At the very end, Neo saw Acola's shield and tried to go for an fsmash to trap him in shield. Acola knew from a similar situation that occurred previously during the set that Neo would try to abuse Steve's bad shield. Because of this, he decided to dance back in forth and shield, baiting Neo's fsmash with a roll in because he knew he could kill cross-stage with diamond fsmash. He conditioned Neo into thinking that he was simply going to hold shield again and countered at the most crucial moment, as he had no other resources. Steve may be broken, but that was an insane play. In the end, Neo played very well, but he had one his character's strengths used against him.

@@bluyu do you think Corrin's even or slight losing
@bluyu2 ай бұрын
@@KingObliv I think that, on paper, the MU is pretty even, if not slightly winning for Corrin. This is because Corrin has an amazing punish game, an oppressive advantage state, and massive disjoints. Corrin is also faster than Steve, which helps them play both offensively and defensively. The combination of Corrin's range and speed can make it hard for Steve to actually get in a lot of the time without committing to a punishable option. It also allows Corrin to deal with Steve's blocks much more safely. The size of Corrin's aerials makes it so that with proper spacing, Steve can't rely on footstool dair. A lot of Corrin's moves are very good against Steve's kit. For instance, Corrin's uair beats out Anvil and frametraps airdodges, making Steve susceptible to being juggled. Bair is also a great tool in the MU, as it moves Corrin out of the way while throwing out a large, fast hitbox. This is good for a number of applications, including breaking blocks, edgeguarding, beating out Minecart, recovering, and throwing out retreating air-to-airs. Another good tool Corrin has against Steve is Pin, which allows them to edgeguard and ledgetrap Steve without potentially getting reversaled or giving up stage control. It's also good for punishing airdodges, as Steve lacks airspeed and air acceleration. Fsmash is good for checking Steve if he's shielding too much, and fair is great for applying pressure and starting combos from a safe distance. Neutral B is a strong kill move and can also be used to annoy Steve if he's mining without walls up. Dair goes through Steve's usmash. Against Corrin, Steve has much less room to run around, which means it's harder to get both stage control and materials. Pair this with Steve's lack of range as well as the fact that Corrin has long lasting combos and frametraps that lead into huge positional and percent gains, and you get a character that excels at both matching Steve's punish game and denying him chances to use or gain materials. However, Steve can just hit you can kill you, so that's why I only say that Corrin wins or goes even on paper, but then again, you can SDI out of a lot of Steve's combos. Honestly, Corrin might even be better in the MU than Cloud, depending on how you play them.

@@fireatack It's true for most I'd say. There are some exceptions esp when a character has multiple moves that are good in different ways. Like some brawlers are more combo heavy vs others who value neutral more. Marss' zss is/was VERY rushdown vs some others who basically only z-air until kill percent etc. I don't know if Acola is distinguishable from other Steves in this manner tbo. When the Steve train first started he was imo noticeably more aggressive than most; however now it looks like Steves in general are trending towards how he used to play. Speaking of, am I missing something important in thinking whenever Steve recovers to ledge he might as well drop down, place block, and mine a few? Like unless an opponent shows counterplay capabilities it's literally free material no?
