Listening to you describe the 11 frames saved from clipping through the ground is like that scene in Initial D where a racer gets their wheels in a gutter to take a corner like a railcar without brakes

Question: You said there’s a very minimal chance of Peach pulling a beam sword. How would moderators ensure that players don’t use a modded version of the game to guarantee a beam sword pull? Just curious, if any Melee experts could explain I’d appreciate it.

Hi salt I'm really excited to get a VHS. Quick question, would it not make sense to release videos in 4x3 going forward? If you're eventually planning to make VHS of any video, wouldn't it make sense for them to be 4x3 from the get go? especially since youtube supports it and it looks awesome that way lol

I just wanna say how absolutely huge this VHS Idea is! It's super creative and also fits the vibe of your videos so well in my opinion! This is the first time in 3 years that I've bought "Merch". Awesome Idea, can't wait to see the next one (please do the Tetris video at some point!)

Maybe I can't cut it anymore!" - "You shut up, you sonnovabitch. You and I both know you're the best god damn Samus player alive. We need you to get this record! You're the only man for the job." - "Is this an order, sir?" - "I stopped being your Commanding Officer ages ago. No, this is a... a humble request from an old friend." - Mario 64 Master quietly considers - "So, Mario 64 Master. Will you offer your skills one last time?" - "Alright... Mario 64 Master cracks his knuckles and opens up Excel Time to show these kids how it's really done..."

"The only place to watch that is on this tape." As a poor who neither has a VHS player nor money left over after the bills, I hope you make a killing off of these, and I also kinda hope one day the updated (and retro-aspect-ratioed) will be viewable elsewhere as well. FOMO sales pushes aren't much fun. Props for keeping physical media alive though!

One of the most renowned and beloved docu-tubers ever casually doing a face reveal to show off perhaps the greatest piece of merch ever created, in a 47 minute video about an obscure mode of a 2001 fighting game, is so insane.
