Imagine being that Fox, and having to wait 6 minutes for Falco to respawn

[@jcast1749]

lol what an underrated comment

[@Tentaclear1]

Actually, I think the implication is that falco is simply experiencing time more slowly while in “purgatory.” For fox, the match still plays out as normal.

[@Zeutomehr]

oh well, they'll just do what every fox does between stocks boast their fancy techskill

The spookiest of them all would have to be the super secret hidden technique: Un-pause when your older brother is in the bathroom.

Bro: "Hey, where did my stock go?" Me: "Uhh... Maybe a haunted ghoul took it?"

[@jacobstevens8519]

on versions of melee like 20xx etc where you could move the camera with no restrictions my friends and i would rotate it horizontally so it was mirrored when a homie was in the bathroom and when we unpaused they’d move the wrong way lmao

[@SSB_Seal]

This is such an awesome video. Even though I was already aware of all but the G&W Kirby bacon glitch, the writing was funny/entertaining, the visuals were interesting/well-made, and the information delivery was presumably easy for non-Melee players to understand. You have been hitting such a strong stride in content creation, and I’m really glad we have you in the community. Keep up the great work!

[@bugjams]

Can confirm, never played Melee in my life but the presentation makes these videos fascinating to me nonetheless.

[@Gabooo214]

Guys I know you might not believe me, but I SWEAR right when he said "Phantom hits are-" my KZbin app closed. *S p o o k y*

[@mistahfreeze6865]

_phantom app?_

[@brianbrady3331]

I was actually hoping he would talk about phantom hits lol. I hear that term a lot but have no clue what they are

[@catarianepeta]

it's when a hitbox misses a hurtbox by one pixel. you still take damage from the attack, but don't take knockback.

[@leaffinite3828]

Its when the hitbox and hurtbox are right next to each other with no space between, but not overlapping. You take damage, but no knockbavk

[@sethomas666]

phantom hits refer to hits where the hitbox of an attack only tangentially connects with the hurtbox of an opponent (ie veeeery minimal connection), dealing only half damage and dealing no knockback

[@lorunzo9761]

He has it in some of his other videos, but I’m not sure which ones.

[@percher4824]

so the hit grazes and doesn't deal knockback

[@MeatKisser]

Didn't know Falco had a Yamcha costume this early

[@shaderzyx2170]

I really like how Falco is a gravestone on the character select screen. Nice attention to detail

[@phoenixandy]

Guys, don’t be afraid of Shadow Mario. It’s just Bowser Jr., remember?

[@TornDutch]

4:39 okay that screaming made me laugh 😂😭

[@PKG315]

Bruh I was actually waiting for him to explain phantom hits at the end there

[@FourheadWeapon]

The real phantom hit was the glitches we found along the way. Happy Halloween!

[@rya3]

2:12 "i am a shadow, the TRUE self!

[@sagacious03]

If my memory serves, Phantom Hits are when an attack inflicts damage, but not knockback, because the attack's hitbox didn't enter the victim's hitbox, rather only made contact with it. But yeah! Great video! Thanks for uploading!

[@jjthan8772]

Half damage no knockback. Occurs when an attack is one pixel off :)

[@sagacious03]

@@jjthan8772 Ah, thank you for the clarification!

[@Deadgye]

[@Punkmation]

Me: AsumSaus will eventually run out of glitches to demonstrate from Melee Melee: *exists* Me: ffs

[@jackwayne4570]

related to the soulbreaker throw thing: when ICs freeze glitch someone, and then grab them, if they down throw or back throw, the opponent will stay freeze glitched. if they up throw, f throw, or pummel, the freeze glitch will be broken maybe theres some similarity between ICs d-throw/back throw and Mewtwos down throw?

Bro at 1:36 saus went out of his way to add a little tombstone for falco. He really makes great quality videos

[@nicodegallo7886]

The quality of these recent videos are insane, this is the best Melee content on KZbin

[@lf3boss]

Mango may have gone from best in the world with one character to best in the world with a totally different character, but Asumsaus also moved laterally from one of the best content creators in the scene with his compilations to, in my opinion, one of the most talented content creators on the entire platform with his commentary and essay style videos.

[@SpongeMagic]

I've seen this video about 5 times already and only now did I notice that Falco is replaced with a tombstone at 2:42

3:04 fun fact about the name entry glitch, game and watch has 3 different versions of his shadow self, as his transparent outline remains the same color as his team color, thus creating red, green, and blue outlines respectively

Hey asum I wanted to say I love all your videos and how they’re structured, I have a love for melee but have never played it competitively. But your videos are just so exciting and I always learn a lot. I think a lot of people wouldn’t be opposed to you covering other topics. The structures of your videos are fantastic. Anyways have a good day BYE!!!!
