[@VectormanRxQueen]

4:27 the cut off was funny with the missle hitting Ness

[@BaufenBeast]

At 1:30 the commentators mentioned that Jigglypuff didn't have time to mash, but you can't mash out of Kirby's up-throw. Only back and front. Up-throw requires being backed all the way up to the ledge though, so it's a lot harder to kamikazi with it.

[@awkwardcultism]

If you weren't already aware, this is a Samus technique the community refers to as the "Extender". It seems to be a beta version of Samus's grapple beam that was accidentally left accessible in the released version of the game via a debug code.

This is the greatest GRsmash video ever

[@SheepHairOG]

At 11:53 the real genius moment of Sol’s play isn’t even shown. He made the dog pop up in that exact spot by hitting a duck right above that location, and in the clip shown the only proof of that is the fact that the dog is holding one duck when it does come up. It wasn’t just RNG. Also I’m upset Mango’s suicide dair on Zain wasn’t in the vid. Zain does a Ken combo and is falling down, expecting Mango to double jump up b, so that he could hit Mango with a reverse up b to kill him and sweetspot ledge, something Zain does a lot, but Mango knew so he just double jump dair’d Zain instead killing them both. I believe it was at LTC7, I could be wrong though.
