Strange Strategies in Melee

[@thomas1848]

The commentators getting hyped for every fair from ledge had me in stitches.

[@Basrohs]

Drephen going Zelda was too much fun, I had a big smile on my face the whole time watching that

[@jeeves-2]

"Reject sword. Return to monke." Rishi, 20DK, shortly after winning smash summit 20

[@Franco-kt4eb]

- Ok what swooper doing wrong right now - Playing Samus

[@TheYambino]

Samus fair on ledge is an enigma. Somehow it has proven its sustainability in every smash title.

[@Micha-Hil]

drephen: "i have two characters, i'm gonna use the two characters"

[@Romibeno]

That DK comeback, match-up knowledge is THAT impactful my dude

[@guesswho6941]

Or maybe tier lists actually dont exist and you are brainwashed by them

[@illford]

Also Rishi's DK being cracked. It's gotten iBDW and Kuyashi now

[@00Krohnos]

@@illford and a game off of Zain

[@illford]

@@00Krohnos it's insanse how good Rishi's secondaries are

[@illford]

@@00Krohnos low-key should enter an online all DK or something

[@christomanci]

This was so great. Drephen is a king. Also pretty sure he coulda recovered at least 1 more time if he switched back to zelda lol

[@Bonkersiznuts]

Crazy how close it was too considering that Drephen started that game with 3 stocks because they didnt do a neutral start.

[@consilo]

2:07 superwavedash cancel crossup to dash attack im a big fan

[@briangruenewald7536]

2:10 *OHHH!!!*

[@lchampine]

Drephen's mistake was not switching to Zelda against the last-stock Sopo :(

[@teh_blazerer]

Real mistake was not doing neutral start on Stadium

[@stompknee]

Watching that Drephen set live was unreal. I'm probably in the crowd somewhere, my mind being completely blown.

[@ClassicBentobox]

Underrated player alert 🚨

[@youtubeobserver]

Great video, haven’t seen 3/4 of these before this The drephen Zelda is genius

[@SSB_Seal]

Idk why but even though I've usually seen all the sets before (just because I watch a ton) I still really enjoy rewatching them in highlights. I've been enjoying your videos for the last 2 weeks since one got recommended, keep up the good work and thank you for actually crediting sources in the description.

[@mgyoshi]

i think drawing parallels between diff sets makes it feel different (better)

[@josephkinney1644]

Love your videos man. Definitely my new favorite melee channel. Keep it up :)

[@docs.a.t.7161]

Completely lost it when multiple Jiggs started planking the same ledge. The year is 20FF indeed

[@Rougealienpirate]

[@databased7812]

Blue Hungry balls Bobby big box

[@dybchamp1777]

this video is spectacular, i would watch hours of these weird ass sets

[@dorohime7001]

Also It's in a bunch of highlight videos probably But There's this one Smashcon set Where the counterpick war leads Axe and Mang0 to FD in a Young Link vs Mario matchup I love how weird Melee can be

[@snares01]

i love weird counterpick battles like that, after BoBC i'll make a video on those. thanks for the suggestion!

[@dorohime7001]

Yesyes!!! I love Melee highlight content!!! Especially ones that talk about older sets and plays.

[@MisterZebra42]

That actually for like 3 sets of theirs in a row, Mang0 would win a game, Axe would counterpick to FD, Mango would go Mario to avoid the Pika chaingrab and Axe would go Young Link because he’s fun

[@Joshy-]

TheSWOOPER is playing 6D Chess against iBDW.

[@matt-eo3gg]

swoopers set against cody was fucking electric man

[@mattcyktor2385]

7:45 is the smartest Zelda down smash I've ever seen lmao

[@MyHatDefinesMe]

This might be one of the best Melee videos I've ever seen

[@loudninja557]

Drephen only lost cause of the non neutral start into getting wobbled lmaoo.

[@june-ls1hw]

Dude TheSwooper is insane

[@kingd8m]

Idgaf what anyone thinks, Swooper has a divergent and legitimate play-style.

[@spiregg]

Hope Chillin recovers from his stroke/upcoming surgery.

[@YTTHEGAMINGGUY]

that immaculate dk was like ggs bro

[@TheSleepKing]

You call em strange strategies, I call em taking a detour.

[@kourii]

Drephen's Zelda-vs-Climbers, Sheik-vs-Climber strat was a beauty

[@icegod4849]

The Puff Stall and Zelda Gambit timestamps are swapped

[@snares01]

fixed, thanks

[@fujster]

The DK mix-up is meta

[@dontcaremate]

the smash cut to 4:01 had me crying

[@TheDunsparceGames]

drephen really just went “let me show you my SECOND main” and switched to zelda lol

[@caden6175]

Lmfao rishi is too goated, he also took a game off ibdw with Donkey Kong at TBH9

[@Orez666]

ibdw vs TheLEDGE LMFAO

[@kipitrash9403]

Gotta love a good iDBW ego check

[@legendkiller1994]

Awesome videos! Keep up the great work!

[@FrostburnICS]

Lets go army!

[@Thierce]

Rip to Drephen. Had to play against ICs with wobbling legal, on unfrozen stadium without neutral starts

[@MAST1]

Damn even more good content, keep it up man :) (Hi James Bathgate)

[@nickoakley8810]

2:04 run away! run away!

[@Techstrobe]

the live chat for drephen's zelda was funny as shit i remember

[@speckwii]

Absolutely love these. Keep them up!!!

[@Shmover34]

Chillin why is this happening lmao

[@SoppyBiscuit]

I can’t believe I’ve never seen this drephen set

[@RealTal.]

I really really want a sequel to this

[@JasonALMS2010]

Next big melee channel

[@LikelyHexoadine]

hmm swooper has an interesting relationship with the ledge.

[@MaybeADragon]

I swear every clip of Army I see is normally just him playing like a rat and wobbling endlessly. Idc people's opinions on balance, it's not fun to watch.

[@nich3897]

The DK action was just disgusting holy shit hell yeah

[@E-Brightvoid]

Get SWOOPED

[@DragonSoulMusic]

I FUCKING LOVE FAIR FROM THE LEDGE SAMUS GANG LES GOOOOOOOOOO

[@bobboberson8297]

you could do a whole video on strange ics counterpicks lol (ben vs chudat?)

[@keyanklupacs6333]

Double puff ledge camping makes me so giddy.

[@kingkrispy5289]

Bruh swooper hit’m with the super wash dash he won that by default 😭😭

[@LuichoX203]

this is a good channel

[@pizza4bfast546]

Drephen wins that set if he got a neutral start game 3

[@KuroShiiiiro]

LOL the puffs

[@parasectkazuyabandicoot5360]

Not sure why DK didn’t use his x4 Falco multi shines more

[@tabarnakcalice4185]

I'm so glad wobbling is banned now. Did army stop playing?

[@krowpan799]

Pre-wobble ban Ice climbers are so soulless

[@mikilaai]

me when I get wobbled (I got completely outskilled)

[@woopslap]

zelda match was cool, but the puff matchup was funnier

[@peterkim8525]

Asum sauce archive successor

[@OfficialJabe]

you are the balance the the force that was foretold in the 20xx prophecy

[@SunshineQuark]

I love this channel

[@damienkun8786]

I love melee

[@plonzz]

seems like you got timestamps slightly wrong - puff stall and zelda gambit are swapped together quick fix it before anyone notices

[@t9t9t9t9t9]

always nice to see cringelord ibdw getting destoyed

[@JasonALMS2010]

LMFAO SWOOPER THE GOAT

[@beric0bartman]

Is it me or is that samus gameplay just the epitome of uranked samus? How are people hyped for someone cringing it up that hard?

[@abeln1167]

most underrated melee youtuber

[@lezzei]

give em time

[@jayeckart9234]

The description has time stamps mixed up

[@1brenbot]

beautiful loll

[@DoomJoy666]

Too bad the puff game doesn't count any more because of ledge grab limit so they actually lost. Terrible strategy, idk why players want to have fun at the expense of everyone watching and the other player they play with

[@FireShaddow]

RIP Chillin, you will be missed

[@Left-sh1db]

Is this where the rishi dk was born??

[@YURTZYN42]

Zelda is SOOOOO easy to fight.. Just get on top of or under her, geez.. Stop trying to space her horizontally, you're gonna get kicked. She's very straight forward and easy to fight against. Platforms make it even easier to get on her head and she can't do shit about it.

[@obsidianskin9502]

lets go army woo

[@ericzaragoza1353]

Melee is whacky 🎆🐙🎇 Yes mr.octo

[@kupaxykalee4454]

hax wins melee

[@Fynmorphover]

I can’t respect the way Swooper won that, my guy camped near the ledge for the whole set lmao.

[@christomanci]

But samus is sick amd fair is sick lol

[@nathantempleton584]

Cody could have just respected swoopers fairs from ledge and backed off. Or Fox has plenty of tools to gimp people from ledge. Cody just fell for it every time. Maybe he’s not used to the matchup but that was certainly not cheap or unavoidable. Also final stock of the set was zero to death on FD with no ledge attack at all. Swooper just out there beastin and feastin

[@tikaal]

you're a goldmine haha

[@ChickenTeller]

I don't watch a ton of melee but, from everything I've seen, puff should just be straight up banned. It's such a degenerate and boring playstyle both to play against and to watch.

[@beybl7869]

Nah bro, puff is hilarious to watch. The game would be so much worse without a character slowing down to he game a little bit. Boring is subjective, what you find boring other people will find hype. And puff isnt broken. Banning is a bad take

[@sevenhecks]

Nah puff can be hype as fuck - it's just that most people tend to play her too defensively. Mang0s puff is super sick
