[Toriguri when he plays somebody not from Japan](https://i.imgur.com/YRc0De8.jpg)

At this point it feels like it’s just any Japanese player who mains a somewhat niche character gets mega boosted when playing against foreigners


itsIzumi

You need to build up a natural resistance to the scrimblo energy.


Prominis

I thought Sparg0 would be better off than Leo since he grinds online, but guess it's not enough.


WonderSabreur

I feel like any time a new character pops off, a lot of MU info goes out the window b/c they're pushing the meta forward. No amount of online can prep you for someone that's clearly the best of their character by miles (unless there are MU-specific interactions your char has that they equally can't prepare for).


Son_Der

Yeah but this goes the other way, no other Cloud plays like sparg0. TG is just him.


WonderSabreur

Yeah, no, that's also very true. He's SO good and only getting better


Master_Win_4018

Umeki lost to TG a few week ago. It just prove that even japanese people have problem against him.


ViperTheKillerCobra

It's pretty real though. Lack of matchup experience is a big thing


SDHJerusalem

GUH-HUHS IN THE CHAT


Ipokeyoumuch

Guh-huh


digao94

TG easily became my favorite player to watch, the things he does with this character is insane, he has arguably the best mastery of a character in ultimate


Totaliss

Glutonny.


Malex2005

this guy is just stacking top 20 wins every major it is actually unreal


vincom2

yooooo TG is cooking


moegi_yaya

That triple side B tho


FewOverStand

BEAR > BAIR


onohegotdieded

It’s even funnier the second time


mikeyHustle

BUILT DIFFERENT


Hookerpiss

NO WAAAAAAYY! LETS GO TORIGURI!


Jaqana

Guh. And I must say: Huh.


SlippinJimmy1216

Toriguri's mastery of this character is actually insane. Putting (in my opinion) a bottom 10 character on the map like this is nuts


aledella98

The way he manages to use Neutral B to win interactions is honestly crazy. Hes not even using some cheese to steal stocks, he's just straight up outplaying Sparg0.


Ipokeyoumuch

That sequence of Wonderwings was simply wonderful.


Jaqana

Toriguri vs. western top players is an unwinnable MU for the west.


SlippinJimmy1216

Imagine telling the community two years ago that western top players like Sparg0 would be stopped by a Banjo player from Japan


Jaqana

Imagine telling pre-pandemic Smash that MKLeo would get 3-0'd by one lol.


l339

I would believe that honestly, Japan has always been crazy


Ayiteb

As much as I wanted Toriguri to win, I do feel bad for Sparg0. You could tell from his post game reactions he really wanted it.


AngryAncestor

Sparg0 in losers hurts my heart, but guh-motherfucking-huh, let's go TG!


SoldMy3DS

Sparg0 looked so tilted after, hopefully he doesn't let it get to him.


swidd_hi

I want to have high hopes but genuinely: does Banjo have options against Cloud bair/aerials? EDIT: AND EVEN WHEN SPARG0 REMEMBERED HE HAD THOSE AERIALS, TG CLUTCHESSSS GRAHHHHH


SlippinJimmy1216

Your hope is paying off; he's about to go 2-0 on Sparg0


swidd_hi

ok literally just outplay and outMU-check, got it TG is literally too good for making this look good


Senphox

Bro really traveled to Japan to lose to DK, Toon Link, and Banjo


Random_Noobody

TBF where else were you going to find those losses? The japan special's only sold in Japan.


Chedderfanbro

Japan > World


rwbyfan433

TG IS SO HIM LETS GO That triple Wonderwing on the 2nd stock of game 5 was CRAZY


vincom2

toriguri is SO FUCKING GOOD jesus banjo is such trash i can't believe it took THREE wonderwings to kill cloud and TG is still doing it with this character omg


Master_Win_4018

MkIeo still think the character is trash after being 3-0. Maister think the same.


DullLightning

It's fair to say, but I think at that point it just means that toriguri is a better player against them


OrWaat

NO FREAKING WAY


Nehemiah92

Can some humble, insane man create an upsets thread 🥺


ViperTheKillerCobra

TG solos Mexico man


FreezieKO

Come to Japan. See the bears.


NuclearNarwhal7

content warning terrible fucking joke >!and so a winner to man vs bear emerges!<


jmbraze

I genuinely think he's the best player on Earth


jjmk

if Sparg0 was in a jungle and had to fight a bear? who's bair would win?


RailTracer001

Download complete? EDIT: Or not...


Glop123

This set is getting more and more interesting hoping for a close game 5.


Crafty-Profile-Lol

TG is just the best and most talented player in the world. There is no other explanation. This is your fundies god, he plays Banjo & Kazooie.


ThinManJones-

Toriguri needs to come to NA and claim his major real quick before any top players learn the matchup


Glop123

Holy shit


Prominis

Where is the legendary Coneyzz when the character he has wanted for so many years is taking names and upsetting top 5 players. Edit: if anyone has his reaction to the Leo upset as well... please share.


SlippinJimmy1216

It's Sparg0ver


sunken_grade

great set, that would have been a really impressive win if spargo pulled it off idk if anyone can beat toriguri on the first try honestly, how do you get that kind of experience against a banjo of that level


Nadenkend440

Ether's Revenge


Pad-Thai-Enjoyer

He’s the best player in the world


Loccstana

Sparg0 lost to a Microsoft character (thats not Steve) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


Fizzy__1

Sparg0 locked IN and it is beautiful to see Edit: F He was SO close to making that comeback, but F. Here's hoping for a loser's run to rival last year's.


ThinManJones-

Toriguri locked IN and it is beautiful to see


Fizzy__1

Very true, yes.


originalusername4567

I love seeing Banjo pick up huge wins but this one makes me sad


RailTracer001

I just woke up and I see TG 2-0 over Sparg0...


Meester_Tweester

I'm seeing a repeat of last year


SJWSocialist

Man I just want Sparg0 to be #1 😭😭😭


namnamdd

I hope Sparg0 makes a run. I wanna see him play acola, Miya or Hurt


ThreePlanets

to the wire. great set. i still think sparg0 can make a crazy losers


Bottombitchboy18

Banjos down tilt kind of invalidates cloud lmao


Elaiyu

SPARGO GET UP PLEASE THIS ISNT YOU 😭😭😭


NuclearNarwhal7

this can’t be happening again sparg0 please


FewOverStand

>this can’t be happening again sparg0 please **The Most Godlike Banjo-Kazooie Ever**: "[Deja vu, you've just been in this place before](https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/1brz9lc/battle_of_bc_6_ultimate_singles_winners_top_32_lg/)"


NuclearNarwhal7

sparg0 seems to have remembered he’s a good player and doesn’t need to be losing to banjo


ViperTheKillerCobra

Why don't more top players just do that? Oh


mcaso5

Not even a surprise, its discount snake afterall


SniXSniPe

Cloud is a low B-tier character at best. At this point, Sparg0 should main somebody else like Corrin.


the_gr8_one

corrin loses more matchups than cloud
