Thank you so much for this amazing work. This vid gives me a ton of new ideas and you had some absolutely brilliant ones in here. Absolutely loved this and I'm taking notes!
This is the greatest TAS video I've ever seen. I had so many hand-to-mouth moments. Disgusting. I hope we see Links starting using some of these ideas.
It took many, many, many, tries to get the ghost arrow to steal the textures like that. 0 documentation exists on how to do it, and honestly I just got lucky that it worked eventually.
100% possible on a vanilla 1.0 copy of the game. The arrow slot is filled by some of the ui assets, took a loooong time to make it happen because i cannot reliably predict what will make it fill the arrow slot with those instead of something else like a shyguy
@@mymyscellany give it your best shot but dont get discouraged if it doesnt steal the textures the first few dozens tries. took me maybe....10 hours with savestates. it worked after fox shot his laser, dont know if that had anything to do with it. I just tried to keep adding to what happened before pulling the arrow until it worked.
problem is these TASses have one distinct advantage that can't be replicated by even the most perfect of execution and decision making, which is that they are made from the perspective of someone who already knows what inputs the other character will make. You can't replicate that without being psychic, which we aren't. They have made CPUs that play exceedingly well, more or less perfectly by the standards we've set, but they don't do the super cool stuff you see in this video because they can't see into the future to see which direction you'll DI a move later when placing a bomb down first, for example.
@@sutfolsemaj It could play in kind of the same way a chess bot would, making its inputs what would give it the best chance at winning on any given frame. This would have to be adjusted because it would lead to a lot of camping though
The Links are so cool, it should be noted tho that the hookshot super jump is only possible in 1.0 & 1.1 and to my knowledge 1.2 is always the standard at big tournaments for a few years by now. I do believe deep in my heart that both of them can make more waves in the future like DK has been doing lately!
more of link specifically? I don't think I will, but I am currently working on one of these for Game and Watch. However it will only be 3 games rather than the usual 5. Because I don't believe I can keep things unique and interesting for 5 games.
something tells me that one can do a lot of cool shit with bringing someone up to the top platform and doing some up b edge cancel shenanigans from its edges. can it drag down or does it just sorta pop up like a small jab or like marth's nair?
Ghost arrow, arrow gets unloaded while grabbing the ledge. Then by trying to use the arrow again, on rare occasions the area of memory in which the arrow is stored normally will be filled by something else. In this case it was some part of the textures or something, after that I really have no idea the specifics. Took maybe a couple dozen hours of grinding and arrowing at random until it did that.

Wait, that wasn't you in this video? 🤔 I thought Tool Assisted Superplay (TAS) was your pseudonym lol
This is what melee is all about!
Aklo?!
6:03 Now *that* is what I call a chain grab.
Wizzy if he played Link:
isn’t Link’s grab technically always a *chain* grab? ehheehehehe
Jmook if he grabbed link
the link ganon was one of the best tas i've ever seen. so creative so good

I see this TAS guy in videos doing such amazing things! I wonder if he’ll ever enter a tournament?
Fox: *Uses recovery move* HIYAHHH!
Link: "Suck my bombs, Fox. You know that's my line."
That Fox fight was wild jfc

@@chunk0354it was awesome. Thanks for making the video!
@@chunk0354 I've never heard of this before...do you now have any thoughts on how it works/how to do it?
@@chunk0354Doesn't AsumSaus's video about Link explain how to perform it?
@@RCJoo Was said video out 9 months ago?
pro tip: name this "600 hours" and deny its a tas until people find out and retroactively say youve always called it a tas
I COMPLETELY approve of how Link ABSOLUTELY DISRESPECTED GANONDORF 😮😮😮
1:18 mario thinks this video's about him
One of the best memee tas es I have ever seen, so creative. Ghost arrow got me at the end, good stuff.
Is that a real glitch? I thought the lack of transparency on the textures was just a mod or something.

@@chunk0354 Oh, I might have heard of this before from AsumSaus? But I had the PAL copy so I guess I never had a chance of encountering this XD
@@chunk0354 you know I'm not sure if this has really been verified on vanilla? I'm interested to do that. I have a copy of 1.00.

2:37 me if i met myself back in time:
This guy really just shot the null arrow
aklo lookin good these days
Link if he drank his daily Lon Lon ranch milk
Dude up-b on melee link sends at such a despicable angle
Glad to see you back on it!
Wish I could actually play melee because this is inspiring
The hero of time everybody
So this is RedX without his limiters
Man, TAS NEEDS to compete already!! This dude could win a super major with bowser bruh
this makes me miss TASing lol, good work! my fav has to be the ganondorf match
I was ready for 7 mins of uneditted tech chases
Wow these TAS videos are incredible!! Keep it up brotha! Would love to see a Samus one 🤞🏼
All those super wavedash tech chases. Lmao
Holy fucking shit that ending is amazing
We need an official TAS CPU difficulty in the next smash game, that would be so fun
And if you take 1 stock, you unlock all characters instantly
@@upy0ur5 too easy, you gotta beat them

Fsmashing the opponent and bomb at the same time is so sick.
Absolutely insane shit. Nice job
thank you for making these,,, deserves way more views and appreci8ion

Thank you, I’ll be here all week, I have no life.
You make mario look like he's the hardest for link to fight against 😂
Hi Shaun
@@Bruce-906 Hi Bruce.
Not only do I not know how any of this is possible, I also have no idea what I'm seeing
I need someone to make this for ultimate. Beautiful work!
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen.

That glitch… You learn something new about Melee every day 😅
During the heavy set with Ganondorf, if I understand TAS correctly, what's the practical reason for the self-damage with bombs? (starts at 4:30)
So i can blow myself up and get launched farther by them lol. Mostly so the bomb sends me to him at the end, and it raises the stakes when he hits me.
Aklo is smiling
Aklo, even!
Holy shit by the end of it I was laughing so much with the glitches xD
Good stuff man
Best ending of any TAS.
A magic scrumpy combo video? In 2024?
It’d be so fire if Links actually played like this.
8:23 What did fox do to you that you gave him a fate of glitching into submission.
AWESOME! keep up the great work!
Who knew link had a shine 😭
this link looks like falcon with some of those aerials
2:40 The battle of the gods
4:32 ayoooo! That's a ganon CPU moving like that???
for a moment, Ganon was sentient. now, he’s dead.
TAS can make any character seem viable
They pulled an ultimate with those bomb drops
last ganon kill was funny
SO sick nice work!!
WE GOT MELEE LINK MOONWALKING BEFORE GTA 6 😢 2:54
Man, this guys a machine!
If only Aklo could play like this.
In the year 20-bomb-bomb...
As a link, main videos like this are an inspiration.
that ganon game was amazing
"Bombs... you want it?"
This one was handsome as fuck
The ghost arrow was so uncanny
8:04 What the actual f*ck
This is just normal RedXLink combos now, lol.
Goat.
TIL that Link can waveshine.
3:44 I didn't know you could HESS in Melee!
MELEE PROS, take down ya notes. This seems to make Link viable . . .
This isn't TAS this is just Aklo
The last fight was basically terminalmontage link getting revenge due to fox fighting link last time
Edit: oh damn, its a tie
6:03 *_A Melee Hell Original_*
Best part is this isn't turbo mode. This could actually done. But only if you're frame perfect lmao
Looks actually just like SSBU Link
remember: every character, except the bottom 5, are viable in melee
Ness is bottom 5

i fucking love melee
1:06 B.O.B moment?
Part 2 please!

LES GO!!
Yessssssss another one
Link is viable without TAS. Link is the best character in the game(delusional but true thoughts)
😬 long live the hero of time
3:15 how does link grab ledge you isn't he facing the wrong way and grabbing it from underneath?
Link can grab from both directions with his up special
@@chunk0354 facinating
Nah, link going under on Mario IS DISRESPECTFUL
something tells me that one can do a lot of cool shit with bringing someone up to the top platform and doing some up b edge cancel shenanigans from its edges. can it drag down or does it just sorta pop up like a small jab or like marth's nair?
Why did everything get so corrupted at the end?

In this case it was some part of the textures or something, after that I really have no idea the specifics. Took maybe a couple dozen hours of grinding and arrowing at random until it did that.
That’s such a sick way to end the video. TAS Link not only beats fox but destroys the whole game, including himself
0:53
WTF!?
link main here… ily
Looks like Ultimate's zdrop combos lol
Wtf was 1:38 ? He started the fair facing right and ended up facing left???
Mario cape
can you do yong link?
Imma do game and watch next, probably pikachu after that, maybe yink then. I feel like yink will be very similar to this.
Can you do game and watch next? You already did my fav Luigi
I think I was gonna do pikachu next, but G&W might be simpler. So i’ll probably do G&W next as a change of pace following Link
@@chunk0354 Omg thanks, I can’t wait for it! Hope u 9 a captain falcon to hear the funny death noise
No JV5 in the first game?
My policy used to be 0 damage. But strategic damage opens more possibilities.
@@chunk0354 It really does. Especially with characters like Link
This obviously isn't a human playing. Wow.
I mean technically its me playing. Just maybe 20-40 hours of gameplay condensed into 8 minutes.
@@chunk0354 I was trolling sorry. Good job with the tas
Can young link also do the continuous bomb drop chain?
Probably, but his bombs send opponents at a different angle
Link does better against Peach then falco does against peach.
