pika main here - my favorite strange pika thing is really obscure, but actually a pretty big deal - if pikachu is on the higher port number, his forward throw won't have an electric effect; it'll just have normal hitlag. this causes him to lose a significant amount of frame advantage on it, making it almost useless. in certain matchups, pikachu has to make a choice between a functional fthrow on port 1 or taking 1 less frame of throw hitstun on port 4, a choice i don't believe anyone else has to make.
This is especially important in Marth and sheik matchups if you want access to fthrow -> dair at the 90-110% range. Vs sheik, you have to make the choice if you want that kill setup or if you want to escape the CG much earlier
my favorite example of AsumSaus' attention to detail is the last video, when he wanted to be an "official RUclipsr", he put himself between Dream and Corpse, who are famous for not using cameras, then announced he got a camera, i love it
Well axe does his sweetspots at a distance where the extended hitbox is harder to hit. It's actually pretty strict to hit pika out of it unless you're very practiced vs pika
Zain will ONE day get the win against Axes Pikachu the same way Mang0 lost to a Captain Falcon recently. However. He needs to win consistently for it to matter to me.
This reminds me of Bowser's pivot grab in smash 4. Sure, it was large, but most of the ridiculous teleport grab clips are because of hurtbox shifting and other movements
As a Shulk main, few things were more satisfying than using Speed Art to pivot grab and slide halfway across the stage into a back-throw. Sliding grabs were probably one of my favourite things about Sm4sh. Ultimate grabs feel so static by comparison
@@YadonTheCat I think it used to until Ultimate. It was *really* bad in Smash 4 cause multiple characters could exploit it, especially with 2 frame punishment.
@@YadonTheCat I remember it being a problem in Smash 4, so I was surprised to hear him explain it here like if it was some obscure quirk. I don't remember if it's still in Ultimate, tho.
Hi kimchi here. Fun facts about Pikachu: Pikachu wavedash, normal landing animation, non l cancelled bair and jumpsquat all low profile many tall character's grabs for ranges of 2-18 frames. Pikachu's dashback puts him closer to his opponent because his tail extends outward and upward for up to 4 frames after dashing back. Pikachu's jumpsquat and wavedash tuck his tail hurtbox into his body mitigating the previous dashback problem.
There is a great clip of Axe getting tippered during his up b that also looks absurd, I think it was by PPMD at Summit 1 in one of the "challenge matches". That was always my go-to example for Pikachu stretching out so much. Also, nice video as always!
Axe doing a taunt-cancel wavedaash in his face is just another reason why Axe is the GOAT. Maybe not the best player at winning majors, but just the best overall smash player of all time!
@@bgmarshall I mean, if you knew as much about Melee as you claim, you'd know that "Axe is the best Melee player (by far)" is a long-standing joke from Rishi
"video ends" *video doesn't actually ends because this beautiful creator has super generous patrons on patreon... if only this guy wasn't supported by a thriving comunity, the joke would have been so much more funny humpf !
thank you for showcasing bobby big ballz. Dude gets a bad rep for some mistakes a long time ago but he has really come around and I'm glad you can show it
The weirdest fucking thing about this "unrelated" spider man 3 intro of this video is that axe did exactly that bully maguire dance in the beginning of a currently 4-month old tdfw video, an interview with juggleguy at big house 10 🤯
I think one of my favorite things in the clips from tournaments is that whenever some bullshit jank, or disrespect happens you can almost always see both players laughing and smiling. Just having maximum fun. People get mad in other games when some glitch robs them. Its nice to just see people love a game so much, that even bullshit can't stop their fun.
I don't even play or know anything about smash but I still can't stop watching these videos because they're so pleasant, well-edited, and interesting Also your voice reminds me of pannenkoek which is cool

Sounds wack, yet normal
Oh ye, it's Melee
Well as pika you want the higher port anyway for ledge grab priority
This is especially important in Marth and sheik matchups if you want access to fthrow -> dair at the 90-110% range.
Vs sheik, you have to make the choice if you want that kill setup or if you want to escape the CG much earlier
smash was a mistake
@@jameskotel6387 that's wild
how the hell did he get falco in the background of onett
There's Peach too
He asked them nicely.
He put onett in the background of onett
I just realized the Falcon player is Ellie's brother
4:24 pre-kachu is a way better name than pichu if you ask me
Are melee stats and asumsaus on a schedule?
If you ever make a follow up, you should call it "Stranger Pikachu Things"
when dragon quest music kicks in
Falco can also downthrow threw the stage on battlefield
...You made some of those names up.. 🤔🤨😅
1:55 Peach and Falco walking in the background for no reason is why this is truly the best Melee channel
Holy shit I didn’t notice it, but yeah, details like these are what makes this channel stand out
His attention to detail is astounding
my favorite example of AsumSaus' attention to detail is the last video, when he wanted to be an "official RUclipsr", he put himself between Dream and Corpse, who are famous for not using cameras, then announced he got a camera, i love it
This is why I love AsumSaus
Or the constant use of doom sound effects
I can't believe he got these thoughts from watching Spiderman 3

Bully Maguire's crotch will do that.
@@LightsJusticeZ I suddenly feel the need to watch Spiderman 3 itself... for the plot obviously
Bad movies give bad ideas

Hey V, i mean asumsauce
@@ink3487 Mic- Falco here.
@@theshortestshirt6598 So just what IS.. a glitch..? * raises eyebrow *
hello ludvix
0:35 we can now put Yoshi up there
we can now put DK up there
This makes me even more impressed that Axe so consistently gets around Zain trying to edgeguard with down-tilt.
Zain practiced a lot against pikachu, specifically edgeguarding since they last met. Its looking grim for the rat.
Well axe does his sweetspots at a distance where the extended hitbox is harder to hit. It's actually pretty strict to hit pika out of it unless you're very practiced vs pika
You!

2:53 I can't stop laughing at how stretched pikachu looks lmao this is amazing
da stretchychu too powerful, big strongk
This canonically means pikachu can stretch his body paper thin and that it isn’t just an animation thing.
@@lordkaos31 Finally, the pancakes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate make sense.
PeepoWide but pikachu… so PikaWide
This man really interrupted his own voiceover when demonstrating IASA frames
Timestamp? Or am I just deaf
@@fluury listen close to when he says "before their" at 4:01
That is insane that you can hear that
@@purplwithnoe I don't get it.
@@tenslein8977 the voiceover was done in multiple takes and was accidentally overlayed over itself.
You know it’s a good day when AsumSaus uploads
You could say it's an asum day
And then the next 4 months are cold
I fear the next few months to come 😞
Starting the video with spiderman 3 is a power move.
"look at little Pikachu Jr... gonna cry?"

This video is a certified masterpiece. The story, the editing, the pacing --> All top notch! AsumSaus you are a special person.

i miss smash 4 pivot grabbing
it was stupid but really fun, and helped make a lot of characters with awful grabs actually have nice range on them

That Quick Attack quirk still exists in future entries.
Are you talking about the stretchy-chu or the momentum-chu?
@@nicocchi
Stretch. It's a little hard to notice, but Pikachu does stretch in future entries of SSB
@@DragoKirby But does the hitbox still stretch?

I thought pika didn’t have a tail hurtbox?
3:10 “Marth easy character? Well... yeah, but more accurately-”
lmao
What Spiderman 3 does to a MF
5:04 I absolutely ADORE how Pikachu goes "ₚᵢ" in the background when "(it p easy)" appears 😂
I really like the term “certified Marth moment”
I can't believe how good your editing has become. Your videos are insanely polished
tuun lonk

just checked that clip out. damn, that’s a crazy one too
@@AsumSaus Yeah, if I remember correctly that one is from a horizontal stretch compared to the BBB vertical stretch one!
Already giving a thumbs up for the Dragon Quest music.
Casino Calavera music got me hyped for the Weird Wavedash of the Day
I gave it a Like for the SiIvaGunner version of "Ballad Of The Windfish".
God the editing on this channel is so fantastic
LE's brother getting taunted on by Axe is hilarious.
True!
Wow this is so neat haha. The stretchy up-b is blowing my mind
Axe doing a taunt-cancel wavedaash in his face is just another reason why Axe is the GOAT. Maybe not the best player at winning majors, but just the best overall smash player of all time!
I mean he IS the best Melee player (by far)
@@ElectricFortune Not remotely true.
@@bgmarshall I mean, if you knew as much about Melee as you claim, you'd know that "Axe is the best Melee player (by far)" is a long-standing joke from Rishi
i feel like if every player changed to the samecharacter with the same amount of skill as on their old main, axe would be top 10 all time
And against elle's brother no less
great video samus
Its asumsaus
Awesome sauce
0:38 time to correct that shiiiet. Yoshi did it
Once again, asumsaus showing sickly how no characters in melee are broken in a Meta-Knight or Pokémon stadium way
Spider-man 3 and knuckles.
You consistently make enjoying content for a game I have never played keep it up man
Yea pikachu video always nice to see Asum cover another Character by it’s own in a video
I really wanna see stuff about Kirby imo.
Yoo, that’s Ellie’s brother getting sauced on by Axe!
At this point discovering every characters super wavedash should just be a fulltime job
"EASY CHARACTER!" Look if you main pikachu that's the mu where you're not allowed to complain lmao. He wouldn't have grabbed ledge any way.
@Covfefe! !! Yes but not against pikachu
@@Jarekthegamingdragon the guy who said that was playing marth
the marth was the one who said easy character
BobbyBigBallz was the Marth in that clip, not the Pikachu.
4:58 - 5:04 Dunno why, but I find the Pika-noises in this bit to be extra adorable for some reason.
*You'll get your rent when you fix this damn ECB!*

Return of the king!
I'm aware of the weird stretches pikachu does,I used to pause on it a million times when I was a kid,I thought the stretching was so funny XD
Wow, that team tech near the end reflecting the electric bolt to super dash off of it. Sick options for teams there.
your editing/productions/ideas are extremely well executed. cheers
And always remember! Love with your heart, use your head for everything else.
I thought of that too when I saw “debunk” in the title
The sheer dedication of this man to have so much attention to detail in each video is amazing
Ultimate has iasa frames on almost every taunt
Remenber that great line:
*"Hands off my C O C K"*
Can we all agree that Esam should go boxing ring?
Lfg yoshi aint N/A anymore fuck yeah
thank you for showcasing bobby big ballz. Dude gets a bad rep for some mistakes a long time ago but he has really come around and I'm glad you can show it
This is the coolest way to display frame data I've ever seen
I love love love your editing style, it's really the coolest. Also I legit feel like you know more about Melee than the developers did lol
I love how melee is such a broken game that 20 years later people are still discovering things
0:32 NOT ANYMORE BAYBYYYYY
Damn dude, you got me with "Prekachu" hahaha. Fun video, as always!
A clip of (awkward pause) Bobbybigballz
I'm calling Pichus "Prekachus" from now on. Also Raichus will now be "Postkachus".
Oh yeah it's always a good day when AsumSaus is uploading
The first 30 seconds of this video is a masterpiece
You know I'm insta-clicking a vid from the best Melee content creator on the platform

What a wild ride! Love amsa, great video
The only thing I think about when watching Spider-Man 3 is how could my life come to this
4:34 *Begone low-tier*
Would be fun to see a team use pikachu's swd effectively in a doubles tournament setting at least once.
I don't even play or know anything about smash but I still can't stop watching these videos because they're so pleasant, well-edited, and interesting
Also your voice reminds me of pannenkoek which is cool
This was very fun to watch. Thank you for the time it took to make this.
I really like how you mentioned that you were watching spiderman 3
The video wouldn't be as good if you didn't mention that
Gosh this video is already a year old? It felt like only a few months ago
4:44 WOAH SCHYTHED?? THATS ELLIE’S BROTHER
But now to compare Pikachu's super wavedash with Samus' superduper wavedash
I'm not a melee player. Can you do the super wave dash off Fox or Falco's lasers?
This is a certified Marth Classic!
Also, the only bad thing about these vids is that they end too soon.
never played smash in my life but i love these videos sm
Excellent choice on music for the last section. Grim Fandango!
Has anybody not realize this is emplemon or is this common knowledge
I’m happy you uploaded again! As an ultimate fan you’re making me enjoy watching Melee a ton
I love when my favorite youtuber Awesome Sauce uploads
I didn't know that Drake mained Pikachu
Does the Pika dash go farther than KBDHSMLing tho?
Dude I got done bingeing you like an hour ago and you pull out this lmao
A rat that moves quick.
Also who thought it was a good idea to make the hitboxes stretch with pikachu?
Is not a glitch
*proceeds to name every characteristic of a glitch*
Can't believe LEs brother got in an asumsaus video
How does this have anything to do with Spider-Man 3
BobbyBigBallz has some of the funniest reactions
Pikachu is a ghost Pokémon confirmed?
