Melee’s Rank 1 player makes the Rank 46th player look new 

And then it’s even crazier when Zain gets outclassed at the same tournament. We have such a talented top 10

I think that’s the whole point of the video

I’m thinking it’s less skill gap, moreso Zain’s ability to play into Aura’s own weaknesses. Hell, aura could just be nervous fighting him because, he’s #1.

In all seriousness he was playing really well despite getting bodied. I don't watch a lot of melee besides like mango. but I could tell from the little things he was doing to try and claw back or just hanging in there it's rough out there.

Not 99.9% lol. More like 95% probs. Still a lot but top 50 is so fringe. There are lots of hidden bosses out there or players who just weren’t active enough in 2022. Even some dude named Zion just bodied hbox yesterday and I’ve never heard of him when I’ve followed this scene closely since 2015 lmao

You might even say it was absolutely inZain.

Yeah but he plays marth so i dont really care

that dancing reminded me of PP... so cool

Braised then basted? lmao you don’t cook, do you?

@@thegoodgeneral lol could happen

@@thegoodgeneral who cares, his comment was funny, yours wasn’t 🤡

@@Jeff.S. funny is subjective. Your mom being a slut is objective though.

You can see him absolutely mashing the fuck out of his controller when he does it lol

What time did you notice it

@@jrodd13 That’s how you get it done brother.

@welovecurling Nah, there's definitely like thousands of universes where Aura pulled it off.

@@CreamyPesto505 nah

@welovecurling technically this is not correct, thus wrong.

@@sareaper69 « technically » 🤓

It's super precise and zain is very accurate with the up-b ledge cancels so, I have to believe that yes it was on purpose

It was definitely on purpose, seeing as he missed that same up-b cancel earlier in the game. Still nuts though

bro pulls shit like that all the time. at this point it’s to be expected 😅

Most pros do everything on purpose, even if they make a mistake the decision before the mistake they factor in the chance they make a mistake and know how to get out of it. Tech flubs like basic shit like getting stuck in shine or something is obviously never intentional but 99.9% of stuff is.

He was going for nair -> upb, but probably knew that if it misses he can edge cancel it

Very underrated comment in my book 🤣👏👍 imma have to use that one some day!

He has been doing aerial neutral b for a while I think And side b is probably mostly to flex with side b 3 down spike

Marth Side B Edge guard flex has been used since the early days of M2K. Its just a style thing and not optimal but very hype.

Its also a good mixup

Ppl way better now , cause ppl used to get 4 stock back in 2013 lol.

Curious as well

I thought he sounded like Chillin, but apparently according to the schedule and credits, it’s a guy who goes by “Stude.” I’ve never heard of him before today, but yeah his commentary sounds really insightful and hopefully he’s invited to do it more often 👍

Shut up nerd

stude the GOAT!

I think it was on an episode of The Reads where Scar started talking about platonic ideal and used a cup as an example and I'm like, "I'm just here to watch some sick Melee and laugh".

Underrated 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Or comment if you have something better but we need a name for it cause the commentators never know what to say when it happens

It’s usually called ankle breaking

I thought amsa and none were out at 9th?

@@lth_lch that comment was before shit went down i mean i just checked the bracket to late but well jmook got the win thats awesome

did he get the repeat?

@@PrestoJacobson nope

Bro this is top 32 winners of genesis, aura is clearly insane for having made it this far

You can tell someone who doesn't go to locals by shrugging off anyone who isn't top 20. To make it top 32 is insane.

@@EC_Tavo do you compare Krillin to Goku because he's the strongest human?

Anyone who makes top 32 at a big tournament is really good, Aura got ranked 46th in the world for last year and you clearly don't know what you are talking about lmfao. Act like anyone outside of the top 10 is dogshit at the game comparably. Zain just dominated this set.

Why would you pop off for beating someone who went out at 97th?

More like rank 97th

True just stay local you will be pleased with positive people

Who would you say has a stronger mental game right now? Because Zain is also incredibly consistent and it’s basically impossible to be at your best *all* the time.

@@ADavidJohnsonProbably Jmook if I were to just throw a name out there.

​@@ADavidJohnson I'd maybe argue for Amsa just because Zain does seem to choke more in important matches.

@@ADavidJohnson amsa, jmook. zain has come a long way with his mental but it wasn’t that long ago that he developed a bit of a rep as a choker, and i say that as a diehard zain fan

I think it’s not hubris. Confidence is a lot of how competitors do well - if this will make him feel more confident it will help him win

@@exigency2231 jk

Marth hater spotted

No hate, just facts

@@Thierce His marth is sick, but this is like if anyone in the community played me and my young link. They'd look like gods too.

@@Aarlaeoss Bro this is winners top 64 at Genesis. Aura might not be on the same level as Zain but he's still a really good player, not a newbie/ trash lowtier secondary

@@Thierce My experience with melee is that it doesn't take a massive skill difference to allow someone to completely dominate matches. Slightly experienced players can wipe the floor with noobs, the top 200 players can do the same with the former, and top 100 with the aforementioned, and the cream of the crop can often dab on the top 100. Aura might be good, but he is far enough for Zain to absolutely trounce unless Aura is playing out of his mind. Suddenly, this performance from Zain isn't wildly impressive, it's just a flashy skill difference showcase. If this was Leffen or Mango and Zain danced on him to this extent, then I'd be starstruck.

They literally complimented Aura and said he’s very good and also a nice guy. We must’ve heard different commentary.

What does this even mean?
