The fact that he got to third place and took acola to game 5 with Pit of all characters shows how much of a legend Zackray is…

Zachray is just happy to be there. Dude was smiling a lot during the set.

15:56 zackray having the time of his life, you love to see it

It’s crazy how 4 years ago, Zackray was Japan’s big upcoming prodigy. It’s the OG Japanese Prodigy vs the new one

It was such a fun set. I really liked that both Acola and Zackray were laughing and smiling and having fun while being hyper competitive in the set. Seems like both players are enjoying playing which is great

Zackray's Pit is amazing 💀

The difference in risk vs reward for these characters is insane. They both clearly outplay the other on many occasions, but Steve just gives Acola so much more in those situations

待ち望んでいた映画がようやく公開されたような気分になりました。 同じような感動がまたいつか待っていると思うと、胸が熱くなります。

Man, if there's a case study for the ban of steve, its the change in gameplay after losing the a game in this set. After that PS2 game we never see it to that extent again, but the fact that you CAN pilot that character in that way, is frustrating to watch in high level play. Congrats to both players for an amazing set though, Acola and Zackray big props - extremely skilled players and fun to watch!

Glad to see zackray doing well. I hope he travels more as I would love to see how he does in current times.

We finally get to see Zackray vs Acola, A dream match that finally happen!!!!!!! :D

zackray ha cambiado, tuvo un gran desarrollo de personaje. ahora lo veo mas confiado y encima la paso bien a pesar de que perdio. Me agrada Zack :)

Zackray’s got a glow up wtf Look at him, he’s beautiful

Commenting so ABC’s comment won’t be on top

Legendary set 🫡

If you haven't watched the Set yet, don't scroll down. One Comment blatantly just does nothing but spoil the Result.

This is the prophecy, the prophecy of Japan : japanese leo vs japanese sparg0

I don't know if anyone knows this, but Zackray is wearing the Big House 9 Outfit when he popped off on dabuz

I wish they didn’t have to face each other I love watching both of these players

Acola and Zack ray kazuya dittos in grands cmon make it happen

Can someone tell me the song that zackray picks for small battlefield? It’s so good!!!

You played really well, Zackray

Zackray looks like a young liu khang to me. Thats cool.

Zackray looking more like Masahiro Zachray lately.

Funny how these two players used to be even match for each other now every time they meet each other zackray gets 3-0 by acola. From this match alone you can tell acola is much stronger than he is now and this was a year ago their kagribi match is different as night is from day and it tells me that acola improves at a faster rate than most smash players and his mental fortitude is the strongest among ultimate players. Another thing I noticed is that acola never really stays the same there are subtle differences to every set he plays of course Steve which is good at creating chaos so that helps.

This game really needed another patch

First I'll say amazing set, they both played out their minds. Shout out to Acola for winning this one and Zackray for putting on a hell of a show. Now that that's out of the way - kinda getting sick of seeing these bullshit Steve exclusive interactions that really end up swaying the momentum and probably influencing the outcome of the game. Like I know if I was Zackray, I'd be tilted by some of the shit going on and just get in a bad headspace and end up throwing it mentally. There were plenty "strange bullshit" interactions throughout the set, mostly related to Steve and his hurtbox / hitbox shifting of some of the stuff he gets away with. But at around ~15:00 - ~15:30 in the set it's blatant, Steve somehow doesn't die to a great drag down follow up with up smash from Zackray, Steve was over 100, got dragged down and hit with the up smash from Pit. At first I thought he fell out? But that doesn't appear to be the case as it looks like he still got caught with the last hit of up smash, but there was like no knockback when it should've killed. Is there even a weak spot on that up smash hurtbox from Pit? That's the only thing I can think of as a possible explanation for what may have happened. Either way - that's utter bullshit and crazy things like that happen with Steve all the time, at least in the tournament vids I've been watching. Just seems really unfair and broken, either need to ban or something needs to be done to make him honest.

I swear. Pit pro players have no side b attached to their controllers. You can brute force so many options to gain the upper hand as long as you don't overuse the move

Carried vs actual prodigy

Old best vs new best

Zachary just having fun

Acola is a great player, but man, watching steve gameplay is the most boring experience

Props to Zackray for the amazing Pit play. Brought Steve to game 5. Can we ban Steve already?

Me: Lets avoid spoilers by not going to the comment section Grand finals chilling in the top right: bonjour

19:10 if Zackray jumps into acola and downBs it would have pushed Zackray away from the ledge to his death, evening the stocks. That’s the first thing i thought of when I saw that and I would have done exactly that.

Zachary definitely started having sec

Steve really is a cheat code.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who thought Ludwig was one of the commentators💀

What a great win from Zackray, showing to the world he’s still #1 in Japan

Zackray, if you don't play Pit again no one will remember you. 😈 But seriously, please play Pit again.

Glad to see this BS character getting banned. Zac’s clearly outclassed acola but acola just sat there playing boring and campy like all Steves then turning around and abusing ridiculous opportunities. You did amazing and won in our hearts Zac, Pits rise up

How tf is he doing this with Pit? He just got back to this game.

Cool Steve built a wall and another wall and another

Steve is the final boss

Glad Steve is now bannnned lololol

Japanese Leo vs Spargo

zackray is a so much better player

despise acola’s character, but he is a great player.

zackray is so cool

Why does pit sound more like a 6 year old in Japanese

素直にあcolaが喜べない環境が、とても悲しい

jaja lo que le paso

Love to see some Steve content

最上位が使ってもマジでなんも面白くないからスティーブはクソ

Steve is so cheese

Lol

Fundie characters like Pit aren't that fun to watch imo compared to multiple options characters like Steve

acola missing techs on his own blocks is alittle amusing. Also, his punish game was pretty mid this tourney. I dont know why he doesnt learn the optimal combo routes.
