วีดีโอ

thank you sir, i will use upair more now

Hey what’s the song credit at the start pls?👀

fuck yeah yuzo koshiro

1:34 never realized Falco has a faster initial dash than his actual run speed

Excellent video

ive always been a falcon one trick in ever smash game since 64

yeah i guess, but there's a bunch of moves that completely define the characters and the way you fight them. This move is hardly unique. Don't really like the move, either. Way too braindead of a move.

A tech chasing Sheik can’t be stopped.

this is actually an amazing video that made me figure out how to play falcon oppressively, despite me probably being glued to the ground subconsiously whenevr im a sheik vs a falcon very good video

grabbing ZAIN with the super grab is insane

Please lose weight

I play Link so I punish falcon for being in the air.

Great content

"melee is hard": *Chaingrabs, long hitstun, ledge hogging, zero defensive gameplay*: try being harder than ult firet 😂

Can’t believe I’ve played as Luigi for 10 years now lmao

Fighting game... Bruh

I never realized none was a pioneer of asdi down, thats really cool

Wait till bro finds out about 2024

nice video but at 1:24 you can literally grab ledge and roll to beat that recovery

Quality video. Good stuff

everytime luigi gets a win, a documentary is made to explain how lol

So, should I run with Samus ?

Very cool. I'll sub to any channel that makes melee highlights content.

Have you played Rivals of Aether 2 and if so, what are your thoughts on it?

the title of the video didn't really correspond with the topics in the video. you also used another channels clip to actually explain what Phantom Hits are. This video is a big fat nothing burger

Every great game has some randomness ... do we need phantom hits? ... I think the execution barrier is enough to be fun

fun fact: Adusts stupid ass brother tried to fight my boy at a mexican restaurant and got sat down like a bitch lmao

Phantoms are great in concept, but they weren't implemented right due to the hurtbox priority system you mentioned. I think with the right visual and audio effects, they can give the player that "almost" feeling. It's great for spectators, too. I don't see why people have such a problem with phantoms as a concept. Maybe they just want more of a binary. "I either hit or I didn't, don't tell me I almost did, that makes me feel bad"

It's not the tangent line tho

Fun fact: the real reason for phantom hits occuring in melee is that the game was actually far beyond its years technologically. Melee actually uses a quantum mechanics based hit detection system. Phantom hits always occur on the edges of where hitboxes and hurtboxes occur. This is not by mistake. Hitboxes and hurtboxes are actually in a superposition of both colliding and not colliding here due to the quantum uncertainty principle. So instead of calling them phantom hits, I think we should refer to them as Schrodinger's hits.

One thing worth adding regarding internal phantoms is that they will only occur if the hitbox phantom hits a higher priority hurtbox specifically on the same frame it would have regular hit a lower priority hurtbox. Thus, internal phantoms are incredibly rare on moves that have an actual startup, multiple hitboxes, and multiple active frames. This is why we generally only ever see internal phantoms happen on moves like shine and rest which have a single hurtbox that is active for only a single frame.

One thing I’d like to say on the point of rng in competitive games, I think that rng is only a valuable mechanic in games that aren’t focused around execution. Rng provides the variability in those games that prevents them from getting stale, or solved like say, checkers. In games where players interact with the game in real time and do things that have great precision requirements, the execution of the players is what provides that variability and prevents the game from getting stale or solved. Therefore I would say that rng in games as focused around execution do not serve a purpose, and in fact only inhibit the core conceit of interacting with the game, that being that superior execution and real time decision making is how you beat an opponent, because they add other unrelated factors that could cause those to not be the way in which the winner of a game was determined.

"Tangential" <3

Maybe not the best footage for crits being random in pokemon...

Other than the obviously broken priority system on hurtboxes causing Phantom Hits, you can't really remove the ability to just barely miss your opponent. What they do in later Smash games is have a little spark effect when you just barely miss your opponent, and that's never been complained about as a bad mechanic even though it's from the exact same situation. Basically a Phantom Hit (when it works as intended) is just the game telling you that you were THIS close to hitting, but you didn't. If you remove Phantom Hits from the equation, that just means you missed, so I don't see how there could be a problem with it

AsumSaus made a vid on this 2 or 3 years ago

first

I mean shieks been doing that for a minute

Rivals mention!!!!

Does that Captain Falcon is the Character for Traditional Fighting Players🤔

Fox down b is the best move in the game since its 1 frame, wins neutral and opens for follow ups, and can gimp most characters at low %. Falcon up air can only kill at high % while requiring more startup than 1 frame.

New favorite melee channel. Great content man!

“Something lame & dumb like Fox” you said it not me haha

Great video reminds me back around the 2000s my cousin always tried challenging falcons Uair and always got denied. He said “it’s too fast” never thought it was the hit box

typical midwit analysis. Icies do all this with an even more dominating presence.

i'm a link player and that 'boring neutral, hype combos' theory has gotta be real because people LOVE link despite his neutral being potentially the most flowcharty in the game

People seeing stuff like xintini's clip but also being boxx supporters be like "he got lucky its dk it doesn't count" is hilarious too me

I just stand and fire. ~ Fox

i think 1:33 was bc of the fastfall

some of the other best moves across every smash game could be. Pikachu Up-air Falcon up air meta knight up air sheik f tilt Mario Up air Sheik Fair Fox Nair Kirby uptilt Yoshi Nair Btw I think Pikachu is the best character across all smash games, if you only were allowed to play one character in every smash game and you wanna win, pikachu is the best option, and if a new smash game is comming out, pikachu will almost always be a safe bet as a first few months main
