Melee Has Changed. 

yoshi cult arise!

@@kribyV_ yoshi = mid

Yoshi was always my main so I was always mildly annoyed that no one ever won majors with him. But is he viable?

@@VI_universe no u

It made me sad. Competitive melee is dead.

Huzzah!

calling asum saus "king of melee" is like calling an algebra professor "the king of math"

Oh hey it's that guy from the Asmongold react videos

Its mr mact man

bro has that winner's smile

Its the dude that bullied the Christian youtuber!

​@@Timic83tc You mean exposed a toxic liar that literally broke RU-vid ToS and overall was a horrible person to many others.

Not to mention him working full time while mastering and defining a character meta basically by himself. Leffen could never

@@Wapfgaming And basically creating the melee scene in japan

Strong work ethic is a foundation of Japanese culture. Translate that into a man determined to main Yoshi, and there you go.

I just watched that aMSa documentary and wow, I think he is my favorite player now. What a story. Such a great dude.

​@@BrokenladderWait until you hear about M2K manually drawing frame by frame every single moves for every single characters

I think it's about bringing that shit, Kazuma!

Wow. This comment is so incredibly stupid on multiple levels its absurd

Whatever you say Millennial. (Trying to make this the new “OK Boomer” because millennials suck just as much as Boomers do)

Indeed

so true man

its a holiday, because he uploads annually

I agree But it doesn't mean nerfs don't need to be made sometimes I think you can imagine something like this as if some Smash 4 players refused to play the last version of the game because, idk, they played Bayonetta and she got nerfed Kinda stupid. I do believe the scene would be more diverse if ppl played PAL

A big what if would be what if they never released NTSC. Straight to PAL and people would probably find the same entertainment value because they had nothing to compare it to. It's unfortunately probably a worse side of human nature. If the Melee community was true to the game like the rest of the smash community is true to every digital buff in Ultimate, we'd see more diverse majors and I think it would be great for the game. But everyone who has a say in what happens except for Amsa has chosen a top tier and is gatekeeping.

@@americantimemachine7128as asumsaus already said, the buffs and nerfs of pal really didn’t change much of anything in the grand scheme of the meta. Just look at the European scene from before they switched to NTSC. Pretty much the same set of characters were all popular.

@MercyMainBTW if you consider the timespan in which the game has thrived until now, of around twenty years, and how lengthy was the process for we to arrive at the current scene, I do think the size of the rest of the Smash scene outside of the USA and the time they had has impacted it really hard on it's development. There's a nice video of Akshon Esports released a few days ago that simply commented superficially on the ruleset of the competitive game, and from its release to just the current stages list took around 6 or more years idk, to decide the stages list. The last solo Sheik to win a major was at 2004 and just now we had Amsa being the first solo Yoshi to win. 20 years. I do think the game should be played in PAL. Even if just a little, the other players and characters may have a better chance to succeed in an environment with a bit less dominant top tiers.

@@jonathanc3001 That's an extremely short-sighted view: popularity and viability are two completely separate categories. We have had Luigi and Samus, for example, place top 8 at majors. With how tight the top competition is, who is to say those characters would not have won in those situations with significant nerfs to the top tiers? Tier lists and popularity do not matter if real viability is much closer than it was before. PAL version should be tried when the meta seems stale. Right now it's a little better because of people like Axe and Amsa, but the rest of the top 100 might at least attract some sort of difference with a mixup. Beyond that, we're still seeing meta changes and those meta changes might be more pronounced with better game balance. The argument from a tier list perspective and tournament perspective from a smaller pool of a few years in Europe is just simply a bad argument.

I haven't watched Melee for years now and this almost got me

You got me on the "leffen's death" ngl

he rested all over the funeral

Brothers, we must stay focused

Thanks, I needed that.

this made me laugh so hard when I saw this in the video

Thank you, I did it for you

Why have you felt bittersweet about it? I'm not a part of it, so I'm genuinely curious.

​@@bevvvy1374 +

​@@bevvvy1374the Melee community has had a rough 6 months or so, what with the definitive cancellation of some of the best tournament series, organizations going under, and Nintendo being relentless in their quest to kill Melee for good. But we've seen worse and we'll recover, this is our game we're taking about

the melee community has had a *lot* of sex scandals relative to its size, to the point that it’s a running gag. it’s also just known for being extremely insular and toxic toward other games. that’s the bitter side, at least

@@ashegrey2321 I feel like thats more of the ult/smash4 community. Maybe I'm misinformed though.

that's not what mirror match means what do you think the "mirror" refers to

​@@misirtere9836Team Battle, Bowser and Kirby vs Bowser and Kirby. All criteria met.

@@misirtere9836 Listen, we can’t all be well spoken, coherent individuals.

Why is he attractive

his videos made me want to try melee and now i've been going on slippi like, every day lol

@@musicfromtheinternet I do wanna try too ngl

​@@Siinory i'd recommend it, its super fun!! at first i thought i wouldn't do well because i don't really know most of the advanced tech and stuff but i've gotten by just fine without being too good at stuff like wavedashing or l-cancelling (although the latter doesn't matter too much as i play G&W) if you want to play on slippi and your computer isn't too great, there's a mod i saw called "diet melee" which lowers the graphics and makes it easier for computers to run. there's also a version that gives the whole game smash 64's art style which is so cool to me that i might try that one even though i don't need the extra performance

@@musicfromtheinternet I'm still afraid of playing Melee.

Me too ! I’ve only played melee once with one of my friends yet this guys videos makes it so interesting 😭

Ok, why on earth do I see you in almost every single video I watch?

Egg time

20🥚🥚

The year is 20YY. Everyone plays Yoshi at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The Rock Paper Scissors metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches. Humanity has reached its pinnacle. The low tier peasants are living in poverty. It seems nothing can stop the great leader of 20YY, Masaya "aMSa" Chikamoto, and his army, the Yoshi monks who live in great monasteries where they levitate while TASing Yoshi with one hand, and winning tournaments with the other. The tournament metagame has gotten to this point where everything is played out to theoretical perfection, so tournament goers play Rock Paper Scissors for port priority, and that’s the game.

_"The hurtboxes aren't that bad, dude."_ Longbardi mains

I don’t think there would be too much to talk about in the video, but I’m all for it.

3rd Strike is similar. Less changes overall but characters like Akuma, Urien, and Oro were nerfed and that version of the game isn’t tournament standard.

Well, I mean, it's more entertaining to watch two players use very good characters like fox than their nerfed version imo (I don't main fox, but Luigi before anyone asks)

Or you know because the vast majority of the scene has been playing that version for like 20 years…

The base size of their models that were programmed into the game?

@@antigoni1250 bump, no answer.

Smashers don't thirstpost over fictional characters (impossible difficulty)

@daniel foster if it's not over fictional characters, it's minors. i say we let them keep their fictional characters for the greater good.

@@BigHailFan excellent point, that’s a W over the alternative

nigga why is you talking like that
