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"

[@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!!!*

[@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

[@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

[@databased7812]

Blue Hungry balls Bobby big box

[@docs.a.t.7161]

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

[@Rougealienpirate]

*666XX

[@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

[@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 :)

[@Joshy-]

TheSWOOPER is playing 6D Chess against iBDW.

[@dybchamp1777]

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

[@spiregg]

Hope Chillin recovers from his stroke/upcoming surgery.

[@MyHatDefinesMe]

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

[@matt-eo3gg]

swoopers set against cody was fucking electric man

[@YTTHEGAMINGGUY]

that immaculate dk was like ggs bro

[@kourii]

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

[@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.

[@TheSleepKing]

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

[@mattcyktor2385]

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

[@briansshare]

that swooper IBDW set was fucking wild

[@icegod4849]

The Puff Stall and Zelda Gambit timestamps are swapped

[@snares01]

fixed, thanks

[@Firetehfight]

Blue hungry balls Bobby boxin x

[@nya69]

damn swoopers so sick

[@caden6175]

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

[@oliverrainer5771]

The new old Asumsaus

[@Thierce]

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

[@fujster]

The DK mix-up is meta

[@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.

[@TheDunsparceGames]

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

[@kipitrash9403]

Gotta love a good iDBW ego check

[@Techstrobe]

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

[@Orez666]

ibdw vs TheLEDGE LMFAO

[@FrostburnVID]

Lets go army!

[@dontcaremate]

the smash cut to 4:01 had me crying

[@RealTal.]

I really really want a sequel to this

[@MAST1]

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

[@LikelyHexoadine]

hmm swooper has an interesting relationship with the ledge.

[@Shmover34]

Chillin why is this happening lmao

[@bobboberson8297]

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

[@speckwii]

Absolutely love these. Keep them up!!!

[@LuichoX203]

this is a good channel

[@nich3897]

The DK action was just disgusting holy shit hell yeah

[@JasonALMS2010]

Next big melee channel

[@SoppyBiscuit]

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

[@legendkiller1994]

Awesome videos! Keep up the great work!

[@keyanklupacs6333]

Double puff ledge camping makes me so giddy.

[@nickoakley8810]

2:04 run away! run away!

[@pizza4bfast546]

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

[@kingkrispy5289]

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

[@E-Brightvoid]

Get SWOOPED

[@DragonSoulMusic]

I FUCKING LOVE FAIR FROM THE LEDGE SAMUS GANG LES GOOOOOOOOOO

[@woopslap]

zelda match was cool, but the puff matchup was funnier

[@parasectkazuyabandicoot5360]

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

[@krowpan799]

Pre-wobble ban Ice climbers are so soulless

[@KuroShiiiiro]

LOL the puffs

[@tabarnakcalice4185]

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

[@aidanmcclenny7914]

me when I get wobbled (I got completely outskilled)

[@OfficialJabe]

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

[@t9t9t9t9t9]

always nice to see cringelord ibdw getting destoyed

[@peterkim8525]

Asum sauce archive successor

[@damienkun8786]

I love melee

[@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?

[@SunshineQuark]

I love this channel

[@JasonALMS2010]

LMFAO SWOOPER THE GOAT

[@plonzz]

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

[@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

[@1brenbot]

beautiful loll

[@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.

[@ericzaragoza1353]

Melee is whacky 🎆🐙🎇 Yes mr.octo

[@jayeckart9234]

The description has time stamps mixed up

[@FireShaddow]

RIP Chillin, you will be missed

[@obsidianskin9502]

lets go army woo

[@Left-sh1db]

Is this where the rishi dk was born??

[@abeln1167]

most underrated melee youtuber

[@lezzei]

give em time

[@kupaxykalee4454]

hax wins melee

[@tikaal]

you're a goldmine haha

[@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

[@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
