The final sets proved to be an intense and highly strategical battle of the 2 best characters in the game. In the first set, Cobalt pulled off a surprising first match victory against Amaterasu's own main character, thereby giving Cobalt the critical deciding coutnerpick. Amaterasu attempted to fight the match on more levelled territory, with a strategy to play very defensively against Cobalt's unknown Meta Knight. This stategy worked until Cobalt's final hand came into play, switching to Snake and counterpicking on Corneria. With 2 highly effectively placed up-smash edgeguards, Cobalt was able to shut down Ammeren's game with a crushing 2 stock-low % defeat, with killer blows delivered from zero %.
 
The second set picks up where the first one started, with a Meta Knight ditto on a Random stage, Amaterasu opting to ban Corneria. He gained the first win of the set, allowing him to eventually play on a stage of his preference. Come the third and final match, it was decided on Battlefield against Cobalt's Snake (The second match was won through Snake's utilt kills against Meta Knight on PK1 - a stage with low ceilings). This proved to be a difficult stage for Snake as he struggled to gain any ground footing against Meta Knight's flurry of options to keep Snake above the platforms. The final set was settled in a rather decisive final match.
 
Amaterasu claims his key to victory was to perform aerial fakeouts in order to exploit Snake's aerial lag if he chose to intercept.
