Watching Sparg0 take this after getting 49th last year and also struggling heavily in recent brackets, just feels so good to finally see him come back to the top. He took a tough bracket and made it look easy. His hard work and determination paid off so well here and it showed. I knew he could win it as soon as he beat hurt! So proud of him to see this massive bounce back! And also mad props to sonix for also bouncing back from last year too and going on an insane losers run taking out many of the top 10 players!
SPOILERS: So happy for Spargo to finally get a recent major victory! Always believed in him and try my best to help (mostly focused on Hurt this tournament). Sonix is also incredible and a very nice guy (make sure to support his streams) hot take but i think they could be best 2 in the world alongside Acola. I love helping people achieve their dreams/goals and i would have been happy with either player taking GFs because they both worked so hard. The Roy was Spargo's secret weapon, but he wasnt sure who to use here, so i tried to give him Roy ideas here (will give more detailed video analysis soon/now for stream/vid). Excellent and hype GFs and tournament!

@@gerardoortega323 bro he beat FIVE top 10 players (no. 1, 2, 5, 7 10)! And somehow no. 9 beats him? Sparg0 isn't no.1 maybe, but sonix fs at least no. 2 in the world at very least.
But bruh… he did it playing as sonic… I dont see him as good for taking out Tweek or all the other truly special players. In reality, he’s robbed me of a grand finals we could all actually enjoy. The risk/reward of the character is simply unfair and I will never understand how/why people continue to give the character or players props. Like I know you have to be good to play at Sonix OF COURSE. I’m just saying he’s doing considerably better than he would if he was forced to play any an honest character.
@@jwel9828 sonic is a top character, yes. But still requires a high level of execution to go on the run sonix had, which is why you don't see Ken or wrath perennially at 2nd place at majors/supermajors.
Getting second at every single major is crazy. There isn't a single person that plays ultimate right now that is more consistent than Sonix. His time will come
Games he lost: One to Syrup (first game loss to a Steve since Kagaribi 10 grand finals set 1 game two to Acola) One to Hurt in winners Semis (game 3) Two to Sonix in Grand Finals (game 1 and 3)
Spargo is the best player in the world in terms of his peaks. When he plays his best only a handful of people beat him. If he keeps playing roy then kola might lose his status as best Roy in the world.
I don't get it though, didn't spargo not do as well in the early half of the year? Glad he got even more motivation to become the best but the rankings are based on stats and results
@@epistarter1136thats exactly it, its just his bad placements. Numbers dont tell the whole story tho, and everybody knows if Spargo is on point, nobody can beat him. Luckily he’s not caring much about rankings, just the grind and doing better than before.
Skill can sometimes be different from rankings lol, even in non team competitions. Also people got to remember that there are several metholodgical divides/debates in the commuinity when it comes to ranking, no ranking is going to please everyone.
Shows that there's more to fighting Sonic than just being fast. Mythra can keep up but she doesn't threaten him in an any significant way, and Pyra struggles to touch him at all to make the switch worth it most of the time. Roy is just as fast, but he can actually do something to Sonic once he gets his hands on him. That, I feel, was the real deciding factor here. If Spargo makes his recovery with Roy picture perfect, this may be the permanent answer to Sonix.
People usually point to Sonix's improvements at edgeguarding Pythra as the main reason for his newfound success against them, which is fair, him innovating the offstage flowchart against them is a big reason why people stopped believing Aegis was the easy answer to Sonic after like 8 sets of Sonix being stonewalled by Leo and Sparg0's Aegis at every tournament. I think another reason that isn't mentioned as often though is just how good he became at playing around Pyra's large, slow hitboxes, both in neutral and disadvantage, it used to feel like stray Pyra aerials would constantly delete Sonix, but now Pyra's swings barely graze him and he's immediately ready to punish every time, even at the ledge where Pyra should be at her scariest it's looked so hard in recent times for Pyras to close out a kill on him after Mythra wins neutral. Roy on the other hand has like 10 different ways to kill before you can even react, F-Tilt kills stupidly early for how fast it is, it's so fast and strong it can act as a way to kill Sonic for doing ground Spindash at the right distances, D-Tilt puts you in a techchase situation where one F-Smash can kill you at 50-60% centerstage, and Side-B is especially prominent in the matchup because it outright beats Spindash somehow and Sonic is often charging it at the ledge where it kills very early, like you mentioned, Roy has no issues with meeting Sonic at the ledge before he can get around him, something Pyra can have trouble with due to her speed, and he can actually just kill Sonic if he does manage to catch him, unlike Mythra. At the ledge the difference is even more noticeable, Pyra has to predict Sonic's ledge option beforehand to kill because of how slow her buttons are while Roy barely has to do anything to threaten a stock, he can jab the ledge at random intervals or just stand there at roll range and his opponent will still be in massive danger because of how many options Roy can cover all at once, and if any of his noncommital options hit they make his opponent explode, he doesn't kill as early as Pyra does but he is so much more likely to kill if he pushes Sonic to the ledge (and he still kills at grossly early percents compared to the majority of the cast anyway). Most of that didn't happen in this set though cause most of Sonix's stocks were lost from getting Jaired after neutral get-up, if you do want to see more of Roy's options against a Sonic of Sonix's caliber though then SmashLIbrarian has most (all?) of the Sparg0 Roy vs Sonix VODs from their practice sessions together, the way Sparg0 wins the majority of their games with a Roy that's 80% piloted by fundies definitely validates my Roy beats Sonic narrative, cause even during those matches he'll fail Roy confirms and admit afterward that he just didn't know how to do them. I was also an Aegis beats Sonic believer for a super long time though, it's just as likely that Sonix finds a way to flip the matchup completely, maybe he figures out a flowchart to edgeguarding Roy that makes every backthrow offstage as dangerous for Roy as Roy's ledgetrapping is for Sonic, maybe he'll adopt a gameplan that makes it feel impossible for Roy to land anything but sourspots in neutral, or maybe there's a dozen different ways for Sonic to escape disadvantage against Roy that haven't been implemented yet, if a way exists he will find it, guy grinds like a monster at this game. I hope he doesn't though personally lol.
Don't diminish Sparg0 performance, he is much better player than Sonix, he can take 3 or 4 characters to top level, Sonix is nothing without campy lame Sonic
Sparg0 has played Roy again Sonix on his stream before. Didn't think he would pull it out in bracket, at least this early after he started playing Roy a couple months ago
Sonix never beating the 2nd place allegations lol All jokes aside these guys both played amazing this whole tournament. Gj to them for bouncing back after their rough smash con placements last year, they didn't take their rankings lightly and proved it here
Avsolute congratulations to Spargo, but I have to also commend Sonix for one of the best loser's runbacks I've seen in awhile. His 3-0 agaibst Acola was absolutely insane and his sportsmanship against Raru was so heartwarming. I hope he gets his supermajor win this year, that'll be a story for the ages when it happens
Watched that Acola set live, was rooting for acola… but sonix just DID NOT let up on him. Absolutely incredible run, even if it was second place. He beat so many strong players that it’s GOTTA be commended
@@creative_commander4973 It looked like Acola had figured out a way to stay even with camping him, until he started panicking in game 1 and couldn't get a grip after that..
He only played against one person with the secondary. Not saying his Roy isn't amazing but this was just a specific counter pick which every top player does
@@Kenji.95 experimental or not it's still a counter pick. He chose Roy because his other characters would've lost. He's also played Roy against Sonic before so it's not as if he didn't know how the matchup would go
I'd love to see the Luminosity Gaming faces after this amazing upset... That Roy was Insane and unexpected by many of us. Even Sonix didn't expect that Roy. Sonix getting Second once again is a Curse, Poor Sonix. I see Spargo improves so much since that trip to Japan Congratulations to Spargo for winning this tourney without losing any set. The Spargoat Is back!! 🐐🐐
You guys are so weird. The ranking is literally done with only placements in mind. Spargo had several bad placement through inconsistency and thus placed lower than his skill level. It's literally his own fault lmao
People are really flaming luminosity for placing spargoat at 9th Even though it was a HALF year ranking, and getting 33rd and 13th and having loses to outside top 50 players (rarikusu) I can see that. But with all that being said. Sparg0 IS better than 9th. His placements and tournaments and loses made him there. Also. Sonix forever 2nd lmao. PLEASE I WANT SONIX TO GET 2ND AND THE END OF YEAR RANKINGS THAT’D BE SO FUNNY Also, acola got his new worst placement of the year, matching last hear. As his worse placement was 7th
@@kingkillmger9597 i never said I hated sonix lmao, I love him. From his content in LG smash and his streams. It’s just the meme in the smssh community rn. Sonix getting 2nd every major he goes to
Sonix ended his run with wins over jahzz0, light, miya, tweek, acola, raru, asimo, and shadic with both of his losses going to game 4 and 5. Say what you will about Sonic but Sonix is a contender for best player in the world for a reason ggs
It's so curious how Spargo And Sonix got a 49th and 25th respectively, at Super Smash Con 2023 last Year. Now are in Grand Finals!! The latinos are insane right now!!
I think the reason Spargo won is largely because he didn't give up after losing in Japanese tournaments in May and sought revenge at Kuwloon×Kagaribi. I hope NA players will visit Japan at least twice.
I mean, despite his heartbreaking performance in his recent trip to japan, Sparg0 is also the only NA player to ever win an ultimate supermajor in Japan(Kagaribi 10). loses and slumps happen to anyone, he won because he is one of the best there is, nothing has changed that. On the other hand, I dont believe Sonix has ever gone outside of NA
It was a really fun tournament to watch and congrats to Spargo but seeing Sonix slowly burn out in finals to eventually lose and get second again is depressing What an amazing run though, I REALLY hope he gets the major he deserves soon man
People may hate his character, yet I respect his ability to make such a losers bracket run defeating many top players including Acola and Miya. I could tell he was running out of gas watching him live in-person in grand finals
He plays as a character that is unfair and quite literally cheats at the game. Do you think Sonix feels bad when he times out players and throws out the same moves to annoy his opponents?
@jwel9828 that's the salt of all time, you wouldn't even be able to beat any of these guys with sonic even if you tried. Also, Sonix is the only solo sonic player in the top 20, with Ken being the next at 28th currently. Sonic is a great character, and Sonix is an amazing player
@@Sogudu I am not a bot, I’m simply advocating for justice. One of the last few who still accept the truth that Sonic is, and has always been, toxic in this game… Alas, its too late for anything to change in this instance of Smash… I just hope Sonic, and any similar character design, does not exist in the next Smash.
Despite all Ultimate bullshit, stupid DLC, broken lame characters, we are reminded every now and then of a hopeful truth. Skill-wise, Spargo is the best player in the world. And he is fun as hell to watch.
@@dragnjames2190 roy is an amazing character, but it is spargos tertiary and this is the first time he used it on a tourney and won grand finals against probably the second best player, he IS the best player in the world skillwise
How is Sparg0 the best in the world when this is his first big win since an eternity? Acola and Miya are just more concistent and play in the strongest region. Just look at this top 8 with 5/8 players coming from Japan while players from the US and Mexico keep drowning in pools in Japan. It's a big win for sure but Sparg0 knows himself that this ain't enough yet.
@@rannynihilius8481 It's just NA bias at this point. If a Japanese player won that wasn't Asimo or maybe Yoshidora, the whole comment section would be flooded with "Smash is dead. :(" like we've heard time and again.
Glad Spargo won, wish he would’ve gotten the run back on Acola but a dub is a dub. Also, Acola was happy that he beat Spargo but he’s got another demon in Sonix waiting for him.
Yup, speed relative to sonic's while also having kill power and disjoints to match. You can tell this is what spargo was going for with Aegis, but that drastic change in stats between both characters versus Roy who more or less has both is quite apparent.
@@saikyojushin370 yeah, that’s why I always thought the mu was +1 for Roy. People argue Sonic can edgeguard and ledgetrap him which is very true but he has mix against it. Sonic also is pretty easy for Roy to tech chase and his shield is easy for him to pressure (Sonic’s oos is pretty average and from the back he has nothing basically). Roy does have consistent ways of keeping bro in disadvantage fr while catching him out
I don't think Sonic is as broken, honestly... sonix playstyle is lame AF, I know, but we as a community should demand for Steve to be banned. That's the real problem
@@charliesalazar3119 sonix plays super aggressive and only camps when he needs to or it'll guarantee him the win. Did you see him fight acola? He was the campy one. Or his match against raru? Ken is the one people think Sonix plays like
I didn't watch the entire tournament. I just saw the top 8, and I KNEW that Spargo vs Sonix was going to be the Grand Final. I was feeling it ! Love this rivalry, one of my favorite with the MKLeo/Tweek rivalry 🔥
No olvidar que la basura de Lumirank lo consideró como 9no... Un 9no lugar que se llevó dobles y singles de probablemente el torneo más difícil del año.
Simplemente en silencio hizo su trabajo y el tiempo pone a todos en el lugar que se merecen,por ahora sparg0 es el rey aunque a lumirank y sus japonesitos no les parezca
to be fair, sparg0 only won one major event and his losses during his japan trip were pretty rough. plus his only top 10 wins were 2 sets against shadic and light respectively. he didn't have any wins on the rest of the top 10.

There's a bunch of Ultimate commentators that I like, Vicki, Charles Haz, Rod, the rare Coney appearance, but no one, I mean no one delivers like TK and EE. So good, so much fun. Hats off to you gentlemen as always.
sparg0 will always be everyone's fan favorite. the only thing he needs it consistency and his legacy cannot be denied. the new goat of smash bros after MKLEO
At this point Sparg0 it’s hard to not see Sparg0 as the goat. Without relying so heavily on DLC with a character that has lackluster recovery, he’s taken out the best in the world time and time again. He hasn’t been shaken by any meta changes or goofy play styles like Sonix timeouts, Steve, or G&W His only notable bracket demon is Mkleo, which was a previous #1. The consistency in his performance is amazing, and his headspace and respect for the game kind of trumps Leo’s. I can see why he’s the only Smash player to be picked up by FaZe. Let’s go SparGOAT
CONGRATS TO SPARG0AT!! I met him at battle of bc 6, he was just walking around so I quickly asked for a picture. He is a respectful, humble, and peaceful individual. I am glad he walks among us and well deserved win!!!
The bias on the commentators is hilarious, Sonix hit a 86% sequence that's frame tight and they talk over it, then Sparg0 hits jab nair fair and they pop off LOL
@@charliesalazar3119 u forget back right after covid when kola really was a contender for one of the best players in the world. He took peak mkleo to game 5 at a glitch and won ceo 2021 over glutonny after being sent to losers
@@KuYa_Boi Right, imo he always kinda felt like he hit the glass ceiling and was just never able to break through in Ult. Unlike the advancements that ShinyMark has made with the character. Feels like the only thing ESAM really did ( other than push Pikachu top 1 propaganda. ) was beat Leo at Glitch 8.5. And Leo has historically always had a huge rat problem nearly as big as his Mario problem lol.
This boy Sparg0 was really like " aight, Sonix beat my Mythra and my Pyra again, and Pneuma is not in Smash... oh wait she kinda is, there's Roy ! " then proceeded to win the tournament with him despite barely playing the character before. MkLeo's Roy ? Hell, Kola's Roy ? Pfft, what are these, Sparg0's Roy is better 💀 congrats to him by the way, 9th rank was disrespectful and winning Supernova was his way of stating it
Both the players destined to win last years but got upset now in grands, the two who haven’t fought in grands since coinbox IRL now in grands again…smash storylines are great
The audience *only* rooting for Spargo, and chanting when Sonix SDs is very toxic. Sonix is one of the best players in the world, and his matches are insanely fun to watch. If we lose him from this dumb community's toxicity, it will be a very sad day for Smash.
SPOILERS: Let's go Sparg0 own those LumiRank frauds. 9th in the world my ass. I hope he keeps the momentum for the rest of the season, this was a good start for the 1st in the world race.
Shoutouts to Sonix, really excellent and consistent player. Great set. It’s gotta be tough for him, dealing with the unwarranted vitriol from the community. But his accolades speak for themselves. Keep on running, Sonix, you got this! Congrats to Sparg0 for the hype counterpick and clutch ledgetrapping. He undoubtedly earned this victory.
The stats were still accurate. Sparg0 simply proved he was better than his recent performances and he will reclaim his spot at the top if he keeps playing this way.
5:42 The guy in the front with a Powerpuff Girls shirt, WHAT A LEGEND. 2. place for Sonix again 😭... Spargo played well though, so congrats to him, securing the victory using "our boy Roy".
As much as I hate SoniC, I really want SoniX to win something. Man grinds and studies like no one else. He beat the top 2 of Japan (and world), the top 3 of USA, and then fell to the top 1 of Mexico. Second at all the majors and supermajors he attended, mindblowing consistency, but also insane frustration for sure.
The genius of the Roy pick is Sonix is so good at studying his opponents and prepping. When has Sparg0 ever used Roy in tourney? As amazing as Sonix is that pick must have thrown him off guard
Sparg0 played amazing! Congrats man! But my goat this major was Sonix no doubt (huge props to Marss) his Losers run was one of the hardest runs Ive ever seen, he will get it soon, no doubt.

1. Death
2. Taxes

@@markzuckerberg8067 For sure yeah, look at Gluto or Leo
Does anyone with two working eyes think he's worse than TamaPDaifuku? Simply ridiculous.
Shows that there's more to fighting Sonic than just being fast. Mythra can keep up but she doesn't threaten him in an any significant way, and Pyra struggles to touch him at all to make the switch worth it most of the time.
Roy is just as fast, but he can actually do something to Sonic once he gets his hands on him. That, I feel, was the real deciding factor here. If Spargo makes his recovery with Roy picture perfect, this may be the permanent answer to Sonix.
Wrath apparently thinks Roy's one of Sonic's worst matchups
Also, Roy has the 4th best air speed in the game, even better than Mythra, which is invaluable for recovering, landing safely, and catching Sonic
Sonix will likely adapt to it but it's definitely an option
People usually point to Sonix's improvements at edgeguarding Pythra as the main reason for his newfound success against them, which is fair, him innovating the offstage flowchart against them is a big reason why people stopped believing Aegis was the easy answer to Sonic after like 8 sets of Sonix being stonewalled by Leo and Sparg0's Aegis at every tournament.
I think another reason that isn't mentioned as often though is just how good he became at playing around Pyra's large, slow hitboxes, both in neutral and disadvantage, it used to feel like stray Pyra aerials would constantly delete Sonix, but now Pyra's swings barely graze him and he's immediately ready to punish every time, even at the ledge where Pyra should be at her scariest it's looked so hard in recent times for Pyras to close out a kill on him after Mythra wins neutral.
Roy on the other hand has like 10 different ways to kill before you can even react, F-Tilt kills stupidly early for how fast it is, it's so fast and strong it can act as a way to kill Sonic for doing ground Spindash at the right distances, D-Tilt puts you in a techchase situation where one F-Smash can kill you at 50-60% centerstage, and Side-B is especially prominent in the matchup because it outright beats Spindash somehow and Sonic is often charging it at the ledge where it kills very early, like you mentioned, Roy has no issues with meeting Sonic at the ledge before he can get around him, something Pyra can have trouble with due to her speed, and he can actually just kill Sonic if he does manage to catch him, unlike Mythra.
At the ledge the difference is even more noticeable, Pyra has to predict Sonic's ledge option beforehand to kill because of how slow her buttons are while Roy barely has to do anything to threaten a stock, he can jab the ledge at random intervals or just stand there at roll range and his opponent will still be in massive danger because of how many options Roy can cover all at once, and if any of his noncommital options hit they make his opponent explode, he doesn't kill as early as Pyra does but he is so much more likely to kill if he pushes Sonic to the ledge (and he still kills at grossly early percents compared to the majority of the cast anyway).
Most of that didn't happen in this set though cause most of Sonix's stocks were lost from getting Jaired after neutral get-up, if you do want to see more of Roy's options against a Sonic of Sonix's caliber though then SmashLIbrarian has most (all?) of the Sparg0 Roy vs Sonix VODs from their practice sessions together, the way Sparg0 wins the majority of their games with a Roy that's 80% piloted by fundies definitely validates my Roy beats Sonic narrative, cause even during those matches he'll fail Roy confirms and admit afterward that he just didn't know how to do them.
I was also an Aegis beats Sonic believer for a super long time though, it's just as likely that Sonix finds a way to flip the matchup completely, maybe he figures out a flowchart to edgeguarding Roy that makes every backthrow offstage as dangerous for Roy as Roy's ledgetrapping is for Sonic, maybe he'll adopt a gameplan that makes it feel impossible for Roy to land anything but sourspots in neutral, or maybe there's a dozen different ways for Sonic to escape disadvantage against Roy that haven't been implemented yet, if a way exists he will find it, guy grinds like a monster at this game.
I hope he doesn't though personally lol.
@kond7664 Helps that in general, Roy is a bit more difficult to edgeguard than Pythra.
Sparg0 slayed all his demons in one day, awesome!
Hurt, Shadic, Sonic.
@@Twuang Sonix*
@@sammyrivera1141 😎👌
He didnt slay the goats Light or Zomba
sparg0 was NOT happy with that #9 placement
When he's on, he's undoubtedly the best player in the world. Congrats Spargo on giving Roy his first P tier win!
I like Sparg0 declined the fist bump and offered the hand-shaking!! It's more than a simple rivality!!
That Roy came out of nowhere. Also, I think Sonix ran out of brain juice by the time he got to Sparg0.
Don't diminish Sparg0 performance, he is much better player than Sonix, he can take 3 or 4 characters to top level, Sonix is nothing without campy lame Sonic
Yeah, Sonix kept doing normal get up and getting punished. Mans ran out of brain juice lol.
Sonix plays Sonic, i.e. there is no brain juice to begin with.
Sparg0 has played Roy again Sonix on his stream before. Didn't think he would pull it out in bracket, at least this early after he started playing Roy a couple months ago
I wouldn't say ran out of brain juice, I'd say it's the pressure in his mind of knowing he's lost in grands in every single tournament in 2024
Sonix never beating the 2nd place allegations lol
All jokes aside these guys both played amazing this whole tournament. Gj to them for bouncing back after their rough smash con placements last year, they didn't take their rankings lightly and proved it here
33:11 EE having to remind Spargo to thank his sponsor 😂 good interview!
and the 2nd places continue...
Ouch… so true
Avsolute congratulations to Spargo, but I have to also commend Sonix for one of the best loser's runbacks I've seen in awhile. His 3-0 agaibst Acola was absolutely insane and his sportsmanship against Raru was so heartwarming. I hope he gets his supermajor win this year, that'll be a story for the ages when it happens
Watched that Acola set live, was rooting for acola… but sonix just DID NOT let up on him. Absolutely incredible run, even if it was second place. He beat so many strong players that it’s GOTTA be commended
@@creative_commander4973 It looked like Acola had figured out a way to stay even with camping him, until he started panicking in game 1 and couldn't get a grip after that..
You know you’re the best player in the world when you can win such a huge tournament with a secondary.
Exactly. Finally someone that understands it
Mkleo type shi
He only played against one person with the secondary. Not saying his Roy isn't amazing but this was just a specific counter pick which every top player does
@@aaronevans7444 he played Ken with his secondary to see success. The Roy his tertiary and experimental to say the least, not a specific counterpick.
@@Kenji.95 experimental or not it's still a counter pick. He chose Roy because his other characters would've lost. He's also played Roy against Sonic before so it's not as if he didn't know how the matchup would go
I'd love to see the Luminosity Gaming faces after this amazing upset... That Roy was Insane and unexpected by many of us. Even Sonix didn't expect that Roy.
Sonix getting Second once again is a Curse, Poor Sonix.
I see Spargo improves so much since that trip to Japan Congratulations to Spargo for winning this tourney without losing any set. The Spargoat Is back!! 🐐🐐
He only lost 4 games in the entire tournament
@@Youchus551 Yeah that was an absolutely madness!! An achievement that Many players cannot show off. Spargo really plays like a Beast In this tourney.
You guys are so weird. The ranking is literally done with only placements in mind. Spargo had several bad placement through inconsistency and thus placed lower than his skill level. It's literally his own fault lmao
SPARG0AT
Greetings from TJ
People are really flaming luminosity for placing spargoat at 9th
Even though it was a HALF year ranking, and getting 33rd and 13th and having loses to outside top 50 players (rarikusu) I can see that. But with all that being said. Sparg0 IS better than 9th. His placements and tournaments and loses made him there.
Also. Sonix forever 2nd lmao. PLEASE I WANT SONIX TO GET 2ND AND THE END OF YEAR RANKINGS THAT’D BE SO FUNNY
Also, acola got his new worst placement of the year, matching last hear. As his worse placement was 7th
The top 3 are all god damn demons with how consistent they are.
@@TopOfAllWorlds exactly, that’s why spargo didn’t match his four horseman companions, inconsistencies
How is it funny that a player good enough to get #1 every time doesn't do it? I can't wait for him to win everything and just shut you guys up.
Douchebags
@@kingkillmger9597 i never said I hated sonix lmao, I love him. From his content in LG smash and his streams.
It’s just the meme in the smssh community rn. Sonix getting 2nd every major he goes to
Sonix ended his run with wins over jahzz0, light, miya, tweek, acola, raru, asimo, and shadic with both of his losses going to game 4 and 5. Say what you will about Sonic but Sonix is a contender for best player in the world for a reason ggs
I mean he’s very good but he’s either a huge choke or his girl is giving him the kardashian curse.
he actually lost 3-1 to snow, it didn't go game 5.
Yeah he got cooked in that set! Loved it🔥
@@ragames7320 oh yea it did that’s mb I’ll edit that then
I havent seen sonix lose 3-0, or does he?
DLC2じゃないロイ対ソニック最高すぎ
It's so curious how Spargo And Sonix got a 49th and 25th respectively, at Super Smash Con 2023 last Year. Now are in Grand Finals!! The latinos are insane right now!!
Sonix lost to Ddee who lowkey been a demon bracket with his Steve pac man and spargo had a bad season that year
M2K gave advice to HBOX and he won. Now he gave advice to Spag0 and he won. M2K is one of the greatest players ever.
Imagine eliminating "Miya" and "Acola" and finishing second for the fifth time, life is not fair
Skill issue
It felt like god was just throwing top 10 players at him to stop his run lmao
If you are not better than the gran finals guy, you are not going to win, despite who you eliminated on your loosers run
Life is more than fair. He finally got what he deserves for that lame playstyle
@@charliesalazar3119Dude get sonixs dick out your mouth. I don’t even like him but Jesus dude it’s just a game.
もう最初のグータッチじゃなく握手する瞬間から好き、最高。
I think the reason Spargo won is largely because he didn't give up after losing in Japanese tournaments in May and sought revenge at Kuwloon×Kagaribi. I hope NA players will visit Japan at least twice.
Sonix clears japan
Sonix isn't just clears Japanese players he's defeating everyone😂
I mean, despite his heartbreaking performance in his recent trip to japan, Sparg0 is also the only NA player to ever win an ultimate supermajor in Japan(Kagaribi 10). loses and slumps happen to anyone, he won because he is one of the best there is, nothing has changed that.
On the other hand, I dont believe Sonix has ever gone outside of NA
Mr. Second place showing the meaning of consistency! Congrats for another great performance!
Honestly, I just don't want the streak to end anymore. I think I'll be equally dissapointed if he gets anything better or worse than second.
@@TopOfAllWorlds At the same time tho, i dont like seeing sonic in every GF
It was a really fun tournament to watch and congrats to Spargo but seeing Sonix slowly burn out in finals to eventually lose and get second again is depressing
What an amazing run though, I REALLY hope he gets the major he deserves soon man
People may hate his character, yet I respect his ability to make such a losers bracket run defeating many top players including Acola and Miya. I could tell he was running out of gas watching him live in-person in grand finals
He plays as a character that is unfair and quite literally cheats at the game. Do you think Sonix feels bad when he times out players and throws out the same moves to annoy his opponents?
@jwel9828 that's the salt of all time, you wouldn't even be able to beat any of these guys with sonic even if you tried. Also, Sonix is the only solo sonic player in the top 20, with Ken being the next at 28th currently. Sonic is a great character, and Sonix is an amazing player
@@jwel9828 literally watch the set. you are a bot if you saw this and say he constantly times out people and uses the same moves over and over
@@Sogudu I am not a bot, I’m simply advocating for justice. One of the last few who still accept the truth that Sonic is, and has always been, toxic in this game… Alas, its too late for anything to change in this instance of Smash… I just hope Sonic, and any similar character design, does not exist in the next Smash.
Despite all Ultimate bullshit, stupid DLC, broken lame characters, we are reminded every now and then of a hopeful truth. Skill-wise, Spargo is the best player in the world. And he is fun as hell to watch.
Steve should have been banned years ago.
I thought the truth was that Roy is still a nutty, cracked character in his own right even amidst the DLC fighter pass 2 powercreep.
@@dragnjames2190 roy is an amazing character, but it is spargos tertiary and this is the first time he used it on a tourney and won grand finals against probably the second best player, he IS the best player in the world skillwise
How is Sparg0 the best in the world when this is his first big win since an eternity?
Acola and Miya are just more concistent and play in the strongest region.
Just look at this top 8 with 5/8 players coming from Japan while players from the US and Mexico keep drowning in pools in Japan.
It's a big win for sure but Sparg0 knows himself that this ain't enough yet.
@@rannynihilius8481 It's just NA bias at this point. If a Japanese player won that wasn't Asimo or maybe Yoshidora, the whole comment section would be flooded with "Smash is dead. :(" like we've heard time and again.
Glad Spargo won, wish he would’ve gotten the run back on Acola but a dub is a dub. Also, Acola was happy that he beat Spargo but he’s got another demon in Sonix waiting for him.
Miya too is his demon
@@Youchus551 I’d say they’re more even but I think I Miya is up on the head to head.
@@oscar5012 I know but in their last matches Miya crushed
@@Youchus551Miya hasn’t beat spargo once
Sonix is more like his rival rather than his demon
People give Roy way too little credit in the mu I swear. 🔥 good stuff to Spargo he did his thing fr and I love to see it
Yup, speed relative to sonic's while also having kill power and disjoints to match. You can tell this is what spargo was going for with Aegis, but that drastic change in stats between both characters versus Roy who more or less has both is quite apparent.
@@saikyojushin370 yeah, that’s why I always thought the mu was +1 for Roy. People argue Sonic can edgeguard and ledgetrap him which is very true but he has mix against it. Sonic also is pretty easy for Roy to tech chase and his shield is easy for him to pressure (Sonic’s oos is pretty average and from the back he has nothing basically). Roy does have consistent ways of keeping bro in disadvantage fr while catching him out
If Spargo has to switch to another character other than Cloud
You know we have a problem
I don't think Sonic is as broken, honestly... sonix playstyle is lame AF, I know, but we as a community should demand for Steve to be banned. That's the real problem
@@charliesalazar3119 did you just say Sonic isn't broken?
@@charliesalazar3119 sonix plays super aggressive and only camps when he needs to or it'll guarantee him the win. Did you see him fight acola? He was the campy one. Or his match against raru? Ken is the one people think Sonix plays like

I can’t say Sparg0 is carried by Cloud anymore. He’s legitimately good at the game.
EE telling Spargo to thank his sponsor was gold 😂😂😂
最初からグータッチか握手かの読み合い始まってて好き
I didn't watch the entire tournament. I just saw the top 8, and I KNEW that Spargo vs Sonix was going to be the Grand Final. I was feeling it ! Love this rivalry, one of my favorite with the MKLeo/Tweek rivalry 🔥
No olvidar que la basura de Lumirank lo consideró como 9no... Un 9no lugar que se llevó dobles y singles de probablemente el torneo más difícil del año.
Simplemente en silencio hizo su trabajo y el tiempo pone a todos en el lugar que se merecen,por ahora sparg0 es el rey aunque a lumirank y sus japonesitos no les parezca
to be fair, sparg0 only won one major event and his losses during his japan trip were pretty rough. plus his only top 10 wins were 2 sets against shadic and light respectively. he didn't have any wins on the rest of the top 10.

sparg0 will always be everyone's fan favorite. the only thing he needs it consistency and his legacy cannot be denied. the new goat of smash bros after MKLEO
He's nowhere near as liked as someone like leo, zackray or tweek.
People just prefer him to win rather than acola or sonix
EE has done enough events to know to always thank your sponsors. Good save, man.
He didn't remember to call it Supernova instead of Smash Con though 😂But it's ok. It's probably gonna take some time to stick
面白かったわ、まじで楽しい2日間だった。
夏休みの楽しみが1つ終わっちゃったな...
Spargo is eventually gonna go through the whole roster. This Roy puts us one inch closer to him whipping out King Dedede in grands
I think Spargo noticed Roy is an even faster sword fighter, it fits better to his insane reaction and decision speed.
At this point Sparg0 it’s hard to not see Sparg0 as the goat. Without relying so heavily on DLC with a character that has lackluster recovery, he’s taken out the best in the world time and time again. He hasn’t been shaken by any meta changes or goofy play styles like Sonix timeouts, Steve, or G&W His only notable bracket demon is Mkleo, which was a previous #1. The consistency in his performance is amazing, and his headspace and respect for the game kind of trumps Leo’s. I can see why he’s the only Smash player to be picked up by FaZe. Let’s go SparGOAT
Is this the most successful character counterpick of all time? If not, it's very high up there.
Acola choosing pyra/mythra vs spargo was awesome too
mkleo’s ike vs maister at ultimate 32. And that was a reverse 6-0!
@@aaronevans7444incomparable, aegis was the second character in acola, however roy is not even among the 3 best characters in sparg0

Final atomic buster
CONGRATS TO SPARG0AT!! I met him at battle of bc 6, he was just walking around so I quickly asked for a picture. He is a respectful, humble, and peaceful individual. I am glad he walks among us and well deserved win!!!
Sparg0 was always a great player, but he really displayed that he's truly Leo's successor here. That was the best Roy play I've ever seen.
honestly bro besides Japan the only other reason why I love seeing Mexican players win is how humble they are. I’m also Mexican so I’m biased lol.

This boy Sparg0 was really like " aight, Sonix beat my Mythra and my Pyra again, and Pneuma is not in Smash... oh wait she kinda is, there's Roy ! " then proceeded to win the tournament with him despite barely playing the character before. MkLeo's Roy ? Hell, Kola's Roy ?

This is the only 30 minute grand finals I’ve seen before and instantly knew who won. First time I’ve ever seen a GF with Sonix not last nearly an hour
Both the players destined to win last years but got upset now in grands, the two who haven’t fought in grands since coinbox IRL now in grands again…smash storylines are great
Spargo is the best Mexican player ever! Congrats! I had my doubts when he switched Roy, but what a comeback!
agreed ! he surpass mkleo in skillwise by far
The audience *only* rooting for Spargo, and chanting when Sonix SDs is very toxic.
Sonix is one of the best players in the world, and his matches are insanely fun to watch. If we lose him from this dumb community's toxicity, it will be a very sad day for Smash.
Lmao crowd was hype it doesnt matter
Winner of doubles and singles with ease. Man, he's truly the GOAT.
If Leo is the Michael Jordan of Smash ultimate, Sparg0 is Kobe. Passing the torch from one killer to another
Shout out to Sonix for being the antagonist I didn't know I needed 😂
Sparg0 is going through that winner arc where he pics up a new character and still wins
SPOILERS:
Let's go Sparg0 own those LumiRank frauds. 9th in the world my ass. I hope he keeps the momentum for the rest of the season, this was a good start for the 1st in the world race.

Amazing game!! I gotta add I love when TK and E commentate. Just overall an amazing event.
LuminosityRank getting exposed? In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet.
The stats were still accurate. Sparg0 simply proved he was better than his recent performances and he will reclaim his spot at the top if he keeps playing this way.
5:42 The guy in the front with a Powerpuff Girls shirt, WHAT A LEGEND. 2. place for Sonix again 😭... Spargo played well though, so congrats to him, securing the victory using "our boy Roy".
As much as I hate SoniC, I really want SoniX to win something. Man grinds and studies like no one else. He beat the top 2 of Japan (and world), the top 3 of USA, and then fell to the top 1 of Mexico. Second at all the majors and supermajors he attended, mindblowing consistency, but also insane frustration for sure.
If this taught you anything: Sonix is #2, and Spargo is #1. Not no #9 or #3 bull crap.
The genius of the Roy pick is Sonix is so good at studying his opponents and prepping. When has Sparg0 ever used Roy in tourney? As amazing as Sonix is that pick must have thrown him off guard
2nd place again bc of the Roy jumpscare, sonix can’t catch a clean dub
Sparg0 played amazing! Congrats man!
But my goat this major was Sonix no doubt (huge props to Marss) his Losers run was one of the hardest runs Ive ever seen, he will get it soon, no doubt.
