You blind ignorant fool! jk.Excel was a top peach but he actually wasn't the best one; Edrees was. If you don't believe me, Edrees not only placed higher at Genesis before retiring but beat Excel in bracket (peach ditto and then Edrees beat him with his YOSHI).
And Gadiel that video was crews... not many people take them THAT seriously xD
I still don't see how you say Kyon, Silly Kyle, and King Beef's videos are better. They do not have the same technical skill Excel had nor do they have the same punishment game. I haven't seen any other peach perform the combos Excel has in his videos nor the level of precision in his tactics.I see what your trying to say but I disagree with it.
Both of these videos show Excel_Zero playing very well but his opponents are playing like utter ****.
Don't get me wrong - Excel Zero WAS the best Peach but if we compare him to some of our current Peach players I don't see what makes him so significant or "better" than them. I think Excel Zero achieved probably the (top) of Peach's metagame before everyone else catching these opponents offguard while the rest of us were trying to figure out what to do.
Kyon's, Silly Kyle's, and King Beef's videos are MUCH better than this in my opinion (only videos I've seen from the boards) mainly due to the fact that they are current day, and their opponents actually look like they understand the matchup.
We caught up and improved.
It was too late, so we have more work to do.
I don't think any character can reach the "Top" of their metagame.
Just an fyi, don't assume I don't have insane technical skill. You've never seen me play in person to make that kind of claim/comparison. Frankly, it would blow your mind, but none is shown in any of my videos (which are all admittedly subpar by the way).I still don't see how you say Kyon, Silly Kyle, and King Beef's videos are better. They do not have the same technical skill Excel had nor do they have the same punishment game. I haven't seen any other peach perform the combos Excel has in his videos nor the level of precision in his tactics.
You make way too much speculation. Doubles is how well you work on a team, and while both players have to be very good to succeed you can't compare individual players based off of doubles.You blind ignorant fool! jk.
Not really, lol. Excel had legit johns. He didn't know the Peach ditto since he lives on an island where no one else was at his skill level w/ Peach. It doesn't matter if Edrees placed higher @ one tournament when Excel has won more tournaments than Edrees and placed higher than him @ doubles in two national events. If you ask Edrees, I'm sure he would agree that Excel was better, haha.
I disagree. Yes, they've done great on a national scale which is something all of us have yet to achieve (if we ever do); but you're not even considering the changes that have occurred in Brawl's metagame! Excel's Peach was amazing, simply a marvel to the eyes, but aside from his "region" of Puerto Rico...where else has he won? Again, none of us hold a candle to his or Edrees' national level performances, but that was also back when Peach could still pull some maneuvers off that we couldn't even dare to attempt in today's metagame without getting a stock swiped off.We have not made it that far, honestly.
As much as I love to hear how much we are all improving and how well we're doing in our separate regions, we can't disillusion ourselves into thinking that being a "top Peach" now means we're a "top player". We are what's left, and not one of us has really proven we are what is the top of Peach's game. Remembering back, we could throw Edreese and Excel against national level players and it would work. I can't name a single player among us who I'd have confidence backing like that - simply because we're not at national level.
So no, even speculatively, I don't believe we've caught up game-play wise.
Illmatic played the Ike matchup pretty well, all things considered. It is San's Ike afterall, so he'll obviously make some of Ike's weaknesses in the matchup look less apparent because he's worked around them. It also looks like San is no stranger to the Peach matchup.Hey Kyle, would you like some Peach with your Turnips?
But seriously you handled that match up sooo well
Well done on your placing Illmatic :D You're moving on up ;D Have you played many Ike's before? I noticed a fair few mistakes which I didn't see when you were playing the Samus match up, I really felt you knew match up very well. I didn't get the same vibe when you were fighting Ike
