# Did He Just Walk Up Slowly And Down Smash? "Did He Just Walk Up Slowly And Down Smash?" is a Super Smash Bros. Melee catchphrase born from a commentator's shocked reaction to a Mang0 play at Big House 4 in October 2014[1]. By 2019, Melee YouTubers were cutting compilations of similar basic reads and dubbing the audio over unrelated anime scenes like Mob Psycho 100[3][6]. ## Origin On October 5th, 2014, VGBootCamp streamed the Winners Quarters match between Joseph "Mang0" Marquez and Aziz "Hax" Al-Yami at Big House 4[1]. In Game 2, with Mang0 playing Captain Falcon and Hax playing Fox, Mang0 took Hax's second stock by walking across neutral and connecting a down-smash, forgoing any of the dash-dance or movement mixups the matchup usually calls for[1]. In real time, the commentator yelled, "Yo did he just walk up slowly and down-smash?" The reaction stuck immediately with viewers in chat. VGBootCamp posted the standalone highlight on August 11th, 2015, isolating the stock from the surrounding set[5]. By 2022 that upload reported over 4.4 million views[7]. - **Platform:** YouTube (VGBootCamp tournament stream) - **Creator:** Unknown (commentator at Big House 4; Mang0 performed the play) - **Date:** 2014 ## Overview Inside the Melee scene, the line gets quoted any time a top player wins an exchange with an unexpectedly basic input instead of the advanced tech viewers expect, such as a wavedash, dash-dance or shield-drop setup[7]. Clips posted with the catchphrase often show a walking approach followed by a committed, uncancelled smash attack, with the commentator's audio layered on top of the moment of impact[2]. Two flavors of post took off. The first is gameplay footage of amateurs recreating the Mang0 read against friends, uploaded with the quote in the title or a text overlay[2]. The second is audio edits that drop the shocked delivery onto unrelated scenes, including a Mob Psycho 100 fight edit[6] and a Xenoblade cut[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Did He Just Walk Up Slowly And Down Smash??
