SWT NA West Group D - T3 DOM (Richter) Vs. Kiyarash (Luigi) Smash Ultimate Tournament 

Sum up : B button < one grab from Luigi

I mean, this is the first time he demonstrates otherwise

Luigi is not a wifi character though lol

@@gj4312 kiyarash specifically, not luigi

yea idk how you expect a luigi to be good online but bad offline 🤦🏾‍♂️

@@uprollsariotvan That’s not true at all. He’s done well at msm locals

❤

I agree , great commentary and a very enjoyable set overall !

It is a mixture of Kiyarash playing godlike and T3 Dom doing brainless spamming If felt offended , watch T3’s sets at Summit qualifier , that’s what’s called spam with brain

@@user-lq4ct6dr5m Agreed, I don't know why his play style changed so significantly even though these two qualifiers are leading to tournaments of similar calibur

@@user-lq4ct6dr5m he said he wasn't playing like himself that day which definitely shows in this set. He still in winners side for tomorrow so I hope he plays better and qualifies. Man is godlike :]

@@Noot_Penguin tbf everyone has their excuses as not everything goes their way. He’a basically saying he’s not elegant but in reality he still got outplayed and outpaced.

lol no he’s not the future of smash

*matchup *rite

@@AndreasSaag yes thank u

They're pretty punishable.

I think Kiyarash kept close to dom and started parrying a lot, he didn't let him do his proyectile game. And Dom started tilting just to get him out of his face (spoiler alert: he couldn't)

Everyone’s eyes do

@@ThePatrick1123 ohh truu

@@StretchDub I think metaknight has his eyes turn red since usually the eyes turn yellow but his are already yellow

@@yungfungus5268 That's because Meta Knight has future sight haki

@@ThePatrick1123 Not Mr G&W >:(

@@jaysibiri There's a joke on Twitter that Kiyarash is the future of Smash, I'm not entirely serious. He is very good though.

They're both good but kyryash should start going to majors

But elegant adapts to many of his opponents habits super well, ever since his smash 4 days. There’s so many things kyarash could have done that I think elegant would have, like in game 2 when Dom was at his last stock, he was DI in the entire match but as soon as he saw this could be the end, he DI’s out and Kiyarash didn’t capitalize on it. This is fairly common amongst smash players and Elegant has done this a lot in my time watching him. One example I can think of on the top of my head is his set with yonni, don’t remmeber which game but elegant read the habit and won the match. Not saying Kiyarash is bad though, I mean he beat Dom for gods sake.

@@SomeoneWeird-vx5jx That’s why Elegant is the best Luigi

Kiyarash has better parry and 0 to death conversions but elegant has better neutral. Combined they would be op

Lmao it's exactly what I did and boy was I wrong. I was sad too because my fav player using my fav character lost :( ... But what a wonderful set tho!

I think you're thinking of Shuton.

It's literally luigi's worst/2nd worst matchup

@@greedo194 yeah im aware. Luigi's matchup spread is really good, though, and richter's is really bad. luigi is a phenomenal character. Richter is not.

@@imaok10 Luigi is a mid tier

@@gv82089 Not to say that top players are ALWAYS right, or that we should mindlessly trust/believe them... but I'd trust elegant's opinion that Luigi is a high high tier character over your opinion lol

@@imaok10 ain’t no way boy

No way Luigi is our best matchup. Surely it's between Ganon, DK, Kirby, and King K. Rool

This matchup is garbage for luigi, Dom should've won but he choked

this is literally a plus 2 for richter. luigi deserves to get every single hit because even getting an opening is hard enough

Lol. Learn your stuff, kiddo. Belmonts have to move like crazy so they can space correctly, since they lack frame data and a lot of their moves have a good amount of cooldown, they have to make up for it by timing their attacks and controlling space. They can't engage quite like some brawlers like say mario as most of their stuff is unsafe on block unless they space correctly or end crossing up. Also any belmont main MUST master the whip angles as it can net them kills or just help them space. Needless to say the angles help them with their combo game. They actually combo their projectiles with aerials for instance axe can lead to a fair mostly used during edgeguards (straight or angled up) cross can combo into fair or even more aerials. A belmont main must also know where the opponent will end in order to cover the space properly also during ledge trap they have to time the projectiles to help themselves react and get a kill. Of course they keep distance Any whiff vs a character witg better frame data translates into damage or death. That does not mean they don't interact lol. It's ok if you don't like them but don't go saying uninformed dumb stuff. Reason games 1 and 2 seemed that way was because dom was playing great and the remaining 3 games are just a testament to what happens when belmonts get figured out or the opponent manages to break into their zone. That's how volatile their matchups can be. Needless to say they're heavy and have big bodies (hence combo food), lack air moblity and frame data and their recovery is exploitable af

If my opponent just holds forward and keeps tanking my whip, cross and holy water with his face, then im going to keep throwing them until he figures out where his R button is.

Luigi is way worse

@@dask7428 well, actually neither are toxic. people just think they are cuz they don't like them lol

Well we have one last chance for it to be nerfed

Luigi has so many cons he needs something like that

@@davidketschek1167 I don't think so or Ganon should get that too right ?

@@its_truema_6754 Literally all of Ganon's moves kill relatively early aside from his jab. I wish he was a little faster though and tbh I hate Ganon.

Mario Rob and ZSS kinda can do this too and they are much better than Luigi lol
