Jo, you do realise Icarus’ Dad built the wings so that they could escape the prison they’d been trapped in, not so that Icarus could show his Dad how nasty his falcon is?
Gonna be honest, I laughed so hard when that pit won. Was rooting for him the whole time too. Honestly made my day to see him come back a whole stock and show Jacob his Icarus complex.
Wait, what was Jacob talking about there at 40:34? Something about a game with a Pit? Eh, whatever. Point is, I do think Jacob's biggest weakness in this game is his cockiness. I feel like that's what keeps him being a relatively average competitive/items player; every time he does alright he acts like he's invincible. He's like the real life pit: mid tier with an Icarus complex.
Actually, the kirby intentionally kept sding, but because it was no stocks, the game took over and replaced the kirby with a bot for doing that. I think it also doesn't count gsp in 3 stock matches if you immediately just sd after the start
The second part is incorrect, but if you sd 3 times then the game just disconnects you. Only works if you don’t get hit on any of the three times. (I think it’s 3) I’ll be honest I gave up using this trick before
For those of you that didn’t see the pit game, falcon side b actually beat pit side b and Jacob won. It was a little hard to tell because of how the footage “corrupted,” but I am a master of finding johns, I mean, analyzing gameplay
9:17 that's why the trick is to play kirby until you're supposed to go through puberty and drop the character. Then, you pick him back up around twenty so you never age from then.
Jacob, I just wanna say again that I wasn’t even trying to be mean when I made the Icarus complex comment. I may be tripping but whenever you talk about it it sounds like it’s been replaying in your head at night
I don't think it matters what you specifically meant by it anymore. Your comment resonated with enough people to create a copypasya, and all those copies had different intentions. Probably mostly jokes. But the whole copypasta thing kind of drowns your intention out doesn't it? Fact is, we all called jacob a mid tier with an icarus complex and it may have hurt his pride a bit. But that isn't your foult anymore, the fault is on this collective shit-posting community

I'm pretty sure Pit would beat Falcon in this exchange more often than not, but Idk I don't play either of them enough to know anything about how their moves work.
my head canon, he armored the pit side b and killed him with his side b. his falcon so schnice that he killed pit with a move that doesnt kill. it was so cool that it couldnt be seen by human eyes without having them melt so it edited itself out of the video, only giving us the glimpse of greatness we could handle.

i think the funniest part about that Pit match is that Jacob died at 89% i don't think even Jigglypuff dies at 89% to Upperdash how bad is your DI man - Pit and Pittoo main
nah icarus' dad was daedalus, he's the guy who built the labyrinth that theseus fought the minotaur in. And yeah if he didn't use fucking WAX of all things as a binding agent for the feathers icarus would've lived
Jacob got hit by that side-b at 89% and the blue DI line seemed pretty optimal, so I'ma assume he didn't actually die Edit: omg, I made this after he talked about the Pit game. I'm sorry for not being a real fan but this has to stay up here
For Jo asking what the story of Icarus is. Daedalus was told by the king of Minos to build the Labyrinth, but then because the king didn't want people to know it existed he locked Daedalus and his son Icarus in a tower on an Island. Daedalus worked to figure out an answer and used a bunch of feathers and wax to make 2 pairs of wings for him and his son. He then gives Icarus 2 pieces of advice. - Don't fly to close to the Sun or the wax will melt. - Don't fly to close to the Ocean because the salt water will ruin the feathers. Icraus, being a Dumbass, immediately proceeded to fly too close to the sun because... well, being able to Fly was such a rush! And so the wings melted, he fell into the ocean, and drowned. Technically, the story of Icarus is supposed to be about Moderation, don't do anything too risky and stupid, but still try to live well. Modern interpretations just forgot that.
Here is what they don’t tell you: Icarus laughed as he fell. Threw his head back and yelled into the winds, arms spread wide, teeth bared to the world. (There is a bitter triumph in crashing when you should be soaring.) The wax scorched his skin, ran blazing trails down his back, his thighs, his ankles, his feet. Feathers floated like prayers past his fingers, close enough to snatch back. Death breathed burning kisses against his shoulders, where the wings joined the harness. The sun painted everything in shades of gold. (There is a certain beauty in setting the world on fire and watching from the centre of the flames.) -Fiona

As an Ike/Roy main I know the ball still exists, I just believe it no longer matters
For Jo asking what the story of Icarus is.
Daedalus was told by the king of Minos to build the Labyrinth, but then because the king didn't want people to know it existed he locked Daedalus and his son Icarus in a tower on an Island. Daedalus worked to figure out an answer and used a bunch of feathers and wax to make 2 pairs of wings for him and his son.
He then gives Icarus 2 pieces of advice.
- Don't fly to close to the Sun or the wax will melt.
- Don't fly to close to the Ocean because the salt water will ruin the feathers.
Icraus, being a Dumbass, immediately proceeded to fly too close to the sun because... well, being able to Fly was such a rush! And so the wings melted, he fell into the ocean, and drowned.
Technically, the story of Icarus is supposed to be about Moderation, don't do anything too risky and stupid, but still try to live well. Modern interpretations just forgot that.
Basically for Smash. Don't be an Alpharad Falcon, but don't be a Belmont either
