Golden Guardians made a good choice with aMSa

[@SSB_Seal]

aMSa has now won his last 4 sets in a row vs Zain and this one was his first ever 3-0! Crazy turnaround since Zain won their first 5 sets, so now aMSa is one set away from evening up their head to head.

[@Dwiz26]

Thank you for the history/context!

[@poleon2003]

They actually first played at a Xanadu local in 2016 where aMSa won 2-1 but yeah that probably doesn't count since that was way before Zain's comeup

[@SSB_Seal]

@@poleon2003 Ah neat, thanks for sharing that!

[@happinesstolerant]

The best marth ever loses consistently to the best yoshi ever. Mind blown.

[@DoctorHazy]

Bro, Toph said, "Zain, FLOUNDERING mashing on the control stick like a CHILD" 💀

[@RadicalTadpoles1000]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rowanmadden8689]

Amsa is so cracked, zains eyes were bulging on last stock game 1

[@treehann]

7:14 this moment is so cool, and seeing the crowd cheer so hard for aMSa honestly brings a tear to my eye. I always dreamed of seeing this guy at the top so the modern era of melee is so exciting to me!

[@MaZe741]

And right after Zain played the best set of the whole year, he met a red Yoshi

[@appleormac]

10:35 grab into grab - true combo

[@johnharlan1494]

Dude toph would be such a good commentator if he just said what’s happening in the game instead of telling stories the whole time lol

[@devildickdeep]

Bro that shit is annoying

[@ABagOVicodin]

12:00 aMSa learning from N0ne lmao

[@rat4992]

😂

[@kkokay4]

Truly canadian

[@MultiAsdasad]

looool amsa, love him for that

[@TimmyT1234]

01:34 The moment you realize Yoshi can also parry grabs lol If you slow it down, it's a really interesting interaction frame data wise. I think Zane is both struggling with respecting aMSa too much and not enough at the same time

[@bananaramichs581]

I'm not sure what happened, but I don't think it's a parry. With a parry animation I don't believe you see the egg shield pop up at all which you see for a short moment there. e.g. if you slow down at like 1:50 you can see the parry but no egg shield

[@TimmyT1234]

​@@bananaramichs581 I'm really having to reach here lol. I know he can parry for the first 6 frames, and I THINK the egg shows up on frame 3 leaving a few frames of overlap? If you're right though, I have no idea how he avoided the grab, Marth was practically on top of him Dope melee either way though

[@habrosguitar]

​@@bananaramichs581it is a parry. parry > grab

[@jebril]

I thought it was a bug when I saw it live tbh.

[@TakuwanOnMelee]

If they try to oos grab against aMSa's dtilt in match, they will almost always get parried. Technically, it is punishable, but if they are not prepared for it, reaction delay, the oos grab will coincide with the frame when yoshi can parry. 9:33 in this situation Zain was ready for it

[@heyitsmort7744]

Lets go AMSA! Go MxM!

[@jamescamp5169]

The dair/fair ledge cancel on yoshi shielding just isn't doing it. the pressure doesn't do much and gives yoshi space to just move away

[@Dr3am9553]

hey guys.... don't put stats in the bottom header if they are all wrong. It's starts to get really silly to look at.

[@av6207]

Crazy how i'm watching Winners Finals and mid-game i get a twitter notification from Axe spoiling the whole tournament. Smfh

[@gabrielwest2584]

That sucks man 😢

[@rat4992]

I’m in no way trying to be rude but you just gotta avoid that stuff. It’s lowkey your own fault tbf. I agree that it’s super unfortunate though

[@Michael-hc2hp]

It's not Axe's fault that you weren't watching the tournament live

[@av6207]

@@Michael-hc2hp yeah it's also not my fault that i didn't have time to watch the tournament live cause i was busy, i'm not mad at Axe or anything he's a great guy it's just these small things are really disappointing. Next time i'll remember to disable notifications.

[@20102010b]

Toph sounds drunk lmao

[@PattyFowl]

With his articulate and educated commentary? Idk man, he gets drunk on stream and words start to slur pretty quick. Seems very sober here

[@20102010b]

@@PattyFowl the first 30s of the video sound way more like the last episode of a recording session of the reads than tophs commentary usually does

[@PattyFowl]

@@20102010b listening again - he is definitely getting distracted but he brings it back to the matchup after talking about Zain’s sponsor

[@johnharlan1494]

I cant watch if toph is in his storytelling mode

[@randompianist8359]

@@johnharlan1494 he's so annoying vish made this listenable

[@-kurt]

Was toph high or something during this top 8 lol?? He seemed a bit uppity

[@Bleeper852]

aMSa is the fire of Melee 🎉❤

[@alejandroruiz754]

How do i get that Red Bull branded gamecube controller? I need it to improve my gameplay

[@ismelljello]

4:30 lmao

[@Frichilsasta08]

I'm starting to think Yoshi wins this MU

[@bigredog100]

He does, its so much harder for Marth to kill Yoshi then vice versa. Marthritus is magnified in this match up

[@firelifeblizzard8782]

Zain would've won if he was on golden guardians

[@Dysphoros]

Zain..........

[@drewbalooba]

Okay you melonfarmers. That is the cascadia flag. Stop fartin around

[@mathwizard296]

if zain beat cody amsa wouldve won yet another super major and guarantee his #1 spot but now Cody is in #1 contention

[@devildickdeep]

Bro I’m trying to be dialed into the match but somehow Toph always distracts me with his boring stories. Pls get real commentators to talk about the set in real time. Thank you

[@SamHuang69]

amsa is so fucking good it's actually not real
