Zain is so studious. I distinctly remember how he kept losing to HBOX early on. But every time he brought something new to the table. Dash grabs. Pivot tippers. Slowly, he dismantled HBOX's defenses until finally he beat him at shine. It was so beautiful to watch!
On the same note - the first time he beat Axe. Axe hadn't lost to a Marth for a ridiculously long time, but Zain figured out a gameplan and played it impeccably. I remember watching it live and just being floored at how much different it looked than their previous sets.
i remember in a set vs qerb, the commentators said he practiced the matchup beforehand to make sure he didnt get snuck up on, no other top player would practice like that for a low tier main theyre gonna fight once
i like how he doesn’t just sound like he’s being nice, he genuinely sounds honest with these. goes to show how much respect he has for his fellow players
Since you didn't say anything about yourself, aside from the well-talked about "best recovery with fox", my observation is that you seem to be the best player at taking your guaranteed KO moves as soon as the opportunity is presented. The frequency at which you hit up-smash right at the percentage that kills, it looks simple but I don't see most foxes making the most of it like you do.
my favorite video i’ve seen of urs! i love this. i would watch individual player videos where you go into more detail gushing about things you like about them fr
i love that you made an effort to talk about unconventional answers for various players (deviating away from hbox being clutch, mango being unorthodox, zain being insane at edge cancels, etc.). it's really freshing to hear diff reasons why the top 10 of melee are so awesome. :)
When I first got into watching competitive smash your video on the 2019 rankings was one of the very first content pieces about melee I ever watched. From that video to this I gotta say your analysis of your fellow players is top notch and you are very good at communicating it with your audience.
Awesome video! It's super great to get to hear the positive things that are deeper than what the average joe like myself is every going to realize and appreciate the same
tbh I love hearing about the different skills of top player, like as a mid level player a lot of the time I'll hear x top player is so good at this, and I'll be like "wait is that a skill in the game?"
That was an awesome video, thank you Cody. Watching this was super insightful, you were giving valuable perspective on what its like competing at the top.
Feels like wizzy used to be one of the least enjoyable players to watch but now he's my favorite player to watch..idk if I gained a more appreciation or understanding of the game or wizzy just ascended like crazy
You’re right. Zain straight up Gokus himself after a tourney which is gonna be tense after that last matchup. Congrats on the win @ BC6! Prepare for the next matchup and keep this #1 into 2025, no doubt it’s tough.
Folks should stop judging ppl by their cover so easily. I used to think at the beginning Cody was gonna be an annoying abrasive person to the scene and is a know it all. After watching him grow over the years, he's one of my favorite players to watch and the online community are completely misjudging him due to false narration. Watch him more closely everyone and you will see he's actually a cool hardcore grinding dude.
Next video: 15 things I Hate about each top 100 player
Nice one cracked up
#44 gonna go so hard
lmaooo please we need it
@@regardingSumilollllllllll
Gets to Aklo and all 15 things are just moves that Link has
One thing I like about HBox: He pops off so hard he passes out
can't believe you would skip over nick yingling like that.

my favorite part of cody schwab is when he fed breast milk to jake
literally every none vegan tho
i like how he doesn’t just sound like he’s being nice, he genuinely sounds honest with these. goes to show how much respect he has for his fellow players
I truly love Wizzy.
He is one insanely unique player
As far as pure reaction time he is probably the best ever
wizzy is just mesmerising to watch in a way that no other player is
I love Wizzy gameplay. It’s also prolly the most recognizable of any player in melee which is pretty insane
*uniquely insane
Its so nice too see how much respect cody has for his opponents
lmfao the pause at the Jmook comment.
Positive vibes
Fr, Cody bringing good energy to the scen.
I think competitive gaming in general needs more of this. Good on ya,
He didn't HAVE to do Leffen...
Thanks for doing something positive, Cody! Cheers.

Cody’s kill confirms are fucking nuts.
I really like this type of content! I like learning about the process of great players and their journeys!!

loved hearing your thoughts on the other players. i could listen all day
Nice to see content like this once in a while. There really isn't enough of it.

I can’t believe Cody didn’t say what he likes about #1…
IBDW and him have beef
tbh I love hearing about the different skills of top player, like as a mid level player a lot of the time I'll hear x top player is so good at this, and I'll be like "wait is that a skill in the game?"
Excellent video shining a light on what makes the top Melee players unique. Loving the positivity.
the scene needed some wholesome shit like this hell yeah
Great video cody it rare we see theses positive vibes send arround across all players refreshing and im all here for it !
That was an awesome video, thank you Cody. Watching this was super insightful, you were giving valuable perspective on what its like competing at the top.
Everyone is hating on Cody, and Cody’s spreading love. That’s my #1
This is the type of content the world needs right now. Spread those positive vibes Cody
I love the positivity Cody! You seem like a good guy! Next time I see you at smash con I’m gonna say yo!
Cody's analylsis of amsa... "he is technical, he behaves like a normal Japanese person, he plays yoshi well."
Really appreciated this, love having some positivity
One thing I like about HBox is that you can always lean on him for support
One thing I like about Cody is that he’s literally a brutal opponent to battle and he’s just built different
Such a cool vid, way more interesting than most commentary on pro matches
I love this concept and execution. Great video
Wholesome Cody arc
Love the passive aggressiveness with Leffen. The fact we tolerate him despite no one liking him is insane to me.
It's criminal! all these guys are so awesome, & 10/10 video Cody!
Feels like wizzy used to be one of the least enjoyable players to watch but now he's my favorite player to watch..idk if I gained a more appreciation or understanding of the game or wizzy just ascended like crazy

Now this is a much needed video. Good shit
1:27 well, that aged poorly.
I was just about to comment that
THE PROPHECY
I'd rather have this kinda video than Mang0 shitting on moky and zain and claiming he's the only one who approaches and plays cool.
Great video as much as we love the shit talk we need some positivity and respect every now and then
This was really interesting I don’t follow the melee scene much. I would like see someone make the ultimate version of this.
love the positivity!
great video cody, thanks for sharing
always nice to share some Warm Fuzzies!
Tunic OST Cameo.
These players are all goats in their own way

WHOLESOME
LETS DO 10 MORE
Risk of Rain music got me tweakin
cody's PR manager putting in work
This was an awesome vid
Good energy
What did Amsa say about Cody at Apex? Can’t find it
Cody is actually nice once you get to know him
I love feeling downloaded….my opponent is a smooth operator~😌❤️
Nice video codester
so Zain is a saiyan
great content
"Why would he use it for donkey kong" 2 months later gets sent to losers by a DK
Thinking of a positive about leffen must be hard..💀
Did you say the same thing for jmook and mango?
Godlike video
W video
So what youe saying is... Zain is a saiyan
This is a nice video
Love this content 🫡
what a nice vid
Ah yes, the chrono trigger ost ❤

Cute vid Cody

Good video
Brakence sighting
I really hope we can move past this hater-y era. Good idea for a video.

bump for positivity
Lovely bideo ❤
Everything I hate about the top ten players (ten hour video)
Coday
Hi cody
Cody I love you
thank u now do top 30
box
Leffen uses complaining in a healthy way? I dunno, have you seen him lose against Hbox at LSI 1.5 years ago?
schWab
no nice comment on #1? snub #1?
Algo comment #5
What does it mean when you don't make a comment but it's not six words later
Notice how only the top 3 has more than 1 1st place finish.
I wonder how Armada would fair nowadays in today's competition.
He’d probably fair every once in a while as a combo extender.
