This new Melee tech might need to be banned.

MELEE MOMENT #10: gwm vs Plup

Last year, in Rona Rumble West #20, gwm pulled out some never-before-seen tech in his match against Plup. It was... very different. Let's take a closer look.

i invented this in my basement in 2009

My god... that Fox isn't edgeguarding, he's just edging

[Antifrost]

Ultimate Falco players invented the "Hands off my CAWK" technique, and now we have Melee Fox players innovating with a more hands-on approach

[DragonSoulMusic]

I mean, might as well do SOMETHING while Samus takes 10-15 business days to recover

Furious wanking into Up-Smash is a true combo

[CinnaMK]

Ok, this is actual gold. We need a moment like this in top 8 at a major

[herobrineharry]

0:32 Yoshi cannot yank it. No wonder he commits so much tax fraud

[theseventhmelon]

Only a true master of baiting could hope to perfect this technique...

[michaelfradley]

These just keep getting better, man - I know this one was silly, but the fact you used it to talk about the idea of shield angling improving frame advantage is awesome. Learned something new!

Falco: Personally I jerk on the edge
Fox: Landblaster

2:05 asuka in the hospital when she wakes up and sees shinji

[RoRo]

I never would have thought that someone Pulling their Pud on Plup could be turned into an educational video about shields in melee

[quinndepatten]

Greg may have invented it in 2009, but it was popularized by Dark "DSP" Side Phil on a stream. He managed to pull this off with a forward facing angle though, so it wasnt as ambiguous.

I practice this technique every night to stay on top of my game

[EasterDude]

What do we call this new tech? Shield jerking? Milking the fox?? Lightjilling???

[YoshiTheOreo]

The opponent can't recover if the edge is sticky.

I don't know how this channel continues to exclusively use music I listen to on a daily basis, but I am here for it. Please continue reading my mind.

[ARavingLobster]

You know, when I saw the "Ambiguous hand positioning" clip in the trailer for this season, this is absolutely not what I expected it to turn out to be.

Instead it has exceeded my expectations in every way.

[emmbeesea]

The best part was that Plup still handedly won the set. 😆

[michaelfradley]

Greg definitely did first invent a technique that involved sus hand movements, and Fox McCloud, but it wasn't this one.

[rafaelarevalo]

this honestly might be my favorite one so far. very high level stuff. wondering if we will ever see this at a national? cheers
