my favorite example of AsumSaus' attention to detail is the last video, when he wanted to be an "official TH-camr", he put himself between Dream and Corpse, who are famous for not using cameras, then announced he got a camera, i love it
pika main here - my favorite strange pika thing is really obscure, but actually a pretty big deal - if pikachu is on the higher port number, his forward throw won't have an electric effect; it'll just have normal hitlag. this causes him to lose a significant amount of frame advantage on it, making it almost useless. in certain matchups, pikachu has to make a choice between a functional fthrow on port 1 or taking 1 less frame of throw hitstun on port 4, a choice i don't believe anyone else has to make.
This is especially important in Marth and sheik matchups if you want access to fthrow -> dair at the 90-110% range. Vs sheik, you have to make the choice if you want that kill setup or if you want to escape the CG much earlier
@@icarussbungeecord7779Look, I like junebug, but patchwork wasn't a major, the highest ranked player there was 14 with salt. Dk and June have shown amazing potential but they haven't gotten the big one yet
Well axe does his sweetspots at a distance where the extended hitbox is harder to hit. It's actually pretty strict to hit pika out of it unless you're very practiced vs pika
Zain will ONE day get the win against Axes Pikachu the same way Mang0 lost to a Captain Falcon recently. However. He needs to win consistently for it to matter to me.
@@YadonTheCat I think it used to until Ultimate. It was *really* bad in Smash 4 cause multiple characters could exploit it, especially with 2 frame punishment.
@@YadonTheCat I remember it being a problem in Smash 4, so I was surprised to hear him explain it here like if it was some obscure quirk. I don't remember if it's still in Ultimate, tho.
Hi kimchi here. Fun facts about Pikachu: Pikachu wavedash, normal landing animation, non l cancelled bair and jumpsquat all low profile many tall character's grabs for ranges of 2-18 frames. Pikachu's dashback puts him closer to his opponent because his tail extends outward and upward for up to 4 frames after dashing back. Pikachu's jumpsquat and wavedash tuck his tail hurtbox into his body mitigating the previous dashback problem.
This reminds me of Bowser's pivot grab in smash 4. Sure, it was large, but most of the ridiculous teleport grab clips are because of hurtbox shifting and other movements
As a Shulk main, few things were more satisfying than using Speed Art to pivot grab and slide halfway across the stage into a back-throw. Sliding grabs were probably one of my favourite things about Sm4sh. Ultimate grabs feel so static by comparison
There is a great clip of Axe getting tippered during his up b that also looks absurd, I think it was by PPMD at Summit 1 in one of the "challenge matches". That was always my go-to example for Pikachu stretching out so much. Also, nice video as always!
thank you for showcasing bobby big ballz. Dude gets a bad rep for some mistakes a long time ago but he has really come around and I'm glad you can show it
Axe doing a taunt-cancel wavedaash in his face is just another reason why Axe is the GOAT. Maybe not the best player at winning majors, but just the best overall smash player of all time!
@@bgmarshall I mean, if you knew as much about Melee as you claim, you'd know that "Axe is the best Melee player (by far)" is a long-standing joke from Rishi
I think one of my favorite things in the clips from tournaments is that whenever some bullshit jank, or disrespect happens you can almost always see both players laughing and smiling. Just having maximum fun. People get mad in other games when some glitch robs them. Its nice to just see people love a game so much, that even bullshit can't stop their fun.
i’ve been watching you since you would just post clips. i got really sad when they all got disappeared but i have to say i’m very happy with the new content you make. please keep making melee content, you’re probably one of the biggest reasons the community stays alive.
4:00 I love how the audio in the segment about interruptions sounds like it's interrupting itself around when he says "interrupted by another animation."
3:50 them both smiling here is the reason I love competitive games. He knew he screwed up and instead of punishing him, he shows just how close he’s paying attention
I don't even play or know anything about smash but I still can't stop watching these videos because they're so pleasant, well-edited, and interesting Also your voice reminds me of pannenkoek which is cool
"video ends" *video doesn't actually ends because this beautiful creator has super generous patrons on patreon... if only this guy wasn't supported by a thriving comunity, the joke would have been so much more funny humpf !
People like Axe and M2K are so good for the community. Dont get me wrong I love other players too, but that willingness to be silly and have fun is always great, and makes sure were all having fun :)
YOOOO awesome video!! I tested pikachu being able to BAIR through the left platform on yoshis a while back cuz I saw a clip of him falling thru the platform while doing a bair. I knew the spacing was tight & i guessed it was ECB related but it's so nice having that confirmed. It's so cool to actually see how his ECB is, god damn i fucking love melee.
1:55 Peach and Falco walking in the background for no reason is why this is truly the best Melee channel
Holy shit I didn’t notice it, but yeah, details like these are what makes this channel stand out
His attention to detail is astounding

Sounds wack, yet normal
Oh ye, it's Melee
Well as pika you want the higher port anyway for ledge grab priority

This makes me even more impressed that Axe so consistently gets around Zain trying to edgeguard with down-tilt.
Zain practiced a lot against pikachu, specifically edgeguarding since they last met. Its looking grim for the rat.
Well axe does his sweetspots at a distance where the extended hitbox is harder to hit. It's actually pretty strict to hit pika out of it unless you're very practiced vs pika

2:53 I can't stop laughing at how stretched pikachu looks lmao this is amazing
da stretchychu too powerful, big strongk
This canonically means pikachu can stretch his body paper thin and that it isn’t just an animation thing.
@@lordkaos31 Finally, the pancakes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate make sense.

Starting the video with spiderman 3 is a power move.
"look at little Pikachu Jr... gonna cry?"

You know it’s a good day when AsumSaus uploads
You could say it's an asum day
And then the next 4 months are cold
I fear the next few months to come 😞
That Quick Attack quirk still exists in future entries.
Are you talking about the stretchy-chu or the momentum-chu?
@@nicocchi
Stretch. It's a little hard to notice, but Pikachu does stretch in future entries of SSB
@@DragoKirby But does the hitbox still stretch?

i miss smash 4 pivot grabbing
it was stupid but really fun, and helped make a lot of characters with awful grabs actually have nice range on them

This man really interrupted his own voiceover when demonstrating IASA frames
Timestamp? Or am I just deaf
@@fluury listen close to when he says "before their" at 4:01
That is insane that you can hear that
@@purplwithnoe I don't get it.
@@tenslein8977 the voiceover was done in multiple takes and was accidentally overlayed over itself.

just checked that clip out. damn, that’s a crazy one too
@@AsumSaus Yeah, if I remember correctly that one is from a horizontal stretch compared to the BBB vertical stretch one!
Once again, asumsaus showing sickly how no characters in melee are broken in a Meta-Knight or Pokémon stadium way
Already giving a thumbs up for the Dragon Quest music.
Casino Calavera music got me hyped for the Weird Wavedash of the Day
I gave it a Like for the SiIvaGunner version of "Ballad Of The Windfish".
Wow this is so neat haha. The stretchy up-b is blowing my mind
LE's brother getting taunted on by Axe is hilarious.
True!
4:58 - 5:04 Dunno why, but I find the Pika-noises in this bit to be extra adorable for some reason.
You consistently make enjoying content for a game I have never played keep it up man
At this point discovering every characters super wavedash should just be a fulltime job
thank you for showcasing bobby big ballz. Dude gets a bad rep for some mistakes a long time ago but he has really come around and I'm glad you can show it
0:38 time to correct that shiiiet. Yoshi did it

i feel like if every player changed to the samecharacter with the same amount of skill as on their old main, axe would be top 10 all time
And against elle's brother no less
your editing/productions/ideas are extremely well executed. cheers
Yea pikachu video always nice to see Asum cover another Character by it’s own in a video
I really wanna see stuff about Kirby imo.

incredible production value on this one, just so many really slick edits
thanks!
Wow, that team tech near the end reflecting the electric bolt to super dash off of it. Sick options for teams there.
I love the little easter eggs in these videos.
1:55
This is the coolest way to display frame data I've ever seen
5:20 Ce « VOILÀ » était vraiment PARFAIT ! 👍🏾
The sheer dedication of this man to have so much attention to detail in each video is amazing
how the hell did he get falco in the background of onett
There's Peach too
He asked them nicely.
He put onett in the background of onett
the editing and production is absolutely phenomenal i love it
I love love love your editing style, it's really the coolest. Also I legit feel like you know more about Melee than the developers did lol

Rest in pepperoni Mr.Game and Watch 5:49
I’m happy you uploaded again! As an ultimate fan you’re making me enjoy watching Melee a ton
2:27 Certified Marth Moment™️
4:00 I love how the audio in the segment about interruptions sounds like it's interrupting itself around when he says "interrupted by another animation."
I could see Falco and Peach walking around the city in the background at 1:56. These fun details make these vids top tier
Are melee stats and asumsaus on a schedule?
This was very fun to watch. Thank you for the time it took to make this.
This is a certified Marth Classic!
Also, the only bad thing about these vids is that they end too soon.
Excellent choice on music for the last section. Grim Fandango!
I can’t believe I recognized the siivagunner ballad of the wind fish remix during the IASA bit. I love this channel so much
I lost my shit at the laugh at 4:40
IDK stuff like "HOHOHO" and "WOMBO COMBO" always gets me
What Spiderman 3 does to a MF
Oh yeah it's always a good day when AsumSaus is uploading
The first 30 seconds of this video is a masterpiece
a “certified marth moment” is my new favourite line in your entire catalogue
3:50 them both smiling here is the reason I love competitive games. He knew he screwed up and instead of punishing him, he shows just how close he’s paying attention
This channel is in the top 3 for melee content. Everything is just so cleanly presented.
I just noticed falco walking down the street in Onett at 1:58. i love little easter eggs like that. ty
Return of the king!
He animated the emoticon winking. Incredible. Ll
I'm calling Pichus "Prekachus" from now on. Also Raichus will now be "Postkachus".
I just realized the Falcon player is Ellie's brother
I don't even play or know anything about smash but I still can't stop watching these videos because they're so pleasant, well-edited, and interesting
Also your voice reminds me of pannenkoek which is cool
Damn dude, you got me with "Prekachu" hahaha. Fun video, as always!
It’s always a good day when asumsaus uploads
I'll read any comment i dang well please
asumsaus, in the outro: "Big thank you to Dizzy, Grarlic, ..."
me: oh cool glad to see people supporting his content
asumsaus: "... and William A."
0:32 NOT ANYMORE BAYBYYYYY
4:00 Great attention to detail on that interruption narration clip lmao
holy crap that's so cheeky . love the detail put into these videos
love the Easter eggs in the background its such a small detail but has a charm in its self
And always remember! Love with your heart, use your head for everything else.
I thought of that too when I saw “debunk” in the title
Dude.... Seriously, I trully appreciate your passion for Melee! Another great video!!
Cheers from Brazil!
Man, I remember seeing the pika super wavedash on an old Scykoh glitch video, super cool to learn the mechanics of it all these years later
2:27 phrases to add to my daily vernacular: "certified marth moment"
Yoo, that’s Ellie’s brother getting sauced on by Axe!
Easily my favorite TH-camr right now even tho he dosent upload often 😂his videos has so much replay value
0:26 I need a sound clip of that "Aw jesus" ASAP!
