Melee's (Tournament Legal) Item Jank

[@rekd1965]

Aklo went on to tweet that he discovered this when he was a kid and has done it ever since, which is pretty cool lol

[@BeazerProductions]

I love that Aklo has turned Link into his actual response to Marth.

[@zookz45]

Link's always been a good response to Marth

[@gabriellynch2764]

As he was meant to be.

[@Deadgye]

1:29 One slight clarification: The stale move queue tracks the last 9 moves that the char connected with. Link could connect with Up-B and then bomb jump in the same stock if he hits enough other moves to push Up-B out of the stale queue.

[@FBWalshyFTW]

I'm consistently blown away by how 200 IQ pro Melee players can get.

[@djspflytnt]

so not saying this isn't completely badass, but the way phraser is portraying it does make it a bit more wizardry than it probably really is i'd imagine every link main knows that optimal bomb jumps only work if 1) you havent up-B'd that stock yet and 2) you gotta hit the bomb on your head and the end of your up-B and then the boomerang / bomb thing is either labbed, or maybe he just randomly found it while edgeguarding one day and decided to put it in his kit I'm just so happy mid tiers are getting love. next year is going to be so sick

[@beardalaxy]

@@djspflytnt In Project M you can bounce bombs off boomerang all the time, so I wonder if some Link players saw that and just wondered if they could do it in melee consistently

[@BK_Ben_FTW]

Seeing old school Halo pros in a melee video is super trippy for me.

[@ricinaddict]

@@beardalaxy aklo said he discovered the bomberang trick when he was 4 LOL

[@traycarrot]

@@djspflytnt I mean, the point of the channel is finding small moments that display ridiculous aspects of the game. ICs slideoff shield thing to cover ledge is surely something unintuitive to most, yet ICs main probably have this labbed out. I fail to see what your comment is getting at. Of course the handful of people in the know about certain interactions... know about them?

[@Gender_Ascender]

Jesus that's a clean summary of all of this. I saw you on Walt's channel earlier and am very hype that you're getting more traction. Exceptional quality content.

[@daikatarokamegawa542]

Love how in the final KO they both nod in agreement: "beat fair and square with a hard to pulloff tactic."

[@Celia_Dawn]

Aklo: "Yeah I discovered this when I was 4 years old"

[@closelytoasty]

the fact that aklo can register this all in less than 10 seconds and i cant even after 5 minutes really shows what makes a top player

[@The_SOB_II]

Learning is like that sometimes

[@Qril]

Another hype Melee Moment, let's go!! Gotta love Link's ridiculous bomb shenanigans.

[@thegoodgeneral]

Something quite AsumSaus about the presentation of this video. Keep it up, looking forward to seeing more!

[@boopmeister_]

the editing here is absolutely phenomenal, really looking forward to more videos in the future

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

Anything involving Link, you know it's gonna be a certified Melee Moment™.

[@queuedjar4578]

considering that Link in one patch could ghost arrow the entire game and steal entire textures from the UI with his bow, yes he is the certified Melee Man.

[@Sherizati]

I hope this channel absolutely blows up and gets a million subscribers. This content is always top notch.

[@TalonTheRetroGamer]

This is a really clean, professional-looking video and I like how focused and concise it was

[@oldenoughtowatchify]

after watching every video of yours, I have the same reaction. putting my hands to my head and just yelling "THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOOOOOOD"

[@Doctessa]

I dont watch much Melee but these videos are so well done and interesting, keep em coming!

[@yangarza]

some of the best videos out there, seriously - killin it ~

[@mystraunt2705]

Dude this channel is awsome. He wasted no time and just explains mechanics quickly and concisely. Keep up the good work!

[@Silverado-pq6xe]

New melee moments babe wake up

[@Dooradox]

Absolutely fantastic video and editing. Keep up the great work~!!

[@TakuwanOnMelee]

editing is so insane. i love this channel

[@timnoskill]

this is by far away my fav of your videos, all of which are some of my favorites on youtube. bravo!

[@QualifiedUmbrella]

Unreal how well made these videos are. Love the content

[@rafaelarevalo8047]

oh baby this one was so good. fantastic stuff again. how can you condense all of this so quickly lol

[@vegamode8706]

Going to comment on every video because this channel is great.

[@jazzabellharper2972]

You’re great

[@jangb98]

the way you incorporated the new blender camera movement is actual art. amazing video as always! 🙌

[@PurpSSB]

this was a great choice to make a video about this! Never stop making these!

[@Roule_n_Scratche]

How did I not discover this channel before? Editing is super clean and very very high quality. Definitely going to check more of your content EDIT: subscribed, insanely high quality content

[@RosarioFanpire]

God I love these so much, once you get a nice amount of these, make a compilation for like 15-20 minutes and I will 100% rewatch

[@coriamon123]

This is much cleaner than explaining ALL of the jank behind link's bombs. Great stuff!

[@dauzen2310]

great video. love your editing style.

[@jacobl4699]

Every video is an absolute banger

[@Shiradrenaline]

What an INSANE application of staling (or lack thereof). This is nuts! Great video as usual.

[@hps362]

These videos get better every time!

[@nathanmadox3364]

your zoom ins of the melee nods are fucking iconic

[@heterodoxagnostic8070]

i'm so glad we have another asum saus type, as he doesn't upload much, only you do your own thing as well sometimes, which is great!

[@darbleyy6597]

This video was insanely well made

[@HunyBearLink]

Another bomb fact. You see how the bomb bounces toward aklo? Thats because when hit, the bomb will always bounce in the opposite direction link is facing when the pulled the bomb. If aklo were facing left when he pulled the bomb and that same interaction were to have happened by ledge. The bomb would have bounced to the right and not hit Kodorin

[@equinox3861]

Wow thanks for that info

[@ekoelk1363]

Fantastic video! Quick, straight to the point, informative with some great editing!

[@MarMaxGaming]

My gosh, your editing! Magnificent job

[@huxodahlen9547]

This is the coolest melee video I've ever seen :))

[@kyle3817]

Bros pumping these vids out! Dude you’re killing it

[@GimR]

take my like

[@AspectCave]

this has to be my fav so far :) keep it up, you are so underrated!

[@emmbeesea]

This is a primary example of "Melee Never Lies". Here's to more jank to come and more hype to come from it!

[@ForeverAbroad]

This is the best melee youtube channel....

[@susparia4724]

this channel is like the mini version of asumsaus, and i really like it :)

[@swissmagic]

Keep making these, super entertaining

[@kennythekid130]

Aklo is the GOAT of link at this point, Germ and Sixx couldn't do this

[@aidanmcconnell5638]

love hearing Jacob Mann big band with melee:)

[@FlameIsLucky]

The first clip was so hype. Let's go Aklo

[@present2060]

Insane moment, insane editing

[@scapegoat4]

I was waiting for someone to cover this, aklo's link is legit

[@jazzabellharper2972]

“Link’s powerful head” Mmhmm

[@berryb5476]

so excited to see you utiziling that external camera tool. great content as always ❤️

[@Swing_Bonnie]

Don't mind me, just another individual gushing on how effective his editing is

[@noved15]

That is what I called bomb guard. I almost pulled it out on Hungrybox at in some friendlies at EVO 2015. This was my first big tournament and he was playing people if they had some money to put up. I think I had some cash and meekly said I'd play him next with my trash Link. I didn't, also didn't realize I could just pay to play the best players in the world. I was losing my shit when I saw Aklo pull that out. Good on you to point out the bomb jump, I've managed to get it half the time but he was hitting it every time. Incredible.

[@sagacious03]

Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

[@alexg111]

wow i can’t believe a melee video is the first time i’ve seen a jacob mann song in the wild

[@Blorfus4394]

Love your videos, looking forward to the ones to come.

[@WesleyFiles]

I wanted to send this moment to you in the hopes that you'd cover it. You're on top of it 🤩

[@Tihizzle10101]

melee moments hitting again great video dude

[@mala7116]

holy what was this editing, this is crazy quality

[@gomjabbar6246]

Look youtube algorithm, I am engaged and wanting this channel to be recommended.

[@gravityvertigo13579]

God damn this is cool, another terrific video

[@nicocchi]

This isn't just Melee specific jank, this goes beyond and is just complete and utter mastery of the character's mechanics and you could very well pull it off in other Smash games, but no other game has a community so crazily dedicated to its game than Melee, especially enough to think about the clip for more than a couple minutes and investigate how crazy precise this is. Seriously if I saw some Young Link do these bomb shenanigans in Ultimate I'd just go "huh I guess he can do that" rather than "god damn he did this incredibly precise crazy maneuver that's only possible with very specific timing, positioning, and *also* strict planning to never let your move be stale when you need it"

[@SpiralBiscuit]

Another amazing video! Where do you get the assets of just the melee character models and the camera tools? I see Asumsaus also has these a lot in his videos, and they look amazing!

[@isaac8441]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmS2dmdpibaqgqc here's Asumsaus explaining how to edit a bit

[@phillipsullivan9614]

Absolutely amazing video!

[@TalonsII]

Great editing. Great music. Great breakdown.

[@xatudrip]

i love your taste in music so much

[@ryanv5326]

when I see a new Melee Moments video, I stop what I'm doing and watch...

[@Jshmoor]

This channel is sick idk how I haven't seen it yet

[@roboticismRus]

great song with an even better message

[@parkermarker742]

at a high enough speed he says, it feels like literally any speed lol

[@HiIh76]

I'm pretty sure the other way to do a bombjump is to get the sour spot of the up+b that knocks the bomb into you.

[@Geekiie]

Babe, wakeup. There's a new Melee Moments video!

[@butoboi7508]

i love ur editing style

[@Doomxeen]

Played a crew battle in Austin, Texas in 2006 against a Link who could do the Bomb Jump 90+% of the time. When we saw his crew warming up, he was just hitting it over and over in practice.

[@rayzamarripajr.7571]

The second technique is actually quite difficult. Super impressive on Aklos part. Can't wait too see more Link

[@MichaelElkan]

Fantastic video as always

[@awogbob]

production value is insane

[@logknees]

AND THE JACOB MANN dude this rules

[@TheIdiothead]

Ayyyyy Jacob Mann music is so good

[@bibby4791]

love your videos man

[@Bones_]

Just shows once again how much harder low tiers have to work to compete. Link can't use one of his strongest kills moves on stage or he risks not having access to his best recovery option

[@justaguy193]

Yess asumsaus 2 now I can enjoy more high quality content Edit:your content is very similar and very good like asum saus

[@yummyos]

Is that kellz’s melee camera add on for blender I see? This whole vid is Beautiful man nice work

[@kyledabearsfan]

That link play is mind blowing lol

[@Derflabals]

as a young link player seeing a video about bomb jank is very nice

[@perrierrefresher554]

Wonderful editing, the explanations are nice and easy as well. All I would recommend is a different song being played in the background. One more relaxed and doesn’t sound so much like elevator music

[@loladoessomething9086]

OMG THE EDITING 💖💖💖💖

[@thriwaway7865]

This video was beautifully edited.

[@helious_music]

dude your videos are so sick what

[@tree2992]

I didn't know about the head sweetspot thing. Nutty.

[@nicedude22]

My favorite part was the zoom on simultaneous nods

[@adamtorrie5938]

I love jacob mann big band

[@DasGoodSoup]

I dont even play alot of melee but damn these videos are good

[@jakezepeda1267]

I'm curious how many people genuinely didn't know about the boomerang bomb thing.

[@sandycoin]

another amazing video

[@Luke-nx1pb]

This was cool! Thx for sharing
