Super Smash Bros. Ultimate can be a very chaotic. Even with tournament format rules in place, it can sometimes be very difficult to predict exactly how a match will play out.
An interesting clip was recently showcased by TF|Demi, the Mr. Game & Watch user in the scene. By this point, he was already 0-2 against Spice’s Hero, and it looked like he was on track to lose the third match as well.
Right as the clip begins, we see that Mr. Game & Watch, the third lightest character in the game, was already at 119% damage. Meanwhile, Hero had only taken about 36% damage and had just activated his Psyche Up action from his Command Select. Both players were on their last stocks.
Though Demi was able to land a few more hits against Hero, Spice only needed to respond with a single attack of his own to knock out Mr. Game & Watch off the top. Indeed, all Spice had to do at this point was put down the controller and he would’ve won the game.
However, Spice instead saw this as an opportunity to perform a taunt that only Hero is capable of. As such, he activated his down special, pulling up the Command Select menu once again.
He was provided the options to use Snooze, Sizzle, Kamikazee, and Heal. Despite it being the third option, Spice opted to move his cursor to “Kamikazee” and activate it without any hesitation.
The idea was simple: Mr. Game & Watch would perish in the background just before Hero completed the longwinded Kamikazee animation. This would produce an epic freeze screen that centered on Hero just before he exploded.
Unfortunately for Spice, he was a bit too quick in selecting Kamikazee. Before Mr. Game & Watch lost his last stock of the game, Hero had blown himself up.
From the player cameras, it can be observed that both players were surprised by this. They both had an amusing reaction to the scenario
As mentioned before, it was actually the Mr. Game & Watch player that uploaded this clip. He labeled it on X as the “most skillful victory with Mr. Game & Watch.”
