      +Ricardo Salazar Mango would destroy dark. Dark is hands down the most technical beast to hold a gamecube controller. But he wouldnt be able to find openings on mango. Put it this way, dark got 4 stocked by zero last year. But he also whooped zero's ass in that set, but zero took it with a 4 stock.

    • @NinteddyRose
      @NinteddyRose 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ***** Its because he isnt ever in a huge tournament environment. He doesnt get to play the top players. So he doesnt have a easy time adjusting and adapting. He is using his tech to literally stop people from being able to do anything. But against top players, they can get around and are used to adapting. Zero practiced with m2k so he definitely had an advantage when playing Dark.

    It's a TAS. It plays the game at super slow speeds, like a few seconds per frame, and uses save states which save the game at whatever frame it's at when you save it, so you can reload it from there if you mess up. Combine those together and then speed it up and you have a perfect play.

    At first I thought Dark was reading the opponent's moves and responding with lightning efficiency. In reality, he has honed a few specific but highly effective combo entrances and chains so well that he doesn't need to do that. Once you're in his trap, his combos give you no freedom of movement, and he can predict how to smash you to death because he governs exactly what you'll do. He's eliminated the need to respond to the opponent in a genius way.

      Kids these days, don't know that this is old and I bet he's even higher and on another level in tech skill than this. This dude is so TAS and I wont ever see others do what he does.
      Also I bet he's learned the match-ups by now. I hope he posts new stuff so others can hush up about him only the knowledge of tech skill. Thanks.

    I wish dark got to travel to the states more. Does anyone know if he's still active?

    • @strawhats100
      @strawhats100 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      More?...I don't know if he's ever travelled to the U.S. for melee or otherwise tbh. Would've been nice to see him against MaNg0, Armada, M2K, Hbox, PPMD, Hax, Plup, Axe, DSW, Zhu, PC, KDJ, Zain(now)...but now some of those players are retired or inactive.

    • @Dulbasaur
      @Dulbasaur 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He doesn’t travel but is still fairly active in his home country of Chile. He is currently ranked within the top 5 and has played often on Blassy’s stream and there’s even a highlight video on his channel th-cam.com/channels/TVVykiW9T8ymOeHNwBMcgQ.html

    Him and his friend just practiced the same motions but mirrored, and did it over and over until they got one where they happened to synced perfectly. Lovage and Silent Wolf have done something similar.

      Dark needs to play in the bigger tournaments and adapt to american/european top players, that is all. If he could afford to stay a year or two in the US, I bet he could give some serious trouble to top and god players.
      Sadly, he is in Chile, where the Melee scene is kinda small and where Top players are very few.

  • @CyborgNation

    @redryan20000 to continue:
    -Jump(to jump out of a shine has to be within 3(?) frames of the down-b)
    -Waveland on stage(to waveland you have to push down forward and either the L or R trigger to airdodge into the ground which causes the character to slide)
    -dash left
    -shine(down-b)
    -turn around in shine
    -jump
    -wavedash backwards(done like wavelanding except the timing is more strict)
    -grab ledge
    -drop off ledge
    -shine(down-b)
    -turn around in shine
    one more post left.

  • @XCaptainLouieX
    @XCaptainLouieX 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is done by walking off the stage at the exact frame you make the shine appear. Plus, they are not playing PAL, in PAL Marth would fall down to the ground after a Fox shines :)

  • @aaronhthomas
    @aaronhthomas 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @RockLobsta23 Actually the shine distance doesn't vary at any percent, so you can do it to them at 999% and it would be the same as doing it a 0%, it's just about if they are starting off in a good position for it to be done which is at the tip of the shine and above you and slightly infront and also how they DI the shine.

  • @RockLobsta23
    @RockLobsta23 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @aaronhthomas I realize that now, when I was replying to the comment earlier I meant more that it wasnt just a shine bair which is easy given the positioning, its a REVERSE, as in he shines him facing towards him, and reverses for the b-air, which takes some pretty fast and accurate stick movement to get the b-air in.

    Wait, this IS a human playing... Right? RIGHT!?
    If we somehow combined Mang0's style, M2K's patience, Dark and Hax's tech skills, Armada's knowledge, and Leffen's aggression, I think we'd have the absolute PERFECT Fox: a Fox more technical, knowledgable, and stylistically perfect than any human player now. The arrival of 20XX is ....
    NOW.

    • @JesseDumontt

    being able to do insane tech skill stuff in your room or with your friends is one thing, but when you are playing to win, it's hard to apply it.
    A huge part of it is because he doesn't have many good players around to push him.
    also, he's the most technical fox probably, but he doesn't use the tech skill practically.

  • @pokemasterelite
    @pokemasterelite 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @LoverDino fast fingers. some pro players even do the claw technique. basically if you short hop with Y within the first few frame press B then at the top of fox's jump press B again. now if you can short hop proficiently with the control stick then that's better. But its kinda asking to wavedash with the control stick like a boss.

    Idk if someone noticed it, but the "empty short hops" at the end of the sequence in 0:22 and in 0:51, he is actually shining between short hops, but its so fast that you can barely see it, if you change the speed to 1/4 you can see the shine animation, is too fast !!!

    • @shmurdy
      @shmurdy 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      well it also helps that youtube only recently added 60fps video functionality, so every old school melee video is at least at half the framerate. say we assumed this video was a perfect 30fps, and he was in shine for 3 frames before jumping out, you'd only see shine for 1 or 2 frames in the video making it harder to notice. it's still insane though nevertheless.
