So okay I really thought about sneaking in a Metal Gear Revengeance meme in this video but then I thought about it and I felt like it wouldn't land with the Melee audience?
From my (limited?) experience I feel like the people who are hardcore into Melee (I feel like if you're watching a Melee highlight video you fall into this category) then you're less likely to be interested in "popular culture" memes.
Moreover, I'd say at this point the Revengeance memes have sort of come and gone? Like we're past peak popularity at this point. I think people would still understand them (like Thanos memes) but they're past their prime. But unlike older memes, it feels like if I did put a Revengeance meme in here it could be seen as me chasing trends and being "late to the party".
Whereas if I say... put in a Dark Knight meme, then it's pretty clear that I'm not chasing current trends but rather I'm just a fan of the Dark Knight.
My two cents on thoughts on memes.
I'll also quickly throw in here that I think the best DC movies are better than the best Marvel movies. I was going to call this a hot take but I'm not sure if this is a hot take - the best DC movies are really, really good in my opinion and I'm sure a number of you would agree.
I do not own these clips! They're from Double Down 2022!

The year of Yoshi is upon us. And I’m going to be there for it.

[@Frudgey]

I really do feel like aMSa has it in him to win a major. Like, I don't think it's going to be easy but after this I'm convinced he can do it.

[@survivor45661]

@@Frudgey 100% Amsa was playing a broken controller

[@matthewpelletier4485]

That scoop at 2:08 is so filithy

[@Frudgey]

aMSa busted out some Yoshi tech this tournament that bewildered me - he's got a crazy Yoshi, man. Thanks for watching Matthew!

[@buttpiratesbuttpirate5913]

Egg lay into egg throw arcing it behind because he knew he'd mash out AMSA IS BUILT DIFFERENT

[@Frudgey]

Yeah no kidding. aMSa really is a force of nature, ain't he?

[@MaZe741]

its incredible to see how much amsa improved even throughout the day, absolutely insane. his reads on so many different players just becoming better and better

[@Frudgey]

Yeah aMSa has really improved - it's quite the sight to see! I thought he was good back then, and now he's even better - it's pretty cool to see! Thanks for watching the video Random Schmid!

[@xrazmatazx]

Idk who the commentators were but they did a great job imo! Made it really hype and you could tell they were super invested in the games Amsa is sick!!

[@Frudgey]

Agreed that aMSa is sick! Great commentary can't be appreciated enough. For me it can really make or break the enjoyment of the games being cast. Good commentators add A LOT. Thanks for watching N8!

[@defibillytor6639]

Heartbreaking

[@Frudgey]

That was definitely a sad finish to the series! Still though, that proves to me that aMSa can do it! Thanks for watching Defibillytor!

"From my (limited?) experience I feel like the people who are hardcore into Melee (I feel like if you're watching a Melee highlight video you fall into this category)..." Really? It seems like highlight videos would be what people who *aren't* hardcore into Melee would watch. Like, if someone who's into Melee is going to recommend a Melee video to a friend to watch, they would probably either recommend: A. A hype set (like Axe vs Silentwolf or smth), or 2. A highlight video. Just my thoughts, I haven't been in the place of not into Melee or recommending it to a friend in a long time.

[@k1kk0ssbm13]

I would recommend this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWbQeamgfdiBhbM but only if you have a strong spirit.

[@Frudgey]

I mean ultimately it comes down how you define what a "hardcore" Melee fan. For me, anyone who follows the pro scene of any game is someone I'd define as "hardcore". I agree with your assessment that highlight videos or hype sets would be something that's recommended to someone who isn't really familiar to Melee. So, in that sense you might be right. However, I think for MOST of the people watching this, I'd argue they're probably well acquainted with the pro scene and the players. The other "angle" of hardcore is the amount of time you invest into something - so maybe someone plays Melee, but they only do Adventure mode, but they put in 4 hours a day or something. I think I'd also call that person "hardcore", but of course people might have different opinions!
