Yoshi finally winning a major made me absolutely happy.
And then he won 2 more.
yoshi cult arise!
@@kribyV_ yoshi = mid
Yoshi was always my main so I was always mildly annoyed that no one ever won majors with him. But is he viable?

Huzzah!
Poopoopeepeepoopoo

calling asum saus "king of melee" is like calling an algebra professor "the king of math"
Amsa is the definition of "the grind don't quit." Dude has taken Yoshi and made it his character since no one else wants to learn it
Not to mention him working full time while mastering and defining a character meta basically by himself.
Leffen could never
@@Wapfgaming
And basically creating the melee scene in japan
Strong work ethic is a foundation of Japanese culture. Translate that into a man determined to main Yoshi, and there you go.
I just watched that aMSa documentary and wow, I think he is my favorite player now. What a story. Such a great dude.
@@BrokenladderWait until you hear about M2K manually drawing frame by frame every single moves for every single characters
It's no longer about players, characters, or tournaments. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by foxes and falcos.
Melee--and it's consumption of stocks--has become a well-oiled machine.
Melee has changed.
I think it's about bringing that shit, Kazuma!

Wonder if Nintendo would be willing to sell Pez dispensers of all of Team Starfox?
holy shit you got me xDDDDDDDDDD underated comment
Damn the endlag on Asumsaus' uploads being 8 months is kind of brutal. Hope it gets buffed in 1.03
smh should've l-canceled
I think he missed the l cancel on his amsa video
Didn't video uploads autocancel?
danm, he should've just airdoged
It's ALWAYS a good day when AsumSaus uploads
Wow. This comment is so incredibly stupid on multiple levels its absurd
Whatever you say Millennial.
(Trying to make this the new “OK Boomer” because millennials suck just as much as Boomers do)
Indeed
so true man
its a holiday, because he uploads annually
You're so good at this, man. Never feel pressured to create. This is an art, a gift to the Smash community. We're lucky to have you, but if you're feeling burned out or otherwise uninterested in Melee content, that doesn't make you any lesser in our eyes. Every single video is a gift, a present from you to us. Thank you for everything you've done, and everything that I hope is to come!
Games that have far outlived their development cycle, to me, are the biggest labors of love out there. Melee continues to inspire, and you continue to put out baller content. Take whatever breaks you need, king. Thank you for the video.
I think a big thing you missed about PAL is that the weakest characters in the game were *barely* improved, while many of the top tiers were nerfed. I think this is the major reason that PAL isn't well liked. A fundamental fact about balancing games is that people hate nerfs, but love buffs. If PAL actually buffed the worst characters to a significant degree, then it would have been way more popular.
I agree
But it doesn't mean nerfs don't need to be made sometimes
I think you can imagine something like this as if some Smash 4 players refused to play the last version of the game because, idk, they played Bayonetta and she got nerfed
Kinda stupid.
I do believe the scene would be more diverse if ppl played PAL
A big what if would be what if they never released NTSC. Straight to PAL and people would probably find the same entertainment value because they had nothing to compare it to. It's unfortunately probably a worse side of human nature. If the Melee community was true to the game like the rest of the smash community is true to every digital buff in Ultimate, we'd see more diverse majors and I think it would be great for the game.
But everyone who has a say in what happens except for Amsa has chosen a top tier and is gatekeeping.
@@americantimemachine7128as asumsaus already said, the buffs and nerfs of pal really didn’t change much of anything in the grand scheme of the meta. Just look at the European scene from before they switched to NTSC. Pretty much the same set of characters were all popular.
@MercyMainBTW if you consider the timespan in which the game has thrived until now, of around twenty years, and how lengthy was the process for we to arrive at the current scene, I do think the size of the rest of the Smash scene outside of the USA and the time they had has impacted it really hard on it's development.
There's a nice video of Akshon Esports released a few days ago that simply commented superficially on the ruleset of the competitive game, and from its release to just the current stages list took around 6 or more years idk, to decide the stages list. The last solo Sheik to win a major was at 2004 and just now we had Amsa being the first solo Yoshi to win. 20 years. I do think the game should be played in PAL. Even if just a little, the other players and characters may have a better chance to succeed in an environment with a bit less dominant top tiers.
@@jonathanc3001 That's an extremely short-sighted view: popularity and viability are two completely separate categories. We have had Luigi and Samus, for example, place top 8 at majors. With how tight the top competition is, who is to say those characters would not have won in those situations with significant nerfs to the top tiers? Tier lists and popularity do not matter if real viability is much closer than it was before. PAL version should be tried when the meta seems stale. Right now it's a little better because of people like Axe and Amsa, but the rest of the top 100 might at least attract some sort of difference with a mixup.
Beyond that, we're still seeing meta changes and those meta changes might be more pronounced with better game balance.
The argument from a tier list perspective and tournament perspective from a smaller pool of a few years in Europe is just simply a bad argument.
i love the subtle change to falco's model, always startles me when he appears on screen
I always love when UA-camrs we haven’t seen in months return with more stuff to talk about, it’s always a nice surprise.
Like they never vanished
Melee has never been "my game" to play, but I've always loved learning more about it, following the community and ongoing sagas, learning about the history, and so on.
Thank you for your videos, AsumSaus. I admire how you and other content creators pour your time, effort and love into these videos to help keep the community well-fed, and to help people like me get more into this game and its scene. You've done great work for Melee, and it's always a treat to see you upload.
AsumSaus is a beacon in a community I have felt bittersweet about for awhile. Glad you managed an upload!
Why have you felt bittersweet about it? I'm not a part of it, so I'm genuinely curious.
@@bevvvy1374

@@bevvvy1374the Melee community has had a rough 6 months or so, what with the definitive cancellation of some of the best tournament series, organizations going under, and Nintendo being relentless in their quest to kill Melee for good. But we've seen worse and we'll recover, this is our game we're taking about
the melee community has had a *lot* of sex scandals relative to its size, to the point that it’s a running gag. it’s also just known for being extremely insular and toxic toward other games. that’s the bitter side, at least
@@mxnevermind I feel like thats more of the ult/smash4 community. Maybe I'm misinformed though.
IS THAT THE FLAP+FROG DESIRE DRIVE COVER I HEAR? You really do find anything touhou related in the most unexpected of places
In all seriousness, its nice to see you back, this is such an amazing video, with the explanation of just so many changed from unreleased versions of melee, as well as the difference between regional releases.
The *long neck Falco* really got me. I lost it when it kept coming back lol
I honestly don't get the joke

I'm always glad to see AsumSaus pop up in my feed, good to have you back!
im so glad the secret shield holding technique was acknowledged
Always a great year when Asum casually returns after 7 months
Ok, why on earth do I see you in almost every single video I watch?

To those who somehow made THAT section most viewed... I am so dissapointed
So sad that leffen's death changed the melee scene, nobody could have predicted hungrybox turning evil from the grief and taking over seattle with an army of jigglypuffs
Certified Hungrybox Day (TM)
You'd think being forced to constamtly rest wouldn't be so bad but god its hell
I haven't watched Melee for years now and this almost got me
You got me on the "leffen's death" ngl
he rested all over the funeral
This is why im subscribed. You always deliver a funny and informative video on a specific part of melee. Take all the time you need ill enjoy them all the same
^ low quality bait
we missed you, from all the content on youtube, you're kinda my favourite creator.
Mix between nostalgia, humour, vibe.
Just perfectè
I don't watch nor play Melee, you're the ONLY Melee content creator (and even Smash as a whole) I watch just by how qualitative your videos are and I often rewatch the older ones!
his videos made me want to try melee and now i've been going on slippi like, every day lol
@@musicfromtheinternet I do wanna try too ngl
@@Siinory i'd recommend it, its super fun!! at first i thought i wouldn't do well because i don't really know most of the advanced tech and stuff but i've gotten by just fine without being too good at stuff like wavedashing or l-cancelling (although the latter doesn't matter too much as i play G&W)
if you want to play on slippi and your computer isn't too great, there's a mod i saw called "diet melee" which lowers the graphics and makes it easier for computers to run. there's also a version that gives the whole game smash 64's art style which is so cool to me that i might try that one even though i don't need the extra performance
@@musicfromtheinternet I'm still afraid of playing Melee.
Me too ! I’ve only played melee once with one of my friends yet this guys videos makes it so interesting 😭
i’m surprised this guy has so many subscribers not because of how quality the videos are, but because of how small the community is. he’s really making magic happen
1:19 lord have mercy
Brothers, we must stay focused

Thanks, I needed that.
this made me laugh so hard when I saw this in the video

Dear god the editing is always so good on these.
Polished to a mirror sheen

Glad to see you back! Since you where gone I’ve gone to uni to study video editing with you as probably my largest inspiration for doing so! ❤
Just finished re-binging all his Melee videos yesterday and I come home to this. Incredible content as always, AsumSaus!
Yeeeeo! I was literally looking for videos on this channel yesterday and the latest was 7 months ago until now!
Welcome back!
Currently going through harsh emotional turmoil, this video was all I needed to make it to the next day, last few ending words on the video are pure art and we should be more than grateful to have AsumSaus around. Thank you AsumSaus
Babe.
Asumsaus dropped.
Wake up, babe.
I hope this meme never dies
i hope this meme dies.
Right as I had just started rewatching a ton of your videos, welcome back!
It's still insane to me that I'm not too fond of Melee as a game, but when it's an AsumSaus video, I just watch it with such fascination LOL
I cannot stress how amazing your editing is, it's really captivating and fun! It truly is an inspiration for me! (that I cant replicate unfortunately lmao)
ALSO FACE REVEAL?!?! Cool to see :D
It's amazing just how timeless games can be if they have the right community and people to drive it forward and they will never seem to truly be dead, over 20 years of this game and change is still happening is just crazy to me. Kinda reminds me of TF2.
THE KING HAS RETURNED!! I love your work, and holy shit this video is one of the best you've put out!!
I just wanna say, the editing in this video is absolutely killer. Thank you AsumSaus
Eh. It’s ok
I'm sure you've seen it a thousand times by now, but damn Asum your editing skills are slick. Loving how great these videos are to watch, let alone how informational they can be too. Keep up the awesome content!
i fucking love i knew which part was going to be the most replayed
☠️☠️☠️
I was legit on a watching marathon for this channel and then it decides to upload again. Thank you for continuing to making me hip with the adults
0:59 well this caught me off guard
Why is he attractive
Finally, someone with the courage to add the Falco buff we've been asking for for decades. Welcome back, AsumSaus.
Well, here we are in 20XX, and Yoshi is out there winning major tournaments. Who ever would have thought?
Egg time
20🥚🥚
The year is 20YY. Everyone plays Yoshi at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The Rock Paper Scissors metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches. Humanity has reached its pinnacle. The low tier peasants are living in poverty. It seems nothing can stop the great leader of 20YY, Masaya "aMSa" Chikamoto, and his army, the Yoshi monks who live in great monasteries where they levitate while TASing Yoshi with one hand, and winning tournaments with the other. The tournament metagame has gotten to this point where everything is played out to theoretical perfection, so tournament goers play Rock Paper Scissors for port priority, and that’s the game.

Godlike commentary and unparalleled editing as usual, always a pleasure to see an AsumSaus vid.
That drag and drop edit at 1:46 👌
You are the editing GOAT of Melee, holy hell those transition and screen effects are so good. Intriguing atmosphere and in-game stuff all at the same time too. Hahah well done bro.
As someone who got into melee recently due to your videos, I am so happy to see you upload again. I’ve been playing falco because it’s fun. Also, nice face reveal :)
Your editing is always top notch. Good to see you back :)
That thumbnail. Im dead.
I’m so glad you’re back, your vid’s have an interesting but fascinating history with me lmao
6:50 I love the ign styled review with the indictation that it is a shine
asumsaus videos changed, and i love it, the change is subtle, but the video editing is masterful, you never cease to amaze.
Y'know, the list of creators that can instantly bring a smile to my face and make a day even somewhat better no matter how tiring it has been is really small.
Thank you AsumSaus, for being a continuied beacon for the community in both as a content creator and as a advocate for maintaining competitive intrigue in a 20 year old game we refuse to let die off.
your videos are so mesmerizing. 9 minutes doesn't seem like a long time but you get so sucked in and it feels like its so much longer than it is. your editing and style just is unmatched man
Melee is the best living and active memory. So much nostalgia and newness to a game considered so old.
THE RETURN OF THE KING!
on a real it's really nice to see a new upload, my only source of base melee knowledge is from these vids, so it's always nice when these pop up in the sub box
1:00 *FACE REVEAL* WOOOOO👀👀! Ngl you look like walt i hope that’s not a bad compliment question mark. Yeah,very nice👏🦖
Stg I thought to myself yesterday, “Did I miss an AsumSaus upload?” And checked the channel to see. Talk about good timing
I hope Ultimate has a legacy even close to Melee. I love Ultimate and its massive celebratory nature, and its definitive roster. I fear that people don’t appreciate enough how much work and love was put in, and all the effort put into adjusting. Plus stage builder continues to provide hilarity. That said, Melee earned its place, and I don’t want it forgotten or replaced.
Another great day to be on youtube. The king! The king is back!!
I love how the "most watched" graph peaks on that zelda spot. you degenerates.
Natural conclusion of the sexual revolution, degenerates who lose their minds over a fake 3d model of a woman.
Ok you can F right off with that editing at the end with the switching stages. That was so cool lol. Well done. You got an audible “fk off, whattt?0 out of me lol
2:22 dang this is the universe where we didnt get raichu for the next 3 smash games

5:00 I recognize that melody. It's Desire Drive from Touhou.
YESS! I had to do a double take and check out the Pastebin just to confirm, and what do you know I find a new touhou music arranger in flap+Frog
