Jacob Harms na chillin idk why his match with leffen even happened I predicted 5-0 but I didn't predict the memes and level of leffen bm lolol back in the day it was more or less: ken, azen, chudat (then sprinkle in pc chris, kdj, isai) man I miss the old days youd see some Japanese players and American players and wouldn't know faces (for anyone even ken) ust names and everyone is all over the place hypothetical matchups like aniki vs anther or some random thing lolll, never knew who was combo video good or real good like even up until armada it was like dang this armada guy is good, then wait wut he won it all again and again then yooooo whos this Dr peepee lmao what is that name
It seems like as time has gone on with the internet, and ease of sharing stuff, and big tournaments all being recorded, none of that mystery is there anymore, just at local levels; the "old days" kinda seem to remind me of what it would look like if you took a modern, small local scene and just increased it in scale.
Chu dat definitely has a better legacy than Isai (in singles at least) and Korean DJ, I don't see why he wasn't given his own episode on the documentary.
Choice Specs Elton John cuz most of his prime time was him purposely losing or sand bagging to ken. As interesting as that is, I don't think it's worth it to make a whole episode about that.
When I think Chudat, those S@X troll moments are what come to mind more than all his amazing accomplishments, honestly. And that's why I love the guy. He's a clown with insane skills.
MultishineGod Chudat and Ken lived together because Chu was dating Kens sister. Had Chu been winning and getting the prize money, they would have likely kicked him out of the house because he wasn't supporting them as much as Ken was.
Coodles Parks but I feel like chadat plays and invented the version of the character that people don't hate - lots of non-wobbling hand-offs, desyncs, and a sick sopo
As much as I wanna agree with the OP on playing a disliked character, I'm gonna agree with boezou here, he's one of, if not is, the most entertaining IC's player to watch, and was (I think) once, or still is, the best Sopo. I literally cannot watch any other IC's other than Chudat's, because he's so fun to watch compared to Fly Amanita, Wobbles, and Nintendude. But Coodles isn't wrong, IC's in general have a very negative reputation due to the Wobble being discovered, and used extensively in competitive.
The only popular videos on TH-cam of Chudat are of him being a troll with Kirby or doubles with Chillindude. I've seen other videos of him but you have to dig to find them.
Love Chudat, one of my favorites. I'm actually glad he got as much coverage as he did in the Doc, hell I learned more about him than players with their own episodes.
This is totally an awesome vid. I was absolutely enlightened on the history of smash and, more importantly, the respect tjat veterans have for this guy!
Tafo do you really think Ken was actually better than Chu or do you think Chu was throwing the whole time since he was dating Ken's sister? It's been a while since I've seen the documentary but I feel like that's presented as a strong possibility and is fun to speculate about
You can probably say he played in 13 different spans of a year. But from the start of his carreer "officially" starting to now, it's 12. So yes and no.
Whenever I see Chu at big tournaments, I expect him to get at laest top 32, if not top 16. Definitely a fan. Hopefully one day he'll win a stacked major.
maybe should've mentioned the wins on hbox, mew2king and not doing much else in 2012 was debatably enough give him 9th in a yearly ranking as smash history would have me believe.
speaking of Fly, would love to see an episode on him. He seemed to be a very skilled player who took games from other notable players, but then kind of disappeared.
I'm not sure how Samox went about planning the people in the doc, but I'd say maybe he didn't give Chu an episode because of Azen? I'm not sure Samox could've missed Chu's dominance over M2K/KDJ in MLG era. That being said, because Azen and Chu were in the same crew, maybe Samox decided he didn't want to add more than one member of the same crew? Because Chillin (in the doc, and afterwards when talking about it) said after Azen, was always Chu.
If I'm remember the documentary correctly, didn't Chudat move in with Ken at one point, and thus train with him a lot? I think this improved his tourney results (though I'm not 100% sure on that; it's in the documentary), but if Ken wasn't around this wouldn't have happened. Also, wasn't Chudat still outclassed by Azen?
In his viewing of the doc on his stream, Chillin said that Chudat could have finished first at a lot of events but was pressured to let Ken win due to their close relationship. If that's true, that's pretty crazy.
honestly believe Chudat deserved an episode on the doc!
honestly believe PM deserved to live for that Nintendo sponsor which is long gone!
GimR: The VG Scientist lol Gimr and that Chudat bias
Honestly believe the smashbox should be banned!
GimR's Lab shut the fuck up PM killer
ya know he would have if he tried against ken he was pushed into a tight corner because of his doubts
My buddy named his cat Chudat so he is very well appreciated in our Melee household.
Should have been Chucat =(
But can your cat desync?
He's ChuDat and he's Chu good!
Raimakusa 👏👏
YAYUUUUUUUHZ
He should have had his own episode. It's a shame his peak was during Ken's peak, as you said. He could arguably have been #1 during that time.
I thought chillin was 2nd around that time. (doc kid here btw)
+Jacob Harms his only good win was Ken tbh
Jacob Harms na chillin idk why his match with leffen even happened I predicted 5-0 but I didn't predict the memes and level of leffen bm lolol
back in the day it was more or less: ken, azen, chudat (then sprinkle in pc chris, kdj, isai)
man I miss the old days youd see some Japanese players and American players and wouldn't know faces (for anyone even ken) ust names and everyone is all over the place hypothetical matchups like aniki vs anther or some random thing lolll, never knew who was combo
video good or real good like even up until armada it was like dang this armada guy is good, then wait wut he won it all again and again then yooooo whos this Dr peepee lmao what is that name
It seems like as time has gone on with the internet, and ease of sharing stuff, and big tournaments all being recorded, none of that mystery is there anymore, just at local levels; the "old days" kinda seem to remind me of what it would look like if you took a modern, small local scene and just increased it in scale.
This man needed an episode during the Smash Doc, it would have been so good.
Dapuffdaddy 69 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wrong Code ?
the chudat hugs match is easily in my top 5 smash moments
Remember when Chudat made all those raunchy blogs about his sex life on AllisBrawl? Pepperidge farms remembers.
AkashiXI the legendary chu dat chronicles lol
"I twirled her azz hair with my finger like you would twirl spaghetti with a fork" one of the best lines ever
If Chu is not in the top 20 this year you know something is wrong.
Chu dat definitely has a better legacy than Isai (in singles at least) and Korean DJ, I don't see why he wasn't given his own episode on the documentary.
Choice Specs Elton John cuz most of his prime time was him purposely losing or sand bagging to ken. As interesting as that is, I don't think it's worth it to make a whole episode about that.
well isai sandbagged his entire career to everyone in singles.
Armada didn't get an episode, and yet you're complaining about ChuDat.
Not true at all. Armada has been a top player since 2009.
Andrew Ricklefs he was a top player but he wasn't as dominant as the others
YAYUZZZZZZZ
I approve of Yahoo for this. 10/10
But he also did the kirby thing
When I think Chudat, those S@X troll moments are what come to mind more than all his amazing accomplishments, honestly. And that's why I love the guy. He's a clown with insane skills.
You forgot the Chu Dat chronicles .
they r fake
Lol no they are not fake
So happy the Melee videos are getting more views that some other content on Yahoo esports.
"Right Chu?"
Happy bday Chu!!! You're definitely one of my top 3 favorite melee players
Anyone watching this after seeing Chu get 2nd at Dreamhack Austin? xD He's back baby
Chudat also was prominent in Brawl and PM while also being prominent in Melee
Thomas Anderson grupomena
ChutDat is a legend and you Tafo are a legend for doing this video!
Never though I'd see Melee in an advertisement
_ Dodo _ Holy Crap, I just realized that this video has 100k views. This is big.
Chu woulda beat ken if he wasn't scared of being kicked out of his house lmao, thats literally what it was
fdh terter wait what? Explain
MultishineGod Chudat and Ken lived together because Chu was dating Kens sister. Had Chu been winning and getting the prize money, they would have likely kicked him out of the house because he wasn't supporting them as much as Ken was.
This video is more relevant now than ever
almost as if he plays a character that a lot of people don't like
Coodles Parks but I feel like chadat plays and invented the version of the character that people don't hate - lots of non-wobbling hand-offs, desyncs, and a sick sopo
living in ken's shadow defintely was a factor too
As much as I wanna agree with the OP on playing a disliked character, I'm gonna agree with boezou here, he's one of, if not is, the most entertaining IC's player to watch, and was (I think) once, or still is, the best Sopo. I literally cannot watch any other IC's other than Chudat's, because he's so fun to watch compared to Fly Amanita, Wobbles, and Nintendude.
But Coodles isn't wrong, IC's in general have a very negative reputation due to the Wobble being discovered, and used extensively in competitive.
In one of the first match clips they show (Chudat vs Hugs), he is wobbling Hugs (~ 0:28).
write this man a script geez
T1J he's clearly reading a script off a prompt, He's just an awkward guy
He definitely doesn't need a script, I think Tafokints has a slight stammer or speech tick of some kind
chu is the best ics
Ik zit in deze aflevering :D
ö
Y-Y-Y-Y-YAYUZZZZ
Chad Warden aqap baby
I vote a second series of the documentary...I'm sure everyone will pay towards it. We need Armada, Chudat, Wobbles, PP and Hbox at least.
Well you kinda got what you wanted with Metagame haha
The only popular videos on TH-cam of Chudat are of him being a troll with Kirby or doubles with Chillindude. I've seen other videos of him but you have to dig to find them.
I like how this episode came out and then now everyone puts Chu in top 10.
Really interesting stuff! I did know that Chudat was at least top5 in his peak, but this really gave me perspective🤔
More like Top 2.
Love Chudat, one of my favorites. I'm actually glad he got as much coverage as he did in the Doc, hell I learned more about him than players with their own episodes.
This is totally an awesome vid. I was absolutely enlightened on the history of smash and, more importantly, the respect tjat veterans have for this guy!
Tafo should do a top 15 player ranking for the first 15 years of Smash.
or, 15 years of Melee I should say.
Tafo do you really think Ken was actually better than Chu or do you think Chu was throwing the whole time since he was dating Ken's sister? It's been a while since I've seen the documentary but I feel like that's presented as a strong possibility and is fun to speculate about
This is hilarious. I was about to ask this question, scrolled down to do so, and noticed I'd already asked it. LOL
you just had a conversation with yourself and, with your apparent memory, probably forgot about having it.
The Chudat Chronicles
They can still add more episodes to the Smash Documentary if they wanted, like a Chudat one and an Armada one.
2:43 "Been playing since 2004 and still is in 2016, that is 13 years." Nicely done Tafo
You can probably say he played in 13 different spans of a year. But from the start of his carreer "officially" starting to now, it's 12. So yes and no.
Tywann 2016 is almost over. It is 13 years of playing.
Tywann Let's count: 1) 2004 2)2005 3) 2006 4)2007 5) 2008 6) 2009 7) 2010 8) 2011 9) 2012 10) 2013 11) 2014 12) 2015 13) 2016 So yeah 13 years.
I love this song
I'm glad this video was made. Chu is probably my favorite player.
After smash summit spring 2017, the point of chudat being underrated has never been more true.
Chudat Chronicles Kreygasm
gamarad KappaPride
Wobbling that's why
Tafo was born with +0 charisma
Syntax! that's a form of charisma
Everything got so technical in Melee that the Oldschool Stuff works again ;)
I really enjoy Chu`s Playstyle and he is hilarious
respect your elders.
Chudat is a boss and makes some insane upsets
[insert hand wave motion here]
DONT EVER FORGET THAT CHUDAT FOUR STOCKED MANGO CHU CHU CHU CHU YEYYYYUHHZZZZZZZZ!
MH tag doesn't lie. I never forgot or neglected him.
This video was the hardest read
fuuuck never thought about it this way, he's right
"alltime great"- 0:27
Wobbles...
Hard to say now, his results have been slipping up since 5 Gods.
Wobbling is perfectly fine though...
I hope one day Chu Dat will one day make a "Chu Dat Chronicles movie" to get more attention for his Biweeklies.
he did commentary to the entire smash doc if you're interested
LOOK AT MY BOY NOW!!
I'm so glad this was made
I feel like Chu doesn't get the recognition he deserves because of stigma around Ice Climbers and wobbling to forward throw
Best Sopo ever!
I have sooooo much respect for that dude. he's so cool
Whenever I see Chu at big tournaments, I expect him to get at laest top 32, if not top 16. Definitely a fan. Hopefully one day he'll win a stacked major.
maybe should've mentioned the wins on hbox, mew2king and not doing much else in 2012 was debatably enough give him 9th in a yearly ranking as smash history would have me believe.
He even said in the doc that he was afraid to beat Ken because he was afraid he would be outcasted by the west coast players.
Chudat is awesome. Usually I struggle to like ics players but chu i have always thought was amazing
speaking of Fly, would love to see an episode on him. He seemed to be a very skilled player who took games from other notable players, but then kind of disappeared.
I'm not sure how Samox went about planning the people in the doc, but I'd say maybe he didn't give Chu an episode because of Azen?
I'm not sure Samox could've missed Chu's dominance over M2K/KDJ in MLG era. That being said, because Azen and Chu were in the same crew, maybe Samox decided he didn't want to add more than one member of the same crew? Because Chillin (in the doc, and afterwards when talking about it) said after Azen, was always Chu.
YAYUZZZZZ SUP CREWDAT
FINALLY! chudat is a legend!
talla
As much as I love Tafo, seeing him look to the right over and over is seriously off putting.
he gotta check his notes
I thought he was going to say "I know you know the ChuDat Chronicles" lmao.
If the number 1 player played ics melee would have died in 2007 lmao
Same with Puff. Armada's barely keeping the light side of the force in control.
+Dylan Minichiello no it wouldn't have. Wobbling wasn't even popularized until wobbles did it at evo 2013, ICs in 07 looked cool.
Andrew Ricklefs Is melee dying right now as hbox is #1?
what the hell since when does tafo have a channel?!
yayy-yuzzz
I love these
*FINALLY MY BOI GETS SOME RECOGNITION!*
Yeah I can see how he's underrated, I've been following Melee scene actively for ½ years, but never even seen this name ;_;
you weren't following that actively
IRON1I7 Well mostly TH-cam, it has never suggested me anything about chudat :(
Well, I haven't heard anything about chudat either in th last 1/2 year.
then watch more live tournaments, highlights are not everything. Chu was at Heir 3 for example but his presence was not that great this year
Trickster Key I've been watching tournaments, really.
If I'm remember the documentary correctly, didn't Chudat move in with Ken at one point, and thus train with him a lot? I think this improved his tourney results (though I'm not 100% sure on that; it's in the documentary), but if Ken wasn't around this wouldn't have happened. Also, wasn't Chudat still outclassed by Azen?
What are you looking at over there Tafokints?
Maybe samox is taking so long to come out with METAGAME because he wants chu for the final episode
top 8 at summit 2017 too! He's so underrated even now.
In his viewing of the doc on his stream, Chillin said that Chudat could have finished first at a lot of events but was pressured to let Ken win due to their close relationship. If that's true, that's pretty crazy.
Couldn't agree more!! Chu is fuckin amazing!!
i whoopedu hugs86
What do you keep looking at over there?!
6:10 ''Raichu''
your welcome.
great series
AND HE BEAT MANGO AT SUMMIT
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
one of the best demi-gods of old
Chu was easily top 3 in 05-07, right after ken started to slow down. Some argue he was even the undisputed best.
But why didn't Chudat say YAYUHZ at the end tho???
Chu's sub group should be called the ChuChu Train lmao
It's CrewDat!
I'm aware. maybe if he does a sub train thing he can use it then. I just like the play on words
Chu should've had his own episode on the doc. Probably should've replaced KDJ
What do you get if you throw a stone at Axe? 6:10
Ken's the armada of his time
I love chu
"Playing sense 2004, to 2016. That's 13 years"....................
Antonio C. If you count the fact that he played in 2004, that is 13 years of playing.
Finally someone say it!
This is especially awesome after Dreamhack
Chudat is a legend
Chudat chronicles
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Why I got him to sign my controller+
What happened to Fly Amanita?
