Okay, so gather ‘round for this wild story about a Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament—like, I can’t believe this happened. Picture it: the tourney’s hitting finals, right? Everyone’s on edge, $2,000 up for grabs. And then, bam! This ridiculous glitch just decides to crash the party, flipping the outcome entirely. What even?!
And yeah, Super Smash Bros. Melee, the game is almost as old as I am—launched, what, 25 years ago? Yet, there’s this dedicated band of hardcore fans still rocking it. They’re either streaming or duking it out in competitions. Honestly, respect.
So, this crazy thing went down at the Full House 2025 tournament, weekend of May 16. Kurtis “Moky” Pratt and Cody Schwab were going head-to-head for the title. Side note: imagine getting that close to a big payday only to see it slip away. Why? A glitch, folks. Moky just fell off the face of the stage—and I mean, it was Fox McCloud in the Pokémon Stadium. Was Moky chilling in the wrong tree branches? No idea. But Schwab wasn’t complaining, I bet.
And, Hungrybox, the commentator dude—he predicted it, kinda. He’s all, “Watch out for the stage,” and then, poof! Moky just vanishes through it. Talk about jinxing it, right? The clip is out there. Hungrybox shared it, calling it the “greatest commentator curse of all time.” Can’t make this stuff up.
These players, Moky and Schwab, they’re huge in the Super Smash community—ranked second and fourth worldwide. It’s this rare glitch everyone knows about, yet it’s like spotting a unicorn. Moky didn’t think he’d trigger it, though. Bummer. But they laughed it off, like seasoned champs. Makes you wonder how the match would’ve gone down glitch-free. But hey, they’ll face off again. Mark my words.
Alright, ramble over—just had to get this down. Who knew a gaming glitch could be so dramatic?
