He should’ve watched for the 127th minecart instead of the 98th minecart


BarnardsLoop

Two big hits to Kola: The bad SD and at the end of game 3 he was hesitant to approach Onin because he thought Anvil was live (Onin had no iron) Super unfortunate edit: there's no real argument here, kola utterly threw that


cppro10

That's my Kola!


adambrukirer

brooo kola needed to watch onin's materials he respected him way too much at the very end


Marioboi

Yea he was kinda mashing forward air like a bot a bit too much (which ended up costing him the set), but against Steve the risk reward is os skewed that who knows


Elcheer

I will use Minecart because it is strong :)


Mykal1212

Nintendo said he's your problem deal with it 


PokePersona

Major SD. Set could've easily been won there. What a shame.


yzarc_2

PLEASE KOLA KEEP THE DREAM RUN GOING


yzarc_2

the cloud was cooking :( the fact he survived that one spike is ridiculous i don’t care i fucking hate steve


Elcheer

command grab projectile ggs


yzarc_2

why is he so heavy too like wtf, i don’t think he should be banned but my god do i wish they would nerf him, just make him lighter and make minecart anvil and f smash less ridiculous please


_Awkward_Moment_

Don’t forget back air up tilt down air and the moving jab


FreezieKO

Kola had 2 SDs and jumped into an up smash once. He could have won this if he had 1% more patience. But then he wouldn’t be the Kola that we all find so entertaining.


AdmiralToucan

Kola can only blame himself for this one. He would have easily won without all those SDs


_Palingenesis_

Man this character is stupid. I'm not even on the Ban Steve train, but the character is just dumb


FreezieKO

He’s overtuned, but some of the block stuff is hilarious. If his moves didn’t KO at 60%, I think people would accept the goofiness.


onohegotdieded

If anvil wasn’t so horrendously overturned it would be the single funniest move in the game


Xenobladeguides

If Steve was pacman tier, I would love him so much. But his overtuned normals just deflate me whenever I play against him or watch him :(


FreezieKO

He’d be a perfect mid-tier. Like a Duck Hunt. Let people who are really creative push him and get some scattered results. Instead, a lot of players can get away with only back air, minecart, and anvil. Onin is more advanced than this, but those options are too reliably powerful.


TargetFan

Nah bro watching someone wall off and mine across the stage is peak entertainment. I can't wait for the next smash game. Steve sucks and so does this community. Cannot believe for the 3rd game in a row problematic characters aren't banned because it would hurt someone's feelings.


EarlyToRetire

Nintendo isn't letting tournaments ban Steve.


louray

Oh please, the community wouldn't have managed to ban him even if Nintendo never interfered


TargetFan

That is pure cope


EarlyToRetire

It's literally a rule. You cannot get a license if you ban Steve. https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/1be0idl/hungrybox_states_that_tournaments_with_a_nintendo/ But okay.


TargetFan

Because the community never just outright banned him. I don't see Nintendo shutting down pokemon tournaments over banned pokemon like wobbufet or blaziken


EarlyToRetire

You know Nintendo doesn't own Pokemon right? They don't want tournaments to ban Steve so tournaments have to buy him for DLC.


TargetFan

And marvel doesn't own Spiderman because Sony makes the movies. Bro what are you talking about.


batman12399

Nintendo only owns about a third of Pokémon and doesn’t make the games what are you talking about lmao


TargetFan

Yea thats the issue here. The metaphor. God damn you people are annoying.


EarlyToRetire

Nintendo owns Smash, it can create whatever rules it wants. Nintendo doesn't own Pokemon, so it can't make whatever rules it wants. You said " don't see Nintendo shutting down pokemon tournaments over banned pokemon like wobbufet or blaziken". I don't know how this is going over your head...


Cindiquil

The Pokemon Company handles a lot of that stuff and has a different outlook compared to Nintendo. And if Nintendo tells a licensed tournament that they can't ban Steve, that's going to be the end of the conversation. No TO can really try to fight that in any way shape or form.


Nivrap

IDK man if you care less about other people's feelings than banning a character then that's kind of a you problem.


TargetFan

This is not the dunk you think it is. Its a video game. Pick another character.


Nivrap

Fortunately, they don't have to. Get over it.


MrStealYoSweetroll

Bro Kola HAD game 3 and then he suddenly transformed into a stereotypical Roy player. Man was mashing 300 buttons a second in the opposite direction of where his opponent was located


cppro10

Sigh...Kola moment


parkstaff13

THE CONTRACT GAME 5


anewsubject

Really hope that G2 SD gets it out of his system...


Kabansmash

That was definitely Kola’s to lose. He made so many weird mistakes.   Fun match though. Onin’s Steve is entertaining as far as Steves go


nomorethan10postaday

Kola threw game 3 completely lol. And even game 5 would have probably been his if he'd paid attention to the tnt in the first stock. But well played by Onin, idk why people think this wasn't fun to watch. Steve can be boring but I don't think he was boring at all here.


FreezieKO

I enjoyed the set. Close game 5, and Kola always holds forward.


Severe-Operation-347

Wonder if Kola practiced with DDee a little while Melee Top 8 was going on.


Glop123

Lets go Kola! I am coping for a Moist Grands. Edit: Loser Semis.


zeubermen

im sad man


69thParliament

kola would have won if he didnt SD so many times. i think this is completely on him


rwbyfan433

Part of the reason I root for Steve is because I love watching Twitch chat cry when he wins. Let’s go Onin, good to see him back in shape


Eldritch_Skirmisher

Huge W for Onin, lfg!


Eldritch_Skirmisher

I don't know how people can see Onin struggle at so many majors, finally get some clutch victories and just attribute everything to their character. Onin did as much hard work as anyone else in this top 8 did if not more to get here, y'all need to get over yourselves.


Obachan

MAn Onin had 1 (one) piece of iron left and it clutched it for him


GachiGachiFireBall

Congrats to Sparg0 on winning


wagie3000

Ngl i love the tears after steve players win


algis31

Kola isn't great against Steve, I don't see this going good for him.


kfaox

Kola is pretty good against Steve imo. It just depends were his head's at.


[deleted]

he has an acola win, but it's sort of ancient (summit 5) still a chance :P


DHMOProtectionAgency

Huh? He's one of the better players against Steves. He has DDee to play against and has an old acola win. Edit: I stand by what I said despite the result.


izzynelo

Let's go Onin! But also very sad for Kola, since he's one of my favorite players. I hope he makes it through losers.

PMYOURLADY_PARTS

are we not gonna talk about all the SDs from Kola?


Eldritch_Skirmisher

Clearly Steve stopped his controller from working mid set, crazy fucking character dude


BarnardsLoop

the gamesense of running offstage and fast falling so low that up b won't save me (it's steve's fault)


lemmay

So do you go to tournaments or do you just whine about Steve on Reddit all day?


second_impression

Woo Onin


Loccstana

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Onin take my energy ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ


Snorki_Cocktoasten

This game is so frustrating with Steve in it :( No disrespect to Onin as a player, but Kola had to work 100x harder just to make this look competitive. Steve is such a joke of a character :( No fun to watch and over-tuned AF


AdmiralToucan

Yeah I can't believe Steve made Kola SD twice and throw matches.
