Crazy how many levels there are to the game. I remember a few years ago watching a set scar was commentating and he kept pointing out extremely minute falcon stuff that I didn't even register as happening. Of course he's not even a top player anymore and yet he still sees the game at a totally different level from most of us
dude it was insane. I'm just a spectator these days, but like, you watch enough and you get a vibe for like "ok they probably have enough time to do this/not do that." I was fucking floored at how fast that shit was, no part of me saw it as a possible outcome
I don't think he knew the frame window. Rather, why _wouldn't_ you pivot butt grab in the situation? There's no optimal reason to ever grab on the other side.
Best tech-chaser (imo) whilst his Falcon can arguable be more "flowchartey" and "boring" than that of S2J, I love watching both of them. They are both crazy.
There was a RU-vid short recently about Dragon Ball Super manga going on hiatus and it started by explaining that DBZ ended on the Buu arc and DBS was a continuation of the DB series. What a joke, if I clicked on the video I already know the content, don’t waste my time to appease the RU-vid algo. Also Spawn Wave. He had some video on a news development for Pokémon and he took THREE MINUTES TO EXPLAIN WHAT POKÉMON IS.
That final play was (literally) perfect by Wizzrobe but let’s not forget that in Set 1 on Game 4, he was down 2 games to 1 AND down 3 stocks to 1. Wizzrobe took victory from the jaws of defeat both times. Shout out to him and Juan for giving us an AMAZING Grand Finals!
This reminds me of that time when Wizzy beat Mango for the first time ever. He was down 2-1 and losing 3 stocks to 1 on top of that. Then he made possible the impossible. Beat Mango and Zain and won the event. Wizzy's composture is insane.
Believe hes referring to SCL (week 2?) where he beat mango/zain btb. Think it's still wizzys only in tournament win on mango so it's gotta be @rat4992
hey emm you've kinda been a constant for me ever since I first started watching youtube I see you in the comments wherever I go. I just found out you're trans like me. I have nothing to say really I just wanted to let you know that I exist
fr. they did this 2 minutes worth of analysis in 0.5 seconds, possibly not getting to the part where he could technically win right there, and then it just happens in front of them. They're nuts. And wiz is ... nuts-er.
the precision, the timing, the fact that it was to win the whole tournament after a 30 minute grueling grands where Wizzy was one tech chase rest away from losing. it's all so beautifully 20GX
One of my favorite things is somebody doing something that seems kinda neat and impressive to a layman, but experts start reacting like they saw Jesus. The level of knowledge it takes to truly understand how perfect that play was in a heartbeat... love it.
Even the knee is crazy to look at frame by frame. As far as i can tell it also looks like he got knee out on frame 1, and puff is trying to jump out as the knee connects. Anyone know how much wiggle room there is here? Can puff jump out if he's a couple frames later on the knee?
idk if she would've gotten away, but you're right, she's hit on the third frame of her double jump, so maybe? But it does look like the knee is aimed a little high to catch that. Also the teeter cancel looks accidental with the shield coming out, but honestly I wouldn't doubt the rod god doing that on purpose to stop hbox from getting a reversal had the knee whiffed. There may be better players, but nobody is as cracked at this video game than wizzy
Ah, the classic Captain Falcon grab maneuver. It's truly heartwarming to see such an intricate appreciation for the nuances of a game that, at its core, appeals to a wide demographic of enthusiasts, spanning from the casual weekend player to the dedicated professional. Your fondness for Captain Falcon's ability to grab opponents from behind is truly a testament to the layered complexity that makes Smash such a beloved staple in the fighting game community. One can only marvel at how a single move, like Captain Falcon's grab, can evoke such an emotional response. It's almost poetic, really. You see, this move transcends the mere mechanics of a game; it encapsulates the sheer artistry and tactical genius that the developers have woven into the fabric of this digital masterpiece. It's almost as if every grab, every pixelated punch, is a reflection of the human condition - the struggle, the triumph, the unyielding spirit of competition. Let's delve deeper into the sociopolitical implications of Captain Falcon's grab. In a world fraught with discord and division, this simple act of grabbing an opponent from behind speaks volumes about the nature of human interaction. It symbolizes the unexpected twists and turns of life, the unseen forces that shape our destiny. Captain Falcon, in his pixelated glory, becomes a metaphor for the unseen challenges we face, the unseen hands that guide us, sometimes gently, sometimes with the force of a high-speed Falcon Punch. Isn't it fascinating how a mere video game can serve as a microcosm of society? The intricacies of Captain Falcon's grab reflect the nuances of human relationships. Just as Captain Falcon reaches out and seizes his opponent, we too reach out in our daily lives, seeking connection, understanding, and sometimes, dominance. It's a dance as old as time itself, played out on a digital stage for all to see. Your appreciation for this move also underscores a deeper, more philosophical question: What is it about the act of grabbing that resonates so deeply within us? Perhaps it's the primal instinct, the ancient, hardwired need to assert control, to dominate. Or maybe it's a subtler, more refined appreciation for the art of surprise, the element of unpredictability that keeps us on our toes, both in the game and in life. Furthermore, let's not overlook the ideological underpinnings of your statement. In today's world, where the lines between reality and virtual reality blur more and more each day, expressing admiration for a character's ability to grab someone from behind can be seen as a bold, almost revolutionary statement. It's as if you're challenging the very fabric of our understanding of personal space and consent, pushing the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in both the digital and physical realms. But let’s take a step back and consider the broader implications of this gameplay mechanic. Captain Falcon’s grab is more than just a move; it’s a statement. It challenges the status quo, defies conventional wisdom, and invites us to question our assumptions about fairness, strategy, and the nature of competition. It's a move that, in its simplicity, embodies the complexity of the human spirit - the relentless drive to succeed, to overcome, to triumph against all odds. One might even argue that Captain Falcon’s grab is a form of social commentary. In a game that is, ostensibly, about fighting and competition, this move introduces a layer of strategy that goes beyond mere button-mashing. It requires foresight, precision, and a keen understanding of your opponent's tactics. In this sense, it mirrors the complexities of real-world interactions, where success often depends on our ability to anticipate and outmaneuver those around us. And let’s not forget the aesthetic appeal of Captain Falcon’s grab. There is a certain elegance to the way he moves, a fluidity that speaks to the high level of craftsmanship involved in creating this character. It's a reminder that, even in a medium as seemingly frivolous as video games, there is room for artistry and beauty. Captain Falcon’s grab is not just a move; it’s a dance, a ballet of pixels and polygons that captivates the mind and stirs the soul. In the grand tapestry of gaming history, Captain Falcon's grab stands out as a singular moment of brilliance. It's a move that, in its simplicity, captures the essence of what makes video games so compelling: the thrill of competition, the joy of mastery, and the endless quest for perfection. Your appreciation for this move is a testament to your deep understanding of these underlying principles. So, while some might dismiss Captain Falcon’s grab as just another move in a game filled with countless others, you and I know better. We understand that it is a symbol, a microcosm of the human experience, a reflection of our deepest desires and fears. It’s a move that transcends the boundaries of the game and speaks to something greater, something profound and timeless. In conclusion, your favorite move is more than just a moment of gameplay. It’s a philosophical statement, a work of art, and a testament to the enduring appeal of one of the greatest games ever made. It’s a reminder that, in the world of Smash, as in life, the simplest actions can have the most profound implications. So, here’s to Captain Falcon and his iconic grab - may it continue to inspire and captivate players for generations to come.
this is legitimately one of the best melee videos i have ever watched. the topic is interesting, the editing is on point, you explain in-depth enough that even somebody unfamiliar with melee can understand the important parts while still somehow keeping the video succinct and under 3 minutes. instant sub. the melee community is so lucky to have people like you
When melee came out I knew it was special. I put 1000 hours into playing it solo and with my friends. When I went to college there were tournaments twice a year. I knew it was a special game but I didn't know how deep it actually went. To create a fighting game with this level of depth and nuance is simply incredible.
I will never play at even half this level, but I love seeing these breakdowns and learning just how deep thia game goes. I work with a lot of designers and video producers and would honestly hire you off this channel alone.
If he was off by a few pixels, people would likely think it was just a misinput. It's honestly insane the level of precision and character knowledge it took to make that punish happen.
Thank you for explaining this. The nuances of Smash Bros and its mechanics are not like most of the fighting games I played but I always love learning what makes good melee.
I doubt pros have it calculated down to the exact number of frames he has left before Jiggly wakes up, but he knew how to perfrom the fastest grab in that situation and that it would be close. Very cool
I'm a "Brawler" for life! But I love Rosalina & Luma too.... 🤷♂️ However, I really love the Melee community. You guys really do your game justice! And I'm all for it! 🙌
Your music choices are always so great, Vulf, Cory Wong, Louis Cole, all elite picks, love hearing Cory's guitar anywhere, it stands out from a mile away!
That was hype as fuck, and whilst I was rooting for Hbox (I love C.Falcon though and ALL C.Falcon players as well!) that was just clutch and cool as HECK! I'm just so glad that the commentators also actually instantly realized how fucking INSANE that grab and moment ACTUALLY was.
I’m surprised that the thumbnail isn’t for a 50 minute documentary detail every single frame of the set and deep dive on some obscure German philosophy
