    This documentary is 4 hours long, and 9 years old. I have no idea how many times I have watched it at this point. It is a time capsule and it always makes me feel so nostalgic. There are problems with it, but it is a product of its time and I still love hearing the stories of how this small grassroots community rallied behind this silly party game and turned it into arguably the most technical fighter in the world.

      Same dude. I played a ton of Brawl back in the day and even played Project M before the doc came out, but this documentary is what got me into Melee. Now, in the past decade, ive played thousands of hours, gone to dozens of fests and tournaments, and still play on Slippi to this day. I still come back to this doc every couple years and watch it all. I love it. Melee never dies.

  • @emmbeesea

    This documentary tells the story of Melee through to EVO 2013, perhaps the most influential and important tournament in Melee's history. Now, EVO 2019 will not happen for this game, despite its six straight years on the main stage. What I would give for a documentary of 2013-2019 Melee; the rise and fall of the Five Gods, the Godslayers, the demigods, and all of the hungry newcomers who strive for a Top 100 spot.

      Yeah, sandbagging is a good way to keep your rep up because losing becomes meaningless when you aren't trying. Maybe if he didn't sandbag he would have been shown to be not as invincible as everyone thought and his godly myth wouldn't exist today.

    Man, this resonated with me so hard. I played pretty seriously from 07-13 or so. I was only regionally ranked at one point, somewhere in the top 25 of the southeast. took a set off lambchops once, one off fullmetal. Made it out of pools most times, but never placed super high. This game and the time I spent playing it means so much to me. Me and my partner from a small nowhere town talking about strategies and watching the MLG videos. The experiences we shared travelling and meeting people. The time our small nothing crew travelled to huntsville Alabama, and the tourney hosts bought our friend a hello kitty birthday cake and we sang happy birthday. We had our own small crew rivalry with PCB, and we'd travel back and forth. When we were first starting out we'd upload videos of our terrible play. Posting on smash boards. I remember when brawl came out, and our region had the first real big melee tournament and EVERYONE came. I watched M2K at the biggest tourney since brawl at 3 AM wake everyone up and tech chase people with shiek, claiming he knew exactly where someone was going by frame differences as soon as they hit the ground and pausing to show us. I remember those long nights when it was just me and my friend, practicing. And as we practiced and sharpened our rivalry talking about life, love, just... everything in general. I don't talk to anyone in my little crew anymore. We've drifted apart, but I know that those experiences shaped me into the person I am today. The lessons I learned about drive, victory, defeat. The friends I made, the ones I lost, and the ones that stayed. I learned about self discipline, and just more about my personality and who I actually was. All from a game that was never meant to do this.
    I miss those times. Thanks for bringing them all back to me one more time.

    Okay, so people make a joke that this is an anime, but episodes 1-6 fit so well together it is actually like an anime arc.
    The first episode sets up the rivalry with Azen and Ken
    Episode 2 begins to add new characters (like Isai and Captain Jack) while expanding on other characters (Chillin, Azen, and Ken).
    Episode 3 shows how well of teammates Ken and Isai are, while showing Isai’s own mini arc. He’s in love with a girl who doesn’t feel the same way about him. He never tries except when he teams, then one day at a tournament that he’d probably not try at and give it all to Ken, he hears the girl he loves cheering him on, causing him to try and ends up defeating his partner, for the first and only time.
    Episode 4 sets up Ken’s character arc (him going through a lot for being the best player) while setting up people who want to see him fall off his throne (Like Wife for example) along with a mysterious challenger (Bombsoldier) fighting against Ken and almost defeating him, and he inspires many others along the way. Not only does Ken retain his #1 status, but he also gains an ally (Chudat) and his only real rival (Azen) retires
    Episode 5 sets up Ken’s first real challenger other than Azen, this being PC Chris, with him losing a tournament for the first time in a while. While this gives H2YL hope, it’s quickly thwarted by PC getting annihilated at MLG Dallas. This sets up PC Chris’ character; he wants to have fun, and hopefully win along the way. Ken and PC have one last match, at MLG Anaheim, with Ken defeating PC again, securing his title as the best.
    Episode 6 introduces KoreanDJ, the player with no fear. After being inspired by his dad, who managed to fight off death from a near-fatal car accident, became one of the best players in a short amount of time. He works up the ladder and even manages to defeat Ken. Azen comes out of retirement and he defeats Chudat and KoreanDJ to win his first MLG in a while. We’re also introduced to Mew2king, who will be more prominent next season. Azen finally manages to defeat Ken and also gains another MLG title. We also see Ken burning out and Chudat going through a conflict about if he can actually let himself win. Finally, we have the final tournament. Here’s the recap of each character:
    Ken - The King of Smash who wants one last tournament to win before he retires
    Azen - Ken’s rival who wants to secure his title as Ken’s equal
    Isai - The fighter who doesn’t unleash his potential unless his friends are on the line (or unless he’s trying to impress the girl he loves)
    PC Chris - A rising star who wants to prove himself a good player after coming short of his previous wins and not meeting expectations
    KoreanDJ - A Fearless warrior who will do whatever it takes to beat an opponent, and whose dream it is to become the best.
    Mew2king - A new challenger who is fairly unpopular and not much is known about him other than he’s not very well liked at this point
    Chudat - Wanting to finally prove that he’s not second fiddle to Ken and Azen
    Hugs - An old ally of Ken’s who managed to make it to the finals
    In the end, many of the arcs come to an end - Chudat is taken out early, Isai, Hugs, and Mew2king are defeated, Azen is bested by his rival once again, Ken is taken out by KoreanDJ, and the final showdown happes: The Fearless Warrior verses The First Challenger. In the end, PC wins, securing his place as a top player and not falling short of his old wins. While Ken and PC are content with their placings, KDJ is suffering because of his loss. Before they have time to prepare themselves for the next year, MLG drops Melee, and season 1 comes to a close.
    Sorry for the long comment! Just thought this was too much like an anime for it to not be written down. The reason I stopped after episode 6 is because 7-9 don’t really fit together like the others do. Feel free to reply with the other episodes if you’d like!

    I've probably rewatched this video 5 times all the way through now, even just as background noise because the storytelling and visuals it creates are great, I've never been in the competitive smash scene but it just brings me joy to listen to others stories about it.

    I wish I was a part of this, touring across the US, meeting new people, goofing off, having fun, joining the hype, being tired as fuck on long car rides and plane rides from one side of the country to the other... All to play one of the greatest fighting games on Earth with friendly rivals and new buddies. Watching the game grow up and evolve alongside the hundreds of thousands if not millions of players in the US and worldwide.
    It’s like a dream.

I grew up with pdd-nos (form of autism) WIthout not knowing it. I Alway's experiencing things differently then others, which makes it almost imposible to connect with others and yourself. I think Isai had that to, without getting diagnosed. What the docu tolled about him being a good team player en being better when he played in a team is exactly what happend to me also. In a Group-Timetrial in cycling. Its a long docu but i thing i am going to watch the rest of this because its indeed very special.

      With how respectful they are, it'd be a great place for him to cut back and just have fun playing. Though, I can't say anything about the skill of Japanese competitive players, so I'm not sure his skill level would make a good fit. (Maybe SSB4 since he's not god tier competitive in that one)

    • @Mashukoria
      @Mashukoria 9 ปีที่แล้ว
