Heat. [Music] that out. Do you know anything? Oh, [Music] amazing. Welcome to the semifinals of the IHSM Super Smash Bros. DoubleA League. Uh my name is Dominic and with me today is a special guest, previous SSBU Cyber Tiger himself, Jordan Troyer. Hello, I'm Jordan Troyer. I was a previous uh esports player here at Bluffton. It's pretty cool. You went to state for two things for for Smash and for Tetris. Yeah, pretty much. Which two of our Cyber Tigers are going to state for. Mhm. Alrighty. So, today we got an exciting match between our varsity Cyber Tigers and the Purdue Polytenic High School in Eaglewood. They

002are the number four seed and we are the number one, but this will still be an intense match. We're playing with the best of the best here. Semifinals. Both teams are here at the end of bracket for a reason. Alrighty. Uh, so it looks like we're starting to get ready to start the match. Okay. I think Sam's going to be starting because I I heard I was talking to the coaches and the players. Typically, they start with Eli, but it seems like today we're going to be starting with Sam to like change up the strategy a little bit. Well, that's good. You definitely want to change up your strategy. Oh, wait. I might be wrong. Oh, no. Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay. Okay. So, it looks like we're starting with Eli and looks like they got

003a Falco ready to play. Okay. So, before we get started, our starting map is Small Battlefield and the loser of the first match gets to counter pick the stage for the second match and it's a best of three situation. Uh so, whoever wins twice moves on to the playoffs at state. So, going to be pretty exciting today. I'm pumped. I got this. Well, they got this. Our players tonight for the varsity are uh the captain aka Jaden aka Blue Jay Eli aka Exploded. Uh Sam aka Minion139. Tristan aka Trizy D. Izzy aka Rainbow Moonlight and Kamora aka Corblin. Alrighty. So why don't we talk a little bit about the rule set of this match? A 4v4 crew battle is basically when players from opposing teams take turns uh fighting in 1 v one matches with

004the winner of a match carrying their remaining stocks, which is their lives, to face the next member of the opposing team. Coaches must disclose with one another in private the fighter for the first player of each team in the set. And after a player lost has lost a game, they will be eliminated from that set. Mhm. Currently, we're just getting things uh like set up, make sure the match goes well. Um, we were having technical difficulties earlier at practice from what I noticed. Like there was like some really bad lag. So yeah, hopefully that doesn't occur today. Mhm. Granted, there were like 10 more people in the room on two TVs and like three switches, so there's like a lot more like like hogging up the Wi-Fi. Yeah. So look at that. putting in the

005password now for the uh for the private room. We're not going to disclose it. We don't want people getting in. But looks like we made the room and they are going to chat something. Oh, they're thinking. They're thinking. We don't we don't know what they're thinking. We can only go off of their like facial expressions. And according to them, edges don't scare them. Okay. Yeah, I I can testify to that. In Smash Bros. edges are very scary places, especially when your opponent on on the stage and you're trying to get back to ledge. Yeah. Oh man, it is terrifying. There's just some current setup difficulties. A Yep. Hopefully that these won't be there for like too long. Mhm. Also, after a player has won a game, they must continue playing the same fighter until they

006lose within that set within that set. Any stocks a player has lost must be relinquished at the beginning of the next game. They must do so by jumping off the edge of the map. Once a team has no remaining players, which means all four have been eliminated. Um, the opposing team will be considered the winner of that crew battle game. Okay, so we're trying to take all of the Oh, wait. There's three people in the room. Uh oh, that that is a little bit weird. I mean, it's usually just our school and our opponent. It could be um their schools like cuz what we do whenever we play Overwatch cuz I I'm I was on the Overwatch team. We would have um JMO, our coach, play on one of the monitors and they would they

007would be like our spectator for the Eaglewood. Oh, look. They are in the spectator stands. Okay. Yeah. So, yeah, that it's Yeah, that's what I was saying. Yeah. So, it's just for them to spectate for their stream. Oh, look. Oh, look at that. Bird boys here. ready to party. Oh boy. He believes in blue. You know what? Me, too. Oh, that rhyme. You know what else is blue? Our captain. That's right. He's a blue J specifically. Blue Jay. Yeah, that's right. It's his gamer tag. He isn't like blue in real life. Yeah. Unless he's a smurf underneath. Oh, wow. Eli's doing a dance. And Mhm. He's doing a little jig. Oh. Oh, he's changing the song. Is it gonna be Gangplank Gallion? Oh. Oh, he needs He needs his lock in music. Oh, no. No.

008King K roll ship deck too. Oh, Gangplank Galliant. He selected it. Okay, got that one right. Okay. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh, and they're going back to the music for some reason. They're going to the Kirby series now. I like the green greens one. That one's probably my favorite. Oh, King Diddy's theme. Okay. Oh, we are also joined here by uh Jason Mamoa from the Minecraft movie. Mhm. I personally didn't see that movie, actually. I didn't either. Mhm. My friends went without me. Yeah. And my little brother went without me. Seems to We seem to share a feeling there. They said they would invite me. All righty. There's Eli, Jaden, and Izzy. Mhm. Oh, and Oh, and the whole team. Corblin's here. Trizy's here. Sam's here. And Mr. Cook is in the background. And Tristan

009is covering his face for some reason. Covering Mr. Cook's face. Oh, well. Yeah. Look, looks like they're they're just discussing it, man. Disgusting. Are Are they ready? Jaden's dancing up for like two seconds. Don't know why he does that, but hey, if it's to get him hype, I'm not going to stand against it. Okay. Okay. Okay. They're getting real pumped up. They're real pumped up. Oh, boy. Oh, and the lights go. Lights off. This is This is what the Overwatch considers uh just lock in time. Time to be pro gamers. And as you can see on the whiteboard over there, we've been doing a lot of flipping research about this team. So, let's see if all that research was for a good cause. I mean, it was for a good cause. We're we're we're trying

010to win, you know, and I'm pretty sure that's a pretty good cause. And Tristan's drinking. That's pretty cool. I like I like uh drinking stuff. Like Dr. Pepper. Oh, I like Dr. Pepper a lot. That stuff's pretty good. Oh, wow. Eli. Eli is getting Oh, so is Tristan. Wow. So is Jaden. They're all getting jiggy. He's flossing in a chair. Wow. If for only like two seconds. Oh wow. Look at them go. They are dancing. Are they going to start? Yeah. They say, "Are they going to start? Will we start or nothing can stop having dance battles?" That's true. Oh wow. Tristan's head banging. Goodness. I I don't know if that's the best thing you want to do before your match. You know, you might get a headache from that. M it's tech for one

011of the esports players I found out if he plays a certain character and I shake his head he he gets like way better at aiming for some reason. What a like he'll play I'll go out behind him. I'll grab his head and I'll start moving it like left and right and he'll start hitting all his shots. Oh wow. That's insane. It's weird but it's funny. Mhm. Okay. I think No. No. I thought Jaden was going to stand up and give a motivational speech. Oh me too. Honestly, I haven't heard many motivational speeches in the esports room, you know. Yeah, they aren't starting so far. They're waiting so long that I had to come in here and say, " can we get like a We're not Oh, wait. We're not. You're wait. I had to come

012on here to Occupy Time to say hello. I'm going to say this is the captain. Uh, do you want to do like a pregame interview? Uh, sure. Sure, I guess. Cuz yeah, we we need something for for time, I guess. Yeah, I imagine it's very awkward in here just sitting here. We're just talking. I know. It's good. We were talking about how you guys were jamming out and then how we we had nothing to commentate. So Jordan commented on how Tristan took a drink of his water and I commentated on my favorite drink. So So yeah, that that's that's how like dry the commentary is in here. Sound riveting right about now. Yes. Yes. Yes. So what is No, just just in case there's a spy in the chat, I'm not going to ask what

013the game plan is. Um, what's how are you feeling about going to this match? I assume you've beat this team before. Yeah, we have faced this team before and we beat them in week three. The thing is they did not have their captain Jigglypuff player in that match. So, we will see how it goes this time. It's definitely going to be a harder fight. I think we're ready for it. I think we can do it. The pressure is on. Winner goes to state to face big bad Hobart with their PR player. Mhm. which it's like they've gotten better, but obviously since time has passed, you guys have also obviously gotten better in set time. I don't even Yes. I don't even know if they can really hear you. I just realized that cuz I am

014kind of far away from the mics. But you also Yeah. I don't Can y'all hear them? Uh if not, I I got a suggestion. Okay. All righty. So, I see the boy. I see the bird boy. I see you. Oh, you see your greatest fan. All right. That's not the new. Is that like your stalker with the ears? No, it's my it's my good friend. We watch Ruby together a lot. You know about Ruby? What you know about Ruby? I have I have seen the first few episodes of Ruby. Oh, you know about Ruby? I do know about Ruby with a W. Yes. I I don't. That show is a show. Look up Ruby. Spelled R WB Y. Yeah, it is a show. It is a show. Oh, it's it's decent. Like I haven't I

015haven't finished it, but I've gotten me and Bird Boy have gotten like a couple of episodes into season five by this point. We're losing our minds. Oh wow, that's insane. Wow. Hopefully you have the correct mindset for this game. Hopefully. Yeah, I haven't I haven't lost enough of my mind to, you know, get dropped off. Well, that's good. That's good. We don't want you going insane like minutes before the match cuz mindset is actually very important. All right. I'm I'm outing the uh Oh, show show your good luck charms. Outing the talk back my good luck charms. All right. I I use a lot of these for tributes to the people that mean a lot in my life. The ones that you know the ones I've gotten tributes from. I got this necklace from my

016good friend Sebie. We seem to be starting. I got this uh Pokemon card. I pulled it while I was with my sister and her fianceé Jesus. I got this uh bracelet from my dad and these Isabelle ears for me, baby. And we are starting right now. Go coach your team. Go help your team. Go help your team. Go help your team. We can do it. You could tell they're enthusiastic about this. We're starting with Oh, look. They are fighting. Falco hitting some really I I I think that was I don't I don't play Smash a lot. I play different like platforming fighting games such as Brahalla. So sending out Gordos. He got hit by it. What the heck? Spits him out. All right. Parrying is happens to be very good, you know. Oh, boy. Fighting

017in the air. Oh, big hit. Big hit. Big back here. Oh, I forgot you get Oh, with the forwards match. Wow. Or that's the first stalk. Wow. Did not expect it to go away that fast. Wow. Granted, Eli does always hit some very heavy hits on um King DDD. I think that's his name. Yeah, he plays King DDD. Mhm. Is he getting back to the stage? Oh, he does get back to the stage. Yeah, that super armor through his upy. Oo, it's a pain to deal with. Oh, he almost hit him into the spike. Oh, but he does hit gets him with the back hit box. Ups. Oh, wow. Up special doesn't end up working. All right, shield the forward air. Punish it. That's good. He Oh, he he sends back the spike. Oh, get

018the stock off Eli with a nice air combo. Holy canoli and then up tilt and a back air. He's about one hit away from death from just one heavy hit. Oh. Oh. Oh, a forward air and up tilt. What the heck? Up tilt into up airs. He's using combos. Wow. He's a gamer. He's a gamer, ladies and gentlemen. Mhm. All right. Using a forward tilt to space him out. Punch lies forward smash. He tries landing with a neutral air. Doesn't end up working. Oh, man. A lot of a lot of King DDD's moves have a lot of lag, so he's got to be very selective about lag to them. Huh? like end lag to them. Yeah, lots of end lag. So, lot big punish windows if he misses. Oh, he does miss the belly flop,

019but he still does get the kill. Now, let's just see how much damage he could take. Best case scenario, Eli. Oh, Eli just Oh, kills him the stock. Oh, okay. He gets back. Oh, cutting him into give him damage. Hopefully. Mhm. Hopefully, he can get a lot of damage or better yet, just not lose his stock at all. Oh. Oh, there you go. That's a big hit and an up air, too. Quite disjointed that up air is. Oh, wow. He covered the top of Falco with his Gordo and the left of Falco with his uh with his neutral special. He's He's very intelligent player. He's thinking in five dimensions at this point. See? So Oh, he he does get the recovery. Mhm. He's up to 200%. Falco just can't get He's just one tiny touch

020away from death. Oh gosh. But the Falco was also one just heavy hit away from dying as well. And Eli knows how Oh, he I was going to say he knew how close he was to death. He was using a lot of dodges being very selective with his moves. Ooh, up tilts into up air. He loves that combo. Yep. But Eli with an up tilt of his own and a forward tilt and a dash attack. Let's see. Can he Can he Can he edge guard? Ooh. Oh, wait. Oh. Oh, wait. Oh, let's see if he gets the edge guard. Sends out a Gordo. charging up. Oh. Oh, he barely misses. He didn't even turn it around. Oh, but a forward. That's good. That's good. Sending a Gordo off, but Falco reflecting it. Oh. Oh. Oh.

021Misses the sidebe, I think. I don't Would that be correct or is that like No, that would be a forward smash when he brings his hammers. Okay. Oh, boy. Is B like the light attack and then smash like the like heavy signature? B is your heavy signature attacks. Well, your signature attacks, they they're sometimes heavy, sometimes not. And then You know, you know what I mean? Like just like the more powerful attack. Oh. Oh, there you go. Yes. Oh, wait, wait, wait. What? Yeah. Wait. Why are we down at down to nine? They should be down. Yeah, it might just be a little just mishap in Goodness gracious. There we go. Okay. All right. Eli's very happy with that shaking his head. Probably for a good reason, I guess. I mean, like when I win

022a match, I sometimes shake my head. Alrighty. Good job. Good job, Eli. I'm very, very proud of him. Let's see what they send out against Eli in this. Imagine if they send out a nest. That'd be pretty cool. He played Ness. I If if you can't tell. Oh. Oh, I just real I forgot your Nest was on your shirt or sweatshirt. You had the custom Jordan merch. Not for sale yet. Not for sale yet. Keyword yet. Mhm. Alrighty. So, they are they are just um they're just I guess trying to think about what they're gonna send out. I guess they weren't expecting the penguin. They were not. But Eli is only is down to one stock. But what I know from Eli is even on his last stock, he's still fighting. He's still fighting. He's

023like the same he has the same amount of uh the same amount of oomph to his moves than if he didn't, I guess, than if he had three stocks. Mhm. All righty. They They're back in the ring and they're sending out zombie. Oh boy. Is that just like a skin for Steve? Yes. I thought Steve was banned. Not anymore. Oh, it's is just like doing the autokill tech band probably. I'm not sure. Okay. All right. Eli self-destructing because he lost two stucks. Could you explain to the viewers, I guess me, what like the Steve like autokill tech is? Uh, basically from what I know of it, I'm not that much of a Steve player, but basically with a um or was it he goes invincible? It was I it was either auto kill or like

024he just can't die. That's all I remember. I thought it was the fact that he broke shields really quickly with anvil. I'm not sure. Oh boy, he's got a crafting table and building a wall. Wow. Mine cart. Putting putting King DDD in a minecart. Wow. Now he's mining it up. Oh, and a Ford air and a Ford special. Okay. I'm pretty sure Eli does have a little bit of experience fighting Steve because Lucas, who was here uh last year for a bit, he also played Steve. H Mhm. So maybe he can use some of that experience. It was from a while ago, but Oh well. Tries to force tilt the anvil. Don't you shouldn't do that. That was Oh, he jumps on Steve's head. Mhm. Gets the magma block. Up special. Oh no, no, no.

025Up special. Oh, gets hit by the minecart. Oh, but he survives. He survives. Trying to read a minecart by inhaling. Oh. Oh, nope. Nope. He won't die from that. Side can't get touched. Dodging. Oh, boy. Oh. Oh, that that is game. Unfortunately, he did have to only work with one stock. And yeah. Mhm. Quite sad. Ah. And Steve eats uh eats some beef. Yeah. I think our team's got beef with him now. Oh boy. Alrighty. All right. So, who do you think on our team can handle a Steve? Um, Tristan. Sam. Tristan or Sam. I feel I feel like those would be good against Steve, but we'll we will see. We will see who gets the who they get. Who gets the controller next? Who will get it? Looks like Sam Sam's going up to

026play. Oh boy. Here we go. That was one of my predictions. All righty. Okay. Playing uh yellow and black king K rule. I don't really know if that's a reference to anything or if it's just a Smash original. I'm not sure. Okay. Here's to a good fight. At least he's at least he um at least he has good morals about this situation. Yeah. Yeah. So, King K Rule does have a counter. So, if Steve does try to send his mine cart or his anvil out, he can just counter it. Yeah. Mhm. Oh, sending it in. Sending into his bus. He does almost hit him with the crown on the mine cart. That would have been a very devastating dash attack. Oh, but shields doing up airs. Oh, on but it ain't that good on shield.

027Now he's mining some more materials. sending out a minecart. Sam dodging that with great valor hitting an up air. Steve getting back to the platform, but Sam joins in on it. Joins on it with him. Oh, there's a down tilt and an up smash. What? How did that not kill? Is that like 100%. I think it depends like I guess like is it like a sweet spot sour spot situation? It could be. It could just be like since Steve has been banned for like the majority of like just e like as long as like we've had the esports program, people don't really know how to like people's I guess like only experience with Steve would just be playing him in like random ranked or like quick matches. But like playing him like an actual like

028competitive setting like this is like very Mhm. Like we we've rarely done like we don't know like what like his like kill ranges are I guess. Mhm. Meanwhile, Steve Gang the first kill, but then Sam coming swiftly with another kill. So, we are even. We're resetting. We are even. Mhm. All right. The dash attack dodging out of the way. Mhm. Dang. Steve is using a lot of these up airs, a lot of these aerials. Wow. Doing four tilts on shield before grabbing and for throwing. Oh, Sam hitting it on the ledge again. Wow. He's got to go get his crown. But now Steve has it and he drops it, but he misses Sam. But Sam getting back to the ledge, which is good. Goes goes to the edge. Oh, gets hit by the anvil, knocking

029him up. But Steve doesn't really capitalize on that. Build a wall. Just get more materials. Mhm. Just getting more materials. Oh, he gets a diamond. I don't I don't know what he gets with the diamond. He gets better like he gets better tools, which are his aerials, his smash attacks. Oh, so it's just like he just overall just becomes like stronger. Uh-huh. Okay, that makes sense. But it does send off more does. Oh, he runs under the anvil. Sam bursting into laughter. Oh boy. As TK Rule stalks first. Well, one of his stocks first. Oh, and a forward tilt and a neutral special. Oh, Steve dodging that. Wow. With the elytra. Oh, and doing tilt. Let's see. Oh, he hits him with the minecart. Can you hit him with up? Nope. Oh, does does a

030forward throw? I think mine cart hits him. It's with a side side air side special. Oh, okay. Trying to get off this platform. Okay, get the Steve. He can't. This is definitely He can most definitely come this back. Make this comeback cuz I'm pretty sure Cuz I'm pretty sure since King K will waste so much. Uh the Steve is going to have to put on a lot of damage to get him. Did he just downgrade or do his tools just like last a certain amount of time? Cuz he went from diamond to iron. Okay, that makes sense. And also when your character dies, you um you reset back to wooden tools. Unless you have like a diamond or gold in your inventory, then you can just use that. Okay. With redstone, does that like make

031him get um like more minecart or No, mine cart is iron. Oh, I don't use redstone that much when I play Steve. What What does the redstone do with your down special? You can use it to make TNT with a pressure plate. Okay. It's pretty cool. Anyways, Sam winning against the Steve, knocking him out. Good job to Sam. Alrighty. That was a nailbiter. That was a nailbiter. All righty. But before we continue to the next match, I do want to shout out one of our absolutely lovely sponsors, which is on this page. All right. So, do you, Dominic, I got a question for you. Do you have a favorite nonprofit that could use an awesome fundraising idea? I do not. Oh, well, if you do, Auctionit is an online per and in-person auction platform that

032can help your nonprofit host a great charity auction. Find out more at auctionit.io. That's a u t iio nit.io. Here we go. Yep. So, thank you to Auctionit for sponsoring us. Oh, it's the it's the Captain Jiggly. According to Bird Boy, it's just it's like a sweet it's just a sweet sour spot with uh like Sam not killing up smash. Yeah, the up smash. Okay. Okay. So, our theory was correct. That's a good feeling. Your theory was correct, but I I have no clue. Okay. All right. Sam jumping off twice. Okay. And All right. Fast blowing. Okay. I'm pretty sure Jigglypuff's going to use a plenty of rests. Oh boy. And rest is basically your down be. when she when she hit when she is in close proximity to you and hits her down be

033it does a lot of damage and a lot of knock back allowing you to kill it like 30 or 40%. Pretty freaking crazy if you could land it. Insane. Unfortunately, if you miss you fall asleep so it's risk and reward. So I don't know if they're going to use it or not. I in this situation I personally wouldn't because since King K rules a heavy character with that's also like a semi-zoner. It's just not that optimal to I guess like go for such a close-range attack that could put me to sleep. I guess that's fair. Wow. And and Jigglypuff is certainly living up to being a balloon Pokemon. She's using so many aerials. Oh, he ran in. Oh, and Oh, wow. And hit the rest. Golly. Oh my god. She freaking cooked him. Deep fried

034him, too. Oh, and just add insult. She's sleeping on the wind screen. Wow. Okay. And that just goes to show how precious your stocks are. So, it appears that they're sending out Jaden to deal with the Jigglypuff. Oh boy. Yeah. So, I did notice that the Jigglypuff was using quite a few aerial spending a lot of time off the off the ground, you know, the air, which I believe, if I'm if I'm correct, Isabelle is really good at like kind of like getting people out of the air and like is really good in aerial combat. All righty. Well, I'm excited for it. Mhm. All right. Jaden looks relatively confident in this. So, all right. Here we go. Captain plan. Yep. Captain V. Captain, here we go. All righty. All right. Jigglypuff versus Isabelle. Here we

035go. All right. No jumping off required for this round. Here we go. And we're once again even stalks. Wow. All right. Sending off forwards. Planting a landmine over there just in case. Jigglypuff wants to try and hit Jaden. Ooh, okay. Jigglypuff is trying to destroy the land by by using the down arrow. Okay, I think that works better than what I tried to do with Nest. All righty, sending it off. Oh, almost falling on top of the land mine. Dodging literally everything Jaden is throwing out from the order to the fishing rod, but the down special hits and a back air to go with it. Wow. Yeah, the closer the closer Jaden is with his slingshot pellets, the more damage that they do. Let's see if uh Oh my. What's the I'm trying to think

036of the name of the the rocket. The the Lloyd. Lloyd. Yes. Yes. The Lloyd. Otherwise known as the urinal because dogs pee on uh fire hydrants and it looks like a fire hydrant. All right. Sending up another Lloyd. Let's see. Oh, they do guard the uh the fishing hook, fishing rod, whatever. Oh, sending out shield quite a bit. Oh, there throws him up. Zero to death as well. Jeez Louise. Oh my goodness. Jaden bringing his aame. Wow. This just shows why he's the captain. He's just always locked in. Lloyd Rocket and Turnips. What the heck? He is going crazy. And another fishing rod and a forward air to go with it. He's just sending out all these projectiles. Jigglypuff don't know what to do. Oh, get hit with it again. Fishing rod and a forward

037air. Edge guarding really well. Oh, and Oh, and there's a void. First hit of the match. Let's see. One fishing rod could be fatal here. Uh-huh. Especially with how light Jigglypuff is. Cuz while she has amazing air mobility, with how um with how freaking Oh my gosh. with how mobile she is in the air with how light she is. Uh that also means that she dies relatively quickly. Mhm. Oh, sending out a sidebe in midair. Golly, I don't know why they would do that. But then again, I don't play Jigglypuff, so who knows? Doing an uptilt into an up air, but Jigglypuff's definitely spending their time on the above the ground. They have a lot of jump, so they they can spend a lot more time in the air than Jaden can. Setting up another.

038Oh, Jane's going to have to send him on the edge. Keep his wits. Oh, boy. Here we go. Oh, there is a Lloyd. Tries to break it with the down air. Doesn't work. Oh, but hits it. Oh. Oh, almost almost gets the Lloyd. If he if Jaden gets a fishing rod on the platform, they're dead. Okay. Sending down another Lloyd rocket. Shielding not only to protect himself, but to protect the Lloyd rocket. That was pretty smart of him. All right. Doing another forward air and another forward air. Sending him out. Okay. Okay. Neutral air. Sending up the Lloyd. Just keeping him just on his just on his toes. Oh boy. Doing a down air. Trying to spike him. Trying to snuff out the flame. Oh. Oh, the the Lloyd did stun him just for that

039small period of time for him to get the kill. Mhm. I think that was a neutral air. All right. Up tilt into neutral air. Quite quite powerful. And you guys can see and another upill into up. Jeez. Over over there. I think I I'm pointing in the right direction. Jaden is locked in like he's just locked in. Just stonefaced lock in right there. Yeah. Past him and the icons. All righty. Sending out a variety of moves. Okay. Jaden's barely gotten hit this game. And another down air. I feel like that got hit twice. Two or three times. I feel like that first stalk he got on kind of just messed with Jigglypuff's mind. like just like demoralize them. Yeah. It's just like just not getting hits until like halfway through your second stock is just

040it's just brutal. Yeah. For the mental. Mhm. Oh boy. Oh, trying to keep trying to get a hit on Jaden. But there but this fishing rod is just so powerful. He gets the kill. He just just the restocking. Headbanging as well. Lots of lots of applause coming from the other room. And who could blame them? That was crazy. Goodness gracious. Jaden asserting his dominance. Who's this person? Who's that person? Manurva. Yeah, I have no clue who they are. I'm not sure, but thanks for checking out the stream. Oh boy. Okay. Well, who are they going to send out now? From what I know, they don't have a nest on their team, but it'd be cool if they had one anyways. I don't think I think their last character is like either a 10. Um. Oh,

041Mega Man. Oh, wow. Mega Man. Okay, here we go. Jaden, you need to press the A button. Okay, you pressed the A button. Good for him. All righty. Loading it up. All right. Isabelle versus Mega Man. No jumping off the stage needed. All righty. Okay. All right. Doing a dash tag a forward air and playing. We are next in the lead. We We have two players compared to the one. Mhm. Oh, look at that. Launching. I didn't realize he placed that Lloyd there. Mhm. And another Lloyd. Where is he placing these? All right. He placed one there. He placed one there. I I noticed that one. You might. So, we got to keep an eye on that. Oh, don't you run over that mega man. You You don't do that. He gets hit by it.

042Oh my goodness. He wasn't even on top of it. Jeez, that hit box. Oh, does a forward smash, down smash. Almost. Oh my goodness. The edge guard of the century. Full glaze. Oh my goodness. He is going crazy. All right. All right. Dash attack. Dash attack again into a forward air and a down air again. He's dead. Oh, he's dead. He just he I think he might have saved Jaden. He sticks his tongue out like a little freak. I just realized that. Mhm. But the Mega Man dodges the uptil up air combo that has been going really well. Well, the up air and neutral air. Oh, a grab. That's the first grab Jay's done. And more down airs. He almost hits the the down special. Mhm. And one thing we haven't seen Jada do is

043pocket. Cuz with his neutral special, he could take any one. Yeah, I think he just did that. He could take any one of Oh, look at that. He put that blade in his pocket and now he has it again. Oh, throws it. Oh, Mega Man has it now. Is he Oh, dropping it on ledge. Oh, just runs right past it. Okay, I guess you just ignore the blades on the stage. Okay, and another up air. He's just keeping him in the air. Oh, and the neutral air. Whoa. And then up air. Jeez Louise. Blocks the blade. Almost hits him with a bug net. Misses the grab. Okay. Okay. Sending off quite a few projectiles. Goodness. Okay. Oh. Oh, a back throw. Oh, he pockets it. Let's see. He pockets it. That's why you will that

044be his demise. Oh, no. Mega Man just picks it up. Mega Man just picks it up and throws it. He He doesn't capitalize off the stun, though. He doesn't. Oh, but he does. Oh, let's see if Oh, almost goes for a suicide. He transferred it. He shot it onto Jade and then the Lloyd kills the It doesn't kill. It doesn't kill. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Nope. Okay, they do grab the light. There's a Lloyd on the on the edge. Oh. Oh, get the water bucket. Release. How do you take out a robot? You douse it in water. Backto back three stock. This just shows just how good of a player he is. Jaden is just going crazy, I tell you. And that's our first round done. And you know how I want to celebrate this

045first round victory? By shouting out one of our amazing sponsors, the Moose Garage. So, special thanks to the Moose to the Moose in Wells County. Check out the garage here in town on Main Street. It's a cafe/game room/music venue for the youth of Bluton to hang out. And let me tell you, I've been there to that music venue. Oh my goodness. When you sing on that stage, where is he? It is absolutely gorgeous. My rendition of Halo is unmatched. We have Mr. Smith aka my Overwatch coat in the chat. I can't listen. Oh, there's there's one of the JV players. Oh, wow. They're going crazy over here. All right, they're sending out Trizy as their first player for this round. Are they um are they counterpicking the stage? It doesn't look like they've changed it

046yet. Or maybe they just have been Oh. Uh oh, they're changing the stage. What do we got? Final destination. Oh, they they scrolled over it. They're being sneaky about They're looking around. They're like, "Okay, what's going on?" Looking around. They don't know what to do. Oh my. Well, what would you do in this situation if you were the opponents? Um, pick what map I feel like I play most comfortably on and just know the best. H, that's a that's a good idea. That's a good idea. Maybe play on PS2. That one's that one at least looks pretty cool. Mhm. Okay. So, they're thinking about it. They don't they don't really know. They're like in the esports room. They're just sitting there, you know. They're probably discussing over some strategies. Coaches are just walking around. I

047guess we got a door being opened and people going through the door that have been that has been opened. It's JV members here to to talk to us. That's crazy. JV and Varsity subs. What's good? Hello. Welcome. Welcome. This guy gave me this guy gave me the Nether earlier. The one that gave him this. He is courtesy. Thank you for Thanks to him. We We have Jason Mimoa. Um Aquaman. Aquaman on the stream with us. Oh, well that's good. Amazing. [Music] Oh, he is. Got you gota put it like to the side. Yeah. Oh, you just you almost you just broke his house. No, no. There we go. It's a cool little stage for him. Oh, yes. Perfect. There we go. So, why are you guys here? What do you want to talk about? How

048was the Jiggy Puff getting scared? He's asking us. You're asking us? Uh, we weren't there. Well, we weren't playing the game, I guess. But is that scary? Okay. Oh, yeah. He is about 23%. Yeah. 23.4. I seen that. Yeah. It was insane. Oh, wow. They're gurring at them. We got a snake. Oh, boy. It's the character I've played three times. Mhm. Three. I've played I've played Smash about that many times. Oh, well, you do surprisingly well for that. Oh, boy. I'll win this time. He says, "Okay." Well, of course. Jayen stopped playing. Not to cut Trizy short. Yeah. Yeah. J stopped taking all the kills. Mhm. Ah, doing some jabs on the shield. All right. Yeah. Snake and Link both have a wide projectiles. Mhm. Although Link just lost one. He lost one of his

049projectiles. Now he can't use it. Yeah. I mean, he's like a war veteran, so let's go. support our team. They're going to they're going to go be good teammates like losers. Oh boy. Launching them around. Oh, but an uptilt. Sending things into whatever that fortress is. I've never played uh uh what is it called? Kingdom Hearts. That's it. Oh, in Hollow Bastion. That's the stage, by the way. Hollow Bastion. One main plat platform in the middle that doesn't move. And uh kind of a weird stage shape, you know, other than it being flat, but like on the side, it's got a weird form to it. Yeah. All righty. Snake getting pretty high up there in the percentages. Oh boy. He keeps getting really good deflects. Mhm. Gets the boomerang. Link using plenty of shields. Plenty

050of shields to dodge all these. Tried to go down with a down air, but the up tilt from Snake goes through the platform. Oh, okay. He barely gets to the ledge. It's at a very high percent, but so is Snake. So just one good hit can send one of these guys up. Ooh, and Link just hit the grenade and hit some more landmines. Oh boy. Oh, go tries to go for a forward smash, but Snake reading right through it. Snake is getting a lot of mileage out of these up airs. Nice up. Oh, and a side special not killing. Sending another one. I feel like he hit the side special with this boomerang. Wow. I I feel like the snake definitely could have killed there cuz like Link was right here on this side of

051the stage and he whooped it around and hit him this way away from where he was going to die if that makes sense. Mhm. So, oh my goodness. All right, Link's already down to one stock. Let's see if he can get Let's see if he can get three on Snake. Okay, gets a forward tilt. That's good. That's what Tristan needs. He's got the momentum. Time to capitalize upon it. All right, hits the side B. Sending out another sidebe. Not hitting cuz Stank shielded. He used the same move twice in a row. Okay. Oh boy. Used a grenade to blow up Link's bomb. Sending out another bomb, but missing with it. It's just projectile after projectile. They're just trying to see what sticks. Throwing projectiles at each other and stealing what sticks. Goes for a down

052air but shields and up airs him while he gets behind him. Oh, he uses some type of super armor to I guess like get hit by the first move apparently. So, okay. Rolling around at the speed of sound. Okay. See, can Tristan get another stock? Oh, does a down air. Goes for an up smash. Oh, left him vulnerable. Does an up air and another up tilt. Sneak getting blown up by his own bomb. And Tristan. Let's see if Tristan can say, "Oh." Oh my goodness. Just barely out of the hit box. Almost almost hit the greatest link combo in the world. Wow. Let's see how well he can target, but he shields it. Okay, the snake is so quick. Oh, he he destroys the rocket. Rolls on the stage and hits a nuclear. Sends out

053the bow. Oh, he just barely bro block blocks the boomerang. Sends out a bow. Sends out a bowarang. He's just he's Oh, the missile hits him. Yeah, he's just he was just spamming on the edge just trying to make sure he doesn't get there, which it's just I mean, the more projectiles, the harder it is to get back to ledge. Yeah, there's really nothing you can do about it. Uh Tristan did at least take off a stock. Mhm. That That's good. You know, it's it's better than getting three stock. It's definitely better than getting three stocked. I would I would definitely say. All righty. All righty. So, who do you think they're going to pick for Snake? I feel like Nest would be a good option cuz he can side magnet all the bombs. Can

054you? Yeah, cuz he could he could just like eat most the projectiles with the suck move, right? Yeah. Yeah, but with how fast Snake uh throws out his projectiles, let's hope uh Eli has enough time to eat them all. Yeah, cuz I think he can only handle one projectile at a time despite how big KBD's mouth is. Which granted, we had another Cyber Tiger last year who did play Snake, so they definitely do have a lot of experience in like counter matchups against Snake. So, that's true. That's true. Oh, we miss Noah. We do. He's in the military now. He's doing a great deed for our country. Oh, yes. Very great deeds. Very great. Okay, Snake jumping off the ledge and jabbing. I guess that's how he taunts by showing how fast he can punch.

055Oh wow, Eli already having uh 7% on him now. 17. Goodness gracious. And a grab too. Goodness gracious. They are setting them. At the very least, if Eli can get hit multiple times, but he could just make back the damage within a small amount of hits because just how heavy King DDD can just deal damage. He just It's insane. Mhm. Up. Smash is shielded. A dash attack is shielded. Like like that one that one dash did like 80 to 90% of snake shield. Mhm. Little forward special. Pretty crazy. Yeah. We just got to see how well up tilt they play against the snake. Forward smash. Oh, it just barely misses it. Up air. Does that kill? Nope. Doesn't kill. And another up air. This that should kill. All righty. Good job, Eli. If you can

056take this next stalk, that would be perfect. Yeah, then we'd be back on back at square one, which is pretty good. Okay, tries for an up air. Oh boy. But he keeps getting interrupted by these bombs. He keeps throwing out these hit boxes, but they just explode the bombs. Goodness. He's parried the Gordo. Goodness. Yes. Goodness. Goodness. Grace chess. Oh. Oh, an up tilt sending sending King DDD to the top last zone. crack a little bit. We do still have Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. They're going crazy in there. See, he is within killer range. Does that kill? Does that kill? It kills. Ah, got a JB3. Mhm. Mhm. All right. Not too shabby from Eli. So now we're one stock down in the second round. So even if we lose this round, we

057got another one to go. So, but that does not mean we do not bring our best cuz we do la ch chicken. [Music] Mhm. Allighty. I wonder who they're going to bring out now. Do you think they Well, uh maybe it's just wishful thinking to think they'll bring out a mess. Another quick shout out. Um huge and final shout out to our local internet provider Adams Wells Internet Telecom and TV. They are pretty much some of the main people responsible for our high quality internet here at the esports program. Um, that's how we're able to compete with other schools with their incredibly fast and reliable um, fiber internet service. If you are in the market for internet or just wanting to upgrade your internet at your house, um, TV or phone services, check out adamswwells.com.

058That is adamswwells.com. That is adamswwells.com. Oh, Eli jumping off. And they're sending they're sending out the Jigglypuff. I mean, Jigglypuff kind of looks similar to Kirby. I know they have different play styles, but let's see if Eli can take it cuz we were kind of discussing on how we think I think. I don't I have super bad memory right now. I'm tired. Um All right. Sending out a lot of aerials since King DDD is so big. He's got qu she's got quite a lot of room to work with with any of her aerials. Oh, using a forward air. Using a lot of shielding to get those Gordos out of the way. That's something I usually don't do when I play against Eli. It's a really nice What is the spike called? Gordo. Yes. Okay. That's

059what context people. So, it's a normal normal air. Oh, boy. Up special. There we go. Tries for a neutral air. Doesn't end up working. Goes for a down special. Walks close to him. He's taking damage. He's taking Oh, miss it. Just gives them free damage. But Jigglypuff doesn't It was high risk, high reward. Yeah. Does the more damage you take from that, does that just like increase the power or is that just a drawback of holding it? I think it's a combination of both. They don't want you to hold it that long. I mean, I don't think it gets that much more powerful. I don't think he even needs that much power to kill to kill a jig. It's just It's just to be safe for like if it hits you're just dead and there's

060nothing to do about it. Which Eli does take a stock off. Oh wow. I think he started to taunt there. I'm not sure. King DDD changed his positioning a little bit. I'm not sure. All right. Sending out more go Gordos to protect him. He's got like a lot of flipping Gordos here. And according to Eli, he really likes Gordos. And I think that's clear to see in his gameplay. saying a Gordo off the ledge before sucking it up to shoot it at uh Jigglypuff, but to know if a forward special and a forward air forward tilt and more. Jeez, triple roll. Wow. Let's see if Eli can just take this jiggly puff down to their last stock. Um so far, I feel like their snake was probably their best player. Well, to be fair, their

061snake didn't go against Jaden. Yeah, they didn't go against Shaden. They had like I guess an unfair match against Oh, you're going to rest. You're going to rest. Oh, but it doesn't kill. Oh, yeah. That's That one has a deceptively longiz. He tried. Oh, and another rest. Okay. Don't worry. Does King DDD always have that flower on his head or is that just like a map thing? I I just realized he had like a flower on his head. That only happens when Jigglypuff hits her rest move. Okay. And what that does is basically poisons him cuz the roots of the flower seep into your brain and hurt you from the inside out. I don't recall that ever being in the Pokemon anime nor in any of the games. That's true. But it it's primarily from

062uh lips stick, which is basically a flower item you can use in the game, which I'm pretty sure is from a different game. I'm not sure which game it's from, though. I can't believe I can't believe Nintendo, the company who made Pokemon, didn't make the Pokemon, one of the Pokemon Pokemon accurate. It happens, you know. La. All right. Sister sending out Isabelle for the Jigglypuff. Here we go. Okay. I wonder what this Jigglypuff thinks. It just did really well against Eli. And now it's facing the person who it only got like three hits on last time. Well, since well, since Jigglypuff got all those KOs last time, they're probably in a really good headsp space now. Look at that. Already 12%. Or Jaden, he could be coming into this overconfident, which that's that's not like

063Jaden to just if if he beats one person one time, he's not just going to go into the next thing super cocky and overconfident being like, "Oh, this person did not pretty much nothing to me last time." which as you can see like they're definitely doing already like way better than what they did last time on their first stop. It might be the stage too cuz instead of having cuz instead of having two platforms instead of having two platforms, it's just one big platform to do stuff with, you know. Oh boy. Does a forward air, but Jaden returning with a forward air of his own. Oh, doing some back airs to try and zone him out. Okay. Down airs too. All righty. Yeah, the pellets are quite small, but he can also fire them out

064at a really fast rate, so they can pack up your damage real quick. Okay, using his upbeat. All right, getting back to stage. That's good. As was stated previously, edges don't scare him. He's still fighting as confident as he was last time. Oh, connect. See if Jaden can take if Jaden three stocks that's perfect cuz then he can go into the next um round pretty much just fresh. Mhm. Granted, Jaden will also do amazing with two stocks. It's just a bigger safety net if he has three. Mhm. That means he can if need be like he has more room to operate, you know. Yeah. He can he can play a bit more risky. Mhm. That's definitely the case, you know, like like the more stocks you lose, you know, the more safe you're going to

065play, you know, because you're that much closer to death. Yeah. Mhm. Okay. Shielding quite often. Just using these boards, not going too much into Jigglypuff, you know, respecting your space, you know, cuz those aerials that Jigglypuff has are pretty pretty big, you know, pretty big. So, trying to trying to stay away, you know, trying to stay away, fire projectiles, trying to make Jigglypuff dash attack towards him. All right. Is he going to plant a landline soon? There isn't one on the board. Okay. Up special. Okay. NFB. Jaden can go around the stage, you know, like go under the stage. Oh, wait. Wait. Does that kill? Does that get Jaden? He gets the three stock. Goodness gracious. He does so many cool things. It's just It's just so much. Let's see. Okay. Who do you think

066they're going to bring up next? So, we have our two players versus their two players. They might bring out the Terry that I think they have. They might bring out the Terry because the Terry doesn't really have that many things that Isabelle can pocket. Not to mention, he has a lot of different movement options like his crack and his power dunk, you know, can maneuver around can. Yeah, he can maneuver around uh Isabelle's flipping Isabelle's Oh, boy. You weren't lying when you said you were tired. around Isabelle's projectiles, like her slingshot. All right, it's my goat. Wow. Okay, I'm going to fix Jason Mimoa real quick. Okay, you fix Jason Mimoa real quick. All right, they're still selecting. They're taking a lot of time to think about this. I guess that makes sense. Okay, to

067the other side. Like this. There it is. Yeah. And maybe if you put it high enough, it'll appear like when we're commentating, it's Pokemon trainer here to here to potentially take out Jaden. I wonder what that what's wrong with that Ivy sword. It's not shiny. That's not what the shiny looks like. It has a disease. He needs to be sued. That Ivy swore is not shiny. Unless it's like an omega shiny. That's super super rare. Oh no. All right. Immediately pocketing a razor leaf. Jeez Louise. Sending it back. Why don't the characters just like throw Pokemon trainer off the stage? Cuz then the Pokemon just don't know what to do. That's unethical. Yes. However, state title that my counterargument is is the state championship. Mhm. So like either that or just hold him hostage to

068the Pokemon. N against the rules. And besides, they can't move there. They're only stuck to a 2D plane. They can't go back there to hit him. I mean, they're they're 3D enough to the point where they can move right there to that point. Well, there's a reason they haven't. They're not able to and not allowed to. Or they're just scared. Yeah. Yeah. Who knows what could be on the that the front or back of the stage. We're just going to stay on the left and right. We know that's safe. All right. Oh my goodness. Did a down throw to forward there Eric. Jeez Louise, man. They really like using this Ivysur in neutral air. Ivy Sword does have one of the one of my favorite spikes in the game. Tries to pull him over the

069Lloyd, but misses. Tries to use a back air to destroy the Lloyd, but doesn't end up doing that. Is he going to use his upbeat? Yes, he does to get back to ledge. Wow. Who would have guessed? Using your up special, which takes you up to get to the ledge, which is up. Goodness gracious. Okay. All right. Sending off a lot a lot of a lot of things, you know, destroying all the landmines in his path and trying to respect Jaden's distance. Mhm. Oh, grabs gives him a little time and then back throws him off to to the left. Don't know. Oh, and an ups and an ups. Oh, jeez. Sending him into that cog. Oh, hopefully the cog's okay. Let's see. So, Jaden currently still has three stocks and he still he seems this

070Pokemon Trader seems to primarily use Ivysaur. Yeah, that's not to say they they haven't shown. Who do you think is like the best in the Pokemon trio that the Pokemon trainer has? Probably Charizard. Like genuinely. Yes. I mean, they took out the other two for Smash 4. He's got to be the best. Oh my goodness. Thatur has such a good recovery. That fly whip is crazy. It has a lot of range and it's it's effectively instant. So, it's like you can't really counter it. Mhm. All righty. Oh, looks like we got a Terry expert in the chat. That's pretty cool. I play Terry on occasion. Not that much. All righty. Sending him off to the right side and sending out the fishing rod trying to catch him out of his vine whip. If he did

071hit If he did hit Ibysur when he was like in that hanging animation, it would have connected. Doing a lot of forers. Jaden trying to be really careful because Isabelle has the same kill. It doesn't take much to take that stock. Double three stock. Goodness gracious. Can he get the triple? Can he get the triple? I believe he can. Can he get the triple? This is going to This will also be for State. This will all also be for State. This is the final round. If Jay and having a blast there, but if he loses, then we're going to send out someone else. It'll be Sam most likely. And if they lose, then we just go to state. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. If Sam loses, then we're gonna do another round. But if we win,

072we're in a good position. Worst I not worst best case scenario, Sam doesn't have to play. Mhm. I mean, he did play previously. I just wish like uh the subs got a little more time to shine, you know? Yeah. Oh, which granted in like in a finals game like I personally if I was sub I'd as long as I could play just a game at state like as long as I can like say I participated and helped win at state that's all I I'd really care about is to say like I helped at state. That's good. That's good. Especially when helping say like hey I helped us get there. Yeah. Mhm. All righty. Sending sending him off. I forget. Did Jaden face the Falcon though? No. No, he didn't. So, this is this is like

073a fresh match for both them. All the Falcon knows that Jaden is like just good. Mhm. So, I think Falco faced Eli in the first match. Oh, does a side off the edge, but he but he has one but I think Falco has the highest jump in the game. So, it's not a problem using sidebe to set off the Lloyd rockets. All these characters are finding creative ways to destroy the Lloyd rockets. Whether it be whether it be avoiding it entirely. A side special down air. A lot of ways. All right. Throwing him off the ledge and a down air. Oh, which does hit but does not spike. Oh, does a back air and an up air. Wow. Jaden just coming back from just the effectively having no damage. Oh, he's going around. He's going

074around. He put a loin down. Yeah, he stretched out the screen. I didn't even know that. He stretched out the screen. That's one of his best strategies. I don't think I've ever seen that many competitive Isabels do that. Um, and that just goes to show how much Jaden thinks in like four dimensions with his character cuz while most people just see it as a landmine on the ground, he thinks about the entire stage and the camera, too. What? That's it's it's insane to like just manipulate the game to effectively just shadowing your like I assume the void is like one of Isabelle's like most powerful and best attacks. I think so. Uh Jay then makes it look like that anyways. Yeah. And which it's like Jaden's like signature thing. And it's like Oh, and another

075back setting him off to the left. Oh my goodness. The three stock potential is crazy. Oh. Oh. Throws him into the Lloyd. Goodness gracious. He's going crazy, I tell you. Falco sending out plenty of projectiles. Oh, and he reflects the Lloyd. He's sending out so many reflectors. Oh, and a down smash. Oh, breaks the balloons, but not Isabelle, the target he was actually aiming for. Even more reflectors, but the reflector doesn't appear to get the Lloyd off of the ground. I think it only works once the Lloyd is out and ready. Sending out a forge mash. sending out another Lloyd rocket so we can put one there. Oh. Oh, jumps back on it. He lands on it. Oh, do you think the Falcon will fall for the like the around the map Lloyd again? I'm

076not sure. Probably not. Oh, well, there we go. He Jaden loses the three stock streak, but it's fine as long as as long as we make it to state. Oh, tries for tries for a neutral air. Doesn't hit it. And a down air. which unless this Falco just goes insane and manages to take two stocks off of Jaden and then reverse three restock the next oncoming person then yeah Falco Falco going back to his roots his bread and butter combos up tilts into up air using quite a few reflectors but the turnipss are not we are going to state this year wow that was that was way less intense than last year from what I remember commentating like it was back and forth last year don't worry guys I'm not going to take my shirt

077off this year. Don't worry guys, we're we're not taking our shirts off. Postgame interviews. I believe the fishing rod is the most powerful. You know what? That's pretty good. You know, it's a very extendable grab, you know, and it hits like so often. I Well, it feels like it comes out really quickly. Covers a lot of distance. Um, and when they reel it back in, it still has a hitbox. Here they come. We're going to Here they come. Here they come. Wow. Goodness gracious. Coming through. They're going crazy. They did the They did the We're going to start. Who Who should we Who should we start? I We're going to interview you last. Okay. Who Who should we interview first? Who do you want to interview first? JJ, I feel like he should be last

078though. Then we'll do Eenie Meenie Miny Mo. Eeny meenie miny mo. Catch Sam by the toe if he screams at my face. Pick this one. Eli. Hi. Hi. Hi, Eli. Um, so let's interview you. All right, Eli, how do you think that match went for you? No, I'm pretty good. Ah, that's good. That's good. Sending out quite a few Gordos. Do you think that's King DD's best move? Yeah, but it can also just kill you instead. Oh, yeah. I hate it when they just reflect it back at me. It's stupid. It's stupid on so many levels, I tell you. Who do you think was their best player? All I can about is that one time someone played Steve. Oh yeah. Oh, I forgot they had a Steve. Flipping steel the chicken jockey. So So you

079guys probably know this. Is Steve unbanned this season because is it is just like his is just like his invincible tech band you could play. You're just not allowed to do his cheat method. I think the rule is you just don't do this. You just can't cheat meth. Yeah. Just don't cheat. Even though picking the character basically is don't cheat. Oh, okay. DLC moment. Is that why I didn't get Goofy? Cuz the zero to death itself is banned. I think I think so. Maybe. Is there like a zero to death trap? Yeah. Is it Is it like unavoidable on being banned and then they found a zero to death with him and they're like, "Okay, that's it." And then they brought him back and then some tournaments still have and kill you. Cue the title

080card. Um Shock block when you need him. Who do you Jason? Jason Mimoa is right here. It's Jason Mamoa right here from what Parker got in his in his Minecraft movie Happy Meal. In his Happy Meal he got before the match started. So goed. Me and Parker were eating food. We were just chilling. Yeah, we were just chilling. Um Clinton stealing it up. I stole a fry during that time. I didn't We'll interview. You're closer. Um how do you feel like you performed that match? Uh reaction at all. I think that snake definitely either they're used to links or he just knew me very very well. U he pulled out all of his brain for that one. Do you think it could have just been like bad matchup moment or just like you were having

081an off day? Yeah, Jaden says it is kind of a bad matchup. I was definitely not having a bad m like day in terms of like your scale and everything. Um, I just have to say props to the to the snake in general. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I can definitely respect the grind he's put in. Snake is not that easy of a character to learn. Character. Mhm. Well, we'll go with with you next. Mr. King Ku. Oh, yeah. Mr. King. Yeah. Yeah. Do you want Do you want to step near the middle of this? Okay. Take out your mic cuz you know Yeah. He's our He's our He's the senior citizen. I am. There we go. I guess you're all righty. I'm so bad. All righty. So, Sam, how do you think you played that round?

082Pretty good. That's good. That's good. It's good to be happy with how you play. You know, it's that mindset, I tell you. All righty. Who do you think their best player was? I really want to say either the Falco or the Jigglypuff. Oh, you got to pick, dude. I'm putting you on the spot. I'll still go with the jiggly puff. A that makes sense. Lot of aerials, you know, a lot of aerials. It's the same problem with King DDD. A lot of room to work with with all those aerials. A lot of surface area, I tell you. That's nice. Do you think you're Do you think we're going to win at state? I think so. A good shot. Allighty. The man himself. The man. Mr. Mr. Almost triple three stock in the in the second

083round. Almost. If I didn't fight a Falco. Do you think that was just matchup? Do you think Do you think he would have just went for the triple three stock if is Falco good against Isabelle? Falco was great against Isabelle. Yeah. Mhm. So all I'm hearing is skill gap. We shouldn't say that on stream about them in case they're watching. But we love you Purdue. You did good. You did good. Yeah. Keep it nice. Keep it nice. PG. Unfortunately, I am one with Isabelle as you can see. How sad. He is Isabelle. They call me Oh, I heard that. The only thing he's missing is a custom hoodie. True. And And I have to bleach my hair to make it the same color as these ears. That's true. That's true. So, you obviously performed phenomenal

084in your games. Thank you. Thank you. So, were you just like just locked in? I think so. Cuz like when we were watching I I come to you like you just looked stonefaced, just no emotion, just just pure focus. Yeah. I I was very focused. I was very uh I care a lot about the outcome of this matchup of all of our matchups. You know, I bring the headphones to lock in throughout school. Like, you know, I think about school, but I'm, you know, the match. Yeah. Going through. I think about it the entire day. Nervous about it the entire day. I learned that Jigglypuff match up with on the topic of whatever question you're about to ask me next. Probably who's the best player? Um, I would say the Falco, but like I spent

085last night learning the Jigglypuff MU, getting very used to it. The Jigglypuff probably could have been their best player in my eyes if I didn't, you know, know that matchup and not really know the Falco. Yeah. It's those elements of surprise that go against what you plan. It's annoying. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, I I was locked in today. I'm proud of myself today. I did good. That's That's good. That's good. So, how do you think we're going to do at state? I don't really know. It's scary that I don't know. It's exciting that I don't know. It'll be cool to fight a youth PR player to see how I stack up because they don't really interact with the Indiana youth scene all that much. Just means they're just young and good, right? Yeah. They're just

086young and good. Like top 10 in the state. Good. But Jaden could also be one of those players secretly. Yes, secretly. I might be the secret boss. We're going to find out. I'm obviously scared, but that's exciting. We're going to go, no matter what the outcome is, we're all going to go to state. We're all going to play our best. You're going to win and we're going to win. Mr. Cook, would you like to get an interview? Put you We're going to put you on the spot because why not?

They were ready for that team, ready for that

087matchup. Um, shout out to Purdue Polytechnic for that. Um, they are a great team. Um, you know, some of our players are just so incredible that they they made it look easy, but that they are a fantastic team. Um, and good competition there. So, yeah, I'm excited to see uh what happens at State. This is uh, you know, a team that's put in work all throughout what started in August, September. Um, something like that. So, it's been it's been a good run and the the run continues off to state um face uh Hobart um and the the championship next Saturday. So, that should be a good Yeah, a good matchup. Um but we'll we'll be ready and we'll we'll give them our best. You guys beat Hobart, correct? Yeah, we have. But they in between

088season one. Yeah, they they gained their youth PR player. They they gained Bubba Beans. That's Yeah, his name is Bubba Beans. He's a pack man player. It is a good name. Was it like a super close match up pre- Bubba Beans? Yeah, it was a pretty close matchup I believe if I recall correctly. Don't give away our strategies for the match up here. I I I was just I'm not exposing anything cuz I don't even know what's going on. Watch it was like 99% Jordan talking and me going, "Good job. That was a good attack. That was a nice dodge." Yeah.
