PewPewUniversity: Melee is played on the Z-Axis!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CONCEPT!!!!!!!

It's commonly known that Melee operates on the X-axis and Y-axis. This is simple demonstration to expose minute instances in the game where the Z-axis is at play.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Shoutout to Hugs for showing me this about two years ago!

And lastly, thank you for the 50k followers on Twitter 😍 Love you guys 😍

Sick video Kev! Another example of the Z-axis in Melee is that Fox's down tilt comes out on frame 7, but it comes out on the Z-axis. It won't come out in front of him until frame 8!

[calumfoster-bayliss]

mind blown. wtf. all the little details programmed into this game. It's boggling.

2:35 first of all the z-axis exists, and third, how to manipulate it. 1 --> 3.
But In all seriousness I love you Kevin <3

It's okay, we know how badly you wanted to show that Marth up smash couldn't hit falcon through dreamland platforms :'(

[anthonyrodriguez]

Dude, this blew my mind!!! And you brought it to my attention that I knew about this without even realizing! If you pick mewtwo and use his spot dodge I would like to believe it also works on the z-axis! Awesome vid and concept man!

If you have questions go ahead and leave a comment :)

Thought you were going to demonstrate Yoshi's incredible z axis dash grab

[MaligNyant]

Another great lesson! Love your method of explaining things and really enjoy all the lessons you give.

Another example of Z axis shenanigans (tho very rare)Marth can standing grab a crouching jiggs, she has an idle animation while crouching and sometimes her plum is infront of her, it makes her a tiny bit taller

[thomasslotboom]

Pretty sure the marth usmash not hitting falcon on dreamland plat has nothing to do with the z axis, marth usmash just has a chode hitbox

[balo]

Marth grab is also in the z axis slightly

[counterpicky]

Man I'm sat here wondering how many (accidental) up smashes I've missed as a result of this -.-

Also, cloudburst, phenomenal tune, your stream always has the best music dude!

[AbruptAvalanche]

The Marth upsmash is just because the hitbox doesn't extend to the tip of his sword, not any z-axis shenanigans.

[ProjectKnee]

Pretty sure the U smash demonstration on Falcon is just because of Falcon not having feet hurtboxes lol. These scenarios are more common then you may think vs him, I remember seeing Duck complain about not being able to .. Utilt? I think it was when a Falcon is on a platform above her (I think BF) lol

[zanzabo]

Actually, with that last one, it's because the hit box on Marth's sword with his up smash doesn't take up the entire sword. The tip of his up smash is missing and the hit box actually comes out a little lower that the tip. A gif of his up smash is in this link.

[Rynopb]

next smash game will be a 3d playform fighter like tekken on steroids.

[jaggs]

Funny it's usually a common misconception that mr game and watch is flat model in Melee but actually hes a 3-D model just like everyone else 2:19

[BuckFitchesThe]

Falcon's upsmash dodges falco lasers on the z axis

[ThePharphis]

These are good examples (except falcon where you're unsure) but it would have been even better if you had hitboxes and hurtboxes toggled to really show what is happening.

Yoshi's dash grab is another great example, again with hitboxes on
