Captain Falcon Phenomena

[@Dodger77]

Fun Fact: If you play Kirby, no matter what direction you hold during dash attack, you will go off stage. *sigh*

[@angrycat2789]

Best gentleman explanation Ive seen in years, and Ive been playing this game since 2007

[@ZachStarAttack]

there was a explanation on it on yt. With like coding in it and stufd

[@stompknee]

Really appreciate the shoutout, loved this video!

As a spacie main its embarassing seeing other spacies complain about broken characters. “Yea that move is sooo broken *blip blip blip blip*”

[@ningbosmash6750]

I want to share where the name Gentleman allegedly comes from... I am a falcon main, and I visited Japan 5 years ago and spent some time with S-Royal who in ancient melee times was the best Doc player in the world. I will recall what he told me as best I can: He said at some event, Isai and an old Japanese falcon player called Gentleman had a competition to see who could do the most gentlemans in a row. The winner could name the technique. Guess who won 😂

[@salvatore_slate]

I heard this in some YT vid. Allston Melee or Melee Stats maybe

[@oldenoughtowatchify]

Beautiful explanation! Smash is such an amazing game

[@mxtoastytoad]

Isai?

[@JustLikeYou.]

@@salvatore_slatethe story is told in the smash doc

[@Deadgye]

Never in a 100 years did I think watching sm64 videos for absolutely no raisin years ago would help me understand how to mentlegen with captain falcon.

[@Deadgye]

By the way the only way I play captain falcon is with true wavelands. Meaning I hold pure horizontal control stick angles when I waveland. Because it maximizes swag and is therefore the only way to play captain falcon. Sometimes I even wiggle out of hitstun to perfect waveland instead of teching. Because it's more swag.

There’s two types of falcon mains. One says phenomenons and the other says phenomena

[@dippn7047]

Came as a connoisseur, left as a gentleman

[@ThirtyfourEC]

Made me remember why Captain Falcon was so cool.

[@11shoopdawhoop]

When the mario 64 music started playing and you started talking about 'a' presses, I lost it. Thank you for the fun video.

[@GuberYT]

This is one of the most informative and entertaining Melee videos I've had the pleasure of watching recently, good work

[@thecatastrophe132]

Regarding Gentlemen, it’s called such because the player, Gentleman, and Isai had a bet where the player who got it more frequently had the tech named after them There’s other methods as well, namely pressing Z and A at the same time for the last hit, pressing down in the same way, as well as just pressing each A press very, very slowly

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

Gentleman is a good name for it, because it implies a degree of calm restraint. You're resisting the primal urge to just flail your arms like an animal. You're a dignified gentleman, you've given three hits, and that's enough.

[@zues2011]

I look on you with so much respect for using the Daisy palette

[@justforshow1993]

Been a Capt Falcon main for 3 years now. Dude's a difficult character to master.

[@2N3mo001]

Even without mastering just doing crazy, dumb stuff is insanely fun.

[@ogshrimpsauce]

been a falcon main for 10 years. yes he is

[@justforshow1993]

@@2N3mo001 it is but at the same time being combo food for the bird with the laser gun sucks. I hate that match up with a burning passion.

[@angrycat2789]

​@@justforshow1993once you learn counter laser interactions and smash DI the falco match up is not that bad imo. Yeah it sucks that you can die from one opening but so does he, and the fact that he can die at any point off stage balances the punish game between the 2. Imo, fox is truly a nightmare for falcon, sheik might be even worse but at least you can combo her more or less.

[@xTheReapersSpawn]

@@justforshow1993 200+50 IQ: Use as many Falcon Kicks as the stupid bird shoots lasers. This will condition the Falco player to be more honest now they know they're dealing with a psycho. Mix it up with double jump aerial drifted knees to mess up his shield timings if he starts getting froggy shielding kiccs. Falcon Kick IS a projectile.

[@DootNootem]

5:33 I'd just like to point out that Peach's Side-B also uses an inert hitbox; there, I'll take the nerd emojis

[@N7Sovik]

Been playing Melee for 9 years. This is an extremely well explained video talking about the details of Falcon. Keep it up!

[@oldenoughtowatchify]

2:08 love this clip 😂😂

[@andrewwebb624]

Falcon is the most low-tier feeling high tier I've ever played but I actually really like that, I think falcon is the most balanced character of Amy fighting game honestly he can beat any character but because he is one of the most gimpable characters he has some low tiers that do surprisingly good against him, roy falcon literally isn't even that bad for roy, not saying he wins at all roy still sucks but if you've ever played that matchup from Roy's side you know it's doable

[@Rukir]

subbed, gr8 work. seeing melee content from more than "Top Players featuring AsumSaus" makes this game feel more alive lol

[@JoostArchives]

Had me engaged for the full 27 min, great vid.

[@sheabailey6578]

THANK GOD YOUR SHOWING SOME LOVE TO MY GUY FALCON!! i will now practice that dash attack teck off ledge for the next 3 hours, thank you.

[@JustATanneriteDummy]

3 Months later I expect perfection

[@EMMA-GAMES]

Might be the vid to make me learn to wavedash or even play after being casually interested for years :)

[@SSB_Seal]

Good stuff man, would love to see more videos from you in the future!

[@June0312]

If I were to ever main Falcon, this is a video I would definitely keep in mind. Great stuff 🔥

[@fatbeanzoop]

Amazing video, my friend and I loved it. Thank you for making it and I wish you well

[@lxr4415]

such a fire video man i had no idea about the falcon collision changes

[@orrsh2049]

this video is awesome!!! it's so nice to hear someone explain how gentleman actually works when as a falcon player you just kinda "get it" after playing long enough 😅

[@windwalker9800]

thank you so much juice man i sweat to god im will be top 100 now

[@ajuicejemas]

Whenever the music plays during half A press discussion in videos it brings me untold joy

[@jjman1799]

This video is a straight masterpiece

[@BlueJournalBoutique]

You killed it Mr. Juice -- Congrats

[@dreadedpatrick9876]

as a falcon player, no, please do NOT unfreeze stadium. the second anyone hits me with an infinite that's a borderline wobble i just don't wanna play anymore. 12:30 made me want to keep it frozen

[@kwobbleguy9252]

But… raptor boost wall cancels 🥺

[@equu497]

Well done on this video. Can't wait to see what else you grace us with

[@squirrelwithabanana]

Great AsumSaus inspired video! Love this type of content!

[@WoodyRun]

I love videos like this, keep it up! Falcon has more fun stuff too like the guaranteed ICG setup with falcon kick, instant walljump from ledge on FD, and the backwards walljump! Also regular mario can lemon drop too, not just exclusive to doc.

[@tomdaniel2612]

My god this vid is a masterpiece :D You deserve wayy more subs

[@menagerie7799]

For years I've been searching for a good explanation around the gentleman. Thank you.

[@JoeDude1901]

I know this has nothing to do with the video, but I love Unfrozen Pokemon Stadium as much as I love Captain Falcon in Melee. I might be the only one who genuinely likes Unfrozen Stadium, and if so, I’ll be more than happy to die on that hill. Also, great video man, #freestadium.

[@khersy]

really is crazy how they patched missing a gentleman in PAL

[@jaxbrown2627]

What an investing video as your first peice of long form youtube content im bias cause i love melee but it was great

[@prizm9515]

Been following competitive melee for years and I never knew why the gentleman was different than other jabs. Sure glad TJ Henry Yoshi could shine some light on the subject lol

[@andrewdenton262]

Is that extreme g music at 18:50? Memory unlocked?!

[@joekrause7346]

I just came from your Ugly Side reupload where you had the positive message about mental health, being careful about words, and not punishing people for a single mistake, and then I come here to see you absolutely dogpiling on TJ lol.

[@vampkitty2113]

The music in this is 🔥. Great video!

[@nylenemateo8496]

Yes Mr. Juice 🤙🏼

[@anthonygillette]

Your editing straight feels like Asumsaus but the content is so unique. Not a complaint a legit complement I think this editing style requires so much creativity and knowledge of the content and the video editing

[@Zadamanim]

I'm pretty sure captain falcon's side b cancel happens when his environmental collision box (ECB) collides with a wall during the move, not the inert hitboxes. The ECB is whats used to determine if you land on the ground, hit a wall, hit a ceiling, or bump into another player.

[@Ponderething]

The sm64 and ssbm community have such a massive overlap i swear

[@Lampaluile]

Roll/airdodge in the raptor boost? But that’s a game changer, adds more camping

[@rei3951]

The explanation of cap’s gentleman and knowing that they changed it later makes me wanna question how much caffeine HAL labs were on from 2000-2001

[@petrie911]

Raptor boost going into special fall when going off a ledge is such a strange design choice.

[@saxeladude]

Cool more content akin to asum saus I always find these interesting. Deep dives into the jank of melee is always a fun discussion.

[@Applesgosh]

high quality content, looking forward to more in the future!

[@thesuntitan]

Even though I already knew all this stuff I still watched through the end. Great video, cheers from a Falcon main since 2007

[@WeThePeeps1221]

Great vid man this reminded me of an old school kira video

[@ZachStarAttack]

SUCH A GOOD VID!! NEED MOOOOOOORE

[@ethanmurdock2734]

Just a great video. Love to see this kind of Melee content

[@SleepingChimes]

green is optimal cuz haxdashing. also a wider ecb making you tech sooner makes for a tighter reaction window for falcon

[@ZachStarAttack]

13:43 why does his ecb go out when his legs go back haha

[@PigsSSBM]

great vid! btw the "inert" hitboxes are not what causes the wall or ledge interactions during raptor boost. The ECB checks collisions.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I have had an argument with a few people about the best ariel in the game. I think its falcos down air, but the other 2 choices are marth fair, and falcon dair. The reason I say falco has it is because the move is very fast start up, can be used as a kill move, a gimp move, and a combo move. It has incredible hit stun, and is an actual spike that cant be meteor canclled and how long that spike hit box lasts is insane.

[@jasonjean5333]

*Aerial

[@The1TrueFoxMcCloud]

I say falco dair is most busted move n game becuz not only wut u said but is sex kick that beats CC also not 2 mention has good landing lag 2 shield stun ratio

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

I mean The test is to go down the roster, and one by one decide which move every character on the cast would prefer Various properties of the characters will make some prefer one of the other, but in general, the one they want most often should probably be the best.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Sure some lower tiers have great moves like pikachu up air but I just mean of the high tiers. Falco dair is just insane.

[@smoceany9478]

G&W fair

[@tyrangi2972]

great editing great video looking forward to more!

[@JustAaron94]

Was thinking this would finally be a deep dive into the phenomenon of spectators finding falcon combos somehow cooler than sheik or samus combos simply because his moves look more "visceral" or "manly", But what we got was also nice.

[@ClassicBentobox]

I was pretty surprised after I started going to the same local STC was going to because he’ll do stuff in bracket I would never try

[@reggislowgas993]

Wonderful video, I no longer care much nor follow smash in general but this video was very interesting. Never realized melee's stomp had that much leeway into knee

[@Boyzby]

A button press is the one motion of pushing in the button, release has nothing to do with it. Some games tell you to press and hold for certain things, and you'd look like an idiot if you released the button just to hold it again. Things usually activate at the press of a button-like moves using the A button or jumping with X/Y-weird that they do it when the button is pressed in and not on release. Just because you can measure something with the release of a button, doesn't mean people get to be lazy and call it a half-press.

You can use the Doc style Lemon Drop with Marth but it isnt dash attack, you use running d-tilt instead.
