Melee is WEIRD 

What other Super Smash Bros. sets do you think were as weird as this one? 🤔

Growing up in the midwest melee scene was great, everyone was so supportive and friendly. I can't recall a bad experience besides this one dude who would look down at people's controllers to tech chase them, which I just found weird.

only real fans remember how this spun off into coney reminiscing on his past in smash for about 3 hours

I just come here to hear Coney call RU-vid videos "movies".

When you land a sick combo and take the stock at your local tournament match and your opponent says "nice combo, man", you know you're in the Midwest.

This mooovie had a pretty different vibe, quite chill and educational about Smash lore, but the variety is very welcome. Good mooovie.

Big boost in algorithm for big underrated streamer/youtuber Drake

got to see Count Subula for the first time last night and was reminded of how little coney lore the youtube only ppl really get

Coney is no longer a react Andy. Coney brings so much to the table in terms of original content when watching smash related videos because of how long he's been doing things. Every time a video like this goes up on the channel, it's like walking over to the campfire to hear Coney tell stories. Thank you for making such amazing content, Coney! 💜

I'm "I completely understood the metalknight/snake combo reference" old

The Plup vs Abu video is amazing, I rewatch it decently regularly

The Midwest is obscenely kind. Like you're walking down the street and some person who is having a cookout will be like hey do you want some food I got some extra food. I was at a cafe with a friend discussing how I need to buy a little jungle gym for my kid and a complete stranger leans over and says oh I have one that I'm looking to get rid of. They gave me their house address and Later that day I had a little jungle gym for my kid.

Imagine your 2 losses in a tournament being the ONLY 2 good puff players

Every time I see one of your videos, I feel like I’m learning some morals

ik you love what you’re doing (& i also do) with your current content and finally separating from smash. but bc you’re so knowledgeable/nostalgic on the subject your smash videos still have a certain special feel to them and i hope to see more of it.

It's really funny how much headspace Hbox had rent free in the Melee community

On the handshake thing I went to my first melee, regional I guess, it was my first tournament. This was july of 2021. One of the top seeds was playing me in pools and before our game I sat down and tried to fist bump him. The guy said "hold on" and left me hanging. He 100% saw me. So I stood my ground for like a solid 30 seconds. Eventually I gave up. Then when he was finally ready like 5 minutes later. Ole mini wizzrobe over here tries to fist bump me. I looked at him and said "nah covid... im ready." The confusion on his face was worth it. I swapped from my main to ganon with the goal of up tiliting this try hard fox. And I did. 3 times. The last one was an accident. I said out loud "holy shit that one was an accident." I still lost 2-0 but not gonna lie It felt good BMing this guy who went on to get like 6th or something out of 60 players. But I did learn a valuable lesson there are multiple ways to BM a person and it only feels good if you do it in retaliation.

Ive been goin through a lot in life but you have a certain kind of charm that makes me happier about life, thanks for the content man

Yes! I love that movie, I’ve watched it twice already! But now I can watch it again with Coney :)

Watch "hanky panky the best player nobody knows"

I’m stuck in the past and can’t forget my childhood. That’s why I have no memories of Melee and can only think Brawl (:

When Hbox saw Prince Abu at a tourney he wasn't in, he probably felt like he already won half the mental game

I love the content but the background music can be a bit of a bummer for me when it clashes with the music in the videos. I’m autistic and it causes some real genuine discomfort to have multiple conflicting songs going on at once, and if I wasn’t such a big coney fan, it might have made me turn off the video.

I find the message at the end of that video amusing because it's just Melee Stats verbalizing his own identity crisis, subconsciously realizing that he needs more to life than *_melee_*

I think in ultimate if u grab at the same time u just trade and both get 3%

Aye! I'll have you know that I never had a gamecube growing up & picked up melee in my early 20's because it's goated... I mean, I do pine for my childhood and I can't let go of the past but that has nothing to do with melee :p

I love how coney is trying not to laugh at 12:45

sometimes when im not there for a stream i try to figure out how many takes it took coney to get the intro down right

Autopilot is good when you have the fundamentals of neutral down. It just so happens that in a game like smash, that's how most people approach optimal strategy 80% of my matches, I win because people rote themselves into punishable situations. Because they have no attention for subtlety, it makes their playstyle easy to exploit So in the end you think that you've got dominant strategy down, but really it's all habit. I think that's the difference in playing the game and simply trying your hand. The former is a scenario where you are aware of the BS, but you're also self aware enough to break from patterns that would trip you up if you let it

19:00 if he wants to see stuff like this for smash 4 he should react to some grtr4sh videos

The Midwest fistbump is a standard for gaming, if u watch a rainbow 6 seige game the players fistbump after every round and unlike smash the least number of rounds in that is 7 rounds of 5 or 6 mins

I'm so glad me and my friends did not know how to play melee so we could actually have fun with it

You should watch some more Core A Gaming vids, crazy good production on those

melee stats poggies

Omni is probably the most chill news channel out there

Melee puff and steve have a surprising amount of similarities in terms of their place in each games respective meta

FELLAS

When coney says fellas my eyes immediately go to chat

This is a case where a player dominates the first game and just mentally checks out for the rest.

FELLAS ITS TIME

Great video and I loved that you added context

MY STREAMER SUCCUMBED TO THE SMASH ALGORITHM

tbh I didn't realize how funny Coney is

16:27 - 16:36 midwest actin nice, bro great stock lol (interesting)

fellas?

Believe it or not I have never played melee before

And brawl is the unwanted child

Imagine your path taking a path. Bro that shit made we woke 👀

I feel like this is because I said melee in the pole

All I hear when I hear melee players complain about jiggs is pure copium. Brawl has to deal with meta knight, smash 4 has to deal with bayonetta, ultimate has to deal with like 20 characters that can kill you at 50 off of a single interaction. Shut up.

I don't like melee, never played it and propably won't for a while, but what I do love is hearing about the community

People that get offended by "Omni gay" need to go take a hike...

Bonk did that kill Snake by blowing up with the up throw in SSBU

smash so salt that they banned couch after set.

Hey Coney, I love your content but your voice is wayyy louder than the video you are commentating and it's hard to hear the video without your voice being super loud. Hopefully maybe the sound mixing could get improved :)

Melee is sick

Does this mean we are closer to the LAWNMOWER video?

"You're not gonna like it, it used to be known as the... omni gay" ...ok? Carry on EDIT: god, love the c4 shenanigans lol. Wish omni would occasionally stream the games so he can do them

I hear Danse Macabre and I like

Lets go Fellas

not the worst thing that has happened at mandalay bay

TRUEING

Is Coney just the JSchlatt of Smash

Man i hate that we cant talk about most of Smash 4 cause of major player's shitty choices

Man i wanna play plup but i dont play smash competitively

Melee>Ultimate and its not that close...

Trueage

That jiggly😩

this video was absolutely fantastic

Commenting for the RU-vid algorithim

Good movie Coney

Coney did u just get that hat from Omega Mart?

EDISHAPPYONCEMORE

Why is Omni disliked in the smash community? Coney made some sort of deal about his name but why is that?

Hax talking about the fate of smash hits different now

good movie OOOO

coney > ludwig

Thas a good movie

Coney, please react to michael vs bananas. That video is good

hbox is better about practice now

Honestly smash is important to me but the melee community trying to keep itself in evo has always bugged me only because no other series tries to keep an old game relevant this long. This was a super informative and entertaining video tho

Nah, actually generation x is weird. Cringers will reign forever, hehehe

Lol omni

I hate melee cuz kirby bad and yes I commented this in 2023

Yeeeaahahah boah

I hate melee youtube documentaries so much.

Melee is better than brawl change my mind. Melee never had to have a another version to make it BETTER than a game before it. Brawl players have no skill in order to play the game. There is no hitstun so that means no combos. Which means no skill. All you had to do in brawl is pick op custom moves or spam villager sapling trip. Brawl was an inferior game to melee. Change my mind.

Oooh I hate melee it makes me sooo mad 😡

melee sucks
