“WHO PRACTICES THAT!?” So AMSA actually suggests practicing how to parry against, red turtles shells. This man has pretty much been parrying jiggs rollout for YEARS 😂
It is crazy how there is a meta game for every single aspect of this game, from characters, to stages, even to little silly things like RPS before matches or for controller ports. Hungry box starts counter picking Amsa to dreamland to time him out? Well guess what, Amsa will get really clean at platform movement, and get so good that he now times you out easier than the other way around. Well, guess your forced to now go to FD against Yoshi instead. One little meta game that constructs just a single matchup. Now imagine how many there are across all of melee.
Amsa is insane, 5 years ago if you told me yoshi would be competitively viable at this level… I would not believe it. There have always been a select few characters that you pick if you want to win in this game. Fox, falco, shiek, and marth. Very few have taken a character to this level on their back alone, hbox with puff, armada with peach, and now amsa with yoshi. It’s not just a gimmick, it’s the real deal. And he did it through dedicated practice, without a huge scene in Japan.
You know any time Amsa vs Hbox, Yoshi vs Jiggs, it always ends up being a game of anxiety and frustration. I just get sweaty just watching the set from home
I got sweaty watching hungrybox vs. zain. I think it's how marth needs like 20 openings to kill and puff can easily kill in 1. The only reason I think that match up is okay is because marth also wins neutral like 20 to 1
@@voodooedits785 The reason Hbox keeps losing against zain is because puff should have a conistent edge guard against marth but he keeps missing it. There was a absurd amount of times zain should have died but didn't. Thats the main reason people say Marh has a losing matchup. But becase a mixture of zains god tier recovery ability and Hbox has not complelety mastered the marth edge guards zain lives much larger then he should have and puff loses the main advantage she should have.
@@gerradwalker346 puff has incredible flight enabling him to choose when he wants to go in. Yoshi has decent flight but makes up for it with being able to take many hits with the super shield. All in all not crazy differences but enough to make them unique in their respective play style
@@gerradwalker346 Puff is very much a glass cannon, floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee. Yoshi is more like a traditional type of defensive character, a “tank”. Puffs defensive ability comes from her ability to not get hit. Yoshis comes from his ability to get hit and still live, and sometimes hit you right back like nothing even happened to him.
amsa's very existence is the healthiest thing for the game right now. He's living proof that this game is not solved, not even slightly. It's not 2014 anymore, Yoshi's not a blindside pick. He's been two-stocking gods for almost a decade, they all know what's up by now. There's some magic in the formula that amsa's tapped into. It's one part skill, one part hard work, one part Yoshi's latent potential and 0% luck.
@@idk_what_im_doing04Aklo literally won a tourney with Link bruh, mid tiers are going crazy. I’m honestly expecting another tier list soon, at this point I don’t see how Mario or Ganondorf are better than Link and I really don’t think Yoshi should be below Pika
man this is like the battle of the niche master. they're both the only players of their characters, or at least the 2nd best is just nowhere near their level. but its like old guard vs a guy from the post PPMD era
15:09 The exact moment aMSa regained his composure. All the pressure on him right now to make it to Grand Finals was just exhaled from his body. Dude went GOD mode after this the rest of the tourney. Hungrybox never stood a chance after that. Underdog of the year.
I like the commentary too. It’s melee, it’s way to fast of a game to try to give a play by play. What melee commentary needs is appreciation of key moments, and straight vibes.
@@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot Amsa definitely has a case for current number 1 after winning multiple stacked tournaments in short order. IBDW is getting there with so many top 4's and a Major win. Zain always seems to bounce back and win tournaments after getting beat. On the other hand, HBOX needs to show more consistency in makimg top 3's, and Mango needs to show he can consistently perform in multiple big tournaments outside of his region that aren't invitation only closed environments.
@@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot between the combo of Hbox focusing less on the game and falling behind in the meta a little bit has made him a tiny bit rusty-I’ve got a small feeling he might be retiring sooner than later
anyone else notice that when hbox just bair walls and spaces bair he just wins every neutral exchange, but then when he grounds himself and goes for things like pound he gets fucked and dies? if hbox replaced like even half his pounds with spacing bair again he probably wins LOL.
Winner Spoilers: What an amazing match between hbox and amsa but I really hoped hbox would win these finals, and hey its all video games at the end of the day
You're right but take that last line out. It doesn't matter if it is Melee, dominos, chess, skiing, marksmanship, or basketball. They are professionals competing at the absolute highest level
Who knew that jet lag was what was holding aMSa back all these years? 😅
It wasn't all of that tho but he grinded & stayed consistent.

What are you saying??
15:04 I've never seen two players so shocked and in disbelief at the same time. They both couldn't believe that this interaction was a stock trade.
15:46 That guy popping off. Same. aMSa playing out of his goddamn mind!!
Both of them we're like "holy shit! We take those I guess."
The most DBZ moment in melee that I have ever seen!
I have
The Best DBZ moment of this year at the very least!
I'm frankly shocked to see an aMSa Hbox set that didn't include Dream Land.
I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Amazing Melee.
hbox's doctor said he cannot CP to dreamland anymore because it's too rough on his heart
Wait you are from siiva

Out of all the possible match ups in a winners finals, I couldn't possibly have predicted Jigglypuff vs yoshi 5 years ago.

最終試合も最後の最後まで気が抜けない良い試合だった！

What a good game, Yoshi feels so fast.
yea i guess but i can still see him even though he is that fast
no shit amsas Yoshi feels faster than fox
Wavedash and DJC makes Yoshi's movement look snappy.
These are the two strongest defensive characters but for completely different reasons.
In which reasons?

It’s impossible to not like Amsa
As an Hbox fan I love Amsa but I only hate him when he wins to him.
He's very likely a nice guy but u never know
I mean, he and Axe are friends, but you never know…
@@vzy8354 u hate him just because hbox lost to a yoshi ,what a fact
@@luigi64gamer19 No, I only hate him in those sets, but appart from that I'm an Amsa enjoyer!
4:17
This an aMsa read. There is no escape. He crouched for a full 2 seconds and I'm now convinced that he can read the future
Going to apex as my first event ever this game made me fall in love with melee all over again.
The fact that this was already uploaded is actually amazing. Thank you!
What a match! Love to see Amsa taking the match and how Hbox can never be counted out until the very end of the match. Long live melee!
Set of the tournament right here. Great watching these 2 play
15:49 dude going crazy in the backwards hat was my exact reaction too lol
Hungrybox took insane mental damage when Amsa parried that rollout
21:45 Nastiest read of the tournament.
15:56 the guy hitting his vape had me Lmaoo
These are my 2 favorite people to watch, and I always want them to win, but when they face each other it’s chill b/c I don’t care who wins lol
Same, i dont like watching melee if one of these 2 arent in it. I did find myself rooting for Hbox just a little more
@@starmii5955 its always the furries
@@DoctorDeuce bro caught a stray so fast 😭
@@DoctorDeuce ...? Im confused
I mained jigglypuff for five years and have been maining yoshi for four. Love watching both these players ha.
That meteor cancel to bair to up air to rest was absolutely dank Hbox 10:18
In 5 years Yoshi went from a laughing stock to highly Viable
Contender for worst character in the Game a decade ago, now is potentially a borderline Top Tier. The Glow-up is real.
really makes me wonder if other characters will rise soon

That DBZ costed hbox the whole set
Omg this was intense lets go amsa
Sorry hbox 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The 2 TV setup is a genius way around port priority. How do they possibly set that up with zero lag?
jigglypuff against yoshi at a melee major final, what a time to be live
15:50 I didn't know Stifler liked to play Melee
I used to hate watching this matchup, and now I love it for some reason?
17:30ishhh hgod waiting for the clock on botom right to hit 420 before counterpicking. GOAT status
THIS IS THE HYPEST STORYLINE BRO
Last stock of game 4 was the best mind games I’ve seen in a while
15:09 The exact moment aMSa regained his composure. All the pressure on him right now to make it to Grand Finals was just exhaled from his body. Dude went GOD mode after this the rest of the tourney. Hungrybox never stood a chance after that. Underdog of the year.
Is it possible.... that Amsa.. a yoshi... is #1? what a weird timeline
16:15 Damn. I didn't know Yoshi was a Capoeira dancer.
I think we entered an alternate dimension when quarantine happened. Feels like I'm living in a whole new world. Melee and everything else included
I might be alone but I really like the commentary
Yo all, gotta need to say and an HE, lets be real he gotta all oh my god, yaknow what I'm saying =/= commentary
I like the commentary too. It’s melee, it’s way to fast of a game to try to give a play by play. What melee commentary needs is appreciation of key moments, and straight vibes.
Not meteor-cancelling the fair in game 4 may have cost hbox the entire set. Huge props to both though.
this z-axis miss rest on last stock game 4 too
yall really have a green yoshi on thumbnail
amsa new god of melee
@16:25 “And Hbox putting on the murder face…”
Too accurate 😂
One thing I've noticed is how much quieter the crowd mic is at tournaments that are sponsored by Nintendo. Probably just a coincidence lolz
aMSa plays at such a consistently fast pace that watching anybody else now looks slow
Bro game one that first stock was a blood bath
The intensity is insane
2:20 He practically TELEPORTED.
Lol that guy vaping 16:00
What a great set, very tense games
I just realized hmw is your unplug your controller dawg guy
This is so incredibly sick
amsa is so good, you love to see it
Honestly think it's about time to put Yoshi above Pika and Icies in the tier list.
Over time Amsa did not only grow in Melee but he also grew a prominent Adam's apple
aMSa and Aklo are the most hype melee players around right now
aMSa made me watch Melee again
This Is One of the best melee matches I have ever seen
Amsa's so good at this game it's shocking
why do they even have a timer? you think it's goin to last that long
Lol these two competitors literally went to time game 4 of the previous time they played
5:38 Cursed z-axis
aMSa is so good he make Yoshi look like a top tier. wtf
That second set SD though 😤🫣
Amsa is probably the best player in the world against hungrybox
Better put an air time limit!
Zain and Cody say otherwise
This looks exhausting.
That was a good match :)
For me, the two best players in the world

Amsa is fucking cracked
15:04
When 2 Smash Melee legends clash…
amsa has won 3 majors now and commentators still dont know what a parry is
The clash of the titans
anyone else notice that when hbox just bair walls and spaces bair he just wins every neutral exchange, but then when he grounds himself and goes for things like pound he gets fucked and dies? if hbox replaced like even half his pounds with spacing bair again he probably wins LOL.
I can’t listen to scar he’s the trump of smash. I love HMW and toph but scar can never be wrong. And when he is he still isn’t
Box < amsa such a great set!
Que haces aquí ibai!
We are number 1 aMSa!
What a set bro
a missed rest is the difference wow
A mid game pop off is pretty disrespectful imo... I'm an hbox fan, but that was a bit much.
10:29 thats a huge what
MY FUCKING GOAT
YES !!!
Amsa Japanese version is better than Amsa Canadian Version
is this jmook on the mic??
Nope
That's HMW and junebug on coms.
That room must smell horrid.
Poor hungrybox.. he's born to lose..
