Man, it started out looking so good for the contenders - buzzer beating toph. Then after the first category, toph has cool lead and the others are in the negatives. Toph definitely had to actually try during this but it was definitely a "you haven't even seen my true power yet" moment.
I love how the arc of Melee Jeopardy on this channel has gone from "who's going to win" to "is Toph going to win again" to "is there anyone that can possibly stop Toph"
@@shawnkochevar8104 asumsaus would have no chance, a good chunk of the questions are knowing random obscure players, which obviously toph as a commentator who has commented a lot of random ass matches in his life will be way more familiar with than the vast majority of people, and a good chunk of the rest are knowing tournaments that toph was usually attending and commentating at Toph's biggest problem is he has so much knowledge he finds it hard to narrow down his vast wealth of information to the relevant piece (like remembering 9 tournaments of the same series and forgetting which one was which number). asumsaus makes cool videos but glitches and easter eggs is the only category he would stand a chance vs toph in. he would lose anything to do with players, sets, tournaments, probably would also lose moves, frame data, riddles axe can probably compete with toph when it comes to knowledge of the game itself, but he is unlikely to know the random small events and low ranked players like toph does. I think actually to find someone who can compete against toph you should be looking for a wildcard commentator like jakespeare who gets the pools commentary slot rather than top level so they're more familiar with the more obscure players
@@AlexRoseGames I like the idea! I just think it would Make for a great colab, and maybe give a chance by using categories outside of specific players and event. They’ve had some in game categories before but having most of the board have those could be interesting imo, but I’m also a pleb when it comes to melee lore and names. I just watch cool videos online 🤷♂️
honestly, they should've brought tough guests on but made the board easy. instead toph was the only one who could keep points in the hellscape of their design
I actually can't believe no one knew that HBox's famous fainting popoff was vs Ginger Like that was what ALL of the top players were making fun of him for. In barely a year since his last #1 ranking (this was February 2021), he fell so far that he popped off like an absolute madman against Ginger, a player who was barely breaking into contention for top 10.
that one and training mode tuesdays with morrie were the only two that they missed and I knew, so I appreciate their forgetfulness, but I was really surprised they didn't get it as well
if you've been in the scene for as many years as those 3, hungrybox doing some classic hungrybox shit is just another day in the office. the context for it gets blurred into the background, it just becomes "oh yeah that was the time he rolled around on the floor" "that was the time he punched a crt" "that was the time he injured his arm" "the time he fainted or maybe pretended to faint on stream"
Reading the final jeopardy question: “how is this the final question it’s too easy, only one won player won Melee at EVO 2016. Answers same answer as Blur and Tafo.” Hearing the answer: “Trickery was afloat and I only watch Smash at EVO so I wouldn’t have ever known that answer in my life.”
@@tanjay8507 I can only assume the correct answer won a different event at EVO that year but also plays Melee. Just an assumption because I only watch Smash when it comes to EVO.
My first thought when hearing You Know My Name was Look Up The Number so I was absolutely shocked when that actually was the next category. That's a deep cut
Bruh how in the world did toph get the final trick question right? I was thinking it was going to be ken or something to throw people off but no, you did THAT.
The video unfortunately spent no time explaining the reasoning behind the correct answer to the final jeopardy question. However, you have to know it's not Hbox (people would know if Druggedfox took a set off Hbox in 2011). This means it has to be somebody who won one of the other 8 main games at Evo 2016. Now, the next thought might be it's the person who won Smash 4 that year. However, that person has never played Melee to my knowledge, and does not reside anywhere near Druggedfox. (Additionally, knowing who that person is, it would be unlikely that they would be the answer to a question on melee jeopardy in the year 2022.) This is where the Phoenix Wright brain-blast moment needs to happen. The question doesn't say the set in 2011 was in Melee, which means *it was in a different game*. ("Almost Christmas" means it wasn't Christmas!) At this point, if you're up on your Druggedfox facts, you would know that he has played multiple traditional fighting games. But moreso than that, there is a known set on youtube of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 from 2011 , where Druggedfox beats somebody who would soon go on to become the most-dominant player in MvC3 for much of its lifespan, including winning an Evo title for it in 2016: NyChrisG Here is the VOD of the set in question: th-cam.com/video/uAp2ADFZSmU/w-d-xo.html
@@margotphoenix1 Personally, my mind went right to ken because ken came back to chill around that time (while being rusty and having an outdated play style) and ken did win evo 2007.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon You misread the final jeopardy question, in that case. It says "This 2016 Evo Champion", and I'm fairly certain Ken didn't win Pokkén or Mortal Kombat X.
@@margotphoenix1 I was gonna say, I didn't know ChrisG played ever Melee, but it makes more sense if it was the other way around now that I think about it.

@@Creammm69 mango would sit there like "why the fuck would I know what up B is called I just press the button nerds". armada and leffen as well probably wouldn't be familiar with all these low level US players and random US locals. m2k actually has a decent chance but he tends to obsess on stuff he really cares about, I don't think that means he necessarily has a huge knowledge of things he isn't interested and e.g. the pop culture references
Next Melee Jeopardy needs to have a category that requires players to identify Melee techs and perform them. Have the first answer be "what is a drillshine?"
Blur is one of those people that something about him just bugs me right away. Not sure what. But he has this punchable vibe. But I actually love him. One of my favorite people in the community.
I can not respect a strategy more than what blur did. That man is gonna have a 5 digit score no matter what happened. Maybe positive, maybe negative. How knows?
*Before watching video* oh no, the title says "raid boss" theres gonna be a raid shadow legends advertisement. *After the video* I've been DECEIVED! BY MY OWN MIND!
ngl i got every anagram right i feel like the players (or at least Tafo and Blur) didnt realize that the anagram part was only the part after the colon
Blur is definitely one of the Jeopardy players I've ever seen
he played to win
He is truly someone playing a game.
tbf he might actually just be the worst, gotta love him
He was a contestant.
"we've brought on two melee community geniuses and invented a special board to try to dethrone Toph"
Blur, minutes later: "I have negative thirty-two thousand dollars"
Blur getting the TV question is beautiful
and he got it wrong too...
Blur getting his own clip wrong is the saddest thing ever
Also the most Blur thing ever
No, the saddest thing is seeing your vintage CRT get slapped by Hbox.
That shit was hilarious what you mean
how does he see the game so differently
Petition to have an episode of Meler Jeopardy in which it's Toph vs. The other 2 contestants' combined score.
We are gonna need to make it Toph v. 3 other players combined scores. This is getting out of hand. Lol
This is the way
agreed
I mean, -32,400 + 1 is -32,399...
Or make it Toph and Blur's combined score vs the other contestant.
Man, it started out looking so good for the contenders - buzzer beating toph. Then after the first category, toph has cool lead and the others are in the negatives. Toph definitely had to actually try during this but it was definitely a "you haven't even seen my true power yet" moment.

This one was so close, I was on the edge of my seat!
It doesn’t matter who is playing. When it comes to melee jeopardy Toph is a god amongst men
The only way to have someone beat Toph is to make the trivia EASIER, because he's got such deep knowledge and the playing field would be more even.
What about Asumsaus and Axe, they both have crazy game knowledge and might be able to combined beat toph
Asumsaus is only knowledgeable in specific game engine quirks and most likely wouldn’t do that well in results based questions
@@NathanRose-in4ky but they could do a few categories on that stuff they normally don’t
@@shawnkochevar8104 asumsaus would have no chance, a good chunk of the questions are knowing random obscure players, which obviously toph as a commentator who has commented a lot of random ass matches in his life will be way more familiar with than the vast majority of people, and a good chunk of the rest are knowing tournaments that toph was usually attending and commentating at
Toph's biggest problem is he has so much knowledge he finds it hard to narrow down his vast wealth of information to the relevant piece (like remembering 9 tournaments of the same series and forgetting which one was which number). asumsaus makes cool videos but glitches and easter eggs is the only category he would stand a chance vs toph in. he would lose anything to do with players, sets, tournaments, probably would also lose moves, frame data, riddles

Melee Jeopardy is peak content, great work GG Melee! Categories and questions were so good!!
@Toph Long live the king.
HOW THE FUCK DID THEY NOT KNOW THE HBOX FAINTING CLIP
22:38 “40 Year Old Virgin is Drew Barrymore”
You’re thinking of 50 First Dates, Toph.
Damn 8:10 made me go back and watch that moment. I hope that kid learned a lesson from that, insane behavior
That clip is a lesson in how to go from unknown to hated by an entire community in a week
He died and it was just a joke in the first place lol. Check Zain’s video playing him at Zain’s first recorded tourney
The real way to bring toph down is to take a page out of jeopardy’s book and make the boards super easy so that everyone is as smart as him, and then just hope people can click faster
I forget, has upsets been a category in the past? If not it would be pretty good saying which pro player lost to them at which tourney.
all I know is the answer is not armada
why does blur’s camera quality and setup in front of a blank wall make him look like a POW
Toph should have to guess every round and always bet maximum for daily doubles as handicaps.
I love this. Toph is a god. There probably isn't a single person in the melee scene that could beat him.
Dude I think mang0, armada, m2k, leffen have a good chance at beating Toph. These guys have CRAZY good memory
Nah, they may be good at the game and memorizing tech and tournament standings, but as far as overall knowledge in melee toph is on his own level.
@@Creammm69 mango would sit there like "why the fuck would I know what up B is called I just press the button nerds". armada and leffen as well probably wouldn't be familiar with all these low level US players and random US locals. m2k actually has a decent chance but he tends to obsess on stuff he really cares about, I don't think that means he necessarily has a huge knowledge of things he isn't interested and e.g. the pop culture references

could have made it yourself by now

Toph is a trivia titan
love the confidence of 22:38 "the 40 year old virgin is drew Barrymore" hahaha what r u talking about toph
Gotta pull the actual Jeopardy move to dethrone Toph, and make the board too easy for everyone.
The Hbox pop off category was what we needed
I felt like a 5Head for getting Training Mode Tuesdays with Morrie, Melee stats guys are something else.
I thought blur would do well but he got so wrecked 😂😂😂
Captions call Hungrybox Angry Rocks lmao
23:40 “ill wager $2,000. A true daily double” wrong toph, a true daily double is everything you have which would have been $11,400.
God-tier thumbnail
“I’ll wager 2000, a true daily double” no, Toph! A *true* daily double is when you wager it all like Blur said!
Blur was mad after Tafo got the first question right.. crumbly mentality LOL
GG best esports org, thank you for supporting melee
"the 40 year old virgin's drew barrymore" - toph 2022
Babe wake up new melee Jeopardy dropped
Can nobody stop the universal solider????
Toph with zero chill in this Jeopardy game is peak content. No homie stocks, no mercy, no remorse.
im watching this a year late but got both the Frozen turnip glitch AND UCF in anagrams i feel like the goat
This should be good
Of course it is. It’s GG Melee
Hyperfloats are subfloats so blur got that question at the end right technically
DAILY DOUBLE!
18:41
13:16 best frame of the vid
Toph is impresive
What a fire thumbnail lmao
Blur is one of those people that something about him just bugs me right away. Not sure what. But he has this punchable vibe. But I actually love him. One of my favorite people in the community.
Return of Jeopardy!! Love this game so much.
i’m just staring at how good the “R” blur wrote looks. that’s a good lookin “R”
This is Peak Blur ™
How does Blur see the game so differently?
I don’t think I’d win, but I’d make toph sweat in this game.
@GG Melee put Rocksteady on
Idk if I’m just unwell but the fuckin clash in the background music sounds like a glass breaking. Lmaoo
Toph should be on actual jeopardy
Blur lost because he kept answering questions he didn't know the answer to, but he was my winner
I mean I feel like he also lost because he also didn't answer very many questions that he knew the answer to
Luigi's Down B always starts charged in slippi tho
Im really surprised they all got Ginger at ECF wrong lmao
Every member of Allston Melee vs Toph and it's only trivia from their own videos
I would COOK these dudes at Melee Jeopardy.... Except maybe Toph haha 😅
Goated thumbnail, give the editor a raise
Real moky fans knew characters by pr for 2000 shoutouts to mono
@8:35 Toph is literally 1 frame faster then Blur here
What is "Far and away" lmaooo
bro Toph is insane, I wanna see some top players on this show like Hbox or IBDW or Plup!
this was such a funny episode toph the goat
LMAOOOOOOOOO you know my name for $1000 was godlike
Maybe we need other commentators to take on Toph.

I'm surprised blur didn't remember the tournament where hungrybox slapped the sh$t out of his CRT haha
I think the only one left who could stop toph is GRsmash lmao
get armada on this shit - that man is a melee encyclopedia
toph absolute legend
The blur eye never lies
The peaches accept hyperfloat as the correct answer for subfloat
Honestly i really think you should put the “Melee Jeopardy: Masters Edition” from the thumbnail in the video title too, because it sounds sick.
luigi's downb starts charged on slippi not uncharged
Doesn't that depend on port priority, stage, and character matchup? Asum Saus has some video on Luigi which talks about that.
