@@Tocinos r u srs? He’ll show up and save someone from certain death. There are players who seem to always know where Randal is and are capable of using him to their advantage but even those players will admit, it’s more a matter of luck wether Randal arrives at the right time or not
Hot Take: TOs should post VODs to a separate channel and stop posting anything below top 24. The UA-cam algorithm cares a lot about the percentage of uploads subscribers watch. So by uploading videos that, objectively, not a lot of people care about, they are tanking melee's overall viewcount. Not to mention that the gigantic playlists that they *do* post aren't sorted and make the viewing experience for people who missed the streams abysmal. Stop overworking yourselves making thumbnails and cutting up the entire tournament, TOs. Just post the VOD and then top 24.
Less stages is definitely worse. I could never get into that one street fighter game or marvel vs capcom cause they always play on that nothing training stage or whatever. Same with Smash 4 and Ultimate.
fd used to be my fav stage when i was learning the game but as soon as i learned to move around platforms my playstyle completely fell apart without them and i am god awful at fd
"stock gamecube controller should be the best" I disagree so fundamentally, We should be striving to make Melee more comfortable. we're all so used to the upsides of gamecube controllers that we seem to forget that the gamecube controller sucks MAD dick, it is uncomfortable garbage, the stick degrades so easily and the gates aren't calibrated well, the triggers are horrible, the stock z button feels atrocious, and even basic things like the ergonomics of the controller are just dogshit. we play on cut springs with perforated contacts and hall effect sticks, even without notches we've done so much to improve the function of the Garbage controller we're all stuck to that it's insane so many people are against a modern, comfortable, and functional option.
I don't know about the one saying that a lot of players don't have fun with melee, I recently have been unable to play melee for the past month and sure I'm having lots of fun playing terraria, but I just want to get back to playing friendlies all day. It's unlike anything else.
Also BIG W on Brawl casual Smash 64 is fun due to incidental comboing but the items aren't great Melee is too heavy for a lot of stages and the items are arguably the worst Smash 4 is Smash 4, Next. Ultimate is a good blend, but the Pokemon and Assist trophies lack the insane jank of Brawl
Did viewership go down after hbox descent from nr. 1? At least I watched way less after Summit 11. And I watched way less ultimate after mkleos descent. Idk it could be that I unconsciously watch less, because there was no clear nr. 1 who also had legendary status because of the previous era/eras? Btw armadas reign was my favorite era.
I disagree on Mango not being able to catch back up for one reason alone Hungrybox is currently 2-0 in sets with Cody for this year. If that statistic exists, then ANYTHING can happen
I think the tournament or replay uploads are fine, idk why people hate smash fusion so much. He deletes stuff if people ask and will stop posting their stuff
I been playin smash since 64. Started L cancelling n like 2004-2005. I play melee still becuz it is the most fun game. I don't rly care about being good. It's fun to win. It's fun to improve. It's fun to play well. But I just play the game becuz the game is fun as hell.
smashfusion didnt do anything wrong. jmook cried about it which caused all this drama when jmook wasn't even uploading to begin with. were you hiding secrets in your friendlies...that you STREAMED. like come on
fountain is waaaayyy worse than yoshis story if anything ban or have frozen fountain. Yoshis isnt as bad, Randall giveth and taketh away. But fountain platforms move so much and constantly fuck over combos and create tons of reversals.
My take is that its not so bad that tourneys live around 10 iterations cuz it cements eras. Kind of like the kings of cali and mlg :3 mango nation back
5:40 people still show up to tournaments and crash on peoples floor. Ask any michigan player about the bodied series and the wild after parties, I doubt thats the minority. at a regional level people are still totally communal. its different forsure, but like, acting like it doesnt happen is just wrong fr. nearly every out of state regional ive been to has been a hell of a good time. Even hotel parties at super majors are so freaking fun.
i don’t think the 2 year box player is actually close to close to having your tech skill i think they are better than you think they should be and that frustrates you, they do have access to jump constantly like z jump and 1.0 cardinals but i don’t think 2 year players have consistency in extended sequences realistically
People who cry about b0xxes are just scrubs who lost to a b0xx player in round 2 of pools. If it was as broken as they claim, wouldn't there be more than hax, swift, and pipsqueak getting halfway decent results? Every tournament has TONS of b0xx players. wild how none of them are breaking out at nationals. I can't wait for bad players to tell me how they're not bad, everyone they lose to is just cheating.
90% of rectangle controller discourse is from scrubs who lost to a random Frame1 player in round 2 of pools. And just use the rectangle controller as a shield for their egos. And I'm sure I'll have some of them being salty about this comment. Nerds.
Double fox is not so much better than fox + other good character that it warrants a ban. I think the problem with fox in doubles is more so the fact that having a fox on your team is just an indispensable advantage, more so than that two foxes are so overwhelming
What about just removing chain grabs? Put a cooldown on grabbing or make it go stale where maybe the animation becomes slower the more spam it. This would also fix some part of FD

Double fox is broken. You just gotta play Overcooked for a few hours before bracket to get the chemistry on lock 😂
playing Overcooked either locks in the chemistry and they do well, or it completely destroys it lol
can you imagine being shinespiked after being shinespiked?
@@alexsmart007if it destroys it then it was never meant to be
"Less stages is more boring."
*Looks at Smash Ultimate* Speak your truth. Let the heathens and neanderthals hear your word.
My hot take is dash attack combos are cool😂
the 4 minute take i agree with, i have some games that are 3-4 mins in spacie dittos and 8 is perfectly fine
Moky has he correct take on Project M being best casual smash game, I would know. I played lucas and ike in PM 12 years ago and did just that
"Brawl is the best casual smash game" ...what is he smok-
"and PM" ...he right.
sick ass vid lfg
If I had one dollar for every time ppl were saying mango was washed
mang0 beats cody twice at a tournament 3 days later lmao. I know they meant mang0 will never be a top 2 player again but its still funny.
he won one lols
"Mang0 will never catch up Cody and Zain"
ROFLLLLLLLLL
He might be unfair but Randall makes for some really hype moments and some crazy tech that wouldn’t be possible otherwise
How is Randall unfair?

on this; they should start posting entire top 8 vods instead of individual matches imo (or both)
@@dontcaremate Not a bad idea, although some people just like to watch Grands. They could use the UA-cam chapter system for that.
That twit about Mang0 and he double eliminated Cody this weekend lol
Less stages is definitely worse. I could never get into that one street fighter game or marvel vs capcom cause they always play on that nothing training stage or whatever. Same with Smash 4 and Ultimate.
Meanwhile Mang0 just destroyed Cody in both Winners and Losers
fraser editing so clean let’s fucking go
And mang0 just waxed Cody twice. This aged like milk 😂
And again
as of a month later mango beat both zain and cody (cody 3 - 0)
honestly the stage list is good as it is, fd is a super unbalanced stage but imagine melee without it
fd used to be my fav stage when i was learning the game but as soon as i learned to move around platforms my playstyle completely fell apart without them and i am god awful at fd
Remove FD add Frozen AND Unfrozen Stadium.
The fact that the most barebones stage is the unbalanced one says something. I don't what, but something
if i could perma ban fd i would instantly it’s an awful stage
@@Ghoats I have never read something more relatable in my life
That take aged like milk
GRsmash is a fringe case. it was specific clips and each video had a theme. channels like smashfusion clearly just rip the stream with a corny title

All this yapping to justify using cheater controllers
@@jakes9519except for the part where I play stock.
ROFL
Moky is far too kind on some absolutely braindead takes in this, jeez some people's brains are wack
I don't know about the one saying that a lot of players don't have fun with melee, I recently have been unable to play melee for the past month and sure I'm having lots of fun playing terraria, but I just want to get back to playing friendlies all day. It's unlike anything else.
My hot take is that Marth is the best character. The data over the years supports it /shrug
Randall never robs edge guards , he’s on a timer so that’s on you to just know the game better 💯
Don't doubt the kid. He may have gotten older but he's still the kid.
Bro you can literally just grind tech and be a PR local Fox player in most regions. S tier at not learning the game.
i would tune in for rishis jungle jam instead of doubles
since this video mango has beaten cody 3x and zain 1x in a brutal 3-0
Also BIG W on Brawl casual
Smash 64 is fun due to incidental comboing but the items aren't great
Melee is too heavy for a lot of stages and the items are arguably the worst
Smash 4 is Smash 4, Next.
Ultimate is a good blend, but the Pokemon and Assist trophies lack the insane jank of Brawl

My take is that its not so bad that tourneys live around 10 iterations cuz it cements eras. Kind of like the kings of cali and mlg :3 mango nation back
10:16 I mean I can kind of see your point about his Falco vs PPMD's but cmon I think he's at least still top 30 SMH
Title is now washed

but ye it def has changed in some ways
i don’t think the 2 year box player is actually close to close to having your tech skill i think they are better than you think they should be and that frustrates you, they do have access to jump constantly like z jump and 1.0 cardinals but i don’t think 2 year players have consistency in extended sequences realistically
box is still broken but ease of reaching near your level is very different than ease of reaching your level
BLABBERING
holy shit fraser editing everything like what
good shit
in terms of bad stages i think fd is way worse than yoshis
4:44 i could see this being a different category like doubles, basically like a rapid / bullet game of chess compared to the 8minute standard format
i could see it being 5 min instead of 4min
@16:38 i feel called tf out as a washed up doc kid
mang0 can he just needs to be more consistent
Loved this! Hat is super cool too
moky u changed my mind im an unfrozen stadium fan now
not when im playing tho just spectating
did he skip squid's take
Lil bro is still YAPPIN
Anybody know the song at 6:20?
believe it's the Winters theme from Earthbound
yee la

Sheik is a slower fox. Everything comboes, everything has counterplays, you get hit hard, most players are not creative with the character.

Yeah it’s hard to beat cheaters
@@jakes9519 instead of complaining, try getting good at the game. If someone beats you on a box, they would have also beaten you with a gcc.
@@zog6940 cheater propaganda I will not stand for.
@@jakes9519 crying won't make you any better at the children's party game
@@zog6940like box cheaters complaining about hand pain and muh ergonomics so they don’t go back to being 0-2ers on gcc
Mid 2021-2022 was so obviously the best melee era it’s laughable to suggest any other era was better
Double fox is not so much better than fox + other good character that it warrants a ban. I think the problem with fox in doubles is more so the fact that having a fox on your team is just an indispensable advantage, more so than that two foxes are so overwhelming
spent 20 minutes looking for a song from this... was the ff6 town theme
Good vid tho

What about just removing chain grabs?
Put a cooldown on grabbing or make it go stale where maybe the animation becomes slower the more spam it.
This would also fix some part of FD
Removing chaingrabs would hurt the worse characters sooo much more than the high tiers though
Doc would be a hella dead character yeah 😂
@@wettuna1769 Honestly, I don't care that much. I think chaingrabs are bad for the game because it removes player agency, look at wobbling.
Melee was never designed to have all characters be balanced with one another (however they did a freakishly good job at this at the higher tiers somehow)
I wouldn't be against giving really bad characters a few buffs to make up for removing the chain grab, I personally just hate being stuck in a cinematic while my opponent presses one button
@@dodde216di matters unlike wobbling and this would be p arbitrary, wobbling was just a grab is a kill and the other player can't do anything.
Ain't no one buffing characters and removing chain grabs
heres my hot take: calling melee an expressive game is as cringe as it gets
"Gamecube controller should be the best"? What kinda statement is that.
"I think my car should be the fastest car in the world". Well it isn't.
