LEGALIZE IT: my-store-d417cb.creator-sprin...
Since 2001, Super Smash Brothers Melee has harbored a beast in the depths of its code. A creature that, were he to be legal, could change the game's competitive metagame forever. For a time during the COVID-19 quarantine, he nearly did.
When in 2020, Giga Bowser was accidently unleashed onto Melee's netplay servers, a handful of players would push the character to previously unseen heights. This is their story. This is Giga Bowser's story.
This video amounted to about two months of on-and-off work from research to interviews to writing and editing. I hope that you come away with a better understanding and appreciation of Melee's greatest monster and the nuances of The Big Turtle Guy.
Should Giga Bowser be legal in SSBM? Sound off in the comments!
If you know more about the competitive history of Giga Bowser that you feel is not adequately covered in this video, feel free to DM me on twitter @wusstunes or email me at matt.callosum@gmail.com. I tried my best to be thorough, but I imagine there is some pre-2020 G. Bowser history that I missed out on.

@@zachaboss Melee has support for matches where one character has % and the other has HP, that's how Master Hand fights work to begin with. It's just a matter of being able to enable it in multiplayer. Alternatively, mod the game so that Master Hand kills himself if his % is above 300. The problem is that Master Hand is genuine garbage and wouldn't be exciting to play as or watch since he cannot freely move and his attacks are horrily telegraphed and very punishable. Even Kirby would have a 9:1 matchup with him, if not 10:0.

I'll never forget one of the funniest things that was on Mew2King's stream once, which apparently some of these clips are from. Before it was patched out, some players where exploiting Slippi to use Giga Bowser, and M2K happened to random into one. His random character first game was getting trolled and lost, so before he starts the next game, he pauses for a moment, and then just says "I know how to beat this" and goes right to puff. Next thing you know Giga Bowser is getting wrecked by Pound -> Rest. The Giga Bowser player at one point was on last stock and wasn't trolling anymore. They actually looked scared to approach. As broken as it is in many ways, Giga Bowser exacerbates Bowser's main issue: he's too damn big and gets beat up for it. Being big in Melee sucks. Great video! This is why I love Melee. All the stories makes this game so fun to be apart of. EDIT: Pound not nair!

@ux66 Год назад

@@OmegaGlops Nah, I’m pretty sure it’s just garbage data being read for a character that happens to have the same flag for 2 fighters spawning at once that the Ice Climbers have (however they don’t also have the built-in delay between characters for inputs like Icies do). As for why it picks Mario, my guess is that it just defaults to him as a safeguard of some sort to not crash the game but I honestly don’t really know, lol And I believe so! I’m sure there’s AR codes floating around online that do a similar thing for other characters that would work in offline. Mario Climbers was just unique because it was loading something that was already present in the game but usually not accessible, so when you select it on unranked/direct connect, it would load in the other person’s game even if they didn’t have the codes; the code just allows you to access it, it doesn’t add anything to your game. But I think the other codes that do a similar thing add an additional fighter to whoever you picked, which obviously isn’t already a thing in the game and thus wouldn’t work on Slippi

When you consider the amount of time that one might have put into playing Giga Bowser versus any other character in order to place in tournaments, it's fair to assume he's on a different tier than the other characters people have sunk thousands into. It's also important to consider a huge factor for their legality is how their design blatantly goes against many of the skills valued in competitive play.

It’s cause once you get to the top of a competitive scene of anything, you tend to react super negatively to anything that could potentially change said competitive scene. Melee players in particular are especially bad with this because they’re choosing to stick to an extremely out of date version of a game simply because the competitive scene of said game evolved to revolve around exploiting a glitch to gain an advantage and said glitch has been rightly patched from all subsequent versions.

I wonder if a "no counterpick Giga" rule could be implemented, where you cannot pick Giga Bowser as a counter pick. Either if you lost you can elect to pick first and allow the winner to counter pick you, or you can can't pick him after losing a game. I think the latter might be better, as it prevents people from winning a set with a surprise Giga Bowser, but still allows people to open sets with him.

@sunderkeenin 9 месяцев назад

Bit late, but it'd be as simple as always allowing a counterpick if giga bowser is selected, likely worded as something like, "In the case that a player selects Giga Bowser, the other player will be allowed to select character again."

@PartOfTheGame Год назад

It's been proven, even in this video, that Giga isn't broken 100% of the time. He can get outplayed and out-combo'd. I agree with Genex, the counter-pick would be awesome. Having to choose for the blind if you counter-pick assuming the Giga round 1, or go normal pick. It would be amazing. And yeah, again as Genex said, imagine a finals "Best of 5" where it's 2-2 and someone counter-picks Giga. Even if they don't win, it would be AMAZING to see.

@sebastiangudino9377 7 месяцев назад

@UndertakerU2ber Год назад

Tatsunoko vs Capcom tournaments sometimes legalize their giant "Giga Bowser-like" characters with highly specific rules in place. Just look at sports like baseball, which have a ton of niche rules that seem odd but are intended to address exploits and abuses that would ruin the integrity of the game. I'm sure Giga Bowser could be considered tournament legal if the anti-Giga Bowser crowd had their biggest complaints addressed with stipulations that prevented exploits, such as the one where one could pick GB on game 3 as a hard counter pick of the opponent's character for an easy win. Maybe have it so that a player can only choose to play as Giga on game one, they can stick with Giga on subsequent games so long as they picked Giga on game one, and they can also forfeit their chance to play Giga in subsequent games of the set by picking another character at the end of a match (but they won't have another chance to swap back to Giga again for the duration of the set against their current opponent).

@TheBoss4711 11 месяцев назад

Realistically, not being able to be grabbed is the only thing that makes the character broken, but it's just so polarizing of a trait that even if it was on normal Bowser then it would be ban worthy.

Giga Bowser is nearly twice the size of Bowser! Thanks for watching! Since a lot of people have asked about different tracks, the list of songs is at 30:25. They're listed in sequential order.

@Spunney Год назад

I think it would be cool to timestamp them in the description so someone doesn't have to manually search through the video in-order just to find which track is which! Also I absolutely cannot find "vs. player 2, king of the monsters 2" anywhere

Giga Bowser is definitely one of the craziest characters in Smash Bros with his strong attacks and terrifying up special. I would love his design to be in a Mario game as a final boss.

@OmegaGlops Год назад

Considering how stagnant Melee's meta is, and how _close_ a lot of the matches ended up being (to the point that Giga Bowser dropped sets and lost a tournament), I don't see why he shouldn't be legal. 🤷

@ObamaTheHedgehog Год назад

Giga bowser hasn't been maximized at all, you're comparing maximized characters to somebody still in its infancy and he's still dominant.

@nahlies2382 Год назад

@@ObamaTheHedgehog I mean, if he's true hit stunned into rest from a pound, I absolutely believe man should be legal at LEAST as a consequence of legalizing wobbling

@johnchumas7099 9 месяцев назад

Make Giga Bowser legal but only for one game per person. Imagine someone saving their Giga token for the last game at Grands

I would love to see giga koopa as he would definitely shake up the meta game. I am tired of see McCloud / Lumbardi or Marth / sheik in grands or top eight. When I see a green Mario Yoshi, puff or Pikachu I get excited. If I see Mario or Ganon I'm officially excited.

@UnuUO Год назад

puff isn’t bad she’s a top tier she’s just a bit less common bc people literally don’t enjoy playing her bc the optimal way to play her is very boring

@CAMSLAYER13 Год назад

@@UnuUO I was mostly referring to Hbox as he is the only the puff user who makes her great. I do agree that she is uncommon and is hardly played.
