Useless Melee Knowledge 

Fun fact: if you look closely at the thumbnail, the fox shown is a fake fox. The real fox mccloud died in 1966 in an r-wing crash.

Useless Facts About a Super Smash Bros game? this is my jam

"you'll never unsee this" Jokes on you, I'm color blind. I'll never SEE this

1:06 The comedic timing of Whispy looking at the platform, then turning to the camera is very underrated.

oh, useless knowledge that I'll never need? my favorite!

Two vids in a week? You spoil us, Asum.

4:27 this BLJ tech is looking crazy

The lengths of the side platforms for Dreamland is actually significant for peach players - you can do a down throw reaction techchase combined with a standard chaingrab on platforms to rack up huge damage, and when remembering the %s that it stops working each platform is different. The left platform works to about 80%, while the right platform can sometimes squeeze out another down throw. Now the TOP platform being significantly bigger means that by the time this down throw chaingrab stops working, you can up throw > nair and usually kill, resulting in an almost 0 to death from a grab for Falcon (chaingrab % starts at around 10%). The fact that the top platform is bigger makes you able to 0 to death spacies/falcon (although it's much more easier/practical for bad reaction techchasers on falcon). I'm sure there's something similar for other characters with the top platform in particular.

"Where'd he go?" "here." Well played Asum, well played.

Wii Fit Trainer jab1: You're weak Melee Ness jab1: I'm you

"Air dodging while Peach ..." Are you calling my new taunt useless?

I don’t even play melee so everything I learn from this channel is “useless”

*Peach air dodging at the peak of her full hop* Crowd: PogU

Ness's jab foot hitbox is extremely useful because it lets you jab reset if you land behind someone after dair. I recall it almost being removed from PM at some point, presumably because a dev said "why the hell is that there?", and all the Ness mains revolted.

I absutely love the easter eggs you have sprinkled around these videos. On one screen a slot is missing that's named "whered he go?" Then when we cut to the game, Mr Game and Watch is sitting at the side with the name "here." I love it

LMAO I lost it at “WHERE’D HE GO” over GnW

Best melee content on RU-vid

As a spectator of melee I always knew something looked off about dream land and I could never figure out what it was. Now I know!

Its not useless knowledge! cause ill use this when I never play melee cause, oh wait yea, I dont play melee but still watch these, this is all useless knowledge to me but I love watching

after this video, everything becomes useful, so the title is wrong

Thanks for the tip about ganon's second jab! If I'm playing melee with items on against someone, and happen to accidentally jab the wrong way, I'll do a double jab to bring ganon's hitbox slightly forward for a narrow dodge via micro-spacing.

nah, ness is just doing a wii-fit forward air with his jab. I've heard that if you do ness's jab offstage the foot hitbox can spike.

Opponent: Dodges behind Ness's jab Ness's foot: *megalovania noises* Opponent: Nani?

Dreamland platforms are useful for zelda actually, she can stand on the edge of both side plats and platform/ledge-cancel her up b if she goes directly to the side, but they cancel at different spots because of the distance in height. She can actually do some really dumb stuff if timed correctly

5:12 Ness’ jab has a foot hit box

Great editing, as always. Long forgotten are the days of gameplay compilations. This is great content in every way, from the subject, to the script and the flawless presentation. The best Melee content on RU-vid, for sure.

Now a Ness is going to gimp a spacey with a reverse jab. clip that.

Roy's player select always bothered me, and I couldn't figure out why until this video. It also appears to be bigger than any other character. And that also explains why I would get hit by ness when standing behind him. I always assumed it was just jank hitbox getting caught on his front jab.

I await this man's vids like I await for no other's. This man's attention to detail and pacing in is impeccable. Always excited for the next one 👍🏼👍🏼

I don't know why but Ness's foot hitbox on his jab had me cracking up so much.

AsumSaus: explains why a fact he claimed was useless last episode is important in Adventure mode speedruns and apologises for the mistake. Also AsumSaus: calls a character hit box that may actually appear in tournament (in the hands of a good Ness player) useless.

That thumbnail. They heading to the Octopus Garden.

That Ness jab knowledge is definitely useful lol. I like messing around with ness sometimes

Asumsaus: pretty groovy. the entire society: pretty groovy.

gosh more people need to learn this style of branding and aesthetic!! your thumbnails and editing are def some of the best in the smash community and I think more creators could learn a lot from you!!! you do things gpodni like that sjjdkfkg

I love the thumbnail. I do love my Beatles References.

You could have told another quirk in the character select screen The clone characters are actually farther back from the camera compared to everyone else

"you'll never unsee this" Jokes on you, the sun is reflecting off of my screen, I can't see it at all.

1:44 Look at the Mr. G&W box and then when he appears again, the text above him says ‘here.’ Nice attention to detail AsumSaus!

"Ness has a foot hitbox" definitely not useless in .0001% of situations.

The fact about DL platforms being different lengths is pretty useful, as Fox can NIL on the right one from ledge, but not on the left one.

1:43 I love how mr game & watch is missing with his named changed to Where'd he go? Then, in the next scene, he appears with the name 'here.' A beautiful detail I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't paying attention to slot colors

Best apology video ever.

I dont even play melee, but this is entertaining. Might try it

The platforms on dreamland have an effect on fox jumping on them from ledge. The right one is easier to get than the left

I feel calmer knowing everything at once at the same time I discovered it. Typical of a Main Luigi, I didn't even know what was happening xD

Your videos always brings a smile to my face! happy to see two uploads in one week!

Video: Useless Melee Knockledge 100.000 Persons: "Interesting."

is no one going to mention the fact that he turned himself into a waifu

I was so excited for this and then the first one about Dreamland platforms actually does affect some characters platform-warping with certain aerials.

There is something about your voice, the music and this obscure useless knolwedge that is stress-relieving.

"But it's useful in a TAS of melee adventure mode" is like proving it's useless.

So basically, im into useless knowledge

Man I don't even play Melee or any other figting game but I've just been LOVING your vids!! The way you bring up these unique in-game aspects are just so entertaining.

Jokes on you all Melee Knowledge is useless to me because I don't have hands

Imagine finishing off a set in Melee with Ness' jab hitbox on his foot.

This channel got the best thumbnails

4:01 WAAH. MMHUUUG UUOAAAG!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOOWOWOH

Useless? Oh the community will gladly show you practical uses for Ness's foot hitbox. Just you wait AsumSaus

this is just Pjiggles' "Useless Smash Facts" but for Melee

Okay, so apparently binge watching an inactive channel makes them upload again... LET'S GO RAID LUDVIX

The crowd will also gasp if sheik does a turnaround up-b on stage. Ok, so I tested it to double check, and it works even without the turnaround. If you just up-b straight up....crowd gasp

Your editing is high tier dude. No oddities :)

Playing as Mewtwo in SSBU be like: 5:18

yo just saw the upload litteraly a minute after it was uploaded

has anybody noticed this? at 1:43, Mr. Game & Watch is missing on the character select screen, and his label's repalced with "WHERE'D HE GO?" - and in the next scene, he's got the name "here." as he's hangin' out with Peach in Dream Land. what a cute easter egg!

Thanks m8, you're on fire. Two videos in less than a whole eternity like the others not-so-high quality youtubers

This is actually scary because he's uploading again 🤔

USELESS MELEE KNOWLEDGE? I MUST LEARN THIS IMMEDIATELY

0:57 I didnt wanted to know this 😭

I've watched this video multiple times and I've never noticed that game and watch is gone from the character select screen and then his tag is "here" at 1:44 The subtle editing things are what make your vids the best :)

please keep making videos, it's only been a minute and im dying. love the soundtrack as well!

0:58 oh no my OCD

0:10 no tech

I’ve watched you for awhile now. Mostly started out with a rare video or two awhile ago, and have now come back and started watching most of your videos. Quality content that finds a way of not turning stale and covering a great game, with a great style of narration. I’m telling everyone here this to set up backstory, because until now i’ve always pronounced his channel name “A sum samus” or “asous samus” but when i took a second to actually read it and pronounce it, i realize it’s “Asum saus” or “awesome sauce” *WHAT*

Since watching this video, I can't stop involuntarily staring at Roy's name texture on the character select screen

0:33 I swear I've seen that character before, does anyone know where it's from to help rejog my memory Idk it's probably just from some unity pack, but hey maybe somebody knows

1:49 that stage looks beautiful, I'm still using old 20xx iso, where can I get new version with all the beautiful stage mods

My friend and I were high staring at the CSS and noticed the Roy thing. I'm glad we were actually on to something

this is hands down the best melee channel on youtube. it's not even close

1:43 *Where'd he go*

4:27 10 hours pls

Two back to back videos We are truly blessed

I love finding out new quirks about a game I have been playing for 19 years. Great video.

1:43 Where'd he go? (Look at g&w)

Well, the last one isn’t actually useless. If you play Ness ... Ok never mind it is useless after all 😅

I will be so hyped seeing someone walk up slowly turn around and then punch as ness.

Yo love the alola jazz music in the background, insaneinthrain makes great music. Also love the videos btw please don't stop

The leyend says that if you comment "first" no one cares

Wow I’m early

I literally have not played melee in 5 years but your videos are sooo good and have such a great credence that I know way too much about melee than I actually should

You keep on whispering in my ear, Telling me the things that I wanna hear! That's what I like about you!

That Ness jab foot may become the most disrespecful move of all Melee

I always love your videos, but this one in particular made me laugh so hard! Keep up the good work Asum

Almost everything in this video were glitches or some unintentional wierd shit, but Nes's jab just makes ask "Why?".

dude that thumbnail is actually so good and i will be upset if this video doesn't get millions of views on that fact alone

Bro youre straight fire right now. One banger after another.

Two videos within days of each other!? The gods have answered our prayers for more content!

Thank you for this knowledge, I really needed this video at the moment so thanks.

lol is that thumbnail a beatles parody?
