Man, Esam certainly has been training alot recently. Would like to see how he fares in the boxing ring
Underrated comment.
Lmfao
Perhaps he would face off against a homosexual, after referring to them with a racial slur. Just a thought
@@benrowinsky1057 if you think that is the worst Esam has said you are mistaken.
Andrew Andrews I don’t, i was just finishing the meme
Fatality: *trying really hard to recover*
ESAM: *”BOOSH! This matchup sucks!”*
I guess that "sucks" is a relative term
Imagine being optimistic about the Pika matchup being "not... THAT bad..." lmao
Exactly what I was thinking
Also, Esam is a god. So there’s that as well
it's not that bad compared to some of Falcon's other bad matchups.
CrossoverFan4life like what? Pichu? 😂I absolutely hate pika falcon matchup,anyone else isnt as sufferable
@@unkn0wnmortaL Inkling and GnW
"How to beat a pikachu? I will demonstrate that right now" Well you technically did beat the pikachu, just not as many times as you wanted
Didnt he say try to?
People complain about sonic but being stuck in one of pikachu's aerial loops is a special kind of hell
I felt this
Pika has always been not fun to fight against. Since the days of 64. Though back in 64, Falcon actually matched up better with Pika than he does now.
@@niccolovanible1001 melee pika is not great, brawl Pika is really good but not MK, same in Smash 4 but Bayo. But yeah pika basically top 10 in every smash game ever.
Sonic has to time you out or make you rage quit while pika has the option to do anything, from camping you, being aggressive, edge guarding you for all your stocks, at this point a pikachu worst disadvantage is losing and not being able to choose how to beat their opponent
DeAd MeMe Quick attack = get out of disadvantage free card
Falcon: *Is in disadvantage for half a second*
Pikachu: HIPPITY HOPPITY YOUR STOCK IS NOW MY PROPERTY
This year we lost Nairo's iron man attempts and ZeRo's undercover videos, but we gained this awesome first to 10 series! Oh, an Coney's caster crashing too! I love that!
F in chat for our fallen legends, they may have done some terrible misdeeds but no one can deny the personality both of them added to the scene
@@Alex-kc7tp yeah I would like to see in the future how we are going to deal with the people that were caught in this cancel culture thing.
@@luansomething380 It's not even cancel culture
Luan Something ehh, I wouldn’t quite equate what happened with those two as being “caught in cancel culture.” They partook in serious criminal sexual misconduct. Any one of us would also lose our jobs if caught doing the same.
Nairo and Zero being outed from the smash community is no different than you or I being fired from our place of employment for committing the same acts.
@@mattnowacki7768 I agree with most of your point, but as they were public figures in a sense, it indeed applies to cancel culture as the way the community erased them from the public mind after what happened. People in chats telling that they don't know who they are and stuff. Totally an extension of cancel culture and not just a "they got fired" situation.
Me as a ganon main... Understandable have a nice day.
Ganon dies at the character select screen
@@Kara-de5cz but he also kills people at the character select screen
Ganons are the kid that play football for the friends and to have a good time, Pikachus are the kid that drill people in the knees for talking to much.
Playing against Ganon as a lightweight is easy and fun unless you make three mistakes.
Fatality: Don’t you dare switch characters!
Also Fatality: *Internal Suffering*
The main issue is the frequency at which Pikachu gets to kill Falcon at essentially 0 just off an infinite variety of ways to gimp him off landing a simple aerial lol. Anytime that didn't happen the games were close.
Yeah it felt like Fatality would fight hard for one game then just get gimp 3 stocked the next.
Gawaiiiiiin we miss your videos
@@satiii4248 lol hello again. Maybe someday I will return
That's Pikachu in general yeah
@@amazinness4131 yeah if it isnt for CF getting gimmped like that, it would make it a decent match up
Both Esam and Fatality are amazing players. I love seeing them play
Go boxing ring.
Go boxing ring.
Ik you said it wasn’t tht bad, but it’s obvious this mu is like +2 (maybe worse). 1The nuetral is mostly pika favor bc small and t jolt. 2. Falcon can’t rly stop pika from pressing any of their aerials on shield and holding shield with get u grabbed and falcon is tall and heavy= combo food. 3. Falcon can’t even push advantage like at all bc how susceptible he is to reverse edge guarding by pika, and every thing he can do to get out of disadvantage is a hard commitment. This is just like pikas ideal opponent, a brawler who has to fight up close with an easy to hit recovery and little oos options
@Leandro Ugiete lol your reply was fantastic XD.
Jacob Alexander it might be +1 offline now but we have to wait and see.
Imagine if Falcon Punch was useful. Lol. What if they made it multihit for the same damage? Or if it was a shieldbreaker? If they gave it a vacuum windbox it would be so much fun lol.
Falcon is actually one of the few characters who can actually deal with tjolt tho. Falcon kick close goes through it now thanks to the start up dmg buff. Still one of our worst mus but not gnw level for sure.
If you watch the set and count pikachu deaths, 25% of the time esam just makes a dumb mistake and kills himself with 0 interaction from fatality. Esam nerfs pikachu just by playing the way he does (holding forward and pressing his fastest option).
If pikachu was in the hands of someone like Marrs, MK, or tweek, pikachu would easily be the best character with the least counter play and interaction of any character in the game.
Not just my opinion either, marrs, mk, esam himself, zero and nairo before the scandal, m2k, tweek, leffen, and so many other players with legendary names think pikachu is just as good if not better than joker.
Just that esam drops these games is a testament to the skill of fatality and the ability of esam to outplay himself.
Fatality: Doesn't give the homie stock
Esam: 3-0's him two games in a row
That’s exactly why he didn’t homie stock
@@Erik_Montesinos Idk man the game ended up being crazy close anyway. Looks alot worse from the audience perspective when the person still almost loses with the free stock lead
Zeekybby you’re helping me prove my point. If fatality homie stocked he would’ve had an even less chance of winning. The matchup is booty cheeks.
Erik M. Lol this is a casual set dude. I get that the matchup sucks, but if theres nothing on the line why not. I get that no one is necessarily entitled to a homie stock. But in this case I’d rather lose at even odds than know that I barely won only because the enemy SD’d ( and Fatality has shown that he can win without it). Doesn’t feel as satisfying and looks twice as bad on your part
@@Xckeyl I don't think Fatality cares about "looking bad" in that way, nor should anyone really. Just like you said it's a casual set and no one is entitled to homie stock, just leave it at that.
Q: How to beat Pikachu?
Fatality: i want to know
Dude this was such a hype set!! You guys are my favorite players, so definitely a treat to watch you two duke it out. I can tell that the matchup is still rough, but raptor boost seems to make so much of a difference. I feel like Falcon gets so much more mileage to help contest Pika's damage output. Fatality had some amazing plays using raptor boost. As for ESAM his upair bridges we're incredible, no doubt. He's amazing performing those online so consistently. I don't think people understand how difficult it is to do that. Thanks for an awesome set!
Did somebody say, suffering?
Your profile picture relates perfectly with your comment XD
Amazing content my dude keep it up! Loving ur first to 10 series love ya man!
The rat is terrifying
Esam is, yes.
Spicy rat
The rat with glasses right?
The mouse type pocket monster based on a lagomorph
Whenever Fatality is winning Esam just grabs him at 30 for bridges to death, this character is insane
17:41 frame 1 projectile
I wasn't even playing and I felt bullied by ESAM's Pikachu. 😢
This man, fatality, has quickly becomed my most respected and favorite smash player. His amazing level of skill combined with his wholsome personality is just captivating. I'll be rooting for him in any event or tournament. ¡Acábalos!
Man, you recovery with captain falcon is amazing, best I ever seen... You make him look like he has an easy recovery. My respect
I didn't think Fatality would get to play his apparel ad in this video.
Hey fatality, been following you for like 4 years now. You're a big inspiration for me c:
Esam’s pickachu always gives me anxiety. I would panic so hard going up against it. I feel like I couldn’t breathe.
How to beat pikachu:
1. Pick captain falcon
2. Press home button
3. Turn off switch
4. Lol you cant
I haven’t seen fatality so concentrated in a while
god, just the sound of pikachu being played is making my blood boil
Joris Kerseboom lol I bet you play ness or Terry.
@@brandonatkins3737 I thought Ness was good against Pika.
No, I play king K rool. I have 0 chance against a pikachu. And I’m also not a super good player, so even an okay pika will slap my shit harder than I can take.
*Fcking Pi sound intensifies*
I like how this is essentially just how the melee match up works, just without chaingrabs
Or without strong knee l cancelling into grab
34:15 if fatality hadn't of whiffed that grab, Esam would have been in big trouble! Good set
he really went boxing ring.
That's not funny anymore. In fact it has never been.
@@Kara-de5cz you have 2 likes he has 14 hmmmm
@@lymmy9609 maybe because there are a bunch of anti-progressists
@@Kara-de5cz eh, it's still pretty fuckin funny
Can someone explain
Really sick set between my 2 favorite players.
DUDE that first match had me on the edge of my seat.. I felt the tension from here xD
people who play pikachu look up and down before crossing the street
I feel stressed watching this
I actually could not wait to see this match....Epic!
You're the reason i picked up falcon boi
@1:27
The audible pain...... I felt that in my soul.
Spike • Lol absolute dross.
You guys should’ve gone boxing ring.
14:39 you have my respect for this a bad mu isn't always fun yet you wanted to go through with it and learn in the process
I love fatality but he's definitely way too optimistic about the Pika matchup, easily a -1 close to a -2, not as much hell as G&W but a good Pika like Esam who makes deep offstage chases can gimp Falcon and combo him hard
Doesn't Fatality think it's -1 or close -2 though?
9:55 i swear thats the nastiest edgeguards ive ever seen. Esams conversions are insane
That was fun to watch
Incredible set. I think if Fatality stayed the FUCK away from the ledge though, it would have gone much better.
I know falcon normally gets free stocks with things like a well timed knee at the ledge, but in this matchup if falcon is remotely near the ledge he is instantly at death percent.
Plus Pikachu is nearly impervious to being gimped, so I think it's best to treat the edge as LAVA
13:35 Zarpado ese doble trueno
fatality’s triple back air DI is immaculate, ive never seen it sent at that angle and it looks like ESAM didnt know what to do too
It’s amazing how despite Pikachu seemingly being able to destroy falcon and get 3 stocks, Fatality is just as able to answer with his own 3 stocks destruction.
"I think we lose to Pikachu...but is not that bad.."
- six games later (SpongeBob screen) -
12:37 "OMG here we go again..."
Now THIS is content
I always felt like pik was too op when off stage. He can literally get back on stage even at high %
I got to wait till I get home to watch your videos on my laptop cuz I can’t get through 20 seconds without an Ad popping up on my phone. 😂
So to beat Pikachu you have to be 10 times better in every skill non character related
Fatality and esam upload pog
Ironic. You and esam both posted at the same time. Loving the ft10s
Tbh at this point ironic should just have another definition like "funny coincidence" since so many ppl use it like that
@@pintojaluk7742 oh yea. Whoops just realised I used it wrong.
Fatality: Wait... It's all disadvantage state????
ESAM: Always has been *t-jolts him in the back*
Fatality's face when esam SD in the second match is hilarious😂👌🏾
This is like watching to gods clash
Gotta start hitting those stomp->knee attempts man!
Wifi messes it up, yeah, but that stuff steals stocks. Really can't afford to go for it if it won't land.
When real life starts up again, those stomp->knees are gonna be a big part of whether or not our boi can make top 10. Falcon needs those early kills / edgeguarding opportunities!
He really needs to start going for stomp into pivot/turnaround knee like the melee falcons do. I'm the best ultimate falcon in my state and those early kills save me all the time in bracket.
I was thinking the same thing. He messed it up too many times in this set
@@coveryourears3851 it's pikachu. There's like two 5% windows to get stomp knee before 100%. also this is the best pikachu in the world
@@jiffylou98 not talking about this specific set! In general, never seen him hit one and he's the best falcon in the world, lab it out Griffin! I'm a scrub and I can hit it
@@jiffylou98 but yes ofc online and pika both make it difficult to get this, I'm aware but offline on human characters and spacies it's pretty free.
2:53 the PERFECT time to put that partnership!
This just proves that if you learn a character and put in the time and effort, you can make them look top tier
and then you still lose to an actual top tier
coronagalvez19 I mean not much you can do about Esams pikachu🤷♂️
@@SPOOKYSCARYBOY exactly my point, sometimes at these top levels, it does really come down to matchup. The fact is that Pikachu is a terrible matchup for falcon, hence why I said he still loses to an actual top tier.
coronagalvez19 call in the Ike!🤣
@@SPOOKYSCARYBOY XD exactly
when are we getting 1080p?
Tell you what, game 13 he was feelin’ himself. That was sick.
Those lingering hit boxes kill me inside
This is definitely a bad falcon matchup, but Fatality got a lot of mileage out of raptor-boosting through Esam's landing aerials and spacing up-smash well.
How to beat esam: say boxing ring 🗿
Iron Spider-ball Esam : 0 - Iron Spider-ball : 1
ESAM:
*"No! This isn't how you are supposed to play the game!"*
@Loco Coco boxing ring
Griffith go boxing ring

The offledge combo that ended at 6:02 had me feeling salty man
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Falcon mains have a prescience problem. I noticed this in myself, and maybe I'm just seeing it the wrong way, but it appears to me that falcon mains have a tendency to make the right read very often, but execute the punish FAR TOO EARLY. And then their enemy glides down just after the attack finishes, and Falcon gets punished.
Thats wifi input delay for ya
This is kinda random, but have you looked into Wolf as a secondary. I main wolf and I think he beats Game and Watch, Inkling, and only slightly loses to Pika.
This is fatality typing right now yea 🐺 is my other main youll see me playing him at grand finals at big bash
"how to beat pikachu?"
fatality: well, I'll spam random upsmash
Freaking insane man
Basically you need to soul-read your opponents without getting caught in a backair chain, grab, or spot-dodge to down smash.
1:09 Captain Falcon up-smash outranges Pikachu's up-smash
1:09
Lol
Ground hitbox beeg
That 4th Match = Pain
i swear fatality is a living god, i get so pessimistic when i see him playing against characters that are just absolutely better in every way. like i cannot take this game seriously ever because of the fact that some characters are so better suited to winning under tournament conditions. but fatality never ceases to amaze. it’s just a damn shame that such a mind is put to a system of numbers where there is no ambiguity for truth.
edit:
actually that may have been a nearsighted evaluation. it’s possible that fatality gets his opportunity to present his skills only through a character who is like falcon, despite advantages or clear disadvantages. so perhaps there is no misfortune whatsoever.
How to beat Pikachu? Select Hero and fish for good menu spells like Bounce and Kaboom. Works for me on Elite Smash.
Fatality, you should do a video where you let fans play you in some Captain Falcon dittos and see who can take a game in a best of 5. I want to be your first challenger :D
Lmao
www.twitch.tv/fatalityfalcon you can even do it live
Your are tremendo !!! Fatality !! Let's goooooo
Esam's Pikachu seems godlike
18:40 I swear to God if that was a 0 to death I would have SHITTED myself.
Did they make side be into knee a thing???? I swear ive been hitting and seeing that a hell of a lot more lately
Feel like a much needed bringing back down to earth. I'm a fan, but your character got brutally buffed to all hell, you can do things that if you dont misstime or mess it up for the most part they are unbeatable, i watched all your first to 10s and you get pretty smug at times with just near broken counters and recoveries, one of your first, infant FT10's was with Esam, only he played Min Min the whole time, i always wondered how Pikachu would go, the size of pikachu may/may not impact your combos etc.. but with pikachu's slightly busted recoveries ontop of Esam piloting it and his unmatched offstage game, this result is unsuprising and perhaps a little bit of an ego check, while you've been out here bodying characters with heavily exploitable recoveries and limited outs. This was a good session, i feel like Esam just played his game and you got a bit of a reality check (NO HATE). This will grow you.
Bruh what, Falcon is somewhere around high tier it's not like the buffs made him broken, and his options are far from unbeatable like you say. Fatality is a humble and honest guy, I don't know where at all you got the idea that he was being smug in his FT10's and that this is some sort of reality check or ego check for him? Everyone knows that Falcon VS Pikachu is one of Falcon's worst match ups, losing this isn't going to hurt his ego or anything especially when he's lost harder in some of his other FT10s lol
@@TheFullPackage Quickly: Falcon wasn't high tier before, not a debate about tiering, whatever he is, its significantly higher than he was. Again, i'm a fan, and im not saying he's dishonest, he was confident perhaps even overconfident early on, and im not saying hes a bad person or wrong for it, i'm aware of the matchup, he's said himself other matchups are more even or Falcon wins, so in next offline tourney against fatality everyone just goes pikachu ? :) , no, but he's got some areas of personal investment.
@@tcurtsed7754 Falcon was somewhere around mid tier and is now somewhere around high tier yes, but like I said it's not like he's broken now or has "unbeatable" options like you said? Right but you were calling this a reality check and an ego check, and I'm telling you how it absolutely isn't, especially considering the fact that everyone knows this matchup is almost impossible and Fatality has lost harder to other characters/players in his other FT10s anyway. I don't think you're hating on Fatality or anything just wanted to clear some things up that you said
@@TheFullPackage I understand, and i think to some extent we're almost on the same page, i use the term 'broken' as a one word easier way of saying how improved the buffs made it, i guess for example sake, the Falcos, fox's, ken, ryu, ganon, list goes on with linear recoveries, you know where they're going all you have to do is tap them during and they're dead :) he's had alot of those. I could elaborate on the ego/reality comments in great detail, but i wont. you're all welcome :)
Well said. He needed that injection of reality
Fatality: We loose to Pikachu but its not that bad
Also Fatality: *Gets fucked by Pikachu* *Gets 3 stocked* *gets 0 to death*
13:52 when you’re a Falcon main and you challenge a Pikachu main to a first to ten
LOL
muy bien peleado bro
This matchup always seems to be very momentum driven. I know that shouldnt be a factor on paper, but it really seems to go that way.
Where can we sign up for the captains quarters as a twitch sub
Smash.gg
@@DavionLane thank you
Fatality you mad mad man...I know how this will go already 😅. But happy to see you give it your best shot!!
Edit: Watches Fatality take first stock--game. "FATALITY LET'S GOOOOOOO!!"
weird how often 6-10s happen on this
The MU is better than it used to be, but it still looks like a -2. Pikachu's got combos that basically unplug the Falcon players controller. They're the kind of combos no character should have.
Pikachu out of backair is flatter than Kansas
I don't think I can manage to sit through this one... Gotta sit out this time, friends.
Fatality do you think you'll hit the PGRU whenever offline comes back?
That’s his goal
I hope for Fatality vs Elegant first to 10 you can tell because of my pf
HIW DO YOU STAY SO CALM I DONT GET IT! Id prabably have thrown my controller after the losing twice, i envy your mental fortitude
It's crazy how friggin good that esam is with this character
Fatality: How to beat Pikachu?
Smash 64: *you can't*
Idk. 64 Falcon actually fares decently against 64 Pika. In that game it's Kirby that gives Falcon the business.
Heck yeah man.
Lol boxing ring
