Fun fact about Fight Pitt 4 that isn't mentioned: The tournament ran so late that there wasn't going to be time to play losers' finals and grands, so duck offered to forfeit his set to M2K so that they could play out grands.

[@deanerdaweiner3829]

Duck is a chad

Goddamn king shit right there

It was also a 4 hour drive back to Michigan for their carpool and they really wanted to go

Insanely badass

[@trueblueryu5713]

When a Smash pro uses a low tier and still bodies a player using a high tier, it’s comical. When a lower level player uses a low tier and gets a cheap shot on a pro, it’s legendary

[@vyor8837]

Not a cheap shot. It was the solution to the puzzle.

[@Eldoofus]

Well, the bet was to land a single hit on M2K

[@williamwest9204]

M2k using pichu is awesome.

[@YOSSARIAN313]

99% of smash players would struggle to take a stock off m2k in his prime

I’m really glad that this video will make some people stop thinking that David was the guy who did the down b. Beanwolf deserves his credit for it!

wasnt he piss drunk and not trying at all? i feel like thats a little different than this situation where m2k was actually trying to not get hit

[@alula563]

As soon as I saw that title, I knew it would be that match of mew2king ledge stalling a poor bowser lmao

[@pippincovington1348]

The hardest anyone's ever popped off for SDing

[@charlespena4174]

Can’t believe you didn’t include the full vudujin quote about him forgetting bowser is in melee One of the funniest pieces of commentary I can remember

[@heramish5029]

I watched this set 6 or 7 times already and was always a little confused about everything that happened. I kinda felt bad for this awkward Bowser Guy who was getting destroyed and then popped off as if Christmas, Easter and his birthday fell on the same day just because he hit a suicide Down-B. Now I see the game and Beanwolf in a very different light ^^

[@江建国-p9q]

I’m a NorCal native, have been my whole life, but god damn if something about the Pittsburgh scene doesn’t speak to my soul

[@sp1nda]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO LETS GO PITTSBURGH!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LETS GO S1!!!! LETS GO BEANWOLF!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@ThisIsWEB]

Nice hat

[@frogchip6484]

As a Bowser player I can confirm there is basically nothing you can do. If they're shino stalling correctly, then anytime you get close all you can do is shield and consider how long it takes to get there and pull up ur shield with Bowser's movement. They can easily mixup the shino stall with either a ledgehop grab or retreating fair back to ledge. Gameplan? Crouch at ledge. Bowser has incredible CC so if they retreating fair you could MAYBE punish them returning to ledge with an ftilt at low percents but that can be unreliable and becomes impossible as your percent goes up and you take more knockback. The other option is to shield but you cant really punish the Sheik fair because an aerial takes forever because of jumpsquat and a grounded move (like an ftilt) requires you release your shield which takes ages, more than enough time for sheik to grab ledge again. Only hope is if they try to ledgehop grab you could either read the SPECIFIC MOMENT THEY LEDGEHOP OVER CONTINUING TO SHINO STALL (pretty much have to read the entire library and put it back) or up b as soon as they're about to grab you since bowser has intangibility for the first 4 frames of up b, by the time its hitbox comes out on frame 5 sheik is still in the grab endlag, so if you timed it well then you could have the chance to get a punish. A whopping 15% at most. Now try getting 10 of those at the minimum, especially when up b is stale and Sheik releases that they can just retreating fair to ledge with 0 consequences. P.S Microspacing also doesn't work because of Bowser's big hurtbox.

[@steatopigeon]

man, is vudujin still around? him meming on doubles brackets with level 9 cpu luigi was always a treat to watch when it happened.

[@SMALLSandJOE]

Dang, Bambi Broke the Wagon was my first tournament I went to.

[@billymcneil7693]

This a really cool, I once saw a clip of M2k ledge stalling a bowser and always wonder what that was about

[@sdw-hv5ko]

Truly one of the most memorable down-b's in Melee history

[@steveflair7815]

The first character I picked when I got Melee for Christmas as a kid was Bowser vs the cpu won't ever forget it

[@c5h87]

what happend

[@TheGaboefects]

When’s the BORP documentary coming out?

[@loveandnapalm]

Just stumbled across this random love letter to a weird little pocket of my weird little neighborhood and wanted to say thanks. Pittsburgh is a very unique place and it definitely breeds and inspires interesting people, and it's really cool to see how that manifests in something as niche and specific as melee.

[@SurferFlash]

I'll just add - I used to play at Rutgers back in 2005-2011 era with a pretty strong group. M2k was part of that group along with doyoung2win, rot8 and a few others that still play. I mained Peach and was the only one who didn't wavedash as well (though peach arguably doesn't need to as much). We had a really great community and lots of local tournaments. I got second place in the largest one we had, losing to doyoung2win in the finals. Those were the good old days. I've beaten M2k before many times, but now I doubt I'll be able to take a stock off him -1derJim

[@lexzeyfercronus]

Beanwolf stuck around to watch m2k in the final,what a legend.

[@FirePuff12]

Ohh I remember that moment. I absolutely love how Edwin made a high quality film out of it. Let’s go!

[@chasemelius2454]

This video makes me really nostalgic for the PGHNEO scene. The first tournament set I ever played was against Beanwolf. MOAL was probably the thing I looked forward to most every week when I was in college. Cheap entry, pizza, and hours of smash with the homies.

[@brainfreeze10]

I think this may have been the first tournament I watched live? I remember that M2K Mango grand finals vividly.

[@ThisIsWEB]

Probably, given it was a few months after the documentary when tons of new people came along. Duck forfeited Losers Finals to M2K to help the tourney end sooner, and M2K four stocked Mango in game 1 of Grands. #DuckThePolice

[@inakilannot2428]

When are we getting the IBDW sub tournament connect 4 Grand Final video?

[@blakena4907]

Oh, wow, that last stock and 21% damage felt SO good here.

[@joshkardules497]

I'm from the Pittsburgh smash scene, ultimate instead of melee in this case. But I love how accurately pgh it represented. I went to smash con 2019 with pgh and it was amazing. The raw hype we made when one of our buds was playing someone is some of the funniest and most hype moments of smash for me. Pittsburgh is absolutely silly

[@Luick14]

That Song of Storms Lofi Remix is bonkers

Dang i thought i knew more than most about this 4 stock but this vid has shown me that it was a way more incredible match than i knew

Bowser actually is super underrated, probably the most underrated of the bunch. His timing are so, so much slower than everyone else of the cast, but you actually have decent combos and kill power! I've been wrecking 95% of players I come across on slippi, EU!
