@@AlexRoseGamesnah he got read pretty nicely by Mekk on game 2. Game 4 was a flub by mango, but it was still anyone's game. Can't take away from Mekk performance here.
Yooo Mekk good shit king, absolutely insane to see his ganon do stuff his falcon probably couldnt, its truly inspiring, what a beacon of grit and willpower for the community
Mango is one of the only Falco's I see that actually approach Ganon like a man instead of lazer camping and crossing up with d-air on shield and running away
@@Themonkeymartin the falcon guy is a decent commentator and lets everyone get their shot since he roots for the second-tier characters, but the other commentator was just flabbergasted the entire time going "HE PLAYS GANON???" How can anyone balk at a player playing the character that vibes with them after Amsa proved tier lists don't mean shit?
I've been watching Mekk's streams for a while now and - even though Mang0 is a long-time top 5 fav player of mine - KNEW that Mekk could take this game. After his Lucky match, I was ready to never watch him again. I like the Wizzys rather than the Westballzs. Started watching Mekk, and he has become one of my top 5 players. This set was great proof that he is almost there. If I had to put $500 on the line, I'd guess he is going to reach Slug-level success, but with Ganon.
just in the first stock there were like 3 or 4 moments that almost every bird wouldve been clipped by and got gannoned on, mango too clean. no disrespect to mekk he's nasty
I dont remember what caster said it but having mained gannon for like 6 months he really is a put the fear of god in you character edit: also just add a note for the matchup you do get your jump after down b but for some reason if you get hit out of the animation by falco laser you can only upb after even if you didn't jump before
Kinda annoying to hear the hard read dair suicide referred to as a "flub". Mang0 was clearly looking to end the match with a flourish or simply didn't give a fuck knowing he still had another game to play with.
announcers being amazed that ganondorf gets fans going... you guys do realize that the vast majority of us get bored of just fox and falco, right? Ganondorf is sick like falcon, only he hits even HARDER. He's the coolest character.
Yeah ganon is actually what got me and many ppl I know into melee. Bizzaro flame at Apex 2015 was, and still is, some of the most hype melee gameplay of all time
@@dumithegreat3892 Oh wait you're totally right! Nobody ever criticizes people who play those other characters eith.... oh wait. Nah this community trashes on anyone who isn't playing on fox or falco. captain falcon gets a pass because he's fun to watch, but the rest of the roster is seen as less exciting.
I think this is a good showcase of why you need a strong mental. Mekk was doing some impressive shit the entire set but once he realized that he got Mang0 to a game 5 he tanked. The pressure of that situation was simply too much and thats where Mang0 goes crazy
He’s not struggling. He’s just back to his post-peak level. Yoshi is simply too flawed to consistently win stacked majors and supermajors over time. His rivals renewed their labbing of the matchup and now there’s little amsa can do about it except play at his very best and hope they have an off day.
mango going down a dark path rn. He plays like somebody that definitely has the underlying skill, but is being held back by something (*cough* substance abuse)
@Walrus931 that isn't relevant to my response. You stated that you "didn't think mekk had a chance for a second" and I explained that is a common phenomenon for Ganondorf.
Imagine how high Mekk could be placing if he still played falcon Saddest melee rise and fall story imo Imagine kodorin switching to Roy after consistently placing top 8
Mekk didnt place top 8 at a major last year with Falcon. His best placement was 9th, which he got at this tournament. His placements havent changed changing to a much worse character - in theory hes raising his floor much higher.
@@iwannabethekid34xclol this is the worst take ever. it's not "gamers on the internet" that gave ganon shitty frame data. a ganon is never winning a major. ever. maybe some online meme tournament one day with a couple top 20 players present, but every ganon on earth has a precisely 0% chance of beating 2+ top 10 players and taking a tournament. you have no understanding of this game
I love watching mang but is it just me or does he get the most lucky af brackets since Tipped Off 😅? Besides beating aMSa i can't really remember anyone who wasn't a Fox main that cleaned up for him and has a horrible h2h against him. But who cares man Melee needs this hype button once in a while even if Zain will probably crush our dreams again.
honestly bring coaching back. No one told mekk mango was always rolling away and no punish. F-air was always met with a falco dair or laser............
insane that a ganon was one game away from getting winner's side top 8 at a supermajor in 2023
He got the Leffen side of it and Polish got upset. If you look at the path it was pretty much a stomp up till mango since leff DQ’d

Anyone know why Jmook wasn't at this tournament? Seems weird he'd miss a supermajor.
Mekk showed great adaptations but this matchup still looks so uneven
Yeah it's bad, but not as bad as Fox/sheik or even falcon.
Commentators slobbering over mango all set is always so annoying lol

Mango wrecked him in the first game but the Ganondorf player still fought!
10:05 That's what you call the Mango.
hugs such an underrated commentator.
these two honestly might’ve been better than either duo on top 8. it is of course apples to oranges to compare pre-top-8 comms to top 8 comms
partly it’s because jorge’s energy can be jarring and walt radiates self-anxiety
That suicide dair by mango has me worried about tomorrow. Looks like he will probably just call it in
You called it
Bro mango was just so annoyed 😂😂 he did NOT want to be there at all
Someone explain the push-ups at the end plz

yo this kid is pretty good at smash
why did mekk switch from falcon to ganon?
Sick
6 months ago: A donkey Kong 2-0's leffen's fox and a Ganon wins two against Mango's falco????? WHAT????????????????????????????????

Why were they counting to 15? 🙂
Mekk is famous for doing pushups after a set. He was off-cam this time, but if you look at any other video with him in it, you'll see.

bro got lucky with matchups
never seen such a dominating 3-2. mang0 had control the entire time. didn’t think mekk had a chance for a second even though he was playing very well.
It never looks like Ganon has a chance against certain top tiers. He basically takes stocks by turning what seems like nothing into something.
