I agree, but in the interviewer's defense Mew2King didn't seem to give him much to work with at the beginning of the interview and then the chat distracted him.
***** like no fucking shit he's hard on himself. literally, every good player that takes themselves seriously (like all of them) do this because they have this thing called an *expectation*. it's pointless to deify m2k by doing something that literally every top player in whatever thing they specialize in do. also you're using the b8 meme wrong; try again
C Wizzy There is another way to interpret what Astral Turtle said, which is that m2k is harder on himself than anyone else is on themselves. This makes it definitely a defining trait of m2k. He is insanely hard on himself.
Gonna sound weird, but Westballz has some really nice sh dairs... doesn't always fastfall them, because he want the late hitbox to stay out and catch Sheik to continue the shield pressure.
So can someone help me out? I'm looking for a few matches from LTC2, specifically M2k vs. Neon, Awestin vs. M2K, and Sethalon's matches. They all used to be in my favorites but they've disappeared for some reason. Did they get switched to private videos or something? And yes I've checked VGBootcamp's channel >_>
M2ks movement and shield game as marth vs falco is so freaking good. It's so easy for marth to get shut down by falco's laser, aerial, and shine pressure but he makes it work. Those powershields are too good. He does it against westballz's falco too, and he arguably has one of the best pressure games. GJ on both players parts.
Control. Before i used to completely avoid tilts because i couldnt control my fingers. (I played brawl back then thats why i sucked) then i tried pm and i learned utilts on falco were vital to pillaring soooo, just had to try and control. All in all, if you think you will benefit more from tilts, and is determined to actually master them, you can easily get it.
SpiritBurner21 Shine is just better in most situations. Dtilt is good as a poor man's shine if something fucks up in the approach and Falco's not in shine range. Shine is just strictly better in every way besides range and kill potential, but it can easily be combo non-floaties into kill potential (bair, dair at edge, and at dair, upair if at dtilt kill percentage). It gets used here and there because of the range, and gets used a lot more against floaties as it kills at a more reasonable percent and shine can't combo at middling percents and up.
Was giggling like a school girl during the interview, and then I realized. It was because M2K sounds alot like Michael Jackson. The crush lives. No Homo(?)
Dude at the interview, he says they were both playing terribly, but I think westballz was playing pretty great. pretty aggressively. he just got gimped, which sucks and isn't an excuse, but straight up he only dropped a few things and those tiny mistakes were all it took. you can't make mistakes against m2k
BRIE lol well no it's just like, you know, ken was on survivor and is trying to be an architect or something, axe works at walgreens, mango has a son... m2k just kind of lives in the venues for all we know
+cruintention yea. I feel like other people are too afraid of offending or upsetting M2K, or are at least too formal, while Scar just tries to get his thoughts in to words. I believe he interviewed him at P@X and he was like "Be more specific" like 100 times and that's what it took for him to open up
first match. m2k two stocks, westballz one. m2k just camps on the edge and wait for westballz to come and make a mistake. and it happens exactly like that. thats why i sometimes don't like m2k. every player can do such a shit with sheik..
That's not "sheik," that's "M2K." And there's nothing unfair about it. M2K is impeccable on the ledge and he knows it, so he uses that strength he has. If people were better on the ledge (or as good as M2K is), they could contest that behavior.
I can almost guarantee that you wouldn't be a able to do half the crap M2K does with sheik. Your clearly just butt hurt over west ballz losing, and you have not made a single reasonable argument for him being better, or why he should have won. You can probably barely do this shit against computers or your friends, which is entirely different from managing to pull it off on a very skilled player such as west ballz. If you tried camping the ledge against west ballz, he'd probably pillar your ass and destroy you. But M2K can do it, because he's absolutely amazing with sheik. As it has already been stated, M2K is incredible on the ledge. So why wouldn't he camp it? It would make no sense. That'd be like telling west ballz that he shouldn't use his tech skill.
D1 I love you but you have to actually ask questions if you want good answers. A guy comes out of Grand Finals going "We both just played awful" and you have no follow up questions?
flyingpotato3 barf what? PM rocked that tournament. I forgot melee was there when people were just as excited for PM. All the great high gameplay especially the Grand Finals.
I'm getting sick of watching M2K win all the time.. It seems like all his Winners Final matches involve him winning due to stage selection. I mean come on, if the commentators can call out exactly what he does before it happens, that's gotta be something he's been doing since forever. I'm fairly certain that if people stayed on the maps that they beat M2K on, he'd still lose on them the second time.
>"Low Tier City"
>Falco vs Sheik/Marth
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
ImTheDruggernaut That was the best comment I've ever seen on a smash video
+ImTheDruggernaut It's called Low Tier City because the city is low-tier
i mean its just the name of the tour guy
@@shady8045 you don't get the reference then
Best interview of 2014
hands down
I agree, but in the interviewer's defense Mew2King didn't seem to give him much to work with at the beginning of the interview and then the chat distracted him.
Garth Benson
just to make this clear, I didn't mean it as hate towards the interviewer
Me: =________________________=
Oh M2K, you're so blunt and hilarious.
You can really tell m2k is hardest on himself. He always wants to do his absolute best and that's admirable
***** W0W N0 WAY!!!!!1111111111111

Does anyone else think the Melee Falco chant is a little depressing?
It does sound like a diss, like they're on the opposite team, I always thought that.
Yep.
XD
FAAAAAALCOOOOO
LOL at 2:56 it looks like the dude in the back has his weiner out
Shawn Palmer wtf LMAO
Shawn Palmer LMFAO! WHAT?!!
Shawn Palmer I got an erection too after seeing that combo
+lambmaster27 what
+Shawn Palmer lol'ed too hard, he's just chillin w/ it out hahahahahah
LOL dat interview
I fna

It doesn't sound weird you make a good point
3:35
4 shines into a wall jump dair spike. wow.
"Is this....BombSoldier?!?" Lmao I died right there. That was some sick pillars.
Westballz's Falco is soooooo agressive
"Mew2King unfolded his legs, he just removed one of his limiters. "😂😂😂😂
Everyone listen to the squeak that...actually, I'm not sure if it's d1 or pbnj made at 9:41
lol m2k

VGBC removes all Project M videos from their channel due to legal issues.

...Welp, I'm off to weep in a corner. Those matches were my favorites ;-;
Josh L Yeah that majorly sucks. I hate whoever made that decision.
There was a post on r/smashbros recently about where they have been reuploaded or whatever but I don't remember the details. good luck finding them
How did westballz do that walk at 10:05??!!
what's the name of the song playing at the end during m2k's interview?
What's the awesome ness song at the end? Someone please tell me :D
holy god, that grab combo was insane 8:45
what was westballz recovery at 10:58? I dont understand how he did that
put it in slo-mo, he firebirded into the edge
thefishinizer
I did put it in slomo, in slomo you can see the frame start up for firebird but it looks like he teleports
11:11 Somewhat with the music; I was amused.
12:29 Also D1's Wario voice should be a text message sound.
1:38-1:40 a bunch of mistakes, but immaculate spacing on nair getting a phantom hit on the falco dair, almost didn't catch it.
1:24 how did m2k jump 3 times before landing?
Alan MrSir third jump is actually his up B
M2K seems like a nice dude.
how do you wake up shine?
M2ks movement and shield game as marth vs falco is so freaking good. It's so easy for marth to get shut down by falco's laser, aerial, and shine pressure but he makes it work. Those powershields are too good. He does it against westballz's falco too, and he arguably has one of the best pressure games. GJ on both players parts.
Anyone know the song during the interview?
"i might just pick up falco after this, its over for you" I CANT STOP LAUGHING
Are there no stage bans in grand final?
Theres no bans in best 3 of 5 sets
Way to go westballz. manages to make m2k's Marth afraid on FD not bad at all. most people who get the FD treatment get bodied
Is there a trick to doing tilts or is it just muscle memorization.
You just have to be soft/easy on the control stick.
Control. Before i used to completely avoid tilts because i couldnt control my fingers. (I played brawl back then thats why i sucked) then i tried pm and i learned utilts on falco were vital to pillaring soooo, just had to try and control. All in all, if you think you will benefit more from tilts, and is determined to actually master them, you can easily get it.
Song at end?
NO HOMO, but westballz is a beautiful man
sometimes i try to watch pb&j commentary vids and i just can't
Why don't falco players use his d-tilt? It kills fairly easily and comes out/recovers quickly.
Mang0 and PPMD both use dtilt for kills a decent amount.
I havent seen it that much. Guess I just gotta keep an eye out for it
SpiritBurner21 mattdotzeb uses it a lot as well. Glad to have helped. Kira, out.
SpiritBurner21 Shine is just better in most situations. Dtilt is good as a poor man's shine if something fucks up in the approach and Falco's not in shine range. Shine is just strictly better in every way besides range and kill potential, but it can easily be combo non-floaties into kill potential (bair, dair at edge, and at dair, upair if at dtilt kill percentage).

Bombsoldier's smash spirit lives on with westballz
whats with m2k's hairline
Did anyone else see that lazer fling off screen at 2:04?
m2honest
westballz DI was so insane dude you could definitly see it and it made the classic marth FD combos alot less satisfying
I LOVED THIS INTERVIEW LMAOO!!
I love M2K.
I really did not expect Westballz to recover at 9:32
9:26 was that a moonwalk?
+BROAdWAYexpressN Dash dance grab
Was giggling like a school girl during the interview, and then I realized. It was because M2K sounds alot like Michael Jackson. The crush lives.
No Homo(?)
Westballz is so entertaining to watch holy fuck
Bombs over baghdad
Reedballz.
It's weird how M2K never picked up Falco, it would work pretty well.
well youve seen his fox, probably scared to pick up spacies as mains
Westballz is actually really good. He beat M2K 2 times in a row in this set. Not bad.
But that interview at the end...LMAO!
Dude at the interview, he says they were both playing terribly, but I think westballz was playing pretty great. pretty aggressively. he just got gimped, which sucks and isn't an excuse, but straight up he only dropped a few things and those tiny mistakes were all it took. you can't make mistakes against m2k
It's just m2k interview strats, he says it every time he wins
at one point of time when mango interviewed him he said that he always says that they both played badly to make the other person feel better
I think Wes was playing really well tbh.
You get the feeling that m2k doesn't exist outside of smash
Why? Because he always wins?
BRIE lol well no it's just like, you know, ken was on survivor and is trying to be an architect or something, axe works at walgreens, mango has a son... m2k just kind of lives in the venues for all we know
Robo Gorbachev Yeah, but in opposite to other players he earns his money with smashing so he doesnt need more than twitch and his venues. :D
BRIE M2K doesn't earn shit. EMP and Triforce takes almost all of his winnings
Joseph Woods M2K earns a lot by being a top 3 player in Melee, Brawl and PM and placing well at tournaments, often in all three.
Somebody teched the firetruck outta that ledge kick.
D1 is the only one that can get something out of m2k. m2k is smart, but most people get nothing out of him.
Jonksy lol really? D1 always asks the stupidest questions.
+cruintention yea. I feel like other people are too afraid of offending or upsetting M2K, or are at least too formal, while Scar just tries to get his thoughts in to words. I believe he interviewed him at P@X and he was like "Be more specific" like 100 times and that's what it took for him to open up
Correction : The aforementioned interview was at TBH5
14:27 "pump fist"
Get wrecked Westballz.
Idk why people hate on m2k.
becayse ge is robo
Brandon DeGraw Does anyone hate M2K?
Westballz falco and hairline looking crisp this video
9:40
yeah
first match. m2k two stocks, westballz one. m2k just camps on the edge and wait for westballz to come and make a mistake. and it happens exactly like that. thats why i sometimes don't like m2k. every player can do such a shit with sheik..
It's called playing smart...
forget bout it
That's not "sheik," that's "M2K." And there's nothing unfair about it. M2K is impeccable on the ledge and he knows it, so he uses that strength he has. If people were better on the ledge (or as good as M2K is), they could contest that behavior.
i can do that shit too, it's easy with sheik. it is not like you need uncredible skill to do it
I can almost guarantee that you wouldn't be a able to do half the crap M2K does with sheik. Your clearly just butt hurt over west ballz losing, and you have not made a single reasonable argument for him being better, or why he should have won. You can probably barely do this shit against computers or your friends, which is entirely different from managing to pull it off on a very skilled player such as west ballz.

11:29
4:10
Westballz is a gangster with Falco.
10:57 :O
Yeah M2K was so sloppy on the first match on FD. I think he knows he should've won that one. But your still the best M2K!
Arguable, but whatever makes you go to sleep at night.
I'm sorry, have you met every smash player ever?
Treo Zucic
I'm sorry but do world Rankings not mean a thing. (And yes I know he is not number 1 at the current moment for Melee)
3:34....
M2K is the BEST!!!
Mm good advice
West is hetting better but why and how is he dieing by his mid air dodge
unreal sdi @ 6:59
everything is sick
"....Done."
-D1 2014
Westballz would be even more godlike than he already is if he worked on his edgeguarding.
Dat interview 😂
Very nice battle :D
For those of you who still watch this.. turn on subtitles, thank me later
I love it when pbnj imitates m2k
It's like Dave Chappelle imitating white people
D1 I love you but you have to actually ask questions if you want good answers. A guy comes out of Grand Finals going "We both just played awful" and you have no follow up questions?
I think wesballz was on point for the first few games
C U R C U Z B A L L Z
Guys, if Westballz SDd, he would be crestfallz
What do you mean "if"
wow
lolm2k
Westballz has some really irregular movement.
Atleast m2k used to fight me...
if only westballz would learn how to play in disadvantage state, lol
lol buzzkill at the end
Mew2King
Time to use 1st comment to say... why are they both red?
destroyer 2k king
westballz' hat bothers me so much
The crowd wasn't hype at all...
It was hyped for PM
And that automatically means they aren't having a good time?
VastSpartan ...barf
flyingpotato3 barf what? PM rocked that tournament. I forgot melee was there when people were just as excited for PM. All the great high gameplay especially the Grand Finals.
flyingpotato, lol, nice name. Anyways, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "...barf" Brawl would like a word with you.
Questballz
LOL M2K
Bair-ley Kappa
We both played horrible I don't wanna lie.- Lol M2k
LUL M2K triggered HotPokket
ミキッタ!! is cute^^!
LOL Watch this in .25 speed and they sound like they're tripping harrrd
I'm getting sick of watching M2K win all the time.. It seems like all his Winners Final matches involve him winning due to stage selection. I mean come on, if the commentators can call out exactly what he does before it happens, that's gotta be something he's been doing since forever.
I'm fairly certain that if people stayed on the maps that they beat M2K on, he'd still lose on them the second time.
The reason M2K always has the stage advantage is because he plays so many characters.
agree with target hippo, m2k knows when he is at a disadvantage and when hes not, he plays iit smart
M2K only wins if Armada and Mango aren't playing.
There's actually a rule against counterpicking to a stage you've already won on
"I'm getting sick of watching M2K win all the time" - lol you fucking idiot, you're mad because he's a great player? Can someone pass the SALT!
