Board 8 > Wanted to share an awesome Smash Ultimate moment w you guys [Sans] [Sephiroth]

(+) Yeah! (+)

So Sephiroth came out in Smash late last year and obviously we all freaked out about it, and I personally am never allowed to complain about anything ever again.

Since then I've been exclusively playing Sephiroth online. It's been fun. I've gotten decent but am still trash. Anyway, the point is, I hadn't been following Smash news much before the Sephiroth reveal. I had heard something about Sans getting into Smash as a Mii Fighter costume, and I know someone had trolled me on here about it but it kind of went in one ear and out the other.

I don't know what day it was, but it was at least a month after Sephiroth was released and I was getting online after work to put some grinding in to get better, which was something I did every night just about since Sephiroth came out. Usually this is a peaceful time for me to enjoy my favorite game. My girlfriend usually plays on her phone behind me and watches me either yell about the opponent using cheap characters or having bad connection. That or relentlessly shit talk.

All of the sudden the Vs. screen pops up. Sephiroth vs....

SANS?

WHAT?

I literally shout WHAT THE FUCK??? and my girlfriend is very confused by my reaction as I'm instantly put into a state of frothing anger about it. This is compounded when fucking MEGALOVANIA starts playing on whatever stage we're on.

And it's compounded EVEN FURTHER when I start getting my shit absolutely MIXED because I haven't fought a single Mii Gunner yet and have no clue what to fucking do. So "Sans" takes my first two stocks relatively easily while I'm getting used to him. My girlfriend can't figure out why I'm so particularly animated over this opponent but I tell her I'll explain later. Anyway, I get his first stock off him, and early into his second stock I get a Shadow Flare shield break into an extremely early Giga Flare KO and the match is ON, even though I'm at like 85% on my final stock and he's just starting his.

But as we all know, with One Winged Angel in effect, and Sephiroth's ABSURD damage output, comebacks are not far fetched. I just have to avoid Sans' two or three really spammable kill moves. Fortunately for me, he's relied on them WAY TOO HEAVILY for the first part of the match and I'm starting to read him. And he falls into a Shadow Flare one more time. It's not this way any more, but back when Seph first came out, getting Shadow Flare on someone made them ABSOLUTELY PANIC, and this guy had JUST lost a stock because of it moments ago so he was running the hell away from me, making it easy.

I whacked him off stage, just as the shadow flares hit, but he didn't quite die. In his panic though he used his air dodge. Anyone who mains Sephiroth knows when an off-stage opponent panic uses their air dodge, your eyes light up. I had to do it. I leap off, time it just right, and then BOOM DOWN AIR SPIKE KILL TO COMPLETE THE COMEBACK.

Cue the biggest, most obnoxious pop off of my life.

UR GONNA HAVE A BAD TIME

GEEEEEET DUNKED ON, PUSSY

STUPID FUCKIN MEME GAME TRASH HOLD THIS L AND LEMME GIVE YOU A LITTLE A DIS PEAR, AS A TREAT BITCH

Then i turned around and started to explain to my gf the history of Board 8 and Undertale but about 90 seconds in she tuned out and I was back to fighting randoms

I haven't come across another Sans player yet but I know the day will come when I'll have to teach that meme game trash another lesson in pain.

Anyway, figured you guys would appreciate this

Oooook then

I thought you were going to burn all your Nintendo merchandise

---

This was a lot of effort to type out a story that boils down Undertale living rent free in your head.

Sounds like megalovania really hyped you up!

---

This is the most Extha topic in B8 history

Congrats on the win though

forreal though. IDK what move it is, think it's side-smash but it is SO obnoxious.

---

I'm instinctively suspicious of all Mii players online, myself.

---

don't have too much problem with brawler or swordfighter honestly, but gunner gives me fits even when he's not trying to make me have a bad time

---

This makes me very happy

Awwww yeah, a Legendary moment to be sure!

@CaptainOfCrush you've got to see this.

Little hands in his sweatshirt pockets with an obnoxious grin BITCH

Did you save the replay?

The one that fires a bunch of stuff and then launches you? Yeah, side smash. Mii Gunner is easy to counter, but if you don't know what's coming you're screwed.

I love playing as Wolf and running into a character like Gunner or Mega Man that legitimately literally CANNOT deal with reflect. It's so hilarious. They end up having to try grabs all match and they just get destroyed.

I really need to pick up Wolf as an alternative since he's just about god tier in ultimate
