When I had just discovered the scene existed in 2013, and I couldn't even wavedash yet, I decided to go to a Guardian Games tournament in Portland. When I first got there, I sat down at a setup with my friend and played some friendlies. Then who else but Silent Wolf walks up (in 2013, mind you) and sits down with us. He immediately JV5d me with his Sheik that he never played. He just got a huge grin, looked over at me and said "That's only the second time I've ever done that". I just replied with "... You're welcome?" I still go into his stream every few years to remind him. What a way to be introduced to the scene.

I’ve gotten multiple JV5s on slippi: Every single time my opponent quits out at the start when they see I’m playing a mid tier.

The JV5 is really mythical. We all remember KirbyKaze's NEAR JV5 even though he didn't get it in the end, that's why they're legendary.

theres no way raid approved the way you delivered this ad 💀💀

4:37 for all you legends watching

His ass is not getting responsored 🤣

no way Walt explained a basketball analogy while playing an Amsa clip, bro legit pulled a Subway Surfers TikTok split screen😭

I’m honestly shocked that Tilde vs Lucy was the JV4 example from Ultimate, and not Fatality vs Goblin, an actual example of a top level player JV4ing another top player (and then, hilariously, losing the set)

something worth mentioning is that in melee sometimes you win neutral by getting hit. unless ur deliberately going for a jv5 most players are going to use cc to win neutral

lmao this is not the first time I've seen a back handed Raid Shadow Legends ad bit

I'll never forget. The Monday after Plup's Genesis win, I was attending a CFL local with my friend who was the best player from our small region. We got there SUPER early, and were warming up with only four other dudes in the venue who were playing doubles. I remember Plup walking in, and clearly not wanting to play on a four man rotation or doubles, he comes over to our setup and plugs in. As he rotated through characters and beat us down, I thought it would be an amazing idea to try and fight his Fox with my own as I wanted experience in a top level fox ditto. Well. This resulted in me getting UTTERLY JV5d. To the point that my friend was shouting that I needed to laser or something. To this day, I'm happy i was laughing nonstop at it with Plup and that I'll never do a Fox ditto again.

12:27 love seeing Melee people using more sports analogies, there’s so many things these communities have in common and I’m so happy that they’re being used in Melee discussions

I’ve been playing for 10 years now and I’ve only recently gotten my first JV5. It was in a ranked set against a Ganon and I popped off so hard. Probably will never experience that again so I’m glad I did it even if it took a decade :)

mew2king JV5s used to be a dime a dozen LMAO

Bro all these years and no idea what JV meant, thank you for explaining it to me

As a CSGO Loading screen used to say, “Sometimes you opponent is just having a really good day.”

Iceman once JV5ed my homie on stream at the Tuk house. For the next two years that's what my friend was known for lmao

So, fun fact. Ultimate has the most subtle tell of a JV game. The . The dot on your percentage moves upwards slightly the first time you take damage, and it never changes again after that

Game 2 of PPMD vs Hax at MLG Anaheim. The most insane JV5 that almost was...
