Axe's Young Link is so very sick! The Swag Stalling in particular may have been my favorite part. And uh... I'm going to hazard a guess that you're familiar with my commenting habits based on your response haha! That said the comment is appreciated!
The best part about this entire run is Hugo trying to call him out for Swag stalling and Axe taking none of it! Also, AXE is sick with whatever character he plays. He makes sopo look dope.
I come back to this video periodically just cause of the swag stall on none. Someone who is considered one of the swaggiest players standing still in amazement over a child just out for a leisurely swag.

Truly. When I started making Melee content, I had a lot of misconceptions about that game that simply weren't true and that were shattered. It's been awesome. Thanks for watching!
Damn Frudgey, Been bingwatching most of your melee uploads again the past few days and I can't express the gratitude we as a community have for such a frequent and high quality content creator like you. Can't recall how many tourney's I've rewatched recently thanks to your highlight reels. Keep up the good stuff man!
Hey Bas Bro, thank you sincerely for the kind words and for watching the content. It gives me no small amount of pleasure knowing that people enjoy the videos. Thanks again for the comment. It really made my day.
I've heard that this is pretty standard fair for Axe - I'll have to check out his stream sometime in hopes of seeing more Young Link play. Thanks for watching!
Boy, I'd love to see that. I'm already happy with the variance in character picks for Melee, but seeing more mid tiers would be hype. Thanks for watching!
It's crazy how Axe knows every little trick with characters like Young Link. Can't wait to see Axe pull him vs Hbox next time they meet in bracket it should be a pretty interesting match.
I've seen Axe use Young Link versus Hungrybox once, and as Michael Shin said, it wasn't pretty. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing more Young Link, but I also love seeing Axe's Pikachu. Thank you for your continued viewership!
That's super slick and lots of smart techniques and tricks utilizing Ylinks quirks. Love it! Now if only Ylink had an actual fast fall that would be great!
IDK if I've seen anyone on stream ever throw down that hard with YL. Such a technical character to make viable in a match. The projectile placements, run off up B's(kills you if you mess up), bomb drops, wall jumps (with and without hookshot), edge cancels, punish to the max grab... The fact that he has mastered all that is insane. Definitely makes the character at least a viable counterpick if you can play it as good or better than he does.
I could see Young Link being a counter pick, and it's an interesting idea that I've never considered myself. While I'm not sure if we'll see Young Link competitively, stranger things have happened so you never know! Thanks for watching!
@@Frudgey I believe Armada famously put YL on the map as a counterpick. Axe picked it up after he did it to use as a counterpick against floaty characters. I know Axe brought it out against hbox in a big tourney.
I've never played much Young Link, but I'll say that I've seen him do cool things in Smash games so I can agree with that assessment! Thanks for watching!
Axe is great. One thing I've discovered since getting into Melee is that there are a lot of cool people who do remarkable things. It's really cool to see. As always, I enjoy your enthusiastic comments Jared! Thanks for watching!
I think that could be possible! I don't know how good Young Link is or how much potential he has, but it'd be cool to see him more in tournaments! Thanks for watching!
It's just turnaround bow into ADCT (Air Dodge Cancel Tether) into wall jump. It's a tight and impressive input still though. Never pull it off in my lifetime.
While I certainly wouldn't consider myself an informed opinion, it seems to me that the consensus is NO, but Young Link could work as a counter pick or something. At least, that's my impression. Thanks for watching Wigglytuff!
@@Frudgey it's in reference to the UA-camr MagicScrumpy who claimed he played 600 hours of Young Link and made a combo video of all the footage, which he used to win a combo video competition. Turns out it was faked and at least partially TASed.
Every time i see a vid of young link i kind of question why he’s considered to be a bad character.. Maybe Its just cause Axe just makes him look cool lol
I'm not really sure what Young Link's short comings are as a character as I'm so unfamiliar with him, but it would be cool to see more of him in tournament play. Thanks for tuning in!
I've only ever seen Axe's Young Link versus Hungrybox once, and Hungrybox won the game. Still though, it'd be cool to see more of it. Thanks for tuning in!
@@cubicalprobably dude stomp knee'd and down-throw knee'd a lot for a swag bracket, and falcon has a lot of room for fancy stuff, AND he even admitted that he just thought his legacy would win the crowd. Thats all im gonna say.
@@zackattack5803 the guy went through hand surgery, switched mains, and hasn't played Falcon, longer than most avg players have even started the game. Hax did good.
@@hydratedspace262 again, this is a SWAG bracket. The point isnt to just straight up win with boring shit. The point is to get creative and go out of your way to do flashy stuff. And all of your reasoning is just points on why i should pity him, not why his performance was good. Im not saying hes a bad player, he gets good results at any tourney he goes to. In saying hes stale as fuck and not at all as cool (keyword COOL) as he used to be.
So Axe is popular community figure (for good reason) so I can understand where you're coming from. I've reached out to Beyond the Summit to see if I can have permission to use their content to make the highlight videos, and I've yet to hear back from them. I'm of the belief that creating highlight videos like these are mutually beneficial, though I definitely see the counter argument that states otherwise. It's possible that I'm cannibalizing viewership by making these videos, but I'd also say it's possible that I could be helping viewership with these videos by directing traffic to Axe or Beyond the Summit by crediting them in the description. However it's not easy to know what is actually the case unless we look at some analytics, which just isn't something I have. I think there's definitely an argument to be made that I operate in a morally grey area, and for that I understand why some people don't like what I do. Me personally I think with this kind of content "everyone wins", but I know that not everyone would agree. To give a quick rundown on why I think these videos are mutually beneficial: - The highlight videos may encourage people to go watch the full sets on the original owner's channel if they liked the highlights. - Hopefully I'm creating something new that wouldn't be made otherwise. I.E., if Beyond the Summit made an Axe Swag Single Highlight video and then I made one, then I think there's a stronger argument that I'm cannibalizing content. - These videos are good for the people who want to catch the best moments but don't want to watch all the games. I would think the number of people who choose to not watch the games BECAUSE they've watched the highlights is a small number. It's been my experience that people watch highlights due to time restraints (so they wouldn't watch the full games to begin with) or the highlights encourage people to watch the full games. This is anecdotal experience from previous comments I've gotten on my highlight videos, though again I think this is only something that can be answered with research and analytics. The first bullet is the one I have the most faith in, as my previous experience working with entertainment companies has led me to think that for the most part, companies are happy to have highlight videos created as it is advertising for them - sort of like a trailer for a movie. I've personally even have gotten opportunities for creating highlight videos using footage from companies. Hopefully this gives some insight to my motivations.
Frudgey So you didn’t get their permission to use their content so you just went ahead and did it anyways. That’s direct cannibalization of viewership. Nobody watches these videos and then watches the sets because there’s no reason to anymore. You’re a lazy piece of shit who makes no-effort content. You don’t operate in a “morally grey area”, you operate in a morally bad area. You’re a thief. Get over yourself and actually do something unique or interesting with your content, we don’t need another Pengboys or Gloomshot.
@@ryanh1013 bruh chill out a bit. I agree that its questionable that he didnt actually get permission to post these highlights but you're acting like he took everything axe ever owned lol. Especially when He had a well worded and thorough response to where he was coming from but for some reason you didn't wanna acknowledge the fact that pretty much every point he made was valid cause hes a terrible person for what hes done? Furthermore if someone is a fan of axe or if they're someone who watches beyond the summit content already; one 5 minute highlight video isn't going to make them just skip any other content that may cover matches involved in the highlight video. And If they're new viewers then now they know axe is dope so they'll watch more of him and they know that BTS has the sets so I dont get why this is such an injustice? Unless BTS/AXE says no permission and he doesnt take the videos down, then hes done nothing wrong directly.
Cleotheninja His reply was well-worded in the way that he dances around the subject and never takes any responsibility for his wrongdoing/speaks in a way which goes on the assumption that what he’s doing isn’t wrong. Taking other people’s content and not doing anything with it is stealing. Just because someone isn’t using harsh language doesn’t mean that what their saying is true/acceptable. I’m not going to acknowledge manipulative language as a legitimate form of discourse. He’s playing you for a fool and you’re eating it up. What he’s doing isn’t a “moral grey area” and it’s not “questionable” it’s flat out wrong and he should either shut down his channel or change his content. A lot of work goes into this community whether it’s the TOs setting up events or the players putting in countless hours to become the best at the game, and they should be reaping all of the rewards, not talentless people like Frudgey here.
I'm going to assume that this is in response to Axe's Young Link being an absolute Swag Lord, to which I can nod my head in agreement. Thanks for tuning in!
Axe totally has an unfair advantage they shoulda done a blind vote where the audience doesn't know who's playing and just votes for the character. Also if None were in the zone and chill like in his practice streams he'd have won for sure
I think the Swag Bracket was a good idea on paper, but in execution it had a couple of hiccups. That said, I still found it very entertaining. Thanks for watching the video!
LippyLapras Armada’s young link is clean af but not as flashy as axe I’m just happy to see any high level young link play the character practically doesn’t exist in competitive melee
3:10 “he’s swag stalling.” Only Axe can swag that hard
I liked Axe before, but Summit 9 REALLY turned me into an Axe fan. Swag Master Axe!
Thanks for watching the video!
If there was a new set of Melee Gods, Axe would be the Mid-Tier God. Besides Leffen's MewTwo you rarely see mid-tiers played at this caliber, but even Leffen's MewTwo doesn't have nearly this much swag.
There's an alternate timeline where Axe is a Young Link main and for the swag bracket he brought out his sick pocket Pikachu. Suddenly the entire world is turned on its side and the community is questioning the competitive viability of the little yellow mid tier.
Melee is sick
Melee is indeed sick. Amen.
Thank you for watching!
Can I live in that timeline 😭😭
axe making young link look top tier... jeez
I think after the Swag Bracket there's going to be little dispute about the idea that Young Link is absolutely a top tier Swagster.
Thank you for watching!
Frudgey
While he is mid tier I think he can have serious results and honestly has more potential than the other mid tiers.
@@nicksalvatore5717 nobody has a projectile game like he does. played well it could be devastating. up air chains to dair kills are nasty too.
too bad noone plays him, it could be really sick
@@nicksalvatore5717 He struggles in the neutral game against the spacies, and has a rough time in general getting KO's. His limited Melee range can also be an issue at times. In the later versions of Melee his recovery is also pretty ass for a character of his weight class.

Cleotheninja “well you see officer, he didn’t necessarily say I couldn’t stab him, so how could what I did be wrong?”
what
I'm going to assume that this is in response to Axe's Young Link being an absolute Swag Lord, to which I can nod my head in agreement.
Thanks for tuning in!
I think Axe mighta won
Haha what gave you that impression?
Thanks for watching Ricky!
lol patreon stealing content...
@Trey Doussan That’s the norm, yeah. But who cares lol money is money
Hax$ 😬🤦
Gotta appreciate Hax$'s honesty!
Thanks for watching!
Axe totally has an unfair advantage they shoulda done a blind vote where the audience doesn't know who's playing and just votes for the character.
Also if None were in the zone and chill like in his practice streams he'd have won for sure
I think the Swag Bracket was a good idea on paper, but in execution it had a couple of hiccups. That said, I still found it very entertaining.
Thanks for watching the video!
I think especially in melee you can tell whos playing by movement and other little quirks. I would automatically assume this YL was Axe 100%.
Kinda hard to do anything swaggy when you have to combo young link and he just gets to play vs ffers
Go play YL vs any competent Sheik/Falco/Falcon
To anyone thats never seen axes young link it seems insane but in actuality its pretty standard
Really? That's fascinating - I feel like I've been missing out then!
Thanks for watching!
Well you almost have to go with flashy stuff to win as Y Link, but can you name a better Y Link than Axe? Never seen one myself.
@@salsashark4133 Armada?
@@CaptainGrubZ oh yeah I forgot about that. Got me there, though idk if I'd say he's better necessarily
LippyLapras Armada’s young link is clean af but not as flashy as axe I’m just happy to see any high level young link play the character practically doesn’t exist in competitive melee
