@PrettyPieHead I agree that people get preoccupied with those latching pikmin. But nietono can evade approaching opponents well and usually beats them in close quarters
Larry shoulda won this ... looks like he got freaked out by the pikmins so he used alot of time shaking them off instead of reflecting new incomers. That, and minor spacing errors I've rarely seen him do
Why did Larry keep phantasming on-stage? I could be wrong, but it could have been:
1. Phantasm DESTROYS most of Olimar's options, so logically Falcos use it more in this matchup, one of the underlying reasons why it's a tougher MU for Olimar. I think Larry was just getting greedy with phantasm (after Nietono got his spacing right for delivering punishes,) when he should have been safely going for the ledge.
2. He got nervous and missed the ledge by mistake. (It's Apex, so yeah.)
@q0zi But nietono gets a lot of kills with red up smashes

@erickgm15 The frame trap is done to punish air dodges though.

Great match though, very entertaining. Congrats to the Japanese for their outstanding performance this year, as well as some of our U.S.A. smashers!

@djmikeaaronr It's just how Falco's role ;d. Nah, I just think the phantasm's were to kill all the weak pikmin, decreasing his grabs etc.

Any reason why Larry keeps phantasm is super obvious ways after getting killed for it multiple times?

GGs! I knew Nietono could win against the Olimar slayer.

Excuse me if I'm wrong about something, but shouldn't have Larry been trying to side b to the ledge more vs. Oli rather than straight onto the stage?

Larry needed to Side B cancel more when recovering..
