Bombsoldier buttscooted so boomfan could crabwalk so Ken could stop drop and roll so falcomaster could tiptoe so m2k could walk so borp could jump up and down a little bit so plup could run so jmook could fly.
So funny how a year and a half ago we had no clue who Jmook was. Now he may be the best. Hoping the attendance is as stacked at SSC! Only because it's the only big tourney i can go to this year :)
plups pretty much ditched his girls at tournaments now :( I'm dying for his samus or shiek to be used more in top level sets. Hopefully after seeing JMook win 2 majors with shiek plup can lab her out and bring her back a bit more.
tbh I want HBox to start getting some top 4s and wins this year (He only got one top 4 at lvl up Expo so far, I think; G9 was 5th and this was 7th to an ascendant Moky), but I'm still super happy JMook and Amsa are contending up there. It's kinda hard to really put any stock into it given we're only 3 "majors" (idk if people consider the expo a major or not), but it's a mix of concern and happiness to see some of the other players starting to have their own spotlight over the regulars. Zuppy, Moky, 2Saint, etc.
@JonathanScarlet why is that concerning? New competitors breaking boundaries should always be a good thing, shouldn't it? I really don't understand what you mean.
Big shoutout to Walt for being the hype man of melee. Was great seeing you in the casting chair killing it there as well. Shoutout Ryobeat you're an absolute legend thank you for all the hard work much love and respect.
The clip at 9:10 is possibly one of my favorite sheik clips ever. Jmook out here playing duck hunt and just bullies poor Marth. I haven't laughed that hard at a Melee clip in a while.
I remember leaving feedback on a previous video and you not only acknowledged it, but corrected it in the next one. I watch every single one of these videos and the writing, editing, and visual style are all incredible and by far the most high effort content in Smash right now. Keeping this game alive my man
ok so i think jmooks circumstances actually make this true . the amount of competitive melee he playyed at a young age given how good he got before going pro is insane . so just the experience he has and the reaction time hes kept because of his age puts him at the peak in my mind . of the melee come up stories i know he really reminds me of mang0 , as far as natural talent play time and age .
@@SuperShado101 Surprisingly, M2K never did it. Even in 2007 where he definitely won the most but he always lost the next Major after he won to KDJ, Chu, PC, Ken, and Azen.
"[Llod] is far and away the best Peach player alive right now." I naively hope this reaches Armada and pushes him to play again D: Thanks for putting together another great video Walt :D
Honorable Honorable Mention: Rishi!!! Rishi beating trif and kodorin was amazing especially for an inactive player. Definitely deserved to be on the list somewhere.
AMSa, Zain, Cody, Jmook & Junebug’s DK the new gods of Melee! Love to see the new generation taking over, Mang0 & Hungrybox gotta work to keep their place nowadays, much like the old SF2 crew in SF3 (ignore the fact that Chun is top tier af and stupid)😂
he's really playing well from disadvantage nowadays instead of being a front runner who has trouble adapting like he had been for a while. but whenever mango goes away for a while he comes back strong. but I guess jmook for rn
Can “___ may legitimately be the best player in the world” be your equivalent to the twitter copypasta of “The best melee players in the world are (lists top 8 results of a tournament) and it’s not up for debate.” Because I really do think it’d have the potential to be funnier each time you use the title
I really like the video, but some of the transitions were distractingly over-edited. I think the viewing experience would be slightly better if the transitions were more minimalistic. Keep up the good work! I love the content!
Probably meant active players. Armada is retired. And it is kinda debatable since the skill level has risen so much since 2018. He's also managed to beat Hbox and Leffen with Peach, when Armada would always be forced to switch off her.
Every couple months when Walt makes one of these videos, the player he's talking about immediately starts losing. The era of jmook might be coming to an end..
I got bodied by the stomach bug :). Jmook is withot a doubt the top player going into the next event, but there is one thing that I still need to see, I need to see Jmook and Hbox face off.
Unsure if the rules were to pick random character , random stages and eventually items, that jmook would be the best player. Of course you needed a catchy title for your video, though the appreciation on who s the best for this game should only be for "who the best sheik" or "who is the best falco". But overall player i disagree. Don t wanna be à basic amsa fan though the cast is unbalanced in term of work needed for some characters to be viable (even so these character are mecanically strong). Anyways i think you get my point. Thanks for everything and all your content throughout years and cheers
M2K walked so Plup could run. Plup ran so Jmook could fly.
Ken crawled
@@ghostaccountlmao Ken played marth😅

@@ghostaccountlmao You mean captain jack
Jmook literally have perfect posture for the last 2 tourneys
It’s the source of his power
His whole career.
That could be the secret to perfect smash and players still wouldn’t do it… myself included
I don’t think ive ever seen jmook without god tier posture. Legend says he came out of his mothers womb in a perfect t-pose
Jmooks posture is immeasurable
So funny how a year and a half ago we had no clue who Jmook was. Now he may be the best. Hoping the attendance is as stacked at SSC! Only because it's the only big tourney i can go to this year :)
It’s great to see a Shiek player doing things at top level again. Plup still gets solid results, but Jmook is on a whole other level
plups pretty much ditched his girls at tournaments now :( I'm dying for his samus or shiek to be used more in top level sets. Hopefully after seeing JMook win 2 majors with shiek plup can lab her out and bring her back a bit more.
Jah ridin is an absolute beast and looks like how I imagine every Luigi player on ranked
pretty sure jah ridin would easily be seen as the #1 luigi if he had more access to Na tournaments, he is insanely good
Zuppy had an amazing run! Was a very unique tournament for sure.
that jumbo goku jointz win really put him on the map
yeah
From aMSa being the best in the latter half of '22 to Jmook being the best now. Melee's in a good spot.

@@combustiblelemon801 I agree, but I'm also an HBox fan so I'm sad when he doesn't place well.
@@JonathanScarlet Expo wasn't a major, only 2 top 10 players in attendance.
Thx for talking about Jah’ !
Reminds me when « the JV5 » was not always focused on the top 8 of the tourney covered in the video
I've been meaning to write more about people outside the top eight in my scripts lately

Yooooo great stuff like usual Walt. Thank you for including my run!

Keeping this game alive my man
The editing on this video is incredible!
Jmook earned his spot on the new gods table.
How did JMook not pop off after that set. That's insane.
You've been killing it with the content lately, another good watch :)
the in game camera work on those transitions is insane
we keep seeing better DK results, its only a matter of time my friends. monkey will rise up
the real plot developments here
The way these videos are made is amazing! Pretty freaking awesome job!!!
Love the mention to the TOs
wow the editing is so damn good man
You mentioned Hbox as a two-time Evo champion, but he only won that tournament series once in 2016. mang0 and Armada did win twice.
My favorite moment was that one time turndownforwalt commentated :)

Ken, Azen, Mang0, PPMD, Armada, Leffen, Hungrybox, Zain, and now Jmook joins the "back-to-back Major wins" club.
Does amsa count? he won a lot but idk if it's back to back
@@jongyon7192p Sadly no. He got his wins in between Mang0 and Zain winning.
no mew2king? he must have done it around 2007
@@SuperShado101 Surprisingly, M2K never did it. Even in 2007 where he definitely won the most but he always lost the next Major after he won to KDJ, Chu, PC, Ken, and Azen.
I need to see Junebug's run!
Damn I love this channel so much and Walt's voice is made for this and commentating
You truly are the best melee journalist right now
Jmook is hot AND super good at sheik, it's so unfair for the rest of us
Workout regularly, eat healthy, get good sleep and practice melee consistently and you too can be hot and good at melee 😂
@@diegomo1413 But I like hot cheetos, not taking a shower, and hate touching grass
"[Llod] is far and away the best Peach player alive right now." I naively hope this reaches Armada and pushes him to play again D:
Thanks for putting together another great video Walt :D
got the stomache bug, too, but in the Philippines lol. loperamide saved me tho.
Aklo and hungrybox had NEVER played in person before this?? Wow that’s surprising
Junebug’s quickly become one of my favourite players. So smart and satisfying to watch
Honorable Honorable Mention: Rishi!!! Rishi beating trif and kodorin was amazing especially for an inactive player. Definitely deserved to be on the list somewhere.
I definitely thought about adding him to my script. There were SO many people I wanted to add to the HMs
hes definitely showcasing greatness
Amazing videos as always. Keep it up!
Aklos one of my new favorite smashers 😤
Y’all really didn’t think of JMyth? It’s all good you’re off the hook this time
i love zain
2:40 caught me so offguard
Im mooking
❤❤❤❤
Melee content
18th from a first round pools loss is crazyyyy
maybe it's bc he never fails the posture check
JMook stole my girl! Please give her back!
Thanks!
JumboGokuJointz and BigVegetaBluntz, name a more iconic duo. I'll wait
Jmook 3-0 in gf and then reverse 3-0 in tf was a treat to see
is NO ONE going to talk about how chroma09 PAYED tdfw to be the last voice in jmooks victory clip. he’s aiming for the crown by ANY and ALL means.
paid*
bro imagine getting spellchecked by the man himself
I love your content Walt!!!!!!
Objectively speaking , June bug is the best Overall player in the world

Also, calling Hungrybox "The two-time EVO champion?" Are we really counting EVO 2019 lol
one and a half-time Evo champion
@@swagguy7515 True...
@@swagguy7515 nah that side event was equivalent to a local
Let it be known that most people didn't even know Jmook 12 months ago from today.

Jmook season baby
I had legit no idea melee was in collision. Was too taken by ultimate
At this point the JV in your series The JV5 may as well stand for Jmook Victory
Fun fact: Zuppy is also the best Guitar Hero player in the melee community
Does anyone know what that song at the start it called?
I love jah
top tier videos
Amazing!!!!
2:40 he has a error, Hungrybox just won one Evo. I think? May be stupid?
my life goal is to get on the JV5
"Llod is the best Peach player alive right now." oh no what happened to Armada?

Doesn't hbox only have one evo win? Idk if 2019 counts

i agree
idk why but calling Llod "the best peach player alive right now" makes it seem like Armada died LMFAOO
Jlend
Walt, Hbox is a one time evo champ 🤓
zuppy got rocked by zain and jmook
Hbox is a 2 time evo champion?
He won evo 2019s melee side event which had hbox as the only top level entrant which is why most people don't count it

@@Windraesa I'm not sure he does either.
Nop, nvm
No I didn't get your point lmao
No kola?
Zain has a choking issue
i cannot wait until the glorious day that a top player (preferably leffen) unironically says sheik is the best character in the game
Dude won two tournaments without playing his bracket demon, the melee community has 0 chill
Hbox isn’t a two time evo champion
Llod was the midtier gate keeper
Just how many "best players in the world" are there?
He is overatted and currently the only Shiek player , thats all it is
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved
Jmook being the best isn't a hot take and it's def worth talking about. On the other side Zain still being called #1 is a total joke lately.
2 time evo champion hungrybox
