20XX fox only was the bad future timeline. Welcome to 20DK, where everyone is trying to make their bottom half character considered a viable threat. I wonder who’s next
I probably would be very different than junebug if the roles were reversed I probably hit the griddy or do a fornite emote dance after I win especially if I win the tournament so I don’t really care that my opponent got robbed all that matters is that I won.
I chalk that up to how negative top players are about playing against DK. Like how Hbox talked after his best of 5 against Junebug at Nouns. Hbox even had to qualify the hate as "I love Junebug BUT...". Junebug seems like a chill dude that wouldn't want to rub more salt into some already very salty opponents' wounds. I wish top players would chill on the DK hate a bit, it comes off as petulant and whiny. Like, sorry y'all, you have to learn another match up, suck it up and do it.
@@lasagnahog7695 Just the usual salt one gets after either losing or having a close set to a """mid-tier""". Junebug is cracked tho, and I like that people have to start admitting that DK is a good character, and learn the MU.
@@lasagnahog7695 yeah like we don't get "updates" to this game. The way it stays fresh is the already established meta evolves through human experimentation. DK becoming good is healthy for the game, and anyone who has salt for DK players are acting pretty selfish. Melee got more fun when Yoshi started taking tournaments. It's getting more fun now that DK can too.
@@supermariomaker1734 if I were dropping pros at tournies with a DK I'd be popping off too so I totally understand. It's why I think it's so funny that June basically gives his opponent the Zuko "that's rough buddy" after beating the brakes off em.
It’s 20M-T, and every Mid Tier has been pushed to the limit of viability. Every match is no longer decided by stock count, but innovation battles, in which players demonstrate new tech and concepts until a winner is sorted higher on the tier list.
The year is 20KK (Koopa King). The age of Innovation Battles has resulted in Bowser being ranked the #1 character. 98% of matches are Bowser dittos. The final remaining Ganondorf player fights tooth and nail for 16th place.
17:20 This is the second video I've seen where you've added a little "You can skip this part if its too nerdy for you" Preamble. I don't think you need it. Where all here for the same thing and want to see it all. We're nerding out with you too! :)
All the top players are like "ehhh Donkey Kong is a gimmick character, he can't do anything if he can't grab" and the rest of us just fucking love watching June's DK.
Smash players look down on a lot of things that are normal in other fighters. Every fighting game has grapplers. Zangeif in SF, Jax in MK, King in Tekken. Junebug's DK is hype I don't care what people say
I feel like it's worth noting that 2013-2015 were PM's most popular years and that June being rank 1 in 2015 is extremely impressive and shows that he is a top tier smasher. It's always glossed over in these kinds of videos, but PM was legit!
I feel like were in Junebug's second arc. He had to climb like hell to make it to the main arena with the top guys. Now begins his second climb to the throne of glory.
I am loving that mid to low tier characters are getting their time in the sun. Last year it was Amsa with Yoshi. This year it's Junebug with DK. Maybe next year we will get a Mario that makes top 10
I remember watching WW2 dog fight shows on the history channel where they showed us the dog fight in 3d with models and its crazy that your doing that same thing with melee today. Major love. ❤
How do you get clips like the ones at 10:26? Are you getting a hold of the actual .slp replay files from the tournament, or just recreating the combos on your own setup?
Walt thank you for creating such amazing content that allows fan of competitive Melee to further invest in something they enjoy. This stuff is awesome, and lots of hard work. That timeline looks nuts haha. Cant wait to see what the rest of 2024 holds for Melee!
okay but can you stop bringing up the first ever tierlist? it had zelda above jiggly puff, captain falcon, peach, icies, pikachu, and samus, which is frankly crackhead placements. also ganon above cpt. falcon? also mario at 5? also jiggle and ness being in the same tier? it's the most dogshit tierlist in the history of fighting games. how do you play cpt falcon and go "Yeah, bottom ten."
I had a dream last night that I became the aMSa/Junebug equivalent for Mewtwo. Absolutely no chance of that ever happening and practically no chance of any player managing to make it happen but my gawd would that be cool.
hey do you guys know if anybody's talking about this recent DK surge we've got I wanna know more about it preferably in video form but nobody's making them
Was about to comment the same thing. If you don’t try to read it and just go by what you’ve heard people call him, it’s pretty simple. And yea kumquat and Quang (his old tag) are also acceptable. I know Walt is just meming but it’s not that hard to pronounce
Yes! One of my favorites of all time. Such an amazing game. The old version is still free to play as well, so anyone reading this should just go play it.
Peach will be the one true SSS Tier character, people will eventually figure out everything about turnip science and will be able to force out any item they want from turnip at will.
Rap snitches, tellin' all their business Sit in the court and be their own star witness "Do you see the perpetrator?" Yeah, I'm right here Fuck around, get the whole label sent up for years, uh
Awesome vid, as always. I gotta ask - how is it that people can take the footage from tournament games and change the camera perspective? Like aren't the tournaments played on gamecube, meaning that the only thing we have left afterward is the video footage that was shown during the game? Are the game data files saved somehow?

Walt, this is the third time you’ve shown Donkey Kong in class
It’s different this time I swear
Its the fourth time if you include ult lmao
@@char1194 No thanks.
Banger
@@hushpuppi3 Heh… Melee is just way more complex and harder than ultimate ☝️🤓
Hey guys its me donkey kong
Hi DK 👋
WAIT
Hey guys, it’s Donkey Kong from the hit game Donkey Kong.
THE LEADER OF THE BUNCH
I love you donkey Kong!!!! ❤

UNLEASH THE DOC
Deff rooting for noon at dpotg
if they speed up with that 2.0.0 update hopefully ness
Mario Party has long prophesied the Bowser Revolution...
Wait is actually is. Pikachu, yoshi, dk, now we have to get samus, doc, and luigi on board!
I love the way Junebug looks after each set. It's like he's empathizing with the person he just beat.

The dk glaze continues and I live for it

dk donkey kong

@@definitelydoctorproctor Bro skipped over half the lyrics
@@InmateOmighty dk donkey kong
the kongmaxing never stops, the monkey demands more content
Rapp Snitch Knishes with a Donkey Kong Country sound font is dope as hell
I consider the DOOM version a cover at this point
@2:45 - "I've been playing smash for 16 years, started with Brawl"
nooo, I'm ooooooooooold!!!11!
17:20

I don't play this game, none of this makes sense to me, and those are still my favorite parts 😂
I second this. I probably haven't played melee for 20 years I just want the analysis.
1:17 bro got addicted to composting 💀 be careful around those biodegradables, kids
Bro he said “kong-posting” LMAO
Fantastic take
@@snare97 Haha yes, I am aware. I did it for the meme and at least 34 people appreciated it ;)
I unironically thought he said this the first time tbh. Brain rotted into compost.

A third donkey kong video has hit the tower sir.
"hello, my name is Junebug... I've been living in a cave for 16 years. I am a monkey now"
I feel like it's worth noting that 2013-2015 were PM's most popular years and that June being rank 1 in 2015 is extremely impressive and shows that he is a top tier smasher. It's always glossed over in these kinds of videos, but PM was legit!
We doubted him, but it turns out he is the leader of the bunch after all.
Nice pfp
You can't stop Walt. it's no longer 20XX, now it's 20DK and you will post DK whether you like it or not!
i click on all these dk videos just to hear that sweet sweet dk rap snitches beat
The best part of all this is we got a DK Eggdog.
I feel like were in Junebug's second arc. He had to climb like hell to make it to the main arena with the top guys. Now begins his second climb to the throne of glory.
If the bracket goes as predicted, Junebug and Zain will play at pataka esports festival in top 8.
I am loving that mid to low tier characters are getting their time in the sun. Last year it was Amsa with Yoshi. This year it's Junebug with DK. Maybe next year we will get a Mario that makes top 10
Melee finally got a true grappler character
Donkey's Kong Quest of Melee is progressing. Galleon will arrive.
I hope every DK video you make from here on continues to open with DK soundfont Coffin Nails, it's too good
loved the analysis! learned a lot :D
this is next level dong expanding and we must embrace it
I remember watching WW2 dog fight shows on the history channel where they showed us the dog fight in 3d with models and its crazy that your doing that same thing with melee today. Major love. ❤
goated editing as per usual
Hey guys its me Junebug

walt your vids really are great for the scene. another killer upload. lookin forward to the next one.
I wonder who the next Melee DLC character is: Link? Game n Watch? Mewtwo? Its going to be so interesting seeing where melee is 5 years from now
5:47 Cave Story music, I absolutely love that game.
I was literally just about to comment this
I love rap snitches, one of my favorite hip hop beats

Back then people didn't have all the movement and out-of-shield tech we have now. Zelda's fair and bair were way better in that meta
yeah that 1st tierlist is p irrelevant considering how much changed in the first few years of melee's release
Love the vids walt!!!
It was awesome to see you on the brawlhalla tournament stream!
Love the stream of content Walt. Hope you're resting well brotha
4:02 FWOB REFERENCE!!! WHAT TF IS A BOAT!!!!!
Hey man I love your videos. I just subbed
14:41 FLASH PARTY SOUNDTRACK, WHAT THE HELL IS A NON CHEESE GAME🔥🗣️💯🔥🗣️💯
Bro Kongposting is the best. Junebug is the Goat. And DK is the leader of the bunch
MANGO MANGO MAN.. oh wait wrong video 😅
I thoroughly enjoyed the breakdown on the Moky game last stock
>No Balance Patches
So the PAL version just doesn't exist now?
He has plenty o' style. He has plenty o' grace. This Kong smashed a Fox's face!
great quality as always.
i like watching your videos about melee more than i like playing it recently
14:42 Yooo. Flash Party music, let's go.
we're still talking about donkey kong
I did not have DK becoming a threat in melee on my 2024 bingo card. Great video (commenting for the algorithm)
junebug the homie
I can’t get enough of your DK vids though
Whenever I see your prof Pic, all I see is gear 5 Luffy
This is objectively true
The more DK the better. Hopefully Ganon could get similar love again. That crew battle made an impact for sure.
Love the Jet Set Radio OST choice!
Great thumbnail, you should split test it with a textless version if you’re not already.
Junebug induced monkey based breakdown
Multiple JSRF songs in one video is 👌👌👌
I love the use of the green screen.
Cant wait to see June fight Wizzy and Zain
"Addicted to kongposting" Isn't a phase I expected to hear in this video.
Love the DI maps a lot
Junebug and his consequences have been a disaster for the melee scene.
Poor mokie 😂 0:56
You cant stop the return to monke
I had a dream last night that I became the aMSa/Junebug equivalent for Mewtwo. Absolutely no chance of that ever happening and practically no chance of any player managing to make it happen but my gawd would that be cool.
I feel like I've seen this same video 4 times now...
DK is the new Ice Climbers.
Your videos are so good.
Thumbs up for the MF Doom audio. Cheers editor!
Was about to get mad that June ditched that Doc tournament for a magic show but then I saw it was Shin Lim. I would've done the same tbh
RIP salt stonks
hey do you guys know if anybody's talking about this recent DK surge we've got I wanna know more about it preferably in video form but nobody's making them
3:30 it’s not even hard to say. Kyle-mick-nuh-date-er
Or kumquat in cylinder
Was about to comment the same thing. If you don’t try to read it and just go by what you’ve heard people call him, it’s pretty simple. And yea kumquat and Quang (his old tag) are also acceptable. I know Walt is just meming but it’s not that hard to pronounce
That beginning caught me so off guard 😂😂
Lol same
omg the jet set radio music
Hey guys it's me junebug
It is not, in fact, Junebug
hey guys its me junebug
Hey guys, it’s me junebug
Julybug
More kongposting please
3rd DK video of the last 5 recent uploads 🗿🔥
Love the cave story soundtrack 🙌🏻
Yes! One of my favorites of all time. Such an amazing game. The old version is still free to play as well, so anyone reading this should just go play it.
I saw rishi DK play a few times and wondered why he didn't have a place in the "meta"
Peach will be the one true SSS Tier character, people will eventually figure out everything about turnip science and will be able to force out any item they want from turnip at will.
Rap snitches, tellin' all their business
Sit in the court and be their own star witness
"Do you see the perpetrator?" Yeah, I'm right here
Fuck around, get the whole label sent up for years, uh
amazing work
I did just Wonder, when will Walt turn in another piece on donkey kong, its been at least a week without one.
"He smelled blood in the water and then took it to the bank' 🤔
there is a reason why dk is banned in this very house, for almost 20 years now. no i wont elaborate.
I don't want to come to your house
i will pick dk anyway
Quang's name is apparently "kumquat cylinder" interspliced if dont want to just say "that" lol
They should have given him the coconut gun
1:18 me when i play stardew valley
I havent slept in 14 days, I want to see my family again. Editing is the only thing he said that would get me out of his basement
See y'all next month for our mandatory Walt DK post
Awesome vid, as always. I gotta ask - how is it that people can take the footage from tournament games and change the camera perspective? Like aren't the tournaments played on gamecube, meaning that the only thing we have left afterward is the video footage that was shown during the game? Are the game data files saved somehow?
Got here in the first 5 minutes.
In the get up attack bit, would moky have gotten the kill if the shine before the upsmash also hit?
