Ben literally kicking the world while it's down

[@CapFlipGaming]

I've never seen him before, but seems pretty good honestly!

[@MrVibe-jm5fv]

I love how Ultimate commentators try to not pick sides in these crew battles but melee doesn't care. And that's beautiful.

Its cause Leo is not on team America

[@pierceweber6656]

I love how they gave each other a little kiss before the first matchup started. Melee is such a wholesome and caring sport

[@zRunes]

When N0ne came out and took two of Axe's stock's off camera i freaked

[@Dman40000]

why is this liked so much

[@Archrid]

Axe gave the world 2 of his stocks for free and still went positive. Axe forgetting his stock count resulted in the world getting lightning heel'd.

[@joshualangowells6101]

The only player who would double homie stock by accident

[@dsgamecube]

He was preventing the Johns from Soonsay forgetting one stock by forgetting two of his own.

[@KalebSDay]

1:14:42 "I forgot I had 3 stocks" -Axe Hahaha and I thought he just played with 1 to make it more interesting

[@jbb4105]

Has HBox always been team World? I thought bro was from Florida

[@Personified134]

He frequently plays representing Argentina to make these crews a bit more fair

[@gibransalazar7769]

Spark played so good against Hbox

[@Gamenut5555]

TO's needed to be more on top of stock counts. What was with people forgetting how many stocks they should have had???

[@evanpowers1537]

Yeah why did inky just throw away a stock and start the next game with 2..?

[@PompousPoggs]

They started the game at 9:49. At 9:50 you can hear Sheik (inky) lose a stock to start the game at 3 stocks. You can hear Sheik lose another stock at 10:17 because Lucky and inky were actually playing the match by this point.

[@krizpyclips9270]

1:16:31 Fatality!

[@11THEW0RD11]

What's up with moky being a dick? Did he get mad that he got owned by a low tier character or something.

[@atlasgriffin]

he was running hot and he used this to fuel all the cool moments he had in the bracket so i am in favor of it

[@StanleySophana]

2023 is the year of Roy, where Zai- I mean DontTestMe will make a Skilled Roy dominate any tournament he enters

[@pksprite6401]

The Roy was awesome. Def my favorite part.

[@Johnny_Duster]

Were they booing at Zain because I don’t know why HES LITERALLY PLAYING A LOW TIER

[@hammiehsy6508]

2:11 did Fox was thrown so hard that take damage for being off camera even if he's still in the stage?

[@theclub3498]

If you're off camera long enough, you take damage.

[@11THEW0RD11]

God I love watching soonsay.

[@scythermantis]

DID SHE JUST DROP DOWN GRACEFULLY AND KICK HIM IN THE FACE WITH HER STILETTOS???

[@KolMan2000]

Who the hell was in charge of the cameras. We missed first stock on multiple matches and were just left staring at the player cams with only audio

[@pedrohdalla]

Why is hbox in World team? I thought it was Hungry Box not Hungary Box

[@jaboi2784]

Commentator radar, I don’t know who you are but if you are watching this I legitimately found the moving the candy thing like it was Randal at 6:00 to be funny :)

[@Radarssbm]

Thanks man!

[@GanonGerudo]

Watched the Ultimate Smash battle and coming here. Seeing the skill difference in mechanics proves melee holds a higher ceiling skill ceiling and precision. The speed makes it so much worth the watch IMO.

[@hunbi1875]

melee watchers try not to talk about how they think its better than other smash games challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (GONE WRONG) (GONE SEXUAL)

[@monsterkiller5]

Frenzy's such a scumbag for letting Axe throw away two stocks and then not offering to replay when he told him 😂 He tried to hold it down for the world, I respect it lol

[@ChooChooTrainny]

Today I learned Moky self identifies as he/jim

[@carloszagal1934]

Damn Moky, he was tilted

[@bigschn0se541]

He is always tilted and salty while playing the literal best character in the game

[@carloszagal1934]

@@bigschn0se541 yeah i don't get it. I met him irl and he was nice but geez homie. I main ganon, and I don't even get salty like this lmao

I wonder what Moky said to Zain. Did he even fist bump?

[@Nathaniel22945]

You can hear it if you listen

[@abdulsattarmohammed3918]

I heard "I'm not touching your hand, you're a pussy"

[@beszt95]

@@ryanguerrero2327 That was just game 3, but I appreciate it! I know before at some tournaments if they weren't able to stream some sets, they would still record the inputs on slippi and be able to upload that at least. That's what I'm hoping for here

[@Sonick92]

Yea, there's slippi recordings at GOML. It's just a matter of TOs getting the files off the consoles

[@pyrex8]

Lmao Moky is just mad be got destroyed by zains Roy. There’s a reason why zain is #1 and Moky is #13 on the most recent power rankings, zains just the better player and Moky is mad about it

[@zoidbergington]

Zain and moky are friends who frequently play with one another. Moky wanted Zain to take it more seriously. It really isn't that deep.

[@pyrex8]

@@zoidbergington ya I ik they are

[@gianlucatartaro1335]

Lol totally agree with Radar, Sheik bodies Falcon and Marth. Only reason she isn’t top 3 is because she loses to Fox. If Fox wasn’t in the game, Sheik would be the perfect character.

[@Madbutcher305]

i think falcon is overall not that disadvantaged vs sheik. he has one of the most fatal edgeguards vs her and can abuse his speed and cc to make it scary for sheik to use tilts or aerials in neutral. he does still get tech chased very hard and is easily edgeguarded himself but it's probably like 45:55 rather than "bodied". sheik probably loses to falco and puff as well as fox

[@twelvevoltage]

Falcon and sheik both have great punish games on eachothers but the neutral is easier for sheik, having those great tilts and needles helps a lot

[@JM43438]

wheres the line up

[@TrevsTreehouse]

I think some of Roys worst matchups are Samus and Peach because of the projectiles, their CC, and his lack of combo game on them

[@twelvevoltage]

Im not super good. Win a couple games at regionals get 2nd at the smaller locals. I almost beat the 199th player on ranked with my samus bc they played Roy. I can tell you from experience samus wins vs Roy. Roy does have counterplays samus rockets but it all involves him throwing a move out. His best bet is getting constant grabs in neutral and side b and forward smash when you think they'll hit. You have to play really patient as the roy

[@Drumtariano]

dude Soonsay is so nice with it

[@Narutokun1545]

Wtf? Ax had 3 stocks left, not one.

[@petracide]

OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA MAKE ME INK

- The World : Mostly composed of americans - No Leffen, Prof Pro, Amsah, Ice, Pipsqueak, N0ne - Stocks aren't even respected - Unbalanced teams Truly one of the Melee crew battle of all time. Staff should be ashamed.

[@thebrewsky26]

Yeesh on the commentary

[@boogers946]

Curious, if one crew member starts the game with less than 4 stocks, why not just start at GO and fight until you've lost the correct amount of stocks (i.e. self destruct the LAST stock, so no countdown or neutral reset)

[@jojivlogs_4255]

less confusing for spectators. tournaments did this in the past and everyone always asked questions about it. actually i distinctly remember twitch chat during at least one event just being totally filled with questions lmao. from what i recall, a common source of the confusion was when people would see a player that had lost, for example, two stocks against the previous opponent lose another two in the next game, which would ofc mean theyre eliminated. noob spectators, or those not paying attention, assumed the elim'd players were throwing upon seeing them SD to delete their remaining two stocks and end the game

[@boogers946]

@@jojivlogs_4255 thank you

[@witmilk6527]

No hype around taling the last stock

[@realitant]

Players lose count mid match. Easier to do it at the beginning

[@inphlox]

I could also see some complications if the competitors die close to the same time. Easier to SD at the start and go off the results screen than to do instant replay review, I imagine.

[@challeballe2511]

Can i watch this without the commentary somewhere?

[@JulyDaGuy]

Cody looks bored af or maybe just tired like the commentators said. Idk but im hoping is not bored cuz i love seeing him play
