potential with ladder combos and witchtime, BUT she has punishable KO moves relying on either a witch time or sdi-vulnerable ladder combo to KO early. Otherwise bayo has to fish for stale back airs to KO at very late percent, which was a key problem for zack in this game. On top of that, Bayo has BAD MATCHUPS. How do you counter witch time? By grabbing. Elegant is known for his exceptional grab combos, often reaching around 80% off of one grab. Should bayo use a punishable option characters with shoryuken type movies can deal great damage. At the very least, most top players believe bayo loses to cloud and diddy kong, a broken character loses no matchups and forces most top players to use it (because believe it or not, most top players play to win). Remember, characters carry players, not the other way around.

Elegant should have Luigi danced on Zack

Captain Zack reminds me of one of those guys in professional wrestling. People liked to see them win, but they would love it more when they lost.

elegant is actually a god

not this time zack, I love watching these to play it's always so intense, I love how they go back and forth

Captain Zack definitely needs to keep the mask on to cover up his shame.

Congrats to elegant taking the set! Not a fan of Zack, but i'll give him mad props for taking the sickest stock of the set.

13:42 Insane recovery from Elegant.

it's fun to see YT says this game is Bayonetta and not smash lol

Remember when Luigi was the lamest ahhh different times

Omfg that ending from Elegant was beautiful, so calculated yet so bold and risky

Bruh I screamed so loud when he got stage spiked. Holy shit. Not what i was expecting. O.o good games

taunt to get bodied, zack

I missed having mods at big tournaments, feels good hearing Eltnum's theme during a set again. Amazing set from both!

Lets go!! Fellow Luigi main! Had me super nervous on that last game! What a good Bayonetta.

that 53% in 5 seconds at the start of the vid. hot dang. and i love how he went for the up b cheese shortly after. no chill dang that first game was mad impressive by elegant

GGs to both players, Elegant was so clutch at the end and hope to see Zack win a big tourney one day he has so much passion

0:30 Well, my good commentator- Elegant understands that he gets a ton of mileage off of grabs especially with Luigi, a character who thrives on grab combos and reads. He knows when his combos have enough hitstun to lead into the next attack which is why Elegant does not get witch timed often. He also punishes Captain Zack's (Bayonetta's) laggy moves to the fullest extent. Take Elegant's up B kill on Zack's side B for instance on these situations. There are also times when Elegant's opponents, who play Bayonetta, use 2-4 up or side specials in the air, resulting in very much end lag (yes, the more specials Bayo uses in the air, the more end lag she accumulates when she lands). Just like when catching jumps or retaliating against smash attacks, Elegant punishes Bayo players hard in laggy situations.

I dont like Zack. Its not because he plays bayo, but because of his smug personality and constant taunting

6:46 It is extremely important to watch out for Witch Times on the ledge. Abusing Bayo with grabs or projectiles on the ledge racks up a ton of percent even if you play a character with a terrible grab range like Little Mac. Getting Witch Timed at center stage gives a player more survivability as they have a chance to DI away from Bayo's Witch Twist to ABK combos (unless the player is at 60% or higher, in which case Bayo can fully charge Usmash and kill lightweight to midweight characters; heavyweights have a chance of survival with good DI).

Damn! They were going at it!

the two best showmans in the smash comunity in a match! WOW!

Zack must practise the techs more. It not only killed him in the last stock, it also made him in danger some times in this match before. And Im so happy Elegant won, he's my favourite player and definitely the player that made me understand how to play luigi cause I always wanted to pick that character c:

4:03 Obviously a Super Jump Punch attempt; Luigis misinput specials all the time, though I mostly see it when attempting Luigi Cyclones and instead doing Green Missiles, (like the one at 9:33 I think.) But that's not really important. It's nice to see Elegant taking this character to a new level, and between him and Mr. Con Con, I hope to see plenty of Luigi representation at this tournament!

WAY TO GO ELEGANT REPRESENTING LUIGIS! Also good stuff to Zack putting up a good fight!

What a heartbreaker

Zack may be a taunter and stuff, but we need someone who is a kind of villain or someone who taunts a bunch its like Leffen a little bit from melee we need that anger sometimes it makes things fun!

0:22 (jaw drops) ...DAMN... Elegant's making Bayonetta look like a low-tier. XD

And thats what happens when you taunt.

The first stock of the first match was BRUTAL Holy shit i love Elegant :D

that has to be apart of a most intense match montage

I'm really enjoying the modded music Smash 4, this should be a staple, as long as it's approved.

captain zack? more like captain no tech

elegant's posture when he plays is always so good looking

Announcer squeal @12:12

And people still think Luigi isn't top tier? HAH!

Elegant slowly becoming my favorite player

Im sad that my fav bayo player lost. I feel your pain Zack.

T H E B A Y O S L A Y E R. Good luck to both these players in the rest of bracket!

LET'S GO ELEGANTE

holy. shit it started already? gimme some results ppl

The Zack butthurt defense squad never fails to taint the comment section. Before when he started getting attention: "You just hate him cause he's good" After constantly getting rekt by the competition: "I-It's just a game" Sad.

Omg those techs. Let's go Elegant!

Let's fucking go Elegant!!

At 13:48, Zack uses his jump, but at 13:51 he's able to use it again... how?

5:25 The techs though

Zack just got BANNED!

God do I love to see Zack lose. Dance now lol

Anyone know what controller scheme Elegant uses? I mainly want to know if he uses c-stick tilt

Shoryu to taunting the taunt master. ELEGANT!

lol why is the game "bayonetta" in the description?

Lol, why do people still get salty about taunting? Seriously, who even cares?

Luigi up-b to taunt is a true combo

God I love Elegant, and yaaa boiii. Taunt that man.

Holy crap, Elegant!

Yo Elegant can get top 8 winners, that's crazy for a super major

Fuckin' great match. Good commentary also!

I don't care about the taunting. It's the cringy bayo twirls he does after he wins a set that get me. But whatever I still like him.

People put way too much effort into hating a 15 year old, Jesus Christ. He's a kid who's fucking around. I cheer against him, but I don't hate him.

Zack just won this exact matchup a few days earlier xD

Is that luigi costume a mod?

I love u elegant!

nice set

Lets Go Elegant!!!

If you get mad at taunts, I assume you always drown in pools

when u complain about taunting in the game, ur literally like the 12 year old on COD that cries to his mom when he gets outplayed

Zack looked like he was hurting after that :(

what the hell is that luigi skin? are they playing modded? sorry if im out of the loop, haha.

People getting pissed off at someone taunting or just having fun is funny

I love it when bayo loses

YES

ELEGANT FTW.

Zack had this. Not sure why he was playing aggresive with the lead :/

Yes elegant!

Can someone explain to me why do people hate Captain Zack?

Come on guys, that was a really intense set and you have to comment about how you hate Zack? Smh this community sometimes...

Taunting is like a mind game but in top level smash, I don't find it amusing. It's just disrespectful in my opinion. I don't hate zack. I'm just saying. And that goes for anyone, not just Zack.

I like how i pop off for my boy elegant but bro didn't show no emotion when he won.

8:23 Da fuq? So much knock back that It looked like wave dash..

Luigi dance v Bayo dance

He outhacked the hack lol

This comment section is why Melee players hate us

Second best set today

Idc what nobody says I like u Zack even when you taunt. Good job to the both of y'all.

YESSSSSSS!

dance zack!! hahaha

"Boo-hoo. Somebody taunted. Boo-hoo." Cry me a river.

Luigi is GOD!!!! Beyoneta is GONE!!!

How do people get so mad over taunting? Who cares?

Captain Zack is always hype. More players need to taunt.

Always glad to see that scrub lose. Way to go elegant

YES!!! DAS wat I'm talkin' bout, L!! Clutch!!

when u actually get upset cause someone taunts. working as intended? lul

That's what you get for taunting hahahaha he must feel like an idiot

LET'S GO ELEGANT! lol!!!

omfg it was obviously suppose to be an up b to catch the tech in place.

Zack was clearly the less skilled player just using a brainless character. I know it's been said a million times but boyonetta ruined the competative scene. (Just my opinion though)
