I love how he uses the whole cast of characters for his demonstrations and not just top tiers. It’s the little things.

[@hmmmmmmmmmm_]

The Little things = half the cast

[@froggyl7472]

I don’t see why anyone would only use top tiers to demonstrate things. It’s simple demonstrations, tiers don’t effect that in the slightest.

[@Jbatch85]

I main Link so fuck yeah!

[@Miriam_J_]

@@froggyl7472 You don't see why top tiers would be used to show off things in Melee? Are you sure about that, dude? Think about it real hard

[@eightmillionmaddies]

I also like that of all the characters, he uses Falco to represent himself because that’s his main. It makes sense, but it just adds some extra personality and gives us a face (sort of) to the voice

[@mattchu2219]

Fun fact about link, he has less frames of cliff wait compared to every other character meaning he can let go of ledge earlier than the rest of this cast. This makes his double jump ledge refresh relatively easy compared to everyone else.

[@somerandombub]

It doesn't make it easier to have full intangibility, though, as the intangibility he gets is shortened just as much. It only makes the frame-perfect pattern you have to follow have a quicker beat than other characters.

[@mattchu2219]

True

[@dmlgaming1783]

Same

[@DootNootem]

On the topic of Mr. Game & Watch's nose intangibility... They didn't forget to give it to him. Rather, Mr. Game & Watch's head and nose hurtbox share the same bone attachment ID which is used for a lot of tasks in the program, one of which is to determine which hurtboxes to apply intangibility to. The problem? After finding the first ID in the list of hurtboxes to apply intangibility, the game ignores all subsequent hurtboxes sharing that same ID and exits the function. In this case: Mr. Game & Watch's head and nose hurtboxes are both attached to bone 20, but since the head hurtbox comes first, the nose is ignored and so would anything else after it on bone 20.

[@ExtremeBirdTypography]

I'm in the camp of not being interested in competitive Melee (I played a lot casually as a kid) but being endlessly fascinated by the minute details that make everything so situational.

[@sensudubs4421]

Same. The nuance of such an old game is fascinating. It makes me think "what else am I missing from games I've played?"

[@Sbeben1]

"Think about it like Raiden punching Armstrong" a more helpful analogy has never been made for me.

[@ekian111]

Dude, galint was one of those things I just couldn't wrap my head around as a casual Melee enjoyer, and you just explained it in a manner that makes total sense. Great stuff as always

[@BrandonPlaysStuff]

One of my favorite things about this channel is that, despite the semi-inconsistency of the frequency of these videos, these videos and their heavy editing have high amounts of effort put into it and as such, are also very binge-worthy. :) This is one of my favorite channels on KZbin.

[@TheEvilCheesecake]

I'd always rather get a great video once a month than three low effort ones a week.

[@neinja66469]

Good content takes a lot of time to make including the editing and the extensive research displayed here

[@Choochinc]

I still find it hilarious that G&W's up smash has head intangibility but not nose intangibility. I didn't know Fox and Falco also lacked snoot and beak intangibility on the same move.

[@mcbanana1473]

the small edits like frame counters or quickly showcasing hitboxes are amazing. interesting for veterans and super useful for beginners, simply excellent mr saus

[@Ludvix]

bro ur editing is going above and beyond its actually nuts great video once again!

[@Dorriedude]

ik right? its soo good

[@lukers0n]

i wonder what game he makes videos about!!! still tryna figure that out

[@jujt2258]

The easiest way to get invisibility is just to turn the screen off

[@ShibuNub3305]

Nonono, that’s illegal according to the ruleset. What you actually do is discretely blind the other player during the set.

[@BWoodRap]

I never played Melee competitively. But I absolutely love your content and have been hooked since I first found you forever ago. I was a child when I played Melee. I spent thousands of hours on the game. Never figured out wavedashing or anything cool, just played the game for the enjoyment of playing. Almost entirely solo, as I had nobody to play with growing up, but I still had fun. I will forever love the Smash series. I play Ultimate with my own son nowadays. It's a lot of fun.

[@JacobSC_]

It's crazy how deep the mechanics of Melee are, there is literally a 14 minute video explaining different ways to speed up landings and achieve invincibility.

[@zapoww]

ikr

[@online1041]

Genuinely the pinnacle of video editing and pacing. Always a joy to see your channel in my feed

[@nishthedish]

Your music choices always make me smile. I really wasn't expecting the 2011 "Originape Soundtrack" version of Specter's Castle from Ape Escape to explain invincibility and intangibility! You pick lots of relaxing sounds from less common sources that create a very cozy and genuinely casual atmosphere. It makes all the "competitive Melee" talk very inviting for those of us who generally would stay far away from it. You're not trying to prove anything or say "this is why this is the best/better than this other thing"...not even in the passive backhanded way a lot of gaming personalities and content creators always do. Your demeanor and friendliness are GREATLY appreciated as they enhance ypur humor and observations and your editing has true personality all its own. Bravo!

[@frogchip6484]

here's a couple bowser gimmicks i wish were well known: bowser's nair interrupt can be used to gain 9 frames of GALINT on battlefield (very hard) bowser's frame perfect aerial up b gives him a NIL on battlefield's side plats which allows grab techchase followups that he previously is too slow to do bowser can make it to dreamland's side platforms by doing a waveland off the stage and instantly jumping towards stage, this is also a NIL bowser can backair off ledge and ledgecancel to cover a lot of recoveries but it's insanely hard

[@NintenJoe]

Legend has it that frogchip can be found in the comments of every melee video on KZbin posting niche bowser tech

[@smackssbm1256]

For those wondering, Yoshi eggstall always has AT LEAST one frame of vulnerability, which is why it wasn't mentioned here (as well as other niche stuff) compared to his other fully intangible options (down b stall, ledgedash, AI, haxdash). Shame though, feels like it would have had its place in this video.
