Plup may legitimately be the best Melee player in the world
Вставка

- From Canada, to the UK, to practically everywhere in between, the Summer of Smash had delivered on a myriad of rip-roaring events from all over the world. Thankfully, no arms were broken in this year's iteration, but Riptide 2023 still brought to the table a wide array of stalwart North American talent like lloD, KoDoRiN, Aklo, aMSa and moky. It also boasted the inclusion of some of Melee’s most elusive marquee names in Wizzrobe and Plup. And with Zain opting to drop from the event, the time has finally come for a player other than Zain, Cody Schwab, Jmook or Leffen to take to the throne in 2023. I’m turndownforwalt, and here are the top five performances from Riptide 2023 in this week's JV5.

Now we need a Wizzy win
only a matter of time, I believe he's going to be competing again this weekend
Lets go Wizzy
I always thought plup was the sleeper best, dude is just another level when he activates ultra instinct
He’s like the new generation Isai. Number 1 when he tries…
@@omapgaming9258damn that’s actually really accurate
@@omapgaming9258hes been playing melee for like 15 years
Ghatzu is legendary. Spark used to kick everyone’s butt at the local, and he’s so cool that he’d tell us exactly why we were losing, but the local smashers hated him for it 😂
Plup? The Terraria streamer?
Yea
Ben beating zuppy 3-1 is such a sad loss against axe 😔 4:45 😂
Was looking for this
Legend say Axe was so clean, he shocked the official tourney bracket display, by taking it to FoD into a different set.
At 4:40 it's talking about Ben and Axe but the result shown is from a Ben nd Zuppy set
poor zuppy
Small editing error. In the Bbatts vs axe section, you display zuppy vs bbatts set score.
When he is tapped in, plup can compete and win against anyone. Leffen has that same ability; just depends when they are hot. Zain is the current number 1 because he consistently plays at or near the top level
also zain attends tournaments and those other two players don't
Just happy to see Plup and Wizzrobe still playing at the highest level. Would love to see them both in more top 8s.
I love the kingdom hearts sound effects for the transitions,,, that series is very closely connected to smash since sakurai worked very closesly with the team behind it
This community could seriously use more content with the insane production quality, comprehensive coverage, and lovely watchability of this series. Incredible.
very professional report as always
When Plup is playing like this, he's an absolutely treat to watch. That was an amazing run. Thank you for the excellent tournament summary walt!
Sick to be mentioned, thanks!
Such cool content ❤
Plups takin majors, melee is always fun to come back to.
I love plup so much. Always hate when he has to face wizzy though. Hard to root against mr. Robe
nah fr, Mr. Robe is the boy
Wizzy is still top 5 easily, he just can’t travel to compete and get ranked :’)
awesome recap. get well soon, zain.
I just wanna add that Justus is an awesome dude. He comes to the DFW P+ locals on occasion and I've never had a bad interaction. Just a stand-up guy all around
Bbatts looked so good! The punish game was so on point and confident. I hope we can see him play at that level again. Very fun Peach.
You had me at "Plup".
Was here before the noti ❤
Love the content as always Walt
That thumbnail is hysterical
my favorite tournaments are ones where Plup and Wizzrobe look a level above the competition and have a great grands set.
What song is playing from @4:00 to @6:00 in the background?
Plup is like Wizzrobe's older brother who you still can't beat even when you're one of the best in the world😭
many years ago, Mang0 once said "no one can beat prime Plup"
that still holds.
lol a title with the emperor of all plup club bait
I do hope he puts up a good result at TBH11. He has another month to polish up!
Ben repping wisconsin and Minnesota, gods work
I'm absolutely cackling at the thumbnail 😂 "Hello, Plup club?!'
Thumbail unfortunately doesn't work as well as it should after Zain posted a banger from Malta but I still respect the plub club game
the thumbnail is slaying me
The plub club is alwyas open and waiting for new members 🍻
Small mistake at 3:20 , Ben did place 5th but bbatts placed 7th
My B, slipped through when I was proof reading
The editing was a bit confusing at times. Around 5:25 you first talk about a Sheik, then about a run ending, but while showing a Peach losing against a Sheik. Idk most of the names yet so I couldn't quite follow there. Otherwise great video! Subscribed :)
thanks Walt
rivals mentioned ‼️
Whoopsies, editing mistake at 4:40. Time to purge the video
Ngl, that Plub guy is kinda TAS...
Llod beat Amsa in WHAT place!?!?!?!? Crazy how intense the competition is getting now
I do love me some plup
Cleaverman has seen your thumbnail.
He is now approaching your location.
I wonder what it would take for plup to be recognized as the best sheik of all time, he can't be far behind m2k at this point and you could comfortably argue for him to be #1 oat rn
would've put him at best sheik easy honestly but Jmook just showed up and changed the game on him, harder to call now
I have long been of the opinion that Plup has a good chance to beat literally anyone when he brings his A-game. I wish we saw it more often.
Zain looking like Evander Holyfield on that thumdnail lol
It was inzain last week
But how will this affect Plup’s legacy?
It was a Major, haters shut up.
Also, Flash cooked HARD!!!
I've been saying this all year. Plup is top five but he's probably top three ahead of Jmook and Leffen. If he attended more, he'd be having a better year than Zain did last year on consistency. Guy's so underrated
Both Leffen and Jmook have won events that were a lot more stacked than the two Plup has won. I would argue Plup is above Amsa right now, though. But low attendance is kind of iffy imo.
damn justus is one cool dude
The double Justin grand finals
This is random, but I've heard of Juniper before in the Melee scene and I can't think why. Are they the former or the new name of a Melee player or something??
who broke their arm???
It looks like a rivals player
Not broken but cake assault that years rivals of aether champion dislocated his shoulder mid pop off from winning the event.
Why does the title read as surprised? This is common knowledge
Not even putting franz in the thumbnail, wtf Walt
common w for the plub club
PLUP CLUB
are we just not going to talk about that thumbnail?
wait did that guy break his arm, what happened?
W thumbnail
newly "re-minted" top 10 korodin. he's been ranked top 10 before
Summer 2022 was the first time he was officially ranked within top 10
@@turndownforwalt yes so we agree he was minted in 2022 and re-minted in 2023?
awesome thumbnail lmfao

Plub #1
Hey Walt at 1:08 you put up a Justus tweet he posted about a Charity Tournament I ran for my Friend who Overdoses on Fentanyl and used it as an example of Justus's charity work. Justus does do alot of good charirty work but he didnt even attend the event the tweet is referring too and as someone who put alot of work into it right after my friend died Im a little upset that Justus is getting the credit for hosting my charity event.
almost forgot LETS GO JUSTUS WOOOOO STILL HYPE ABOUT HIS RUN AT RIPTIDE LETS GO TEXAS WOOOO
I apologize for that, I wasn’t aware of the context. Thanks for hosting this event for a good cause though, I hope it went well
plupYUMYUM
justus is legit
flat earth astronaut meme: *always has been*
I made $5 off a bet calling PLUP Wizzy finals on Thursday before we knew Zain dropped lmao
what on earth was that thumbnail dog 😭
That Llod loser’s run was actually insane
Allegedly, he only got that far by bamboozling Cody with the mirror-match. How dare he take advantage of our poor colorblind spacey like that. /s
“Plup may legitimately be the best melee player in the world.” -Walt
“Plup is the best player I know.” -Amsa
“Plup’s not the number one player, but it feels like he’s the best player.” -Toph
“When Plup is playing well he’s the best player in the world.” -M2k
1. M2K 2. Plup
They are the best Sheiks ever.
How cool would it be to see a major with two Sheiks in the GF.
Why tf they got pronames next to their name 😂
Hafu :)
Tbh Plup two majors wins this year were Wizzy doing all the work and Plup beating him in Sheik Falcon. Impressive for sure but yea you get it
CEO wasn’t a major
@@SRM13 Well sorry?
This video is now property of the plup club
So sad Wizzy did not win. I like Plup, but i would love to see him fighting the tip top of the Melee Elite. ´cause atm he just roasted wizzy 4 times in a row, and neither his win at Riptide nor CEO feel impressive considering in 2023 he only defeated aMSa and Hbox in the top 10 (+wizzy who is a sleepy giant, we all know that). Even the Falcon savior has beaten half of the top 10 with only 2 tournaments…
Llod getting 3rd is an extremely strong showing. Good shit, he might be on the verge of showing the world a new Peach threatening the top spot
plup and wizzy top 2 in the world lol
Tbis thumbnail makes no sense but if you change it ill break ya kneecaps its beautiful
I missed the part where Plup was better than Zain
Zain just has a Sheik problem
First
God it feels so good to watch Chango lose
I BEEN SAYING THAT
PLUP IS THE GOAT. All theses mangos and hboxes and zaines got nothing on dickmaster420
He only won because the top fellas weren't there....
Title is clickbaity and boring but the videos gud
This video contains no discussion of who the best player in the world is.
Sad to unsub from such a pillar, but I can't take this bait in my feed. :|
you a lame
That's a joke
I like Plup but settle down
Bro said bbats lost to Ben 3 to 2 but it was a 3-1 lmao He even shows the clip that shows it was 3-1 Bruh
No.
no hes not
The title of this video doesn't make any sense.
Plup is very good, and definitely underrated by the 2023 summer rankings (on purpose--they penalize low attendance).
But #1 in the world? Based on this tournament?
Nah. Guess who wasn't in attendance this tournament? #1 on the summer rankings (Zain). #2 on the summer rankings (Cody). #3 on the summer rankings (Jmook). #4 on the summer rankings (Leffen). #6 on the summer rankings (Mango). #8 on the summer rankings (Hungrybox). None of them were in attendance.
Of the players in attendance, the one who probably could have beaten Plup (other than Wizzrobe) was Moky. (Moky 3-0'd Plup at Genesis). But Moky and Plup did not meet in the bracket this time.
Plup IS good for sure, but I don't think this tournament is a sign of him being #1.
