I keep getting comments that this aged poorly but I just need to let you know that I will win in the long run
was abt to say man pulled out ice climbers lmao
i really think his ics is a super one trick pony that wont stick around, jmook/leffen are just demonic level sheiks in the marth mu
if I had a nickel for every dominant red Marth whose tag was just their first name, I'd have two nickels
Wait... That's his real name? Crimson Blur???
@@unstablepc5913 No that's actually just Crimson when he came to his first tournament he had chosen "Blur" as his tag, but when asked for his name he said "Crimson uhhh Blur" so the TO put Crimson Blur down.
Which isn't a lot. But it's weird that it's happened twice
Never thought about it like that. Ken and Zain, damn
Sephiroth?
It's interesting that both Axe's and Hbox's well known loss to Marth prior to Zain was PPU. Definitely an underrated singles player
He was definitely known more when he played. For marth players he really was the proto-zain pushing tech skill and advanced techs (shield stopping was a big thing he pioneered) Its really only after loong inactivity that newer players don't know about PPU
He was always known during the era he played. He was always considered super technical and innovative, but his his neutral and adaptation in the longer games always had him losing to the gods except for rare occasions where they couldn't deal with some new tech he implemented in his game. However once they adapted to it, business went back to the usual unfortunately for him.
M2K and PP were the only ones with the strong enough neutral to actually win sets against the gods with Marth, and neither of them wanted to use Marth for his bad matchups when they both played other characters. Even Pewpewu eventually picked up a fox secondary for some matchups, other Marths picked up a Sheik, etc, because why play an even or losing matchup when you can play a winning one with your secondary/co-main?
They were all also playing on Vanilla, which is significantly worse for Marth than anyone else because of the dashback and more inconsistent pivots which he needs in his gameplan especially in these non-spacie matchups.
@@Saskaruto16 Yeah people forget how big a difference UCF makes and controller mods and whatnot. Plus at top level in anything doing something statistically worse doesn't make much sense long term.
@@cjkmelee Yeah like how Larry Lurr was the Fox to do it, then came Light who pushed the Fox meta for Ultimate and Smash 4.
PPU is still a hall of famer for real
@@cjkmelee seeing people not know how dominant a force he was in norcal is crazy, he was my favorite player to watch for years and years. i miss u kevin.
One major factor that never really gets brought up here is Vanilla vs UCF; the fact it buffed Marth the most by far, and that those buffs specifically helped him in these non-spacie matchups. Zain is amazing no doubt, but the entire reason M2K and PPMD didn't play Marth in those matchups was that in a game with inconsistent dashbacks and pivots, you can't play the way Zain does, especially against those characters, without incredible risk. M2K already had his Fox/Sheik, PP had his Falco. So unless they felt Marth had a better matchup they didn't use him as he just wasn't worth the risk of inconsistency losing them a games/sets when they had options that didn't get hurt by bad hardware to even close to the same degree in these matchups.
i'ma pika main who obv was inspired by axe but i couldn't help but cheer for zain at shine 2022 when he finally beat axe because it was so inspirational to see a solo marth main finally overcome their char's biggest demon 🙂
bro i was like the only person in that venue cheering for zain vs axe lmao. All my friends kept giving my absolutely devilish looks
Well you can’t really blame them, Walgreens drake all the way!
Never realized how determined Zain was, this video made me respect him all the more
I used to go to the same locals as Zain at Virginia Tech and the news of him beating plup at bh6 blew our fucking minds. From sweeping our locals and being sponsored by a now out of business local gaming lounge to being number one feels unreal
Really glad to see PewPewU getting the credit he deserves. He actually brought a lot of Marth's newer tech to the spotlight before Zain did, but Zain was the first to perfect it as his current level.
I've been waiting for a good content creator to talk about this for SO LONG!
Tysm.
It literally can't be understated how much Zain has done for Marth. And you put it perfectly
Been watching your videos for a while now, and your content is getting better and better, but this video is special. Well done, love what you're doing!
This is your best video yet man. Great narrative and clean/easy stats to back it all up. Good shit
your videos make melee look beautiful to someone who knows nothing about it
I think the dash grab aspect of the hbox matchup really oversells zain. That was very very established tech at the time that every Marth had been using for years.
Great video bro. Keep up this amazing research and work. It shows.
Great vid, made me realize even more how legendary Zain is
lovely video. Love the positivity and loved watching zains rise in real time
As a huge Zain fan I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best videos I've ever seen! Gonna binge your other videos and looking forward to future ones!
I love your content thank you for uploading I appreciate your hard work
Love your analyses. See you on the next one 😊
Zain’s progress year by year is amazing
Ty for making this video on one of my fav players
thank you already for the first minute of the video. Idk man marth vs samus for example or also marth vs peach is sometimes really hard, but I cant say it openly cuz everyone says "marths broken haha, what you talking about. Youre not allowed to whine"
Zain, Jmook, Hbox, aMSa and Axe are my favorite players in Melee because all of them broke the walls and limits of their characters with an own style and way of improvement.
Hbox went through a nightmare number of Fox gauntlets literally beating them so hard in an losing MU that many were convinced that Puff should be banned while being the best player in the world against Falco and Sheik of all time.
Axe's rise to the top as the first real Mid Tier threat ever since Hugs, his dominace over Marth and his road to the summit after years of heartbreak in 2019 is probally the most inspirational story in Melee-
-Is what i would say if there wasn't a red yoshi bit by bit rising to the top until he turned from a Top 50ish international player into the number 2 player in the world defining Yoshi as the only top player ever in every MU and making them look doable somehow.
Zain and Jmook are really parallel to each other in a lot of ways like their tourney win drought for a year only to become the best player in the world after winning Genesis and their sudden bursts onto the larger scenes when they got capeable of travelling.
Zain and Jmook are both probally the most high level players we ever got till this point besides mang0, Armada and Hbox and stand as the defining players of their eras for Zain the doc kids and for Jmook Slippi.
All of these players broke through barriers and are the only ones able to play on this top 10 level woth their characters turning a small roster of viable characters into this gigantic crossover of possibillities.
Last Top 11 concisted out of Marth, Fox, Falco, Puff, Sheik, Peach, Icies, Pikachu and Yoshi not even counting the possibillity of Cap being robbed of the chance bc Wizzy suffered from sickness.
Armada is the goat mate, no shot you said Mango is a higher level than a dude who has a winning h2h vs everyone he played, including prime Mango.
@@timmasters1195 i don't remember asking let alone talking about this milked playground debate.
@@timmasters1195 i just told you to screw off with that milked out goat debate because i've never once mentioned anything about it in my comment yet you're obsessing over it as if i insulted your boyfriend.
@@rannynihilius8481 ah, so someone asked you to write out a long-winded mess about JMook, Yoshi and Melee before made your first comment? Hush now.
@@timmasters1195 what first comment tho?
I only wrote a little love letter on why our best solo mains are my favorites to watch under a video about Zain's success as a solo main.
All i see is you being a massive weirdo about a done to death argument that just doesn't matter and wastes my time even tho i did not even mention anything about the debate in this comment.
great vid and editing
Wait so actually Marth players always jump cancel grab and risk missing a crouching Jigglypuff? I never knew he could grab her dash or standing. That’s so weird
(Competent) Marth players almost exclusively boost grab against Jigglypuff
I play Marth in Ultimate but this is super inspiring to watch. Seeing Zain take Marth all the way when nobody else would is exactly what I should do in Ultimate.
Kinda insane that you didn't mention UCF. The really notable thing about pre-UCF melee here is that pivots don't work on controllers with PODE. This means that the controllers that all of the top players had to use to be able to dashback consistently were incapable of performing this tech. UCF gives controllers emulated PODE that doesn't prevent pivots, which makes pivot heavy combo routes possible where they were otherwise not. This is the main reason for the change in the puff matchup. Zain didn't invent any of the tech. The non-jc grab is a kadano tech and there had been flowcharts for those grab combos years prior to UCF. It was never implemented because dashback was more important
The modern era needs to be hyped up, don't bother the guy with facts that don't fit the narrative
And yesterday he beat Jmook with solo marth. My goat 🫡
When I hear Marth, I immediately think Zain or Ken.
One thing about crouching puff dodging grabs is that she undulates on the ground and you have to grab her when she is high. On the low part of crouch the dash grab will miss.
def my favorite melee channel and not even 5k subs what
Great video
Axe winning 69 - 0 against Marth in a decade. What a run !
Zain picked up IC’s for Jmook lol
Did he really tho? :)
6:13 I know that song from Custom Robo, I loved that game
Absolutely GOATED thumbnail
Edit: 3:03 Chllin 🥹
I called Zain becoming the best player in the world to AADS in like 2017
So he plays his main like a true character specialist by studying the matchups
I still remember when zain was playing with chillindude. He’s come a long way.
****ICE CLIMBERS****
S+ tier thumbnail!
Another certified classic
I remember tryna get good at this game in high school and seeing him use pivot technique is crazy, isn't it a frame perfect action?
Zain said on stream he’s picking up an IC’s to counterpick jmook on certain stages - interesting to see how that plays out if it comes to fruition
So funny that you end the video with "Zain will never pick up a secondary" right before Zain starts playing Ice Climbers.
Sometime you miss
@@ChalerYTBut you didn’t this time ;)
8:42 blurring out the moon is so dumb
The conclusion of this video is funny considering recent events
tbf he did say the icies are on the bench for now cause they feel "dirty" so im still right for now!
@@ChalerYTYou were still right since he stick to Marth to beat Jmook. I feel like he got really good in the MU. If only he learns how to beat Amsa again
YOOO THE PMD MUSIC
what is the music at the end of the video its driving me crazy
6:22 I NEVER KNEW THIS
Great vid!!
rip zain, we will miss you.
The pmd music got me cheesing
Melee content in 2023 dang. I like it
The last statement aged like fine milk
You understand Marth 100% I would not be surprised if you mained him
I knew that Zain would beat Plup. Not because Zain is so good (he is). But because Plup is weak to Marth and jumps too much in that MU. Sheiks air-to-ground conversions are really good against Fox / Falco so I can see where that habit was formed, but Sheik has to stay grounded against Marth. Jmook and Leffen are much better at not being in the air in neutral against Marth.
Plup too Freestyle for his own good
Hard disagree. First of all (SS6)most of the time when Zain got a grab it was when Plup was on the ground. In fact Zain was going in the air at bad times more than Plup.Plup was getting grabs or stuffing Zain the way he was trying check Plup with his drift back fairs and closeup landing fairs and Plup was ready to catch him in the beginning, and in instances trying to up air plup when standing uptilt wouldve sufficed. The big thing about that set was how Zain was ready for the ways Plup was crossing center stage and him countering Plups patience with his own. Theres a decent bit in this set that could’ve swung the set either way. Also what? air to ground conversions are super good against marth too. And anyways he was trying to pop zain off the ground not catch him on the ground with aerials into something which actually he didnt a lot or really get to.
Great video but this got outdated real quick with him picking up ICs LOL
We don't know, Zain picking up ICs for Jmook might end up like Cody picking up Sheik for Zain. This means he might talk about it, but in the end still return to his main
@@damana1000You guessed it right
Marni's theme, nice
I've been saying that Marth was great for Jigglypuff for years. I'm glad Zain finally turned up.
Not to be too nitpicky, and I may even just remember wrong, but wasn't dash grabbing vs puff already very common before Zain?
can i ask for the music that starts at 1:08?
Can’t believe this wasn’t about Branspeed smh my head
That custom robo music
anyone remember the name of the japanese marth main player who is actually a top player in japan that amsa talked about in an interview a few days ago? i want to see that marth in action
I imagine you are talking about ingen he played at scuffed world tour most recently for a big profile event
Theres was Rudolph a couple years ago if Ingen was not the one
zain is the name of a video game character I created.
Melee is so interesting and cool but by god I would never want to seriously touch that game
zain WH OMEGALULed the 5 gods era
insane it took zain less than half the time to cement himself into melee history compared to m2k
M2k started playing 2005 with fox and was best in the world with an entirely different character by the end of 07
marth stan
hes switching to ICs vs Sheik LMAO
This guy took both Marth AND Roy far.
Don'tTestHim
Whats the song at 5:36?
Song at ~9 minutes?
This video would be so much better if you didn't stand in front of it all the time.
You're adding the disadvantage of an in-person presentation to an online video. Good job.
Whats the first song that played??
Balrog's Theme - Sexy Trunks [HD REMIX]
Can someone tell me wich song is being used in 4:45 ? Thanks
Driftvail city - Pokemon Black & White
@@TheBjmac7Thank you so much
Reminds me of hbox
tldr; zain is pretty alright i guess
Someone know the name of the song in 3:27 ??
Jr. Street from Mario Hoops 3on3
he didn't tho, he's just aggressive marth but optimal.
Ice Climbers
How did hbox do that 2:23 he glidin
bro wavelanded irl
Marth didn't struggle really. PPMD and Ken both won a lot, the issue was M2K. Same for Sheik, the character was underrated based on a dude who had choking issues.
Ken won in a time where people weren’t as good. PPMD was using Falco for most MU + M2K was using Sheik for Marth’s bad MU. Really no one was developing Marth aside from PewPewU during the god era despite having two gods playing him
@@TheBeggies95 cool, but my point is that M2K had the winning problem, not Marth. The character has always been top tier and tournament viable, from Ken to today.
I also think Armada was a big problem for the character, and him retiring may have changed the grand finals landscape
Zain Train CHOO CHOO
Wow tho aged so poorly 😂😂
Great vid tho!!
Thumbnail look like will smith
boring

Congrats you're the best at a dead grandpa game
