For real. A lot of Melee "celebrities" I wouldn't even know what to say if I met them, but I would simply tell Toph I consider him the Smash Historian lol
Man, it's so important for ANY community to teach its new members its history, and you guys are really doing that. You're making content and keeping knowledge alive for new generations.
I managed to get them all right, and I even thought of an extra person who beat Armada, it was Captain Jack (but he beat pre-godhood Armada lol). Also trivia is my favorite content on this channel, please keep up the great work!
IDK why but it's so satisfying seeing them just know the answer to these questions. It's such a cool validation of the game's history being remembered.
@@OGKidMelee I’ve noticed its a few people that really dig it. But if you do, consider checking out Edwin and Pikachu’s articles and buying the Book of Melee 🙂
Zain is trying to rewrite history by calling them a Zain Drop and a Zain Combo Also I remember the Roy f smash, because yesterday I watched M2K vs iBDW at TBH9 and I saw a comment that was arguing about calling it a tomahawk vs empty hop (talking about M2K's set ending combo,) and one of the last comments in that thread said that it originally started as Roy f smash
@@mlalbaitero m2k did short hop bair, grab ledge. "Zain drop" I believe is short hop aerial, land on stage, immediate pc drop. I heard zain explain it once on stream. But please never call it the zain drop /s
There was a smasher I went to high school with named John and he did, actually, John the most of anyone. He was even the second best player in my group of friends (I was like... 4th) but he still had so many johns every time he lost a game.
LOL toph and PP trying to one up each other on obscure knowledge drops. "Fun fact he's actually from blabla and made all this tech," "Fun fact Isai and Gentleman actually had a duel to decide"
N0ne is one of my favorite players but he's so bad at these things that it turns into it's own form of entertainment. Some of my favorite vids on youtube would watch this shit daily
As old players, I think it’s funny that terms like sex kick are such basic knowledge for us but poor Zain is like that innocent kid. The look on Zains face when PPMD is explaining it and at first he’s totally lost then you can see when it hits him.
These trivia videos are fun and interesting. However, I think it would be helpful to show the correct answer on the screen at the end of each round. It wasn't so much of an issue with this episode, but the correct answers are not always clear with how much the players are debating and talking about other things.
I remember learning a few years back that the Tomahawk was called that because Roy/Marth's fsmash looks like the motion of them throwing a tomahawk Promptly forgot that until I watched this video
You should rename the video to "PPMD and Toph teach N0ne and Zain melee history"
even better now that gg liked that comment 😂
"I don't know anything about sex"
-Toph, 2021
“Same” - n0ne
@@gabeoneill5162 nOne's son came from an immaculate conception
"The guy still Johns and gets mad when you bring it up" LMAO
those are good friends
Toph has so much melee knowledge it’s insane
Not much sex knowledge apparently. The sex kick is totally in the sex meta right now.
Commentators mostly know more.
For real. A lot of Melee "celebrities" I wouldn't even know what to say if I met them, but I would simply tell Toph I consider him the Smash Historian lol
I think the thing I respect the most about GG is that they use PP’s photo where he’s in an EG jersey. Respecting his history, you’ve got to respect it

shoutouts to Allston Melee for being the only reason I knew any of the old school questions lol
I knew the last one for that reason.
LMAO same

Gentleman history is amazing
Yeah the story of "The Gentleman" blew my mind.
3:44 is why I love our DOCTOR! teaching the next generation the critical lessons. Great video GGs thanks for all you do for smaaaa

Yess I love Melee history!! Shoutouts to Pikachu942 and Edwin Budding 🔥🔥🔥
Don’t we all Firepuff

@@FirePuff12 ya know Firepuff l might just do that :D
@@OGKidMelee awesome!!
@@FirePuff12 Yeah l also want to get into competitive smash! :D
I love hearing the players give more backstory to why they know what things are

I thought Zain drop is when u do a bair to grab ledge

I'm pretty sure tomahawk was coined by an old-school Roy main who would just yell it out at tourneys lol
There was a smasher I went to high school with named John and he did, actually, John the most of anyone. He was even the second best player in my group of friends (I was like... 4th) but he still had so many johns every time he lost a game.
PP and Toph should write memoirs about their melee careers
LOL toph and PP trying to one up each other on obscure knowledge drops. "Fun fact he's actually from blabla and made all this tech," "Fun fact Isai and Gentleman actually had a duel to decide"
love toph and ppmd busting out the lore
ngl i could listen to toph and ppmd talk about melee lore for HOURS
GG once again here to bless us with that good melee content!
I've been playing Melee since 2015 and I just learned so much more lore. Awesome video! PPMD & Toph are legends they got all the old school knowledge!
Armada was also double eliminated by Captain Jack in the pre-Genesis days (ESA2).
11:35 "He said originally, right?" "Yeah. And I was around for when that started"
Can one be more badass than PPMD?
It's so cool learning about the origins of these terms, because I've always wondered about them.
N0ne is one of my favorite players but he's so bad at these things that it turns into it's own form of entertainment. Some of my favorite vids on youtube would watch this shit daily
Shoutout Allston Melee for preparing me for this video!
Never thought I'd be watching so many non-gameplay Smash videos. Good shit GG.
I remembered that story about the Gentleman naming from the SSB Wiki, there's a LOT of interesting trivia on that site
happy n0ne makes me happy
Love hearing the toph stories
Damn the question about the tomahawk showed up in a pengboys video where hugs told the story of the Roy player
Thanks to GG for doing this and thanks to Allston Melee Top 10 videos for making sure I knew all the answers haha
glad y'all rebalanced the teams tho. Melee trivia is fun
wasn't PP teamed with Toph the last time you did this? yeah that team was cracked, glad it was rebalanced this time :P
9:10 Bruh that shit about why its called "gentleman" blew my mind.
The tomahawk question was the only one I knew the answer to
imagine being so good that youve only lost to 9 people in tournament. not even 10. armada's such a beast
Shoutout to hugs for the tomahawk history lesson
"Why is it even called s 3 x kick?"
"Well it's a move that, the longer it stays out the weaker it gets, so you can imagine..."
After this video I'll never think of Doc the same. It gives those pills a whole new meaning
s 3 x
As old players, I think it’s funny that terms like sex kick are such basic knowledge for us but poor Zain is like that innocent kid. The look on Zains face when PPMD is explaining it and at first he’s totally lost then you can see when it hits him.
I forgot about SilentSpectre beating Armada since I stopped counting it after the 0.9 controversy
Zain deadass wearing his old sponsors jacket
I watched an Ashkon smash vid and it legit almost the list of moves
These are always super cool
Im actually pretty surprised no one got the roy fsmash one. I was sure toph would know.
This was basically pp vs Toph lol
LOL none on s 3 x: "from what i've read on the internet..."
I knew it was Roy F-Smash, and I don’t even play the game
GG melee poppin off

i got them all correct
edit: i did not
I actually knew the Roy f smash one!
great video
The team of beards
LETS FUCKING GO GGMELEE
Y’all gotta sort out your league roster lmao
Wait Captain Jack beat armada
Why would you show us a set where Plup beats Armada but not choose the Lightning Kick one
Tribute to the algo, but also eager to know the name of the first music
didn’t captainjack beat armada
Just here blessing the algorithm
ARC ARC ARC
But didn’t wobbles beat armada
Nice content
y'all should switch up the color layout so that the bg's not white
Stupid question, what's the PPDrop?
they said PC-Drop, it's when you quickly grab the ledge out of your walking amination by turning towards the ledge at the right time
@@alexsmart007 Aaah, that makes a lot more sense, thanks!
GG | Mew2king 🤔
None of these guys watch hugs streams/videos smh my head
i was trying to remember where i’d heard the roy f smash thing lol
Oof. Loved the video but that reggie clip was upsetting. The front facing trying to appeal to the community while shutting it down in the background
Yessir
algorithm comment shameless shilling bless gg melee
GG you should buy da lads some new mics (-toph his is great)
PP you're great but that Amish beard has gotta go brother
