Alright, so picture this: a Super Smash Bros. Melee tourney went sideways, like, really sideways, when this bizarre glitch decided to crash the finals party. Imagine being poised to bag a cool $2,000 and then—bam!—a glitch pulls the rug out from under you. Ouch, right? But hey, no game ever goes as planned, especially one from the early 2000s. It’s like trying to make a spaghetti tower stand tall—something’s bound to tip it over.
Melee’s been around since, what, forever? Nearly 25 years. But here’s the kicker: folks are still crazy about it. New game? Nah, they’re chilling with the classics. Ultimate’s here strutting its stuff on the Switch, but the old-school thrill-seekers? They’re busy mastering Melee. It’s a kind of dedication I can only compare to my love for midnight snacks—persistent and unwavering.
Back to the glitchy mess. This showdown saw Kurtis “Moky” Pratt facing Cody Schwab. $2,000 was tempting them like cookies on a counter, but oh no, Moky’s shot at glory slipped through a ‘virtual crack’ in Pokemon Stadium. Fox McCloud was their weapon of choice, and bam, Moky got kicked to the curb by a glitch while everyone was wavedashing like pros. Guess that tree had a vendetta or something.
Hungrybox, legendary in his own right, was narrating this escapade. He was all like, “Watch out, you might just drop out of the map there,” and wouldn’t you know it, moky was gone quicker than a sneeze. Hungrybox is probably cursing himself for that jinx. Couldn’t script it better if you tried.
So, Moky and Schwab? Big shots in the Smash world. Schwab’s holding down the silver and Moky’s chilling at fourth place globally. This glitch? Rare as finding a single sock after doing laundry, yet there it was, messing things up. Both Moky and Schwab seemed to shake it off, though. Laughing, smiling like the glitch was a long-lost buddy who popped out of nowhere. Respect, my dudes.
Who’s to say what would’ve happened without that glitch? But knowing these champs, they’re bound to clash again. Until then, may your games be bug-free and your wavedashes impeccable. Keep smashing, folks!
