Super Smash Bros. Melee has been played at a high level for over two decades. New players, techniques and even characters have risen to unthinkable heights over the years, but because of this rapid improvement we’re left with an obvious question — has Melee reached the ceiling?

Well, no, not even close. Donkey Kong is a good character now.

The fact that one of the counters to Ice Climbers is for DK to kidnap a woman is shockingly appropriate for him

[TheRealMewking]

there are no frame 6 standing grabs, just frame 7

[Amaling]

The development of melee post-slippi release is one of the most incredible things in competitive gaming history

[AugustDwight]

6:11 DK is "a hybrid between a grappler and a zoner." So...a Groaner.

[cherrybng]

Melee tech names in the 2000s:
The Mangle, the ocean man
Melee tech names in 2020S THE KIDNAP, THE ABDUCTION, THE WATERBOARD

[its_hokori]

What people aren't mentioning, is the fact that we need to thank Rishi's jungle jam for this evolution of the meta

[krubbington]

I love how abducting Nana is legit just a viable strategy in the Ice Climbers matchup. Not only is it hilarious but it's very fitting of DK's character too

[thesuntitan]

I fucking low how Donkey Kong is a common topic of video essays now

[Marisu_Prada]

15:32 Of course DK's winning strategy involves kidnapping the damsel, some things never change

[uppedtrout]

why tf is everyone in the melee community so good at editing

[lifeiswonderful]

Remember in 2009 when everyone thought everyone would only be playing fox in 20xx

[Jinju___]

Bro really played MF DOOM in the beginning and thought we wouldn’t notice

[jacksfacts]

Two things, one is that wusstunes deserves a shoutout for being the first to document Dk's rise 16 months ago in the greatest detail, 2nd is that I'm very bad at melee and barely understand what's happening in the fights, to see the reaction speed and strategy in slow motion in the Junebug vs Salt match was insane to see.

[craigcrusade]

5:15 I love how you're suprised at Mario being 5th but don't even comment on Zelda being at 6th

[drachma]

DK stealing your girl as a legit strat has got to be one of the funniest things.

[TheOmniBlade]

AsumSaus and Walt uploads in the same week? We’re so back.

[GhostMadi]

walt saying this video is "lighter on editing" meanwhile it still is absolutely eye candy to watch

[VichinoDDA]

31:00 @arJunebugSmash doing exactly 9 charges while celebrating is just hilarious

[GwangBang]

That dk version of mf doom was sick in the intro
