  • This is a "thoughtful" video. =p

  • ykyuky

    

  • 3:48 Ken with the mindgames. I miss him. ♥

  • i play sheik better than you for sure

  • Wow Im watching this today lol

  • DSF really picked it up at the end of the match. Until then, Ken had some pretty nice control over the match.

  • Ken has definitely done better.

  • theyre reall good, but they dont use dodge alot. y is that? some times a dodge is better than trying a shieldgrab..

  • @glboye I guess cuz it was 06 and the meta wasn't at that level yet...i'm sure if they replayed the match it would be a lot different.

  • The good old days

  • 4real

  • i tought ken was gona win

  • i look down for a second just before the video starts to see you ruined it for me, thanks.

  • u should nevr look at the comments b4 the videos over

  • I learned that today.

  • Good match.

  • you suck

  • DSF is too sick!

  • i don't see what's so "sick" about him. he has a pretty boring sheik, if you ask me.

  • I know he's not flashy like CJ but as HMW would say, it gets the job done.

  • he's always boring

  • but hhis recovery tactic is phenomenal!

  • ya, nothing special

  • aww. ken lost :(

  • the sound is fucking way off after 2:00. WHAT THE FUCK THIS VIDEO IS SUPPOSED TO BE ENJOYABLE! FUCK

  • jaja KEn tubo su Owned joajoa

  • como odio esos kunais de sheik!!!!!!!!!! ¬¬

  • Bravissimooo sheik!!

  • u wouldnt kill him he'll knock u off the ledge and then grab it an pull himself up so mine as well minus ur percentage ur taking by moving out of the way

  • Wait.. nealdt? From AiB?

  • Yep, he used to be about quality gaming.

  • you're an idiot

  • fuck brawl

  • brawl sucks compared to melee, but Nealdt>>>>>>>your entire life xD

  • Dude I got no Beef with Nealdt, he's a good man.

  • @maxisku2 ilovemax

  • I find it hilarious how the marth metagame has evolved so much in the past few years and the shiek metagame looks exactly same.

  • Nah, you're just not watching the unique Sheiks. And I'm being serious lol

  • Well He does speak the truth that Marth's metagame drastically changed over the years in melee with pioneers like ken and m2k, however Shiek top tier metagame has not expierienced much evolution, and she has a high learning curve like marth and her truepotenical was found quickly, however, people like KDJ did make it even better, however marth's metagame flucuated at an amazing rate and got better and better, if the SBR had a tier list when When M2k mained marth, he could have been ranked #1

  • whoevere said Ken is boring to watch is so retarded

  • that twas 9 months ago i got much respect for him now ..o.o

  • When Marth UpBs to an edgehogger, if he's good like ken then he'll time it so that the move will take him just over the edge which means that if they try and hold the ledge they'll get hit (and he'll grab the edge) and if they try to roll he'll land just on the tip of the edge or just high enough for him to fall back and grab it before they have a chance to hit him out of the roll

  • its sorta hard to edgehog a marth cuz he can hit u off when he tries to get up

  • hey anything goes to win... but i fukin hate when my friends do that shit....

  • well it's call edge gauring just never letting them comeback on

  • KEN IS BORING TO WATCH,

  • Marth lose but marth(ken) is better then DSF

    who is better roy or marth?

  • marth, much more

  • DSF's a beast.

  • was that mostly marth's smarshes or side and b?

  • the only advanced technique i discovered in brawl was shffling and that still doesn't work nearly as well as in melee.. wavedashing, l-cancelling, teching, etc are all gone..

  • KEN IS KING OF SMASH

  • Good luck with that.

  • How did dsf suck if he beat ken?

  • no ken was just too good

  • damn ken is amazing, i used to think me and my friends were alright just cause we mastered a couple of pro techniques and we know some good things with characters, i was also considering entering teh gamestop super smash brawl tournament but now i think about it, there definitly are so many better people than me and my group of friends, haha

  • finally someone that is intelligent. I salute you.

  • no harm in trying. brawl lost many of the pro techniques of melee and many ppl haven't played a lick of the game before.

  • brawl lost alot of the pro combo's too because of the new jumping techniques, where they fall to the ground almost imedently :(

  • yea brawl got whacked with the nerf stick a little bit. pro players arent going to do as well in brawl as they did in melee.

  • Im confused as to what you guys are talking about... Ive played both games, was never very good at all, but how do you mean pro players won't do as well? players that are better then other players will still win the majority of the games right?

  • l-cancelling and wave dashing was took away, it's harder to edgeguard now, and sometimes edgehog, because pratically everyones recovery's in brawl can make it back to the stage.

  • Basically with melee the metagame was much greater (as well as a character can possibly perform) this was greatly due to advanced techs like wavedashing and l canceling and shfflng. Those are taken out of brawl and there are few known advanced techs and none so far that break the game like l canceling did. Better players will still win regardless but those who were good at melee may not be as good at brawl

  • shuffling is still in brawl... brawl is quite a bit slower though so godly-fast reflexes are not needed. Just pretty good reflexes enough

  • sorry i'm not really good at this game whats wavedashing and l canceling and shufflng?

  • Dont worry, you dont need to worry about that in casual play. Its not a huge deal. But basically each of them are taking advantage of exploits in the games physics engine to alter movement speed and attack frames.

    They all speed up the game in different ways to sum up quickly. Search it on this site

  • Yeah, I think that pro tournaments are going to continue using Melee, there's just not enough metagame in Brawl.

  • i agree

  • Indeed, but their both good for their own reasons

  • also..we have been used to melee for..7years!

  • Sorry, but what's 'metagame'?

  • Metagame is a term used to describe a character playing as well as the possibly can perform, or very close to that level.

    Ken bsically formed the Marth metagame as we have it today

  • That was "hawt". With Ken's reputation I thought he was going to win, but DSF surprised me. :D A good way to learn techniques is watching, so... *Looks for more videos of DSF*

  • Wave dashing- sliding against the ground, learn how to by reading guides. (Short hop, diagonal, L.)

  • what is wave dashing?

  • At this level the game is 50% mindgames and 50% technical skill. It's insane, and most apparent when people try to get back on stage after getting knocked off. People with equivalent technical skill as these guys would never be able to recover after getting knocked off because these guys would rip them apart without decent mindgames.

  • that's helpful to know

  • Is there going to be L-Cancel in Brawl? And wavedashing isn't the only reason these players are good.

  • Most likely yes, there will be L Cancelling in brawl. Unsure of wavedashing.

  • L canceling is supposed to be in, wavedashing is impossible due to the fact you can't direct your air dodge in brawl.

  • According to BrawlCentral, l-canceling is out.

  • all the advanced stuff is gone basically...all new stuff.

  • Ya wavedash is quite a loss but it's a brand new game. We will find something else. For the most part everything else is still there.

  • LOL its so funny how you noobs are all happy that there will be no Wavedashing in Brawl, and you guys think you'll have a chance now LMAO you will still suck all the elite players like these will still be standouts

  • Seriously, most people that are better than others at games will stay better in ALL games. That's why certain idiots stick to old shit like halo pc because they can't handle the modern competition.

  • OMG Ken lost!!

  • Woah never watched this one through to the end, DSF really did beat Ken there. I guess there is hope in maining Shiek after all.

  • This stuff is old man, DSF's Sheik is way better nowadays.

  • Yes and I'm sure Ken did too, that wasn't my point. There is hope in sheik usage yay!

  • Ken retired last year. Sheik's are great mains. Too many mindgames.

  • Yes but he had gotten better, and Sheik almost seems too easy to use o.O. Good thing it's easy to combo on them or they'd be broken.

  • Enough with the tier/compare crap. Isn't it enough to have fun. And the programmers had to give each character some balance to avoid making one or several tanks that could wipe someone out. I think they did a pretty good job of that.

  • ken was the first person i seen do the gay edgehog/edgeguard thing to shiek i mean there is nothing can do about it if u play shiek. o yea and all u people that say that ken sucks well hes prolly made more money than u by playing a video game so who sucks now.

  • Ken doesn't suck by any means. He's just overrated.

  • ken is so dominant sometimes, the first half of this fight is basically flawless execution.

  • does no one get the significance of "tires don exits"?

    tiers of course, do exist, but you should disregard them since you can become skilled with any character regardless of tier, and still do well, like azen, chu dat, direvulcan, etc.

  • We understand; plenty of players in all fighting games learn to play lower tier characters and play them well. But the higher in skill you go in the tournament scene, the less of these low tier characters you see. Tier's don't mean Low Tier has no chance against Top Tier; they just mean that you'll have a much harder chance winning.

  • lol thanks.

  • All right now, settle down, children. Roy is stronger than Marth as in his smash attacks are, for the most part, stronger. However, Roy is much less of a good character because of his slow speed, poor recovery, and because he's a fast faller. You rarely see Roy in tournaments because quite simply, he sucks. You can definitely win with Roy, since tiers don exits, but you'll never see Roy win a tournament.

  • umm tiers DO exist. get your facts straight.

  • ironically i actually spelled "tires" correctly. The term is "tires don exits" which is a play on tiers don't exist, since you can get really good with any character, regardless of tier. Like Azen, ChuDat, DireVulcan, etc.

  • Yes... there are tiers...

    Top: Fox, Falco

    Upper: Sheik, Marth, Peach

    Mid: Captain Falcon, Ice Climbers, Samus, Doctor Mario, Jigglypuff, Ganondorf

    Low: Link, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Roy, Young Link, Pikachu

    Bottom: Yoshi, Zelda, Game and Watch, Ness, Bowser, Kirby, Pichu, Mewtwo

  • Sheik was stinking it up at the beginging but then pulled it out of the bag..

    way to be sheik

  • And I have a friend who uses Fox insanely where you don't breathe he can juggle you in the air, or if your against a wall he has an infinite combo. Plus Fox's up smash is the dopest shit in the game, it's always fun punting like 2 or 3 people at the same time.

  • actually, that's pretty common stuff for a fox main.

  • Marth is stronger, end of story. And on top of that he is heavier making him harder to knock out. There are 3 characters that are elite Fox, Marth, and Peach. Other good ones are Captain Falcon, Falco, Sheik, Jigglypuff, Luigi, and a few others, Those top 3 character's smashes usually take priority over all the other characters, but I will say Fox is the best character.

  • Check the tier list at smash world forums, also known as smashboards. Marth has been beating space animals as of late, so I'd say that Marth is currently the best character in the game.

  • Top: Fox, Falco

    Upper: Sheik, Marth, Peach

    Mid: Captain Falcon, Ice Climbers, Samus, Doctor Mario, Jigglypuff, Ganondorf

    Low: Link, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Roy, Young Link, Pikachu

    Bottom: Yoshi, Zelda, Game and Watch, Ness, Bowser, Kirby, Pichu, Mewtwo

  • this is incorrect

  • No it isn't. Are you European? The PAL tier list is different.

  • This is the NTSC tier list from Shoryuken's wiki; I'm pretty sure it's current. You might disagree with what characters are better or worse, but remember that people don't pull these characters out of thin air. Generally tier lists are made by analyzing matchups and giving 1-10 ratings on how fun of a time you're going to have against said opponent. The points are added, and the characters are ranked. Large gaps in points designate a new tier.

  • Tier lists don't guarantee success; in fact they really don't even mean anything. Marth was considered top tier a couple years ago and now isn't, but who cares? He's still one of the most popular characters in the game. People play the characters they like, and tier lists don't dictate how well you can play characters (I'm terrible with Fox and Falco).

  • Tier lists show what characters come out on top at Pro-level play. If you had a pro-level Fox and a pro-level Jigglypuff, Fox would win almost always.

  • Yeah; it just shows how each character does statistically, but in the end, all that matters is skill. Very few matches in Smash (or any fighting game) are perfectly even; part of a game is learning to overcome the weaknesses of your character.

  • Sorry about the long post; I had to separate it.

  • First of all, that is the NTSC (North America and Japan) tier list. Second of all, tier lists apply to an international competitive setting; based on how competitive tournament players play around the world, these are THEIR tiers.

  • Third of all, understand what tiers mean before you go on a rant. Higher ranked characters don't mean they can beat lower ranked characters in a fight. Higher ranked characters are characters that generally do better than lower ranked characters. Fourth of all but already somewhat mentioned, this tier list doesn't apply to how you and your friends play, it's based on how people play in competitive tournaments around the world.

  • the sound is off, and why do people give good comments thumbs down

  • This stage's edge pisses me off. Iv'e killed myself a few times the way ken did on his last stock like that.

    Thats why I love final destinations edge... its so easy recover if you overwipe.

  • everyone who says Roy is Better theres one thing you don't gt Speed OWNZ power but all speed and all power suck because you need a balance butt that balance is beter when it's leaning towards speed thats what both these charachters are

  • punctuations good.

    use it.

  • punctuation's good.

    use it.

  • at least you can understand what i'm saying. "poohead"

    how mature.

  • Tires don exits.

  • Marth has speed in his attacks and is a master of edgegaurding, while Roy is all about power and a mastering of SHFFL

  • u all fail at commenting, except aznmonkey104.

  • u guys are retarded, how could u say roy is better than marth, marth's attacks are stronger than roys if u hit with the tip of his sword, which u always should as marth.... so that makes marth stronger and faster

  • I do agree, but in some cases, you want to keep hitting with the inside of the sword so you can execute more combos with lighter foes.

  • then why do you never see roy being played in tournaments?

    everyones retarded but you i guess...

  • because they prefer speed over power thats all they think that with higher speed they can wavedash dodge and counter faster along with spikes so its like thinking of doing more little hits then missing great hits that arent gonna work

  • because marth is good.

  • y the fck INSNT ken always marth?!!

  • because that's his especiality moron!.

  • yeah shiek rules ^^

  • 2.43 epic.

  • epic?

  • hm...

  • Sweet. I wanted Sheik to win :)

  • great match, only with marth and his LOOOONG sword can you be so overly aggressive!!!

  • yeah cause Ken's playing on Final Destination right now..... good observation zx

  • Man this vid is old.

  • ~T.C.~

    Um there's no such thing as a "real pro" trying to win tourneys with mid and low tier characters,with the exception of a few, because those characters can't win tourneys. There would be no tier list in smash if the game was balanced. Make since?

  • well, true to a point. but when chu picked up IC's, they were, what, mid tier? low?

    Lets look at marth

    Pros: Good reach nice combos good recovery WT-FSmash

    Cons: Average speed Easy to combo No Projectiles

    With ken's "def and counter" style on the decline, we may see marth fall to high tier and perhaps falco (with the aid of PC) will wind up top tier.

    those tier lists are more dynamic than people realize

  • Where have you been? Falco has been considered top tier for like a year now.

  • LOL woow

  • really? i thot he was still high tier.

    no i just checked, looks like he's top tier and... wow, marth is at the top of the list, its been fox for so long...

    this makes me sad. i play fox.

  • flame flame flame get this guy banned

  • you should be banned for flaming 5 videos in a row ROFL.

  • yeah he seams like one whenever he plays BS and a fox because of all the chain-grabbing. and wth? sephy in brawl wouldn't work too well at all!

  • Too bad, I read an interview with Ken and he is kind of an asshole. He is amazing at the game though.....yet, he would like to see Sephiroth in Brawl....What the hell?

  • I agree with you. Ken's an amazing player, but in real life he's a jerk.
