This is a weird and wonderful world we live in where people are actually cheering for a Fox in a match against a Yoshi. Cheers to both incredible players
Spoilers Whenever I watch Moky I'm always impressed with his constant improvement. He used to be the type of person to get top 8s but lose to the very top. However this year especially it finally seems like he's been beating many people in top 8. Hbox was a player he would often lose game 5s to and now he's 2-0 on him this year. He's got a win on Cody, 2 wins on Amsa, a win on Plup, Zuppy, Aklo etc. It's really only Jmook Zain and Mango that he needs to find adjustments to beat. Congrats on this win for him, it's been a matter of time. His super major win will come soon.
@@MrShadow1995. He's basically burned out from the game and wants to enjoy life outside of melee. He never officially announced that he retired or will retire but he also never mentioned about when he's coming back to compete again.
l feel like amsa had q few uncharacteristic mistakes here and there (maybe something actually wrong with his controller?) but Moky still played really well and won a well deserved win, this was a great set!
He missed a lot of dash backs when and just seemed to stand there when tech chasing. They seemed easy to react to for someone of Amsa’s level. Idk he missed a questionable amount but it was a dope set regardless.
Looking like a hot Canada rivalry in the works! Also my phone is in black and white mode and let me tell you mokys popoff looked pretty damn raw in grayscale.
Moky is a great player, definitely not a small package lol. Also this result was bound to happen since aMSa himself considers Moky as the best Fox in the matchup.
This grand finals was way too sick! Both players played out of their minds! I have a question. What happened to Armada, Mango, Mew2King, Dr. PeePee, etc.? Why don't we see them at tournaments anymore? Thanks in advance to anyone who answers the question.
this specific event was also smaller, mostly just canadians showed up. Amsa and moky both live in canada, only out of canada guy in top 8 was Aklo from New York. Melee's in a good spot without the gods tho. We still have hbox and mango as the old guard, but the top 3 players rn are probably jmook cody and Zain. It's sick
THE MIXUP GAME by these two players is incredible. Especially on recovery. Moky was orginally winning the mixup on recovery when he would fast fall past the eggs in the first set. Second set game 3( potentially even before then) Amsa starts calling out the fast fall timing and mixing up his own fast fall timing to ledge when he has to airdodge. Completely skewed the Opk or punish differential in his favor. Their platform mixups were also crazy. I don't even know where to start with that and Amsa was missing some jab resets etc. Here and there but Moky was also mixing him up on combo di
Big congrats to Moky on his first win of 2023 (and first of his career?)! With the trajectory of his previous majors (Top 4 at G9 and I believe top 8 at Collision?) I'm betting he's going to have a major grand finals pretty soon. BC5 soon, perhaps?
Amsa had so many accidental air dodges. Maybe his controller really was wonky - he never misses those, and it's a pretty small frame window. Even that last stock of everything; accidental air dodge -> death.
If you go frame by frame at 7:56, moky could've gotten a bair out a couple frames before he did, I think three frames even. Amsa just barely beat him out tho, if only moky didn't di hard left, he would've had more horizontal momentum to get away as well.
I did wanna see an aMSa win because it would've been great to overcome potentially the most dangerous Fox in the matchup but I can't say Moky didn't earn this win. The amount of grit and mental strength to get through a lot of the hardships in the LF set and GF set 2 were insane, doesn't even feel like the same player we saw in 2022.
11:02 idk who that commentator is that calls out this up smash oos is but they've been so on point saying things that I missed like no jumps and such. Awesome commentary
@@Jaysolate I don’t follow melee as much as ultimate. I usually only see the gf’s. I know fox is like the best character of the game but literally every time I’ve seen Amsa play any fox, he wins so that’s why I thought that
I'm not super familiar with the scene, and I gotta say I'm rarely impressed with melee commentary, but was this that bad? What are you referring to exactly?
Let down grand finals... Amsa played poorly, Moky played mediocre‐to‐watch fox with yoshi matchup knowledge, and the commentators didn't commentate. Zzz
this commentary was basically two dudes watching the match and reacting lol.. zero analysis, zero insights/information, zero actual commentary. one dude just kept repeating "damn" and the other kept pronouncing it aMZa...
Yo the aspect ratio change at the end for the pop off was FIRE
Cinema!
That's the best grand finals I've seen in a long time
Lol
me too, don't remember the last time I got hyped by a fox
Amsa’s second to last stock was a heartbreaker 😢
Randal save for Mok into an SD. Ouch....
Might be a dumb question, but why didn't Yoshi grab the ledge?
@@tally.klecko After you airdodge, there is a delay before you can grab ledge. aMSa was slightly too low, so ledge grab wasn't quite active yet.
true that one was tough
My boy Moky played out of this world. GG's to Amsa. Greatest grands I've seen in a while!
He's your son?
You raised an incredible human being.
This is a weird and wonderful world we live in where people are actually cheering for a Fox in a match against a Yoshi. Cheers to both incredible players

Mang0 isnt competing so it's just jake and zain that he needs to worry about.
Reminder that Moky took a game on FD off Zain
@@relaxn3918 Yeah, he went up 2-0, before Zain turned it up hard
@@shorthopdoublelasers4168 why isn't mang0 competing? He's retired?
@@MrShadow1995. He's basically burned out from the game and wants to enjoy life outside of melee. He never officially announced that he retired or will retire but he also never mentioned about when he's coming back to compete again.
Moky played very very well
14:07 was insannnne
this shit is the 1 opening per kill type of success we all strive for... god moky is so sick with it
l feel like amsa had q few uncharacteristic mistakes here and there (maybe something actually wrong with his controller?) but Moky still played really well and won a well deserved win, this was a great set!
He's using his secondary controller. Definitely had problems with his main controller because he kept looking at it in the WF set vs Aklo.
He missed a lot of dash backs when and just seemed to stand there when tech chasing. They seemed easy to react to for someone of Amsa’s level. Idk he missed a questionable amount but it was a dope set regardless.
Some amazing sets. Hard fought by both players, with close and exciting games. Happy to see Moky get one.
Looking like a hot Canada rivalry in the works! Also my phone is in black and white mode and let me tell you mokys popoff looked pretty damn raw in grayscale.
A skilled, disciplined Fox seems to be aMSa’s bane. Good job moky
Just playing the matchups strengths, I think it just shows the tier list in a way but also just how good they both are with their characters
Still a game 10, not his bane imo
@@danvelazuez Moky spamming drill on aMSa was so disrespectful but also optimal lmao
@@melikmourali2072 He should be able to armor through that
Corny af
Sure was nice of AMSA and Moky to play a set for the patients of this methadone clinic.
The cropped cam at the end is a sick effect
Lets go Moky! Way to show everyone that big things come in small packages!!! Amazing run!!!
Moky is a great player, definitely not a small package lol. Also this result was bound to happen since aMSa himself considers Moky as the best Fox in the matchup.
@@melikmourali2072 he’s saying that he physically looks like a 16 year old boy lmao
@@colebresnehen38 Hes just a lil guy
Such a hard fought battle. Looking forward to GOML! 🇨🇦

Well, everyone but Mango retired from competitive melee. Mango still plays a lot.
@@mlbrandon94 even mang0 is taking a break, but he's gonna be back eventually

M2k has always said that he would participate competitively if he had money for travel and registration fees.
@@jpoblete11 the dog isn't in him anymore, he has a way more comfortable life as a content creator and coach (not that that's a bad thing)
Moky played SICK and looked stone cold doing it. I'm so happy for him!
2:22 yo did amsa parry then perfect shield that up air?
The Come Up was the first offline tournament I've been to and it was really fun. Hoping they run it again next year
Are y’all gonna post ultimate tourney for the come up as well?
Congrats to Moky 🎉🎉🎉 they played a wonderful set that had me on the edge of my seat.
27:31 One of the biggest impacts I've ever seen Randall have. Usually when he saves people, they proceed to die immediately anyway.
I can't believe Moky was able to reverse 3-0 Amsa while looking so salty ngl
This camera quality is insane
Will the Goosekhan Aklo match be uploaded?
Moki was moking, he was doking, Moki was moking AND doking
Idk what was better, the match or that camera quality at the end of the game lol

I missed most of this tourney, what are some sets i should watch?
Big congrats to Moky on his first win of 2023 (and first of his career?)! With the trajectory of his previous majors (Top 4 at G9 and I believe top 8 at Collision?) I'm betting he's going to have a major grand finals pretty soon. BC5 soon, perhaps?
Honestly, getting yoshi to grands lately is the bigger W in my book.
Amsa's 3rd Game comeback had me yellin "YEEEEAH!"
Grand Master Yoshi!
Amsa had so many accidental air dodges. Maybe his controller really was wonky - he never misses those, and it's a pretty small frame window. Even that last stock of everything; accidental air dodge -> death.
amsa is so fun to watch, and moky is amazing as well first time seeing him, amazing stuff!
HE WAS MOKING. HE WAS DOKING.
Holy shit this set was insane
Was this a major?
Insane set - both players were in the fucking zone
gotta love a game 10 last stock
Good job to both players for putting on awesome game 10 situation
If you go frame by frame at 7:56, moky could've gotten a bair out a couple frames before he did, I think three frames even.
Amsa just barely beat him out tho, if only moky didn't di hard left, he would've had more horizontal momentum to get away as well.
Great job Moky, that was a fire Melee set!
Where was Mango Zain and Cody ?
You must've not kept up with melee at all if you're asking where Mang0 is smh.
@@lakesorrow3912 Yea honestly i didn't, do u know more ?
That combo for the reset was CRAZY
No hate intended but surely we can produce some better commentary than this
Totally agree, really difficult to concentrate on the gameplay for me at times. But regardless, lfg moky!
They are probably tired... but yeah I agree
@@calebrobinson6406 I would give them that if it hadn’t been the same level of commentary the entire tourney
Came to comment this. They tried, but probably needed better commentators for a grands with this caliber of players
Yeah the game was more exciting than the commentators were making it out to be
I did wanna see an aMSa win because it would've been great to overcome potentially the most dangerous Fox in the matchup but I can't say Moky didn't earn this win.

Completely agree Moky earned the win. I can’t wait to see them play again.
Does this qualify as a major or a regional?
Regional.
Stacked regional with some out of country talent
Godlike set!!!!!
Damn I really fuck with amsa!
moky vs amsa is hard to get into because i want both of them to win
21:33 This was so Ace 😳
Moky ledge pressure!
Melee scene looking so grim right now commentary regressing to '07 quality
Minnesota here. I SEE YOU CANADA.
20:02 Drill CITY
Damn.... WHAT A SET....
Six Fox dairs plus a shine equals one Yoshi dair... Good to know lol
Let's go moky!!! GGs
amsa is a god wth!
OH CAAAANADAAAAAAAA!!!
🥁
damn what a GFs! This was a great one. Say amsa lost but moky was was so on point. Great game.
11:02 idk who that commentator is that calls out this up smash oos is but they've been so on point saying things that I missed like no jumps and such. Awesome commentary
Commentary was awful. Please don't encourage shit commentary like this.
Moky out here playing Celeste god damn
Moky must’ve done a line of coke before this jesus christ
How did the laser at 21:16 hit moky?
his brother gotta feel validated
moky the best fox to ever do it on god
aMSa is really good, Yoshi is not a good tier char and gave a incredible fight. Had some weird death like 27:50, he could have won.
i fuckin love moky lfg
WOOO MOKY
If Adderall was a banned substance i would need a drug test for mokey after this sett frfr. Bro was cracked
If there were those sort of bans you'd never have heard of ibdw
Moky has restored my faith in melee fox over yoshi, insane gameplay!
Then u never believed in fox to begin with because this makes no logical sense
But Cody has beaten him in the last 4 sets they played, and since offline tournaments started again in 2021, Cody is up 8-2
@@Jaysolate I don’t follow melee as much as ultimate. I usually only see the gf’s. I know fox is like the best character of the game but literally every time I’ve seen Amsa play any fox, he wins so that’s why I thought that
Fox over amsa. Fixed it for you
what a popoff
Man send the asteroid.
I'm not super familiar with the scene, and I gotta say I'm rarely impressed with melee commentary, but was this that bad? What are you referring to exactly?
Big up moky 😎
Amsa was robbed by Yoshi's Story
dope
LFG MOKY
MOKY DOKYYYYYYYYY
He Mokin He Dokin
GOAT
Gg
MOKYYYYY
i love moky
I'm Moking
I'm Doking
rip amsa controller. wp moky tho
Canadian commentators got triggered when I said America better lol
Yes, Moky! I love Amasa but fuck Yoshi.
Amsa nooooooooo😢
Let down grand finals... Amsa played poorly, Moky played mediocre‐to‐watch fox with yoshi matchup knowledge, and the commentators didn't commentate. Zzz
Nah moky put some spice on it
Commentator isn't a Moky stan at all 😂
Nice he beat the Chinese yoshi
Japanese
lfg moky
Oof ending
very uncharacteristic mistakes from amsa in these games. hate to see it
this commentary was basically two dudes watching the match and reacting lol.. zero analysis, zero insights/information, zero actual commentary. one dude just kept repeating "damn" and the other kept pronouncing it aMZa...
Such a great tournament...but that second commentator..please get him out. An avg player could comment better, come on. "That's crazy"x127 isn't it.
i am sorry i must give the 421st like
Sweaty Fox mains 👎🏽
