It's not the same as a real life fight, you watch your percent and you can tell exactly how far/high someone will fly from each of your moves. Which can tell you if a move can be combo'ed into or if it can be used to kill. Example: with different characters, If you up threw someone at 100%, and that specific character will die at exactly 100% from that character's u throw, but the knockback is set to 0.9, they are no longer at 100%, but instead 90%! Which will no longer kill. While I understand that both characters were dealt the same hand, 0.9 knockback. I could never agree with anyone that it was fair, since for the newer player, they are at a slight advantage over the veteran player. A great and practiced player will know exactly how much knockback they will deal, changing the values is the same as handicapping someone.

@MeatSnax4 жыл бұрын
I kind of see Armada in a different light after his comments about the match. He has a good case for being the greatest Melee player of all time, and it kind of feels like he was taking away a pretty legitimate win from another really great player. Armada considers it a really big accomplishment to have never been beaten in a bo5 by any American players outside the top 6, and SilentSpectre probably feels the same way about his own win over Armada. If SS had practiced the peach matchup for months on end at 0.9 and then somehow changed the damage ratio without anyone noticing, that would obviously invalidate his accomplishment, but I don't think that's the case. The mature thing to do for Armada would be to say that maybe it wasn't strictly tournament legal, but both players were playing on equal footing and SS won the set fair and square. That's just my takeaway though. Great vid!

It shouldn't matter to him if SS gets some shine.

A loss is a loss. If it's not caught and corrected within a specific time frame relevant to the tournament itself, then it's a match that counts simply because both parties agreed to played the set. Sure, both of them didn't know or noticed this at the time, but how can you say that "the only way to make it count" is to have them replay it today in 2020 when not only do both of them have years of experience they didnt have at the time, but also won't change the fact that Armada went to Loser's Bracket and ultimately ended at 4th. We can only do better and make sure to check the game rules before agreeing to play each and every set to prevent this scenario from ever repeating again.

It's unfortunate whenever anything like this happens in Melee. But I think it is stupid to have player replay matches unless they both agree to it. I mean the winner should want to replay the set, but I don't think they should be forced to. These kind of things happen outside of esports too. For example filling up a football too much or there being an irregular hole in the field or something. You don't see them replaying a football game.

True, but stuff that would’ve happened on 1.0 could’ve changed the outcome of the match. In .9: Peach: Down Smash and aerials don’t kill as early, the forced tumble from up throw that could’ve led to a combo or a chain grab isn’t possible. Falcon: General kill moves don’t kill as early, makes it easier to combo into knee confirms since Peach is thrown a shorter distance for a longer stretch of %, being sent a shorter distance helps him recover easier until later %’s than usual (Peach doesn’t matter as much since she has a very horizontal recovery and can make it back easier than Falcon). There are other things I’m sure, but I don’t play Melee much, just watch it a lot. I personally think the .9 KB helped Silentspectre more than Armada. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

so how would these settings even be changed, given the Tournament location? i mean, doesnt it show "Custom Melee" vs "Free-For-All" on the Character-Select screen or something? who changed the Damage Ratio to 0.9?

Armada shouldn’t try it. It would surely end in a Wombo Combo.

Bro what about wispy woods blowing in the background during the up throw? Does that change anything somehow?

For the knock down though, in all the test videos the tree wasn’t blowing wind. Only the original video.
@turndownforwalt3 жыл бұрын
Wispy doesn't impact Damage Ratio, so it didn't matter if the tree was blowing or not for the TAS. Good observation though!

I mean it happened like 9 years ago imo we should just let it go and let the guy who beat armada have his win he fought well and he deserves credit for beating armada.

I'd be interested in seeing a TAS recreation of that knee at 4:45 with 1.0 damage ratio though. Js.

Sorry I'm late. But the TAS does not match the clip. The wind is blowing and Peach is moving a little to the side as she hits. When in TAS she doesn't move. I'm probably the 600th asshole to mention this, plus I have no idea if it really changes anything, but we're talking about 0.1, so there you go. PS: I'm neutral on the situation, I just wanted to point that out to get a clear answer.
@turndownforwalt3 жыл бұрын
Those are good points but they ultimately don't affect the issue of an incorrect damage ratio -- really all we would need to consider is the grab itself. Thanks for the comment!

It doesn’t really make any sense to me to speculate that this win should be overturned even in our head canon. This match really wasn’t similar to Zack and Komorikiri’s set at Genesis, the main reason being that there was a specific point in the match where a stock almost certainly would have been lost, swinging the set, if the settings had been at 1.0. Granted, you could theorize and say that if SS had splatted or teched on the platform after the up throw, Armada could have built a lot of damage and, more importantly, momentum, and you could very easily be right, but we would literally be making up the events of a match in our heads from that point on, largely unlike the potential situation at Genesis. That’s not to say that nothing else in Zack and Komo’s match was affected, because of course that’d be wrong. But the matter is, SS was hard reading people all day, including Armada, and it is evident he played well enough to win that match with or the without being caught in one tech chase on a platform, even if some things would have been different at 1.0.

My dude, I love your videos, but do you really need so many ads? Don't get me wrong, the content is amazing, but an ad every 5 minutes is a little bit upsetting. All things considered, it's still a great video, and I hope you keep up the good work!
@turndownforwalt4 жыл бұрын
I have the ads set to place automatically, so that’s not normally something I even look at. I’m pretty sure it places them in dead areas between chapters to minimize intrusion, but sorry about that!

So there's only that one throw that people are saying was 0.9? The game has quite a few glitches and bugs. Could that not just be one moment of a jank game being janky?
