Crazy how many levels there are to the game. I remember a few years ago watching a set scar was commentating and he kept pointing out extremely minute falcon stuff that I didn't even register as happening. Of course he's not even a top player anymore and yet he still sees the game at a totally different level from most of us

dude it was insane. I'm just a spectator these days, but like, you watch enough and you get a vibe for like "ok they probably have enough time to do this/not do that." I was fucking floored at how fast that shit was, no part of me saw it as a possible outcome

There was a KZread short recently about Dragon Ball Super manga going on hiatus and it started by explaining that DBZ ended on the Buu arc and DBS was a continuation of the DB series. What a joke, if I clicked on the video I already know the content, don’t waste my time to appease the KZread algo. Also Spawn Wave. He had some video on a news development for Pokémon and he took THREE MINUTES TO EXPLAIN WHAT POKÉMON IS.

That final play was (literally) perfect by Wizzrobe but let’s not forget that in Set 1 on Game 4, he was down 2 games to 1 AND down 3 stocks to 1. Wizzrobe took victory from the jaws of defeat both times. Shout out to him and Juan for giving us an AMAZING Grand Finals!

fr. they did this 2 minutes worth of analysis in 0.5 seconds, possibly not getting to the part where he could technically win right there, and then it just happens in front of them. They're nuts. And wiz is ... nuts-er.
the precision, the timing, the fact that it was to win the whole tournament after a 30 minute grueling grands where Wizzy was one tech chase rest away from losing. it's all so beautifully 20GX

One of my favorite things is somebody doing something that seems kinda neat and impressive to a layman, but experts start reacting like they saw Jesus. The level of knowledge it takes to truly understand how perfect that play was in a heartbeat... love it.
There's a reason Wizzy is far and away my favorite player to watch among a sea of very entertaining players.

The magical wonders of no (((patch notes))).
Even the knee is crazy to look at frame by frame. As far as i can tell it also looks like he got knee out on frame 1, and puff is trying to jump out as the knee connects. Anyone know how much wiggle room there is here? Can puff jump out if he's a couple frames later on the knee?

idk if she would've gotten away, but you're right, she's hit on the third frame of her double jump, so maybe? But it does look like the knee is aimed a little high to catch that. Also the teeter cancel looks accidental with the shield coming out, but honestly I wouldn't doubt the rod god doing that on purpose to stop hbox from getting a reversal had the knee whiffed. There may be better players, but nobody is as cracked at this video game than wizzy
I remember watching that in real time and thinking wow that looked tight. Can definitely confirm that now
Almost 25 years later and people still love this game! I hope it never dies!
So glad wizzy is still around and winning tournaments, such a legend
Wizzy is such a surgeon with his reaction time, awareness, and of course his crisp execution.

Ah, the classic Captain Falcon grab maneuver. It's truly heartwarming to see such an intricate appreciation for the nuances of a game that, at its core, appeals to a wide demographic of enthusiasts, spanning from the casual weekend player to the dedicated professional. Your fondness for Captain Falcon's ability to grab opponents from behind is truly a testament to the layered complexity that makes Smash such a beloved staple in the fighting game community. One can only marvel at how a single move, like Captain Falcon's grab, can evoke such an emotional response. It's almost poetic, really. You see, this move transcends the mere mechanics of a game; it encapsulates the sheer artistry and tactical genius that the developers have woven into the fabric of this digital masterpiece. It's almost as if every grab, every pixelated punch, is a reflection of the human condition - the struggle, the triumph, the unyielding spirit of competition. Let's delve deeper into the sociopolitical implications of Captain Falcon's grab. In a world fraught with discord and division, this simple act of grabbing an opponent from behind speaks volumes about the nature of human interaction. It symbolizes the unexpected twists and turns of life, the unseen forces that shape our destiny. Captain Falcon, in his pixelated glory, becomes a metaphor for the unseen challenges we face, the unseen hands that guide us, sometimes gently, sometimes with the force of a high-speed Falcon Punch. Isn't it fascinating how a mere video game can serve as a microcosm of society? The intricacies of Captain Falcon's grab reflect the nuances of human relationships. Just as Captain Falcon reaches out and seizes his opponent, we too reach out in our daily lives, seeking connection, understanding, and sometimes, dominance. It's a dance as old as time itself, played out on a digital stage for all to see. Your appreciation for this move also underscores a deeper, more philosophical question: What is it about the act of grabbing that resonates so deeply within us? Perhaps it's the primal instinct, the ancient, hardwired need to assert control, to dominate. Or maybe it's a subtler, more refined appreciation for the art of surprise, the element of unpredictability that keeps us on our toes, both in the game and in life. Furthermore, let's not overlook the ideological underpinnings of your statement. In today's world, where the lines between reality and virtual reality blur more and more each day, expressing admiration for a character's ability to grab someone from behind can be seen as a bold, almost revolutionary statement. It's as if you're challenging the very fabric of our understanding of personal space and consent, pushing the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in both the digital and physical realms. But let’s take a step back and consider the broader implications of this gameplay mechanic. Captain Falcon’s grab is more than just a move; it’s a statement. It challenges the status quo, defies conventional wisdom, and invites us to question our assumptions about fairness, strategy, and the nature of competition. It's a move that, in its simplicity, embodies the complexity of the human spirit - the relentless drive to succeed, to overcome, to triumph against all odds. One might even argue that Captain Falcon’s grab is a form of social commentary. In a game that is, ostensibly, about fighting and competition, this move introduces a layer of strategy that goes beyond mere button-mashing. It requires foresight, precision, and a keen understanding of your opponent's tactics. In this sense, it mirrors the complexities of real-world interactions, where success often depends on our ability to anticipate and outmaneuver those around us. And let’s not forget the aesthetic appeal of Captain Falcon’s grab. There is a certain elegance to the way he moves, a fluidity that speaks to the high level of craftsmanship involved in creating this character. It's a reminder that, even in a medium as seemingly frivolous as video games, there is room for artistry and beauty. Captain Falcon’s grab is not just a move; it’s a dance, a ballet of pixels and polygons that captivates the mind and stirs the soul. In the grand tapestry of gaming history, Captain Falcon's grab stands out as a singular moment of brilliance. It's a move that, in its simplicity, captures the essence of what makes video games so compelling: the thrill of competition, the joy of mastery, and the endless quest for perfection. Your appreciation for this move is a testament to your deep understanding of these underlying principles. So, while some might dismiss Captain Falcon’s grab as just another move in a game filled with countless others, you and I know better. We understand that it is a symbol, a microcosm of the human experience, a reflection of our deepest desires and fears. It’s a move that transcends the boundaries of the game and speaks to something greater, something profound and timeless. In conclusion, your favorite move is more than just a moment of gameplay. It’s a philosophical statement, a work of art, and a testament to the enduring appeal of one of the greatest games ever made. It’s a reminder that, in the world of Smash, as in life, the simplest actions can have the most profound implications. So, here’s to Captain Falcon and his iconic grab - may it continue to inspire and captivate players for generations to come.
When melee came out I knew it was special. I put 1000 hours into playing it solo and with my friends. When I went to college there were tournaments twice a year. I knew it was a special game but I didn't know how deep it actually went. To create a fighting game with this level of depth and nuance is simply incredible.
I will never play at even half this level, but I love seeing these breakdowns and learning just how deep thia game goes. I work with a lot of designers and video producers and would honestly hire you off this channel alone.
Excellent breakdown as always
A play so incredibly hype it caused Plup to briefly transform into Shaggy
just found this channel and I think I am a fan of this slow detailed explanation of why stuff is important and cool in melee
I've played smash for quite some time now and my small brain hardly understands a word you say, but i love watching it lol
This editing is next level.
INSANE editing. and just how crisp the graphics are. I love this era of gaming/editing we're in
I saw this live and instantly knew you would be making a video about it. One of the most incredible things i've seen in this game
Incredible quality stuff from you as usual, dude. Big thanks!
your channel is genuinely the best melee youtube has to offer and its not close
If he was off by a few pixels, people would likely think it was just a misinput. It's honestly insane the level of precision and character knowledge it took to make that punish happen.
Hax$ made Falcon a high level character. Wizzrobe Perfected him!

"Smash isn't a real fighting game, it takes 0 skill." Smash:
I love how this match comes down to individual frames and it’s assumed that players would obviously make the most use of all those frames.
I don't even know if it was intentional, but it was literally perfect.
Love how simple and elegant your videos are, geeat content creators like you keep this beautiful game alive. Thank you!
Damn falcon got grips on his cheeks thats crazy. For real tho fantastic succinct visuals and explanations as usual
I feel like this video is how mewtwoking processed the game during the height of his melee career.
I love the amount of knowledge people have about Melee.
I look forward to all of your vids and I’ve never even played melee. Just incredibly engaging and well made videos man
i saw someone saying that they were expecting to see this play, lo and behold, here we are
he needed that
Melee is one big chess game.
yo what's the filter at 2:30 ?
saw this live and I am so, so glad to have a breakdown of it. What an insane play.
Wizzy has a lot of final moments this could have been, grand finals of Smash and Splash 5 was insane.
I’m surprised that the thumbnail isn’t for a 50 minute documentary detail every single frame of the set and deep dive on some obscure German philosophy
even as someone whos does not play melee i can understand how stupid precise this is not to mention the pressure of the moment.
Watching that was insane, Wizzy really out here in 20GX.
thank you so much for explaining this
lol the TV i'm dead
it's a good day when melee moments uploads
bro i feel like im having a stroke listening to you call moves during the match
That was hype as fuck, and whilst I was rooting for Hbox (I love C.Falcon though and ALL C.Falcon players as well!) that was just clutch and cool as HECK! I'm just so glad that the commentators also actually instantly realized how fucking INSANE that grab and moment ACTUALLY was.
Wizzi is a legend!

This was really well explained.

I'm surprised I haven't seen your stuff before, it's great! The quality and style are so fantastic. This channel is up there with Asumsaus for me.
I am amazed Wizzrobe thought about all of this in the heat of the moment.
I'M JUST SAYING... Wizzy is a madman, i love his playstyle and he is one of the GOATs of melee.
He’s so amazing, I love how he changed what falcon could do in majors.. especially against such an annoyingly tough player like HBox
