There are but the vods at lost to time he also went 9th at super smash con 2015 brawl with lucario. In fact Junebug was Brawl player before he played melee since 2010
If this sounds like you, consider switching your mindset considering Tiers. It’s not ‘this is how bad this character is’, it’s ‘this is how hard this character has to fight to win’. And June is willing to fight that hard. You know him well!
@pickle24 Yeah I know I put it right there in my comment, it’s just a way of seeing the same concept with a more positive, less dismissive mindset. But if I had to go off this one comment from you, I’d say you probably like it more on the negative, dismissive side of things 😀
I think that’s just him being. Is he Indian? Middle Eastern? Not sure but in a lot of American media at least a sage is often depicted as someone of those ethnicity’s
This is the best melee timeline ever! So proud of you June this is seriously amazing!! Let the perceived low / mid tier renaissance continue! Seriously AMAZING accomplishment. So crazy, too crazy, jeezussss
The last game of the tournament was absolutely nuts. Randall meaningfully intervened multiple times. There were several stock-saving offstage meteor cancels and techs. There was an f-smash read. Shy Guys both caused Junebug to miss an up air at 21:00 and helped Junebug to safely stall out his recovery at 22:22. Also, Junebug's neutral in game one of set two was *chef's kiss*.
Man what a testament to how good June is at this game, and really to the viability of dk. These games were right, and salt’s punish game is one of the best in melee especially against dk. I don’t know how you can really argue dk can’t win a major, though idk if it will happen anytime soon. When June won xanadu you could argue it was a fluke or an undeveloped meta, but when he continues getting results *this* good while top players have undeniably learned how to play against dk and respect the matchup, how can you even argue
@@saffyonthebeat2447 it’s not an unwinnable matchup but yeah, sure, sheik is a hard obstacle to dk, just as she is to yoshi and pika; yoshi is definitely a better character, pika is probably so, but I also think the representation of those two characters is much better than that of dk and we’re still seeing dk win in his worse matchups (I mean, falcon is probably up there with sheik and this was a blowout against one of his best reps)
Huge congrats to junebug for getting the bracket reset and winning, but I'm going to have to disagree with falcon being one of DK's worst matchups. neither character has projectiles, so DK doesn't get camped, DK can 0-death and edgeguard falcon easily, falcon doesn't have any frame 1 punish moves like fox or falco do so DK can slip in an up b to get out of pressure, DK is heavy so the timing to combo him from grab is tight for falcon, and DK can scrap with him really well. Given it's still a bad matchup since falcon still has a wicked punish game against him (as he does against the rest of the cast) but I think sheik, fox, samus, puff, and falco all are significantly worst matchups for him because he either can't deal with the projectiles, or can't combo them as easily.
Don’t listen to most commentators for actual Melee knowledge lol, they rarely know what theyre talking about I figured out. Unless they specifically play the MU themselves, HMW comes to mind where he actually knows good MU knowledge with Falco/Fox but yea when neither of the commentators play the characters on the screen they wont know much about it.
If I had a nickel for every incredibly explosive set between a heavy weight, mid tier, and one of the most well-known captain Falcons. I’d have two nickels (skyjay and fatality is till one of the best ultimate sets of all time)
1:25 ... just to throw it out there for future commentary, dk up b has a hit box above and behind his head and low in front of his feet. it's just that people are used to not wanting to be in front of shields in lag, but dk can punish hitting the back of his shield uniquely well.
I think something that melee commentary need to implement with match ups you're not experienced in is to default more to play by play. It minimizes misinformation and keeps it honest. More play by play for mid/low tiers please. No hate just productive criticism 🎉🎉🎉
JUNEBUG KEEPING THE SPIRIT OF MELEE ALIVE WITH THIS MUCH DESERVED VICTORY........NOW IF HE CAN DO THAT TO WIZZY IN A MAJOR, THAT WOULD STAMP A TOP 3 GREATEST ALL-TIME MOMENT IN SSBM HISTORY.
What the fuck 😂 the double knee off of Randall was the sickest thing I've seen in a while, I can't tell if that was a mistake or just an extremely good play
I hear it too, but nipple doesn't have a different sfx unless modded in, and looking at the stomp it doesn't seem to be a nipple spike. So it's a mystery indeed why it played that sound
DK just won a melee tournament in 2024. The Bible said there will be signs. Jesus is coming back.
Hallelujah! xD
Loooool.
Amen
LMAO
He is! Jesus that is :D
21:45 to 22:15 is actually an insane sequence
Yeah had to rewatch it about 4 times to even understand what happened lol both of them were on some ultra instinct type shit
I was expecting an upthrow upair upair upair upair upair upair and ppl calling it the sickest combo ever lol
It's called a Wobble. Get over it.

Sadly sheik counters donkey kong. That’s the main issue with viability with him.

Junebugという名前がサムネにあったら開いちゃう
お互い一回触ったら１ストック消えるくらい破壊力があるからこそ、緊張感のあるステップ戦が面白い！
日本人もみてくれて嬉しいね
20DK! Junebug is so sick
5:40 Look at salt's player cam. Seeing top players genuinely enjoy moments like this is so fun.
Facts, he was having mad fun and locked in. I honestly thought Salt was gonna take the W here. Junebug impressed.
i can’t imagine being mad playing against donkey kong to be real
@@BathwaterBender yeah Junebug was having mad fun and locked in i agree
I can't wait for the sequel documentary. This will be the halfway point and it ends with a DK major win
a mind like Junebug's in the body of a DK is a gift to us all, could've chosen fox or some shit but nope, LEADER OF THE BUNCH
16:37, reject Modernity, embrace the Monke...
I never noticed how extra the effect on monkey punch is but seeing it on the black background of battlefield holy moly that shit bright
THE READDDD
THE YEAR IS 20DK
dam...just realized junebug even has tech to make sure the enemy dies first in the kidnap. he ended the set with his stock intact. lfg junebug!!
This is the greatest grand finals of all time. Well done to both players
NO WAY... LETS GOOOOO!
june gets better game by game as he adapts and learns the match. that knee sequence from salt in game two was incredible
Now thats a hype grand finals
PM excellence once again. great set from both salts knee into walljump knee was nuts
5:06 this might be the biggest come back in smash history
2024 melee is such a treat to watch 😀 the meta is constantly evolving 🐒🍌
Hell yeah, Good to see DK's get wins in any capacity
5:00 was sick
Was hoping June would unleash the GDorf after that! 😂
It's a Wobble. It's not that impressive.

@@jebril the commentators were saying its a bad MU cause Junebug himself was saying that earlier
@@Thierce weird didn't seem that way lol, maybe Wizzrobe or some other Falcon makes him feel that way though.
Seeing this gives me hope :3
5:00 might be the best reversal ever done in the history of the game. Please give me better examples
This was a fun watch! Let's go, Junebug!!!
Junebug seriously makes dk look like a top 10 character contender
my favorite part about the commentators is when dk is on screen and they constantly spew monkey jokes, peak commentary
You can’t call falcons combos “air wobbles”.
HES FINALLY BACK! HES SO F-ING BACK!
I was catching up on the melee scene and saw the thumbnail having DK in grand finals. This is insane.
Amazing work from both 👏🏼 let's go Junebugg 🙌🏼
I love how he just has to take over commentary
Junebug's composure throughout these sets was incredible to watch
Rooting for him to make it into the eggdog invitational!!
That was so fun to watch. Phenomenal DK play 💪
watching june play is amazing
Soooo hype!!! Amazing Job Junebug
junebug is becoming one of my favorite players
Salt's slide off knee off of randall into wall jump second knee for Junebug's third stock was amazing
awesome to see Junebug just destroy two sets in grands. Congrats bud!
If I had a nickel for every incredibly explosive set between a heavy weight, mid tier, and one of the most well-known captain Falcons. I’d have two nickels (skyjay and fatality is till one of the best ultimate sets of all time)
Awesome set. Wow. Let's go Junebug.
5:01 now that was an utterly insane reversal right there, holy moly
Cool finals and cool commentary, really enjoyable stuff! Love seeing Junebug kill it on DK but I hope to see Salt get more sick combos soon
MONKE. Two amazing players, but Junebug the tops
leader of the bunch, YOU KNOW HIM WELL
he's finally back!!
DK!
Donkey Kong!
DK!
Donkey Kong is here!
Junebug got this win for all the commentators out there but its also sad watching one of your favorite falcons getting their shit kicked in by a 30
Tier lists continue to expand
Salt got upset by a cracked dk. She's officially a top player now
GGS will love to see more from these two >:3
1:25 ... just to throw it out there for future commentary, dk up b has a hit box above and behind his head and low in front of his feet. it's just that people are used to not wanting to be in front of shields in lag, but dk can punish hitting the back of his shield uniquely well.
Donkey Kong won a major.. what's next? Return of PC Chris, Ken, Armada, PPMD and Mew2king!? Amaaazing work from Junebug!!
Does this count as a major
@@xtreamdream439Not even close
Junebug is so dope for this
dk won a melee regional in 2024, we are in the BEST timeline

I went back and watched a second time, this was an exciting set!
I think something that melee commentary need to implement with match ups you're not experienced in is to default more to play by play. It minimizes misinformation and keeps it honest. More play by play for mid/low tiers please. No hate just productive criticism 🎉🎉🎉
As a Pikachu/Luigi main in Texas, can confirm theres a lot of mid-tier heroes here.
that double knee was insane
Imo i like switching seats after the braket reset, adds some flair
MELEE IS SO FREAKING SICK!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH THANK YOU JUNEBUG FOR THIS

I hear it too, but nipple doesn't have a different sfx unless modded in, and looking at the stomp it doesn't seem to be a nipple spike. So it's a mystery indeed why it played that sound
Had the same question since I heard it and thought it wouldn't be meteor cancellable. DK built different ig lol.
It was nowhere hear the chest though, Falcon’s foot beamed the top of DK’s face clean, so there’s no chance it would’ve been that hitbox
It was not a nipple, june would not have been able to up b and would've instantly died
Could a DK take the final stock in any other way? It's poetic.
GRSmash if you're out there, watch 21:28 until the end of the game
History was made today
what a set
