Zain Sfat Oh Shit Here We Go Again Tweet
Rarely does a Melee histrion come along and beat multiple Gods in a single year. SFAT did information technology in 2016, though, taking several sets off of Hungrybox and Mango, most recently at Shine (Mango & Hungrybox) and The Big House 6 (Hungrybox). We sat downwardly with the most promising American Fox in ages to discuss life, the universe, and everything in between. (Also, Melee . A lot of questions almost Melee .) As e'er, thanks to r/smashbros for submitting questions that formed the basis of the community-fueled interview below.
This interview has been lightly edited for readability.
///
Justin: How is your twenty-four hour period? How'south it going?
SFAT: My twenty-four hour period's good, it's been kind of a arctic 24-hour interval.
Crawly! What did you lot do today?
Let's run across… woke up, played a lot of CS:GO with friends, and watched some other Nail streamers for a little while, read a little bit, skilful some tech skill… been pretty chill.
That'south great!
How well-nigh you? How's your day?
Ha! I guess all I did was, I did some work, some writing…
(For some reason we talk about me for a while, my job, life in glamorous Atlanta, etc., until I remember that this is an SFAT interview, non a Justin interview.)
So do y'all play a lot of Counter-Strike? Are you a CS:GO esports person?
I'm totally a Counter-Strike esports fan—I'k really good friends with a lot of the CLG teams, Bluish and Red, and I'm trying to get pro, that would be the dream, right? But it'due south very hard.
That's cool! So you want to go pro in multiple games? Or is that a fleck of a joke?
No, no, I'g trying to go Global—by next August I want to exist Global, it'southward similar the top rank in Counter-Strike.
That'southward crazy, in that location's never actually been a player that's been world-class in multiple games in different genres… If you had to selection but one, which one would you be globe-course in?
Hm… shoot, I dunno. I love Melee , but Counter-Strike is hoppin' in terms of just, like—yeah there'southward a lot of money in Counter-Strike, and it'due south a lot bigger than Smash.
Would you say y'all currently play more Counter-Strike than Smash, on the whole?
Um… nah, I call up I even so play more Smash, because on the weekends, I'll probably play up to, similar, 30 hours… well, aye, at tournaments, because I'one thousand always playing at tournaments. And so at home I'll probably play anywhere between, like, v to x hours per week, and then I watch a shitton of Melee to just report and stuff.
I hear that a lot from players out of the areas that don't have a lot of Smash going on—that they study a lot. Is that as important as practicing?
Yep, definitely, because…. Well, one, there's only a lot of players that are getting better and better, so y'all take to keep up on their habits and their options and also scout out, like, who's on the come-up, but likewise it's training your eye to continuously be able to see, yous know, only the quick frames.
Oh, I didn't think nearly that, simply yeah, the game is so unbelievably fast… is eye speed part of what separates summit-tier players from regular ones?
Information technology'due south like existence able to recognize a situation and have multiple responses for that situation, or the correct response. And that'south all video games, right? It's like, you recognize a situation and you respond to it, and button smash—it's just so fast and quick, and similar, information technology's very easy to miss it or not know the right responses for it.
And you think that's something yous can railroad train, as opposed to a natural, innate ability to recognize these things.
Well, it's a piffling bit of both. You have to have the ability to recognize these situations, simply other than that, as far equally existence able to process it in a really fast speed, that's something I think you can train.
Let's launch into the main questions hither… Can you tell me about where you lot started, where "SFAT" came from, how you landed on Smash equally your focus?
Well, I started playing Smash in 2006… I estimate I started playing in 2005, just I was merely picking up the game with friends and whatnot, and I didn't stop upwards going to my beginning tournament until late '06, and at this time I was in 6th grade… and so I knew Kevin Toy, PewPewU, and he was likewise a 6th grader, in a couple of my classes. And frequently, on the weekends, or on Fridays, a bunch of the states would go to someone'southward business firm, and we would just play Melee . And because at that place were six of u.s., nosotros'd play teams a lot of the fourth dimension as well, only nosotros played almost every week. And as the years went on, more of our friends would stop playing Melee , and Kevin and I would proceed, and we'd play twice a week, three times a week. That was pretty much my centre school experience. And most of loftier school too, I just played a lot of Melee. And then when I graduated high school, I was kind of conflicted, like—do I go to college and pursue something that I actually like? Considering Melee was starting to pick up, and League of Legends was also starting to go a matter, you know, with Riot pushing LCS and whatnot, so it's similar—around this time esports was actually starting to smash, and I was kind of conflicted. I was going to college and I was doing Nail at the same time, for a long fourth dimension, merely it was tough—it was really difficult. (Laughs) Because they both kind of took each other'due south attention.
Yeah, information technology's like having two jobs.
Yeah, but then, just about a year agone, I put the higher thing on hold. I'thou pretty much ready to transfer—I could get to whatever university that I desire to, but, I'g kind of just riding the esports wave right now and seeing how far I can have Blast and streaming.
Then how baroque is it that two of the top NorCal players went to the aforementioned heart school? That'due south a little bit… practise you think it's a coincidence?
I mean, it doesn't experience like a coincidence because I've known him my whole life, merely I think information technology just kinda happened, where we both liked playing the game and we kept playing and we kept playing until we got better and better and better, so, you know, at present we're hither.
Okay, so there are a few directions I want to become. One's the origin of your proper noun, because I've heard a few theories about it.
Information technology'south kind of a lame story….
I mean, Axe named himself later deodorant, so…
I dunno, I think he'due south got 1 up on me. I played Jigglypuff at the time, and a lot of my practice partners—yep, I was in middle school, and a lot of my practice partners were high school students, considering they were the only people who played competitively. But I played Jigglypuff, and nosotros would joke around that Jigglypuff was so fat , and I but started wearing the SFAT tag, and the first tournament that I went to, I was similar, what practice I enter every bit, I'll just enter as SFAT, what the hell, and that'south pretty much it. After a few tournaments, I was like, oh, do I change my name, do I proceed it, and I was kind of adamant to make it a proper name that people would know regardless.
So you're attached to information technology now. If y'all went pro in CS:GO, would y'all change to a dissimilar name?
No, no style! Because I would want them to know that I'm SFAT, the Super Smash Bros. pro.
Are you meliorate than Mango at CS:GO?
No.
Oh, no?
No, I'm much beneath Mango—he's played since, like, 1.six, but I've only played for a few months.
So kind of a new thing. It'd be interesting to see a team of Melee players compete in CS:Get tourneys on a adequately high level.
At that place'southward quite a few people from Melee that I actually play with, like Lovage and S2J, and PewPewU plays a lot likewise.
It'due south always cool to see that cross-esports dear. Alright, though, back to Melee. You lot've improved ridiculously fast over the past year, correct? How practise you lot explain that?
I judge for me, it's just been a lot of practice of the game, of course, but besides that, at that place'due south a-whole-nother level of mental grooming you need to go through, and a lot of people struggle with the mental game in esports and competitive sports too. Then what I think the biggest thing for me was, was being able to handle my nerves nether force per unit area—that was a big affair I worked on.
Also, really… okay, what it came down to was, at the beginning of the year I housed Fleet for Genesis 3, and he was over for maybe a week and a half, playing, and I was talking to him and I was proverb how, you lot know, when I play people much better than me I become actually nervous. And I'm not really sure how to deal with it. And he leaned over to me and he was like—Zac, at that place is no i way better than yous at this game. And I was like, oh, shit, like… damn.
And he said information technology in his excellent Swedish accent, also, which I imagine amplified the event—
Yeah, and that kind of gave me confidence, and it made me realize how practiced I actually was, and maybe that I was kind of doubting myself or existence conceited with where I was at. So the next few tournaments, I really focused on—when I was playing someone, it was just another person. Information technology wasn't, you know, it wasn't Armada, or it wasn't Mango, or Hungrybox. Whatever grapheme they were playing, it was just the graphic symbol. But I also realized that these certain characters have sure habits as opposed to other, you know, similar Hungrybox likes to practice certain rolls in sure situations, but I would never call up, like, oh, this is Hungrybox, I would think, 'this Jigglypuff likes to roll.'
Interesting. Is PewPewU also in your state of affairs, playing full-time?
He'due south in schoolhouse. He's on his last year of school.
Do you remember that'due south why your individual results are consistently ameliorate than his?
Yep, I think it'south definitely-partially that I'm full-time Smash and streaming, and he's but part-time, merely I think information technology's also… Kevin kind of gets burnt out on the competitive side a lot, and I think it's similar… I dunno if I should share, but we've shared this on stream a lot. Kevin last year was doing consistently better than me, getting 9th identify at every tournament, but he could non break into the Peak 8, no matter what tournament he went to. And at the beginning half of this year, he went on kind of, like, that slump, where he didn't want to go and compete because he was kind of afraid of non achieving what he could, and um, for me that thought never came into my mind. I would go out there and focus on the process of winning, and then just exercise that.
But GOML 2016, you know, I had to kind of drag Kevin out to that tournament, because I actually wanted to team with him, and he was kind of in that mental block and I told him that nosotros just need to call back why we play this game. You know, don't have your placement every bit a straight result of who y'all are. And so we played that tournament just to have fun, like, no matter how we played, we would simply have fun with it. And nosotros concluded upwards winning the Doubles consequence, which was awesome, and information technology kind of shook him out, pulled him out of that slump, and always since so we've been really focused on having a very positive mentality, and also trying not to put expectations on ourselves.
And definitely the doubles, the PewFat thing is an important function of this interview. And then where do you recall doubles are headed? Why aren't doubles the default style?
Well, I think they're headed in a good management right now, with the pickup from Brotherhood, so now nosotros have Team Alliance and Team CLG, and hopefully we will have other stable teams in the future. But the reason doubles isn't as pop as singles is because at that place'due south just a lot of chaos going on. Information technology'south hard to watch teams and know what's going on and know the really big decisions that are beingness made. And already Nail is and so fast that singles is hard to meet if you aren't familiar with it, and then you throw in ii more people it's just really tough. Just now I call back with the consistent teammates, it'll definitely grow the doubles scene and I promise to see more new players pick upwards.
Do you think the doubles metagame has been pretty much figured out, or is at that place a huge corporeality more to uncover?
Yeah, there'due south a lot of untapped potential in doubles and information technology'south not even shut to beingness optimized however. Even the pinnacle teams are very sloppy at executing doubles strategies, and most people don't even know the little nuances of doubles. And then I definitely think it'due south under-optimized right at present and I think it'll but get more than and more than optimized equally nosotros become improve.
Where practise you think the next frontiers are?
So, a lot of people don't know that, at low percents, if you lot throw into your partner—beneath forty% they won't knock you down. Simply once that character that'southward beingness thrown gets higher than like l%, he starts knocking downward your opponent. So it's a good way to rack upwards a lot of damage. There are picayune things like that that a lot of people don't know—they don't even know that, let's see… a lot of people tunnel vision too difficult on one person, like they fight singles in teams, and they don't effectively get kills as a squad.
So, it seems from my uninformed and nooby vantage point that doubles has a college skill ceiling. Would you concur?
I would say they're dissimilar skills, because in doubles information technology's more than virtually recognizing situations then existence able to exercise one big move on that, whereas in singles information technology's more than, yous know, well-nigh winning a single neutral substitution, then doing a rehearsed combo punish game, just in doubles there's a lot more room for improv. So if someone like jumps in the middle of you guys, there's a lot of different means you tin can go about it.
Do yous think you'll always live and practice full-time with PewPewU?
Nosotros oasis't actually talked about it, I mean it'd exist awesome… I visit Shroomed a lot, he really lived in this kind of this Boom house in San Francisco with NMW, Laudandus, and Nhat, all other Smashers, tiptop-level NorCal Smashers, and I would go there a lot and play with them. I hateful, information technology would be awesome if Kevin and I moved in, or even if I moved in with Shroomed, living with a peak-level Smasher would definitely be awesome. We've talked about moving into the CLG firm before, but at this time, it'due south kinda similar… it's on hold right now.
Let's talk almost Fox. Since switching from Puff to Fox, have you lot e'er idea playing another character?
Well, actually, I didn't become Puff to Pull a fast one on, I went Puff to Marth to Captain Falcon to DK… I played all sorts of characters, I've played near the whole cast at one point. And so at one point I was playing Marth and PewPew was actually playing Fox, and we mained those characters for a long time, and one mean solar day we ended up trying the other character, and we ended up liking it a lot more. And so now I'm the Play a trick on and he'due south the Marth. But in the time to come, I practice like Marth a lot, I still play Marth a lot, and I like Falco as well, and then those would probably exist the characters I would play other than Fox if I were to play them.
Do you lot think Play tricks needs a secondary?
Nah, he definitely doesn't need a secondary, although he tin exist very tiring and draining, you lot know, if you play him all weekend long—sometimes you don't wanna play Fox anymore, you wanna play someone who has a different stride.
And information technology'south hard on your easily. Is that something you've had problem with?
Yeah, definitely, my tendons get very sore, and if I don't stretch properly earlier and afterwards I play, my hands get actually sore, I retrieve something that's helped me though is working my artillery out, or working out in full general, when I build that musculus around my tendons and my wrist it definitely hurts way less—it's definitely sore at first because information technology'south edifice the muscle, merely afterwards it's like, great cushion, and a lot of people who I've talked to who have worked out their arms don't normally feel paw pain.
And then let'due south talk about when you practice Fox—what is the most important thing for Trick mains to practice? How is learning Fox is dissimilar from other characters?
I think the most important thing for Fox mains to learn right now is trying to polish out of shield, and the perfect shine on the basis, considering it'south 1 of the all-time defensive options—it's the best defensive pick in the game, no one else has it except Falco, merely yeah… shine out of shield correct now is really skilful.
Do yous subscribe to the 20XX idea, that Pull a fast one on played well is unbeatable by whatsoever other graphic symbol?
Okay, this is how I always interpret the 20XX meme or any, right? It'southward not so much that Play tricks is the best character in the game and 1 day everyone volition play Fox—although I think Fox is the best grapheme in the game. I translate it more every bit optimizing whatever character you play and optimizing that to the fullest—considering I don't recollect any graphic symbol has been optimized to the fullest, except Peach is probably the well-nigh optimized character because of Armada, but every other grapheme is way behind.
So let's talk nigh your matchup versus Hbox at Big House half dozen. Subsequently seeing that set I had a hard time imagining Hbox e'er beating a competent Fox again. Do yous experience like you figured out the matchup to the bespeak where information technology's unwinnable for Puff?
That's definitely how I felt when I was playing him, simply I don't want to say that he'll never beat a Fox over again, or that he'll never beat me again, because we've seen him evolve many times, first vs Leffen and then Fleet, only I do experience similar I've found a strategy that makes it really, really really hard for Puff, but I'm not gonna say he'll never beat an optimized Play tricks.
Where did that quantum come from?
It was a lot of studying with Duck, actually. Before my Smooth set with Hbox, him and I but broke down every situation that Puff was in relative to where I was on the stage—anywhere where I was uncomfortable, we broke that state of affairs down, anywhere where I didn't take a response to, like, oh here's right hither, he'due south where he likes to come in, where's where he can become, you know, if he goes here and then I can become in that location, and at that place was just a lot of that breakup. And information technology worked, it helped me a lot at my Smoothen fix, where I trounce him for the first time. And and then this time effectually I did just the exact same affair, but I was able to clean information technology up around the border, give him less free kills, pretty much.
Exercise y'all remember Flim-flam's abilities – agility, lasers, and whatnot – are at the cadre of what helped y'all win, or just agreement how he plays?
Both? I want to say it'due south both, only I think…
Considering manifestly if it's considering you understand his style specifically, then there's more potential for him to change the outcome, only if information technology's the grapheme matchup itself…
I dunno, it's hard to say. I definitely felt that whole set that I was completely in command at every point of the game, and I dunno, it'southward hard to say because I don't want to put the label on it that he cannot come up back from this electric current meta of Puff vs Fox, but at the same time it felt way easier than in the past, that's for sure.
It sounds like you lot don't want to write it off… can you think of a way he can get around information technology?
No, definitely not.
So if yous've been beating Hungrybox, the wall you seem to be hitting is Mew2King. Tin y'all talk most that matchup? Can you take a similar breakthrough at that place?
Yeah, man, I actually thought that Big House 6 was going to be the time to finally break that wall, but the big thing that I forgot was, game five… in game five, you need to come out explosive. If you don't come out explosive, the other player will, and if he gets that early lead, that's only huge. And Mango did the aforementioned matter to me at Super SmashCon, he came out game iv but like. Super clean, super well, but ran at me and got the starting time combo, led to the impale… I felt really confident, I beat him on FD this fourth dimension around too, and that was really great, so I'm feeling improve versus Mew2King, but in that location'southward one little thing that I'm missing, and I'one thousand not sure what it is, and so we'll see I judge.
And then information technology'southward a noesis thing, non a skill thing? You think you take the skill but you have yet to deploy information technology?
Oh, for sure, for sure, honestly I recollect the tiptop 20 are pretty much even so skill, correct? And it's more well-nigh having the right knowledge and using it at the correct time that keeps the height on meridian.
Leffen is back from his hiatus—the perception seems to exist that you have a beefiness with him. Practise yous agree?
I judge and so, yeah. I don't really like the guy, just I don't really hold anything against him either.
What do you think of him as a player?
Uncommonly skillful.
I call up I read that his goal was to become amend than all the Gods—does he have that in him?
Yeah, I definitely think he has that in him. And I retrieve most of the top xv, xx accept it in them besides.
So you're saying they're withal skill level. What would allow one person to actually open that gap? What's the last layer?
I definitely think there are more than layers, like, even within the top, there are more layers. But for me, I had this recent talk with Ice, and it was actually at Clash City, and we were talking almost the Melee script, and pretty much the same topic—why are the meridian 5 or pinnacle half dozen always winning? Why is it always the aforementioned tiptop six at top, and why is it always the same 3 people in the middle, and then the other 12 falling behind them?
We kind of merely threw this idea out that maybe him and I and the players around this skill level are complacent and just falling to their role, like, maybe they don't desire to break out, perchance they're okay with where they are, you know. They're always the underdog, almost of the time rooted for, just peradventure we are, ourselves, I can't fifty-fifty visualize beating the other person. And then at CCC, Ice gave me this actually good mantra to say, while he plays this is what he says and I sort of used it— No ego, we go . It was a good reminder that no matter what we did in the game, whether we get a super cool philharmonic or we get super rekt one stock, never requite into the notion that your brain was trying to give you, right? That way we are ever able to stay at-home and collected and but make adept decisions.
It's cool that you mention Ice, that was someone else I was going to ask virtually. Are y'all good friends? Or was only that a one-off conversation?
I would say nosotros're pretty good friends. I don't talk very oftentimes, simply when we're at tournaments we tend to talk.
Because someone brought upwards this question: "After your set up against Water ice at Large Business firm half dozen, Ice did what was considered a disrespectful mitt gesture. What are your thoughts on that?"
Oh, um yes, someone else was talking most that to me, they said they thought he was doing, similar, a asphyxiate matter, every bit if similar, referencing that I was choking, as if like, oh, like… he choked, don't accept it and then seriously. Honestly, I was but kind of like in my own earth afterwards I lost and I didn't fifty-fifty come across him do the gesture, nor have I watched the vods yet, so I don't really accept any opinion on information technology.
Can you tell me what you lot mean by that, 'you were in your own world?' Does that always happen when you lose?
Yeah, it definitely does, information technology merely sucks to lose, no one wants to lose… well, I should say, none of the top Melee players or competitive players in general want to lose, that's why we're here, we're here to win, and when you lose, it'south… distressing, and I dunno, since Melee 's also and then fast, it can happen in an instant. So our ready, I retrieve it took less than 10 minutes, like 8 minutes or something, I was just similar, woah, what happened—I just had three stocks, like, what happened? How did I lose that and so badly? But I didn't even hear… even when I play, I don't listen to the oversupply, I'g completely locked into the game, in the television, and when I accept the headset off, I'g nevertheless kind of in that zone of like, replaying the whole game in my head, trying to find what went incorrect.
What do you think did happen with the Ice series in item?
It's definitely a mixture of him playing super on point and me… not. I was doing a lot of buffered get-upwardly attacks off of his shine instead of tech-rolling them, or just getting up, and it would happen because I would, like, be pressing a push while he shined me and so information technology would buffer the become-up assail and so a lot of that happened, then he would become a free hit. And it happened once, twice, three times, and I was like, shit, this is just not good… and it just kind of spiraled—lost a lot of my momentum, and he maintained a lot of his momentum, and again it was because he was just playing so on point, I retrieve he made, like, three mistakes that whole fix.
The casters describe him as an extremely technical player, exercise yous recall there is a big gap there or is information technology only kind of a buzzword that gets tossed around? Is he more technical than the average Fox? How much does that play a role?
I would say nosotros're pretty much at the same technical abilities, same with Silentwolf, aforementioned with Lucky—all the Foxes in the top, Armada, Leffen, we all pretty much have the same tech skill, there's no big jump to anyone. But in that location's def a departure between technical knowledge and execution versus tournament execution. And that's what a lot of Foxes don't have, is tournament execution. Only I don't remember—I think this happened to be his game, and he turned it upwardly. Usually he's not able to execute this well, and this time he just pulled it off.
Who is your favorite thespian to watch?
As well myself? I mean, I love watching myself.
Okay, then let'southward say y'all're at a tournament watching live then. Who is your favorite to watch live?
I might be a picayune biased only I love watching Kevin play.
You guys take just a ridiculous bromance going.
It's just really cool to see people fall for the tricks that I fall for all the time, and them getting fucked up by the stuff I get fucked up for, information technology's like, sweet, I took that combo six months ago for this moment right here.
What lesser-known player do you think volition have their breakout soon?
It'due south actually hard to say, because it always comes downwardly to the will, like who has the will to break through? Who'southward gonna cede what needs to be sacrificed in order to jump to that side by side level? And I dunno, it'southward hard to say, there'due south then many people and they can be dragged in all sorts of different directions. I recall Zain from MDVA has jumped a lot this year.
Yeah, he played sick at Large Business firm.
He made a few upsets, I think. But a lot of times what happens is, the players make a breakout, and so they're not able to maintain it the adjacent tournament, and they kinda question, well, what happened then well last time and why can't I do it next time? I think a lot of information technology comes downward to—once they break through, they don't continue to do what they did in the past. They kinda similar go easy on themselves or they ease upwards on the grooming or they don't watch every bit many videos, they kinda go conceited, right? They always make that showtime bound so they kinda just plateau for a little while until they feel ready to brand that side by side jump, you know, go that will.
You mentioned reading earlier, then what kind of stuff do you lot like to read?
By and large neuroscience books or books about the brain or mind, psychology, then correct now I'chiliad reading On Intelligence —that book is really great. I'one thousand also reading Algorithms to Alive By . I don't really read fiction or anything. That's what I was gonna report in schoolhouse, was cerebral science, and so information technology kinda helps me experience similar I'm keeping upwards with my studies if I read these books.
Would you want to be a doctor?
I retrieve I'd rather be more of a researcher, you know conduct various research, possibly how videogames touch on certain structures of the brain, or what structures are beingness used inside the encephalon when you play videogames or something.
It'd be really cool to see some pinnacle tier Melee players hooked up to ane of those things.
Yeah, the MRIs.
The "You're Watching SFAT" serial seems to perplex people. Where did the idea come from?
Information technology just came from my friends and I, it just happened. My friends would be hanging out and they'd kind of rag on me, kinda tease me a piffling bit on my various habits or various things that seemed to happen to me, then they were like, oh well, why don't we like, picture show this, film picayune short sketches of all those little things similar, Zac likes to sleep everywhere, or falls comatose super-easily.
Oh, that's the indicate of the bench one!
Yeah, or how Kevin, considering he plays Marth, unremarkably gets a lot more attention than I do, or at to the lowest degree he did for a long time, because Marth is just super-absurd to sentinel…
Where do you lot recollect Marth is on the tier list? Is he a Meridian 3 character?
2nd, aye, he'southward correct behind Play tricks.
Because, right me if I'm incorrect, simply there are more Top 20 Falcons than there are Marths.
(Counting) S2J, Wizzrobe… I would say there'southward about the same?
What about None?
Oh, aye. Him too.
And then why is that? Why the shortage of Marths?
He's very… he's like, he's very easy to choice up and simply play for a few games and be, like, pretty good with him, simply he's very hard to be super skillful, similar, you accept to know your spacing very well and y'all have to know how to exercise out of certain combos to be a top level winner. Whereas Falcon—Falcon's the same simply he's also very fast and his combos come out a lot easier than Marth.
Which Falcon do you think is the best?
It'southward tough to say, similar—because I believe that just about everyone in the summit 20, perhaps height 30 are very relative in skill level. It'south difficult to say who's the best, right, because I think it constantly changes.
Then let's await at information technology holistically then—non only their skill, merely their power to deploy it. Like let'due south say we had 100 tournaments, who would accept the all-time placing?
I judge it's Wizzrobe, I guess Wizzy's the all-time, but I think Johnny is also very shut behind, and None's fifty-fifty catching up to them. Just right now I think Wizzrobe has the crown for being the best Falcon.
Which not-Top 6 player, who is not you lot, has the best take a chance of winning a major tournament? Excluding the Gods, you, and Leffen.
Plup. For sure. Although recently he'southward been kind of slacking or losing a bit of a competitive edge so—he might not win in the next couple ones, just he has the potential to win.
Exercise you recall he'll be playing a lot of Fox?
I'm not sure, considering he was playing a lot of Sheik at the last weekend. I think it's going to come downwards to what he'south feeling on that day.
Just trying to think of who plays both Sheik and Pull a fast one on, it'due south an odd mix.
I used to play Sheik and Fox, or I had a Sheik chief phase, where I just played Sheik for a long time, and and then I switched to Fox because I got tired of it.
I have a question from TurtlePot here… It says, Bobby Scar has a pretty famous impression of you. Are you enlightened of it? What practice y'all think of it? And do you take a Scar impression?
(Laughs) I did come across it, I saw it on my stream, and I think it's absolute horseshit. I don't remember it sounds like me at all. But I don't actually have a Scar impression—I'm not very good at impressions at all, I'one thousand sorry.
How almost this – which Mario Kart is best?
Oh, Double Dash, hands downwards.
Okay, because the full question is, which i is best, and why is it Double Dash? But I was curious about your answer. So why is that, dude?
Because Double Dash is like the Melee of Mario Kart—you've got tech skills, you've got certain techniques that you need to practice to be good at information technology, and you've got maps, and… I dunno, information technology's on the GameCube.
Where's our competitive Double Dash scene!?
I'thousand trying to start it, human! I'm trying to start information technology.
Okay, if y'all guys commencement it, I'll cover it. Next question: If yous had to ally one of the v Gods, who would information technology be and why?
Marry? Uh… Fuck, I don't know, you know, my middle leans towards Mango.
I mean, that's the organ yous're supposed to use to answer a question like that. Spousal relationship is about the heart!
Yeah, but your eye can be fooled by other extremities… I dunno. I approximate Mango. Only me and Mango would fight a lot, and then…
Who exercise you retrieve y'all'd fight with least if you were living with them for the residue of your life?
Probably Armada. Me and Armada go along pretty well. We just accept common ways of thinking.
Permit'southward talk about food real quick. So a lot of the time athletes volition have a preferred pre- or post-competition meal. Do you have annihilation like that?
I love almonds and protein bars before Peak viii, but we don't always go a lot of time before Height eight. Like, this past tournament, nosotros didn't get a lot of time in betwixt Top 8s. But I love almonds. Almonds are the shit—I'll eat them all tournament long.
I saw Ice had a little bag of trail mix he was eating between games. Is information technology kind of hectic being shuttled around station to station at a tournament like that?
Aye, usually at that place'southward a lot of down time in-between tournaments, though. But it was just, day iii was definitely the busiest because, like—11 o'clock was Top 64, then we play Superlative 64 down to Top viii, until doubles, which is at four—nosotros only really had, like, one-half an hour of interruption for that. And and so we were the kickoff doubles ready to play, and then the terminal doubles set up to play, because we were in Grands, and then again, we only had a half hour break before we had to kickoff playing Top 8 of singles again. Then it was but a very long and busy day. Most tournaments aren't ordinarily that busy, though, they'll cutting it downwards a lot more.
Any final words earlier we wrap this upwards?
Shoutouts to CLG for all the support they give me, CLG'south amazing, I love them. Also shoutouts to 6-5-0, the area code that I live in, with all my homies. And just shoutout to all the fans for the support, I wouldn't be hither without yous.
