Once again, I know nothing about this scene or this game, but the way this was put together and filmed made me watch a 30+ minute video on it. Great work
+Michael Yabut They both helped each other out a lot, they used to be reaaally close friends. Then they had a falling out, I forgot the cause. But PP and Mang0 are homies.
wow amazing job at pointing this together the music and everything was on point. sometimes during videos like this the music doesn't fit the rhythm or it over sells whats about to go down but you really really did a good job on this. not a single second did I feel like it was out of touch.
First and foremost, this game is beautifully crafted. The artistry of the characters and levels are superb. The games music is a collection of classical game masterpieces. It's incredibly fun, and I've never met a person who played this game and regretted it (except maybe hax after mango beat him using falcon). Anyway, this game has the highest level of technical skill, and muscle memory that I have ever seen. There is no cap for learning new moves (the intricacies of a combo, d.I, recoveries, tech in place, shine out of shield, perfect shine spike, wave dash dance, multishine, etc )...games like street fighter, mortal combat, killer instinct, MVC have a learning cap. They are fantastic games in there own right but rely more on reading your opponents. With melee each match is unique and dynamic; I would describe melee as a perpetual ostentatious display of speed, maneuverability, prophylaxis, and ingenuity. I compare melee to a game of chess. Melee like chess will withstand the test of time. It's the type of game that any one can play, but no one can perfect. Therefore, there will always be a community.
I know some of you almost shed a tear! The music, along with the gameplay and just Mang0. I still remember when I watched G3 and everyone in the chat was going crazy and blowing it up. Wish I could've been there in person.
Quite possibly my favorite video to this day. Beautifully made, and so inspirational to the players of melee who stopped believing in Mang0. I'll be looking forward to the rest of the series, maybe seeing him talk about battle of the 5 gods next?
+SonicWinDX I was so hype and moved because I watched Genesis 3 on stream and it was like rewatching all the hype moments of Mang0, my favorite smasher, but with hype music and good commentary from Mang0 himself.
Riley Sheehy Ash has done a lot of crazy shit, he's been the chosen one, fought off Mewtwo, etc. He's been through a lot, faced the best of the best, and although he's not the pokemon league champion like Mango was, Mango is kinda going through that tough time of being the best again. He's good, but Armada is beating him everywhere atm. Plus, Leffen reminds me of Gary way too much.
Poor M2K. I was furious he got knocked out by Nintendude. He just couldn't get rid of Nana. He was so scared of getting wobbled, that he forgot to focus on Nintendude's poor playing style and his over commitment to just getting wobbles.
Did anyone else see the last game of Mang0 vs. Plup live and screamed and started shaking when the side b happened? I got so hype when I saw that. Also, I was just glad to see a live tournament and that's why I watched the rest of the tournament after that. Nintendude vs. Mang0 was a massacre tho.
Yo the Pegboard track playing during the Mang0 v Axe runback was fire emojis okay hand. There was a bit of time between uploads, but with this sort of quality, it's worth. Fantastically done.
+MisterZebra42 i think that although this is great, the smash documentary is better overall. although this is really only one episode into the series, i just think it won't be AS good as the documentary but it'll be good in it's own way
+Kevin Reynolds Don't get me wrong, I love the Smash doc, but it does have some questionable moments. Also, I don't remember the cinematography and filming quality to be quite this fantastic.
Alex running up to mango after he beat hbox warms my heart, I would kill to have such a close group of friends who you can constantly train with at smash. who doesn't love the norwalk boys.
you guys need to work on the audio mix for next episode, found myself turning the volume up to hear mang0 in interviews then down because the music right after was so much louder
+Kyle Weis Definitely agreee this is higher production quality, but gotta give the doc credit for the limited resources it was working with at the time. Kinda parallels the Smash scene today imo, working from the ground up! We can appreciate both!
Mango's a fucking hero man I wish he would have won the five gods tournament, simply saying 'I won the Five Gods tournament' would make me feel like the alpha god. Props to hungrybox nonetheless.
I know this is supposed to showcase Mang0, but I must say that 11:21 - 11:28 is the reason why it's so difficult to dislike Plup. Mang0 strategically SD's to get the spike. Plup is smiling, realizes he has to save himself, doesn't save himself, realizes he lost the set, and guess what? He's still smiling. Even at 10:53 when he doesn't continue the chaingrab and is believed to have messed up he's smiling. Love seeing players have fun playing no matter the situation.
Once again, I know nothing about this scene or this game, but the way this was put together and filmed made me watch a 30+ minute video on it. Great work
You should definitely give it a shot. This scene has so many story lines going, it's very entertaining.
Once you get into melee, you won't go back to another game.
+Cubeologist as a pretty decent speedcuber, i must say for me personally
smash> cubing
btw, nice vids
watch the series called smash brothers
+Cubeologist If you ever have like 4 hours to kill, go watch The Smash Brothers
To the editors and videographers i solute you. The shots in this series are outstanding. Also shoutouts to the kid for being a legend.
+DareToShine This video was simply perfect. This is how you make a star in any community.
At the end of the PPMD set, after they shake hands, does Kevin say "win it" ?
yes
+Christian Hart something along those lines ya. Looks like PPMD is also a Mango fan
+Christian Hart There's history of Mang0 semi coaching PPMD on his way up the ranks I think?
of course they're super bros and when my pp loses I go on mango or west
+Michael Yabut They both helped each other out a lot, they used to be reaaally close friends. Then they had a falling out, I forgot the cause. But PP and Mang0 are homies.
I can't fathom the thought of Mango retiring. I just can't
that split second grin at the crowd at 15:41 is so fucking hype.
Mango's like "Yeah I just won this shit boys."
THis is so well done C9Cassidy props.
This is incredible. Absolutely love this series.
The hug at the end has to be the physical embodiment of what melee is about. Pure love for the games the players and the rivalries.
Amazing!
+GimR i know right
+Soulstriker27 No more bearrd:( QQ rip
+GimR now if mango played puff this would be the best ever :D.
lol
18:38 happens
PPMD approaches Mango gracefully and whispers into his ear, "Nice back air."
inb4 ppmd is love, ppmd is life
wow amazing job at pointing this together the music and everything was on point. sometimes during videos like this the music doesn't fit the rhythm or it over sells whats about to go down but you really really did a good job on this. not a single second did I feel like it was out of touch.

well said
Your text is also beautifully crafted. Made me realize once again what I love about this game. Thank you
Wow. This was shot and edited so well. Major props.
I know some of you almost shed a tear! The music, along with the gameplay and just Mang0. I still remember when I watched G3 and everyone in the chat was going crazy and blowing it up. Wish I could've been there in person.

+SonicWinDX Since I'm guessing you didn't watch all the way through. At the very end there's a "episode 3 coming soon" with footage of 5 gods. so HYPE
Medic Oh, I watched up until like the last 30 seconds. Not the smartest thing lol, hyped up now.
+SonicWinDX I was so hype and moved because I watched Genesis 3 on stream and it was like rewatching all the hype moments of Mang0, my favorite smasher, but with hype music and good commentary from Mang0 himself.
27:00 "Mango represents the side of the game with endless possibilities." NEO, the Never Ending Opponent.
17:10 Music name
Karma Fields - Build the Cities (ft. Kerli)
Rewatching these in 2022 and Mang0 is still goated.
16:58 was so dope. music transition was perfect. These videos are done so well!
The music versus armada omg "it's all or nothing... If I go down I'll go down screaming" so mango
The Melee scene is like a freakin' anime, and Mang0 is the Ash Ketchum of it all. Don't sleep on the GOAT, 2016 is C9's year!
No
he's more like Red
+WIZA327 I mean, I would agree with you, but Ash kind of sucks
Riley Sheehy Ash has done a lot of crazy shit, he's been the chosen one, fought off Mewtwo, etc. He's been through a lot, faced the best of the best, and although he's not the pokemon league champion like Mango was, Mango is kinda going through that tough time of being the best again. He's good, but Armada is beating him everywhere atm.
Plus, Leffen reminds me of Gary way too much.
kiko Uyous Red IS the pokemon master though. Currently, Armada holds that title, until this years Evo though ;D
Cassidy is an amazing editor. Good job, great series.
Poor M2K. I was furious he got knocked out by Nintendude. He just couldn't get rid of Nana. He was so scared of getting wobbled, that he forgot to focus on Nintendude's poor playing style and his over commitment to just getting wobbles.

He's back...
This mini documentary (so to speak) has been beautifully crafted so far. Love the transitions and the camera shots. Good work C9 team
The idea of Mango not playing in a few years BibleThump
+Nibblenub We'll have Baby Mang0 don't worry
+Graham Arnold baby is going to be hype af
EVO won't be the same without mang0
+Nibblenub i would quit meele for ever im not even joking
Yo the Pegboard track playing during the Mang0 v Axe runback was fire emojis okay hand. There was a bit of time between uploads, but with this sort of quality, it's worth. Fantastically done.
This is my favorite Esport doc of all time and the video that sparked my drive to do it myself.
24:55 Hungrybox the ultimate cockblocker. LOL.
xD
This was really well put together and it gives us a insight of what mang0 was thinking at that very moment
Mang's knuckles are hurt at 10:14. Dude must have been pissed at that Axe loss, can't say I blame him when the stakes were that high.
The production quality makes me speechless.
this is series is so esports, but its kinda nice. mango's way more candid but at times it's hard to tell how much of it is sincere.
I think the real story we want to hear is: how does the goat get his hair so flawless?
"... I mean, I SD all the time, so ..." **fade out**
XD
The feels man.... makes me want to grind melee so hard
Damn, I'm loving the transition at 32:34
Holy shit. This is easily the best production quality out of anything smash-related.
+MisterZebra42 i think that although this is great, the smash documentary is better overall. although this is really only one episode into the series, i just think it won't be AS good as the documentary but it'll be good in it's own way
+Kevin Reynolds Don't get me wrong, I love the Smash doc, but it does have some questionable moments. Also, I don't remember the cinematography and filming quality to be quite this fantastic.
+MisterZebra42 this is definitely better cinematography but it also has a much larger budget too
This is really well done o.o Good job C9Cassidy!
Mang0 you are amazing! I'm gonna be sad the day he retires.
Wow...the use of music is just epic ! GJ to whoever made this.
+M. Hoeftii But you didnt mention every song in the description! What are all these epic songs called !?
My god, even putting my love for melee aside, this was such a genuinely well put together documentary. absolutely loved this. great job.
Alex running up to mango after he beat hbox warms my heart, I would kill to have such a close group of friends who you can constantly train with at smash. who doesn't love the norwalk boys.
This is almost as good as the documentary
That was brilliant! What a great way to tell the story of G3. Huge props C9!
you guys need to work on the audio mix for next episode, found myself turning the volume up to hear mang0 in interviews then down because the music right after was so much louder
AMAZING editing! Props to whoever edited this!
this is awesome.. I love the quality. Keep putting out more stuff like this @c9ggtv
Mango genesis was some of the best melee I've ever watched. Thank you cloud9 for this godly doc
This video was so professionally put together. Visually pleasing.
I love the editing and music choices for the games.
The music picked for this was fantastic. Thank you for a cool vid and the great music.
C9 CASSIDY
This was a fucking incredible video, like incredible incredible awesome most sick video ever. Big props
proud to be apart of the nation! excellent video ! looking forward to more , most def!
This was put together really well; loved it!
Anyone else come back 5 years later and watch this like once a year just for the godlike editting and storytelling?
Absolutely incredible. Fantastic work Cassidy.
Please more of this!!!!! My favorite youtube videos for sure!!!
18:55 the guy in the bottom right, speechless
Holy shit the Videos on this channel are so awesome, the lol series is great and this is just amazing
Love C9 and love Mango, he is one of the main causes I enjoy watching Melee tournaments. GOAT.
the music choice is incredibly good imo, it hypes so much!! :)
10:22 synchronized sweat wipe
idk why but i found this really funny :D
amazing quality and great job at telling the story
Amazing video production for an amazing player. Good shit C9
35:50 LMAO DID YOU SEE HOW MUCH SWEAT COMES OFF OF HIM WHEN HE DID THAT HAIR FLIP
+Darth Plagueis Dude even at low level locals with like less than 100 people if you play in finals you'll sweat like a bitch. I can't imagine G3 haha
So well done, thanks for doing this. Only thing is that the song choice for mango vs nintendude made me laugh haha. keep it up
VERY GOOD VIDEO. It's on the level of the smash documentary.
that's giving the Doc too much credit IMO. I love the doc, but this is much higher quality.
+Kyle Weis Definitely agreee this is higher production quality, but gotta give the doc credit for the limited resources it was working with at the time. Kinda parallels the Smash scene today imo, working from the ground up! We can appreciate both!
+Jason King yeah good point. The doc parallels the grass roots scene and this parallels esports
I remember watching these matches, and dear lord it was the best I've ever seen him play in a long time
Looking back at it, this would have been the perfect tournament if mango won
TheBeggies95 for you maybe but not for armada fans
I agree
This would've been the perfect tournament if Mew2King had won and Hax$ and Leffen had been in top 8.
Can't wait to see more from this series. We love you mango!!! Forever the GOAT
it s about time they make part 2
Outstanding. Thank you so much for this. Can't wait for more
@18:52 you can see PPMD say to mango, "win it"
Mango's a fucking hero man I wish he would have won the five gods tournament, simply saying 'I won the Five Gods tournament' would make me feel like the alpha god. Props to hungrybox nonetheless.
These Fox plays at 29:00... Just incredible.
WOW this series is AMAZING!
3:05. the way he says Hugs always cracks me up.
song at 15:36 ?
+Waterrrmelon Second this, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SONG
+LauKungPow Puppet - Without Me
+Robotic Autumn thanks!!
I love this
I LOVE YOU MANGO
Anyone else saw the Mang0 stream when we watched this episode? Haha, shit was lit.
+MarioBoss - Vainglory, Pokémon. the littest
Go on his stream, he streamed his reaction last friday i think.
One or two more good years he says
These documentaries are sick
The day Mang0 "retires", I think I'm gonna cry.
True, the day any top player retires, it will be a very sad day, be it Mang0, Mew2king, PPMD...
Can anyone tell me what the song is playing from 17:11 to 18:40? It isn't one of the 4 songs listed in the description.
+hockeymachine Build the Cities by KarmaFields
Yes, Mang0 faces a classic case of the Yerkes Dodson Law
18:50 nithe work
This is amazing, fantastic job
The music during the Mang0 PPMD set is on point. Yasss
+Michael Yabut nvm all the music they play is great
Kreygasm
Amazing video, really good work !
got the goose bumps when they zoomed in on armadas Sweden controller ngl
I know this is supposed to showcase Mang0, but I must say that 11:21 - 11:28 is the reason why it's so difficult to dislike Plup. Mang0 strategically SD's to get the spike.

Even at 10:53 when he doesn't continue the chaingrab and is believed to have messed up he's smiling. Love seeing players have fun playing no matter the situation.
i remember on a stream he said he's smiling all the time to hide his sadness
Mang0 will always be my favorite player!
Dude, during Mango vs PPMD, having "Build the Cities" suddenly drop in got me hype as hell.
this was amazing, Armada vs Mang0 the best rivalry of ALL time.
eden project at the end was absolutely perfect...
