Low tier legends are so appealing to me. It's insane how they can show their skill even at the highest level with such awful characters. I'd love to see one of these kinds of videos with Qerb (Melee's best G&W). Dude is actually nuts and so cool. Great video!
when i worked at an elementary school i talked to a 4th grader about ultimate, he said he knew RRR through online tournaments and talked about him like a god lol. full circle moment fr
I was fortunate enough to play with/against Triple R during the Smash 4 scene. He was always a good sport. His presence in the scene during that time for me is something that can't be replaced. Much appreciated lol
I feel it makes sense that someone like him would be a good sport. Gotta be exceptionally patient to play in some tough fights with top players and keep swinging.
This was my first out-of-state event, and I can even be seen in the crowd behind Triple R around the 7:30 mark. What a special memory and a great video! You even nailed the era-appropriate music for the Mundungu set! Well-done.
Yoooo this is fire! I love the low tier heros and this is great representation for triple r, someone I have always admired for sticking to Kirby. Great job!
The triple R tournaments I remembered most were Big house (esp dubs), combo breaker, and kings of the north 5. Thanks for showing me another legendary triple R moment
i have nerve damage in my right hand, and tendonitis in both hands. my only chance to keep playing smash games and do tournies is box controllers. i hope tripple r comes back on a fully custom built kirby themed rectangle controller.
I love videos like this!!! We need more videos that remember/highlight someone niche in the smash community who isn’t main stream or your average top 20 player. So many amazing stories of skill growth and upsets out there- ❤love a good underdog story
I think there was clearly some amazing changes to the youtube algorithm!!! This is a amazing quality video and YT definitely recognized that ❤ just found it on my recommended never heard of this guy before
Ever since i picked up this game kirby has always appealed to me. I have been playing for under a year and players like RRR inspire me to practice this game and it shows that every character has a chance for greatness. I'm only playing on Slippi unranked but eventually I would love to go to locals and carry on the kirby legacy.
I main kirby in ultimate(where hes also one of the worst characters) and its so gratifying seeing someone else main a character just to prove everyone wrong
At least in Ult even the low tiers are somewhat capable. Ganondorf seems to be the one exception and even then you can get some good matchups with him.
Kirby has a decent air game, his combo game is very specific but still fun and he has a copy ability multiplier. He’s more than capable of moving up the rankings a touch
If I’ve learned anything about Melee, as someone that knows very little about it, it’s that the key to beating Fox is literally to force him off the stage to a threshold that he can’t recover from (especially if you’re playing a lower tier character)
Also, fox is combo food due to high gravity and fall speed, so fox is probably the worst matchup for most low and bottom tiers, a player with him could easily make mistakes and get comboed to death
@@lapplandkun9273 which is exactly why I think low tiers aren’t hopeless in today’s meta And Kirby excels at edgeguarding in Melee, so if he gets Fox offstage, he will run him into the ground (or the blast zone, either works.)
@@Valentinesdayghost Exactly what I think that Fox is ironically most characters best and worst matchup in that his tools are broken but his own flaws are subject to getting exploited themselves.
@@lapplandkun9273 Exactly. Light weight, exploitable recovery, being outranged (I’m a Kirby main so stuff like back air and down tilt can actually outrange Fox,) can all be very easily exploited and single handedly make Fox look like not the best character It’s why in my opinion Marth is the best character in Melee, he doesn’t have any of the flaws Fox has, and no massive flaws that can allow certain characters able to outright deny him
@@Valentinesdayghost Oh, and then there's the fact that Kirby has an Aerial Side B (Giant Swing) that not only serves as a gimping tool, but is also A MULTI-HIT.
It makes me so happy that he prefers yellow Kirby (or Keeby lol). When I was growing up my friend had Kirby Airride, and whenever I would come over to play it I would be yellow, since that's the second player slot and I didn't know how to change it at the time. Yellow Kirby is kind of like the Luigi of the Kirby colors. I don't choose Kirby in Smash often, but when I do (usually when battling beginners or kids) I will still choose yellow!
There is a very simple explanation why it is more striking to see someone win with the worst characters than with the top tier. Because you see a top tier player win and you say "meh, I'm not surprised". But to see something like Kirby beating a Fox is unique. And it even shows a great skill in the game to be able to do it.
Man, I would have loved to see Triple R thrown hands with Hbox. That battle would have been legendary. Nice documentary though. I loved your editing style and the song choices used. Hope to see more from you!
See, now fox was really number 1 in melee, but was AWFUL off stage. Bro couldnt get back up if you kept knocking him down, or knocked him off far enough. His kit def made up for that weakness though.
tiers dont mean shit. I had a melee fest at a buddys place and the best player there was a Kirby main. Same can be said about the Socal Orange county rankings. We have a ganon and a game&watch in the top ten. Love the content and now do one on ganon

G&W is a mid tier tbh, hes so underrated (im extremely biased and a G&W main)
No matter how bad a character, the most important thing in a fighting game is the ability to read your opponent.
And if we don't know what we are doing, the enemy certainly can't anticipate our future actions!
The ultimate method to win
Know exactly what your enemy is doing while simultaneously having no idea what you're doing.

Mad respect from another Kirby main. He doesn't get enough love :(
Low tier, mid tier, bad, bottom, blah blah blah. He’s too fun and unique to pass up. Plus his down air is devious.
@@drewholmes7356 hehe up air go brrrrrrrrrr
In all seriousness though, tier lists exists only in one’s mind.
First out of state tourney I was apart of, this tournament was amazing. Thanks for reliving some of my favorite moments with the smash scene.
this guy should be placing in Smash 64 if he only plays Kirby
Kinda true but i think he is around 22nd in the list instead of 25

now how am i gonna find a video of this quality only posted 6 hours ago...... lovely stuff

Mid tier, so he's alright in ultimate.
Hes usable in ultimate. Hes definitely a lot better than melee kirby

Yellow Kirby is best Kirby, and Triple R is why. Love this guy! Thanks for the video on him, was great to learn more about him!

Truly it comes down to the player’s ability, not the character. Unless you wobble with ice climbers, that’s the exception
this is so wonderfully edited
Thanks homie! Took a lot of time to edit this video loll but it was fun :)
*sniff*
This makes me so proud as a Kirby main
Cool video. I do definitely think that Kirby is not the worst character. It’s probably bowser.
It's kinda crazy that they put Mew Tew as the worst character back then when we have Leffen proving he's lower mid at least.
As a Kirby main, I salute Triple R for proving Melee Kirby can be played at a top level.
Man I love your Melee videos
Never use a tier list as your means of maining a character
This was an amazing video bro!
Good or bad character, not everyone needs Meta to win. Guy plays Kirby because he loves the character
The best is not the one who does the best and wins
But the one who does the worst and still wins
If only he beat Mew2King 😢
It would've been legendary
Hack beat ice’s marth in tournament with kirby and made him quit marth.
Respect the Swedish... unless its Leffen.
Love all the small attention to editing, it really makes this video feel intresting, personable, and professional. Good content +Ratio

the realest Kirby fan
Sakurai really murdered his child in Melee like damn

Nice documentary though. I loved your editing style and the song choices used. Hope to see more from you!
Awesome melee tubers keep popping up like rabbits now, seen like 8 new awesome channels covering melee this month, all with super small subcounts.
Awesome video showcasing a legend that no one talks much about anymore! Anyone who wants more Kirby can watch Captain Pretzel now a days btw!!
Dude nice video~ you deserve more recognition XP
I could've went pro with my Kirby. But honestly I don't need that kind of status. I just know I definitely could've done just fine.
mew2king is the first guy that found the super smash bros (all of them) frames as you see nowadays in ssbu
Great retrospect on Triple R!
The only Kirby who could do it
Nice Video!
looks like young Nathan Fielder
usually being a low tier main is just cause welp, theyre my best character, guess ill main em
The REAL low tier god
this is amazing! keep the amazing content
That game 1 of the M2K match does not look like it ends with an SD. It kinda looks like M2K footstools Triple R.
Banger video
what about Captain Pretzel nerd
My hero and example to follow
Hopefully one day captain pretzel will rise the ranks himself.
nice vid lil homie! hope you're doing well!
This video is shocking good.
Great work, great content.
This is fuego
The Power of Poyo will live on Forever!!
Great video. Just want to add, I thought he picked up marth as a secondary, unless I'm mistaken him for a marth main who had a decent kirby
RRR is only known to play kirby as fair as ik

7:59 ayo?
amazing content keep it up!
Kirby been my main since the start
Triple R is awesome!
OMG THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME! How does this has so little views?
I need lessons from triple r. I see his reasoning and actually also main Kirby.
Yo, Lil Homie, any chance you used to play brawl under the tag young chizzy? Like 2010
ay yo do'n be clammin on my man hbox
awesome video ^^

Kirby is fun af in ultimate

Hope you get more subs !
Bro I need a link to use the music you put in the video, great selection
It also is something i can use in my new video
sick video :3
Why does the Kirby in the thumbnail look like a ducks head?
Honestly, mid to low tier are usually way more fun to play. Imo
captain pretzel is definitely the all time best melee kirby
I love how triple R was seeded above this guy 😂😂😂
How did you recreate the footage?
Kirby, my favorite bottom tier ❤️
epic
Whyd they scream mango when m2k won😂
Sup lil homie minnesota legend
Do you play online?
