I was playing with my 8 year old cousin and beat him using Bowser so basically Bowser is a viable character now

Poor falcon tried to spike luigi and the invisible wall glitch occured

Falcon: *stomps Luigi* Physics: _im gonna pretend I didn't see that_

Mario’s down throw chain grab the best chaingrab of the low tiers

Nobody: French commentator: oH LalaLALaLalalalalaLa

*This does put a smile in my face.*

It’s a fun video but what actually makes most characters “unplayable” is their matchup with Marth. A lot of low tiers can do decent against the spacies, largely because the spacies’ fall speed and recovery let’s you punish their mistakes into oblivion (even though spacies will still win if played optimally). But Marth slaughters just about every low tier without a decent disjoint. Approaching is a nightmare. You can’t style on them the way you can style on fox. Fighting on FD night as well be hell. You can always win in theory, but it isn’t fun to play. If you want to show a character is viable (or even just playable) show their Marth matchup.

Heeeeew: "I beg to differ."

1:45 the beefy smash doods are in the front row of the crowd

Even after almost a whole year and a reupload, this is still the most confused comments section in Melee content history. Nobody seems to understand the purpose of the video, or the slight sarcasm held within the title.

If I remember correctly, Kage's run at Canada cup had him facing three Sheiks in a row into top 8, all ranked higher than him... Faceroll (I think) then Android, and the last one being M2K. M2K would go on to win the tournament, so a respectable loss to end his run. I really wish Kage had stayed active more after that tournament, he was on 🔥. I feel like Canada Cup 2017 is so underrated in the history of Smash. Kage went deep, and M2K was prime, hitting those AMSAH techs against Leffen, and pulling off a sick Thundercatz combo on Dreamland. Legendary.

“Melee is balanced” is an oxymoron.

thanks i like this video have a good day asumsaus

(Lower tier characters barely scrape by) "Melee is Balanced"

How were the sword hit sounds in melee made? They're rad.

What's always interesting about low tiers is that their games are close in stocks, and against a number of top tiers a few bad reads or mistakes can cost them the match. Notice how no one among all these low tier users 4-stocks or blows out anyone in this video.

13:06 Dude this is the first guy I've seen smiling while playing vs. Ness

Oh yeah Luigi's viable because he got saved by the invisible ceiling glitch lmao

In that Ness v Samus clip wtf was that stage selection O_O

You know you’re good at mewtwo when you hear “OLOLOLOLO THE MEWTWO”

7:23 What is this? Ultimate Mario? *doesnt kill at 100% with a fair offstage* Nevermind

A rookie is the god of disrespecting fairs and chaingrabs. Mario is still top tier with the old Melee tierlist. Even if the tier list was old, he was still a good balanced character.

“A skilled Roy can beat any Fox” they say. Same goes for Bowser

5:09 it looks like he’s about to complain about Mewtwo in Twitter

5:10 Did this guy just have a stroke or what? I'm usually pretty good at deciphering incoherent gibberish but this guy takes the cake.

That was the Invisible Ceiling Glitch at 10:47. After Luigi Down Smashed at 10:45 on Falcon’s shield, he gets hit by the knee before the animation is done, sending him airborne. This puts him in the state of Invisibke Ceiling, so the next spike sent him slightly upwards instead of down

That might've been the worst Luigi clip to showcase, that wasnt even Luigi, it was just melee being old and broken lol

that one commentator the entire match: alalalalalalalalalaalala

Coming back after 2 amsa major wins. Feelsgoodman

1:47 I love how the players just smile and fistbump while the crowd is freaking the fuck out

I liked it when the guy went alalalalalala and then some more uhhh lalalalalalalala

I love it when tournament player smile and fist bump even when their opponent wins. It warms the heart, man.

_There’s a popoff comin’_ Truer words have never been spoken.

Amsa victory was way too anime especially when axe being the side character hugging his friend after the great battle.

Moe's reactions to every single action in the game are so great

the part where hungrybox 3 stocked a samuswith ness is now my new favorite melee clip

*_"F E A R T H E L O W T I E R S"_*

I think _almost_ every character has potential to be great, it's just down to people playing them/practicing with them and innovating.

For anyone wondering, song at the beginning is Big Noise From Winnetka

bro doc is such an underrated character his shorthop into nair or fair is INSANE

2:20 Tfw you're Twyna maneuvew awound da piws by useen da top pwatfowm deyew

I love that last clip proving that samus isn’t a good character by having her SD 3 times. Clearly a balanced character, as you can see from this skillful defeat.

I love melee, it’s very fun to watch, but I never liked how the camera worked. Edit: P K F R O S T I hate that person so much lmao

There's something greatly satisfying about the abimation of Ganondorf's Dair.

Hungrybox playing Ness has made me develop a new respect for him

1:50 - Beefy Smash Doods Dudes. They are sitting in the front of the crowd roughly slightly to the right of the middle of the screen.

Gotta love that one anouncer just saying la la la la

10:42 that invisible ceiling is beautiful

This isn’t really the current melee tier list. It’s really old, and the meta has changed a whole lot since then. Armada’s Tier List is generally accepted as the true one for 2019. It’d be nice to have a new official tier list, but it doesn’t look like it’s happening anytime soon

Little did he know amsa would go on to whoop literally everyone’s ass as yoshi

lmao i love the slime and ludwig commentating

TFW the invisible ceiling is just Luigi tech

Heeew: *Melee is Broken* Archivesaus: *Hold my beer*

i feel like the real reason for making this video is to spark a riot lmao

To think that we thought Yoshi was ever unviable…

7:09 jumpscared by Slime and Ludwig’s voices

Mewtwo has been my main since Melee

i mean.... they win some but you don't see consistency

This shows how sick luigo is: *invisible ceiling*

I just love "If you DI into it, is it really a chaingrab?"

Just because someone can play a bad character exceptionally well doesn't mean that character is good...

basically bad matchup knowledge: the video

Damn that donkey Kong is just made for just destroy your existence in the right hands

hearing lud do melee commentary was a throwback

This totally makes the case that melee is balanced a hand full of matches against some somewhat notable player

Mewtwo is extra T H I C C

hungrybox offering amsa the hand shows how much of a good sportsman he is.

this video is far more relevant after zain fulfilled the skilled roy prophecy

I play a bunch of Ness on Slippi, and I have to say, Melee Ness really doesn't feel bad once you have a good grip of his jenky mobility. His string/combo game is as solid as you could ask for, his double jump cancels are incredible mobility mix-ups (though honestly, not cancelling the double jump is more of a mix-up), his uair and fair landing lag ain't bad even if you fuck up the L-cancel, he's a slow faller until you don't want him to be then he fast as fuck, neutral B usually gets me at least one safe edgeguard kill a game, his bat was at its longest range in Melee by FAR which makes for a very strong/relatively safe tipper wavesmash option, and don't even get me started on yoyo glitch fuckery 😁 sheik and marth can be rough matchups imo, but I don't mind seeing the rest of the roster!

A skilled roy

This video is a perfect example of skill vs tier picking

That Ganon Shiek clip makes me very happy

Rewatching all these on the new channel! Hope it helps :(

Smash Player: "Worst Fox player in the game" Professor Pro: "No, I am not!" Smash Player: **Hovers over any F- character** Professor Pro: **begins sweating profusely**

"Both of these guys are very emotional players" understatement of the era.

This...does put a smile in my face

And when everyone is ss tier like fox, no one will be ss tier like fox.

Tier list: *exists* Low tiers: we don't need that

commentary at end legendary

Gotta love when the meta game gets shaken like this

Always nice to see the loser seem proud of the guy that beat them with a non-meta character

11:29 Can we just take the time to appreciate how Hugs didn't give up, and was catching up to Hbox, despite losing two stocks really quickly, and most likely not just giving up then and there? Big respect to him.

This video makes me happy

is that rick sanchez at 6:40 lmao

I don't mean to be rude or anything, and while this video is fun to watch simply because of the great matches/plays that appear in it, it doesn't really prove anything. Tier lists exist for a reason, and that reason is to determine which characters are objectively the ones that have more tools to overcome an obstacle (a.k.a. "are better"). Putting a bunch of clips of low tiers winning against top tiers doesn't show low tiers are more viable, it shows that that person with that character played better against the other one, on that particular scenario. Plus, The Big House 5 clip with the Luigi-not-taking-downward-momentum bullshit is specially misplaced. If you wanted to show that Abate is a great player and that he can beat other guys' top tier characters, why did you put in the video the one time he won just because of a glitch? Tl;dr: This video is fun to watch, but it doesn't prove at all the point you're trying to make.

Everybody gangsta till someone whips out a low tier at a major

Heeew: oh, you’re challenging me?

Melee is balanced, gets wobbled by ice climbers, melee is almost balanced

Rough that you had to re-upload this

"A skilled Bowser can beat any Fox."

Now *this* is the competitive Melee I want to see!

is this a re-upload ?

TL;DR Skill > Tier

Now i need to see a kirby beat a fox

anyone know the intro song? I swear i've heard it before somewhere

>Melee >Balanced Pick one.

The fact that a mid tier beating a high tier is montage worthy proves that melee is unbalanced

I thought this was ironic, but no, I was pleasantly surprised. Good vid!

kurby's grabs can still be broken out

Every character is good in the right situation. I do think experimenting with "bad" characters is a fantastic thing, maybe someone will shake up the meta. Unlikely, but worth the effort.
