Sparg0 (Cloud) vs あcola (Donkey Kong, Pyra/Mythra) - Ultimate Singles Grand Final - Battle of BC 5 

Loved it when Leo came on stage at game 10 and said, “ remember who your father is” and double 3 stocked acola and spargo. This just proves that our goat can bounce back from 13th place!

Crazy that Acola 6 - 0'd Sparg0 in just under 15 mins with DK.

Spargo only dropped 3 games in this entire tournament. Bruh.

Leo's been telling us for a couple of years now. "spargo will be the best player in the world"

Sparg0 and Acola are the future of this game. They are 17 and 16, respectively. Massive respect for both of them.

Sparg0 is undoubtedly Leo’s successor That said, Japan came through this tourney, 5 in top 8 is crazy. And once in top 8 they mainly got eliminated by each other (shoutout to kameme’s run, onin leo gluto is insane) I’d still put japan as the best region, which makes Sparg0 h2h’s and kagaribi performance all the more impressive Sparg0at

What you guys didn’t hear is that, when spargo hugged Acola there, spargo learned from his mentor, maister, and whispered “you fucking suck”

The reason why acola went DK is because it was already Monke Monday in Japan at this moment

7:01 I still find funny that finishing touch is a move that looks so devastating for only dealing 1% damage, it's always satisfactory to see.

Sparg0 can't be denied. He's Leo's successor. The title of best player in the world stays in México.

Very wholesome to also cheer for Acola at the end, felt bad watching him sob a little bit. Great set to both.

Sparg0 is no longer the future. He is the now. SPARGOAT #1 IN THE WORLD

Wow, this kid is the son of a good friend! Seems very quiet, awesome to see him win and considered the best in the world

The start of a beautiful rivalry

ほんとにこのゲームの人たちは暖かい、こんな素晴らしい景色をいつまでも見ていたい

あcolaさんこれからだ、頑張ってくれ。スパーゴ優勝おめでとう🎊

So much respect to both of these players, so good. Excited to see how their rivalry develops

SPARGOAT!!!!!! You're a legend, thanks for holding it down for Mexico. #1 Player in the world.

Seeing acola play Aegis was a pretty refreshing experience, and you can tell he wants to play the character as a secondary and you can absolutely tell he can get the best of the best with that character too. He just needs to polish a little bit more and I’m excited to see what he will bring to the table in the near future. Kid’s no cheese, he has talent. Congrats to the current best in the world, sparg0at 🤘

sparg0at is just too good. literally nothing can even beat him. SPARG0AT ON TOPPPP

あcola did well, I'm very happy that he got 2nd and I hope he doesn't have any regrets

Spargo is definitely #1, great match vs acola! A truly grand final

Spargo in the building! My fave player to watch. Keep shining my guy. The sky is your limit.

Love to see chuck and Hax spitting it at the end. great work everyone!

Felicidades Sparg0, representando a México :D Eres el mejor jugador del mundo!

I think it’s fair to say at this point that Spargo is the best in the world, it’s undeniable at this point. I only hope he doesn’t fall prey to the “yes I’m the best in the world” curse. Happened to Leo at Genesis after he stated it and then Acola at summit when he declared the same thing. I guess we’ll see in the next coming majors… (Btw feels bad for Acola, was crying on stage after the set.)

unironically rooted for the DK shocked he even tried it considering it’s must been like a year since he last used dk in bracket but letsgo monke

Enjoyed the acola switch up, props for that and congrats to spargo he was in true form

スパーゴVSへろー見たいわ あとバナムとの対麺がどれほど成長したかもまた見たい

Sentí mucha lastima por Acola por haberlo visto triste, la verdad es bien doloroso perder una final, acola lo intento con varios personajes distintos, pero SpargO es simplemente poderoso, al final me alegro de que los jugadores japoneses, el de microfono y el publico hayan consolado a Acola.

*Acola down 0-2 in grands* Charles: if your Acola you gotta win this game

Been saying he's the best for over a year. Been rooting for him to be since I picked up Cloud and watched his gameplay 4 years ago. Keep making him go Donkey Kong, GOAT. Thanks for the show.

So Spargo really just inherited his god tier powers from Leo 😂. It’s awesome that he won this and solidifying his #1 spot in the rankings. Props to Acola too for making it to grand again, definitely still a strong player despite ppl calling him carried and washed, but only losing to Spargo this tournament. Can’t wait to see Spargo and Acola dominate! They both have come so far :)

Dhir is such a good dude. Nobody even noticed until he went to console acola

Holy shit the reaction to acola picking Donkey Kong at 0:10 seconds is so fucking funny. I can't stop rewatching it and looking at different people's reactions.

0:17 Guy on the left's mouth is in perfect sync with the commentators saying "Donkey Kong?!"

I think Acola is still only in the process of developing, and his impatience shows in his play, although it is hard to tell with his poker face and mask. Sparg0 is stronger because he has established his own moves and is more confident. I look forward to seeing Acola's hesitation cleared up and both players at their best in the rematch, which I hope will be a full-set, heated match.

Was rooting for Acola here. Aegis is seeming to be his best answer against Cloud currently. I think with some more polish they can definitely get it done for him. GGs to Sparg0

this was a grandfinals set

Like everyone has said, I think at this point we can firmly established that Sparg0 has indeed surpassed Leo. Leo is just too inconsistent now. Sparg0 has hit top 8 if not outright won every non invitational major in his entire competitive history dating all the way back to port riptide 2021 (which many consider the official return of competitive ultimate post pandemic). This hot streak of winning Major Upset, Kagaribi 10 and now BoBC 5 will guarantee him a spot at rank 1 for ultrank 2023, assuming they split it off into winter/spring and then summer/fall like the PGR did.

I'm glad the crowd had the heart to cheer Acola on even after he lost and that people came up to comfort Acola. Unlike some people who actually have no heart. But still that definitely was the most silent awkward 15-20 seconds. But Ey good stuff on Spargoat!

latest lanking #1 sparg0at #2 acola #3 miya #4 tweek #5-10 light,yoshidora, shouton, tea,sonix or mkleo There won't be any P-tier competitions for a while, so there's no room for discussion about this order.

すごい…海外勢って本当に見てて飽きない。 新たなモチベをありがとう。SpargOさんのおかげでもっと頑張れます。もっとスマブラを勉強します。

Can't believe Acola didn't even try to use his main, doesn't matter how much of a losing matchup you think it is or how good your oponent is to play against it, if you're getting to GF and pulling out a DK you might as well give a shot to the top tier DLC that put you on the map and see what happens.

Sparg0 becoming the best player in the world was inevitable; it was simply a matter of time.

しょっぱなの熱い握手でまず泣いた

many matches between these two to come

何やっても勝てないの圧倒的な強者って感じの構図でいいな これに挑戦し続けるあコーラも良い

I have seen very little Acola's DK at competitions. There is room for growth, I don't want them to give up on DK yet.

i still can’t believe acola played dk

Coast to coast Acola against Sparg0 again in Grand Finals, it's incredible how they meet each other again in Finals. While Sparg0 is just kryptonite for Acola, he had no chance... which I kinda like because it seems - of all the players - Sparg0 is the only one who can shut Steve down comfortably.

I really wonder what secondary Acola should invest in now to have a better fighting chance against Sparg0. He definitively can't just get away with using one of his too many pocket characters, that much has been proven. He needs to focus on one of them and use it in real tournaments a bunch, even against other top players. It will probably lead to a temporary drop in results, but it's the only way I could see him having a shot at not being stuck in second place for the rest of the year. And judging by the end, he REALLY isn't satisfied with a second place, he wants to be first.

Acola and spargo are the new mkleo and tweek. And I think we all know which is which. One is the hurdle the other one can't overcome

2nd most dominating tournament with only 3 game losses after Leos only 1 game loss in Ludwigs tournament last year!

I feel for acola, he really wanted the win but spargo was on his A game this tournement. I hope he is alright and can bounce back even though he did insanely good at 2nd place

Spargo is undeniably the best player in the world. Japan is the strongest area, followed right behind by Mexico.

Jeez, how often does this happen? Sparg0 beat Acola so bad at Kagaribi that he won not only that final and that tournament, but the next one (that is, this one) as well, because Acola was still too shaken to play his own main -- with whom he beat every other opponent with in this very stacked supermajor! You can see Acola apparently weeping at the end of this video -- is he okay? As an English speaker I don't get a lot of clues about his mental state, but I hope he's not getting too down on himself. Such a great player at a young age, traveling around the world; maybe sometimes it's too much? Sparg0 had to take a mental health break himself for I think a couple months last year, so even the very best have to do some self-care.

"Never thought id cheer for Acola" "how about a DK?" "Aye, that i would"

The year of the spargo has begun

スパーゴ強すぎてもう訳分からん

That b reverse off the ledge at 1:23 was a pro controller reverse. Happens to me all the time🥲

Sparg0´s Cloud is literally art.

2:26 Yes he is. He's insane at it.

〜Kagaribi＃11 ???「I have to admit, I was angry. Everyone seems to have forgotten who is the best in the world.」

Sparg0 be looking so bored when he wins lol He’s the Lu Bu of Smash Bros right now

Japanese and Mexican Smash players are a different breed man. So many talents from these two countries. Leo, Acola, Spargo, Tea, Maister, Zackray, Abadango.

Sparg0 said the only player he worried about was muteace surprisingly

I feel so bad for Acola. Seeing him cry was pretty devastating.

スパーゴに挑み続ける姿がすうザクレイMkleoと重なるんだよな ザクレイはその後のコロナユナイト云々色々重なっちゃったり本人のスマモチベ低下とかでここ最近はLeoに挑戦することなくなっちゃったけど、そうならないといいな あこーらさん頑張って欲しい、マジでスティーブってキャラは正直嫌いだけどそんなのどうでも良くなるくらい応援したいなって思う

Last game was brutal. There's just no getting away from cloud

That trophy looks like an AXE shampoo.

I can’t believe that Acola pulled out the W with donkey Kong by using the going bananas tech to teleport

Mkleo vs Zackray →Sparg0 vs Acola

EXCELENTE

神すぎ。

I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s extremely messed up that they unmuted the mic just to hear acola crying….right? Dude is literally 16

With this, I think it is 10000000% safe to say that Sparg0 is the best in the game right now. Emphasis on “right now” though. Leo is still the GOAT. Sparg0 will need keep up this up for a few more years before he gets that title too.

Did you know? Since the return of smash after quarantine, A Mexican player has reached Grand Finals in every single Super Major but one out of the (18/19) attended from 2021 until today. Of the single time they did not reach a GF, they were still able to at least achieve a 3rd place finish. Let that sink in for a minute, I mean truly think about it. First Place Finish (13/19) 🇺🇸Riptide 2021 - Super Major: 🥇MKLeo, 🥉Sparg0 🇺🇸Low Tide City 2021 - Super Major: 🥇MKleo 🇺🇸Mainstage 2021 - Super Major [🇯🇵Present]: 🥇MKLeo, 🥈Sparg0 🇺🇸SWT 2021 - Super Major [🇯🇵Present]: 🥇MKLeo, 🥉Sparg0 🇺🇸Collision 2022 - Super Major: 🥇Sparg0, 🥉MKLeo 🇺🇸Genesis 8 - Super Major: 🥇MKLeo, 🥉Sparg0 🇫🇷COLOSSEL 2022 - Super Major: 🥇MKLeo, 🥈Maister, 🥉Chag 🇲🇽Smash Factor 9 - Super Major: 🥇MKLeo 🇺🇸Ludwigs - Super Major [🇯🇵Present]: 🥇MKLeo 🇺🇸Mainstage - Super Major [ 🇯🇵Present]: 🥇Sparg0 🇺🇸Genesis 9 - Premier Major [ 🇯🇵Present]:🥇MKLeo 🇯🇵Kagaribi #10 - Premier Major [🇯🇵Present]: 🥇Sparg0 🇨🇦Battle Of BC 5 - Premier Major [🇯🇵Present]: 🥇Sparg0 Second Place Finish (5/19) 🇺🇸Pound 2022 - Super Major [🇯🇵Present]: 🥈MKLeo 🇺🇸Double Down 2022 - Super Major [🇯🇵Present]: 🥈MKLeo 🇺🇸Super Smash Con 2022 - Super Major: 🥈Maister 🇺🇸Let's Make Big Moves 2023 - Super Major: 🥈Sparg0 🇺🇸Collision 2023 - Super Major: 🥈SkyJay, 🥉Sparg0 Third Place Finish (1/19) 🇺🇸MomoCon 2022 - Super Major: 🥉Maister Notice something peculiar? Apart from Mexico having never placed below 3rd at a Super Major/Premier level event in the last 3 years, Mexico is also the country who has won the most Super Major/Premier level tournaments since 2021. Mexico is the only country to have won a Super Major/Premier level event in 5 different Countries. And Mexico is the only country to have never had an invader win a Super Major/Premier level tournament in their own territory. Mexico is also the only country to have a positive head to head record with Japan (7-1) in Super Major/Premier level tournament wins when both countries top talents are in attendance. Give it up to Mexico! Truly some outright amazing statistics and players!

damn sparg0 doing this at 11 years old this is crazy

wild this dude picked up cloud in wii u smash and just rolled with it

Congrats to Sparg0! I can't believe that MKLeo, Glutonny, Light, Kola, MuteAce, Dabuz and Tweek were knocked out so early. None of them made it to top 8! But Sparg0 did and won. Very nice. I'm not surprised MKLeo didn't make it, though. He has been slipping a lot in the last year and I am having a hard time seeing him make a comeback. He seems pretty gassed out. Sparg0 new number one?!

13:08 I feel sad for Acola 🥲

3:43 bro let out a monkey cry he was so hype about the F-smash call out😭😂

Happy for Spargo i still remember his first match against Marss .

I always root for Spargoat even against leo. He deserves recognition

Sparg0 dejó todo depresivo ha Acola. De hecho duele perder. Pero es más doloroso perder en la gran final, y siempre con el mismo rival. Y en el torneo anterior de Japón, parece que Acola no ha olvidado la super paliza que recibió de Sparg0.

Sparg0 is the best in the business now. What a beast

2戦目ドンキーに対して掴みの拒否が上手すぎる、掴まれさえしなかったらもうクラウド有利ってことなのか

"Leo is washed now lul, oh wait, the other mexican kid is still kicking our ass"

Twitch chat was relentless towards Acola. He was crying and they did not even care. Immature.

I do wish everyone well. Kick buns to them.

Who can beat him? Now he is in the realm of gods.

あcolaが何出しても全部ねじ伏せるのマジで最強すぎる 日本でワンチャンあるのってマジでバナムくらいじゃないか？相性的にへろーもあるのかな

Spargo said top two and I'm not two

Yeaaah felicidades Spargooo 🎉

Damn, poor Acola he was seriously upset

Free-est grand finals of all time

頼むからBanham大会出てくれ。 今のスパーゴを倒す方法は、 崖ホットリングで 破壊するしかないんだ。

I would love to see Acola master another character. I do not blame him for playing steve, the character obviously suits him incredibly well and although IMO Steve isn't quite balanced enough I cannot blame Acola one bit for wanting to compete at the highest level with the best character, but I would be so cool to see how well he could do with another character. DK is hype but I think his ceiling is a bit low and I think he's pretty simple and while people love to see him kill, I think its lame when he just up throw upairs off a platform for 80% of his killed (even though that's just how you play the character optimally).

Acola is proving he's more than just a Steve despite the outcome
