I still argue that Leffen's GOML 2016 run stands to this day as (IMO) the greatest single Melee tournament run of all time. 4 gods straight and taking it through winners on his first big tournament in almost a year, with some truly hype sets. I'm not even particularly a fan of Leffen, but that run was historic
MrPopo40 Because 3 weeks after this video was made Leffen won EVO 2018 for his first EVO win ever after he tweeted, “I will win EVO”. Would have made the video even better than it already is!
This was the most well done video about melee history that I've seen in a long time. Great timing too, as melee could very well gain a lot of new fans once Smash Ultimate comes out.
Love it. Rare to see anything this well done, especially appreciate the good gameplay clips (which other doc style vids are shamefully lacking ). Thanks for making this
@@SlushTV Ur provably being sarcastic but OK. I was just pointing out what Hax meant by media and the manipulated narrative. You don't have to agree but a lot of people didn't understand why he was using the word media.
@@jebril I'm actually not being sarcastic I fully bought into Leffen being a good dude now until Hax's video. Now I think Leffen is probably still an asshole.
These are some of the best videos I’ve ever seen on this website. Such a high quality of production. Thank you for blessing us with these amazing vids.
Malte Sandkvist their cases are perfect, but their buttons and sticks are terrible unfortunately. I'd wait on it until they improve their quality unless you just get a shell
@@tercoil Personally I like the resin MS buttons but I do agree on the sticks. It really depends on your preference though. I use a Smash 4 controller with MS buttons and a raised Y/R button because it feels more ergonomic with claw grip. I also installed trigger plugs and that might be the best upgrade imo. I still have the OEM sticks but I did add a silicone grip to the thumbstick.
but now he got a new set of gods to beat. I mean, he beat Dogura once in DBFZ, but man, imagine him beating Dogura in a tournament SFV match... hell, imagine him beating GO1, or Hook... Gang... God... (I play bbtag, there's some dude who runs around with that hookYangGod tag, yes they have a youtube channel), or SonciFox... like... bro... with that offense and defense he displayed vs GO1, imagine the possibilities...
This video was so well put together, very interesting in a part of Smash Esports I had no prior knowledge of. Subbed! Hope to see more amazing content like this!
Zigs but Leffen will never be a hero, since Hungrybox is the Shield Hero, a true force of good Hated by all, while Leffen is the Spear Hero, smug, arrogant and a hatred of everyone.
This video gave me goosebumps. I was aware of Leffen for a long time but did not know so many of the details this vid mentioned. I have a newfound respect for him.
man, if only this video had come out 2 weeks later, you could have included his first evo EVO win after YEARS of struggling with that tourney. He finally overcame his demons and played SO well at that tournament.
Well done! This is inspiring to me...not to become the best fighting game player of all time but to achieve my personal dreams as an artist. Leffen, you can do really great things in the world and possibly be the best DBFZ player of all time. But first you will have to be a great person. Best of luck at EVO!
One thing I noticed - At 10:25 when Leffen defeats PP the very first thing he does is extend his hand for the handshake, as if to say how much he enjoyed the competition and appreciated his opponent. A true sign of growth.
I love your videos so much and I can't wait for the next one. If you do suggestions for videos, here's one, history of esports. Hope you do that and I'll see you in the next video
i just barely saw yesterday leffen going against zero in ultimate, well lets just say he is getting there, still i saw him progress more and more, i love seeing someone just progress even if they lose a lot at first thats how progress is made and i love that he didn't give up.
I had no internet after Smash Summit 6 so I need to catch up on big Leff Been a fan of Leffen since Apex 2014 and this video is amazing. Need to watch DBZ Leff now
America: You work for an American company and have no VISA. Leffen: Heres my work VISA, I play super smash bros. America: Thats not a job. Leffen: Then- why do I need a VISA? America: Because you work for an American Company.
omg this was amazing! either you know how to research or you really know your stuff. Feel like I could watch any esport documentary if you made one for any game, can't wait for more! (PS would love to see a DBFZ or LoL One :P)
RIP Jason of MultiShine Designs
rest in peace 🙏

@@BELDAM808 lol
Welp. This aged like milk.
Leffen went back to his ways extremely fast,
This was an amazing video. Keep it up man
EZScape oh hi there.
So we're just not going to talk about M2K's 6-0 victory against him? Understandable.
He also didn’t mention Leffen getting a 6-0 against Armada so I think it’s fair.
@@Ale_LSH and Mang0 beating him 5-0 in grand finals
@@blade5445 That has never happened lol
@@Ale_LSH th-cam.com/video/-PNWh8Menm4/w-d-xo.html fine 3-0
@@Ale_LSH shush
When a villian doesn’t cross the line, they can enhance people’s investment into the scene so much.
Leffen was really a "Love to hate" Personality, I think he's mellowed out tho.
Viper Changed tha game yeah, hes now big leff
Not gonna lie, his twitter is a joke still.
So....Leffen is basically Vegeta...
Underrated comment
Except he doesn't get Toriyama'd
Also gary oak
@@triv4555 *Hasn't gotten Toriyama'd yet
Expect people like vegeta
these videos are actually sick. definitely worth the wait
Dude comes back and pulls melee Evo 18. Absolute boss.
Every time you make a Melee related video, I get super excited to see what you've made this time! Keep up the great work!

Damn, you made this video 3 weeks too early :(

Darrothan Came here to make sure this has been done. Thanks. +1
khafail why is that??
+MrPopo40 Big Leff won Evo...

My favorite thing to do while watching Leffen sets is to watch his face contort into some of the strangest facial expressions iv'e ever seen.
truly an above average size leff, i cant believe how many documentary style videos he has
Love it. Rare to see anything this well done, especially appreciate the good gameplay clips (which other doc style vids are shamefully lacking ). Thanks for making this
There's that type of feeling you can't recreate when you see a >20 min video from one of your favorite content creators on YT in your sub box.
Also I love that M2Ks reactions to his Summit win is his intro to the story
This is the media that Hax$ was referring to, not just Samox.
I agree with you I now think I've been duped by leffen

1:03 Respect? He has none of that from me.
it was so nice to see both leffen and ppmd smile and laugh after that match
And big Leff took Evo today. Let’s fucking go.
God dang that was a nice ass video. I legit got chills at some parts
These are some of the best videos I’ve ever seen on this website. Such a high quality of production. Thank you for blessing us with these amazing vids.
Great job, Slush.
I can’t wait to see you explode in the community!
Well He fucking did it didnt he
just started and i already have chills
My GOD these videos are a delight to watch! Thanks so much for your work man!
Yea EVO BABY! Lets GO LEFFEN, next year Leffen gonna beat sonicfox at his own game. tsm > echofox
Cyndaquil Lol don’t get ahead of yourself 😂
As much as I hate leffen, I hate sonicfox even more.
My favorite smash and dbfz player. This was a great video!
Your username is incredible
Now i gotta get a new controller from MultiShine

Matthew Maravilla He almost beat GO1 recently in top 48, their set was the most hype that whole tournament.
He’s still not as good or as nice as Hungrybox
@@theawkwardskeleton6608 Not for a loooooooooooooooong time.

Subbed! Hope to see more amazing content like this!
Amazing vid bro. I’m new to smash and fighting games in general and this helps a ton lol
I’d watch hour long Smash documentaries by you, to be honest. Great damn job.
Super well done video! An insight to Leffen’s personality makes his dynamic with Mango that much more funny 😂
Just as good if not better than the Plup documentary. Keep it up man, you're earning my sub everytime I watch a video
I love E N O R M O U S L E F F
Never thought of it, but Moonlight Sonata is totally Leffen's theme.
you either become a villain or live long enough to see yourself become a hero
Zigs die the villain
Zigs but Leffen will never be a hero, since Hungrybox is the Shield Hero, a true force of good Hated by all, while Leffen is the Spear Hero, smug, arrogant and a hatred of everyone.

I was aware of Leffen for a long time but did not know so many of the details this vid mentioned. I have a newfound respect for him.
And now he's won EVO. This guy just keeps on giving.
man, if only this video had come out 2 weeks later, you could have included his first evo EVO win after YEARS of struggling with that tourney. He finally overcame his demons and played SO well at that tournament.
Man, you should have waited for Evo 2018! Leffen finally taking that crown he's been chasing for YEARS? That's some next-level shit.
BIG L E F F
Tuxeo - Melee PPMD got replaced by Plup lul
ENORMOUS LEFF
This video was very well done. Perfect pacing and structure.
Well done! This is inspiring to me...not to become the best fighting game player of all time but to achieve my personal dreams as an artist.
Leffen, you can do really great things in the world and possibly be the best DBFZ player of all time. But first you will have to be a great person. Best of luck at EVO!
And now he won Evo. Truly an inspiring story
and now he's the EVO 2018 SSBM champion , good for him !
I love it when someone has the music in the description.
"YOURE NOT ONE OF THE GODS, YOURE ONE OF THE GOD AWFUL"
I'm sorry
Damn man, you made this just a tad early. Leffen exploded back onto the melee scene and mopped the floor with everyone at Evo.
Omg your editing and storytelling has been getting so much better
13:16 That face on Leffen speaks a thousand words
Haven’t finished the video yet but nice touch using Beethoven in the intro for Leffen
I dont know how you do it but these have gotten better every video. Keep it up man
This was a straight-up incredible video that taught me all sorts of awesome stuff, and it was super enjoyable! Keep up the amazing work :)
I really enjoyed watching this. Never knew much about Leffen before. Great video.
Man the graphics and the visuals and the narrating all of it was amazing, I really felt as if I was walking through a hallway of his whole career
These videos are real good! Great job man, I'll be waiting for the next 1!
I literally just discovered your channel and hen you go ahead and release a video on the same day. This is great.
You either die a villain or live long enough to become the hero.
Welp. Lives up to being a deceiving villain, I guess.
One thing I noticed -

EXCELLENT video! I enjoyed watching this very much!
Love your smash vids. Keep em coming. Great work
These are a fantastic dive into Smash history! Keep em coming!
finally got around to watching this. your best so far!
These videos are really fucking good..
It makes me want to watch more of your videos, but i already watched them all :(
I love your videos so much and I can't wait for the next one. If you do suggestions for videos, here's one, history of esports. Hope you do that and I'll see you in the next video
I need to watch that PPMD set again because holy shit that follow-up game was NUTS
dang dude this was super good. incredible job, very entertaining!
yo the soundtrack on this video is fucking killer man. props
i just barely saw yesterday leffen going against zero in ultimate, well lets just say he is getting there, still i saw him progress more and more, i love seeing someone just progress even if they lose a lot at first thats how progress is made and i love that he didn't give up.
He may not be the #1 ranked melee player but I think he’s probably the best player
WTF, This is so well done (video, sound, script, all). This is good content, keep it!!!
Wonderful Video! I had to watch it again! I only wish you redo it now and get that new super satisfying ending!
That was a dope video! I really wish it came out after EVO though to talk about his EVO rampage that just happened. Regardless sub for sure!
I had no internet after Smash Summit 6 so I need to catch up on big Leff
Been a fan of Leffen since Apex 2014 and this video is amazing. Need to watch DBZ Leff now
7:12 can we just appreciate this editing
Leffen is one of those people who are really ugly and really beautiful at the same time
Love your high quality videos man, keep it up I’m sure your channel will explode one day!
more smash/fighting game history/background. love that shit.
The music at the beginning is absolutely perfect for his personality, lol.
Dude just became an EVO Champion. ;)
Holy shit dude, this is amazing, seriously! Keep up the amazing work man!!!
America: You work for an American company and have no VISA.
Leffen: Heres my work VISA, I play super smash bros.
America: Thats not a job.
Leffen: Then- why do I need a VISA?
America: Because you work for an American Company.
And now, he is the 2018 SSBM EVO CHAMP. Congrats to Leffen.
This was very well made.
THE BIG LEFF is gonna fucking love this video 👌
+George Emdin Haha I do hope he checks it out
slush_ssbm oh I'm sure he will. Awesome video man!
Then destroyed in Evo playing out of his mind. Dudes insane
Its nice to know where he is now.
These are great keep doing them!
You either die a villain, or live long enough to see yourself become a HERO!
omg this was amazing! either you know how to research or you really know your stuff. Feel like I could watch any esport documentary if you made one for any game, can't wait for more! (PS would love to see a DBFZ or LoL One :P)
This video aged like milk
That was insaaaaane man ! Amazing work thank you !!
I slept on Leffen for 2 years, and then I watched this video, and now I think I’m in love
Getting such a composed player like go1 pop off like that says everything about this set.
Nice little documentary, I really got into it. Keep it up!!
