Legal Jank has to be one of my favorite terms ever

In regards to Hitbox jackets being stuck to Ness: The hitbox doesn’t actually disappear when Ness touches an opponent. There’s a mechanic in the game where a player who has been touched by a hitbox cannot be hurt by that same active hitbox again. This is obviously done to prevent players from getting wrecked by the hitbox every frame it’s out. There’s jank to this too, though. Hitboxes can only “remember” the last 12 objects they’ve interacted with, and will unload old objects with new objects in a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) order. This can be demonstrated by putting a jacket on Ness on the Super Mario stage and touching 12 blocks after hitting your opponent. After hitting the 12th block you’ll be able to hurt your opponent with the same active hitbox again. This is actually why it takes so many turnips from Peach to start the black hole glitch. You need enough turnips to be occupying the same space so that they hit more than 12 other turnips in the exact same frame. Once you achieve that number, everything that comes into contact with the black hole (including the black hole itself) will be locked into hitlag. The More You Know

the armada pictures had me rolling LOLLL

3:25 100% accurate armada thumbnail

0:26 I like how instead of just removing Marth after a few seconds, he falls through a platform out of frame. Well played sir

3:12 talks about Marth, Roy, and Peach... background image: Neuschwanstein Castle. A castle for the royal characters. All these tiny little details that don't draw attention to themselves and are only on-screen for like 4 seconds. Just ace stuff.

"But they fucked up." Is really the motto of Melee's coding.

4:00 I don't follow the Melee competitive scene. So to finally hear that Wobbling is no longer tournament legal after all these years, feels so damn satisfying.

Bring back poke floats. Poke floats to ultimate or something.

4:12 I see chunky Ness. THAT IS CHUNKY NESS.

Minor correction on the thunder jacket, the hitbox actually stays until Ness dies, meaning it stays if you hit an opponent. It’s just not usually relevant because there’s a property in the game where a single hitbox can’t hit an opponent multiple times, but if you play with more than 2 people Ness will be able to hit each player in the battle with the thunder jacket once before he dies.

I want to imagine that Ness' unintentional jacket moves are just him casting a PSI Counter in a roundabout way

I always thought Roy's Up-B kill was due to the tipper or hilt mechanic. This has been super informative while also being fun to watch.

When you rob a bank and say, “Melee is legal, so this should be too.”

the fact that you don't have more subs is fuckin beyond me. your content is hilarious, original, well thought out, well edited, and easy to take in. keep up the great work man, every upload is something to look forward to for me.

These Smash videos are definitely a part of my life now

*Wobbling* Me: oh noooo- "Wait, this isn't legal anymore" Oh thank god

HOW DO YOU UPLOAD SO CONSISTENTLY AND WHY ARE THEY ALL SO GOOD WHAT THE HELL

5:06 biggest missed opportunity not nicknaming it "PK Shield β"

I love how with the hurtboxes Ness looks chubby

fun fact: you can actually SDI the blazer in so that you get hit by the followup hits and survive, since the followups dont kill you. If the roy player knows this, he can simply walk up and NOT turnaround blazer, since your sdi in will kill you by making you avoid the followups. So if you know how to deal with it, its a 50/50.

2:11 “Well you have to play as Roy for one.” Zain: Say no more.

Children's party game? CHILDREN'S PARTY GAME

4:12 that ness is CHUNKY

imagine what game we would have had if HAL had more time.

I dont get it why am I watching all videos from this guy I ve never played or watched melee

Even as kids me and my brother discovered how busted the knockback on Roy's up-b is. He loved Roy and sometimes when we were on a stage with a low ceiling and he was losing he would just camp the highest point on the map and try to gank people with it.

But can the community re-legalize Mute City? Maybe one day.

5:57 lol that Doom zombieman death

Finally at 100k Ngl you deserved it. You are probably one of the best smash bros melee youtubers on the platform. I just want to say congrats and keep it up. what sakurai thinks of glitches Sakurai: *that's not how your supposed to play the game*

Snowy: "One of the best puffs" Hbox:*ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT*

Other characters: NO!! YOU CAN’T JUST GLITCH YOUR HITBOX ONTO YOURSELF!! Ness: *haha down air glitch go spike*

That falco transition at 2:57 was clean af

Does anyone else think that he sounds like mordecai from the regular show

20RR An alternate timeline where all melee players have mastered Roy’s instakill up-B and now melee has become a ground based footsies game.

Roy's up-b jank in Melee works similarly to Samus's up-b jank in Smash 4, known as the Shine Spark. The first hitbox is designed to 'shoot' your opponent into the following connecting hits which have less knockback, but by using the move in a certain way, you'd only hit them with the first hit which would indefinitely shoot them upward until they died off the top. Fox's forward air also sort of worked this way, another multi-hit move designed for the first hit to combo you into the rest of the hits, but this time by stunning you for the duration of the full attack. Off stage you could just hit a recovering opponent with the first hit of his fair, then DI away so the rest of the hits would miss. Your stunned opponent would helplessly fall to their death (and even if you didn't die the Fox could just footstool you for free afterwards which was definitely a kill,) because the game thinks the rest of Fox's fair will hit them and then they'll be knocked out of it by the last hit. Nope. There are many more examples of this BS in Smash 4, and to a more mild extent in Ultimate...it's interesting to see how trends carry across games. A lot of you probably are familiar with this type of jank if you've played Smash over the years, but a fun fact for those who didn't know :)

2:43-2:48 When you get into the next grade thinking you got the semester in the bag only to be proven wrong from the first sentence of your teacher

the ye old doom sound effects make the vids here so much much more hilarious.

Who else here has never played a single Smash Bros game (or at least Melee) in their life, yet still finds these videos endlessly entertaining?

You have the cleanest transitions I've seen. Good job dude!

I don't even follow competitive melee, and I have yet to see a tournament, but these videos are still awesome

Me waiting for the in-depth explanation of how the multi set knock back hit boxes cause characters to die instantly... “But they fucked up”

You just keep getting better and better at this. Keep it up Asum, love your vids.

These videos are so good. Well-written, well-edited. Definitely one of my favorite Smash channels

Thanks, now I’m going to use Roy to counterpick Puff

You reminding me that wobbling is banned made my day.

you make the greatest and the highest quality smash content by far my dawgydog . keep up the great work

Still waiting on that Super Yo-yo Glitch to be found. Actually, it might be better if it isn't.

yo these videos keep getting better and better

Throwing shade at armada thumbnails is my favourite thing to come from smash YT.

the transitions are so well-done!

Great video AsumSaus!

The Armada pictures are killing me omg

I found your channel about a week ago and haven’t been able to stop watching. I only play Ultimate and haven’t touched Melee since it was the latest Smash game, but these glitches are something else.

I've never been as scared seeing Roy in that thumbnail since he actually got strength in a levelup... at level 20

Wait, so Ness can give himself thunder armour like frickin' swellow? Melee is just wild.

I like these commentated videos, glad you're doing more of them :^)

The thunder jacket stays ON during the Ness-Fox matchup

The thumbnail has the best glitch The names having more than 4 characters

That roy tech got HBox sweating nervously Zain's roy is coming for you

Quite interesting! Thanks for uploading!

yooo! I met chrono (roy player vs snowy) at a tournament in san an and hes a dope dude, he mains roy too so its not even like hes playing roy just for the jank.

Great video. Informative and well-paced. 👍

I dont know how u keep coming up with great melee video ideas but keep them coming

My favorite melee glitch is the stock sprite swap or "stock glitch". Does nothing useful but get in your opponents head

What a fucking good video, entertaining insightful and very well edited. Keep it up my man, you doing gods work

S-tier content as always. The production quality and silly little details like sound effects and characters facing screen and what not always impress me. BTW, I think you left out the first piece of music that you played before the opening bit (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/np9xo9KWtduleJs.html). Thank you for actually listing your music though. It really bugs me when some creators use some great music I haven't heard before but don't let you know what it is.

Ness’ jank should be the basis for a fighting game character.

Congratulations!!! I learned something new! Yay! Didn't know that before, but i do now. I'm so glad you were here to teach us this very very useful info. I don't know what i could've done without this knowledge! Thanx.... Real shit, i loved it! I love this game!

Of course it's legal, Ness is a psychic. Invisible force is his specialty.

Now I wanna draw Ness in a jacket

I like the transition at 2:56

As a Roy main I thought I was so smart by b reversing his up b I was honestly shocked about how strong that hit was

best melee channel on yt hands down :^)

They put more thought into Roys Up Special than the entire rest of his kit bro.

Editing just keeps getting better man

"in this childresn party game?" finally a smash bros youtuber who gets it

Great vid! Very informative.

I love your videos man

I've never played Melee, but I've always wanted to! I like these videos, because they're very informative!

Hell yeah an AsumSaus video

Couldn't stop laughing when you used the spike jacket lmao. That scream at the end 😂

I don’t even play melee and I absolutely adore your channel

I love this channel so much

4:15 Ness looks big with the yellow circle around him

the sims music fits perfectly! great job

Loved the Doom sound effects

You're the only channel I willingly watch the same videos multiple times.

Great video man

They tested and fixed Roy's up b but not his dash attack. lol

3:23 lmfao i can’t

Yaaay another video!

Too bad this glitches are mostly for low tier characters and you will likely never see some of this jank in an actual tournament or a serious match

Thank you for actually explaining why Roy's up b does what it does

Roy's up b, due to the property of scaling ratios, is the best cheese in 1P mode. It just nukes everyone.

Ness looks like an absolute UNIT with visible hitboxes

This is art.

Thankful for your channel

"The jank HAS JANK!" OH MY, THATS WAY TO COMPLICATED FOR A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT!! HOW DID YOU FIGURE OUT THIS?!

its been years and somehow doom pain sounds in smash are still funny. crazy shit man
