2:44 : that overlong ledge grab; you can almost see the Shiek player take a breath and compose themselves before resolving to throw everything they have into making those last minutes count. And by God, they do.
Amazing display of DI @ 4:23, 4:28 and 4:33. Nihonjin had plenty of time to get ready for those Fsmashes from Marth after recovering, so he more or less inputting perfect SDI (probably with quarter circle DI), ASDI, and basic DI ... and survived. =D
I dont know why people dont remember that Marths sword does less damage and knockback the closer to the hilt the hit is, and also his fsmash was stale +DI
If you pay attention, the end of the go sheik chant ends with a huge cheer that happens to perfectly match when Amsah takes the third stock. It's so good.
Nihonjin is my favorite Smash professional, as I am a Sheik-main myself. I'm glad that somebody posted a good quality video of this career-defining match.
Im Armada! And thanks a lot man =) Yeah Im really happy me/Aniolas decided to go cause Genesis 1 was amazing and after that it feelt right to go back often.
*sigh* It's a shame EK got so desperate in the final stocks, but I'm taking nothing away from Nihonjin - amazing work! Some nail-bitingly tense moments.
The last stock is always the hardest to take away. I like how EK was desperately smashing whenever he had the chance, hoping for a lucky shot or something.
It's basically the damage meter of the Smash Bros. series. The higher the percentage, the farther you fly from attacks. So obviously, you have to avoid that percentage from getting too high. :P
I was shouting WTF for the last 30 secs of that video. Seriously, I don't think there are enough words in any language to describe how amazing this was.
holy shit so this is the legendary comeback i have heard of. in the beginning in the vid i thought it was going to be multiple matches, then i saw amsah catching up and i was like damn son.
Wow... coming back from 1 - 4 stock... that was incredible... It surprised me that the Sheik was able to meteor cancel the edgehopped DAir in the beginning; were they playing on the PAL version?
I just want to point out that the tech that EK did at 4:49 is the same thing Amsah kept doing vs Zhu at Pound 4. And when he did it the announcers had never seen it before. The Euro's were doing that 4 years ago!
We need to start adding this match to history books. Seriously. To hell with the Roman Empire, the Great Depression, & the Cold War. This right here is true, exciting, interesting, important, and EPIC HISTORY!!!
I agree. The only sheik (currently) in the US that can match up to the level multiple European sheiks (Amsah, Over, Captain Jack?) would be M2K. Possibly Tope too... but I don't think he's quite there yet.
I agree that this was a pretty BOSS comeback but I'm not sure it's the best. The comeback that still amazes me (personally) to this day is Mew2King's comeback against Shiz, though I forget the tourney it was at. That comeback was mad crazy.
that's the proof that even thoug you look like you're totally defeated, you might not be already beaten. probably the greatest and most impressive comeback that ever happened Nihonjin's the man
@FargisBlarg well it is possible to cancel marth's spike as any other character. The spike can be cancelled when Up-B is hit as soon as Marth's Dair makes contact
@ArmadaUGS That comment seemed to imply you're actually Armada, which quite frankly, is hard to believe. But the off chance you are: Dude you are amazing! You have mad skills and really put Peach on the map! Seriously tho, I'm happy you came to America because you really opened the doors to the skills/talent Europe has to a lot of us Americans. I personally was sleeping on Europe till you came but now I'm aware of tightness such as Amash, Ek, you, Ice, etc. (*lol* You're like the Europen Ken.)
He got too hasty near the end, was very nervous. He didn't keep his calm towards the end of that fight. Marth had it, and slipped. That Sheik had ice-water in his veins.
o junk i saw this happen befor. I dont know if this is the sam match. but anyway nice comeback. For this match i actually respected sheik's sheild grabin
This was just a normal duel with NO modifications, right? (The fact it was probably tournament mode excluded) Options, stats, and specifications default, correct? If not, please say otherwise and explain. The game seems to be moving a bit faster than normal... Unless my eyes are decieving me?
@BlackiceNoku It's the best for sure. The difference between Amsah/Eks stock is bigger then M2k/Shiz. This comeback is also made by the underdog cause EK was the European champ back then. M2ks comeback is hella impressive but Amsah will forever be number one when it comes to the best comeback in the history of smash =)
2:44 "Now, he will try."
natnyle damnit haha
natnyle exact moment he flipped on the kill switch
+natnyle so it wasn't just me who noticed his brain tick
natnyle exactly when the intense music started playing
Hold on to that last stock like real life. Epic.
4:43
Amsah turns to face the same direction his opponent taunted at 0:53
The ultimate middle finger
2:44 : that overlong ledge grab; you can almost see the Shiek player take a breath and compose themselves before resolving to throw everything they have into making those last minutes count. And by God, they do.
2:45 God mode turned on
2:23
And then Amsah picked up the controller.
Amazing display of DI @ 4:23, 4:28 and 4:33. Nihonjin had plenty of time to get ready for those Fsmashes from Marth after recovering, so he more or less inputting perfect SDI (probably with quarter circle DI), ASDI, and basic DI ... and survived. =D
4:21-4:36 God Like DI
+bme619 Staling is a powerful mechanic.
Martha H actually in melee staleness does not effect the knock back
Dunder Pom Huh it looks like you're right. My b.
staleness definitely affects knockback in melee what are you talking about?
Dreamhack 2015 reporting in.
Kreygasm
Marth's curse: either it's very low ko or an unreasonably high ko. 160+? U shouldn't be living.
Or either very good DI
naww not really.
+BenjerminGaye If you want to talk about godlike DI check our the recent smash summit, Shroomed (I think it was ) survived until 200% on Yoshi's Story
I dont know why people dont remember that Marths sword does less damage and knockback the closer to the hilt the hit is, and also his fsmash was stale +DI
Too bad we never got to see Last-Stock Amsah vs Isai When He's Trying
Here from Summit 10
14 years later, wow
If you pay attention, the end of the go sheik chant ends with a huge cheer that happens to perfectly match when Amsah takes the third stock. It's so good.
he just had to do that random charge smash
Nihonjin is my favorite Smash professional, as I am a Sheik-main myself. I'm glad that somebody posted a good quality video of this career-defining match.
Amazing comeback. Just crazy.
Combo at 3:52-3:55 was quite nice.
When I saw Sheik down to the last life and the video wasn't even half over, I knew I was in for one hell of a show.
Im Armada!
And thanks a lot man =)
Yeah Im really happy me/Aniolas decided to go cause Genesis 1 was amazing and after that it feelt right to go back often.
It's like they say, "One stock is when your true self comes out."
OMFG. this is fucking awesome. the fact that it's winners finals makes it even more epic
thanks for the rec lovage that was crazy
Imagine choking on a game where you can have 3 stocks over someone
Remember that this was back in 2006. Everyone is just better these days. Also, the marth must have gotten tense as fuck when Amsah turned it on.
This comeback makes me laugh so hard. I love it.
the crowds reaction was no where near big enough. honestly even the wombo combo got 10x the reaction that this did
*sigh* It's a shame EK got so desperate in the final stocks, but I'm taking nothing away from Nihonjin - amazing work! Some nail-bitingly tense moments.
thank you infinite love the shiek come back was that intentional or did Marth actually own in the beginin?
The last stock is always the hardest to take away.
I like how EK was desperately smashing whenever he had the chance, hoping for a lucky shot or something.
It's basically the damage meter of the Smash Bros. series. The higher the percentage, the farther you fly from attacks. So obviously, you have to avoid that percentage from getting too high. :P
nihonjin, you're the man. I have been playing smash a long time and I have never seen a spike-break before. Anyone know how to do it?
no matter how many times you watch it you still get that feeling that shieks been ko'ed by one of those hits towards the end.
Play "The Touch" at 2:47.
You'll cry.
3:50 That was sooooo nasty! I'm an aspiring Shiek specialist, and this video makes me really happy.
Ngl, that marth looks like netplay marth
I was shouting WTF for the last 30 secs of that video.
Seriously, I don't think there are enough words in any language to describe how amazing this was.
That is how true ninjas play their cards.
Silent and patiently.
holy shit so this is the legendary comeback i have heard of. in the beginning in the vid i thought it was going to be multiple matches, then i saw amsah catching up and i was like damn son.
In PAL, falco's dair is still a spike. Ganondorf's Down-B is also a spike. I don't know if there are any else in PAL.
Wow... coming back from 1 - 4 stock... that was incredible... It surprised me that the Sheik was able to meteor cancel the edgehopped DAir in the beginning; were they playing on the PAL version?
DAMN! 3:50-3:56 combo = epic! And at the end, the marth was SO CLOSE! Very nice match. Truly epic!
brought tears to my eyes
Oh wow. This is my first time watching some high level Melee, it's pretty sick. Now I'm inspired to go break out the GCN.
Did you ever become a pro?
Rare footage of a subconscious distaste for disjointed grabs
that batle was intense, i havent closed my eyes in this batle, was amazing, great players
Whahahaha fine by me. :p
I figured I'd point it out as I would've wanted someone to do that for me as well. =]
I didn't hear the extra ite until you mentioned it ^^; which changes the translation a little.
GOOOOOOoooo SHIEK!
@BlackiceNoku
You don't need to agree. I just said why I thougt it was a better comeback.
Haha thanks man Im glad you enjoy my choose of char/style =)
I just want to point out that the tech that EK did at 4:49 is the same thing Amsah kept doing vs Zhu at Pound 4. And when he did it the announcers had never seen it before. The Euro's were doing that 4 years ago!
When I saw "biggest comeback", I thought it meant recovery. So the turnabout there at Sheik's last life really shocked me.
Best comeback I've ever seen. :o
< Now a Nihonjin fan.
We need to start adding this match to history books. Seriously. To hell with the Roman Empire, the Great Depression, & the Cold War. This right here is true, exciting, interesting, important, and EPIC HISTORY!!!
I agree. The only sheik (currently) in the US that can match up to the level multiple European sheiks (Amsah, Over, Captain Jack?) would be M2K. Possibly Tope too... but I don't think he's quite there yet.
both a sheik and a marth combo video, BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS AWESOME!!! NIHONJIN IS A GOD OF SHEIK!!!
I agree that this was a pretty BOSS comeback but I'm not sure it's the best. The comeback that still amazes me (personally) to this day is Mew2King's comeback against Shiz, though I forget the tourney it was at. That comeback was mad crazy.
Shiek must have made some life-changing decisions at 2:45 while she was on that ledge. Holy shit that was an amazing game.
@linkoninja
PAL there are no spikes only Meteor Smashes. NTSC Spikes are there.
I was there. It was really amazing.
I didn't know the europeans played PAL. So it's a more balanced version of melee? When did it come out?
This was Sheik's Crowning Moment of Awesome.
this is insane. absolutely insane.
To be more correct, this was last match in winners final, with the current score 3-3.
I still can't believe he lost and what a comeback the Shiek made.
I LOVE that Amsah taunted in the exact same spot as EK a little before he won. (and i think ek's taunt is what gave Amsah the motivation to win.)
wow, all i can say is what a comeback that was pretty intense
that's the proof that even thoug you look like you're totally defeated, you might not be already beaten. probably the greatest and most impressive comeback that ever happened
Nihonjin's the man
Even though the quality is shit, the video of the crowd makes this better imo :P
Best match I've seen. Hands down.
A vicious start by EK, well worthy of praise.
Yet that comeback was most likely the greatest in smash history. /hail Nihonjin.
Wow.. biggest comeback I've ever seen. I thought he was going to get 3/4stocked. Turned the table around majorly. Major props to that shiek user.
That taunt at 4:44 >>>>>
I was so getting into this by the end.
that's why u never should quit. Respect!
@FargisBlarg well it is possible to cancel marth's spike as any other character. The spike can be cancelled when Up-B is hit as soon as Marth's Dair makes contact
@ArmadaUGS That comment seemed to imply you're actually Armada, which quite frankly, is hard to believe. But the off chance you are: Dude you are amazing!

I personally was sleeping on Europe till you came but now I'm aware of tightness such as Amash, Ek, you, Ice, etc. (*lol* You're like the Europen Ken.)
NEVER GIVE UP! TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!
@coreygames this was on the PAL version of melee, therefore marth's dair is a meteor smash and not a true spike.
Huh, I was expecting Sheik to die several times during the last stock. Kudos to Nihonjin on that awesome comeback.
That made me so happy.
If i were EK, i would be crying right now. 4 CHANCES 2 WIN!. OMG wow truely amazing
wow, that was crazy. I guess the sheik started adapting a lot to that marth. It seemed the marth could easily predict him for the first few stock.
@KingCaboose I appreciate your candid and mature response. I'm used to idiots talking a big game. Good luck to you.
Wow... The taunt sure pissed off Amsah haha. And at 3:50-3:57 wow... The cheering sure got him in hyper mode haha.
That blew my mind actually.
super outclassed by KJH's comeback vs westballz now
his DI at the end was insane!!
this looks really really good for 2006
He got too hasty near the end, was very nervous. He didn't keep his calm towards the end of that fight. Marth had it, and slipped. That Sheik had ice-water in his veins.
What an upset. But this is a good example of how serious Shiek is.
o junk i saw this happen befor. I dont know if this is the sam match. but anyway nice comeback. For this match i actually respected sheik's sheild grabin
The DI was ridiculous by Sheik! Damnnnn
this match is a legend
you gotta be behind to make the big plays happen
And that's why Amsah is the best european player. This guy is phenomenal.
This was just a normal duel with NO modifications, right? (The fact it was probably tournament mode excluded) Options, stats, and specifications default, correct? If not, please say otherwise and explain.
The game seems to be moving a bit faster than normal... Unless my eyes are decieving me?
Holy Shit. Instant Respect.
3:53 to 3:57 was amazing.
You're watching this match. At 4:35, your heart just jumps. Amazing match.
@BlackiceNoku
It's the best for sure. The difference between Amsah/Eks stock is bigger then M2k/Shiz.
This comeback is also made by the underdog cause EK was the European champ back then. M2ks comeback is hella impressive but Amsah will forever be number one when it comes to the best comeback in the history of smash =)
that double-fair was sexy
