This was a really good watch, and the editing was fun too! Thanks for documenting so many important points of Melee’s history and hope to get you guys out to a major sometime!
There are TONS of helpful servers, community members and websites that could help you break in tremendously. It’s a HUGE learning curve initially, esp when playing online, but the game DELIVERS on rewarding gameplay and a deep, diverse and loving community. If you don’t know where to start, feel free to reach out to me. I may take a while to compile answers and respond because I’m old and have a family, but I’m 100% willing to help and show you the ropes if you want to break in
Great documentary. As someone who's binge-watched a lot of high level Melee tournaments in the past few years, it's great to see what Locals are like. If I had all the time in the world, I'd pick up a Gamecube controller and go have a blast. Alas, other priorities. All my best to y'all smashing Melee in 2025!
so many attempts that nintendo try to sue these melee tournament organizers with they millions of lawyers but these melee tournament organizers spawn like mushrooms
Incredible vid. Lots of love put into it! Glad you highlighted the local tournament too, wasn't even aware if it prior to seeing this from the Toronto area.
What a great video, I've played Melee from 2011 to about 2023 before taking a break this video has straight up reminded me why I loved this game so much
My favorite game of all time and it's not close. Thank you for the biopic! If you HAVEN'T tried Melee, consider trying Slippi online, it's truly a blast.
Great video, I was involved with running tournaments in the Project M scene in the GTA for quite a few years and Nintendo really had it out for us too lol
Good luck! Going to locals is great, a completely different experience to slippi. Remember that it's no big deal if you go 0-2 - most of us don't win a tournament set for several months at least.
Great editing and video! Hope you guys get a big boost from this video because you definitely deserve it! I've watched 100 hundred videos about the history of Melee and I'll watch 100 more lol
this video belongs in the S tier. good grief, the editing itself is top notch🧑🏻🍳💋 gonna dust off my gamecube controller and hop back into melee in 2025🎮
wow, this channel KILLED IT. will definitely be subscribing for the future! this was an amazing video and so much time, effort, and care was put into it. kudos!
Great job on the video. This felt so loving and genuine. And the editing was top tier!😊. Not a boring moment in this video. Looking forward to more videos amigos. 👍🏾
Regarding the Smash World Tour cancelation, my sentiment is "post screenshots of the emails". It was a "he-said-he-said" situation where both VGbootcamp and Nintendo were pointing fingers at each other and Nintendo vehemently refused to accept blame for the tournament finale's cancelation.
34:15 basically samsh world tour wanted an international cup but didnt get the license from nintendo, panda got the license from nintendo after a year for a national circuit. smash world tour waited like 4 months ish i cant remember but smash world tour announced the cup anyways without any nintendo licensing for whatever reason. I dont know what they were thinking
If this gets more people playing he’ll yeah! For any new peeps! Take your time and don’t get frustrated. It takes a bit to get used to but when you do oh bless 🙏🙏🙏
I think this is a good video about Nintendo vs the Melee scene but with a title like that, I feel like it avoids the huge elephant in the room of how certain members of the community did poison the water and did not help with it's reputation and how it's seen by people in and out of the scene. Something at least talking about that and how the community working to overcome it would have been nice. Though on the bright side that means I was able to watch a video on the history of Melee without hearing or seeing that person even once, which is nice.
I think you're describing a crew battle, not an amature bracket. The latter is just a normal double elim bracket for the bottom half of the players after pools.
Nintendo fans love Nintendo out of spite. I'm no different. I will continue to support the things I love no matter how many times the creators threaten me whenever I do so.
painting Nintendo as a boogeyman was fine until bringing up Panda. Summarizing it as "back and forths" overlooks the crab bucket mentality that went on within the community
I mean, I’d say the community has just stagnated, with small pushes eventually leading to a rise. The issue is the Smash community wants Nintendo’s esport money but still wants to behave like a grassroots community. And you can thank Gimr for screwing the pooch on the Panda Cup and Smash World Tour.

How’s ur vacation going I love the videos btw
Rahhhh its my goat walt
Ayyy!! Random Walt in the wild! Your content has gotten me through the year. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks so much! Love your videos (been binging through the DK vids). Hopefully we can get out to GOML this year 🤞
@@GameframeShow Love to hear that! GOML's one of my faves -- definitely come say hi if you can make it out!
Gotta check out Melee now 😅
Please do, melee is so peak. It's gonna be hard to get into, but it is worth it to feel the level up you get as a player from learning and improving
Download slippi to play online

the rise, fall, rise, fall, rise, fall, rise, fall, rise-
there's a reason we're the cockroach of esports
so many attempts that nintendo try to sue these melee tournament organizers with they millions of lawyers but these melee tournament organizers spawn like mushrooms
Melee for 100 years morty!
I love how you're in the stages, so cool!
Incredible vid. Lots of love put into it! Glad you highlighted the local tournament too, wasn't even aware if it prior to seeing this from the Toronto area.
Oh my gosh where did you guys come from, this is amazing
This is honestly an incredibly well made video for such a small creator
What a great video, I've played Melee from 2011 to about 2023 before taking a break this video has straight up reminded me why I loved this game so much
My favorite game of all time and it's not close. Thank you for the biopic!

So jealous of the green screen. The self inserts are so nice!!
Dope video, shoutouts to the Toronto fam
Going to my first local in a while tonight and this video got me so hyped up for it! Great video and I'm glad you enjoy Melee!
Good luck! Going to locals is great, a completely different experience to slippi. Remember that it's no big deal if you go 0-2 - most of us don't win a tournament set for several months at least.
Awesome quality here. As a long time Smash fan, loved it! Keep up the good work.
Just beautiful. I love melee so much 🥹
i subbed on that intro alone. i already know this is gonna be a great piece of content
Insane quality documentary out of nowhere LOL. Good stuff, I'll always sub for melee content
Insane level of editing right here.
awesome editing and great documentary. i will always cherish this game for the people i got to meet through it. this game will never die
Is this a reupload? The quality is crazy
I don’t know where you Guys came from but DAMN nice editing, charismatic presentation, funny. You got my sub!
@atrioc needs to watch this
Editing is awesome on this
Feels like a early 2000s documentary you'd watch at school
hope they remaster melee for switch 2 🤞Great vid!
Great editing and video! Hope you guys get a big boost from this video because you definitely deserve it!
I've watched 100 hundred videos about the history of Melee and I'll watch 100 more lol
this video belongs in the S tier. good grief, the editing itself is top notch🧑🏻🍳💋
gonna dust off my gamecube controller and hop back into melee in 2025🎮
That smash some bros joke was really funny.
hehe thanks (*pulls collar nervously*)
one of the first games i ever got as a young lad. i remember the feeling it gave me just seeing the case inside the glass at Walmart
wow, this channel KILLED IT. will definitely be subscribing for the future! this was an amazing video and so much time, effort, and care was put into it. kudos!
amazing video. Keep up the good work
thanks for watching!
This is an absolutely well made video! Been loving melee and hope to make a vid on this game as well, this inspired me! U got urself a new sub!
Hey babe new melee revitalizing documentary just dropped
Great job on the video. This felt so loving and genuine. And the editing was top tier!😊. Not a boring moment in this video. Looking forward to more videos amigos. 👍🏾
Dope video I like your editing style
Well edited video for my favorite community!

That entrance from behind the Hyrule caste post was hilarious 😂
Fantastic Video my lads top 5 game period
Does this guy even know how good Moky is
i see a melee video, i watch. simple
I'm a simple man, i see melee doc, I like & sub
Sorry to break your 666 follower count .. maybe we can get to 669 soon?
This was an amazing video. Hyped to be here for the ground floor!!🎉
34:15 basically samsh world tour wanted an international cup but didnt get the license from nintendo, panda got the license from nintendo after a year for a national circuit. smash world tour waited like 4 months ish i cant remember but smash world tour announced the cup anyways without any nintendo licensing for whatever reason.

Great vid y’all shoutouts to Crimson and Nate Green
the ammount of channels with a break out video about melee makes me think TH-cam loves melee
Hate to be that guy but 2:04 is 100% NOT 2001, I think it's from Pound in 2008
I said the exact same thing to myself when I saw that clip
This was a sick documentary. Had to sub
I love this Super Smash Brothers game!
melee was blatantly ahead of its time, timeless some would say.
insane production quality
video has a lot of heart, props!
Really well made video dude
The way I be looking at a brand new channel dropping a banger in my suggested
Banger video, needs more views ASAP
Reggie with the red eyes is too scary
New thumbnail gonna make this pop off
How do I show up the every Toronto local to take photos and not remember this being recorded 😭
It's my sceneeeee! Thank you for this!
Yooo, love this vid. Good work. Long live melee
Not into Melee as much as i used to, but this is a VERY well-made video
If this gets more people playing he’ll yeah! For any new peeps! Take your time and don’t get frustrated. It takes a bit to get used to but when you do oh bless 🙏🙏🙏
great vid man you got my sub!
The last time I played melee, slippi didn’t even exist. I might have to hop on it and see what’s good
I think this is a good video about Nintendo vs the Melee scene but with a title like that, I feel like it avoids the huge elephant in the room of how certain members of the community did poison the water and did not help with it's reputation and how it's seen by people in and out of the scene.

CMOOON, DONT LET IT DIE
You’re gonna get big
The best game of all time.
If you are curious about melee go for it. The game gives so much
this is an amazing vid commenting for algorithm
COVID really put a damper on the local scenes because Slippi gave you the abilities to get good while justifying the denial of in person play.
the final message of this video is exactly correct
GO TO YOUR LOCAL
it’s the best decision you can make
Banger video. You'll be getting the views that other creators get in absolutely no time. Keep it up!
Very nice video!
If melee TOs start including P+/PM in their events then I see melee lasting longer.
great video! hehehe
Nintendo fans love Nintendo out of spite. I'm no different. I will continue to support the things I love no matter how many times the creators threaten me whenever I do so.
When did melee over drop and fall tf
bro really ignored the existence of super smash bros for the N64
we love melee
hi nouns keep giving money to bristol we love u
i don't have anything to comment but i want to feed the algorithm so more people watch this video
painting Nintendo as a boogeyman was fine until bringing up Panda. Summarizing it as "back and forths" overlooks the crab bucket mentality that went on within the community
Its easy.
I see amazing melee content, and I like and subscribe.
Nice work bro.
Melee is siiiick
akaneia is the BEST way to play melee imho
Make more melee local vids!
great video! :) go canada
The green screening reminds me of asteroid videos
Mee-leeeeeeee!
commenting as proof i was here before the algorithm (im here before 1k views)
Melee is goated y’all should check it out
Your editing broke me
hi

Melee melee melee
