  • XD bombsoldier sure knows how to spam

  • I like Final Destination. It's flat and simple. It gives the players no place to run. Straight-up Face-2-Face brawl!

  • @jimiisama

    Okay, sure, I challenge you to a game of Battalion Wars 2. I choose the map and I choose Destroy All Tundrans. And I will play as the Xylvanians, no questions asked. Decline and you lose.

    Seriously, you think winning is everything?

  • @oneunderall

    So now your 4YO sister can "beat" me.

    What the hell is that shit?

  • @Roew

    People probably want to do tournaments with familiar characters.

    But I do agree on one thing: Smashboards consists of douchebags.

  • Smash Bros = bunch of Nintendo characters slugging it out against each other.

    Yep, that's a fighting game. It's a very rudimentary one, but it's still a fighting game.

  • @Gazdakka

    whats your idea of a fighting game thats not rudimentary than?

  • @matzoball101 One that involves more layers than a few attack buttons and special moves, and can be placed fairly into a tournament.

    Melee did a good job. I didn't much like the cancelling, but it was one of those extra layers needed to give the game a more complex edge. Then Brawl took all of that away and added random tripping.

  • Oh PEOPLE! Urgent News! I just got word that Street Fighter, Tekken, and Soul Calibur aren't fighting games! No! Not even Marvel vs Capcom! Nope! Nothing like that! No fighting! They're PARTY GAMES! Just saying it out loud for mr octanedriver25 who says melee isn't a fighting game either!

  • Why are people arguing about this on a 5 year old vid?

  • y'all are wack. ssbm is built to be a party game but became a fighting game because of the advancement of tech skills, aggression, etc. that came with players figuring things out. Btw, this video makes me hate marth even more

  • @octanedriver25 Dude, melee is a fighting game, not a party game.

  • lol ken is ken!!

  • "Neega" plz was what Marth was saying at the end of the match.

  • lol @ the 10 year olds pretending melee is a fighting game

  • @octanedriver25 what is it then.

  • @Gordaton A party game obviously. Derp Derp

  • @octanedriver25 once you get into those advanced techniques, the game can get pretty hard. Just because there's items and theres no vitality meter doesn't mean it's not a fighting game.

  • @Gordaton The advanced techniques arent even relevant since even the developers of the game said it was supposed to be a party game.

  • @octanedriver25 even if they arent relevant they are still used. even if they werent purposely implemented they were still found out and abused. its still a fighting game on advanced player lvls. maybe a party game to you.

  • @octanedriver25 because it is YAH DUMBASS!

  • @octanedriver25 how is melee not a fighting game :O ???? i believe like 90% of the time the goal of melee is fighting. Thats like saying starcraft2 isn't an rts game it's a party game, because of it's multi online functionallity .......... you should really get your eyes fixed

  • @hamoudi25 You seem to be a bit slow so I'll explain it to you with a simple rhetorical question. Is Final Fantasy a fighting game? After all, it does have characters "fighting" each other. So by your flawed logic, it should be a fighting game right? Idiot....

  • @octanedriver25

    yes but ff is story oriented

    with ssbm you pick a character your opponent picks a character

    you go to a stage and you fight til the winner is decided

    THATS a fighting game

  • @octanedriver25 Lol, how is my logic flawed? The controls of final fantasy is a turn based style of fighting, that is the reason it doesn't belong into the fighting category. Since you know so much, what attributes does a fighting game need to have before it goes into that category?

    Think before you make statement about something.

  • @hamoudi25 well, if we are to follow the man's logic, we could end up saying Marvel vs Capcom isn't a fighting game right? Just saying

  • lol @ people who think they know melee

  • honestly what makes ken so good is that he learns AS the battle goes on he started to figure out some of BS techniques and he learns them so quickly its a skill that makes him truly one of if not the greatest smasher of all time. And yeah he is in the ssb hall of fame and i think he is ranked as the greatest melee player of all time with isai being the greatest at N64 and brawl being undecided because play is still fresh and ongoing, not that melee isn't as well.

  • @bobywade517 he played like a dozen matches against him already in which he used all of the same combo's. It's not like he had only 10 seconds to react to it...

  • @PrettyLittleAnna true true

  • Comment removed

  • falco should have won, marth just decided to be a bitch and spam grab

  • @itsmadswag I don't see you complaining that Falco spammed laser. What's the difference?

  • @itsmadswag you can escape spam grabs, ken just had better placement. Don't be a little whining cunt.

  • @ChickenIntestines

    You can't escape, you can avoid them.

  • dayum, i thought falco had that wrapped up lol

  • @LordGlacius90 yea exactly my thoughts :P

  • My favorite part about watching melee is when I look at the clock for 2 seconds, then when I look back at the video the match has changed completely.

  • ken just went to chain grab mode after 2 rounds ):

  • Is it against the rules to pick someone up with DK, and carry them off the edge if you have more lives? :P

  • @CodCats

    No. Do this at the next tournament you play at. You will win for sure.

  • @MastodonRockss yaaay :D

  • Any one out there who still plays ssbm an  wants an ass whopping just let me know, an will set it up asap....

  • @Mrskild1 Ill take you on!... uh...howre we gonna pull this off?

  • @sharcblazer99 first off were do you live

  • @Mrskild1 Uhm I wuz thinking emulators. because I can use my custom controllers... Sorry for the long wait I have been gone.

  • @Mrskild1 lol i would crush you

  • I like the Tank looking symbol they use in the name for Final Destination

  • strategy, skill, placement, reaction speed, sexy

    those are the words I would chose if asked to describe this game and these players. especially ken...boner

  • Chain grabbing's obnoxious, but no more obnoxious than edge hogging, or really anything used in tournaments.

  • isn't Ken that marth player guy?

  • im beast at this game, like super good with fox. and i wanna go to a tournament or competition, can anyone help me out? i live in northwest florida.

  • @xXDarkStarGXx go check out smashboards com, if there's any tournaments near you i bet they'd have a post on there.

  • @exorthesword thank you!

  • Wow I commend you ken for making the ultamate comeback but Faldo had that one but both of you guys fighting ROCKED!!!!!!!!

  • i dont remember melee being this fast! i guess i played to much brawl =/

  • @Svvaggalikemine Actually, Brawl is not capable of some techniques that Melee has. Like SHFFLing for example. Both are great games, but Melee can be faster if you train hard enough.

  • upset

  • Great match, both Bomb and Ken are awesome players.

  • damn, that falco was gettin off for a minute. i'm surprised i've never heard of bombsoldier, considering how well he played in this video.

  • towards the end it seemed like ken was like "okay, time to end this!" cuz... that's what he did n_n

  • Now this is what I call an exciting match! :D

    They were so even.

  • waveshine ?? :p

  • Is BombSoldier the fastest Falco player?

  • @lonewander3931 no its me (or Dr peepee) haha

  • i'm not saying i could beat them but i'd like to see how i do against them

    i play with captain falcon

  • The bombsoldier guy is a legit pro

  • wtf.. bomb soldier... my hero.. ! best falco i've ever seen..

  • @Pufflicious u have seen nothing then...

  • @Pufflicious yeah, thats not impressive now lol

  • Ya refer to Ken as "The previous world champion of melee''.

  • @tristan2177 THAT MARTH PLAYER

    WUT

  • Grab-grab-fsmash

  • Everyone was so bad back then.....

  • Marth and Roy were always my favorites, in my favorite SSB game here.

  • @boettcherownzu mine too. They were the two characters I really excelled at, marth defensively, and falco aggresively.

  • falco will allways be the best

  • Ken... the Marth that started it all...

  • ken is Marth, as Isai is to falcon.

  • I never really thought ssb could be played professionally. Little did I know ....

    lol

    I still make vids of when I play ssbm. it's just not the pro way. it's the casual kind of play.

  • I Hate how Ken Chain Grabs...Bombsoiler is just EPICCC

  • Everyone that comes through here needs to watch shiz vs falcomist. This is a great video to watch as a history lesson but the play is outdated.

  • @be1know1 would be better if u put the link instead of the names

  • 5 years later, and still one of the best sets I've seen.

  • lol so many noobs/brawl faggots still commenting this video haha

  • Comment removed

  • Ken worked really hard for this taunt

  • @TheDJAB reaaaaaaally hard

  • this is like brawl on crack!

  • Also, the way Bombsoldier took Ken's third stock was almost Ken Combo like... battered him to the side of the stage and then spiked him, but with Falco.

  • Can anyone tell me why 5 out of the 6 rounds were on Final Destination? After the third match, they both had a win on that stage, so wouldn't Dave's Stupid Rule strike that stage from being selected?

  • @DWiens421 japanese rules are different.. only legal stages are dreamland and fd

  • @SN3AK8288 Fair... it's weird that Fountain of Dreams, Yoshi's Story and Battlefield are banned.

    Other than FD, the only other stage that has nothing that changes about it regardless is Battlefield... I guess maybe the inconsistent platforms is the reason it's banned?

  • i'm almost disappointed by ken this round. I don't think i even saw a fthrow to fsmash or even the start of a ken combo. He basically got any hits he could get. Truth to be told, i mained marth, and i think i could probably do a little better than that if i were him. Bombsoldier's falco is still something to remember, I saw most of the movement and skill from him.

  • The only reason tournament players like Melee better is because Brawl fixed falling speeds, wavedashing, and cancels.

  • @TragicMime And brawl has tripping.

  • @TragicMime why "fix" its not a bug, its a feature!!11 ._.

  • Lol at lame chain throw spamming. Comboing together a bunch of different attacks takes way more coordination than just exploiting how your character can grab him before the other guy can recover every time.

  • Chain throws take more skill than you think. It's all mental. I would rather root for bombsoldier than ken any day of the week, but he was way too predictable the second half of the match, which allowed ken to get some good chain grabs on him. The chain throws were barely even the reason why he lost.

  • @MastodonRockss Smartest comment I've read. That first half bombsoldier was completely flawless, unpredictable movements aligned with combos, you'd have to have luck to beat that, and that goes for anybody.

  • 2:31 through 2:37..total pawnage!

  • yeah and wen they come out with a new SSB thee rest of the world will be playing that too dosent make it bettr though

  • Comment removed

  • @noskillzzs lol wtf, you're just retarded, you can find 2k8 and 2k9 tourny vids.

  • i miss melee falco :(

  • Lol theres always gonna be haters on Marth and Roy. Tbh I'm a Link Player, but I play Marth as a secondary. I think people are jealous of Marths badassnes.

  • Marth needed counters and an edge hog to win. Not to mention marth has an arm to grab someone 3 feet in front of him.

  • @pengywengyman Falco did an edge hog for a death too... It's a valid strategy.

  • In my book falco won this one. Marth just had to be a bitch with the chain grabbing to get his win. Pathetic.

  • @sk8adio42 KEN is pathetic! Doesn't it sound... wrong?

  • @sk8adio42 In that case, falco is pathetic with his pillaring skills? Get out. Nothing's pathetic. It's just you shitheads that think using the same attack over and over again is pathetic. A win is a win after all.

  • @kandayo123 It is pathetic you dumbass. He won with z-up over and over again.

  • @sk8adio42 You go try and chainthrow bombsoldier and tell me how that goes. Marth's chainthrow on Falco does about the same amount of damage, on average, as Falco's combos on Marth. Falco's combos are just 3-5 hits while Marth's are 6-8. I think Falco may actually be at the advantage, since a shffled aerial -> shine (Falco's combo starter) is arguably safer than attempting a grab (Marth's combo starter). Overall, this matchup is pretty damn even, and Ken won because, as usual, he's better.

  • @AnzaBrush chain throws are lame.

  • @er124656

    chain throws are part of the game just like combos.

  • @aznseal your point is?

  • @sk8adio42 If you think it's so easy to be able to use z-up over and over again, why don't you try and enter a tournament and win $50,000? It's easy right? Anyone can do it. It takes no skill whatsoever.

  • @sk8adio42 In a tournament, you don't worry about style or courtesies. You don't worry about what your opponent will think about once it's over. You fight to WIN. That was the point of him chain throwing. Ken realized that his % was much higher than BombSoldier's so he used a method that would ensure a fight that he was more likely to win.

  • @sk8adio42 Yes, z-up, followed by tech chasing, DI reading, consistent timing, planning and perfect execution...and getting a grab on Bombsoldier. Why don't you do it, post a video and then come back and talk shit? Or you could just let the rest of us enjoy the match in peace.

  • marth's grabbing range is fucking rediculous in melee

  • Love this game :D and I'm proud to say i can whip the average player's ass with every character on melee

  • marth is a grabbing pussy

  • @ExcitingThunda Dam, that guy using marth won a whole lotta money just using that PUSSY ASS MARTH. Don't be jealous.

  • falco knows his shit :o and anyone who plays marth/roy is just a pussy. gf.

    and 'hmskl69'... english please..?

  • @Kranatonos That's why the pussy using marth won over 50grand just using his marth. Daaaaaaaaaaaaam, that marth player is a pussy. SIKE. It's Ken. Him and Isai, no explanation required.

  • brawl fukn suks compared 2 dis game this one has a way bettr fighting style fast paste iz so much bettr.... i play this one still ovr brawl.... hmskl69

  • its ovious that bs was better than ken at this tournament ken only win for the chaingrab

  • Ken can chain grab and invented a few of his own combos to win a tournament. But can you sobs who say chain grabbing is cheap win anything? If it's part of the game, it's pretty much 'LEGIT.'

  • @kandayo123 so (just puttin it out there) mk's infinte cape is legit?

  • no its not, infi cape lets all hitboxex pass through, chain grabs can be DIed away and cannot be done forever.

  • @rkyle29 i was being sarcastic >_>, i know its not legit, i was tryin to make a point that even if its in the game or a part of the game, its not always legit

  • @rkyle29 im just sayin, kandayo said that if its part of the game then its legit, so im makeing my point that not everything thats in a game is legit. stopped playing smash a while ago, trying to get back into it but theres no one to play now. i stopped usein AiB so if u wanna brawl me then just contact me through youtube. i can also put vidoes online so ima make a b4 and after thing with eveyone i play. (very late response O.O)

  • damn, this is so much better than Brawl.

  • ssbb ally vs m2k is far more enjoyable, not sure why all these nerds say brawl sucks. mustve never tried it competitively. sure less combos and u cant wavedash (which i only saw once in this video and it led to soldier getting hit. which leaves me to believe its not as important as some of u think) but still a very fun game

  • @noskillzzs You only saw them wave dash once, you mustve been blind for most of the video or you dont really know what wave dashing is

  • @DavidSchleigh oh ur right, nvm

  • @DavidSchleigh

    I second that. :>

    Probably both blind and no knowledge of what wavedashing is.

  • OMG GUYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CHAIN GRABBING U SOAB'S.

    as the matter of fact in brawl falco is much more anoying at chain grabbing then marth so stfu -.-

  • he came back from a 90% defecit. sweet jesus...

  • @Str8Murked lol tang vs lunin. came back from a 3 stock, 100+% defecit :D Ken is Legit though, his mingames are amazing.

  • Right down to the wire. Amazing series.

  • i love how people complain about his chain grabs. i think its tough enough as it is having to deal with the lasers, and bombsoldier is a great sniper. simply put, ken won. deal with it, hes the better player. oh, and btw, BS is my hero. not ken.

  • You should not refer to Ken as "that marth player"

  • The way that Marth player plays...it annoys me. There's just something about it.

  • MARTH IS A BEAST! :D always been my fave character XD too bad they didnt keep the exact same gameplay when they made SSBB... ): they made SSBB way too party friendly

  • how can the falco player use the shine after an up-B attack?

  • @marqoo90 I think that is called waveland or L-Cancel when he fall on the ground than used the shine

  • @xX5Rafael5Xx is not l cancel...the atack over his lag just

  • @marqoo90 the attack over his lag

  • That chain grab is kinda cheating...

    Falco won in my books.

  • GO MARTH :D

  • Is Mango white?

  • i love how marth only wins because of that chain grab in 4/6 matches.

  • @llShotzII Yea of course right !?! I mean how could he do whatever it takes to win in a tournament, curse him.

  • wow best SSBM match I have ever seen!

  • for 3 minutes i thought falco was going to win. but at the end i realized that marth's just too OP and easy to play to ever lose a match..

  • @Diontjuhz because is ken...the best player in the history...he can back to you a figth than can see win XD

  • omg thought falco was actually gonna win

  • who won!!?!!?!

  • The momentum swings are amazing. One player is always destroying the other and then something happens and they switch roles immediately. +2 thumbs up

  • 2:30 - 2:37 so beautiful ^_^

  • @Siriex like 10 attacks in under 10 seconds. *drools*

  • Melee requires much more tech skill and aggression.

    Brawl requires insane knowledge of every matchup. Every move's range, knockback, startup frames, ending frames. Everything.

    Although I find brawl a good game, Melee will always be more entertaining to me.

  • @Toesrus I agree with the tech skill in Melee, like if you saw Bombsoldier doing that thing where he pops right back up after he is knocked down, I think that's a tech, but anyways that takes insane amount of skill to consistently pull that off.

  • @Toesrus Don't forget about the major importance of DI and Momentum Canceling in Brawl.

  • @Toesrus

    Lol these data are as important in Melee than in Brawl, top pro players know about everything about their character and the matchups they commonly have to face. Melee isn't all about mindless aggression and techskill, it's a lot about placement, mindgames and frame data too. Just look Ken's Marth above lol, he's not what I call a techskilled aggressive player (mostly because of his character).

  • @Toesrus Actually, I have found that melee also relies heavily on these kinds of match ups. I am sure that Brawl is more intensive, though.

  • @Toesrus Melee requires just as much knowledge on match ups as Brawl. The only difference is that Brawl has less tech skill involved but don't get me wrong, Brawl is still a very enjoyable game.

  • @Toesrus I've been trying to post your last sentence, or similar to other videos, such as Brawl sucks. I think my version was, "Brawl doesn't suck. It's a good game. Melee is just better."

  • This game had so many gliches in it not even funny kinda glad they did fix most of them in brawl lol xD

  • there are a lot more glitches in brawl....

    there aren't really any glitches in melee

  • u mean there was so much skill required to play this game that its not even funny... and you're glad they fixed that in brawl.. no skills needed

  • @scenario1 Lol not really just its gliches even Nintendo admited to it I dont play brawl eather so dosent matter to me fyi idc :3

  • oh, sorry my mistake. :) can you reccomend me any recent vid's of ken playing

    What do you mean sloppy nowadays, this is footage from a tournament from FIVE years ago.
