aMSa 3-0 Zain at bobc5. aMSa 4 stocking Moky at Goml. The aMSa clips you chose make it seem like you either just don’t pay attention to aMSa, or don’t like him. Sincerely, the biggest and most annoying aMSa fanboy ever. Great video, I kid.
This has been my first year being into smash and its been such a great time as a newcomer! Absolutely love seeing Zain Cody and Amsa, I was in the crowd of smashcon !!
I'm kinda jelly. There's a lot of hype moments throught melee history. Sometimes I forget about them and watch a compilation and reminded of the hype. Have fun
Wow, there were a TON of awesome moments this year. Incredible breakout fulfilled by Jmook. InSANE play from Mango. fugged up losers run from Cody. New counter picks, Regional Pride, and a TIGHT race for #1. Overall, melee always got it
Whats crazy to me is hbox not winning a single major. Anyways I can't wait to see the first to 10 Zain vs Cody set this weekend. I truly dont know who wins this. I want it to be zain but I think its going to be cody and cody has worked his ass off to get where he is so its gonna be dope either way.
That’s what I’m sayin! He was so close at smash con. I would have loved to see the reset. Both players deserve it. I think it’ll be close but I got Cody winning it since he won the last few. Gonna be a fun one!
@@JeramiJoseph For sure. Super excited to see this set. Unfortunately I will be at work and will be bust the games where hype things happen and not when its just a normal game, but thats just how it is.
It's funny, I see such a pessimistic mantra about how Melee is reaching the end of its life and the game will die soon- but frankly I don't see it. We had a Sheik and a Yoshi win a super major, and for the first time we had 2 players neck in neck for best, and in the exact same breath, the deciding factor had a solo fox as number 1 best player and dethroned Zain who has been relatively strong for the last few years. This game will live another 50 years and another 50 years more
I’m with ya!!people are more die hard for melee than ever. With the Nintendo stuff a lot of people got nervous about the future looks like etc. I was in that boat a bit. But knowing that we have continued with nothing happening we will be fine. Idk if we will be a top tier esport like everyone was hoping, but we will still live 😄
@@JeramiJoseph honestly the Nintendo restrictions likely weren't even that much of a "thunderbolt from Zeus" Nintendo was probably just protecting their IP which they have an absolute right to do. Smash Bros is kind of infamous for having a rather toxic community. With the treatment of top players, and the general toxicity about some of the games characters, mechanics, etc. Nintendo was more than anything, attempting to disassociate the smash bros community with itself by banning the use of logos, and setting up tournament rules that would fit Nintendo's ideals. It's unlikely that Nintendo will strike down a tournament. They are aware of the backlash from 2012(?) And it's unlikely they are willing to take it again since the community has grown exponentially since then. I really don't see the scene dying for some time-
@@JeramiJoseph Cody 100% but I'm also very biased LOL. I think Cody is better at adapting to his opponent than Zain so giving him up to 19 games to adapt gives him a big advantage
@@JeramiJoseph not a leffhead but him winning evo and also 1 smash “major” in both ‘22 and ‘23 is a great storyline. Air-quotes on “major” because I’m not tryna get into a smash boards argument on semantics
Just for the record, both aMSa and Zain had played characters besides Yoshi and Marth in tournament before, neither of the clips in this video were their first time
Ahh that’s my b. I guess it may have been better to explain it as within their professional career. Is that a better way to phrase it? I checked with a few people and we came to the conclusion we couldn’t find other times they went anyone but their main
@@JeramiJoseph I think it is true if you add the "at a major" qualifier. aMSa had played Falco in Japanese events before this year and Zain had played both Fox and ICs before, not to mention Roy (and yes he has played Roy while being entered in bracket as Zain, not only as Don'tTestMe). Ultimately, these instances are less important but yeah
@@JeramiJoseph Hell yeah. Bonus funny fact, aMSa's SSBMRank 2015 player card actually has Falco listed on it in addition to Yoshi haha, they were very liberal with adding secondaries that year
so messed up to post this before Blur vs Slime.. fr tho the amount of zain and cody in this video speaks to their dominance this year, 2024 is going to be insane
Loved the vid! Clicked on it thinking it would be encompassing of all titles though😢Not trying to take away from how great this was, but I think “Melee” in the title would be nice
To be fair, Don’t Test Us worked for 1 game, but failed to close out. There’s clear potential if the best player in the world chooses either FD only for em or puts a lil more time into it
@@exeterd9 COVID vaccines did not prevent transmission and TOs are still under the idea that they do. There's no medical purpose to an event requiring them.
Most TOs have had vaccine mandates which proved to not block transmission in May of 2021. All the nonsense bled into your beloved hobby after destroying your job and set your financial goals on hold. I see why people hate it.
What was YOUR favorite moment of 2023?

Can’t wait for it! Who you got winning? 👀

lol yeah he did

That was a pretty insane moment 😂
Even with all the mayhem, this was honestly a great year for smash
It really was! Solo sheik first major win! Solo fox main #1 in the world, huge fight for number 1. Had some bangers that’s for sure. Cheers to 2024 😄
so messed up to post this before Blur vs Slime..

Go check pt 2 baby 😄
@@JeramiJoseph what a treat this is
@@pandaforce6162 got ya dawg 😍
Idc if it was offline it’s a CRIME to not have Salts Sacred Combo on here
I don’t know which combo that is 🤯
Despite the drama (just like 2022 before) 2023 was a sick year for Melee yet again ❤
You forgot Cody Leffen game 5 last stock at LACS
Not in part 2 😉
Stay tuned !
this is my first year and it’s been great, went to big house and met everyone, recently i played with ppmd
That’s so hype! Welcome to such a sick game. Sounds like a dope ass first year
Loved the vid!
Clicked on it thinking it would be encompassing of all titles though😢Not trying to take away from how great this was, but I think “Melee” in the title would be nice
Yeah for sure! Appreciate it 😄
6:09 a gross plate of week old *spaghetti*
This aint Smash this is Melee
Awesome vid. Would have included Axe’s quadruple thunder if it was up to me
ty! shoot I actually dont know this clip. what was it??
Axe v Kodorin at Shine, game 2. can be found at 4 : 55 on the vod @@JeramiJoseph
@@thecongadrums oh dang I missed this moment! Thanks for pointing it out 😄
I just realized it's "Best of " season. This is my first one so thank you for starting the hype :)
Course homie! Glad you dig it 😄
should change the title to Smash Bros Melee
Amazing video 🙌 cheers to an amazing 2023 for the greatest game ever made. Hope we see the Cody vs Zain rivalry blossom further
Appreciate it dawg! To another good year of melee 😍 2024 looking to be sick
Moe beating Frenzy 3-0
Oh dang, I didn’t even know that happened!
@@JeramiJoseph yep. At Fete. Also took Aklo to game 5.
dang dude is insane :O@@KeyboardKlutz_0
where is leffen cody game 5 from lacs
It’s already in my edit for the next one 👍🏻 stay tuned!
Thanks for the content Jeremi.
No prob watt! Got another easy one coming your way soon 👍🏻
Hey im in this haha shoutouts to Jackzilla and his big house side stream
Yooo glad you made it in 😄
Great video!
Thank you so much!
new house heater??
What? 😂
Part 2 when
40 minutes 😄
To be fair, Don’t Test Us worked for 1 game, but failed to close out. There’s clear potential if the best player in the world chooses either FD only for em or puts a lil more time into it
I’m excited to see the IC’s come back in 2024 😍
Yeahhh, honestly surprised Zain kept the icies for stadium. Definitely should have gone back to marth after the FD counterpick
Only 2 yoshi highlights?? And just a hit vs hbox lol
Go check part 2! He’s in there 😄
Heres to another year of great melee, fuck nintendo and fuck the politics
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Here’s to 2024 ❤️
If vaccines become required to attend events in 2024, then politics are still present.
@@Sonick92 if vaccines are your main talking point for how something is bad,, then you are lucky, sheltered and privileged.
@@exeterd9 COVID vaccines did not prevent transmission and TOs are still under the idea that they do. There's no medical purpose to an event requiring them.
Why are there so many people tight about masks? Just enjoy the fucking melee and let TOs do their job and make decisions about *their* events.
Dawg, I have NO IDEA 😂
Miss you, hope to see you at Genesis 🔥
Most TOs have had vaccine mandates which proved to not block transmission in May of 2021. All the nonsense bled into your beloved hobby after destroying your job and set your financial goals on hold.
I see why people hate it.
For real! At this point it's personal choice, so if someone wants to wear one, let them! It's not a big deal!
The craziest moment is still wearing masks in 2023.
Great video, keep it up! 🙏🔥
Appreciate it dawg 😍
