Thank you to my friends at INTO THE AM for sponsoring me! Combat ugliness with their Black Friday Sale for 30-80% off sitewide, beginning today through November 30th! You'll also get an additional 10% off if you use my link: intotheam.com/WALT
Met Salt at my first regional, Sunshined 2! She was a super homie and gave me a great impression of top melee players, her authentic friendliness and humor is definitely part of the reason I decided to stick with Melee :)
@Aaron-mn2ro Melee has no place for transphobic people. Either be accepting of others different from yourself, or find a different community to antagonize.
Big fan of these < 20 min video essays rather than the 1 hr + highlight vids, for both recapping a tournament as well as a player spotlight, or a character highlight really.
Walt I love that made a video about Salt, I have been only been following her for a couple momths but her fucking Falcon is HYPE. She just needs a little more time because that Falcon looks CLEAN. Def goes more for N0ne style explosiveness but if she can camp as well as Wizzy then she's ready to make even bigger waves! Also where did you get your phob lol
None will always be my Goat falcon but Salt is insane. One of the most players to watch. But when BBB is your roommate you probably just absorb how to play with swag. No I am not a bobby fan but he was not afraid to play for style over rank and I respect that.
just my opinion, but i think this style of video should pivot to like an interview or something? it gives off SaveAsUntitled Player spotlight/Melee Resume vibes. something that makes the video more personable. this kinda reads like if the JV5 was for a player. either way i like the video thank you walt 👍
Yeah for sure agree! I think if I had more time to publish I would’ve certainly included an interview or two, but I needed to get this out on time for a sponsor requirement. Will work on some changes as I get back into this style!
Bruh that intro. Hugs is a joke. Anyways into the AM makes good stuff. They used to make zipup hoodies like 5 years ago and I still have 2, they are the most comfortable hoodies I have ever owned. They aren't too heavy but not too thin, and had pretty sweet designs. A little loud for a grown man but I still wear them. I wish they'd bring those back. EDIT: actually it looks like they have hoodies again but not the same ones I have but I will still be picking one up just to see if its the same material.
tried actually playing melee for da first time a few days ago its super fun even if i kinda really suck at it it makes me appreciate da top talent a lot more :3 dont think theres any real tournaments near me in germany but might go to one somday
@@Parpeing ya!! ive been playing on slippi i just mean the in-person scene looks rlly cool too and i would like to b there too :] even if i wld probly get last place and just watch
One day we will see a DK v Falcon matchup in grand finals. And that kinda set will be one of a kind between mid upper tier v low tier matchup other fighting games will rarely see
@@BExAxKINGHigh rate of autism in Smash community and also high rate of trans people in the autism community. So really it's the autism overlap (I am saying this as someone with autism)
@@BExAxKING i think, along with what others are saying, it's also because of the relative inclusivity the trans people who do interact with the scene are just more likely to be out and also stick around

CORRECTION SALT IS FROM HOUSTON NOT AUSTIN I'M SORRY PLEASE DON'T BE MAD
Fun fact Austin is no longer in Texas.
some things cant be forgiven
you're done.
@@iamnotmattpatl1467god I wish
Get em!
Walt, your content is incredible and your love for this scene is immense.

@@RatFunkSSBMHow about you be accepting of people who believe in biological sex?
@@ssjmura1654Genshin on your profile 💀
Salt is hella fun to watch play. She's so good and mad chaotic w/ the neutral. It's dope
Not the Hugs86 disrespect 😭😭 "elderly man"

salt has to have some of the prettiest gameplay I've seen, so god damn smooth
I would love more deep analytical stuff a la your video on Genghis Juan, but hey, these player/character focused retrospectives are plenty good too.
Doing the music + intro animation for this got me thinking about those again, so I'm going to get back to them soon!
Let's go salt had the honor of seeing her in action here in Miami. Super inspiring for a low level Falcon. Melee. Forever.
Salt is an amazing player and an even more amazing person!
A absolutely love Walt's ad reads 😂
That was one of the funniest ads I've ever seen
i am a fan of salt and a fan of walt
Love this kind of content, listened on a walk to a bakery
So happy to see Texas in the limelight again. Brings me back to the golden age of Project M
DFW project M in 2014-2018..
You had to be there
@@abandoned_green Hell yeah
that profile pic of mof is crazy 1:49
more like the crust of greatness, u can win with just nair and he's perfect i love u Douglas

Salts meteoric rise to the top of the CF metagame needs to be studied. She's so fucking insane and technical, makes CF look like S+ tier
Hope we can get a video on S2J’s run at The Function 3!

The queens of Melee; Magi and Salt. I dont know what changed, but im happy there is more female representation in smash. 👸🏿 💪
Nothing changed except dudes becoming mentally ill 😂
I mean, I like both Magi and Salt, but they're not females.
@@ssjmura1654Shut up
@@ssjmura1654You can't say you like people and then actively disrespect their choices in the same breath.
@@ssjmura1654my only gripe with melee is how transphobic the community is
Fire gameplay, but man that rise and grind outfit was something else
tried actually playing melee for da first time a few days ago its super fun even if i kinda really suck at it it makes me appreciate da top talent a lot more :3
dont think theres any real tournaments near me in germany but might go to one somday

For me, Salt definitively passes the eye test for the best moving, smoothest falcon ever - topping anything Hax, Wizzrobe, S2J, or none ever did.
N0ne gives her a run for her money but damn I think she is starting to out-sick his play
Ever heard of Jeapie?
@@D-V-O-R-A-Kthat dude was straight MJ
Isai (relatively for the time period)
Babe wake up Walt just uploaded
salt's control is fucking nuts
thank u walt, very cool!

Great video
Never placed below 17th EVER? Jesus.
Didn't place below 17th that year
such a sick player and such a cool person
BIG year for smash
Salt my goat 🐐
Wait, are some of you not subscribed?? You're willingly missing out on these videos huh
A+ ad read
Walt carrying Melee content on youtube fr
GOAT MAKES VIDEO ON GOAT ........
CAN I JUST SAY- it is so beautiful to see that all four players at the beginning of the video are trans?? we out hereeee, let's go salt
big W
How weird that melee attracts so many trans people despite there being so few trans people. Really weird overlap
@@BExAxKINGHigh rate of autism in Smash community and also high rate of trans people in the autism community. So really it's the autism overlap (I am saying this as someone with autism)
@@travismorales5443 As someone who is trans and autistic, I honestly can't refute that.
@@BExAxKING i think, along with what others are saying, it's also because of the relative inclusivity the trans people who do interact with the scene are just more likely to be out and also stick around
real shit
He's an impressive player.
Loooooooseeerrr
you are such a pathetic person its insane
Walts getting too confident as a content creator and I dont really fuck with that
Southern United States? SUS?
"her" "she" LMAO bro isn't fooling ANYBODY
Times be a changin'
white people when black women dont look like white women :
@@jubeat4451bro wtf does race have to do with it, thats a grown ass man
please stfu dont be a bigot
let her be happy. whats so wrong with that.
5 minutes in and there's been two seperate self promotions and a 1 minute ad read im out
Why do you keep saying she tho?
because that's her preferred pronouns
You don’t talk to people outside of the Internet much do you?
@@firstlast-wg2on probably too much
He's so sick!
why are you like this
she
These players shouldn't be celebrated just because they want to be the opposite sex, skill should be what makes you great
no one brought up gender into any of this though?
Hearing groovy lofi music in the background of a walt video gives me the good feels
