Every song is original except the DK rap and Intermission from Doom.
I love you man. We're lucky to have you
Sounds like he was lucky to have you. Which in turn makes is lucky to have you through him.
Melee was lucky to have you, GR
I love u GR
Hey GR, I hope you're doing well.
I've been watching your videos since I started playing smash when I was a kid. My friends would watch your videos around the lunch table while waiting for our turn to 1v1 on the 3ds. I love you man, hope you're doing well
Ah yes, "glock in my toyota", classic gamertag...
Wild that I read this commentnat the *exact* moment that part played
A true inspiration to all gnw mains
Fun fact, glock is actually the best Super Monkey Ball 2 speedrunner in the world.
He's damn good too
@@Its_Koalahe’s not the best is he?
You're seriously one of the best to ever do this whole video making thing man
One of the video makers of all time 🔥

Man shut up bro ain't no one wanna hear u

Donkey Kong slowly climbing from a low tier to a high tier because of dedicated players has to be one of the greatest character arcs in history.
takes his song to a whole new level
"he is finnaly back, to kick some tail"
DK was only ever a low tier on paper. His potential revolves completely around his punish game. Players figured out how to maximize it, and take advantage of mistakes from those playing higher tiered characters. That honestly goes for a lot of low tiers; it's really difficult for them to win neutral, so they have to capitalize on every mistake their opponent makes.
I think Aklo's Link is just as impressive a character arc, as he literally perfected new tech that helped Link win more neutral exchanges against better characters. I don't think that would have happened without Slippi.
Haven’t played competitive melee for like 20 years and haven’t followed it, but I always considered dk upper end of mid tier. Feel like people in our region had a healthy level of respect for dk seeing players like bum go toe to toe with world class players using dk

Blight was a cool villain.
Nobody ever makes videos on Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube
@@Linty_Deluxe
That’s because they’re cowards!
Quite a lot, considering all the topics a video could potentially be about.
25:19 "3 rats using a gamecube controller" followed by "George Bush" is an insane combo
S tier names no one can tell me otherwise
also “Shep I Have Tried Meditation” is also a wild one 😂
I love the internet sometimes
"glock in my toyota" melee always has so many gems
a jojo character followed by a baki character
Literally read this at that point in the video lmao
23:12 This alone is an amazing detail with the scoreboard being obscured by Hungrybox's arm. Your editing just keeps getting better and better every single video
I do want to say, you got me into the Melee scene. I don't play Melee, but I enjoy watching tourneys and stumbling across videos like this time-to-time.
So glad somebody else noticed this!
IT'S CRAZY. How does one do this?
14:57 This is actually untrue, just last month there was a bowser who sometimes goes by “Loadspiller” or for this tournament “Heavenly bruised pelvis” beat rank number #57 fox main Billybopeep at tipped off 15!
_…Ofc._
..I'm just sayin they ain't wrong for it....
Those names are… something
When I read that second nickname, all I can think of is Bowser's Down B.
Playing the worst character in the game kind of obligates you to get a tag like loadspiller
I can't belive Asumsaus would upload a video about Melee how could anybody have seen this coming.
I mean with how frequently he uploads i cant believe it either
seeing the crossovers recently has been a breath of fresh air. both communities coming together to save smash as a whole.
I really wasn't expecting him to get his Melee content all over me, but he really came.
It’s funny how Ness is so bad he wasn’t even included in the low tier section of the vid.
You're so bad, you can't even be good at being bad!
I *want* those glitches to become viable...
That's how bad only having two jumps is
Female and male wireframe were neglected too, but no one points them out.
He's pretty fun when you aren't some Melee competitive sweaty
I think seeing PPMD fighting for his life and trying is best knowing all the shit he was going through at the time is the real hearthbreaking moment of battle of the five gods
Fighting for his life is an interesting term for an overweight, cis, white male who played videos games for 9 months of his life before getting OoOoOoOh So StrEsSeD oUt wahh
wait what happened back then? I'm out of the loop
To be fair, Captain Falcon's knee is considered the best Forward Air in the game because while the sweetspot is extremely strong, the sourspot is also broken. Late knee can set up into a lot of ridiculous things for him. Zelda's sweetspot might be better, but it has to be spaced to get comparable reward to Falcon's knee and a sourspot lightning kick is *really* bad.

Lmao saaame literally fell asleep with the amsa video 😂
So it wasn’t just me doing that
"Almost half the cast is unusable"
"I refuse to play against low tiers"
The same people....
Anyone who "refuses to play against low tiers" is afraid they're actually going to lose, and will get dunked on in CZcams clips. If they really believed in their ability, they would be happy to show it.
Honestly such an archaic mindset that I blocked out of my memory until this video re-surfaced it.
@@bluedistortions sometimes you just don't want to play against a GnW, man. depends on one's mood.
Eh, in some fairness I've seen the same thing happen in other games where people don't like to play against the low tier picks since that's not terribly indicative of what you'll go against in tournament.
Why practice against Pichu and G&W when you'll never see them in bracket? Of course, there's the chance you will see them in bracket but I hope I've delivered the mentality. Not to say I agree with it or do it myself, but I can see how a matchup like that can be "a waste of time".
Not me, I refuse to play against Falco
Hey Asum, your "what is Melee" segment really struck a chord with me...
I'm 31 this month and I got Melee upon it's release when I was 9 (PAL). This game brings back such vivid memories and feelings of my childhood when my bro (17months my junior) and I would play this gem together for hours and hours and hours.
We shared a room and even when our parents sent us to bed, we'd lay in our beds, in the dark, talking about Melee and our favourite Nintendo games.
Of course, when Brawl and other subsequent consoles and games released, the essence or Melee started to fade. Teenagehood started to envelope our lives and the ride we call "life" took off.
I've got a house, a kid, a job and other responsibilities now. Life's not the same as it once was, and whilst I'm still happy, when I see your videos, I get a really vivid sense of nostalgia.
This 20+ year old game that represented so much of my happiest memories is brought back into my life. Your videos act as some sort of continuation of the media that at some point stopped existing within my mental ecosphere.
As is the nature of media, it has to end at some point. Whether it's a book, TV series, film, game or comic - it has to end so another can begin. But sometimes, seeing your favourite piece of escapism simply end is heart breaking, particularly when you feel so connected with it.
We all know there'll never be a Melee 2 or some time travel device that will allow people to experience things for the first time again. But seeing someone so passionate about the game put out such well crafted and interesting videos and info about a game so sorely missed - it's like looking through a window at my childhood again.
I don't actively follow Melee's competitive scene or even play Melee anymore, but I feel that's perhaps for the best, as it makes your videos all the more fresh and new.
So thank you for allowing me to revisit my past with such delight. It's an odd sensation, and one that I don't know makes me sad or happy... but I do look back and appreciate what I have and had.
Never too late to get back into it if you have the spare time and money
Kid yapping over here about how his life was affected by a 20 year old childrens party game. Clearly not true since anyone who plays Melee is sub-human.
Go back in time and touch grass.
@@Instanence Didn't say it changed my life - just said it represented a good time in my life.
Go fuck yourself x
@@Instanence You don't get invited parties too often, do you
@@Instanence you are more or less a decade younger than OP
I played smash ultimate casually for some time with my friends, and like to watch youtube videos about it, and I just knew a bit about melee from hearing about it randomly from time to time, but never played it, and still never have. But I watch a lot of videos about it on youtube, and what made me begin consuming melee content was the “ there will never ever be another melee player like Hungrybox” which made me start watching Hungrybox from time to time. And then, on a random day I just thought “ what is it that makes Fox’s shine so good?”, I typed that on youtube, and found your video, and from that point was when is got really into melee as a whole, and not just Hungrybox.
Keep up the amazing work.
The GOAT returns missed you AsumSaus

14:20 wow kirby got shafted in melee, from the escapable throws to weird hitboxes, at least hes cute
i heard some people want to shaft kirby themselves
He does have one of the best up tilts in the game. Not the best(that's probably Fox) but definitely one of the best, he just doesn't have anything to take advantage of it lol
Sakurai himself admitted to nerfing kirby into uselessness on purpose so people don't think he is biased.
Too bad he is obviously biased but in the opposite direction.
@@ghoulbuster1he disowned kirby as his franchise not even like 10 years in cuz he didnt want to make sequels all his life and now kirby (the video game franchise) is objectively in a better state than ever without him lmao
Kirbo is the strongest character in smash history. HE EATS GODS AND TURNS THEIR SOULS INTO FUNNY HATS&TOOLS. Kirbo itsself realized if he wasn't playing pretend fighting. Kirbo would kill everyone including destroying their very souls and being in reality&time within 5mins. Thus he acts all cute turning everyone into hats&brapping them out. Till master/crazy hand's shows up than *POYIMGOINGTOTURNYOURFUCKINGFINGERSTODUSTANDSNORTTHEMTOGETHIGHIKILLGODSFORFUNOPOYO* OO00ooo
10:41 Great video; judging from the animation, I think you already know that クソゲ－ (kusoge-) actually means “sh*t game,” but just wanted to clarify the irony in case anyone accidentally misinterprets your joke. 笑笑
To add to this, he closes the video by saying "and that, is Melee as shit", which only works if he knows the actual meaning of kusoge 24:48
isnt the way the term is used like a bad game but in an endearing way, like it has plenty of problems but its still fun?
@@an_annoying_catCorrect!
@@an_annoying_cat depends more on if you like the game and play it even knowing it's bad, or don't play the game and think it sucks.
@@an_annoying_cat Sometimes that’s the case; sometimes, the game is funny overall but not fun to play in the slightest, like Stargazers for the NES.
It's amazing to me how strong Melee is still going. I remember how much it felt like the game might go under multiple times, and here it is chugging along better than so many big games to come after it.
All the tournaments in someone's house, garage, back yard, bonus room upstairs where we had to keep quiet, a house of a friend-of-a-friend of the TO. It's wild.
11:13-11:14. Marth's grab sticks out of the thumbnail, a true testament to how Marth's grab can't be escaped, no matter what realm you inhabit.
Yup, and those are the actual thumbnails, not a video-editing trick. Very cool idea with the white border added except for the hand. Doesn't look good in dark-mode youtube though :(
This dude is genuinely a master of his craft

mang0 looks so much happier competing in those modern clips you shared, which says everything I think. thanks for showing the positive light of the melee scene - I love to see that evolution, when I remember so distinctly the long era of "no item, fox only, final destination". to the future, cheers!
The "long era" you mentioned is a tired meme from lame - sorry I don't need to specify lame - Melee players.
I assume he's happier now because he's realized his peak is playing an outdated childrens party game competitively as a grown alcoholic adult.
Yikes! And you cheer for him? Yikes!
@@Instanencemaking money doing that is better than a dead end job kid
@@InstanenceI mean... He's enjoying himself. It's a competitive game that is his passion.
Arguably, all pro sports players are just playing stuff they did as children as well, now to a professional and refined shine.
He can enjoy himself, get paid while doing it, and be part of a great community.
What's there not to like?
@@Instanence You seem like a very unhappy person, projecting your sadness onto others
Best script writer, editor, and creator in general, and it’s getting out of hand recently. I never walk away from any of your videos without feeling something. I’ve watched your amsa video 3 times a cried at the end each time. Love you man. Keep up the amazing work.
sometimes when im bored i binge-watch ur entire channel because ur content is so insanely good
I adore your "What is Melee?" segment. You captured so well the idea that there are so many aspects of this game to love even if you aren't an active competitive player. That's certainly what's kept me in the content creation game for so long, and why I keep trying to contribute to it. I happen to love the game itself, but there's something to be said for these additional aspects you mentioned that can bring in a whole community, even people who don't strictly play the game.
Thanks for another stellar upload!
20:12 I think this puts into words exactly how I've felt over the years when it comes to how I participate and engage with the community. I love playing but I don't consider myself a competitor by any means, and am for sure more interested in telling the stories of this game to people who may be interested in hearing them.
It really means a lot to me to hear that sentiment from someone as legendary you, dude.
To me: People like asumsaus and you walt are pillars of the community. Its hard to truly grasp what happens in melee sometimes so seeing you two break down important moments and events to us truly does spread smash bros to those who have trouble grasping it. You two are some of the gods of smash youtube.
Hey bro, I know you probably won't see this, but I gotta tell you that ur videos are super cool. Me and my little brother have been playing smash since forever, but actually just picked up Melee a month ago. I am in absolute awe at the skill pros achieve in this game, and the competitive scene has truly amazed me. And I never would have known any of it without you. Thanks brother.
i like how you listed all the potential reasons for why someone may like or love melee and have the side note of '... fun' in the corner. thank you for the representation of those of us who like melee cause its fun.

Breathtaking.
Another perk of CRTs I don't see mentioned a lot is their incredible motion clarity. Their response times (distinct from input latency) are practically zero, so motion looks extremely clear and smooth compared to LCDs which take longer to clear the previous frame and draw a new one (causing a slight blurriness in motion that affects even high end monitors to varying degrees).
Besides that, standard definition (480i) games just look way nicer on a CRT than upscaled on an LCD, especially if you have access to S-Video or component.
They are definitely a pain in a lot of ways, though. With good maintenance and calibration you can dial in the geometry imperfections and reduce the area cut off by overscan, but that requires a non-trivial amount of expertise and work.
Still love the bulky things though and really hope melee doesn't switch to monitors any time soon.
That's the actual advantage CRTs have over modern monitors, not input latency. If you understand how both systems work, you realize that there isn't just magically different input delay. The workaround is to have a higher refresh rate monitor that by necessity has better pixel response times and faster progressive scans.
I've speculated that rtc is better on crt cuz of the frame clarity. I've yet to hear a good tech chaser confirm this tho.
CRTs also can display true black in dark environments, unlike LCD panels (though this isn't relevant to Melee because even if the black leveling was like poorly configured component they'd still use them for their motion reasons).
No one makes CRT anymore so its a slowly dying tech.
man, I need to get one of those ha-ha funny plastic screwdrivers, a life insurance policy, a day off, and adjust my PVM. in no particular order. flyback transformer scary 😢 you aren't going to get it "right" unless you do it with it on
For me, your thumbnails have been something I look forward to the most. You weave a narrative in all of them, and they're genuinely funny to look at on their own ❤️
the music in the five gods segment is so good, awesome that its original! the amount of effort you put into your videos is unmatched
This is truely a "ideas from my Smorgasbord notes" type video
The DK part shows that more characters are viable in Melee than most people think
Maybe if people didnt quit on lower tiers, more good characters could be discovered sooner. I wonder how much quicker these developments could've happened if it weren't for ignornace
The year is 2XXX, and today, player xDrzl made melee history, being the first person in over a decade to win a super major with Fox, the game's worst character.
The esports era of gaming. Players that have a competitive mindset will copy what the pros play. If those pros can't figure out how to make a strat/character work in a competitive setting, a lot of players will write it off as trash. It's present in any game with a competitive playerbase.
@@NTelling DK was written off eons before the "esports era" made its way to smash or the larger FGC
I mean, isn't this exactly what happened to Jigglypuff? If I recall correctly, Jigglypuff was considered to be low tier until Hungrybox popularized the character, after which the conversation switched to Jigglypuff being a high tier, and eventually with the conversation even shifting to the topic of whether or not Jigglypuff was so broken that it was unhealthy for the game.
Peak is back on the menu. Great video
honestly that part near the end about being a melee fan despite not playing it kinda hit close to home for me. was obsessed with comp smash a few years ago but didn't really have anyone to play with due to being in an awkward region of australia and it being like the mid 2010s where no one really cared about the game lol, so i used to just watch heaps of clips from grsmash and play against cpus on my 3ds or in dolphin. it was a fun period of time despite being in my own little bubble, and even tho i don't play smash anymore, i still like to watch you and many other people's videos about the game, as well as see what's going on with the community since it is such an old and interesting scene that reminds me a lot of other games i still love and play.
great video as always!!
holy crap that outro music was so good I stayed for the credits
Asum has to drop that
AsumSaus video about Melee? No way!
A vid about melee for melee players
all your videos feel like that melancholic feeling when you're looking at a really beautiful sunset and you know it will be impossible to look at that same sunset in just a few hours, but you just have to enjoy while its still there
I’ve never got into melee competitively but I have a fond nostalgia for the game as I used to play it with my brothers and friends. Haven’t even played Ultimate in a while but the fact that Melee is still around competitively is more than fascinating. I think your videos are funny, SUPER well edited, and most importantly, insightful. This is one of your best yet, for sure.
Oh boy, it’s about that time of year when I watch a dude make an awesomely crafted video of a game I’ve played less than 5 times as a kid
He said it was the single happiest moment of his entire life, but I don't think I've ever seen hbox so calm
He ascended into a moment of perfect mental clarity.
then the drugs startee soon after
he has to pop off nowadays to keep up his energy because hes old
Amazing video, ive barely ever played Melee but i love the deep changing scene around it and incredibly detailed and passionate videos like these.
I knew this community by funny compilations, but lately, I am very grateful of knew it, and seeing this kind of such good and dedicated content, you make more than a great job, keep it :)
4:26 "Anyway." *Two frames of an explosion immediately followed by an ad*
Saw that too lol
Silly
That was so good
I will never play Melee. I gain nothing from the grindset of figuring out how to play the game well. I don't like to compete in high-level play. I don't even watch games or tournaments. I derive no joy from playing the game, nor watching it being played. But boy howdy do I love the game, and I will gladly sit and learn so much about it, from you and others.
The sheer amount of passion that surrounds this game, the way players put in so much time and effort to push what we ever considered to be possible, the way specific aspects of it get so mythologized, the way it takes this roster of all-star characters we all know and gives them all unique purpose and meaning so powerful that it has retroactively changed who they are and how we perceive them on the greater scale, it's all so very wonderful. Smash in general, but in large part Melee specifically, is such a unique cultural touchstone in these regards. Its appeal is so broad and multifaceted that even I, from three blocks down only hearing the thumping of the bass in the distance and seeing the lights on the horizon, can feel like I'm also at the party.
Well put
You can play yhe game without engaging in high level or competitive play. The game literally wasn't even designed around that in mind. I've been playing this game since it came out and I've never been interested in "competitive" - I just like the have fun with items, themed matches, epic 99 stock brawls, all the different stages, etc... plus, the event matches and trophy collecting is fun
This is probably the most eloquent and interesting opinion ive ever seen on youtube comments, if you ever did short essay videos I would watch the all in a heartbeat
PREACH
I don't try that hard, right?
So glad I watched this whole video. Thank you AsumSaus that was an amazing tribute
I don't play or even watch melee but I keep coming back to your videos man, your work is incredible.
awesome video!! its unfortunate that this was made before Tipped Off 15, where a Bowser player by the tag Loadspiller from Massachusetts beat billybopeep, a top 100 player! shoutouts New England Melee
This feels like an hour long video essay in a good way
probably one of the best melee videos I've ever watched
hey wait that pea pod looked a little suspicious
this is honestly a beautiful video and an incredible watch

Banger vid man, these days I find it difficult to play this game, so seeing videos like this is always appreciated
Just the best CZcams chanel. Thank you so much for your work !
I can confirm, this is a Video about Melee. For the Gamecube. That aside, hell yea New upload! This is gonna be a fun one!
This video makes me feel like Melee will truly never die as a concept. So much passion involved in every aspect in and out of the game. Despite playing way less than I used to, I feel even more connected with the scene as it changes and improves every year
SHEP FINALLY TRIED MEDITATION. THIS IS THE MOST UNPRECEDENTED EVENT IN MELEE HISTORY
As a 10 year veteran of the scene I would just like to say that I have heard more new players & casual fans cite your channel as their introduction to Melee than any other source. You’ve genuinely done so much for the scene and brought in countless new players by promoting the quirky and beautiful nature of Melee.
Truly appreciate your effort so so much, things like this keep the fire going for the new generation. Much love 💛
I won't lie, this video has actually made me want to try going to/finding locals again after over half a decade away from local tournament play that I used to do weekly.
@@EnergyBurst2 you absolutely should! It’s good for your soul
I haven't played smash in years, and this channel is one of those I'll come back to often to rewatch/listen to.
Always a treat when we get another one.
Thats amazing editing, i dont usualy notice those sort of things but the work you put on this video showed.. congrats and keep up the great work
This was some beautiful editing and writing
"Shatter the grass ceiling" is an instant add to my vocabulary.
16:02 what an absolutely WILD name for a gamertag
Thank you for plugging the wombo combo vid, a gem that I almost forgot about brightening my day instead.
This is a spectacular video, you are such a talented storyteller. Please keep sharing your art, I love it so much.
It was your channel that got me more into Melee than Ultimate in around 2018. You're so good at conveying the magic of Melee, it's no doubt that countless players have come to Melee because of your videos.
Thank you for being an inspiration.
I haven’t played Melee in yeaaaars, but videos like this have gotten me extremely invested in tournament outcomes.
I actually said “oh my god” like a giddy little girl when I saw this lmao
I love your video so much and shoutout to all the youtubers and fans documenting this gem of a game
I shed a Tear. Great video. Great work over all. Thank you AsumSaus.
What a fantastic documentary about Melee as a whole, I've been watching your channel for years now and despite not being a player nor spectator of tournnaments, I still tune in to your incredibly made videos and I'd be lying if I'd say it didn't make me want to play the game and learn it. I installed and setted up Slippi and will learn Peach once I have the time to do so. Thank you for your work for all these years.
4:58 Actually had hope here…
Really gotta get back to playing Slippi and Melee as a whole. Once upon a time I played competitive Melee online but never entered any tournaments. It was one of the first times I was super into a fighting game and it really changes how you look at things (I tried to make sure I was still having fun). Watching your videos and just thinking back makes me nostalgic and there's never been a better time (at least for me), given I'm in a bit of a dry spell fighting game wise. Love your videos man and thank you ^_^
I never miss an AsumSaus video. Any community would be lucky to have a content creator like you.
i don't think i'll ever play melee extremely seriously, only watch (mainly because no local scene, slippi just isn't the same as getting up close and personal and gaming it out) but videos like these are always fucking awesome to watch. there's just so much passion in the melee community in all aspects that is just inspirational to see. god bless you asumsaus
let's fuckin go joey claire
I just got slippi set up after feeling similarly for a long time. It was like riding a bike, after 3 or 4 games I was doing shine OoS combos. Slippi used to be pretty sweaty, but yesterday and today the few hours I played had a pretty wide range of skill levels. If you are lucky enough to have a good internet connection (pretty much anything but a CG/NAT, then you'll need a VPN) it's a nice way to revisit it. You're right that it's not the same, but they've added nice chat phrases between games that make it wholesome.
8:33 "Diamond dozen" is either an inside joke I'm missing or a very funny bone apple tea situation
i think it was just said weirdly
"Dime-a-dozen", isn't it?
"bone apple tea"
>XD
I think it's on purpose. He also says "two peas and a pot" right at the start of the video and it sounds deliberate.
He also says "blessing in the skies" instead of "blessing in disguise". It's definitely all an intentional joke 🤣
Thx u for getting me into melee for all that it is but thxs for helping keep this game alive and tbh this new era of melee means the game , players and the events can get better . Thxs again
20:58 honestly, same. I dont play Melee or watch any tournaments or livestreams or anything... But i love your videos and watch every single one of them, keeping me engaged with Melee. And truly, thank you for that
5:31 "this looks really hard for puff" LMFAO never change Hbox chatters
LMFAO - bet you didn't even smile typing that. zoomer trash
i just looked for a new asumsaus vid yesterday and now its here
8:30 that pressure broke Hbox's mind even more than his shield.
man that ending had me emotional and I have never wavedashed or L cancelled in my life lmao love your vids bro keep it up
Dude, @AsumSauce, this is really good content. I don't EVER comment on videos, but I wanted to here to say that I find you to be an S-tier content creator.
Funnily enough, despite wanting to, I don't play Melee. It just happens to be the game I enjoy *watching* the most. I am stuck on Ultimate due to not having a good Melee setup. Working on getting a modded Wii going.
Anyway, just wanted to give you maximum interaction points and say thanks for making the content that you do!
Also,@AsumSauce, I humbly offer writing skills if that is reason that you don’t make Melee tournament recaps anymore. They made me a better player and happier.
I just want writing credits for the scripts in some capacity. :))
As someone who’s been watching melee since around 2014/2015, the ending got me super emotional just thinking about how far the game has advanced since then. Great video
You're too good. I've seen Melee stuff before and been moderately interested, but now that I've been introduced ro your stuff, I can't stop watching! Thanks for making these.
I could not have better put it myself, Melee is such a one of a kind game. Asum video, my man.
So cool to see someone else have the same perspective when it comes to the game in forms of content creation. I've spent the past 3 years as a vendor at a majority of the smash events (my booth is in the background of some clips lol). While I haven't played Melee in a long time due to Ultimate being more my pace, I would still watch Melee over any other game in a heartbeat. Even if I don't play it, I still have such a deep connection to it from the people I meet, the work I've been able to do for events or for other content creators, and overall the atmosphere of togetherness the scene has. There is NOTHING that will ever have the same level of connectedness that Melee does, and I will never miss out on it when given the chance. In a game over 20+ years old at this point, and the meta STILL evolving through Yoshis and Donkey Kongs, you better believe I'm gonna watch it unfold, and do whatever I can to show people just how special this game is.
big fan of the music in this, hearing that you made it yourself impresses tf out of me
15:40 zelda's downsmash might not be good at killing but it's still one of the best moves in her kit bc of how fast it comes out and the angle it sends at.
awesome vid as always king you always kill it with em
Just wanted to stop by and say amazing upload - watched it after work as I was already badgering my wife about the joy and insanity that is melee and this video helped me articulate a lot of the “Why” it’s so cool. Inspired to contribute to melee and things that I have passion for in some way.
I thought you had been in the community a lot longer with the content you make, but showing that GRSmash got you into it was chefs kiss.
Seeing you post again genuinely made me happy
looks like ive got something to look forward to after work
I always forget about this channel, but man when I get the notification for a new video…there’s nothing like it. Amazing channel
So glad to see you back. Love the great content per usual❤❤
