If you ask me, some of the greatest stories in Melee are just singular sets. Regardless of the era of Smash you started playing in, there exists a deep appreciation of how the game, its techniques, and its most fierce rivalries have evolved over the years.
And in this 10-part documentary series, I’ll be taking a deep dive into some of the sets that have been considered by many to be the greatest.
These are Melee’s Greatest Hits.

Hey guys, this video just got copyright claimed. I used TH-cam's definitely not terrible feature to remove the claimed segment, so you may notice a bit of a jump cut towards the end of the video, and I apologize for that. I'm going to keep this up for now since a lot of you guys seem to like the video, but I'm exploring options to reupload. Still not sure what the best move is -- a claim on a project this involved hasn't happened to me in a long time, and it's the first time it's happened with YT as my actual job, so waking up to this was an awful feeling. In case this doesn't get resolved, here's my Patreon in the meantime if you can kick a buck www.patreon.com/turndownforwalt
Thanks again for supporting me and I'm so sorry about this.
Brainstorming ideas: you could re-upload and just add a chapter named "new re-upload section" or something like that, maybe? :)
Great videos! Thanks! I hope this YT situation is not affecting you a lot
Have you considered using Kofi instead of Patreon? The overall cost is much much lower.
@@xeno-eh4pq I actually don't know much about Kofi but I can definitely look into it if it can help out. Is it just a lower percentage take than Patreon? What other differences are there?
Afaik Patreon takes 8% per Donation vs Kofi just taking about 5 bucks per month. Which means you'll profit if you make more than ~60 bucks a month
@@xeno-eh4pq Oh wow. I think I'm on a legacy plan for Patreon which only takes 5% but that can still be a pretty sizable amount of flat vs. percentage. If I could transfer my current audience to Kofi I'll definitely consider it, just may be tough to get everyone to move

Scar voicing firebird sent me😂
Juggleguy and I were literally embracing on the edge of tears after game 4 😂
I was up in the balcony during this set and me and the stranger next to me hugged after game 4 😂
@@PooCrizzap that's awesome
I watch this match about once a month to remind myself why I love this game so much.
Dang, wasn't expecting to see you at a smash melee video
It was the first Melee match I had ever watched live. Came home from work, my buddy who introduced me to Melee said Genesis was on and I should tune in. Turned on Twitch. The match had just started. I have never played a match of Melee in my life. But have been a spectator for the last 6 or so years because of this match.
love your vids man
My professor in college told us to make a presentation in college and I literally made a video about this set and presented it in front of the class! There was one kid at the front who played SB4 and he was loosing his shit the whole set.
What I wanna know is how the rest of the class and your professor reacted
@@jonathanc3001 The video is actually on my YT profile. Most people were on their phones, but the professor seemed to be pretty interested in the concept of Esports. It was pretty sick to have at least one person understand the hype and insanity of the set despite never having played the game.
As a lifelong tennis & melee player, I’m so stoked to see I’m not the only one who loves the parallels between both pro scenes. I’m literally writing an essay for my friends on how similar the meta of pro smash is to high-level tennis. Well done TDFW!
Sounds interesting, you should link it to when you’re finished!
Would love to see that! Thank you so much!
Yes the two scenes were eerily similar for years. I've got a 10yo comment comparing Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Wawrinka, Murray to the 5 gods ^^
Is jannik sinner moky
@@calvindelvecchio7358 I love watching Sinner play, I have no idea what his melee comparison would be.
Whenever I see someone ask what the greatest Melee set of all time is, the first thing that always comes to mind is Mang0's Firebird on Pokemon Stadium
I wish I knew who it was playing, but there's an incredible Peach - Puff set that I regard as the best. I think turndownforwalt made a video on it.
It was HBox vs LoD. Turndownforwalt does have a video on it from 3 years ago
I got chills as soon as you said at the beginning “10 part documentary series.” Going to be an incredible look-back at some sets.
I was travelling in the US when G4 was on, and decided to travel to San Jose without my family or partner for the weekend to attend.
It remains without a doubt one of, if not the greatest weekends of my life, with this set being the peak. I didn't know a soul there, but that energy in the crowd truely brought everyone together. I was hugging random strangers left and right between the games.
Truely amazing how the energy brings everyone together
Now THAT is a thumbnail. Super excited for this!
This channel pivot is brilliant. Well done Walt, excited to see what else you got in the works for this year.
Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube
I was there for this. Life changing moment. I can still hear the mango cheers and feel the adrenaline. I was standing by the door next to JWittz, who was playing ROB in 4.
I’ll never forget where I was and what I was doing when I watched this set live. Core memory
In your house watching the set lol :p
@@xaviermcknight1510 I was playing Star Wars the old republic. Sitting in my garage. I can remember it like it was yesterday.
DUDE you articulated this beautifully, this was also a core memory for me, i remember it and reminisce to that time a lot
Tennis guy here - loved the video! I’ve always felt that Mango is the Federer of Melee. Both being the “flow state” player, with styles that many believe represent how the game is meant to be played. Both generate the same hype and are no doubt the faces of their respective craft as well.
I remember how I felt watching from Sweden. That year I had hosted several larger EU tournaments and the sheer amount of work meant I was kind of in a place where I was on the brink of taking a long break from the game. Then this set happened and that fire was not only reignited but arguably greater than ever.
Amazing work tdfw, your videos are criminally underrated.
Walt, this is quite possibly your best video yet. We can't WAIT for the rest of this series
one of my favorite lines of commentary of all time is Scar's "OH NO.. FOR LEFFEN". You can just hear his brain freaking out. (greatest commentary of all time series would be awesome too)
This is a really good video! If I might make a suggestion, when playing important clips of the game (like that Mango up b) it might work better to put in the audio and commentary and let the game speak for itself. I feel like hearing the crowd reaction and seeing the clips play out would help to highlight stuff like that.
For sure

This will be a 10-part documentary series detailing some of the greatest Melee sets of all-time. I really hope you enjoy watching as much as I liked making this one. What other matches do you have on your list?
All of the Kevin's watching this video 😮
I remember the day after this set happened I showed it to someone at my work who knew nothing about competitive melee, and eve he was blown away by the story-telling through the gameplay. Thanks for reminding me of it!
A Melee video where you also shout out Roger and Rafa - I am the target audience exactly
I remember seeing this live in-person and the energy in the room at the end of game four was incredible. A magical set indeed.
There's a very short bit of awkwardness in the script of this one but I think you did a great job of telling the story behind this set. I encourage everybody to watch it online themselves, the mood was electric!
One of the few sets/tournaments I got to see live, I still lose my mind when I re-watch the set
great video, cant wait to see the rest of the series
I love how this channel always provides non-melee context for setting, themes, and timelines. It really helps ground the story in the real world
Absolutely amazing analysis video! Loved it so much I remember watching the vod for this right after it went live and just getting hyped at my desk. I can’t wait for the series! Keep up the good content!!
I had my eyes full of tears end of chapter 3/start of chapter 4
Since 2017 i've been a spectator of Smash (Melee first and Ultimate then, more than often watching both now) and watching this has made me realize my attachment to this series and how many memories i have with it
This is so sick dude. This is the content everyone dreams of and keep the community alive. Kudos bro.
when you talk about the in person experience i thought of day thatt i was watching from home the jmook win genesis
i watched everything live on twitch , i was alone at like 4 am
when he landed the famous combo on ibdw i physicly jump from my bed , screaming with no sound coming out
and that was one man alone at 4 am
there was a crowd of like 400 people in the same state some thousand of kilometers away
that moment melee was not poetry , it was gaming distiled to perfection
walt this video is fantastic. i love your long form videos and its great to see you in a place where you're able to work on some. "as part of a 10 part series" made me pop off.
What's funny is that this was followed by one of the greatest Grand Finals beatdowns in Melee history, where Armada 3-0d Mang0 in grands in 9 minutes with 2 2 stocks and a 3 stock. Just goes to show how insane Armada was.
awesome storytelling, editing, and narration. best video i’ve watched in a while. congrats on creating something beautiful and of high caliber.
Ok but what about Chris Best vs Net1234?? Easily the set of all time
This is so real
This is an awesome series idea!!! Can’t wait for all of these!
I still finding myself rewatching this set every so often
If I had a nickel every time a professional video essay compared a set of meelee to a match in tennis I'd have two nickels, which isn't alot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Considering how often people used to recommend the inner game of tennis to melee players, I can't say I'm too surprised
man, when I saw this video in my feed I thought it was something that happened at this year's genesis and i was so mad that i missed it. Glad that wasn't the case. Great timing on the release, and well done Walt!
I saw the game live on stream and remembered I had school the next day, the tournament ended at 2am my time but it was all worth it because of this set.
Amazing video, remember watching this set live on Twitch and I was going wiiiiiild, what a crazy Up B lmao
Thanks for the content Walt, hope you continue this ‘Greatest Sets’ series, loads of amazing individual stories that need remembering
God. This is one of the most well constructed and edited smash videos I've ever seen.
cant wait for this series, cant imagine all the work you've already put in for this and i know it will go beyond expectations
This is a good video idea. This is an absolute classic set. Very happy to see you cover it.
this is an incredible video from top to bottom, love every second of work you put into this
The voice over and editing of this video is amazing! Keep up with the great vids!! You’ll go far
Your videos hit different Walt. You have gotten into such a groove, love you brother!
Walt you straight killed it with this one. Your editing is reaching top notch. I hope this spreads around - the world needs to witness Melee.
Genesis 4 is one of the first tournaments I ever watched live on Twitch, along with Big House 6. Seeing this set in person must've been beyond incredible.
bruh the videos just keep getting better and better, great job
Great video man, looking forward to the others
Super stoked for this series Walt! Keep it comin'!
I love this set so much! Awesome idea for a series!
This was the first competitive melee set I'd ever seen! years after being obsessed with the game as a kid and checking in what was happening. Didn't even know who was playing who, but the thrill of it started my curiosity into the scenes history and have been following ever since. Now recently have finally become involved in competing myself.
LET’S GOOOOOO!!!!! What an absolutely banging series, can’t wait to get the boys round to watch the next one
So damn good walt! I can't wait for the next part in the series.
Walt, I’m halfway through this video, but this is your best work. Wow.
Keep up the good work. These videos are legit streaming service/documentary levels of quality. Appreciate you showing your passion for the scene.
Appreciate this series. As Melee dwindles down and fades from the spotlight, the historians and storytellers become increasingly important to its legacy.
Need another one of these asap
ill never forget this set ever, just had to be there
The sports analogies are sending me rn. This video is so well done.
Awesome vid. Im here for this series!
To this day, this is the only set that I remember exactly where I was when I saw it. Sitting at Radjunk in Pensacola, the whole tourney I was in stopped to watch both Mango Leffen sets from G4. Love this game.
Great editing Walt, that was truly a masterpiece
The last two videos have been some of the best in years. Really good shit Walt and team
Glad I also feel the same about seeing a tournament in person vs at home. The energy and atmosphere you get is so great and makes the games all the more exciting to watch.
Also, I'm Kevin. So I'll guess I'll be getting some of that merch now.
I neeeeeed a full Chart Party style video from you Walt!
One thing I've noticed, as well as being in person to witness amazing Melee, is watching amazing moments with friends, can be just as exciting and memorable.
I wasn't there, but watching Plup beat Armada with all the homies after a tournament will never leave me
One of my favorite youtube videos ever! Great essay!
The production in these videos is nuts!! Keep it up!!
i just rewatched this set yesterday wow
You probably know this but just wanted to say that everything about your videos is on point. Great editing and writing throughout. Thank you for making videos.
I'm such a major tennis fan so seeing the Fedal references I am in love.
Phenomenal video once again. I recently spent about a week going through a lot of melee's history for most iconic sets. I don't know if everyone else feels the same, but I really hope some doubles sets make it into this series. The rivalry between PewFat and team UGS is as compelling as any singles story.
Such a great video which goes through a large scope to explain its contend in details, thank you, really
Very well made, I'm so proud of you
Love this type of video, it would be awesome to see a vid on Royal Flush grands!
THIS VIDEO ESSAY WAS ACTUALLY ART THANK YOU FOR MAKING ART WHILE RECOGNIZING ART, YOUVE UNINTENTIONALLY MADE ART INCEPTION
Masterful work once again Walt.
THIS CONTENT! LETS GO DUDE! SO SICK! WAS BORN 94, NEED I SAY MOREé
0:01 now that I think about it there's probably some crazy storylines in competitive slapping as well.
Banger. This shit got me mad hype to play some Smash, and I don't even play Melee.
The intro is so peak
it's about time a video was made on this set. i remember watching genesis 4 in bed late at night in highschool. i told my friends the next day about this set and how amazing it was.
If I can go back in time to when my younger self watched the Smash Brother’s Doc when it first came out, I’d tell my younger self that the documentaries and content to come are unmatched.
I NEED to see a video like this about armada vs leffen at paragon Orlando
watching it live was WILD
So cool that you used the Federer vs Nadal reference. Their 2008 Wimbledon match was so good the is a documentary on it!
One of my most memorable moments at a live smash event.
this is gonna be sick, looking forward to more
man im loving this series, seriously good stuff
this channel needs 10x the amount of views it's getting
bro saw the new mang0 doc and now he's got a new standard to beat lolol. great work so far, man
Your glowup is unreal. Keep it pushing
Federer’s return to form in 2017 was legendary and it’s sick to see it linked to Melee. Awesome video.
What’s funny is Mango probably would disagree with this being the best set
HELL YEAH what a series, can't wait for more
Walt this was tight. Incredible work , loved it
Yoooooooo its not even my birthday ! Thanks Walt !!
Any video that reminds me of Jon Bois’ Pretty Good series is a good video to me. Great stuff Walt
as always the editing is very on point
