The lengths of the side platforms for Dreamland is actually significant for peach players - you can do a down throw reaction techchase combined with a standard chaingrab on platforms to rack up huge damage, and when remembering the %s that it stops working each platform is different. The left platform works to about 80%, while the right platform can sometimes squeeze out another down throw. Now the TOP platform being significantly bigger means that by the time this down throw chaingrab stops working, you can up throw > nair and usually kill, resulting in an almost 0 to death from a grab for Falcon (chaingrab % starts at around 10%). The fact that the top platform is bigger makes you able to 0 to death spacies/falcon (although it's much more easier/practical for bad reaction techchasers on falcon). I'm sure there's something similar for other characters with the top platform in particular.
Falco can also platform dash from ledge on right side while whispy is blowing to the right. he can't on the left side while whispy blows to the left (I think)
I absutely love the easter eggs you have sprinkled around these videos. On one screen a slot is missing that's named "whered he go?" Then when we cut to the game, Mr Game and Watch is sitting at the side with the name "here." I love it
Ness's jab foot hitbox is extremely useful because it lets you jab reset if you land behind someone after dair. I recall it almost being removed from PM at some point, presumably because a dev said "why the hell is that there?", and all the Ness mains revolted.
Only problem is it presumes the only way Melee is played is competitively. It IS possible to enjoy melee while not caring if something is “tournament legal” you know
Thanks for the tip about ganon's second jab! If I'm playing melee with items on against someone, and happen to accidentally jab the wrong way, I'll do a double jab to bring ganon's hitbox slightly forward for a narrow dodge via micro-spacing.
Great editing, as always. Long forgotten are the days of gameplay compilations. This is great content in every way, from the subject, to the script and the flawless presentation. The best Melee content on RUclips, for sure.
has anybody noticed this? at 1:43, Mr. Game & Watch is missing on the character select screen, and his label's repalced with "WHERE'D HE GO?" - and in the next scene, he's got the name "here." as he's hangin' out with Peach in Dream Land. what a cute easter egg!
Dreamland platforms are useful for zelda actually, she can stand on the edge of both side plats and platform/ledge-cancel her up b if she goes directly to the side, but they cancel at different spots because of the distance in height. She can actually do some really dumb stuff if timed correctly
gosh more people need to learn this style of branding and aesthetic!! your thumbnails and editing are def some of the best in the smash community and I think more creators could learn a lot from you!!! you do things gpodni like that sjjdkfkg
Its not useless knowledge! cause ill use this when I never play melee cause, oh wait yea, I dont play melee but still watch these, this is all useless knowledge to me but I love watching
have a similar thing with hearthstone where I always look at the cardspoiler for the next expansion. I just love speculating how they change the meta, but I haven't played in like 3 years.
@@loosemoose5217 I'm not a competitive player either and just play it with friends for fun. Its fun to use this usless tech with friends. I get it if you don't have fun playing it though, its not everyone's cup of tea
1:43 I love how mr game & watch is missing with his named changed to Where'd he go? Then, in the next scene, he appears with the name 'here.' A beautiful detail I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't paying attention to slot colors
Roy's player select always bothered me, and I couldn't figure out why until this video. It also appears to be bigger than any other character. And that also explains why I would get hit by ness when standing behind him. I always assumed it was just jank hitbox getting caught on his front jab.
I've watched this video multiple times and I've never noticed that game and watch is gone from the character select screen and then his tag is "here" at 1:44 The subtle editing things are what make your vids the best :)
Man I don't even play Melee or any other figting game but I've just been LOVING your vids!! The way you bring up these unique in-game aspects are just so entertaining.
I’ve watched you for awhile now. Mostly started out with a rare video or two awhile ago, and have now come back and started watching most of your videos. Quality content that finds a way of not turning stale and covering a great game, with a great style of narration. I’m telling everyone here this to set up backstory, because until now i’ve always pronounced his channel name “A sum samus” or “asous samus” but when i took a second to actually read it and pronounce it, i realize it’s “Asum saus” or “awesome sauce” *WHAT*
You could have told another quirk in the character select screen The clone characters are actually farther back from the camera compared to everyone else
0:53 Had to come back to this vid after I saw the Leffen video where he talks about how it's significantly harder to jump from the ledge to the middle platforms as Fox on the left side of Dream Land.
1:04 Left Platform: Slightly less room for a Roll Dodge Right Platform: Slightly more room for a Roll Dodge 1:52 Peaches could use this as a way to distract their opponent, or annoy them. 5:20 While small, could have niche applications.
0:33 I swear I've seen that character before, does anyone know where it's from to help rejog my memory Idk it's probably just from some unity pack, but hey maybe somebody knows
I literally have not played melee in 5 years but your videos are sooo good and have such a great credence that I know way too much about melee than I actually should
I dread the day when there will no longer be interesting things for AsumSaus to cover about Melee without just rehashing old stuff. I know there's probably still lots to talk about, but I know the well will dry up one day..
Fun fact: if you look closely at the thumbnail, the fox shown is a fake fox. The real fox mccloud died in 1966 in an r-wing crash.
i see what you did there
The fox was paul

big brain
It also affects waveland timings, which can kinda mess with you if you’re trying to practice it specifically for dreamland.
While Mario can still auto-cancel his up-B on both lower platforms, it's a couple frames slower on the right platform.
Falco can also platform dash from ledge on right side while whispy is blowing to the right. he can't on the left side while whispy blows to the left (I think)
As someone who has never played smash melee, nor knows any tech in other Smash bros games, I’d like to mention that I have no idea what you just said.
"Where'd he go?"
"here."

oh people definitely have noticed it. well it's still really special!
nah, ness is just doing a wii-fit forward air with his jab. I've heard that if you do ness's jab offstage the foot hitbox can spike.
Yup. The back foot of Wii Fit’s Fair spikes

Well it’s a weak spike and is more of a semi-spike angle but it still counts according to the Wiki

The fact about DL platforms being different lengths is pretty useful, as Fox can NIL on the right one from ledge, but not on the left one.

I was so excited for this and then the first one about Dreamland platforms actually does affect some characters platform-warping with certain aerials.
The platforms on dreamland have an effect on fox jumping on them from ledge. The right one is easier to get than the left
Asumsaus: pretty groovy.
the entire society: pretty groovy.
