3:40 Don't forget flat zone's temporary low traction zone, the oil spill!
Also the stadium grass right?
@@alex__9001stadium grass is higher traction im pretty sure
@@Octobeann oh damn you’re right
i love the oil spill
i think the small patches of the turtles exposed shell on great bay also have reduced traction
That wavedash clip is definitely the best explanation of the mechanic I've ever seen.
I agree

I was about to make the same comment before I read this lol
I didn't see that. Why didn't he mention that? 😮
yeah amsa walked away with a cool 10 grand
Armada retired
amsa has the true spirit of melee, pushed his childhood favourite character to #2 in the world with a constant smile on his face, such a huge inspiration
Based
I formally request the re-legalization of all the wiiwiies and joumping marioos for the preservationist gamer historian custodian posteriorrity.
I remember I once accidentally made Snorlax destroy some cars while the road was still moving, so it was cool to see for that one match a car that was just burning in a random point of the track that wasn't a stopping point for the stage
Another way in training mode is to use the Super Star and Hammer at the same time and jump on the tracks while the platform is moving and the vehicles are passing by. I use to destroy them for fun by doing that.
I love how happy Amsa and Cody both look. They’re laughing and just having a great time, and it’s such a good energy

Even if they were trans they're still a human, so treat them like one asshole.
@@DukeBluedevil70Going out of your way to say something thats false and harmful really shows what a person you are
@@Stampyboyz They aren’t. Cope.
Honestly, Off Season 2 was the most fun I've had watching a tournament in a minute. Hope to see more stuff like it.
I'm glad to see that truly everyone enjoys melee
surprised you get reception all the way in your hardcore superflat world!
Y know I respect tournaments that let stages that aren’t boring and flat get picked, it’s nice to have it get acknowledged that the stage, if trained on well, can actually really showcase a form of skill in the game you don’t really get in “competitive” play
Mogswamp jumpscare
@@megarotom1590 A skill that I would argue is just as important to being a good Smash player as memorizing characters' frame data.
I can't believe competitive melee players are finally having fun after 15 years. So cool seeing the meta game evolve all these decades!
Are...are they even allowed to have fun? I thought fun was banned in tournaments a decade ago
the age of sweaty ass players is gone finally
Last 15 years of sweatlords is what made the melee community 10x bigger than it ever had any right to be. If none of them cared about being competitive they would've just moved on to the new and more diverse smash games like everyone else was telling them to do.
"More diverse smash games"
Lmao.
@@SuperCatacata
@@CreamyPesto505I mean… they are. Have you seen the character numbers these days? There’s at least a hundred times as many matchups vs melee
I use to pray for time like this
But what do you use? Insence, a shrine, offerings?
Your prayer paid off. Thank you.
to rhyme like this
@@Chicodreams So I had to grind like that
@@andrewferguson6901 It doesn't matter so much what specific ritual, equipment or deity. The aspects that matter most for a successful prayer are desire, intent, focus, faith and patience. Experiment with different methods and see what works best for you. Personally, I like doing it lying in my bed when half asleep with binaural beats playing in headphones. The most important thing is to not have distracting thoughts, your only thoughts should be the thing you are wishing for and nothing else, and you have to have such strong faith that you believe it's already happened. It takes practice of course.
first time ever hearing about the off season. the fact they have the option of fun stages in the set actually makes me excited to watch it. do we know when another tournament from them will happen?
Idk when the next will happen but next year is a good guess at around the same time, but I highly recommend watching some sets the commentary is amazing as they also hold call of duty and guitar hero tournies and share the commentators and well CoD commentary in smash is the funniest thing ever
The lead optic guy intends on doing it every year, he's a big melee fan.
Admittedly, I'm a little biased because I've been a fan of Hitch and OpTic for years, but the Off-season seems like less of a tournament, and more of a celebration of gaming, people who love what they do getting together for a charitable cause and the love of the games they play. Highly recommend tuning in to the next one if you can next year.
Probably never with the new Nintendo guidelines
Nintendo said they'd sue anyone who did a tournament with a Nintendo game for profit or nonprofit so that prolly won't happen.
As much as I love the tournament legal stages, it’s fun to see people playing competitively on “unfair” stages. Makes for a lot more refreshing situations.
Didn’t know there even was an off-season for melee, definitely gonna be paying attention to that now!
Awesome video!
People have done that for years with pokemon stadium
@@usernametaken017 haha, but Pokémon stadium is the legal non-legal stage! That doesn’t count! :3
We need more events like The Off Season. A time of relaxation before hopping into another major is a genius idea and I'm surprised nobody thought about this. Just have fun playing the game, not everything needs to be competitive :)
Agreed. Not just for Melee, but for Ultimate also.
There's so many funny ass stages in Ult we never get to see (many of which could pass for legal, but never see action because they're not perfectly flat or have moving platforms.)
A time for play amongst the time we set aside for play. What strange creatures we are. (For the record I totally agree, there need to be more "fuck around" tourneys)
Cod agreed, hate the fan base mentality of tourney legal only
Yeah, definitely. Have your serious tournaments still, that's fine. But have fun chaotic quirky side tournaments too, where every stage is legal. See what kind of chaos unfolds. It'd be fun af.
Amsa literally won 10k lol, how do you stop being competitive with 10k on the line?
Mute City's return was a breath of fresh air as a spectator imo.
Oooh, first time doing non-short-form content on this channel! Fun topic and great music choices throughout the video. Regardless of how much it matters to our scene narratives, The Off Season is just a fun event that's worth discussing.
wow, it's been so long since the last time I saw you, I used to see your comments a lot under Siivagunner video
NOW WAY SSBSEAL
Amsa was so fucking wholesome with that hug with cody and the air guitar playing
It was a real guitar, I'm sure of it!
Great graphics. All of them. Also why grind out useless knowledge on a single non-legal stage with items that you can't use for hours? Because you never know when one tiny fragment of what you learned is going to be what determines your victory one day.
Or for funsies
Or because it’s silly and that’s fun.
@@houraisheperd9721 Sure but not everyone finds labbing out stage minutia fun. Amsa's passion for grinding for Yoshi and also for grinding Mute City go hand in hand with his sense of fun.
@@Bones_ idk if its just me but labbing out anything is just fun as shit, useful or not
its probably finding new things out that captivates me
@@Joshy- And you probably also have a fascination with obscure knowledge regardless of whether it has an assured usefulness. Then it sits in your brain until it possibly maybe does.
Holy shit the editing in this video is on another level, melee moments never fails to impress
Wow, the graphics provided are absolutely gorgeous, and this was really well narrated on top! Amazing video and YATTA AMSA
Amsa vs Cody Off Season was just great to watch. Seeing both of them having lots of fun instead of being frustrated about losing made it wholesome.
"It has one thing that sets it apart from every other stage in Melee...Multiple Locations"
*Poke Floats has entered the chat
Rainbow ride would like a word.
@@oliver4534I don’t think Rainbow Ride is a map in Melee, correct me if I’m wrong.
Pokemon Stadium would like a word as well.
At least, this was true before they started freezing it.
That diagram was *fantastic*. Pure creative brilliance and clear communication of the idea.
I absolutely love this longer form content, and your editing is insanely clean as always! I had to pause so I could stop laughing out loud at the comments on the diagram usefulnesses. Great video!
transformice mentioned
@@gaugea no way
Video production is so high quality that I actually learned how a melee wavedash works
I LOVE this! We need more high level play on unconventional stages. It's so interesting to see these overlooked locales getting studied to learn the mechanics behind them, and labbed for optimal gameplay strategies.
Might as well make items legal again and throw all the rules out
@@hypotheticaltapeworm this but unironically
@@hypotheticaltapewormnot even kind of the same thing
@@nundulan Mmm, yes it is. Gimmicky stages are just as unfair as items. You can have characters sit in one spot and abuse walk-off in the same way that you can clobber someone with a thrown item. A stage hazard can wipe out a stock like a Pokéball or Assist Trophy can.
Tell me, how is it not the same?
@@hypotheticaltapeworm one is rng based and one isn't lol how do you not realize that
bro, Colonel Panic @ 4:35 is such a perfect song for this stage! love that little detail (and your graphics)
The music choice in this video was so good! Fearless Flyers fits so well with the Nintendo vibe, and I never expected to hear it in a random youtube video. So cool!
Your videos are so insanely good!!! I love the melee yt community.
Incredible video! Can't believe you only have ~30k subs. Your visual comparisons and explanations are off-the-charts exceptional!
This video was simply amazing. The editing, the delivery, the research, all of it, holy cow that was good. What a treat
9:32 the way they go for a handshake at first and then schwab just suddenly switches it up to a hug lmao
so much detail packed into this video and its still well paced, great work!
this was a great video! Im not into competitive melee (played it a ton as a kid so im very familiar with the characters and maps) but having the game and competition explained in this way really helps me understand the love the community has for this game. Also really great explanation of wavedashing, I finally get it lol
This was my favorite tournament in a long time mainly for the stage wackiness. The arwing shenanigans on corneria were particularly hilarious
Would like to see more tournaments experiment with stages. DK64 in particular could use another shot.
Brinstar with lava combos and breaking apart the stage mid combo. There's potential there too
This video is so amazing! The editing, graphics, storytelling, everything was put together with care. You did a great job!
(Side Note: Your Wavedash Diagram by Length could be better represented by spreading out the diagram more, and as you commented, increasing its overall size since it is quite small)
Brilliant video!! Very satisfying watch, and great iteration on your style from the last video.
The future is bright for Meleetube 😎
this is why I'm all for wacky rulesets, gives us some fun matches to watch! Great video
This is absolutely incredible. I spend a lot of time editing videos, and this may be favorite editing I’ve ever seen in a TH-cam video. Fantastic man
This was a fun watch! It's nice to learn about niche stages like this, it also doubles for learning more of Melee's mechanics like the low traction floors. Never knew how surprisingly faithful this stage is to F-Zero's mechanics, with the cars being able to be destroyed and whatnot. It's fun to see serious matches be played on these wackier stages :D
This is such an incredibly well-made video. Very well done:)
I just love how much fun Amsa is having in every single clip I see of him. Lovely
Can't remember the last time I was this enthralled by a video about a game. You have a really interesting and unique way of putting your videos together, I like it a lot ❤️❤️❤️
Great video! I wish we had more tournaments like this, it would be a fun 'get-away' so to say, from being overly stressed and hopefully help relax the players.
glad the devs are still giving content drops all these years later! cant wait to see what new stages they add to this game
Awesome animations and diagrams man! Also big kudos for Fearless Flyers
Thought my Spotify started up lol
Bro this video is so good. Obviously the content but also the editing, the jokes in the explainer sections (you did great bro I am commenting because you did great), the music selection... chef's kiss.
Wow, I understood this video and this video would have normally been over my head. This was video was clear, captivating and edited so well. I especially liked all the animations made on top of the video. I can’t believe how well those worked articulating concepts to me
fraser these videos are phenomenal, love the diagrams and infographics (and the music choices!!)
I love AMSA. He goes with the flow and enjoys himself in what he does. He radiates joy and that is awesome 😁
insanely well edited, keep up the great work!
The topic at hand with your striking editing really makes for a really appealing watch with this video, congrats 🎉
VERY GOOD YES
Great video! I love your visual style and editing, and honestly love the style of the prints! Any plan on making shirts or hoodies with these designs?
Edit: Also I must add, the level of effort you put into this video was nuts, honestly reminds me of the level of editing that someone like AsumSaus would employ. Melee creators really be out here putting mad effort into editing and creating entertaining videos when they could be labbing new tech smh (jk kek)
The sound design in your videos is godlike, and your narrating is so good. I would watch your videos on almost anything with this sound
Bro, the editing in your videos kicks ass. Haven't played Melee competitively since 2008, but you're gonna bring me back in with this shit.
What a wavedash graph! Gorgeous
That was a great diagram, you did great, I agree :)
Keep it up, love the videos
Just subscribed… went to check out your other vids and realized the algorithm had already fed me most of them and I hadn’t thought to subscribe yet 😅 You’re visuals are so pretty and your storytelling is goated. So looking for to more!
i like how polished this video is with visuals and examples everywhere
ASMA FOREVER!!!
That wavedash diagram is nice ;)
I love this videos editing it looks like profesional stuff you'd see on TV or something, great work!
this video is really really good, even me not knowing anything about melee i could understand everything because of how well you explain it.
as for the question you posed of why do players care, the off season 2 had a bigger prize pool than genesis and big house. almost as big as both of them combined, actually
...I like your answer better, though
LOL i should’ve ended with that
Can we just talk about how dope the guitar trophy is? Screw wanting to be the best, I’ll grind for that shit instead
this is the most entertaining vid on Melee i’ve ever seen. great work!!
Holy the lil editing details that add everything. It's so good!
Why the hell would this be a legal stage? Doesn't make any sense.
because it's f u n
@@arisumego So is a custom stage with items on 3 v Gigabowser, but that isn't tournament legal... It's not fun, its dumb.
the editing on this video is insane. great job
We are truly entering the golden age of melee video editing, among a variety of channels
This kind of thing is genuinely my favourite melee content. Please more in future!
Bro I just watched all your videos you make amazing content; both short and long formats are great.
Keep it up 😉
Incredible amount of work put into this video. Love the colour choices for the infographics
Dude awesome music selection for this video! I’m a huge fan of the fearless flyers and was super surprised when I noticed that they were in the background of this vid! Jacob Man is also a great pick! For some reason you picked out the music in my study mix!
This was just recommended to me and is the best video I've seen today. Insane quality and attention to detail, bravo
that was two videos in one perfectly melded and refined down to 10 minutes. wonderful
the production on this is a delight, really fun watch
This is a really, really good video. Editing, graphics, sound design, mixing, script, everything is really good. Seriously, well done. I'd watch a 3 hour video explaining the different shades of off-white if it were this well made
the commentary and info breakdowns are on point as usual, but god DAMN does this video have STYLE. great edits/production
I love to see an in-depth video about my favorite smash stage! And it transitioned to a great tournament story to boot!
Dope video man. Incredibly made. Also love the vulfpeck :^)
3:31 is an amazing diagram. Describes the momentum, uses different colours to clearly separate the stages, and someone spilled mustard on the ground. 10/10
Just found this channel. Impressive editing and great visuals for the explanation! I loved watching it even though I have nothing to do with Melee! :D But super interesting, got me hooked!
This content levelup. Great video, and the humor even within the explanation sections was on point
This video is absolutely amazing! Everything from the infographics to the music choice, the pacing is AMAZING, and a huge point is the super effective use of highquality b-roll of players at Off-season 2. Top tier video!
Genuinely one of the best video essays I've seen in a while (plus there's a Fearless Flyers song in it and that's enough for me to like something).
4:35 CORY WONG!
Been hearing more and more of him around on these kinds of videos and I’m loving it!
The quality of the editing from this channel might be the most impressive I have seen, genuinely. I have never felt the need to leave a compliment about the editing of a video before, yet here I am.
3:30 your diagram and the chart of all wavedashes are great and the reason I upvoted this video
great video!
I really think the addition of “funny stages” should be put into more tournaments but i could see why they wouldn’t sometimes lol
This video is so well done :)
And yes, the wavedash graphic at 3:30 is excellent!
These colorful edits are so NICE
this is amazing. great video, great editing 🔥🔥🔥
I've never heard of you but editing was amazing, great job on the diagram!
Great cinematography. 2:43 you timed Amsa grabbing his remote with the simulation of Fox recovering. Or it was total coincidence. Kudos either way
Didn't expect to hear the fearless flyers tracks in this, great video and great music! :)
That diagram was great! Especially the fact you did a unique diagram for each character
the editing in this is sooooo good🥺🥺🥺 great vid!
Ive never watched any competitive Smash but this video is well done and very informative, good job man
The wave dash diagram was one of the best ways I’ve seen the mechanic explained. You did, indeed, do a good job.
I have never played Smash Bros Melee before and I just found this video randomly but this video is amazing, I love your editing and explanations!
