No dude I think m2k just messed up or was expecting a tech roll in, IBDW could had just shilded that fsmash so it was just an unsafe hail Mary thing to do but it turned out so nice tho
@@darnek117 No I'm 99% sure that was a read on iBDW's attempt to crouch cancel. If he was expecting a tech roll in he likely would've just dashdanced out of Fox's getup attack range and reacted to it instead of emptyhopping, plus Fox can get a lot more off of CCing a Marth fsmash at that percent (shine>upsmash, upthrow>upair, you name it). He _could've_ just shielded it but M2K made it seem like he would go for another grab after the emptyhop.
16:57 M2K realized iBDW was gonna CC the aerial he was going to throw out, so he just empty lands last second and mixes him up with Fsmash. The rest is just classic M2K. Legend.
i was so surprised that third up air connected and then he follows up with back air back air. m2k our here with punish game innovations all over the place even in 2019
I still think this set is better. Maybe if Mango/Zain went to last stock. By the time Mango got Zain on his last stock I knew the tournament was over, though.
I loooooove when you see those veteran top players flip THAT switch. Hbox does it a ton, but in Ultimate MKLeo built his career on it. Just that moment when all of a sudden a player decides to win. Man.
11:45 is so textbook, so safe, honestly the perfect option and god it’s just infinitely incredible seeing M2K at that genuinely “most optimal” Phenomenal
Never gets old seeing M2K clutching it out like this. It's as good as someone hitting a grand slam with the last out or a buzzer beater 3 to seal the series. So good
m2k is hands down my favorite smash player of all time. Right now the community is in limbo. One thing this community has had more than any other gaming community is character. I don’t mean that in a “these players have better character,” but that we got to know the gods, and the other players at the top and throughout the ranks. We felt these guys were our friends. A lot of that feeling has been shattered as of late; however, Jason is pure. He’s a god of the game, but he’s also the heart and soul. This community is not dead. The person that threw the false allegations against this man out there should be ashamed of themselves. Especially for making Jason have to respond the way he did. It makes me sad and angry. Those players we looked up to that have been terrible people, and have done shitty things, sure, they deserve it, but m2k did not. If we lose m2k, the entire smash community will die. For now, we have the king, we will be stronger than ever
I started playing smash when ultimate came out and didn't understand why melee is so popular but after watching this and the smash brothers documentary I love this game. Too bad I have no way to obtain it :(
Also ask around your regional community if there's any place hosting Smash events of any kind. Facebook and the Smashcords are the best places to look online.
I almost clicked off this video cuz M2K was playing kinda rough at the beginning and I didn't want to see him lose like that. I'm glad I stayed though, good job M2K
M2K may be known for abusing ledge but at the end there on his last stock you could really see M2K using his time to think and cool down which helped him to make that comeback both waiting on the angel platform and on the ledge while he was at 90% Take your time.
It's funny, Jason was in the exact same position as Genesis. He bet it all on that dair which was his undoing against Trif and thanks to him taking this risk and it paying off, he'd go on to beat his next opponent (and uh, let's just say that him beating this person is a tall order) Dude can clutch it out when he needs to and I hope it gives him more confidence in the future
im old school and have been following m2k for years bro. I know about the new guys like zain and ibdw and moky and stuff. I always knew m2k could hold up tho. I'm from the era of the 5 gods. Only m2k, mang0 and hbox are standing.
M2K was born on the ledge
molded by it
Didn't see center stage until he was already a man
kinley locklear 😂😂😂😂
M2K gave birth to the ledge
@@kinleylocklear7841 but by then, it was nothing to him but wobbling
To whoever said that set in florida was the best set ever: they were sadly mistaken
THIS ISN'T EVEN GRAND FINALS SON?
I’m laughing my ass off
Then grand finals happened.. 🤯
OLE! OLE!
@@il100374 we really are repeating history
16:56
M2K empty hops so that iBDW can't crouch cancel his aerial, then opts to forward smash for the mixup into the set ending combo. So smart.
its called a tomahawk
I noticed that too. So damn smart, esp saving it for the last stock.
No dude I think m2k just messed up or was expecting a tech roll in, IBDW could had just shilded that fsmash so it was just an unsafe hail Mary thing to do but it turned out so nice tho

@@Sapreme just the usual last stock tomahawk fsmash mixup at the ledge, how did iBMW fall for that, amirite?
Young kid gets destroyed by 30 year old young kid.
One day you will be that old you going to stop doing the things you love
@@rachelhighfill6754 What if he loves playing Bingo?
@@NickGore-rf2dd who doesn’t love playing bingo
M2k was 31 and Cody was 25 here lol
Mew2king might be a little out of practice, but as a wise man once said, “all foxes combo the same.” That was indeed a throwback
16:57

THE KING HAS RETURNED
Old School vs. New School
2005 vs. 2015
Truly, a battle for the ages.
Good stuff to both players.
Notice how empty the crowd was at the beginning and how packed it got in the end of the set
Nutty
The KID and the KING
someone told me that the ultimate scene on the other side of the room caught wind that M2K was actually doing it and they swarmed.
@@katiieeardley Good thing that the Ultimate crowd knew to watch the King
Will forever be a M2K fan
Same
to heaven, hell, and back baby
5:04 look at how IBDW's reaction syncs up perfectly with the in game audience. Shit had me giggling lmao
Lol just saw that
Every set in this tournament is so good lmao
Love this plot armor run. The man is a god. Dont ever forget it.
16:58 I can't believe that dair connected.
Zsaber Maverick it did cause IDBW was at the perfect percent and he already used his second jump, that’s why m2k went for it
@@cuarta6 he was barely a pixel off from getting the bad hitbox, which wouldn't of killed. That's why he doesn't pop off immediately
Never underestimate marths hitboxes.
i thought he would get the bad hitbox for sure
Lol
Bad hitbox
m2k: "you merely adopted the ledge...i was born on it...molded by it"
lets fkin go jason
Shut the fuck up small fry
You merely adopted the ledge, I gave birth to it
that empty hop to fsmash was genius. Only m2k could pull that off.
As dope as the ending stock on game 5 was i have an appreciation for this combo as well. 1:25
i was so surprised that third up air connected and then he follows up with back air back air. m2k our here with punish game innovations all over the place even in 2019
SAME
That first bair to set up to the 2nd bair just amazing
12:17 Yooo what a zero-to-death, straight to the combo folder!
"OW!"
That hug at the end
Best set of 2019 FREE.
But then the set against HBOX xD
@@vladislavl.5103 tbh all his sets this tournament have been so hype
Axe Wizzy GFs at summit were really good too.
and then mango zain happened
I still think this set is better. Maybe if Mango/Zain went to last stock. By the time Mango got Zain on his last stock I knew the tournament was over, though.
Love the sportsmanship from iBDW 17:02
The crowd went absolutely wild after this set. M2K collapsed on the TV. It was the hypest moment I've ever witnessed.
I love that nobody was watching at first, halfway through there are a bunch of new people, and by the end it's fucking wild.
I loooooove when you see those veteran top players flip THAT switch. Hbox does it a ton, but in Ultimate MKLeo built his career on it. Just that moment when all of a sudden a player decides to win. Man.
ibdw being a good sport at the end was nice too. You can see the respect between the players
This fires me up like you can not believe
11:43 got grabbed by M2k at the ledge at 0%? Guess I'll die
That hug/handshake/"good job, man" was some top-tier humanity.
DOUBLE DEDEDE GAME 5 TO TOP OFF AMAZING SET
15:44 for all my DeDeDe-watchers out there
someone send this to PC Chris!
11:45 is so textbook, so safe, honestly the perfect option and god it’s just infinitely incredible seeing M2K at that genuinely “most optimal”
Phenomenal
This set is the reason why SSBM will forever be my favorite game
Let's appreciate M2k's slight DI back to avoid iBDW's shine which ultimately led to the reverse kill @16:35
this tournament had so many hype sets but this has to be my personal favorite
M2K played godlike! GJ to both fantastic players!
Funny that Chillin has been witnessing this for over a decade
The dunk had me pop off too
And now M2K is helping teach IBDW shiek so he can beat Zain. I love Melee
Awesome set. iBW is insane... And respect to him for after the set
Sportsmanship from Cody is incredible. Hug and a handshake, much respect and clearly some admiration.
Hooooooooooly crap the clutchest end what the hell
Never gets old seeing M2K clutching it out like this. It's as good as someone hitting a grand slam with the last out or a buzzer beater 3 to seal the series. So good
Best Melee tourney of the year. Wish we could have an Axe or AmSa in there, but some of the best sets I've seen. Big House always delivers
Jason pls never ever quit melee again
Holy sht... that all or nothing ending.

Says so much about how good iBDW has gotten these last couple of months. Really exciting set. :)
the ending was fucking mindblowing
This m2k guy isn't the best but I see potential in this up an coming marth
That was an incredible come back from m2k.
Just as incredible was the show of respect and sportsmanship from IBDW.
This is why I love melee
He’s still got it👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
His name is literally legendary. One of the five gods for a reason.
as an ultimate sheik player, i gagged when i saw that grab range at 2:15
Why would you play both sheik and ultimate? Are you a double masochist or something lmao
I started playing smash when ultimate came out and didn't understand why melee is so popular but after watching this and the smash brothers documentary I love this game. Too bad I have no way to obtain it :(
Emulation across the nation
@@johntopping2728 yeah I tried dolphin emulator and it was garbage on my mac
@@Spencizzle1 bummer dude, maybe you could drop by your local tournament scene. Entry is usually around 5$ and you can meet some cool people
Also ask around your regional community if there's any place hosting Smash events of any kind. Facebook and the Smashcords are the best places to look online.
The sincerity is too much, these guys are masters of their craft
One of the best crowd reactions of all time
Unreal set. What an ending!
I almost clicked off this video cuz M2K was playing kinda rough at the beginning and I didn't want to see him lose like that. I'm glad I stayed though, good job M2K
They look like father and son
I Be Dropping Wins
Respect to IBW. Hug and a handshake. Classy.
M2K may be known for abusing ledge but at the end there on his last stock you could really see M2K using his time to think and cool down which helped him to make that comeback both waiting on the angel platform and on the ledge while he was at 90%
Take your time.
The king!!!!!!
So that m2k first stock was just beautiful.
It's funny, Jason was in the exact same position as Genesis. He bet it all on that dair which was his undoing against Trif and thanks to him taking this risk and it paying off, he'd go on to beat his next opponent (and uh, let's just say that him beating this person is a tall order)
Dude can clutch it out when he needs to and I hope it gives him more confidence in the future
Melee in 2019. Lovin' it
Forever the sickest
Love the IBDW respect at the end. This fool knows what M2K was doing for the game when he was a baby.
Such a good set
You can tell that M2K isn’t in full practice but with his experience and muscle memory of this game he’s still one of the best
awesome comeback last stock of game 5
12:15 Double 0-to-death by m2K
why is the best player in my region not signed yet? Sponsor this man already
12:47 when you realize that it wasn't what it looked like in the videos
. i can see his frustration, m2k is incredible ,he is entertainer.
Jason is a legend
HOLY SHIT WHY WOULD HE GO FOR THE KEN COMBO AND HOW DID HE HIT IT RETURN OF THE KING BABY
11:46 whomps! Looks like we are back in 09 3 hit gimp lol. That was the M2k
What a god dam finish
La inspiración de toda una generación M2K THE GOAT🐐
HOLY FUCK THE ENDING
IBDW plays a very basic fox with extremely good fundamentals and is very consistent. Its probably how he got so good so quickly.
Hoooooly fuck, melee is beautiful M2K more like ballsy2k! That last stock was SICK! Big happy for M2K and his hopeful comeback in the scene
THE FUCKING KING BABY
So sick
M2K IS HYPE!!!!
16:03 the moment a God Remembers he is a God
This was insane
I want to see a TAS remake of how that last stock would have played out
Good set. Good sports about it. All you can ask for.
mad respect for IBDW
king back
that come back lol GOD level
im old school and have been following m2k for years bro. I know about the new guys like zain and ibdw and moky and stuff. I always knew m2k could hold up tho. I'm from the era of the 5 gods. Only m2k, mang0 and hbox are standing.
m2k took that last stock within 10 seconds after engaging
Comeback2King
Damn he put it all on that last edgeguard
He has risen
Such an exciting set! Mew2King channelling his inner god after the ru sty first two games!
5:50

LETS GOOOOOO
Take me back
