Ludwig is Back

[@Lozzu]

Finally, their editor is back

[@Parpeing]

The quality of the videos was truly hurting Feels so good to have ludwig's editing and creative footprints all over this one, so glad hes back!

[@hnazgul]

If I were to compare this Reads episode to every other Reads episode ever, I would have to say - this video is just *that* edited.

[@famerhacker]

he got bullied for holding the controller like a nerd LOL. how many years since that video?

[@zaqw1111]

Scar really let himself go, sad to see

[@mjohnson2807]

Yeah after he joined offline tv and stopped playing smash he seems like a different person

[@lloydirving6209]

crazy to say this when lud is very noticeably in way better shape than scar

[@Silverado-pq6xe]

@@lloydirving6209there goes the joke! right over your head

[@andrewferguson6901]

Get scar mango lud on commentary so mango has to be the slower analytical one

No lie it is really awesome to see lud still so engaged with the melee community despite all his success. And he’s looking shredded

[@TheMacaroniPanda]

It's really amazing, I started watching Ludwig because i was in the melee community, but I know a lot of people who got into smash because of Ludwig. It's great

[@Benisuber1]

he's in great shape but.... shredded??

[@Sonick92]

​@@Benisuber1the US is so fat that any definition is shredded.

[@davidl1112]

he's gotten so big for us

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

This is why I love Ludwig. When he blew up I thought he would abandon the scene but no he has done nothing but try and help. So happy to see him back even if it's only one episode

[@mcjoules]

I appreciate Toph being real and vulnerable at the end. I went through something similar at the end of 22. Best of luck!

[@SneeZSmash]

This is the show I discovered Ludwig on, crazy to see him back.

[@tokisuno]

atrioc too

[@greenoftreeblackofblue6625]

I didn't find him via this show and that's crazy since when I was into melee like that I was into this show.

[@tokisuno]

@@greenoftreeblackofblue6625 oh honestly same. i knew off him from the show but started watching him because of lud. it's funny looking back at old reads/scar and toph show eps and seeing people ludwig/smash adjacent just hanging around. LMAO

[@elcriadoporlobos7935]

me too bro

[@sdw-hv5ko]

ngl I got a little emotional at 7:42 when toph said "edit this part out, ludwig"

[@LazyLee]

This editor is pretty funny, he should consider streaming

[@noahmay7708]

Tutorial island joke well done

[@Smash_cash11]

Toph's openess about the marriage and possible child made me have to drop a sub. Dont watch often, but this man is moving for the right reasons

[@bolshevikY2K]

That entire Falco set was that guy thinking "WHAT IS HE COOKING" every time Ludwig got his hands on the controller and I was absolutely eating it up

[@andrewferguson6901]

Lud makes the right decision, a bit slowly. Toph makes good decisions as fast as he can

[@memesfor1192]

"that guy" lmao

[@JigChu7]

Glad to see you gave another chance to the editor to be on The Reads, he should be thankful.

[@augustdahlkvist3998]

They must be running out of guests if the "special guest" is the editor

[@tracystallworth1239]

Toph you are the sentimental side of melee that’s your lane you are able to really be yourself and vulnerable and that’s real and you’re able to bring that out of other players and we need that content to really be able to connect to the players and view them more as people. You will find your way you’ve been in the scene for so long that your presence and experience alone are valuable

[@spartainjeffer]

Wow raw conversation with the boys, feels good man knowing how they came up and where they wanna go.

[@ADavidJohnson]

17:38 Ludwig saying, “Do you think Melee is dying?” but it’s that dance scene from the Barbie movie

[@LANBobYonson]

Melee players every January

[@SKITZ_MONEY]

"is our editor a f*cking puff player?" - leverage

[@MC-uj5gg]

Great episode! Loved to hear the candid discussion with Ludwig and Toph too! Congrats on getting married Toph!

[@ERFMXVCC]

Glad to see y'all give some exposure to a small time creator like your former Editor.

[@MegaStunfiskandHat]

oh hey it's my favorite pools commentator/bobby scar impersonator, I wonder what he's been up to

[@nogard0497]

Glad to see Spencer getting some camera time!

[@Degenerate_o7]

Dude! Love the real ass talk in this, love the motivation, love the melee.

[@wwhammy1721]

Watching Ludwigs come up from slimes friend and editor of the reads to now was crazy fr

[@mosieurboyz2]

the reads introduced me to ludwig, glad to see him back and so big for us, bigger than ever

[@monkeyduhluffy]

very cool to see the editor back, his moments of screen time are always good

[@MrDrBoi]

Really enjoyed the conversations after the set.

[@jacoblunchbox9499]

what a great episode, we are lucky to have people like lud and toph in the community. i also wish more top players streamed more or made content. it would do great things for the community

[@RayeedW]

The first time Lud was on the reads was the first time I started watching him this is crazy to see him back

[@MercMercury]

Wow, I just discovered this channel, really cool show you are putting on here. You two were putting that Falco in mind-game hell hahaha I hope to get there one day too! Nice real-talk here, looking forward to checking out more of these :D

[@MrTacoKingMC]

toph youll be supported everywhere man, good luck in whatever u choose to do regarding content / life

[@GetOffMyLog]

Sorry to hear about the unfortunate luck toph, wish you luck! Ill be here no matter what!

[@ssbm-icarus]

Literally picked up Melee this week-- this is a sign.

[@gary0163]

Love you toph best wishes in your endeavors

[@Choa]

Excited to see what the future holds for you Toph! Thanks for another great vid!

[@Trebor424]

We come back full circle

[@derekdixon7731]

Looking forward for your next chapters, thanks boys

[@ERFMXVCC]

Poor Ludwig coming back after his streaming career was rather unsuccessful

[@mister-sheep]

I learned Ludwig's name from The Reads and the roast of Hugo Gonzalez. This video makes me so happy.

[@ricardorizzovalverde2933]

same :)

[@Duffy_SSBM]

I love how in the last stock of the reverse main games all the banter goes away and is just replaced with shrieks and exclamations

[@Extension_cord11]

Dubbin

[@DuringDark]

he's so big for us

[@Die.Trying]

Hearing names like “Joey Donuts” being said unironically makes the melee community so much more real

[@Reverbiration]

13:43 is pure comedy, toph's commentator's curse is too strong.

[@MegMayo-k8p]

i feel like not enough people are talking about how much lud's fox was cookin,,,his fox faced Toph's puff so much better than i was expecting. good shit

[@wonkywombat12]

it is really cool to see Ludwig still down to do stuff like this, despite the fact that like, his own brand and whatnot is bigger than the entire melee community

[@benjaminshields9421]

Toph getting confused at 9:07 about how Lud holds his controller makes this whole ass video for me

[@dusky6280]

Rare Coots Melee moment feels good man

[@chrimptos]

The Reads early on is definitely the first time i'd ever heard of Ludwig, really funny to see how that turned out

[@funkagi]

maybe we gotta get slime on the reads now if what ludwig says is true

[@kojimmy09]

do you guys remember during the first few episodes where the intro music was as twice the volume of the rest of the video?

[@KimballDonald]

The editor pulling out the AZ Faxe special, the down throw tech chase!

[@BlueShifted]

Lud looking pretty good I cannot lie

[@Shelg0n]

It's nice of Scar & Toph to give their editor his own episode

[@Hyajae]

I love that lud is still in the credits. Just, eternally

[@justsomeguy7042]

You finally put it into words. My fox isn’t bad, it’s just a taijutsu specialist.

[@hasanahmed1926]

Great thumbnail on this one, your editor is doing a good job!

[@cameroni3696]

LONG HAVE WE WAITED, THE EDITOR IS BACK

[@monorail0]

You're still one of the best Toph! You can make something work

[@koitsuga]

Will Neff is an enemy of melee

[@one-arm-bandit]

OH SNAP THE READS SIGNED TO MOIST MOGULS MELEE

[@GaudyZak0o]

Love to see the old editor! Glad he got replaced tho, new editor has some real talent

[@LeonSantillana]

Suspiciously silent about the falcon punch

[@rsdudetsom]

i hope he comes back with scar the trio would be sick to see :)

[@jet468]

THE EDITOR RETURNS

[@RaTTfunK]

He is back!!!

[@BeansEnjoyer911]

This deserves to pop off, just some great melee with some dudes

[@stone5252]

It's still so funny to me that all these years later this goober ass kid 'friend of slime' is now more famous than like, the entire melee scene.

[@DaveRobinson.]

I'm so happy to see this was uploaded. What a good day.

[@muaaadib]

why is bro holding the controller like that

[@VegaVibing]

I'm not gonna go and check but I do remember watching Lud vs Atrioc race to gold. I think they hit it at the same time and were withing like .05 points so they did a 1v1 to settle it and atrioc won. Could totally be inventing the ending though.

[@kaska456]

Ludwig is as good at melee as joe rogan is at stand up comedy. Plus they both support their hobbies with money made elsewhere.

[@maiyorha]

he is so big for us

[@sobman]

18:00 melee isn't a lot of people's main hobby. the event was at a time of the year where a lot of events were happening, both in the esports scene and at home. melee just ins't in a spot to usurp another hobby/grind that someone has going on. i would just say it needs to be a little earlier or not at all. melee season should be spring-fall and not spring-end of the year.

[@iPlayDrums025]

Appreciate you Toph, all love ❤

[@Mcmos9000]

I love how Ludwig just takes the intro, he’s so KZbin-pilled

[@MICHELANGELO_JR.]

It’s funny cuz I just listen to the yard and Aiden neeeeevvvveeerrrr brings up his results so I always wonder how well he’s been doing. Guys so humble. Wonder if it’s cause he thinks like if I’m lot top 8 it ain’t worth even talking about it

[@dewgyhouserm.d.4224]

I can’t believe we get an episode with the old editor. I wonder what he’s been up to

[@LordFartamor]

shoutout to the reads

[@helious_music]

one of my favorite ludwig moments on the reads was when he was allowed to have an episode and scar made fun of him for holding his controller like a t-rex rofl edit: found it, miss having lud on the reads! this show is so sick, ty for continuing to make it kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHaaqxqn72BftE

[@kellydanen3002]

Aimen on the reads next?

[@IBQ1]

It's surreal watching this, I had to go and check the origins, so Ludwig used to edit for this channel? Seeing him in what seems like his natural habitat

[@sebz8362]

lud and toph love to see it

[@natekurt]

Holy moly Lud is looking yolked

[@meat55]

lud still showing up here and there for the melee scene is so so so great. love to see it

[@Busmanpwns]

7:42 loooool good bit by toph

[@noddingout]

Ludwig would’ve had the little top 500 emblem if melee was overwatch

[@miscellanea3104]

ludwig actually had a way better understanding of colorblindness than most people ive met lmao

[@devinwright3276]

Luddy is back to pick up a W-2

[@chiefkeith5641]

Lud looking good!

[@TrevsTreehouse]

I think Ludwig was doing better against that Falco because he was standing in place fullhopping and then, mixing up the drift. Whereas Toph was mainly dash dancing and that's a lot easier for Falco to deal with when hes using lasers.

[@andrewstephens7246]

Smash is the only thing I want to hear at Ludwig talk about

[@carloszagal1934]

rooting for you Toph😎😤

[@keceti9606]

lmao why lud hold his controller like that

[@MattBaker-o7]

BABE!!!!! THE GUYS ON THE SCREEN DOING THE THING, THEY’RE BACK
