P.S. Is he a Steelers fan? I remember in one tourney one of his spectators had a Roethlisberger jersey, of course, that says nothing about Abate himself.
For a run that just barely breached top 8, I really think that this could qualify for the top 20 or so most iconic runs of all time. A "low tier" character making such big waves basically out of nowhere was pretty unprecedented at the time, and especially his set against S2J was an instant classic. Always a fun tournament to come back to
Abate it probably my favorite Smasher. Not only is he insanely good with a mid-tier character, but he just seems like a really cool, charming guy. His matches are my favorite to watch.
I've watched this multiple times. Truely an amazing story and the editing is some of the best i've seen. Shout out to Abate and all the low-tier heros, you're part of the reason this game still thrives.
Abate should've won that match against Shroomed... the Azendash hurts to watch. The skill gap from Sheik to Luigi is so insane, Abate should get an award for his tech skill, man.
+SenecystRemarks if you watch abate in the moments leading up to the downsmash into S2Js shield, an option he never chose before, you can clearly see he meant to use this glitch. and i think it is no coincidence he waited for last stock to lure the flashiest falcon main into a suicide stock.
I keep coming back to this highlight video because I love Abate, but I always think that, about the match vs S2J, after the stomp, even if the glitch didn't happened, S2J didn't leave a chance to comeback, he went so low although the dair is a meteor cancel
This was probably the best put together combo video i've seen from melee. We've come pretty far with the quality over the years! Good job to whoever made this! btw what was the music used?
"I'm Mad."
-S2J
+RaidONE @S2JFALCON
the fact that he can beat axe, duck, and s2j AND bring mangos fox to last stock while playing Luigi is crazy
it’s not that he brung his fox to last stock, it’s that he did it 3 fucking times in a row.
Dang, this was insanely well-edited! Kudos! Good job. :)
Hello alpharad
HEY LOIS ITS ALPHARAD, ALPHERAD LOIS
hey jacob
Thanks for Sharing
Hi jacob
There are too many things to love about this guy, his character, his style, his luck, his ability to summon jank, it always entertains.
P.S. Is he a Steelers fan? I remember in one tourney one of his spectators had a Roethlisberger jersey, of course, that says nothing about Abate himself.
That tweet from Johnny is so legendary.
what did he say? I searched it but i cant find it.
Oh nevermind I saw at the end of the video.
This is why S2J doesn't trust his edgeguarding
For a run that just barely breached top 8, I really think that this could qualify for the top 20 or so most iconic runs of all time. A "low tier" character making such big waves basically out of nowhere was pretty unprecedented at the time, and especially his set against S2J was an instant classic. Always a fun tournament to come back to
We need a salty suite of S2J vs Abate NOW
LET'S GO!
This video is incredibly underrated...Everyone needs to see this well made video.
agreed, the quality of it is similar to the smash documentary. maybe better
I wouldn't say better. Similar definitely, still very good.
Making mang0 look like the final boss. Intimidating.
Notice how most crazy mid tier players begin with the letter A:
Amsa
Abate
Axe
Avalancer
ay rookie
Armada beat hbox with kid link
Armada count
and A Rookie too. these people are mid tier porn stars at this point.
Even two years ago, calling Axe mid tier is poop.
It's such a shame that he stopped attending tournaments. I think he could push the character even further in today's meta.
Always come back to this vid. Every time every day
I hope people in this event and that witnessed this live cherished this moment. Melee will never be like this again.
I always come back to this video to rewatch the intro, the editting is so sick man
Seven years later. An age I miss, but melee marches forward!
ya boy Abate said he's gonna be more active in 2017. LET'S GO ABATE
I always come back and watch this, I really hope Abate knows how awesome and important his Big House run is and I hope he’s doing well.
This is the best smash montage/video I've ever seen. Great editing, fitting music, awesome story, 10/10
I come here about once a week to watch this amazingness. Thank you for this amazing video.
I find myself coming back to see this video to see abate play. It's just something about it, makes Luigi look GOOD
Yo this is prob the best combo video I've seen
It's pretty hype
Great work bud
Abate it probably my favorite Smasher. Not only is he insanely good with a mid-tier character, but he just seems like a really cool, charming guy. His matches are my favorite to watch.
I've watched this multiple times. Truely an amazing story and the editing is some of the best i've seen. Shout out to Abate and all the low-tier heros, you're part of the reason this game still thrives.
I love how chaotic Luigi's movement is. You have to really know how the player manuevers to fight him.
amazing editing
This is the first time mang0 wasn't the people's champ...
For real! I wanted Abate to win so bad lol
Yeah I wasn’t cheering for him that game, I know it’s a tournament and all but double shine off stage is zzzz poor low tiers
@@rezanators Luigi is mid
Great Ab8 m8
10/10 best comment, much original, would read again 👌🏼
I r8 8/8
One of my favourite e-sports moment across many different games.
I still think this is one of the most impressive Melee videos and most hype Melee videos to this day
That was some amazing production quality. Like seriously, fantastic job guys.
Insane run, mad editing skillz. The Mang0 introduction was so epic !
Great video gg well played.
Love how the music changes when Abate is taking on a new person. It's like fighting a harder boss.
Even to this day this is still hype as hell
A credit to Luigi fans everywhere.
"Falcon might be bad... but s2j is very good"
-Abate, 2016
Shoutouts to abate tho, love me some scoopa sauce lol
Love seeing luigi doing that well! :D
THIS WAS AMAZING! both Abate's legendary run and this such well made video
I'm a bit late on the hype train, but this was so well made, and awesome. Thanks for making this!
It's official.
Abate is my favorite Melee player.
What a great quality video starring #1 on the looks list. And my God, that Mang0 intro was *so* COOL!
Keep up the great work!
when you downsmash a shield then jump instantly afterward it puts a meteor safety jacket on luigi. hidden tech yall. you're welcome.
yo dude great job editing this video! You just got a new sub.
This is a Masterpiece
I miss him
Abate should've won that match against Shroomed... the Azendash hurts to watch. The skill gap from Sheik to Luigi is so insane, Abate should get an award for his tech skill, man.
No one "should've won" Shroomed won.
+Jackson Steal S2J should've won
Zachary Ocenar rip s2j
what even happened? was the game just really that defiant, and wouldn't let luigi lose?
+SenecystRemarks jesus took the wheel
+SenecystRemarks if you watch abate in the moments leading up to the downsmash into S2Js shield, an option he never chose before, you can clearly see he meant to use this glitch. and i think it is no coincidence he waited for last stock to lure the flashiest falcon main into a suicide stock.
This video was as creative as Abate's play
Luigi is the funnest character to watch in melee, so much beautiful jank and mindgames
Very well edited, nice work!
I love this video, the transition into the mango set was hype af and I'm not even a mango fan.
I swear Luigi is so Goddamn fun to watch!
Exciting stuff, hope to see more good play from abate in future tournaments
i love the music change when it goes to the match with mango
where has this guy been??? i've been dying to see him in tourney again
Taking a short break.
+Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart abate is usually on breaks, but hey he is a busy man
that's why everytime he comes back hype comes back even stronger
Steven Mega Sandwich let's get hype
ABATE
Abate still play?
THIS VIDEO IS LEGENDARY JUST LIKE ABATE
Probably the best Luigi the world has ever seen
I love how you made it so that you couldn't see the percentage in that last stock situation Abate had vs Shroomed
I want to be just like Abate someday. He's one of the main reasons why I got into comp Melee. (Him and HungryBox)
abate seems like such a nice dude
This is still one of my favorite moments in Smash Bros history.
It actually looked like he could have won it all
Too bad Abate couldn't make it to TBH6...
I dunno why he couldn't, he was at MOAL.
Low tier....? ok
If you're not high tier, you're low tier.
+Lucas Blomgren no man
+Zach Sly are you hax$?
+Zach Sly Top*
+Zach Sly lol no
A true tale of triumph and tragedy
If I ever see Abate, I'm going to ask him to sign my Luigi picture.
A great tournament for luigi was that one SSC or SSS eddy mexiko won... It was amazing :D
Amazing video! Keep it up
lmao the johnny chin scratch gets me every time 2:05
I keep coming back to this highlight video because I love Abate, but I always think that, about the match vs S2J, after the stomp, even if the glitch didn't happened, S2J didn't leave a chance to comeback, he went so low although the dair is a meteor cancel
Amazing video skills. You need to be making more! and docos :)
2015, the good days, where the invisible ceiling glitch was obscure
Damn Luigi's jankiness. But abate makes him look so fun to play.
The meteor cancel that wasn’t a meteor cancel may have just been the misfire hit box clanking with the stomp. Or it was a phantom.
Anyone else notice at 7:45 ish how happy Westballz was about that Shoryuken? x3
Abate 1 - 0 The Big House
Abate looks like his main.
i can see it now
"The Brothers of Smash: The Show"
Luigi be like "Come at me, I'm mid-tier!"
idk what it is but something about Abate makes me wanna root for him more often. that Abate Hype!
Im proud to have someone like abate represent my region Pittsburgh
Really would like this not to be the pinnacle for Abate. He could a place at least a couple spots higher...
*"DUDE ABATE IS RUNNING AWAY WITH THIS"*
Holy shit, you made mang0 look so cool
3:31 Is that the bowser guy M2K almost JV5'd ?
back then when no one knew what an invisible celling glitch was
This was probably the best put together combo video i've seen from melee. We've come pretty far with the quality over the years! Good job to whoever made this! btw what was the music used?
the video that's pretty amazing and songs to.. man how can i ear the last song or even buy it i thank you so much if you can do that :D
The dude is luigi he laughs at the end like ill be back yahoo!!
Abate is my favorite smasher, hands down.
Great editing
Song Names?
+TheFirG I just updated the Description. Go to show more and they should all be there.
GREAT montage!!!
Yo amazing video man!
And now Plup (who doesn't even main Luigi) gets top 5 at CEO Dreamland using only Luigi.
i believe abate planned to get johnny's suicide stock at the end of game 5.
PHANTOM HIT! when s2j stomped abate
it was ICG, not a phantom
I want a rematch for Abate and Shroomed
Only after watching this video for the 10th time, 2 years later, do I realise Abate is wearing a Dracula shirt and not a Steven Seagal shirt.
Amazing vid!
awesome video
