zain is my favorite player but its so funny watching him pop off so seriously and stand up holding a pillow, idk why its so funny looking to me

[@shadowgaleshale9218]

He’s a pillow princess

[@fhuckgoogle4171]

Watching him walk away with a pillow is so funny

14:30 for the replay

[@xvenomx9790]

Once I saw Zain do 1:58 among other nasty combos I just knew he was onto something

[@falco830]

Homemade Waffles: Looks like we’re going to game five. God: Dude stfu, you don’t know anything, dad show him how it’s done. Zain: yes son.

[@goodguycwyzz4768]

Why do they always put him as Cody Schwab instead of Idbw?

[@PureSangheili]

He change his tag. It's easier to say Cody than IBDW.

[@diegomo1413]

Why do they always put him as Zain instead of DontTestMe?

Zain punish iss fucking insane, i think he might become the GOAT in the future

zain popping off with his pillow was so cute lmao 🥰

[@baileyayyy5085]

can someone explain what happens at 9:27 why does fox just go fully invisible?

It's intangibility. All of the shorten lengths have some.

Zain Kills Cody at 0: Marth beats Fox, unfair Cody kills Zain at 0: ......

[@jaredvoelker2622]

The best part of Zain winning is him walking off excited with his big pillow. He looks like a kid at a sleepover who just wiped out all his friends in Madden.

Best gamer at the sleepover 🤣🤣🤣

Close sets between Marth and Fox are peak Melee

this is without a doubt my favorite matchup (zain cody specifically) in current melee

[@trime1015]

Marth-Falco is more entertaining imo

[@Windraesa]

Nothing gets my heart pumping as hard as sets between these two. The two best players in the world, each the best player in the world with their character, playing the games most quintessential matchup. And almost always the better player on the day wins.

[@teriserugi1198]

I'll take fox to dreamland all day. Really think the matchup is pretty good for Marth there.

[@Chiplinked]

Fr. Long flat space is sooo good for Marth. Partially why FD and Stadium are such good picks. Obv tri plat and long blast zones can hurt, but they can also help marth situationally too. I’m thinking with the current meta, congestion is Fox’s best plan vs Marth, so Yoshi’s might be his best stage.

[@Windraesa]

master the atypical platform tech stuff and you're golden

[@teriserugi1198]

I think Yoshi's is an absolute nightmare against fox. low ceiling and no space. I honestly think Marth's get too tripped up on the platform height on Dreamland. It's not that bad! @@Chiplinked

5:04 I dont know why but Zain made that empty short hop grab look crispy lul

[@SonGohan-fx3vb]

He flubbed

[@rodgeers7347]

7:36 I actually don't understand what Toronto did. Can someone explain?

[@RockLobsta23]

It’s generally seen as cringe to clap along to the beat to the Dreamland song but it happens at most majors somewhere along top 8. Some crowds help put an end to it by just clapping at a normal cadence (during the off beats), to drown out the dreamland claps, thus ending the cringe sooner. This happened in Toronto.

[@rodgeers7347]

@RockLobsta23 oh what? When did that become cringe? I've not been to majors but I was looking forward to the clap thing when I finally had the time to do it

[@RockLobsta23]

@@rodgeers7347 community has always seemed to have been split on the opinion of it.

[@noirlavender6409]

Usually I love Cody, but after how lame he played against Salt on the coinbox's grand finals since game 1, just cheesing her as much as possible I'm honestly glad he lost here

[@fhuckgoogle4171]

These two are definitely the best two players in the world.
