[@jaylorona14]

I knew I'd see you here Britton lol

[@ethanpritt542]

That Mario game was probably the most tas thing I've ever seen.

[@Gh_ello]

As a ness main im proud of this.

[@Dodger77]

Love the d smash kill, Psi Magnet Thunder Jacket, and the Barrel Jacket kill. Oh and putting Falco inside YS was insane!! XD

[@ilikechocolate_idk]

Psi magnet its ultimate ness stuff, but fire to see that you understand a ton of melee ness tech

[@gianlucatartaro1335]

Honestly, I’ve always thought Ness was underrated. Not quite viable like Samus or Yoshi, but definitely better than low tier. His aerials are all great, his kill moves are very powerful, and his only real problem is his pea-sized grab. Even his recovery is not as bad as people think because you can start it off really far off stage if you know what you are doing, and it has one of the highest priority hitboxes in the game. He’s definitely not quite viable, but I’d personally stick him on similar levels as Link and DK, instead of the likes of Zelda and Kirby.

[@SimnaibnSind]

Its good to hear that, but you arent right when it comes to his recovery.

[@reedyrootbeer]

@@SimnaibnSindhe is

[@SimnaibnSind]

@@reedyrootbeer He is what?

[@nayd5043]

The recovery is garbage and super short in this game.

[@matthiasschuster9505]

It can also easily be contested by sheer range. You dont get a priority hitbox, if yours is out of reach and the enemy one's is hitting you.

[@sutfolsemaj]

Bro if this isn't the best video I've ever watched.
seriously, you did my favorite character in all of smash bros so proud.

[@chunk0354]

Thanks, had the help of some very knowledgeable people.

[@mitch7918]

This is the craziest ness movement I've ever seen

[@paulcochran7007]

THE LAST STOCK AGAINST FALCO WAS NASTY

[@eduz8213]

He got revenge from the ganon video lmao

[@Chihiro.V3]

i knew you could do it ness im proud of you

[@AntechamberAE]

The year is 20NS. Every pro plays Ness at tournaments. Final Destination only.

[@defibillytor6639]

The schmoovment is smoooooth

[@smokedem]

This is so good

[@CopperScott]

That poor falco

[@jensoh]

a man can really dream thanks to Chunk0...

[@Slatanata22]

I like this

[@roguehippo1196]

ive been a ness main for a while and ive never seen anything like 2:30 what the hell is happening there lol

[@chunk0354]

when mario or doc cape ness while he is in that thunder launch thing, he can go in the stage.
The menu that comes up is just to take control of the cpu to make him cape

[@TwinHacari]

I don't even watch melee but this shit is anime. Keep up the good work 💪

[@juandelgado464]

It's so funny that the Falco CPU DI is so atrocious that ness gets early kills off of it 🤣

[@chunk0354]

dash attack at 0 consistently kills with the right distance from the ledge, can't remember if you can actually survive it with DI. Since specific hitboxes of Ness's dash attack send in very disadvantageous directions for the opponent.

[@Slagg541]

NAH 2:29 WAS CRAZY

[@mitch7918]

1:44 what the fuck

[@HomebrewForever]

Being viable in melee won’t brin- wait wrong character

[@nathanhayward7162]

How did dash attack kill at 4%?

[@chunk0354]

Specific set up to kill at 0, I dont remember if it works on any stage or just yoshis. But if someone rolls to the edge its over for them if you space your DA correctly.

[@WanderFilledWorldofMelee]

Ness down b??
Has a hit box 😮

[@chunk0354]

Nope, tis only an illusion lol. Thunder jacket and good timing

[@WanderFilledWorldofMelee]

ness hidden viable no longer

[@piouspigeon9327]

WoW nothing shows competitive game player better than playing against the computer 😂😂

[@chunk0354]

I dont have the patience or skill to choreograph both characters. Maybe in the future. For now the CPU usually gives me something reasonable to work with, but I curate what the cpu does to prevent it from doing something dramatically stupid, usually.

[@piouspigeon9327]

@@chunk0354 your right. The super obvious choice would be you playing both. How silly of me to assume that there are no other options. Wait a sec… just a sec. Is it possible for another person to play?!

[@chunk0354]

@piouspigeon9327 Goodness I doubt I’d be able to find someone willing to play one frame at a time with me for a few hours every couple days. Most people would find it to be quite a chore.

[@TheRealSorav]

In case you can't tell it's a Tool Assisted run. Aka What you're seeing isn't actually happening in real time. That's what TAS means@@piouspigeon9327

[@f2painp259]

If you’re complaining about how about you try making your own videos like this? This man takes the time out of his life to entertain an audience, puts hours into his work, and posts it for others to enjoy. If you have a problem with that, that’s your problem. Respect to you @chunk0354 for keeping your cool.

[@LAZRGATR]

0:18 yo did he just walk up slowly and forward smash?
