That Duck vs Hbox set is so bittersweet because on one hand it was amazing to see Samus do so well, but on the other hand, I don’t think Samus will ever get that close to winning anything ever
Yeah, it's tough because duck was like the last high level samus. Who knows how long it'll be before we see the rise of someone fully committed to the character. There is that one up and commer but I can't remember his name. They're nasty tho
Yah I've always been a strong believer that she will return but that's also cuz she's my favorite so I'm a bit biased, but I firmly believe she has one of the most versatile tool sets and tho a lot of it can be mitigated or has no viable use at the moment, maybe one day it can be optimized better
I'll give it some time. There are some top level Samus mains currently but they don't go to much. Morsecode beat Jmook and Cody last year. We also have swooper and wevans still. Wevans had one of the craziest online brackets for a Samus last year.
Fun fact, Stark was actually present at the Duck vs Hbox set and took notes for this very video while eating a burger from burgers priest and looking handsome
I totally forgot about the hype Akir hbox sets! Also, Smash Papi had some cool bowser gameplay against medz at smash factor but nothing flashy enough that I wanted to highlight.
No one uses any of these low tiers so no one knows the match up if anyone gets good with them. That's the same reason why someone was able to get fang to work.
matchup knowledge is very important, for someone who plays G&W, they know every part of the G&W fox matchup very well, but for a fox, even a fox whos "learned the matchup", they dont know more than the G&W
One thing to keep in mind: If your character has a 25-75 matchup, then (using standard Elo math, not sure what rating system is used in melee) you should expect an even fight if you're 200 elo points better than your opponent
@@StarkDoes Basically saying that the skill difference between a top 10 player and a top 500 player very well might already be enough to consistently overcome a bad matchup
These moments don't debunk anything. Melee tier lists are usually based on how many options a character can do in any situation, matchups, and results. It's not just one. It's all 3. Also, how exactly do we know that these moments weren't taken out of context? Now, does that mean that tier lists should be taken as law? No, but they still don't lose all merit
Very important to let you know that you're coming off as really weird in this comment. You've read too much into a title that acts as a segue to the real topic, and is clearly hyperbole And instead you've taken the mantle as a gatekeeper of tierlists, demanding context and criteria be followed as if your perspective is law I usually ignore responding at length but I think this could be a good learning experience so I'm sending it your way!
@robbiesrevelations3096 I'm just explaining how your comment makes you come off, it's not a negotiation or a debate :)! I promise that if you listened to the video, you'd understand the connection between content and title and you may not feel the need to grandstand on the topic of tierlists I appreciate sharing your thoughts dude!
Tbh I'm on Robbie's side, a lot of people don't know a thing about melee and might already think like it's fox only(or anything similar), it's just big click bait for people that don't know better.
Wow didn’t know _real_ girls played this game *at all!* till seeing some of these clips 😝 that’s so awesome *Edit, nvm there was like 1 (maybe) -BUT STILL! Better than 0

Wont be long before u see a samus in top 10 she has strong attacks and strong projectiles best recovery in the game like wtf more can u ask for

3:30 "sold to the forward air in the back" is such a great comms moment

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF GOOD LOOKIN' IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT
No flatbread though...
"A skilled Roy can beat any Fox" is becoming more and more visible
This is accurate now that Cody lost to BING's DK and MorseCode's Samus at GOML
3 months later and we have one of the most craziest moments that debunk tierlists. junebugs donkeykong top three at supernova

You know him well
He's finally back

Great video! A couple recent (tho online) examples i like are Akir beating Hbox with DK and Warriorknight beating Fishbait with Bowser
I totally forgot about the hype Akir hbox sets! Also, Smash Papi had some cool bowser gameplay against medz at smash factor but nothing flashy enough that I wanted to highlight.
Never realized Spanish commentary was so hype
I always hated melee commentary but that was fun
Some of the best commentary I can remember in recent years. The Australian stream was great too.
Mexico LOVES smash
That Mango vs Cody GOML 11 clip looks like TAS.
@@LlnsteadTAS linked in the description ;)
I have no idea if this is sarcastic or if you guys legitimately don’t know there’s only been 10 GOMLs
LETS GO DK! That Aklo comeback was insane! More niche videos about the melee community!
Thank you so much!!! I couldn't agree more about DK and the aklo comeback
@@StarkDoes If you ever need some funny monkey moments for your videos lmk, I got some clips :D
I saw Aklo vs Wevans live
It was the most hilarious set all day
As long as Melee lives.... so will the terminator.... i'l be back. (JASON - M2K.)
Damn that first clip was cold with Hbox was cold
I love this channel and Stark
Aklo confirms to me that an young link can win a major
But he plays link, not young link.
@@LargeMikelThough he played both
@@pedrohdalla nope. He only plays fox and link.
I love Aklo's and Savestate's Link! 💚💚
this was awesome i wholly enjoyed this
Thank you so much, that makes me so happy to hear!!!

Matchup experience > Character tier

it's unbelievable how low pichu's up and down throws launch, even if it is fox being thrown
the commentary 10/10
3 months later and we had DK get 3rd at a major

Donkey Kong just beat Cody lol
What about that time leffen was getting bodied by that dk player till he switched to shiek
That was ringler at mainstage!
I had it on my mind to include, but I was happier including some solid and more recent games against Zain!
i got clickbaited lol
Happens to the best of us
man showed the fake buffed pichu lol
I'm not sure if you're just making a joke about how good Codeman is or if you're serious LOL
Rocket mentioned :0
Eddy is my hero
good
MEWTWO IS TOP TIER RAAAAGH
Fuck yeah
I love how the lowest level players are the most passionate about tier lists😂
Such examples including... Zain, hungrybox, and Leffen?
@@StarkDoes lets be real who is actually more concerned with a tier list top or bottom level players
@@StarkDoes sure they make videos when they lose and salty or when chat tries to force them to discuss it but its really not an important conversation
And my comment wasnt a shot at you if thats what youre thinkin😂
@MRRAGERNIH I'm silver in ranked netplay, this hit too close to home 😤✊️
Why did there need to be such a long intro for what is essentially a gr smash video
You are no fun LOL
Leffen is seriously the most insufferable smash player. Imagine putting Jigglypuff at the top of the list cause you lost ☠️☠️
Wow didn’t know _real_ girls played this game *at all!* till seeing some of these clips 😝 that’s so awesome
*Edit, nvm there was like 1 (maybe) -BUT STILL! Better than 0
