PPMD was a god, since he only ever lost to the other gods, and was one of the few players among the 4 other gods to win majors and consistently be top 8. Unfortunately his health sidelined him for so long. That's what crippled his full potential

PPMD showed up less sure, but the « gods » no matter how corny it is, I do agree on that, were considered as such because they could only beat themselves especially in the glory days when the 5 of them could compete at the same time. PPMD, as most of you know has been sick for a while now, he just couldn’t go on, he still streams though ! Much love to him

Coney definitely ignores the fact that winning any major was a big deal back in the day. From 2008 all the way until 2014 no one outside of those 5 won any major tournaments, and even then the majors in 2014 that Leffen won only had Armada attending out of the 5 gods. Plus PPMD was fairly consistently better than M2K and Hbox in 2013 and 2014 which is when the whole 5 gods thing was becoming popular.

I think a lot of smash players have to realise they are romanticising their own game a lot. I'm the grand scheme of things it may not even be the best FGC game in Spector value, id argue the thing holding smash back is how we view, we have to enable people to understand smash without having to feel so alien. I think that's why others are succeeding. No I don't hate Melee, just putting that out their I'm not just sine Ultimate kid. You may not be thinking that but I'm tryna cover my bases

The origin of the god title comes from Scar comparing the “5 Gods” of melee and their dominance, to the Gods of Street Fighter. I’m not too invested in the FGC history but when arcades were the main way to play SF, 5 players ruled Japan for years (spanning to SF4 i think?) The name gained traction because Toph and Scar always commentated around that time, and Scar was the main story builder

The skill of edge hogs comes from when the opponent has other ways to return to stage that arent the ledge. Most characters in melee dont just go below stage then up b, as an example the space animals have a billion ways to recover Side b to ledge, shorten to ledge, side b onto stage, firefox straight, firefox low to ledge, high firefox > ledge, high firefox > stage, shine stalls etc. Correctly deducing which of these options your opponent will use and risking being reversal'd by the other options is a level of balls that isn't seen in ultimate with how safe 2 frames and ledge trumps are People only look at the times when the person recovering can only go to ledge to say that edge hogging is boring

mew2king was the best in melee and brawl at the same time for a while, mostly why he's considered a god. also because he was like the first to actually analyze frame data n stuff for melee

@@mangaprofilepicture5820 Luigi's Cyclone in Melee has a charging system. The general gist is that using the move on the ground grants you the charge and using it in the air expends the charge.

2:57 was real. Melee players did treat us like lesser people, if like people.

I personally like edgehogging but I get why it was Removed and don't mind. You forget that 90% if not more that plays Smash are casuals and could not care for competitive balance and what competitive deems "fun." Casuals want to be able to get back on stage and fight more so devs buffed a lot of recoveries and removed edgehogging. Sm4sh was the worst with magnet hands but at least that was toned down into Ult.

@jmurray1110

Жыл бұрын

I thought brawl was magnet hands Maybe since it had the switch it still carries the stereotype

Ppmd was one of the gods because during that stretch of time, there were 5 players who were consistently either winning or competing to win and ppmd was one of the five. He was winning or considered a top player for a few years before leffen really broke through. He actually may have been falling out with his health stuff when leffen really starting playing well.

I could be wrong, but if I'm not mistaken, PPMD reached "godhood" insanely fast. I ran the first Smash tourney he (and his brother, I think?) ever attended, or so he told me, at some dinky little video game store in NC. His first tourney, and he was taking out guys from our state's Power Rankings. I don't remember how high he placed, but he was super impressive from the offset.

I thought it was common knowledge that Hbox was the last of the 5 gods to gain god status, I'm surprised Coney didn't know that

As a Luigi main, this set was extremely satisfying to watch

Yo that bait at 11:13 had me rolling for a minute Hilarious XD

14:04 My (main) issue with ledge-hogging is the person grabbing ledge is supposed to be in disadvantage. Melee's edgehogging is SO beneficial that ledge is the safest place to be, provided you grab ledge again before your invincibility expires. See Westballz vs M2K, where M2K grabbed ledge over and over while throwing out Marth fair in-between ledge grabs. Westballz gave up because he couldn't contest M2K's "disadvantage" state.

disagree, ledges are generally disadvantageous in terms of stage control but only when you want to return to the stage. the ledge itself is safe, but its about the interaction afterwards that puts the person on the ledge at risk. this obviously gets skirted around if you just never leave the ledge.

Ledge hogging isn't why m2k camped, that's because they always renew invincibility. If this wasn't the case, westballz could've daird him whenever. Whilst the invincibility effect was changed alongside ledge hogging, meaning in smash we have only seen them together, they aren't tied to each other and ledgehogging doesn't need invincibility refresh.

Luigi is the altrive of smash bros

13:38 (I play melee and ultimate) the reason I like the new system better is melee punishes way too hard for going deep off stage and technically ultimate does not (even though its best to just ledgetrap). Melee's ledge is just waaay too safe so a lot of edge guards feel kind of samey. In ultimate if you choose to edge guard instead of ledgetrap you have tons of options and even if they get back you can trump back air and still do stuff. You also don't just die if you have a bad recovery and your opponent grabs the ledge.

Imagine how sad it would feel losing to a green dork doing his best mime impression

who was and wasn't a god is the people who could win majors between 09 and 18. in that time frame only the gods and Leffen won tournaments, the reason why he was the god slayer was he was the first ( and technically the only) won who had beaten all five but hadn't won a tournament. the reason why we don't think of Plup that way is because he was a little too late to play in the era with PPMD. most people would agree the five gods era definitely ended in 2018 when armada retired. the reason PP was so certainly a god was he had beat all of the other four consistently before the term was even coined, so he didn't have to be the slayer. Also i think he was ranked 1st in the summer 2014 rank, and only the gods ( and now Zain) have ever been ranked no.1 in the world.

"Cole and Dylan Sprouse" :D "From Big Daddy" D:

Should also try to check out AsumSaus at some point. I know his vid on the flaws with Melee is controversial to some of the pro players, but many of his other vids also do a good job highlighting the jank you see in many tournaments

This video of Walt's is very well made, fascinating and funny. It's what got me into Melee content on KZread

PPMD is a god. Because it’s not how many tournaments you win. It’s the way you win and the impact you make, and boy did PPMD make a huge impact on the Melee scene, especially the way he revolutionized the way people play falco

9:04 "But he's been like this since Melee." My guy, Luigi's been the weird one since Super Mario Bros. 2. That's where he gained a higher jump and lost traction. Games that keep those two features simply add on to what was there and make him weirder. And yes mean Lost Levels (though it applies to Super Mario Bros. USA / Doki Doki Panic as well). And yes I'm aware this video is two years old.

I’m from the old days and much prefer ledge trumping. Edge hogging mainly hurt the worse characters, for example Zelda, Ganondorf, and so on. Everyone being *able* to grab ledge just means that there’s a lot more mind games allowed at ledge AND it means that players can go deeper off stage for active attempts to keep people from coming back. We can’t have the hype Fatality chasing off stage moments with ledge hogging, it’s extremely risky to go off stage with ledge hogging in place.

RE: your comments about the five gods and why some were considered gods Armada and Mang0, self explanatory. Hungrybox could generally beat any of the five gods but could never beat all in attendance until 2014 when he started shooting for Armada's number one spot. Mew2King was the first god and was the best player in the world until Mang0, and even then was the last god to lose to Leffen. PPMD was usually considered the third or second best god throughout the five gods era, at least until the end and his eventual retirement. What defined godhood was at any point not losing very often. Even the worst god (most normally M2K or Hbox) was leagues better than the next best player. Leffen was not that good compared to the gods, he was just better by a long stretch than any other non-god. During the era before he beat every god he was giving people runs for their money, but could not beat M2K, and could not win anything with more than 3 gods in attendance to my knowledge.
