Hey yoga, i've been an absolute fan of the magic series since the first video.. it's sad to know that this is the last one. Thanks for all the Magic videos you've done. They have definitely inspired me to play this game from casual to competitive. more power to you and your channel! :D
Smug is like the Lebron of the SF community. Now that he's getting a lot of recognition everyone's in that "He doesn't have a championship ring so he's not good yet!" mood. Even if you don't like Smug you gotta give him props for his potential. He's only just started, I hope he goes far!
It is always a pleasure watching Smug play and pull off some of the most insane tech possible in real matches. He's created a huge loyal following because of his unique playstyle and godlike execution; and he just continues to improve and gain more fans with time. And thanks to Yoga and MrDustkicka for the sick editing. It must have taken a lot of effort for such a compilation.
I don't know why but I don't see Smug as a technical kind of guy, I don't even know how he looks like or even saw anything posted by him, but I just can picture him going "Holy shit that was sweet" after finishing those mad combos. Props to him. Thanks for the awesome video, Yoga.
I know, man. I see a lot of videos of him but I never see him upload anything himself, just other people promoting him. I hope he goes far, he inspired me to use Dudley.
It's sad to think that the magic series is ending, but at the same time, it's still good to know that we'll still get to see smug wreck people on this channel ... Thanks yoga, for the crazy amount of uploads, and stuff like this. You are the at the top of the pack with what you do, and hopefully we'll get to see more content for a long time to come :3
Wtf! Duds has loop combos? My word! It's a beautiful sight when you incorporate a thorny red rose into combos that makes it worth watching every video of smug! Man! Best duds period!
I remember briefly playing Smug in 3rd Strike for the first time, and I thought, wow, what a fun character to play. Then years later, I picked up SF4, and of course, I started with Dudley. Then I found Smug, and now he pretty much blew my mind on what I could do with Dudley.
i actually thought you wasnt doing another one since its been such a long time since the last one. seeing this one made me think you was bringing it back. Non the less, Excellent play by Smug. never cease to amaze the people with his dudley play. GGs!
I've said this once. I love watching Smug because he is young and has great potential. But good lord his fan base is so immature. Whenever I see him play in tourneys on Twitch, people in chat cheer for Smug AND shit on his opponent which I can't stand. If Smug wins they still continue to shit on the other guy. However if Smug loses, all his fans just completely either not chat due to maybe shame or want to justify his loss. I'm also an Infiltration fan and I know many others are but we don't shit on his opponents like Smug's fans. We say gg if Infil's opponent wins or loses. That is why so many people call Smug's fans dickriders. And I can't blame them.
Are you serious lol? This is blatant bullshit. Stream monsters are the biggest trolls in the FGC. If you lose on stream you see nothing but "smug confirmed fraud" or "FRAY" shit like that spammed all over the chat lol. You're either bullshitting or you've seen some rare shit.
Aaron Johnson No no no. This happens ONLY when Smug is fighting. I've noticed that. And when Smug is done fighting they just chat about other things. The stream monsters I've noticed don't do it too often for my experience than Smug's fans.
Once again. I don't know if you're bullshitting or witnessed a once in a while event. But smug gets blown up everytime he loses. People in stream chat constantly calling him overrated and free saying he sucks etc. That's what stream monsters do they troll.
You must only watch Smug vs. Sanford matches. Most of the time when Smug loses it's vs. Zeus (which is happens quite a bit, so it's not that hype), and Art is pretty solid vs. him. He doesn't go to tourneys enough to see how fans react when he plays vs. other players, but he definitely brings in the hype at NLBC. If anything, the only reason why people watch NLBC is to see if Sanford gets salty about losing vs. him or Rico. I don't know...it's hard to compare Smug's wins vs. other people beating him because usually his wins are all one big exciting beatdown. When he loses it's from bad trades and him getting poked to death from not being able to get in. Not really exciting but he still gets shitted on
There's plenty of top players that has similar fanbase, like Daigo for example. Just ignore it, like what you like and Dudley on top play is hard to adjust on since not everybody respect Smug's play or simple let themselfes get hit like that.
Pie Smug, a monster ! Too bad that it's your final video, i really loved the magic series ! Hope it will come back if you want ! Thanks Yogaflame i love your channel !
Yoga i really appreciate your effort man. I once was a constant sf uploader for a year or so but it's too much and I'm taking a break right now. Uploading is too much work dude, the workload, i know it. And worst of all people shit on you saying that you steal videos and copypasta and shit. Spammers, haters and trolls you gonna deal with these people all day. I think you've been working since super is out huh? That's respect man.
Trust me I know exactly what you mean. It definitely is a lot of work, not really hard but extremely time consuming, finding replays then watching it twice over ( record ) and uploading matches of characrters that players main. Making montages without your editing tools playing up, also arranging set's ( 1st to 5 ) The truth is I am a nobody unlike the players who play at tournaments. Just a guy who enjoys uploading for the viewers like yourself.
its funny reading these comments lol. my two cents are....Smug clearly has a gift.....i mean idk if he plays nonstop or what, but.....to find out the things he does and to have the matchup, hitbox, safe/punish knowledge and impeccable link timing, that he does....you gotta either be a genius or just not do anything but experiment and play. The main example i am referencing is 4:24 against the Hugo. Now I am also a Dudley player and I think it is safe to say that me along with every other Dudley player out there, would never have even thought about doing a cross up unblockable jumping fierce on Hugo. It would never cross a normal dudley players mind because it just sounds dumb....it even looks dumb! But i guess Smug has that innate ability/creativity that is needed to play this game and whether he is a genius or the most dedicated player in sf, he gets the job done.
You are assuming that he comes up with this stuff by himself.. Im pretty sure he frequents SRK Dudley forums and r/SF4 where there are tons of excellent players (behrudy, 34, DykenSP, to name a few) sharing information 24/7. Not taking anything away from him, he is a legit beast, but lets not over hype this shit.
I actually played smug once on xbox live, i beat him one round with my thawk and then he bodied the shit out of me but replied back to my message saying good game and thanks for the compliment, cause i told him i was a fan, so that was nice of him.
Their lives? Really dude? It's just a fighting game. You win some, you lose some. The skill gap is much wider with some than there's. But at the end of the day, it's a hobby for fun and nothing more.
He's just never done pressing buttons... Coming from a fellow pad player whose execution is pretty bad, it's impressing that he can do these crazy combos with ease. Dudley is good in Ultra so this is his time. He has the next couple years to show us that his mind game is on par with his combo-ing. He is already a deadly player when he gets people in the corner. Wow.
Not pretty sure about all this hate on Smug. He has great pressure & reactions, winning with a low tier character against top player using top tier character. Is Smug the greatest ? Nope. Is Smug a Great Player ? Yep.
The music is the best part of this video. Smug's very impressive to watch, but not the best gauge of how to play a match of USF4 at a competitive level.
Top players always bring out the Top Haters. I love people trying to advise on how to beat Smug and how easy it is. I've seen him first hand wipe top players out and them scratching their heads not knowing what the F just happened. Momochi had to switch from Ken to Juri just to beat Smug and he only won by a sliver. Smug is no joke and if you think otherwise, put your money where your mouth is, and challenge him to a first to five, and have fun getting smoked. I've played Smug maybe 20 times and won 1 round. I'm glad I didn't make this video cause when I lost, I lost terribly.
