LIGHT DESERVED THIS! - The Gimvitational Top 8 Reaction 

As soon as Light gave that speech I knew he was gonna get destroyed

We really went from Light saying he's the better player to Acola saying his biggest challenge was Kola and not Light lmao Bless you Acola ^^

Humble Light: Homie Stocks and proceeds to elegantly win Cocky Light: Calls himself better and gets wrecked

Light saying "I'm not worried cause I'm better than him" to losing next set is a true combo at this point.

Cosmos needs to start choking again so he can work on that victory dance a bit more

Larry’s reaction 😂

it was so funny to see light say "I'll beat acola", then after the set, he called Void while he was on stream and said "we gotta do something about Steve" xD

Humble Asimo: I'm so happy to be here with players that are stronger than me! Cocky Light: I just think I'm a better player. 🤣

3:50 riddles got up like he was bout to pull out the 9 on that Steve player

We all knew Light was not winning once he did that speech LMAO

“I think i’m just a better player” aged so well lmao after that grand finals

Asimo is so good, he makes ryu look like a top tier

As soon as I heard Acola was coming to America I got so excited to see him vs MKLeo and Spargo. Leo isn’t actually at this tournament (I didn’t realize that until after it started lol) and Spargo never got to play him. I’m sure I’ll see those play out eventually

Watching light get bodied after saying those things is delightful.

That taunt to get bodied IRL is so satisfying. Acola doing God's work.

As soon as light started talking smack I knew an ass whooping was in-bound

12:23 had me crying man. Nairo is a savage hahaha

39:14 moments captured on video before disaster

NGL Asimo vs Kola had me on the edge of my seat, that shit was hella close.

The Thumbnail People who don’t know: LETS GO LIGHT People who know: XD

I enjoyed your commentary during this Top 8.

I mean to be fair, Light always says cocky stuff like that. He said at Summit that he would win the whole thing with so much confidence. I think it's just something he does to hype himself up

Asimo was on fire!! So fun watching him!

Honestly I don't even mind block, for me its the ways how minecart is a recovery option, projectile and a command grab.

Asimo really gets me thinking of maining Ryu cause holy shit that performance against Kola was world class and a nail biter

That face he made after that ryu combo haha

Light vs Riddles is my favorite match to watch every single time.

Sparg0's sponsor curse really waited this long to kick in

2:28 that was actually insane

28:28 same reaction as me lol

Video starts with cosmos dancig, you kknow its gonna be a banger

Great Vid Nairo!

I really just cant understand why people think Steve sets are lame. I watched all of them and they are mad interesting! Super explosive and unpredictable!

Light 🤡

I’m gonna get flamed for this but I cannot stand Hbox’s commentary. He legit screams every time anything mediocre happens. Calling FGC characters “fighties” is the dumbest thing I’ve heard. Either way, great commentary from you as always, Nairo!

@25:05 “if it works it’s technically not a gimmick.” I don’t think that’s how gimmicks work. Gimmicks are used because they’re expected to work. Whether they work or not isn’t tied to whether or not it’s a gimmick 😑

Larry didn’t deserve this!

Kola played so good

Kola vs. Asimo game 5 took years off my life.

I need cosmos to do that every set

Bro light is such a chad for that homie stock

I been saying. Those long combo you like from sheik? Fox got those and he'll kill you with that upair and Bair and upsmash. He's sheik with practical kill power.

The beginning already got me fucking dead 💀

We got lucky, this grand finals is Steve vs Light, very soon it will be Steve vs Steve.

This was an absolutely incredible tournament for everyone so entertaining

Light is so cool and uncool at the same time. Super cool for giving the homie stock to Kola and then dismantling him. Super uncool for being cocky and saying he's clearly better than Acola and getting rekt.

0:45 arent fighting game characters called FGCs? because ive heard that term before but dont know if thats what it means

I don’t care what anyone says I love watching Steve, block is such a hype move.

Strong believer that Alex is a worse character than Steve

"nah it aint startin nothin the only thing it starting is banning and counterpicking" LOL

Ee : "the money doesn't matter, hes playing for pride and glory" 🤡🤡🤡🤣

what kind of controller is acola using?? it didnt look like a gamecube type. probably the pro??

As much as I do respect Acola as a player and he is incredibly skilled, and glad he put light down for being cocky, Steve still is a disgusting powerful character with imo too many options. Then again it’s not like Acola didn’t lose a game playing Steve so it it do able.

Yay. I’m so happy Steve won here 🤓

Ongod a fighty? tf?💀

Nairo cringe block lol I love it

back to the lab again

Man.. Steve can get away with so much

Well, at least Cosmos dances as good as he chokes

Bruh Asimo might be on to something saying Ryu is the best of FGCs

It's true what they say. Pride comes before the fall.

29:29 Was... Was that Toad on comms?

I thought Cosmos doing that dance was super cringe, at first, but then I watched the whole best of 5...and I totally understand why he did it now. I have watched a lot of pro games, but I have never seen someone spam a special attack like Larry did with the side B...it was getting to the point of being obnoxious, like it was a game of online quickplay or something. Spamming a punishable move like that is essentially telling your opponent "I think your too dumb and slow to react to this, so Imma just keep throwing it out for free damage". The last game Cosmos was on point with punishing Larry's repeated side b, and the final stock he took was another punished side b. Typically I think you shouldnt be a sore winner, but if you wanna play like that then yea Imma do a victory dance to rub that salt in.

LMFAOOOO first clip 😂

4:26 I dunno man... I feel like a weakness should be weak.

Smh light i wanted to see you take it home

I’ve been waiting for this vid, always good content

Kola the GOAT

22:58 If we all know why then you shouldn't have to say it. Overcompensating? Nervous? Gonna cry? I'm so tired.

I wanna know what their heart rate is during these matches😂

Steve is goated

26:50

Now I’m not saying Ban Steve, but Anvil is ATROCIOUS, and EVERYONE IS GETTING HIT BY IT

Kola just lose a pice of his power by cutting is hair 😔

just one thing over here is a fact, filthy... fox... player gettin destroyed , and im so happy for dat

16:43

"I'm just a better player than him"

Omg, a was so hype in some sets (Kola vs Spargo for example), but the Steve matches weren't. That character just drain all the hype in me

❤️

gotta throw this whole entire game out and get a new one at this point for real

Yes sir

Not 10 minutes in and yeah... Minecart could've been nerfed JUST A TAD!!

“Cosmos knows like, 3 matchups”

I think Spargo could take the match against Acola, too sad he didnt make it.

Light is ANNOYING. His hand shaking is ridiculous and he needs to stop it. Cocky lol.

What’s wrong with thinking you’re a better player? U supposed to have irrational confidence if you wanna be the best mang0 been this way and he’s always praised for it

*the sad reality is that sometimes it doesn't matter if you're the better player, cheese will always have an upper hand. Smash 4 bayo proved that. Light deserved that doe lmao humble him a bit*

Where was your invitation?

Man, steve. If a good *well known* player actually piloted steve, we'd be complaining more

0:08 Boomer reacts to zoomer foolery and nonsense

Larry’s reaction

LATE

Late late late

steve corny af

I hate steve. If we’re allowing meme characters to be good I want Isabelle and Plant to be high tier at the bare minimum.

Ngl Steve busted at 95% with a basic combo?????

I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of light but from what I saw, light did actually back up he words in the arrogant speech of his. He was the better player. Steve was just the significantly better character.

Roy boring AF

God i hate Steve gameplay 😂

I just don't want anybody who plays Minecraft Steve to succeed. That character should not be in smash
