LETSâA GO!!
Translate to English đ
I think itâs sick as hell that the only person to even take a game off of leo is the dude who is historic for taking a set off of leo
Literally lmao. Leo was on too much of a mission though. While I believe it could've very well still been 3-0 in Leo's favor, it would've been nice to see a third match between them.
@@rayquaza5001 this a badass reply you made frrl. And it was the damn truth.
Plus the fact that kurama made it to winners finals makes Leoâs return more poetic in a sense all he needed was to fight sparg0
Reminder that Kurama is campaigning for the next Summit. Let's help him make another one of these runs happen
Kurama is a beast. He makes Mario seem fun to play but he moves insane with him
He was always fun to play
@Sander L. yeah, when I'm just looking for fun mario is one of my go to guys.
mario has always been fun to play you capping bro
I can't believe Kurama peed on the carpet đđđ
Pee man
Where did this meme come from?
@@MarioSMG64 coney
â@@rixrobin what set was it?
@@liamm113 he says it most the time whenever he commentates a Mario set
5:30
I love that image of Mario doing the Wadi handshake
I think my favorite forward-air spike Kurama landed this weekend was the first stock he took on MkLeo.
With MkLeo at 32%, Kurama strikes with back-air into reverse neutral-air, then two up-airs, and finishing with an attempted forward-air. It whiffs. What does he do next? Midair jump back towards the stage, hit Leo (who was rushing to get back on stage with a ledge-jump neutral-air) with up-air on the way down, and immediately jump to forward-air him _again,_ landing it this time. This dude's forward-air punishes are so good that he even has *back-up strats* for them.
The way you explained this made me laugh. Kuramaâs strats have backup strats!
My favorite part was the âplatformerâ recovery he did against Acola. Absolutely godlike!!!
All top players have backup strats for their combos lmao. Come on now.
people when they find out frametrapping exists
The amount of work that goes into calculating all of this is wild
The man made Leo afraid to edge guard. He's a beast.
He also was pixels away from winning game three vs mkleo. That sequence at around 12:15 was mind-blowing
Dark wizzy even admitted that kurama was the best Mario.
When was this?
Ofc he did lol he knows the truth
Let's not forget that kuramas only losses were to MkLeo (best in world) and Acola (second best) and he was the only person to take a game off leo
Acola top 4. Proto or Light imo both are over him going off eye test.
@@lyrics2challenged good picks, for sure, I need to see more but imo proto was poised to be the best in the world. But everyone said acola is best in Japan so I went off that
And Dabuz in poold
Kurama deserves so much attention, he's been bomb
huh??? u said he needs attention but say he's "been" bomb. so ur saying he's been getting attention
@@vvindicator just because someone is great doesn't mean he's been getting the attention he deserves
Have been watching this kid play since his Smash 4 days back in 2015. Been incredible to see Junior rise up the ranks!
Thank you for the Mario Tennis 64 music! Motoi Sakuraba forgot he wasnt composting for a JRPG I swear to God haha
This is why we gotta be more careful with our untrained puppies
10:10 The classic Sparg0 rage
The fact that this man just shows up at my locals to pick up a weekly check is hilarious to me
I admired Prodigy's (Kurama now) mario before and even more when he got to beat Leo's joker in frostbite, he just improved much more now in Ludwig's invitiational
Love analysis videos like this, wish every esport had a guy like you. Keep it up!
kurama is insane sometimes man. remember prodigy at frostbite 2020?
You mean Frostbite 2020?
@@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569 you mean frostbite 2023?
@@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569 oh yeah sorry same thing, 2017 was still smash 4 actually wasnât it. My mistake
Love the data viz, great work!
These videos đ. The stats, so nerdy â€ïž
man i really love these analysis
Chris Pratt would be proud
I hope to see something about that Ice Climbers player, I know he didn't do as well but an ICIES player at such an invitational doing well isn't heard of much if at all
Didn't he 3-0 Light, the #1 seed?
We did a deep dive on Big Dâs GOML run a couple months back! He showcased mostly the same kind of stuff at LSI. czcams.com/video/Wava26i-bhw/video.html
Big D is so hype
Mario has always been a good character. He has tools to deal with the majority of the roster and Kurama shows it really well. Swordies and range do give him some trouble but he's still a threat in this game and I can Kurama getting better and better as time passes.
seeing Kurama's Mario now is like what seeing Light's optimised Fox emerge or Sparg0's Cloud emerge in 2021... suddenly the character just looks absolutely broken because they've optimised the shit out of them but aren't purely hold forward offense
These charts are amazing. Shout out to the data analysts!!!
I love the Marioâs did nothing for three years and then in October they start doing crazy stuff
Wow, you've really dedicated your life to this game. You should be an announcer
Time to play Mario again! â€ïž
I was like kurama came out of no where, "previous known as prodigy" OOOOOHHHHHHHH I that makes sense. California best not so hidden boss lmao
CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER? SO HIGH, SO HIGHHH~
OHHH OHH OHH
this man's option select is uncrackable, from my experience. exciting to see him succeed!
Kurama absolutely destroyed Leo at Frostbite 2020 under the tag Prodigy I remember
Mario came for all the smoke, he got a movie coming out soon. Gotta get that exposure.
âI ainât gon sugarcoat itâ
I've been a fan since that Frostbite tournament you all know about
Marioâs everywhere on qp now đ
Yoooođđđcan you guys link that Mario picture for my computer lock screen
MARIO MAINS STAND UP!!!
What a beast...
that cloud play was absolutely crazy
"Unprecedented!"
"Here's 3 other people that did this."
đ
Insert mario movie joke here
3:45 the text is incorrectly written. Should probably be '4/9 (44%) Stocks Taken < 60%' . The way it reads currently is something like "4 of 9 (or 44%) stocks taken at 60% or more". Not to detract from the great summary the video provides, just something i noticed.
Mario has always been better than lame Aegis
No but heâs still really good
He's always been snubbed from pgr because he doesn't attend enough tournaments. He's never been the guy to win it all, but he almost always outplaces his seeding and gets a respectable finish
any reason why we talk about prodigy clip vs mkleo at frostbite while mentionning kurama?
Kurama is prodigy changed his tag
Yâall keep forgetting that this dude 3-0d Mkleo in Frostbite 2019 back when he was Prodigy. Most explosive player in Smash.
Foward-aerial
So, quick question for anyone that knows. When they say "HE DIED AT 70??" does that mean before the killing blow, or when hitting the blast zone?
Before the killing blow.
At :33 seconds.. how does he land like that on the platform?!
What is the name of the music playing through the whole video?
3 different songs from the Mario Tennis OST
I literally can't focus on the graphic at 5:57. It is triggering some sort of depth perception illusion for me.. but its pretty cool...
take a shot every time he landed a Fair spike this entire tourney
take a shot every time he did a ladder combo to kola in that one set alone
One of the best chris pratt players other than dark wizzy
The best* including Dark Wizzy. He's getting better again but Prodigy/Kurama>Mario let's be real. Thought Wizzy's history is no slouch whatsoever.
Best character of all time.
i didn't realize kurama was prodigy lmaooo
Me neither
IMO he had the most exciting games at ludwig's. I would much rather see him than leo or spargo
Ehhh, I could definitely go without the Cloud, but I enjoy seeing top level Byleth. Shit just feels so exciting imo when he smacks that fair or bair tipper.
He took 1 game from MKLeo with GOAT mode activated, enough said
So are nairo and samsora fully allowed back into the community??
OPEN THE GATE!
He got dat (pissing) dog in 'em
Ya remember 2019 frostbite mkleo vs prodigy mario? That's all I'm saying
cool video
Kurama in 2026 is gonna get a pgstats video for not getting jv4ed by Leo in grands
I do enjoy when people donât DI ladders correctly and die for it, itâll still do a lot of damage though. Believe me Iâd still be maining Mario after 500 hours of specific character practice if ladders killed.
i just read the title adn facts
I hope we see him winning more stuff soon, unlike darkwizzy who looks kinda lame most of the time kurama looks really sick and really fnu to watch
The mario movie boosted him
If you want to beat mario just donât let him pee on the carpet
To me his match against Tea was the most impressive. He only lost to the two best players in the world MKLeo and acola.
YAAAAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I feel like Zenyou doesnât get enough credit⊠Not hating on kurama though heâs a beast
People be sleeping on Mario
naaahh theres literally no one close to this caliber of mario
@@Chris-dy1cb Ik kurma's mario just built diff he gunna be the reason gunna be a wanna be kurma mario main
Only thing I donât like about kurama is his outfit choice other then that he might be my favorite player to watch right now.
Yeh I hate that alt. Either that or the hard hat replaced the red and white fire ball alt.
Itâs a me Mario
kurama is the biggest chart creator in the games history
YAHOOOOOO
A lot of errors in those statistics
Great video but what the fuck was that music?
omg my boy nairo getting mentioned again
Good luck surviving against bell pressured that long if you're not a main steve*
Redefined? You mean just playing the character how he should be? Lol
Kurama had a much harder bracket than Leo.
Acolaâs bracket was much harder than the both of them. Beat chag ddog dabuz light riddles onin sparg0 and kurama to get 2nd losing to Leo twice and zomba
@@okayperson3041 dabuz's bracket too because he got the leo joker
Mkleo was projected to play everybody he did to get to winners finals except for tea who was the 6th seed.
Kurama played Mario and not a DLC privilege character too.
@@empyrium1516 Aight bro, if you say that cuz of byleth then you're very wrong lol mario is way better than byleth. Steve on the other hand...
Leo was just surprised at how explosive kuruma was at Frostbite and thatâs when he got cheesed by kurama but at Ludwigâs he already know how kurama plays and wonât underestimate kurama like at frostbite which is why kurama took the l simply because heâs the worst player and canât beat leo when leo tries because leo is just better lolâŠ
Downplaying him getting 3rd is kinda silly. Leo is a god, but this Mario is damn good.
Bro, what level of copium?? "When Leo tries" he was playing Joker back then lmao, and got washed before going on to massacre the loser's bracket. Better play won the set that day. Better play won their set this past weekend too. Sometimes you lose.
he 3-0d leo at lmmm lolâŠ
Whatâs crazy is that not only was he the only person to take a game off of Leo, but he almost took the second. If his up-b didnât pull a ZSS and actually worked, he mightâve actually beat Leo, which is pretty crazy
still not as god as Leo đ
#bannairo
This is some of the best journalism out there, and the fact that it covers a bunch of 20-30 year old virgins playing a game made for 10 year olds makes it all the more brilliant
This fool is desperate for some đ
me when I feel like being pathetic
Me when I gatekeep videogames:
Excuse me, but people who already had intercourse are not more valuable. It is the opposite, they sold their body
L bait. Go watch some andrew tate or whatever
It's a me Mario
