Invincibility in Competitive Melee

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

[@Huggbees]

Your visuals are solidifying themselves as next level.

melee is so fucked up and intricate and complex i dont think he'll run out of stuff to talk about for at least 3 or so years

[@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]

[@Saben.C-Spoon]

yup. he has 34 frames instead of 37, just cause the devs felt like it i guess. (I learned this from another asumsaus video)

[@CuppyOSC]

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm, but you are thinking of invisibility, not invincibility

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@AspectCave]

ik right? its soo good

[@lukerydoodledoo]

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

[@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?"

[@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.

[@onlinestonedogii]

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

[@glacierwolf2155]

Falco hitting his head on the word "intangibility" shows how much quality and detail goes into these videos.

[@mayamelodyegg1607]

2:19 :)

[@AmalgamJiena]

2:19 falco bonking his head and failing to land in frame was way funnier than it should have been

[@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.

[@SilverSpireZ]

This has easily become one of my favorite channels, and I don’t even play Melee. Your production quality never ceases to amaze me!

[@raphu2272]

[@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

[@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!

[@Nub00005]

bro idk how long ive been following you but you are my favorite content creator in all of fighting games. ive never been super competitive in fighting games so alot of these advanced techniques are just beyond me. i love smashbros tho, diehard nintendo fan xD.. i watch all majors, every one of your videos has taught me so much even as a spectator its insane. thank you dude you are the goat

[@josiahmerola]

From the perspective of a spectator, not player - thank you. I understand a lot more about top level play because of this video.

[@michaelbowman6684]

Another one for the history books, thank you for blessing us once again with knowledge of Melee techniques. You are a real one, these videos have so much effort put into them and are deserving of all the praise they get.

[@Cormy1]

Jesus. I've never tried to study melee and just casually watched tournaments for years and had no idea you could land quicker with aerials. I feel like it's never mentioned?! Anyway thanks for these amazingly informative videos. This is the kind of stuff I used to follow Hax for, but his last year of content has been nearly exclusively about his melee 1.03 mod and FAR more subtle aspects of melee that border on inhuman precision, as well as subjective perspectives on how they should be treated. Straight documentation like this is so much more enjoyable.

@AsumSaus It's really great when you include competitive gameplay as examples of what you're talking about! They are always great moment (especially if the commentators react to it!) and showcase super well how the tech can be an asset during top level fights. In fact, if you ever run out of material (which I doubt), it could be great to see you deconstruct specific tournament matches that were swayed by difficult exploits performed in real time. Btw the segment of Hbox abusing the edge against against Wizzy at the very end is peak (and deserved) arrogance. Really glad Wizzy stopped doing it so much. With this plus taking forever between matches, it was really annoying to see him delay the game all the time despite being very good. Much more enjoyable to see play in the last 1-2 years!
