Truly, the modern classic. Two Doc Kids already at the forefront of the current meta in one of Melee's longest running matchups. Another great set between these two.
This is such a sick set, both players were destroying each other! That Yoshi's game must've been unfortunate for iBDW, but I really hope he gets the runback vs Zain in LF or GF
I'm honestly glad that Jmook beat iBDW to get yet another upset, he beat 2 top 5 Fox players this tournament (Sheik's hardest matchup), and played so well to make it to Grand Finals vs Zain
Really disappointing that Cody didn’t make it back to Grands for a re-match, but this was the set of the whole tournament and felt like the highest level Melee of the whole weekend. But also, Jmook torched a bunch of people and made them look terrible, which goes to show how well he was playing everyone.
That was so high level that I've already watched this set like 3 times and yet still finding that just one opening ended in losing a stock, so evenly matched that it seemed scripted, absolutely madness and calculation one go
Was thinking of this set during the rest of the tournament. Incredible showing from both players, and an incredible game 5. Shame we couldn't see a potential grands like this!
Zains mental fortitude this set is insane to eek out a win. Cody was playing outrageously good, I know I wasn't alone in thinking a new number one could be coming during game 1.
Best set of the tournament for me, they just destroyed eachother! Really proud of n0ne and Jmook for their runs but kinda hoped to see this matchup in grands
The tekken menu theme really be hittin at the end of these sets lol These guys pushing the game beyond anything we could've thought, it's incredible :')
During this set I thought that IBDW was the best player in the room. He was outplaying Zain in neutral so well and he was hitting him like a truck. I have never seen Zain look so scared of a Fox before this and the fact that he still clutched it out was incredible. I disagree with IBDW when he said he believes that this was the greatest set ever in terms of both skill level and adaptation (idk what my pick would be for that one but there were too many flubs in crucial moments during this set for me to agree with that statement), but it was definitely a damn good one. Mad props to both competitors.
Wow... Since pandemic i stopped watching ssbm tournaments. Until today. I followed this whole tournament and i got into this match... omg. Never seen a "percentagebath" like this. Both were THIRSTY for stocks... Gonna keep watching, can't picture the finals...
I had this playing on my TV, and my family thought David Cross and Dan Mintz (Tina, Bob's Burgers) were commentating. I can't hear melee the same again
Love to see how cody went from being consistently destroyed by Zain to now being on his level. Also props to Zain for playing Cody almost everyday. I remember once upon a time a top player refused to play people so they wouldn't get better against him.

Zain v iBDW going to be an amazing rivalry for years to come
This felt like the real grand finals. Zain knew how important this set was.
the thug finals but in the actual bracket
Zain didn't pop off after he beat Jmook
The boss before the final boss that is actually the hardest boss in the game
This set was honestly the tournament and it really felt like it, crazy set and crazy ending, set of the year
My friend, the year has just begun
grand finals sucked
@@rigbone1522 With Mang0 down, IBDW was really the only actual threat to Zain tbh.
@@icegod4849 yeah you right
@@icegod4849 Their lifetime head to head record is 12-1 in Zain's favor lmao
This is such a sick set, both players were destroying each other! That Yoshi's game must've been unfortunate for iBDW, but I really hope he gets the runback vs Zain in LF or GF
He got wrecked by Jmook
Not this time buster
I'm honestly glad that Jmook beat iBDW to get yet another upset, he beat 2 top 5 Fox players this tournament (Sheik's hardest matchup), and played so well to make it to Grand Finals vs Zain
@@Michael-hc2hp I always love when the meta keeps evolving to stop 20XX from happening

This set is the future of melee, and determined so much. What a journey melee has been to get us to this point.
Right? This gameplay is absolutely future of melee. Jesus
Top 10 Randall moments of all time
that was a very Randall moment
GRSmash where you at? We need a new Top 10 Randall moment highlight
That was so high level that I've already watched this set like 3 times and yet still finding that just one opening ended in losing a stock, so evenly matched that it seemed scripted, absolutely madness and calculation one go
This set was amazing
It was so back and forth; you could tell both players wanted to win.
such a high IQ game, definitely felt like the cutting edge of the meta
Was thinking of this set during the rest of the tournament. Incredible showing from both players, and an incredible game 5. Shame we couldn't see a potential grands like this!
This set was RIDICULOUS
This might be the sickest Marth vs Fox set ever played. Both players playing the game at such an insanely high level. It's crazy how far we've come.
Zains mental fortitude this set is insane to eek out a win. Cody was playing outrageously good, I know I wasn't alone in thinking a new number one could be coming during game 1.
Best set of the tournament for me, they just destroyed eachother! Really proud of n0ne and Jmook for their runs but kinda hoped to see this matchup in grands
What a fucking set, that last game. Chillin and vish are so good on comms too
This felt like a classic Armada M2k set. The man with the plan Vs the unstoppable force.
iDBW died because Randall messed up his ledge dash, absolutely tragic for what was otherwise a phenomenal set
randall giveth and randall taketh away
What the fuck was that last game!
15:59 is such a perfectly timed CC into grab.
That last game was epic, one of my favorite game of Genesis 8.
Set of the tournament for me
This game is 21 yo, and this is probbably the best marth vs fox set of all time. Last crouchcancel by Zain was a win
He did it while dashing too, tricky move.
@@Ryan-gk1bd yeah, amazing
13:37 was SUCH a nice DI mixup!
gonna tell my kids this was grand finals
that run up cc grab to ken combo reminded me of m2k
Yeah I think Randall was paid off
What a set. I'm just sad they both couldn't advance
Dude this set is so goated
"This is an absolute slobber knocker!" - Bobby Scar
Ive been looking forward to this!
The tekken menu theme really be hittin at the end of these sets lol
These guys pushing the game beyond anything we could've thought, it's incredible :')
best set of the tourney
they both nasty, i cant imagine how much dedication is needed to play like that
I was half asleep before watching this and was in mild disbelief at how fast paced it was
God Melee is so SICK

Wtf was that huge bubble around fox at 3:28???
Light shield

there should be a new "just how fast is Melee" featuring that game 1
wild set
Its amazing. I didn't care who won this set because I know going forward they were going to have even crazier sets.
Alright, Melee fans does Summit 11 grands Mango v Zain, or this set, Genesis WF Zain v IBDW take best set of Marth - Fox
In terms of stakes and buildup it’s 100% Mango/Zain but in terms of actual quality of gameplay it’s this set
What was up with Zain throwing out so many nairs in place, that seemed so uncharacteristic and panicky
Cody is become a menace
He's just nervous i think.. scary thing is that this aint even peak zain
very cool set. these boys know how to frickin play MELEEEE
One of the BEST sets ive ever seen
I had this playing on my TV, and my family thought David Cross and Dan Mintz (Tina, Bob's Burgers) were commentating. I can't hear melee the same again
Let’s be honest… This was Genesis 8’s REAL Grand Finals 😂
What a set! They really did their best and didnt give anything for free. Ggs wp zain and IBDW
A set for the record books
Wheres mango and wizzy?
Best commentary
Jmook was a legend (and he thrashed Cody). But for me, this was the finals. What a clash.
Is it just me who wants them to list the commentators too???? I usually know but sometimes it's a lesser known excellent commentator.
It’s chillin and vish
Incredible match!
Love to see how cody went from being consistently destroyed by Zain to now being on his level. Also props to Zain for playing Cody almost everyday. I remember once upon a time a top player refused to play people so they wouldn't get better against him.
Craaaaaaaaazy set!
Randall save Zain of a "Mango finals"
zain the best, coolest, and most deserving
Legendary set
instant classic
Thank fox egos for believing that there are always an answer for even Zain plays
10:13
15:35
A fucking CLASSIC
kinda felt like IBDW was domming most of the time
so fast
he was what
@@TRENTSINCLAIRE LOOOOL
Best set in all of the top 8
I thought ibdw retired
break dance break dance
Real grand finals
That was sick
tf was that handshake
CHILLIN
GET WELL SOON CHILLIN
iBDW doesn’t do hugs LOL
That fox looked like the best in the world
Wowwww that game 5 was insane
In my personal opinion jiggly puff vs fox is a harder match up than marth
If you mean for Fox that’s just straight up wrong lol
2 Titans.
Zain's pop off. Lol
Game 3 was disgusting
Mango would have homie stocked there last game. It was blow for blow right until that. Everyone knows sometimes Randall requires a stock sacrifice.
Mango would not have homie stocked LOL he didn’t homie when Zain sd’d in the first FD game at Summit 11
LFG
Dirty, nasty, filthy, disgusting, unclean.
IBDW g3 tf
Ibdw is probably my least favourite melee player. Such bad attitude.
Wait people still wear masks? And on top of that while on stage nowhere near anyone?
as long as hbox loses then it's fine
chillin/vish commentary 😴😴😴😴
