Edit: not sure why the video isn’t there anymore, but he said something along the lines of: the scene is stagnating now that the game has entered end of life and tournaments are being cancelled, and he feels like there’s nothing to grind for anymore. On the other hand he always enjoyed SF casually and SF6 has a proper training mode, rollback netcode, cool gameplay and most importantly crazy big tournaments and prizes.

He’ll be back for smash 6 when it releases, if the next month and a half of training in SF6 will get good results

    As a smash bros fan, this is such sad news. I love Fatality’s playstyle and personality. His Falcon was a treat to watch, for real. His 10-0 against Marss was peak content lol.

    I do understand the switch, though. Every pro player has always complained about the lack of money in the smash scene and how difficult it is to make a decent living competing, so it makes sense for him to switch games.

    I guess it’s also a way to get more into SF6, what with Riddles getting deep into it as well.

    Frankly, sometimes it seems the Smash scene is slowly dying ever since the SWT and Panda Cup Finale fiasco, and the last Summit. It really does suck as a fan.
