This match was closer than you think, especially when Nicko saved Andrik at 14:02... It had my butt clenched the whole way

[@nomado.3855]

It's been a while that I haven't seen Nicko's Shulk, way to go amigo.

[@imspiralsoul]

Love to see more of Nicko's shulk.

[@sirunknown6688]

Nicko is soo good gg one of my favorite players 👍

[@jonathanlgill]

same

[@BlazePascal22]

Andrik played this match up amazingly. On paper it seems awful for falcon but his awareness in netural and offstage was great. Loved seeing the adaptation and specifically the parrys coming out.

[@rodgeers7347]

Yeah it feels like it should be bread and butter for shulk but I don't find it all that bad considering all of shulk's moves have some starup to them

[@dogyX3]

Andriks adaption was really good. 12:15 like here he threw an Up B out from pretty far away, but against Jump Shulk, that's a good move to do
I find that Cpt. Falcon is one of Shulk's best mu imo. He's really easy to land hits on (tall, quite floaty, quite heavy) , but especially when he's recovering.
It's not a free mu, but it doesn't help that Cpt. Falcon can have a very linear gameplan. Also, his combos are pretty easy to escape with monados

Always love nicko shulk

[@jaimeruiz7837]

You know what I hate about smash... how you can't ledge guard like before.

[@benjimiguel17]

you mean just grabbing ledge and it being gg like melee? that's lame af

[@conversationstranglersteve9873]

This is random, but Nicko reminds me of Brian Ortega for some reason lol

[@Hero-jx6zs]

Damn whos this shulk?!???

[@benjimiguel17]

best Shulk in NA, Nicko

[@cesarTorres-lj1df]

Lol andrik deserved that game 4 lmao, that upsmash missed by 1 o 2 frames

[@willycheez7218]

Are you talking about the up smash that is -7 on shield and should've been punished but can't be? Yeah no

[@cesarTorres-lj1df]

@@willycheez7218 im not talking about anything of what you said, he had the read, it just missed by 1 frame, just by doing the read and acting according to punish, he deserves the win

[@sandersirpa8391]

@@cesarTorres-lj1df no fue un read, lo vio rodando y reaccionó rápido, yo también puedo decir que Nicko merecía el juego 4 por reaccionar rápido al golpe y usar el escudo.

[@cesarTorres-lj1df]

@@sandersirpa8391 no fue reaccion, fue condicionamiento a un read, andrik ya estaba cargando el upsmash cuando apenas estaba iniciando el roll, para un humano es imposible reaccionar tan rapido

[@cesarTorres-lj1df]

@@sandersirpa8391 ves como hace antihops en la orilla a la altura de normal get up? Esos antihops son para amenazar tanto al normal get up con un grab, como un back air a jump get up y un down air a drop jump attack.
Las unicas 2 opciones eran get up attack y roll, andrik en su ultimo salto avanza a la posicion perfecta para hacer punish al roll, eso fue antes del roll, desde ahi empieza el read que se dio a lugar gracias al condicionamiento

Are these commentators sped or something?

All I care about is the gameplay
