The scriptwriter was amazing in this one, making him win the series he debuted in, what a tourney man. Both Melee and Ultimate amazing sets all around.
Homemade waffles needs to shut up with his dry ass commentating Genesis just keep toph and Bobby in commentating grands waffles where is the excitement
Tastes of Armada's come-up. Appeared with a bang out of nowhere for most of the community at his first Genesis, had to suffer through a year of coming up just short, to then finally take his first Super Major in dominating fashion at the next Genesis.
@@wettuna1769 dude his sheik doesn’t even move as fast as plup’s but the way he reads movement and follows up on combos makes him so agile. Also helps that his defense and ability to punish from a defensive position is second to none. I like his chances this year
@@rat4992 Ya he just hits so much harder than plup especially that day Cody and moky wrecked plup and Jmook owned them Jmook still mad fast but he doesn’t need as much apm when he’s just following things up correctly
@@chadwicktouchdown im sorry If I got ur ass hurt so bad, I sure can see it from here lol. Funny when people reply, so cmon do it again! Be a good girl
Another historic Melee tournament in the books. Jmook taking home both his first major win and also the first solo Sheik main major win at the same time! I'm very proud of him and what he has accomplished for the character!
This 4-man booth had some of the best Melee commentary ever. Informative and entertaining, and very little of guys trying to talk over one another. Awesome work.
after years of no solo Sheiks winning a super major I had begun to lose faith, but after seeing Jmook's 2022 I knew he had to be the one to finally do it. Great stuff by Jmook, his punish game on Fox is ridiculous.
I legit teared up a bit when they said that he quit Starbucks for this. I quit Starbucks and only became a bartender, but this man just took Genesis 9 as his first super major. Fucking incredible job Jmook, that was an absolute treat to watch.
genesis 9 melee was legendary. jmook wins at the tourney he broke out at last year at genesis 8 and proves that solo sheik can do it in the 2023 melee meta :)
Genesis is the tournament of Firsts. Armada's First SuperMajor, Plup's First SuperMajor, Zain's First SuperMajor, JMook's First SuperMajor. Everyone busts out onto the seen at Genesis. Love it.
Shiek's win con being grab is so tough. Incredible that he can capitalize on the tech chases so consistently. Phenomenal play from both but Jmook wasn't dropping anything this match.
I'm fairly convinced now that after watching modern Melee, the spirit of Mew2King and his work ethic has been passed onto three players as solo mains, each of them one his own characters: -Zain with Marth -JMook with Sheik -Cody with Fox All three play flashy, surgical versions of their characters that, had Jason chose just one to refine and get good with, would be as good if not better than one of these three individuals.
He was too ahead of his time and it cost him. He could tell really early that controllers were fucked and that influenced him to main multiple characters. Relying on matchups and stages to win rather than pure execution. By the time UCF came along, he already had all those characters developed to the point he wasn't going to give up being a multi-main. But I feel like if he started in the era of training mods and UCF, he'd probably realize solo mains get to the top faster and stick with one. Between being a product of his time and dividing his time between all the smash games, he was def nerfed.
@@yamezjournal3916 Crazy how this all 'cost him' like were talking about a career like plup's. This is MEW2KING the greatest multigame smash player oat in my opinion (I respect wizzy, zero, esam and others too tho) as well as one of the 5 Gods of Melee and had his own era of dominance.
Mew2King is making more money than almost every top Melee player by coaching and streaming. He’s proven himself to be one of the best Super Smash Bros players in history. All is good
Amazingly done by Jmook, taking Genesis is the highest honor in Melee imo!❤ also props to the commentators not yelling over each other and actually paying attention to the game even with 4 people👍 great tournament as always, Genesis never disappoints❤
Absolutely incredible play by both of them this tournament. Congrats to Jmook, and I look forward to seeing more of him this year. I've been waiting to see this man pop off, and he did not disappoint. also, shoutouts to the production and uploading staff for the event. Ya'll always kill it, and we appreciate the extra nothing at the end of the video to prevent spoilers!
24:45 Jmook’s face is pure gold, the realization dawns on him that he just did it, well fucking done. 2023 is off to a great start Edit: didn’t mean to start a whole debate on masks, so be careful when checking replies 😅
@@Quasi11Modo which is why I've stopped watching it. Well, I stopped watching ultimate after the whole weird captain Zach shit. Bunch of weird weebs touching each other and then virtue signal with masks lol
Just wanna pop in and say I'm excited to see Jmook take his back to back championship this year (hopefully). Been a big fan since he started picking up steam at G8.
Shoutouts to NY. Good stuff to both players for a historic Grand Finals. This was one for the books. What a way to kick off the 2023 year. Long live this wonderful game. Melee is so sick.
Yo.. How do you go from unranked/unknown to Top 8 performances to winning arguably one of the biggest melee events from winner's side? Jmook is a monster
What a strange top 8, Mang0 completely absent, 2saint knocking amsa into losers completely off stream, moky making it to winners finals. Jeez, what a strange one
i knew the results already but the runtime had me at the edge of my seat the entire way lol. It probably wasn’t intentional but adding all that extra content after the set rlly added to the suspense. it wouldve been a lot less hype if i could see in that last game there was only 1 min left or something
As a Sheik player so happy to finally see a solo main sheik win a super major. Jmook's sheik is like watching poetry in motion. He is so clean with it. Watching your character at the top levels and taking on all the other pro's is so satisfying.
Would've been down for the Moky dream but can't complain with the grands we got. Absolutely amazing showing from both players. They're gonna dominate this year, I feel
Well Done by Jmook! Made his appearance at Genesis 8, had the greatest breakout story in melee history, a year later, won at the same tournament where he first made his debut. Amazing stuff.
I would go to the AFK Tavern almost every weekend making a killing with my Sheik. People got pissed off with my abilities as a gamer. This Sheik is done by a true master. Everyone would be afraid except me despite getting owned by Jmook now.
Awesome storyline but ngl this doesn't quite beat out grands of the Mogul Moves employee tournament played at G9. Seriously, do yourself a favor and go watch the VOD.
What better way to prove to anyone that you're better than them than by winning a Supermajor using a character that's generally categorized as a Tier below Fox. We got another Alliance Armada in our hands, ladies and gentlemen. Congratulations, Jmook! So fun to see a Spacie get destroyed, haha!
8 months ago, an unranked player would enter Genesis 8 with no expectations and go on to finish 2nd at only his 4th out of state Supermajor 8 months later he sits on the throne of Genesis and for now at least, holds the title of No. 1 for 2023. Good stuff Jmook
@@jbb4105 Nah they right no need to chill, it was pretty fantastic. Besides those ARE mango's words, he wants to go and claim a statement like that, then by all means. We'll be waiting for his return, hopefully without a mentality/ego like that.

@@Pleasantries Thanks Pleasantries!
This 4-man booth had some of the best Melee commentary ever. Informative and entertaining, and very little of guys trying to talk over one another. Awesome work.
4 OG Melee casters. Some of my favorite FGC commentary is from these guys
My personal head canon is that Cody and jmook got second in doubles and then said “ok watch this” and then made grands. W set
That is still kinda crazy though hahaha
after years of no solo Sheiks winning a super major I had begun to lose faith, but after seeing Jmook's 2022 I knew he had to be the one to finally do it. Great stuff by Jmook, his punish game on Fox is ridiculous.
So poetic that his first win came at genesis a year after his breakout genesis run.
A little sad i couldn't watch this live. But amazing result! Poetic grand finals, considering how their set at Genesis went down last year.
I legit teared up a bit when they said that he quit Starbucks for this. I quit Starbucks and only became a bartender, but this man just took Genesis 9 as his first super major. Fucking incredible job Jmook, that was an absolute treat to watch.
Sheik has finally done it again, took her more than 15 years but she finally did it again.
You’re saying it like Sheik is an actual person wtf is your problem
@@skullcollectionpr what is your problem, he just pointing at how it took long for sheik to rise a major win.
@@TDG386 certain
Sheik is an actually person her pronouns being uptlit/fair
Spoilers jeez I clicked on the video then saw this
I see alot of Armada and Android's influence in Jmook. Pure precision and efficiency. What a great player. NEW ERA OF MELEE.
genesis 9 melee was legendary. jmook wins at the tourney he broke out at last year at genesis 8 and proves that solo sheik can do it in the 2023 melee meta :)
such an amazing set. so high level it really could have gone either way. really excited to see them meet again in bracket
First solo sheik super major victory, amazing stuff, it's crazy that his road to first place started at Genesis 8 and concluded at Genesis 9
Genesis is the tournament of Firsts. Armada's First SuperMajor, Plup's First SuperMajor, Zain's First SuperMajor, JMook's First SuperMajor. Everyone busts out onto the seen at Genesis. Love it.

フォックスVSシーク、いつ見ても最高だな
What an amazing set! They were playing out of their mind, and the fact it was kinda close made Jmook victory even better ! So happy for him :)
THE POSTURE IS INSANE!!!!
Is it weird that I see shades of Borp in Jmook. The Jwalks the rolls and the perfect up-tilts anf f-tilts
Sometimes raw fundies are all you need
Let's go! The new season of Melee is off to a strong start, can't wait to see where the writers are taking it
The top 4 result is wild dude... didn't see this coming at all.
Let's go Jmook, so glad you won!
We all knew it's gona happen... Still feels weird that it happened though😂

jmook is officially the sheik goat 🙇♀️
He broke out at last year's Genesis. It's only fitting that, at the following Genesis, he takes the whole thing.
Oh,he just got the melee vision at its finest, he makes Sheik look like an unstoppable threat.

Dr Alan malding right now that Melee is still legal to play
lmao fr
melee is equal to or greater than sick. it is simply a law of physics.
9:28 How does jmook jab that fast out of sprint? Wouldn't pressing "a" there input a dash attack?
You can crouch cancel your run after the initial dash, and then jab right out of the crouch.
Let’s fucking go Jmook. Deserved.
