Brawl Edgeguarding Kinda Sucks

.
.
Sorry I was gone for so long! I was getting edgeguarded by Metaknight & finally made it back to the stage. Speaking of which - why does edgeguarding feel so odd in Brawl? Metaknight is a big part of it, but not ALL of it. Join me today as I jump into some of the nitty gritty about how, and why, Brawl’s edgeguarding feels so different compared to Melee.

the correct answer to "how to edge guard meta knight" is actually "why are you not playing meta knight yourself"

[liamdoesmath]

Can’t wait to watch this again on Coney’s channel

[BaronSterling]

To be clear, the volleyball thing is definitively where the term "spike" comes from. There's no secret lore or "lost to time" aspects of it - the act of slamming something downward is simply called "spiking." It's not exclusive to Volleyball either, when Football players slam the ball down in celebration it's also called spiking the ball.

Legend says that Coney still loves that one perfect Dedede recovery he did on the Smashvile platform

[Pan_Z]

Wolf having "default" attributes because of time constraints isn't unfounded. G&W in Melee shares multiple traits with Mario due to the rushed development.

[RufioTheThird]

That lie (sorta) about Wolf is such Coney bait lmao

[Driff]

Reading out loud "Sm4sh" literally has got to be the best running gag on this channel

[babb-hexcolor]

He hates Meta Knight so much he grew another Arm 11:38

[imESAM]

oh no you showed esam with hair oh god

[alb]

you said "you can cancel your ent appointment" while I was literally sitting waiting for a doctor at an ent appointment wtf skunch

[torifort]

5:55 I was not expecting a Metaphor joke in this video, but its a great one lmao

[Mullkaw]

2:17 fun fact about the nipple spike is that the launch angle discrepancy between different parts of falcon dair also existed in smash 64 which predates meteor smash canceling

[MrCheese]

Meta Knight: “It’s over Wolf, I have the high ground!”


Wolf: “Awooh!” “Game!”

[Nick_Pixels]

You got me very excited for the eventual Wolf video! Wolf was my day 1 main in Ultimate, but I'll admit I never played Wolf seriously in Brawl (I was a child and I played Ike only lol). Excited to see how he compares to his Ultimate counterpart, and what kind of Brawl jank he might've been blessed or cursed with lol

Wolfs Meteor Cancel being so bad he always gets out of hitstun before it is so funny to me

[burboyIsweartogod]

5:41 I actually have an appointment for tomorrow, this winter has been especially brutal for my sinuses, but thanks for letting me I can cancel, BT

[McCnr]

The ending segment was not a sponsorship. But with that knife, it was a threat...

[AndrewAJT]

In Melee you don't meteor cancel *within* the 8 frame window, you can meteor cancel at any time *after* the 8 frame window. If you try to meteor cancel within the first 8 frames it won't work. But 8 frames is very quick, and you can effectively meteor cancel almost instantly after getting hit (quick enough that Puff can actually meteor cancel into rest vs the attacker)

The most cursed thing about this video was seeing esam with hair

[baddealdude]

This might be the first time when coneys “I hate this guy bit” is genuine
