You all probably dont care at all but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
The year is 20XX. Everyone plays the Ruy Lopez at Stockfish levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on starting colour. The Rock Paper Scissors metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches. Humanity has reached its pinnacle.
This video has aged super well for Melee, and fits into the new mindset a lot of people have been echoing: Melee is sick because there's so many different ways to play - and the 5 gods represent this spectrum well
In a way, Bobby Fischer is more similar to Armada than to Mang0. Both travelled over the their respective contrary continents (Which was way stronger than their own) and stood alone against an entire continent, ultimately prevailing and kicking everyones ass
Suggested this to Ludwig during the stream because I think this vid deserves some love. And he now loves Tal and likes that one music. Keep up the great work man.
I would say that Carlsen as Zain makes a lot of sense. Also I think Vishy Anand as Plup works great too. Anand was known for his speed and being great at rapid and blitz which fits Plup's extremely fast technical style well.
It sucks to see such a high quality video not blow up and go super viral due to the tiny target audience (people who are both into melee and chess) but I think you’ve done a good enough job at creating the context and explaining the comparisons perfectly that I truly believe anyone can enjoy this vid. I also think it’s fun to think about how both games have entered seemingly brand new eras recently, and it might be cool to theorize what kind of comparisons can be made from top level modern players of both games
This is beautiful. Playstyle really just arent talked about enough and in 1v1 games it defines so much. I too have been learning chess along side my fighting game journey and its opened my eyes to a lot of player interactions and ideas that work in both. To anyone playing either my best advice, Control the center.
This is fantastic. I don't really know much chess history outside of Bobby Fischer so listening to this mixed with melee knowledge and comparison is a love letter to my childhood
I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the love people are showing for this video! I love all of you guys. And yes my taste in music is impeccable, tell me more about it heh
P.S I think Isai is Capablanca or maybe Morphy. Both chess players played an important role in showing that sacrificing and simplifying -if you keep the initiative (attacking chances) - is very strong, in a time when this was not really appreciated. Isai and his C.Falcon was also a trailblazer, showcasing a level of play that no one could have really imagined. The rest of the world would catch up to his intuitive grasp of the game some years later. Isai's performances were really an early blueprint for the modern style of melee.
I love how I have very little knowledge of the melee scene, and how chess play styles work but found this video super entertaining. The way you explained things in both chess and for each player was super easy to digest. Great video man!
I just thought of this video after watching it when it was new a couple years ago, rewatched it and was every bit as captivated as I was the first time. Thank you so much for making it.
Underrated video, great analysis. Love the storylines and prowess in both games and you covered the ins and outs of both games without going too heavy on the jargon on either. Well done
absolutely superb video. breaking down both certain chess and melee interactions and relating them to each other was incredible to watch, even as a non chess player! also i highly approve of the use of danganronpa music, amazing ost :)
When I first seen this I was like "please dont say Mango is the Magnus Carlsen of Chess". We definitely don't have someone that good in Melee lmao. Great video dude
@@ichthyostegaxd3727 Chess mastery isn't just measured by pure ranking. It's also measured by dominance. Right now many of the top players can beat Magnus. He is not considerably ahead of the pack. The best player in history would show not just a dominance in ranking but also among their peers. Kasparov, Karpov, Lasker, etc all have a better chance at being the best player in history because they fit that criteria much closer than Magnus. And Magnus agrees, "Kasparov had 20 years uninterrupted as the world number 1...He must be considered as the best in history. But I feel that time is on my side...I'm not 30 yet. If I were to be considered the best in history at 30, I would have had to start dominating at 10."
@@deegobooster That's just being the most dominant/successful player. You can say Kasparov, Fischer, Karpov and the likes were the most dominant of their time but nobody ever was as good at the game of chess as Magnus Carlsen. Therefore he's the best player in history.
GOATED VIDEO DUDE, how have I never seen your channel before?? not sure if you're still reading comments 3 years on, but would you mind if I tried to get Coney to watch it as one of his melee essay movie nights? it's been a while since you made it but I think it would make a great main channel segment and maybe net you at _least_ a few hundred subs from those of us who are always starving for AsumSaus style content (in hopes you return to make more in the future)
Hello, and thank you! I'm not a Melee content creator, but I've been a long time player for a while. I'm glad you enjoyed! I read every single one of my comments still, so I'm happy that this video sorta picked up on everyone's algorythms all of a sudden haha. Definitely get Coney to watch it, I think he'll enjoy it as well.
@@DundiesTK well I'm ringing the bell anyway bro; you may have no plans for another banger like this one, but if you ever do get another Dundie Nuetron Brain Blast I gotta be there for it this was such a incredibly novel observation to make and you explored it with _just_ the right amount of depth and enthusiasm to be _properly_ nourishing to my smash-pilled, essay addicted audhd brain. seriously man, big ups, it's small creators like yourself, including the one-hits, that would inspire me to make my own essays if I had better self-discipline
As someone who doesn’t even know how to play chess, this video was beautifully presented and I could get most of it. It’s such a fun and interesting topic and I believe you did it justice.
I've only watched 7 minutes si far but i think this might be the best TH-cam video i've ever seen PS: my guess is that Mang0 is either Tal or Morphy Hyngrybox might be Karpov or Petrosian And for m2k and Armada i have no idea
Very good video hope to see more from you and to see you rise up in popularity. Edit: you need to work on your sound mixing. You are so Quiet and the music is so loud at some parts
i watch this video so much a top 3 video of all time such high effort and you can really tell love you dundies. (also who is the zain of chess i have to know)
Really interesting comparisons! I find it kind of sad that chess computers are so strong now and that it almost seems like play styles are becoming more universal in chess.
Bobby fischer was also a huge complainer during tournaments about noise or lighting and neurotic about small details. Just like mew2king obsesses about controllers or the crowd
Where's the Harkoni Gambit
The Harkoni Gambit is the friends that we've made along the way

@Matias Briar instablaster =)
Me: How does Bobby fisher equal M2K?
Bobby Fisher: I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves.
Me: Oh. I get it.
Fisher actually plays cool chess though, rather than M2K's "optimal" gameplay
Fischer's much more of a Leffen than an M2K imo. But more dominant than both.
@@SadToffeethat's believing he's not trying to play at his optimal game plan
@@greenoftreeblackofblue6625 fisher literally quit chess because it got too serialized and boring for him.
He also said he enjoyed it when he broke a man’s spirit.
this video made me realize that we are in the year 20XX of Chess with the computer programs being at the stage they are at

I love the morphy comparison but I'm very glad it doesn't extend into isai's personal life like it did for morphy.
Who do you think for Ken? So early to the scene he got to simply dominate - probably Morphy?
I love how I have very little knowledge of the melee scene, and how chess play styles work but found this video super entertaining. The way you explained things in both chess and for each player was super easy to digest. Great video man!
Thank you! I was hoping that I clarified enough for people who were unfamilar, so I'm happy to hear that.
@@DundiesTK anytime! You did an amazing job at it :)
I just got recommended this video and WOW, I have to say I’m blown away!! Such a great video!!
I just thought of this video after watching it when it was new a couple years ago, rewatched it and was every bit as captivated as I was the first time. Thank you so much for making it.
dope editing dude
Comparing windmill checks with chain grabs was brilliant.
Combining two of my passions, I love it... even before I started playing I thought, "I bet Jason is Fischer."
watching on ludwig's stream, super cool vid!!
Thank you so much!
Underrated video, great analysis. Love the storylines and prowess in both games and you covered the ins and outs of both games without going too heavy on the jargon on either. Well done
... Tal has always been my favorite chess player. It all makes sense now.
finally found something that appeals to both my diehard obsessions of melee and of chess this is wonderfully niche and i love it lol
Insanely high effort but it makes for a great vid, good shit
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
As a former smasher and a current chess player: I'm actually scared to see how targeted the algo can get in serving this to me lol
absolutely superb video. breaking down both certain chess and melee interactions and relating them to each other was incredible to watch, even as a non chess player!

Absolutely incredible video. Very accurate and a great excuse to show off incredible chess games
There were so many games I wanted to showcase in this video, but I had to shorten them to the most concise examples of each player!
The 3rd strike music made this video perfect
Bro keep making content you are gonna blow up!
As a huge fan of chess, Melee and Queen’s Gambit, I thoroughly enjoyed this
idk anything about chess but this was extremely fascinating and easy to follow
edit: 21:23 my god that is diabolical
One of the best Melee videos I've ever seen. Amazing.
You're amazing!
@@DundiesTK No you are amazing dude! :D Really great work! I hope to see more of it in the future! :)
This was insanely good. Now I wanna watch more chess stuff. Subbed instantly.
Check out Agadmator or Matojelic, they show so many cool games that I learned from!
This was a brilliant analysis / comparison video! Loved every second of it
Man this was a really good video! Great work
YO Verut you watched this?! Hell yeah hahaha thank you my man!

very nice video, love the chess and melee scene, and gave me a bunch of new chess history knowledge.
I love this video! Very comprehensive, and entertaining as all hell, keep going man!
That's one of the best things I could ever hear! Thank you!
This video is excellent! Thanks for making it.
Really impossible to give this enough praise. Amazing amazing stuff
I always compared smash to a fighting game equivalent to chess, so I just searched up “melee chess” and found this video, good video btw
Fantastic video ❤❤❤
Banger video
This deserves wayyy more views
this video was so well made and interesting. i didnt plan on watching much of it but i ended up watching the whole thing lmao
This gotta be the nichest video I've ever seen
This video is amazing, two of my favourite hobbies put into one
Thank you for your kind words my friend!
I've only watched 7 minutes si far but i think this might be the best TH-cam video i've ever seen
PS: my guess is that Mang0 is either Tal or Morphy
Hyngrybox might be Karpov or Petrosian
And for m2k and Armada i have no idea
That ending! Very funny and the video was very well made!
What a watch. I love the soundtrack you used!
Thank you for watching!
this video honestly deserves more views holy shit.
Your content is sick dude
that axe cameo at 24:18 killed me
This is a really good video
Amazing video!
I have problems with melee's view of "the 5 gods", but this was a very well made video.
Saw the video on mango's stream but it was so good I had to come give the view and like, good job.
Thank you for the support!
incredible video. you're gonna be big one day if you keep uploading (I BELIEVE)
my god this video is amazing
Thank you!
I guessed the Botvinnik move because that passed pawn looks so juicy, but I had none of the calculations to back it up
Very nice. You get the same parallel in Kuroko basket
Excellent video man
Thank you so much!
great job very informative and interesting
What a fricking amazing video! TOP TIER CONTENT
Thank you! I'm super happy with the results of this video, so I'm glad you guys all enjoyed it too
Very informational and very funny editing
This chess thing is interesting, I hope a small community of nerds somewhere start making tournaments for it
This video increased my intelligence tenfold
this makes me wonder about the kind of gods on any other game. great vid
2:15 uhh no. You can also get into the Queen’s Gambit Declined when people play 1. c4
Tal and mango also both very frequently not sober
This vid is great, amazing job
I was so happy you said m2k is bobby fisher. Great comparison
insane vid, underrated
5:55 this analogy would work really well with DI trapping as well
Bruh!!! This video is pure fire🔥!!
You're pure fire hEH
Very good video hope to see more from you and to see you rise up in popularity.
Edit: you need to work on your sound mixing. You are so Quiet and the music is so loud at some parts
i watch this video so much a top 3 video of all time such high effort and you can really tell love you dundies. (also who is the zain of chess i have to know)

Thank you so much, that means a lot!

Yooooo good shit dundies loved it
Thank you!
"And you can't find moves like that unless you're Kevin Nanney himself"

God I love Mang0
