    Bro's been consistently beating top 10 P+ players too. Dude literally only loses to like Rongunshu, Lunchables, Malachi, etc... Bro has gotten second at major P+ tournaments with Samus, an arguable bottom 5 character in that game.

    • @pyrusvincent1029
      @pyrusvincent1029 9 месяцев назад +59

      It's not so much that Samus is bad in PM - icemode is okay, and midair charges are nice... but she still has all her normal Meleeisms that make her mid tier here.

    • @toolbar12423
      @toolbar12423 9 месяцев назад +42

      @Stupidiusity its debatable that shes bottom 5. Shes probably bottom 10 for me because she just has a lot of bad matchups in P+, including the normal melee ones. Shes very much usable like most P+ characters and is clearly shown to be able to be solo mained at a high level.

    • @Sonick92
      @Sonick92 9 месяцев назад +7

      ​@@toolbar12423I'd like to see a more concerted effort on making a p+ tier list. Samus buffs greatly help where she's bad on the melee meta, but buffs on the higher tiers make her match ups very volatile. Basically if you can't get mids/heavy weights in the air and push them off stage, then you won't do well with Samus.

    • @toolbar12423
      @toolbar12423 9 месяцев назад +8

      @vwtdi1579 its just really difficult due to the matchup spread and inconsistent use. Characters like Meta Knight, Ice Climbers, Donkey Kong, Lucario, and Wolf are all agreed to be good and possibly top 5, but will lose to random lower tier matchups or wont have any top 10 player representation. Having a definitive, majority agreed upon P+ tier list is just close to impossible.

    • @nahometesfay1112
      @nahometesfay1112 9 месяцев назад +64

      Some of the nuance was lost in this short. Morsecode doesn't have any top 20 wins aside from Cody and Jmook. Morsecode is also ranked fourth in Michigan behind players that generally wouldn't be seen as top 20. On the other hand all of those players would have benefited from higher major attendance.

    • @Rpodnee

      This isn't proof of that at all. Morse is great but he's never even gotten top 8 at a major. What makes the GOATS who they are is their consistent dominance over a long time, not one off impressive wins a couple times a year.

      You can say that about any competitive thing. There could have been faster horses than secretariat, better basket ball players than MJ, better anyone’s at anything compared to the “best” at X thing who actually proved it, but not only does that lead to fruitless discussion, but it’s unlikely anyways. Knowledge builds off of itself and thus a community’s body of knowledge and competency is probably going to be greater than what any rag tag could do on their own. A samus causing 2 upsets and nothing else doesn’t really change that, I mean Morse was so lowly seeded at BH11 in the first place for a reason.

  • @jtnachos16
    @jtnachos16 2 месяца назад +3

    I'mma be blunt, in any given game, there are a LOT of casuals who can give the top pros a run for their money. They just aren't super interested in being 'pros' or in some other cases, don't have the TIME to practice to dial in the consistency needed to be a 'pro'. The 'pro' scene is a narrow slice of the playerbase and often consists of people with varying levels of access that others might not have. Literally, your high school having an esports club can be the difference between getting a shot at pro leagues and being relegated to pub stomper extraordinaire.
    You actually see it fairly frequently in FPS games in particular, where good 'pro' players get roflstomped by a random pubbie when they are taken out of the regimented team environment and placed in the environment of chaos that is 2 teams of 4 randos who have never seen each other before that match, and aren't on comms. They are different skillsets. Sure, you get players who rule both environments, but you have far more who have that limited skillset that comes from not being able to do it as a full-time job. Or from it becoming a full-time job, and them not playing organically any more because of it.
    You see it in fighting games too, where occasionally a REALLY good player who does well in competitions will run into some total rando unknown who bodies them 5-0 and then disappears into the ether.

      I like them! I’ve been using them pretty much exclusively since getting the deal but I wouldn’t say they’re extraordinarily higher quality than other brands if you want my honest review!

    Yeah… I think it’s not popular enough of a competition to really know the true rankings of competitors generally speaking nor to have the potential best of the best involved in competition.
    Like most major league sports in the early days this isn’t wide spread enough. Take, idk, American football for example. The pay given to the players to play in the NFL in its early days was to the extent that the players all had “real jobs” cause football was basically just a fun hobby that paid for itself and a little extra cash after that (at a pro level).
    Later on after the merger and during the Super Bowl era you COULD make enough money in the league to be able to focus solely on playing a children’s game for a living… buuuuut, only if you were really really good at it.
    Then it grew in popularity enough that pretty much every school in the nation has it as a team sport (generating even more interest) and the lowest paid players in this meaningless competition are being paid absurd sums of money leaving them very well off and there are various ways to get paid enough to make a living off this silly competition that’s ultimately meaningless.
    Smash isnt there yet and I doubt Melee is ever going to get there (mainly due to Nintendo). But fighting games in general seem to be at that second point (especially games like SF) where you don’t have to be the absolute best to make a living, the top of the pile are making absurd amounts, and people who’re in maybe in the top 80% of players don’t need to have another source of income and can make a living from what’s ultimately a silly waste of time.
    In the early days of the MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL those weren’t the best players and often times colleges had the best players. Cause they had the free time to spend playing sports and didn’t have to worry about things like paying rent and going to work. So the better players fucked off after they graduated college to go and make money.
    The only way Melee is ever going to have the best of the best is if Nintendo stops being hyper douchey and starts supporting the game as a competition. Like what Capcom does for Street Fighter. Aaaaaaaaaaand that’s never going to happen, unfortunately, so you’re going to keep having anomalies like this where it’s someone who COULD be significantly better than what you’ve seen but you’ll probably never know cause there’s too little reward and too much risk for them to care about it over something else like chilling in MI and working on whatever else it is they have going on in life.
