For reference if you want a scale of how much Zain has grown In 2016 he was ranked 66th out of 100 In 2017 he was ranked 22nd out of 100 Now in 2018 he looks like a legit Top 10 contender.
probably cus this stuff wasnt intended to be in the game so people figured it out and invent it themselves. making use of it in tournament is just that much cooler and it just exemplifies what melee is.
For me it's top 5 for a set I've watched personally live but not top 5 in general, it did make me very emotional though seeing zains incredible performance...like it may have been the happiest I've ever been watching melee
Gonna say it again, Zain is easily top 10 at this point. He is going to ascend into the Pantheon eventually, it's inevitable. Seriously, what other rank 7-10 player has these kind of results? He is either beating gods or he's taking them to game 5, last stock. His potential is through the roof, I've never seen anything like it.
Basically. Axe has stagnated for way too long, Wizzrobe is incredibly consistent but keeps running in to the same problems (Falco) and has an abysmal record against the top 6 anyways, SFAT isnt even top 10 anymore. I still think Wizzrobe has the potential so either him or Zain will be the 8th God.
Zain makes me feel like Marth can beat any character at the top level, and Plup makes Sheik look like she can take on any of the characters that we used to think destroy her at top level play. These two are taking both their mains to new heights.
@God Almighty I haven't seen someone get so good so quickly. It's overshadowing Amsas great year. I think we were to quick to label Plup a god so I'm still holding off
In the first match, I like how the commentators were mentioning how good both Zain and Plup are on platforms, even calling Plup the '[P]latform [G]OAT'. Now I know what the [PG] in front of their names really mean!
Happy for Zain and to see Marth winning, but Plup really dropped the ball here. His offstage game and needles in particular were way below par. Really big opportunity dropped, a run of Axe, Zain and M2K to make him #1 for the year should have been his if he was switched on.
There are four versions of Melee that were officially released. Version 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, and PAL. What they were saying about Samus' up air is that in version 1.0 of Melee, multihit moves and moves that do less than 1% weren't able to be SDI'd. So that's why Plup didn't connect all of Samus' up air.
That also being said, Zain totally just gave a vision of what true current meta marth should look like. Plus he's super cool as a person, definitely happy how amazingly well he did.
Plup is now property of the Zain Domain
Its so insane how drastically zain improved

Nintendolegopspfan10 ha ha, see, you are funny and original

Dair2BD God bless you.
tfw when the start of this video ruins the end of another set
Great reverse edgeguard though.
BaufenBeast DON'T ENCOURAGE IT

Top 7 contender
Maybe top 6 now, since he has won a major, and Mang0 hasn't.
soygoyboy yo don’t sleep on the kid he’s got Big House 8 on lock
Hit me up next month fam.
Zain top 6 incoming
15:21 I love how we get hyped in melee just with movement
it's like dragonball
probably cus this stuff wasnt intended to be in the game so people figured it out and invent it themselves. making use of it in tournament is just that much cooler and it just exemplifies what melee is.
It's more that stickywalking isn't good for anything but swag. The fact that Zain is swagging on Plup in winner's semis of Summit is what's hype.
Well that aint true but go off king
These two move insanely fast. They look like some TAS players, absolutely nuts.
This set was amazing.
Oh my god Zain are you kidding me
Out here lookin like Ken 2.0 holy shit. ZAIN'S WORLD. EXCELLENT!
7th god
Chillindude popping off with Zain JUST LIKE how he does with Azen is super amazing to see. Love you Chillin!
This Set is like watching 2 new age M2Ks play each other.
Amazing set. Crazy how melee continues to grow more interesting all these years later.
This is probably the best marth vs shiek play since pp. take notes marths.
*Kevin nanney but he's pakistani*
Zain! The god slayer slayer
This is such a anime-set
This main is an absolute Zainiac.
I would argue that this is one of the top 5 melee sets ever played.
and no spacies to be seen
Definitely a top 5 tourney
For me it's top 5 for a set I've watched personally live but not top 5 in general, it did make me very emotional though seeing zains incredible performance...like it may have been the happiest I've ever been watching melee
Ryan Wingate Agreed. I was cosplaying the NotLikeThis emote for a good portion of the set lol
DJ hugging his Bowser lol
Set of the year IMO
imagine how funny it wouldve been had these two fought eachother in grand finals under the same sponsor

Adam C wizzy could be the best falcon ever it's just he plays too robotic
Even tho i dislike him because of the stalling he does before the sets, Wizzy is already the best falcon ever
Zain just lost two sets in a row to some scrub at Xanda. He needs to play like we know he can play.
solidsnack1146 he does now
20:05 Bless you
The set was decided at 12:40
All aboard the Zain Train!
Zain makes me feel like Marth can beat any character at the top level, and Plup makes Sheik look like she can take on any of the characters that we used to think destroy her at top level play. These two are taking both their mains to new heights.
Came here to watch zain vs plup but was happy to see m2k destroy leffen again
I think if Plup stayed Samus after game 2, he would have won.
I dare anyone to convince me otherwise.
Zain in winners finals wtf O_o
you're looking at the future 7th god. No question.
Jarl Ulfric 8th*
solidsnack1146 it's been less than a year
j ho yeah but he is improving fast as hell
@God Almighty I haven't seen someone get so good so quickly. It's overshadowing Amsas great year. I think we were to quick to label Plup a god so I'm still holding off
such a sick set
Just chilling..
i like how this vod starts with salt leff, its so funny lol
Can't believe this man going for a random stickywalk in winner's finals of Summit.
PG stands for Platform Gods. These guys are crazy.
Zain Domain
Yo, throughout most of game 1 on FoD some moves and deaths went with the music
Plup is now passenger on the ZAIN TRAIN
Bravo. Great performances from both. Zain gg
In the first match, I like how the commentators were mentioning how good both Zain and Plup are on platforms, even calling Plup the '[P]latform [G]OAT'. Now I know what the [PG] in front of their names really mean!

Please, Year of the Marth
Imagine if these two started teaming 👀
PG Boyzzz
"Lets go Panda" stop brandon, the pain is too much
1:24 chillin losing another 1000
Why have i never heard about this zain Guy?!
What is all the talk about version 2 and stuff
There are four versions of Melee that were officially released. Version 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, and PAL. What they were saying about Samus' up air is that in version 1.0 of Melee, multihit moves and moves that do less than 1% weren't able to be SDI'd. So that's why Plup didn't connect all of Samus' up air.
Game start 5:15
Plup's winning next Summit.
Yo, Zain inZain
Kinda looks like a better version of Ken!
They have nothing in common other than the color Marth. Their playstyles cannot be more different.
Game 1 @5:15
Z A I N
That leffen disrespect lol
Awesome set.
M2K was the ONLY one to catch on to edge gaurding zain, and not ironically the only one to beat him.
That also being said, Zain totally just gave a vision of what true current meta marth should look like. Plus he's super cool as a person, definitely happy how amazingly well he did.
what are these pivotssssss
Lesgo marth
plup really needs to learn when he can get away with invincible ledgedrop backair, it's hard watching him try to edgeguard marth
Okay Zain's good, we get it. They're all good. Jesus its almost as bad as Mango
Plp n zn so hype
Fucking insane
Zaun = elegant :0
nice
zaint pepsi
Pakistani privilege
A person of color ranked amongst the gods???? LEEETSSS GOOOOO
SirSwagnificent i mean axe is kinda black i think Mango is hispanic Too
SirSwagnificent just wanted to let you know hbox and mango are both Hispanic but I get ur sentiment
RealPercyHours Amsa too
Plup is trash at edguarding. Ntsc carries him
SkaterLauro come down skater boy
Plup is washed
ResidentSleeper
Halt Deinmaul how the fuc... my dude how do you not get hyped by zain
Not only is it satisfying to see a lame player lose but getting to see the underdog win while playing stylish is even better :-)
plup is not lame
Plup is one of the least lame players around wtf
My question is, why is that dude sitting so close when he's got 2 feet of room to his side. Cringe. Gay. Gtf dude lol. Like seriously.
