Marckiemoo vs BalloonBoy - Grand Final - Spring Championship 2026 - NA 1v1

0:00 on the triple B.

0:01 Double M on the triple B.

0:03 Couldn't have put it better myself.

0:05 Um one thing to point out though, Balloon Boy fighting from elimination side,

0:08 he's got to win two sets to win spring championship.

0:11 And he struggles to win one against Marky Moo.

0:13 No disrespect, that's just how dominant Marky Moo is,

0:16 not only in this game, but specifically in this match up.

0:19 And Balloon Boy coming out of the gate,

0:20 he is in a full sprint right now, right towards Marky Moo.

0:24 The pace of this game completely different from what

0:25 we saw during the previous set against Darwin.

0:27 I mean, imagine the hype that he's coming off of though.

0:29 Imagine how it feels to clutch that set,

0:32 that game five against a Darwin from Marky Moo.

0:35 Beating him up over on the left side.

0:37 Balloon Boy, are you going TO MAKE IT BACK UP on stage?

0:39 I'M NOT I'M SURE he gets it done, but Marky Moo right there in his face still.

0:41 Fighting back on arm, brings it up TO THE SKY.

0:43 DARE FROM BALLOON BOY, WEAPON THROW DOWN.

0:45 MARKY MOO PEELS HIM OFF THE LANDING.

0:47 YEAH, that weapon throw down, it would have hit Marky Moo,

0:50 but the second it did, he got caught in the D light stun.

0:53 So, it's not technically an active weapon toss at that moment

0:55 to interrupt any move that comes after from Marky Moo.

0:58 He's going to have a huge lead early on in this game.

1:01 Barely in the orange at this point is the D light in the side air.

1:03 The chase after looking for the neutral air right after that.

1:05 Chase after is again here.

1:07 Neutral signature, the flame sword coming out the ground pound attempt.

1:12 Okay, does he get THE STOCK HERE?

1:14 BALLOON BOY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DUDE?

1:18 DON'T DO WHAT YOU JUST DID AGAINST DARWIN

1:22 and then let all of the spaghetti fall out

1:24 of your pockets on the floor and then slip

1:27 in your own mess right in front of Marky Moo.

1:30 You can't be doing that.

1:31 I can't I can't handle this, Marky.

1:33 I am old.

1:34 My heart cannot deal with this.

1:36 As Balloon Boy down two stocks to Marky Moo.

1:40 Oh, no, he catches him in the air.

1:41 MARKY MOO WAS ON FIRE this game, bro.

1:43 GC D light barely misses.

1:49 Man, Marky Moo's really been ratcheting up the unarmed game play this weekend.

1:53 His ability to go in.

1:54 Balloon Boy throwing a He almost Man, come on.

1:57 Just get away from there, dude.

1:59 Just get away from there.

2:01 There we go.

2:02 Recovery is going to confirm.

2:04 I mean, he's trying to slow the bleeding just a little bit,

2:07 but that is a band-aid on a huge huge cut.

2:11 Side light's coming out.

2:13 One of the things that was really working for him

2:15 against Marky Moo previously was a lot of neutral lights.

2:17 He hasn't really thrown out too many neutral lights on the blaster

2:19 so far in this game to catch like a slightly elevated Marky Moo.

2:22 He's going to get trouble with that.

2:24 He wasn't exactly ready for how high he was

2:27 going to be after that gravity cancel neutral signature.

2:29 It can be a little bit difficult to estimate

2:31 that given how far out he was from the wall.

2:34 So, you're doing a lot of like

2:35 second-to-second frame-to-frame extrapolation on I'm here,

2:38 where exactly am I going to be?

2:39 And his hurtbox peeked up a little bit too high that's

2:42 that the side light was able to hit him right above that ground.

2:45 That I just That stock, what are you doing, man?

2:48 211 damage.

2:49 Yeah, like what are you doing in that moment?

2:53 All right.

2:54 Balloon Boy having some more issues yet again

2:56 as he is going to restart his game.

3:00 Um Can we get that that edge guard on the left side again?

3:02 Yeah, absolutely.

3:02 Sometimes it's real Most of the time it's really easy to be a Balloon Boy fan.

3:06 Sometimes it's really hard to be a Balloon Boy fan.

3:10 you playing it.

3:10 We need to we need to see it if that's okay.

3:14 [laughter] All right, here it comes.

3:17 Now the one on the left side.

3:19 There's the ground pound just a little or the neutral signature,

3:21 excuse me, just a little bit too high on the side light.

3:25 Okay, here we go.

3:25 There's the side light over the edge.

3:27 He gets to the reverse down air, gets caught with that down air.

3:30 Go back on stage.

3:31 Yeah, just What are you doing?

3:33 And he just lets Marky Moo drop the boot when Marky Moo is in sweat beads.

3:38 I cannot believe.

3:41 That that definitely pushed the envelope there.

3:43 I mean misjudged that moment.

3:45 Yeah, it's unfortunate and it gives Marky Moo

3:47 one step closer to being your spring champion.

3:50 He just needs two more games against Balloon Boy.

3:52 Meanwhile, Balloon Boy still needs six.

3:54 Ooh, six games.

3:56 It's a lot, man.

3:57 Has he won that many in the history?

3:59 We were looking earlier.

4:03 Let me get Marky Moo up here.

4:05 I mean, yeah, but I mean Huh, that's just rough.

4:08 That's just very very rough.

4:09 There is a breakdown.

4:11 Not a signature hit across the board.

4:13 The everybody was um 0% on those.

4:16 And we see those light attack percentages and not a whole

4:18 lot of attacks thrown out from a Balloon Boy in that game.

4:21 Um he definitely was having a hard time getting anything going.

4:27 So, one thing I just noticed Yes, sir.

4:30 on the history between these two players when I was looking

4:33 on your computer screen is their career history is 18 to 4.

4:37 Yes.

4:37 So, that is a 4.5x.

4:41 Yeah, it's a 4.5x.

4:43 ratio between the matches that they've won.

4:46 Meanwhile, if you look at the games that they've won, it's 54 to 33.

4:51 So, less than a 2x between the two.

4:54 So, it shows that when they face each other,

4:57 even though Marky Moo comes out on top [music] in the end almost every time,

5:01 it's after a lot of games.

5:02 Like it's a game four, it's a game five.

5:03 It's not a lot of 3-0s coming out from Marky Moo,

5:06 even though overall the result is that he's victorious.

5:09 even in BCX 2025 just this last year,

5:12 Balloon Boy I mean, Balloon Boy took more stocks.

5:15 I mean, in grand finals and still ended up falling to Marky Moo.

5:19 It's just It's just It's his kryptonite.

5:23 We're still waiting on him to get back in.

5:26 Hoping he can show up quickly so we can see if

5:28 he's got what it takes to dethrone the current world champion.

5:33 I don't know.

5:34 Marky Moo's looking I mean, Marky Moo's just looking way too good

5:36 he is, too.

5:37 He has just been on autopilot straight through this bracket.

5:40 [music] Flower did give him a little bit of trouble.

5:43 That that game went to game five.

5:45 But before that, I mean,

5:46 the only person to take a game off of him was Money and that was 3-1.

5:50 Before that, he 3-0ed [music] Sweaty Meat.

5:52 I mean, it's just been an absolute Marky Moo steamroll.

5:55 Future Bubble did take a game.

5:57 Bubble.

5:57 Shout out Future Bubble, man.

5:59 He was one of the few that was able to take a game.

6:01 It was Money taking a game.

6:02 It was Future Bubble taking a game.

6:03 Then like you said, the game five against um Flower and then the game

6:06 five against Balloon Boy that we saw in the winners finals as well.

6:10 So, only a few people Wait, who's who's Zuxed?

6:14 I have no idea.

6:14 Cuz he got a game off of off of Big Mark.

6:17 Okay, okay.

6:18 Early on in groups, man, in top 256, brother.

6:22 That was back in the best of three.

6:24 He ended up Shout out Zuxed, brother.

6:26 Yeah, man.

6:27 That's huge.

6:28 That's got I could have taken a game off of Marky Moo.

6:30 I could.

6:31 You could?

6:31 Yeah.

6:32 Yeah, the the racks just be like that.

6:33 Dude, he don't know He He has no idea.

6:35 He He don't know.

6:36 He don't know.

6:37 They call Ski Mask the Marky Moo slayer.

6:39 He just He don't get in the arena with Big Spark and the nine decks lord racks.

6:44 Let me just say, [laughter] he should count his lucky stars that I

6:48 was not a coach during the Ski Mask the Slump God 99-0 challenge.

6:55 But I got the job done.

6:55 I would have got the job done.

6:57 Cuz let me tell you,

6:58 those coaches I don't I'm I I just think I would have done a better job.

7:04 They were like, "Here, here's a stingray coaching him." Yes.

7:07 [laughter] Okay.

7:07 And they were like, "Yeah, try the Cassidy.

7:09 Try the Cassidy Ski Mask." And I was I was literally in chat.

7:12 You can look up the logs right now and I was like, "Ignore your coaches.

7:15 Play the Zsolt.

7:16 Ignore your coaches.

7:17 They do not have your best interests at heart.

7:20 Play the character that you know how to play."

7:22 And then who did he get it done with?

7:24 Who did he get it done with?

7:25 It was the Zsolt.

7:26 Of course it was the Zsolt.

7:27 It was always going to be the Zsolt.

7:29 Don't try to take someone and put

7:30 them on a something they're not comfortable with.

7:32 Yeah, the neutral signature on Cassidy is really good.

7:34 None of this matters anymore.

7:35 We're back, baby.

7:36 Let's get into this.

7:37 We are in grand finals.

7:39 Marky Moo is up 1-0.

7:40 We got the reset here from the client

7:43 the client state from Balloon Boy coming into this one.

7:46 Let's see if after that reset he can reset the bracket and go into a second set,

7:51 a second best of five against Marky Moo here in the grand finals.

7:54 I'm I'm hoping he just reset his computer, his router, his brain.

7:58 I mean, his controller or anything he needed to reset.

8:01 Hopefully it is reset because he has got a whole lot

8:05 of work to do compared to game number one against Marky Moo.

8:08 All right, we're going into Small World's End.

8:10 He's going to have a bigger wall to play with here.

8:13 So, hopefully if he finds himself off stage,

8:16 which he almost certainly will AND DOES RIGHT AWAY,

8:19 HE HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM TO PLAY WITH, BUT MAYBE IT'S NOT GOING TO MATTER.

8:22 There's the side air as well.

8:23 The recovery almost high enough to clip Balloon Boy, but he gets through.

8:26 There's the side light again.

8:27 He's back on stage.

8:28 Did you see in light the turn on neutral air the recovery?

8:30 Balloon Boy fades away, hits the side air.

8:32 There's the recovery.

8:34 The weapon toss is going to go wide.

8:35 The arcing weapon toss Is he going TO LOSE A STOCK OFF OF THIS?

8:38 HE DOES LOSE HIS STOCK OFF of this.

8:40 A 26 second stock.

8:42 That weapon toss was unbelievable.

8:45 Had just enough arc to move out so

8:47 that Marky Moo could cover right alongside that wall.

8:50 And then he had that other weapon toss, that pillar going right behind him.

8:55 I need to see something from Balloon Boy real quick cuz this is not it.

8:58 Marky Moo is in 100% control right now.

9:02 Full stock advantage.

9:04 No sign of slowing down.

9:05 Finally, Balloon Boy getting a weapon throw out.

9:06 Trying to break things up a little bit.

9:08 Got that blaster arm back on.

9:09 See if he's going to be able to do something

9:11 with it when he's obviously more confident on this weapon.

9:13 Letting the nairs fly.

9:15 Finds his way back up on stage.

9:16 Marky Moo pull him over.

9:18 There we go.

9:18 We see the D light.

9:19 Push him over.

9:20 The stock's gone and deleted.

9:22 Somebody get the fork cuz it's about done.

9:24 He's It seems like Marky Moo just has everything on him right now.

9:28 He sends him over onto the edge.

9:29 Like the only thing that Marky or that Balloon Boy

9:31 has on the edge is when he has the blasters.

9:32 He has the neutral air to at least

9:34 stave off Marky Moo's attempt at the edge guard.

9:38 Which they then just reset back onto the main stage.

9:40 That's a great recovery.

9:41 Could be the start of something special here

9:43 as he swaps back over onto the blasters.

9:45 But he's about a full stock behind as Marky Moo comes in with the scythe,

9:48 the weapon he's been destroying Balloon Boy with all day.

9:51 There's the neutral air.

9:51 He waits.

9:52 He's careful.

9:53 Dude, these these side air answer backs from Balloon Boy,

9:55 the rare GC side thing.

9:56 But these side air answer backs

9:58 from BalloonBoy have been completely [music] whiffing

10:00 and Markee Moo is able to time them out and get the hit right after.

10:03 Okay, nice.

10:04 That was a good gravity cancel Dlight.

10:07 But Markee is so locked in.

10:09 Oh my god.

10:11 Player one wins.

10:13 Yeah, just yeah, just it's okay.

10:14 Just it's okay.

10:15 This is this is tough, man.

10:17 I like I I I I I I I I I brutal.

10:18 I don't know how you do I like I don't know how you do with this as a player.

10:21 Okay, there's double gen.

10:22 Here's the swap to double gen.

10:23 I don't know how you do with this as a player.

10:24 You Like I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:27 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:28 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:29 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:30 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:31 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:32 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:33 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:34 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:36 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:37 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:38 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:40 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:41 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

10:42 I I I I I I I I I It's not even like IT'S

10:44 A GUY IN ANOTHER region who beats you on LAN a few times a year.

10:46 It's literally a guy you got to see

10:48 like every single time you play this video game.

10:50 Oh oh my god.

10:53 It's over.

10:54 It's It's It's It's It's Oh my Oh, Rocket BalloonBoy able to reverse it.

10:58 Wait a second.

10:59 I'm sorry.

11:00 My belief will never falter again.

11:02 GET IT DONE.

11:02 GET IT DONE.

11:03 OKAY, MARKEE MOO coming back up on stage.

11:05 The dare is going I mean the dare is

11:06 going to go ahead and open everything back up here.

11:08 BalloonBoy fighting back with the devil gen.

11:11 Catches a landing off the neutral light.

11:13 Is he going to let him fly off stage?

11:14 No, going to go up and scare sky with a dare.

11:16 Markee Moo fighting back.

11:17 Pushing him off.

11:18 Disarm.

11:19 Wait a second.

11:20 Goes back out there.

11:21 Gets his gauntlets.

11:22 Little early on the recovery.

11:24 Some of the most gauntlets we've seen from Markee Moo during this entire set.

11:27 We saw some previously in the winner's finals.

11:29 Obviously it was the recovery from the gauntlets

11:31 that was taking away so many stocks from BalloonBoy.

11:34 He's he's just going to chase him right after.

11:35 He's just going to chase right [music] after him.

11:37 No sweat whatsoever.

11:39 BalloonBoy doesn't pull out of it in time.

11:41 You wanted to hold it long enough because I think

11:42 he didn't expect Markee Moo to chase down that far low.

11:45 deep, bro.

11:46 But yeah, it was it's just over after that one.

11:48 Let's see if BalloonBoy can answer back.

11:49 He has Markee Moo potentially in KO damage.

11:51 He's going to have to hit a real KO move.

11:52 Not like he's yeah, like like a Dsig, maybe a recovery.

11:56 It can't just be like an inlight from the wrong side

11:57 or even the right side of the stage to get it done.

11:59 Markee Moo trying to catch that landing.

12:01 Ooh.

12:02 Right there with the neutral lights.

12:03 Oh my goodness.

12:04 BalloonBoy, you have literally got to fight back.

12:10 Yeah, he's just like he's [laughter] he's

12:11 he's just running into him at this point.

12:12 There's there's virtually nothing he can do.

12:14 The freight train has reached like terminal velocity

12:16 and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

12:19 The brakes are broken.

12:20 They were never even installed in the first place.

12:23 Oh no, another dare.

12:25 Upper third down.

12:25 There he catches him off the recovery and just like

12:27 that Markee Moo is one stock away from being your spring champion.

12:32 BalloonBoy is going to have to have a generational comeback right

12:36 here to be able to even extend this set at all.

12:41 Markee Moo needs one stock.

12:43 BalloonBoy needs six games.

12:45 Markee Moo with a full stock lead here.

12:47 We saw that one amazing rally and comeback

12:50 from BalloonBoy in the first set that they played today.

12:52 But other than that, anytime BalloonBoy's

12:54 been in this position against Markee Moo, it's always gone to Markee Moo.

12:57 It's the Dlight even the turnaround there's a sidelight in the neutral air.

13:01 The down air as well.

13:04 Down air as well.

13:06 Going to be a ground pound?

13:07 No, doesn't need to be anything.

13:09 It's over just like that.

13:11 Markee Moo is going to end it right there and Markee Moo is

13:14 your 1v1 spring champion for North America and he made it look easy.

13:19 I can't say it any other way.

13:21 That was That hurt.

13:22 Yeah.
