So this wild thing happened, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. Picture this: a Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament, years after the game first hit shelves—like, can you believe people are still duking it out in a game from the early 2000s? Anyway, this latest showdown was supposed to be epic. But nope, a wild glitch showed up and turned the whole thing upside down. Boom! There goes the $2,000 prize—just like that. Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up.
Here’s the scoop: Melee’s been around forever, right? But the hardcore crowd, they don’t care. They’re all about showing off their mad skills, display after display, like they’re re-living a bit of gaming history every weekend. It’s kinda cool, actually.
Fast forward to this big date—May something, 2025, I think. The lineup was Kurtis “Moky” Pratt and Cody Schwab, and they were going head-to-head for that sweet $2,000 prize. Fox McCloud was their fighter of choice—iconic, right? They’re over on Pokemon Stadium, doing the whole wavedashing thing, when suddenly—bam—something bizarre happens. Maybe it was the tree on the level, or who knows, but Moky slipped right through like the stage was made of thin air. Debugging? Nope, definitely not a thing at that moment.
And then there’s Hungrybox, one of those absolute legends, providing commentary. He was chatting about exactly that risk seconds before it happened. Like, was it a jinx? Maybe. He called it the “greatest commentator curse of all time.” Gotta hand it to commentary for keeping it real, though.
Anyway, Moky and Schwab are no strangers to this arena. I’m talking regular gladiators in the world of Smash. Moky’s ranked fourth, Schwab’s second in the world or something—definitely a big deal. Though this glitch is a known bug, it’s not exactly happening every Tuesday, know what I mean? But Moky seemed chill about it, which is surprising given the stakes. They even laughed about the whole bizarre scene. Maybe it’s just the nature of the game—it keeps everyone humble.
These guys will keep clashing, surely. It’s not goodbye forever; it’s Call Me Maybe, if you will. Fingers crossed for less glitchy future matches!
