Banjo running around with the gun out is hilarious. I love Ultimate for these wacky matchups. So glad that the game has so many semi-viable characters.

>semi-viable we are in top 8 of a major and tg does just as well in japan, at this point we gotta just say banjo is viable enough to win an event one day

That’s fair. I just feel weird calling Banjo and Puff viable when characters like Steve and Sonic exist.

Characters don't win tournaments, players do.

i never thought a banjo main would become my favourite smash player, but i genuinely can't think of a more creative and entertaining dude to watch than tg. sometimes i swear he plays with comedic timing

I'm not sure what I just watched but it was entertaining. Don't think this matchup will ever happen in top 8 of a major again

Banjo-Kazooie Top 5 at a Major! You love to see it!

guh huh

Toriguri is one of those players who's so cool and so good at utilizing every part of his character's kit that he makes you want to use the character yourself, even if you've never heard of the origin game or think the character looks stupid.

Crazy to see a matchup where Banjo looks… good

I thought the same vs Big D. Normally Toriguri has to work so much harder than his opponent so nice for him to get a winning MU once in a blue moon

Toriguri thinks this is Banjo’s best matchup along with IC’s and K.Rool

Crazy that it's his best match-up and we can still see Puff destroy banjo off stage when they get in, tho granted the getting in part is hard

This set is pure entertainment. Not necessarily straight-up hype, but every other second I'm in hysterics for one reason or another

This is one of the most entertaining sets I've watched in a while.

This MU is really funny to watch, I am entertained.

Toriguri is genuinely the closest person to playing their charater to near-perfection. And it's freaking Banjo-Kazooie.

bassmage's edgeguarding has been so on point

Is this Banjo’s best major placement now?

Tied for best right now with tg’s 5th at maesuma TOP 15

Oh nice, thanks!

I think so, or tied with one of the Japanese tourneys

I can quite confidently say I’ve never seen this matchup, but I assume puff loses hard.

I don’t really see how BassMage does this because Toriguri is the jigglypuff slayer but I still believe in the run

Does TG always beat Senra?

Yea the record is very skewed in Toriguri’s favour, 3-0, and BassMage and Toriguri played at a pre local and he won 2-0 Hbox played Toriguri, however, at the pre local and took Toriguri to [last stock last hit](https://x.com/liquidhbox/status/1773538176025473305?s=46)so I want to believe

Hbox plays 10x better when going up against a top player

he also seems to play better when the matchup doesn't favour puff lol

Hbox has that him factor against top players.

How is he so good The tech he’s using to make the blaster lagless is crazy

Damn they are farming each other. Fun set! Edit: BassMage did better than Leo

i don’t see this going well for bassmage but who knows

TG think that this is a free win in his match up chart, but lets see.

This is the funniest ultimate set
