Gotta say, “the best of the three finishers can be punished on hit” is a singularly terrifying statement.

[@BackOff_xd]

Yup

[@WanArk86]

Nah... that time stop glitch was lore accurate.

[@christianpeavey8262]

Ok not my favorite format but I'm fine with videos like this. However one bit of criticism I can offer is check how long some text is on screen. I had to constantly rewind and pause the video multiple times to read some sentences that appeared and disappeared instantly

[@forcrit2562]

Minor correction, TS glitch actually doesn't increase damage, but instead stops the health refill inbetween rounds. Despite the health bar showing otherwise, if you pulled it off perfectly, your opponent will only have 1 HP during the time stop. For some reason, some characters are also not affected by this, like both Kaks (he needs it), S.Dio, Mariah (smh she's top tier pls ban)

[@spidor2560]

tbf sdio has so much unused meter he could reverse ts glitch the opponent in most situations if theyre low enough

Im so tired of seeing this format done by people who don't know the game they're talking about beyond surface level so this was a much needed change

[@MrNapkino]

I agree, but it's funny you say that since the origin of this format (melee is broken) was made with very surface level knowledge lol.

[@stealthy9156]

@@MrNapkino possible. But it's an old enough game to where what's broken is seriously broken. Pretty much everything in that video (I rewatched it just to be sure) made me go "okay that sounds really dumb/bad" (except luigi's nair and Roy's up air, which didn't seem that big of a deal to me, but I lack direct experience with the game, so it's hard to say). Half the time I watch another "X is broken" it just lists character strengths instead of actually broken, either because the game is just a lot more balanced than something like melee (which I really hope for lol) or because the person doesn't know the game that well. I think in both cases it kind of transpires from the video and makes it a lot less interesting

[@crack4184]

​@@stealthy9156 Heeew mentionned Luigi's NAir because it's the most complained tool Luigi has and Heeew mains/mained Luigi at the time

[@MrNapkino]

@@stealthy9156 There's a lot of stuff brought up in the video that isn't even close to broken in the context of melee's meta, like all the funny low tier jank, battlefield ledge, captain falcon/ganon side b not grabbing ledge, etc. That plus several meta-defining and broken things not being brought up at all pretty much confirms very surface level knowledge of the game for me. And the low level of gameplay shown in the video isn't doing him any favors here either.

[@MSCDonkeyKong]

I somewhat agree, cause Melee is Broken was about showing mechanics/jank that weren't in later Smash entries and that newer community members wouldn't know about. You don't need to be an expert, but you do have to know enough to actually bring up interesting mechanics that you wouldn't just assume are there. Melee is Broken worked as a video because Heeew was comparing it to the later Smash entries, it didn't need to be an indepth breakdown or to come from an expert player because that was never the point. He was explaining weird Melee mechanics to the audience of (at the time) Smash 4 players. What I think makes a bad video is where they either list mechanics that are in other entries/fighters and that you'd assume would be there, if they just list general character strengths/weaknesses rather than keeping it on janky properties, or spending forever just listing how the game works. Those are really fucking boring.

[@crack4184]

UMVC3, almost

[@samcraig8533]

Funny thing is this isn’t even the worst. HNK is far more broken, where the anti-juggle mechanic designed to prevent infinites instead allows everyone to bounce their opponent like a basketball to TOD them. It’s actually kinda funny to watch matches, where there’s one interaction followed by about one minute of intense button mashing as the guy tries to keep his opponent in the combo.

[@elgordobondiola]

Even Kahn, who has like 5 good moves (one is meant for whiffing) can do a touch of death. Dash 2a into 2a is a frame perfect infinite. It's also the longest infinite in the game, if you start it late enough into the match you're going to win by time out. Meanwhile hol horse has multiple different infinite touch of death routes.

[@tsunnyyyyyy]

"[fighting game I've never played] is Broken" is a video i will click on every single time

[@ivanviera1582]

There also used to be a very funny glitch on the FC1 emu that made it so you could turn Hol and Boingo's S bullets into Boingo sprites that blocked EVERY type of hitbox or hurtbox on screen, making it so you could shit out a wall of Boingos to prevent your enemy from approaching you *at all* and softlock the game

[@modestlatios5553]

The reason why youngseph rekka is punishable is because the first hit of 5s ender is the launcher. What's even crazier is that first hit is UNTEACHABLE and if you watch guys like lamar davis play, can lead to an aja setup.

[@boki2597]

and also why it knocks down is because every launcher becomes a knockdown after 9-10 hits, you can surprisingly use DIO's 5c as a good okizame after tandem

[@Ervonesque]

Ikr why would they code the knockdown on the first hit😂 Isn't BPol has the same move on his 623x but fortunately the knockdown is on the final hit

[@LloydTheZephyrian]

My guess as to what causes the time stop glitch is that it stops the health regen between rounds, so you're essentially just leaving them on a pretty small sliver of health. I'm guessing that either "taking damage" part ends up disabling the rest of the heal, or it's only programmed to "heal" for a certain time, which is over by the time the time stop ends.

[@FlibTheBard]

I liked this video and also videos like this, and your channel, but one piece of constructive criticism I'd like to leave: A lot of the text could be on the screen for longer. I'm by no means a slow reader but a lot of the text goes by too fast to both read it and pay attention to what's going on on the screen, to the point where I was conditioned to just focus on text because I was worried I would miss something, resulting in me not really watching the video and I would have to rewind to see what the text was talking about. A good example is at 12:12 there is a line of text that is on the screen for less than a second. I'm sure its difficult to edit a video and know how long text needs to be on the screen and there is certainly a bias of how easy it is to read the text if you are the one writing it, but when you are watching a video for the first time fresh, the brain is doing double duty comprehending both the text and video and putting them both together. (a mental stack, if you will) Although I suppose it's fitting that a HFTF video runs mental mixups on the viewer given the insane pressure in the game.

[@spriterkid1997]

4:57 Correction - In the glitched Time Stop, healthbars haven't filled for *either* character, meaning any single hit will kill them after the time stop ends. This also applies to the time stoppER if the stoppee has their own timestop.

[@SinisterF.]

no wonder vanilla ice is first place in the score screen when you boot up HFTF for the first time he's fucking insane

[@TacoPluss]

AFAIK the only reason the best finisher of JY's rekka does a hard knockdown after a combo is because at that point, it triggers the built in infinite prevention that is very strangely coded - if triggered, it changes the resulting attack to become a hard knockdown to stop your combo. The way it knows to trigger the infinite prevention is coded on a move to move basis. IIRC it depends on if your combo either plainly uses a move that's coded to trigger it, or if the combo starts with it, I don't remember. It's a wack thing to play around, but kinda cool that people figured out that you just need to do certain combos to set up the rekka knockdown always, a weird kind of knowledge check

[@TacoPluss]

To clarify, a move used within a combo triggers a flag that makes combo drop after a certain amount of hits, (about 8?) and only a specific set of moves are coded to flag the combo with IPS. (infinite prevention system) I think the code, apart from being enabled on certain moves, is controlled by RNG. It's really quite interesting. And yes, there are combo loops with no IPS flagged moves. I just find it interesting that there's a character whose bread and butter combos require you to set up the finisher to trigger IPS, and it's completely consistent.

[@Pharcydeyt]

Another video for the x game is broken list!

[@Jfrost9101]

I always thought the time stop glitch wasn't dramatically increasing damage, it was freezing the enemy's health bar at 0 and thus making it so a single hit instantly killed them, since the super freezes the enemy's health bar until it finishes.

I theorize that the reason that Kakyoin was made so strong is because the devs knew they had to do him dirty in the story mode so they threw him a bone

[@Chaos_Vergil]

Fun fact: The Time Stop Glitch doesn't actually increase your damage drastically. What's really going on is that the opponent's health hasn't gone back up all of the way. Visually, the game shows that your health fully recovers before the "Fight!" graphic shows up, but the Time Stop prevents your health from going up or down until after the Time Stop is over. If you want proof of this, perform the glitch, but don't kill your opponent. Just let the Time Stop drain your meter. Once time resumes, the opponent should only have a small amount of health left. I forgot which video I saw that confirmed this, but I'll link it in the replies of this comment when I find it.

[@Chaos_Vergil]

So, I couldn't find the proper video, but if you look closely at 1:14 in this video, you'll see that Jotaro immediately activates Time Stop and blocks DIO's attack. At the same time, Jotaro's health goes down despite not taking any damage himself. That's because Jotaro's health stopped recovering thanks to the initial Time Stop. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXnLYouLaKx4aLssi=UlW_4eq_ppFGF5Wc
