Its not even just the technical ability these clips take that surpise me its the insane creativity to even imagine up these sequences in the first place
As someone who has played melee for a total of 3 minutes, about ten years ago, I can definitely understand and follow everything that is happening by at least 2%. Which is pretty incredible if I do say so myself.
@@Forged4War206 that reductionist description of melee is the insult lol. You can say a painter is just stroking a brush on a piece of paper. The painting is obviously more than that, it's a creative expression of ideas and emotions. Melee is/can also be a creative expression of how someone thinks and feels
Stoked to see the brinstar escape section, the brinstar escape sequence from Revolution is my favorite part of any tech skill video so really cool to see more like it even today
this is probably my favorite tech skill video ever! super fun and creative ideas throughout the whole thing. you are fluent in a love language that very few people speak. thanks for making this :)
there's a layer of expression here in such a simple video ive yet seen tapped into , and I feel its because of how hard we have to go outside conventions to avoid demonetization these days. Such a chill simple video but the visuals combined with Hiatus Kaiyote makes me realize how much of art never changes cause we arent allowed to take whats there and make it our own
I made a Falcon video with a similar energy to this years ago but I feel like this is everything I ever wanted that to be, Squid always pushing movement to the max with this character
Enjoying this watch while consuming my 3rd Wendy's meal in the past 4 days is an experience I never thought I would have. Thank you STC for this opportunity, keep up the good work bro!
Another banger. Would love to have your other two tech skill videos linked in the description where you mentioned them since the titles are art not description (for good reason, of course.)
You’re nuts, but what I’m really here for is to compliment your choice in music and that thumbnail. I’m a huge fan of HK so it put a big grin on my face.
Yooo, love "movement showcase" videos, i enjoy "Too Much For Nintendo" more than any combo video, so seeing a sick falcon movement video is always welcome
squid, once again you have made art. let us know when you are canonized in the Smithsonian or have a galery/screening night. Really, this is more than a combo video
This is shades of Perfect Control from SuperDoodleMan I suddenly felt just as amazed as I felt back in 2006 by what's possible in this game... EXCEPT THIS TIME IT'S NOT TAS Immaculate job!
yeah that was noticeable on purpose, i just couldn’t do all of that back to back so i just cut it but didnt wanna try to make it look like i had cause its an honest vid
wtf do u mean this isnt a TAS 😭
:))))
? I thought this was tas. Does it say anywhere that it isn’t?
@@FlamingZelda3 it’s not!
@@stompknee idt i believe u post a hand cam with it next time
@@pinnacleexpress420 i did a lot of it live on twitch, you can find clips!
at this point I associate hiatus kaiyote with clean falcon movement
that's how this video started LOL, literally the day after this single was released I had to start
Bro my old band mates loved hiatus koyote and smash wtf is goin on here
@stompknee nice job on the thumbnail too. That's actually what made me stop scrolling at first, thinking it was some Hiatus Kiayote video
Your combo videos actually introduced me to hiatus kaiyote lol
@@brendan3461 same here!
In a surprise twist, SquidTheCat wins Homemadewaffle's tech skill contest with a 14 year late submission
but yeah, really reminded me of crazy little jungle bird and all the other great movement/tech skill vids that came out from that contest, good job :)
@@temp1534 thank you for mentioning crazy little jungle bird i went and watched it for the first time, its great as well
@@develrandomdankmemes7586 if you haven't seen them, go watch all the videos from that contest i mentioned. there were quite a few good ones!
fr 😂😂
when i watch this, my belief in the beauty of melee flares up like hand pain
this is beautiful too
Its not even just the technical ability these clips take that surpise me its the insane creativity to even imagine up these sequences in the first place
This is actually pretty good
This dude uploaded a 2010 style tech skill video in 2024.
Easiest like and subscribe of my life.
In the seamless grace of a dancer's movement we witness the human spirit in motion.
The smash x Hiatus Kaiyote niche is not one I expected to find myself in.
Yet here we are.
if theres a possible overlap between funk/R&B and fighting games then you've gotta sign me up to study that shit, i WILL be there
HIATUS KAIYOTE AND MELEE??!!?? MY LIFE IS RICH AND COMPLETE
you should find my other videos with their music
THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE
YEAH WTF
0:16 “show me your mo-fal-falcon-falcon kick” cookin
Platform fighters in the last 20+ years wishing they had this movement in thier games.
Rivals lol
@@mackojackoman rivals is such a gem
@@bluemarb1e787 yup
@@mackojacko can you do half this stuff in rivals?
@@pillman12 yep! All of it, except for the ledges. You can moonwalk, edge cancel, Waveland, etc...
It’s so incredible to see new melee tech 20+ years into its life. I feel like I’m watching a masterclass in shmovement.
0:33 i would like to take this time to thank Randall for *always* being there exactly whenever he is needed.
her: "hey babe come over"
me: "i cant im playing melee"
her: "my parents arent home"
me: 0:40

@@tako-sensei6072 impressive
Just some insanely impressive art...wow
It's clicking buttons bro. Calling it art is an insult to actual artists.

Movement and style will always be the most magical things about this game
the HKxMelee combo is not what i was expecting from my feed in a million years but i’m really fuckin here for it
1:44 got me feelin some type a way
god this movement is so clean
Stoked to see the brinstar escape section, the brinstar escape sequence from Revolution is my favorite part of any tech skill video so really cool to see more like it even today
"the space between the notes"
yeah wow
The porygon one killed me lmao
Awesome stuff as always!
never have i ever would have smash bros and hiatus kaiyote would be affiliated with each other, but here we are
Damn you make good melee videos
I've always loved these types of montage, I wonder why there are no more around
I think they are similar to skateboard tricks montage, wonderful
@@Ellesenzacognome yeah
this is probably my favorite tech skill video ever! super fun and creative ideas throughout the whole thing. you are fluent in a love language that very few people speak. thanks for making this :)
The movement of melee is just magically. Truly a great captain of the falcon momentum

Such a chill simple video but the visuals combined with Hiatus Kaiyote makes me realize how much of art never changes cause we arent allowed to take whats there and make it our own
I didn't expect my favourite band and smash to end up together in my YT recommends, but I'm SO glad it did!
The camera shot on Rainbow Cruise was beautiful
1:45 This is exactly how Captain Falcon would actually escape Planet Zebes. Next time the space pirates act up they should just send him in
I made a Falcon video with a similar energy to this years ago but I feel like this is everything I ever wanted that to be, Squid always pushing movement to the max with this character
I don't think I've ever seen something quite so satisfying before in my life
This is why I love Melee It's fun, broken (in the best way), sweaty, and never lies.
They just keep getting better and better!!!
From the tech to even the thumbnail combining Falcon knee with the EP cover art the song is from, everything really is beautiful 👌
Cooler than anything TAS wtf
Enjoying this watch while consuming my 3rd Wendy's meal in the past 4 days is an experience I never thought I would have. Thank you STC for this opportunity, keep up the good work bro!
man i dont even play melee but seeing the crossover between my fav band and a franchise i enjoy is dope
the gameplay, the clip selection, the edit - everything's truly beautiful
BRO CANNOT PUT THIS ON TIKTOK! all the edgers will be furious at how many edges were cancelled here
Edge cancel culture has gone too far
Did not expect a Melee X Hiatus Kaiyote video to pop up on my algorithm but I am so happy it did

my guy couldnt wait for the olympics and decided to make a gymnastics routine himself
Yooo, love "movement showcase" videos, i enjoy "Too Much For Nintendo" more than any combo video, so seeing a sick falcon movement video is always welcome
Reminds me of waterbirds gameplay. Sick af
I didn't know I needed a video like this
2:12 fun fact! this is actually cpt falcons training routine between players selecting his character
What a surprising song to find a melee techskill video to
Love a good movement tech showcase, awesome stuff
squid, once again you have made art. let us know when you are canonized in the Smithsonian or have a galery/screening night. Really, this is more than a combo video
When you complete all the remaining side quests before facing the final boss
What a beautifully perfect Falcon
This brought me to tears.
I watched nearly 3mins of Captain Falcon doing something I don't understand. I stayed for the music. I don't even listen to music.
“Babe wake up, it’s the things of beauty that innuendo studios spoke of.”
Damn squid is at tas
OG surpassed superdoodleman videos
i appreciate the art you make
This is shades of Perfect Control from SuperDoodleMan
I suddenly felt just as amazed as I felt back in 2006 by what's possible in this game... EXCEPT THIS TIME IT'S NOT TAS
Immaculate job!
As a Captain Falcon main, This clean smooth movement makes me very happy!
u are one of my inspirations in life genuinely nd i love the way you see the game
if only all melee vids had music this sweet :)
These Falcons Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should
this is beautiful thank you
oddly relaxing
too of my favorite things just combined whtf
I LOVE THAT SONG
I saved this in my “Inspiring” playlist before I even started the video
love that fox fighting groove😁
BANGER
This was incredible! 😍
This is some TAS stuff! very impressive
I can’t believe this video just made me break the cycle of death and rebirth
Who needs to bathe with movement this CLEAN
boy is this crispy
Letsgoooo my fave from the new album 🙏🙏🙏
fuck yeah hiatus Kaiyote thats on mate. Saw them live in 2016, life changing event
Falcon just jamming out with his headphones. He was fine.
i got to see hiatus kaiyote a week before this dropped
this is so dope
I feel so at peace watching this
0:40 porygon backsots
Work of art. Truly. ♥
Some say he is still wall jumping through space on a porygon balloon.
If we showed this clip to melee players in 2003, they'd all say this is TAS movement without hesitation
All of your videos are beautiful squid. ❤❤
Is the thumbnaail of this video a reference to another video someone made about melee called "Things of Beauty: Super Smash Bros. as Spectator Sport"?
exactly what i thought
exactly what i thought
absolute dance
very beautiful
My man is smoothin on ice holy shiit
it might not be optimal, but it is beautiful
Cool stuff. 1:56 Splice though?
yeah that was noticeable on purpose, i just couldn’t do all of that back to back so i just cut it
but didnt wanna try to make it look like i had cause its an honest vid
@@stompknee Makes sense! Respect
YEAH BABY
CLEAN
I could watch this for hours
He’s schmooovin!
beautiful thumbnail video and song
Beautiful movement
This is magnum opus material right here🔥🔥🔥
