Melee is a Competitive Masterpiece.

When it comes to competitive fighting games, there aren't many that can assume the title as a true masterpiece. To say the least, the legacy this game holds is one worthy of an entire lifetime. Today we'll dive into a true masterpiece of competitive gaming with an analysis of the fan-favorite Smash game: Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube. I hope you enjoy!

Who cares if this isn't the first vid on the topic. No legendary tale is told just once.

A lot of people don't personally participate in competitive melee, but love spectating it

The quality of this video is pretty incredible for a channel of this size. This straight up felt like a mini documentary, good work. Also that montage at the end was sick.

Nicely done! Really entertaining watch!

Yo, nice video! I'm always glad to see someone making a new Melee intro video. There are a few things I wanted to correct, whether for your own knowledge or anyone just reading the comments:

-Hungrybox and Armada did not play in grand finals of Evo 2014, Mango won that year's tournament over Hungrybox
-Evo 2013 was not actually Nintendo's first time interfering negatively with the competitive Melee scene. They stifled tournament growth as early as the MLG era/golden age.
-Axe has never used Falco as a counterpick for Sheik or Falcon specifically, currently his only real counterpick character is Fox vs Jigglypuff
-Mango is actually quite far from the most technical Melee player. He was known for many years to refuse implementing ledgedash and shield drop into his gameplay
-I have to assume this was written before the Smash World Tour 2022 shutdown that Nintendo just did a few weeks ago because they are absolutely not any more at peace with the competitive scene

That all said, I really do mean it when I say this was a good video. I'd be glad to watch more Melee content from you in the future!

Quality of the video was soo good, i pretty much knew all this info already but amazing recap and awesome video, keep up the great work!!

[bhad]

Even if I already know everything about the game, the way you edited your video and was capable of explaning many things in less than 30 min is incredible ! Very good work :) !!

Great video man! Been getting into smash recently and it’s been enjoyable watching videos like these

[LinktheDragonslayer]

It brings a tear to my eye :, ) great vid and its been such a great journey this game has been on

[Jayluna]

Great video! You can tell a lot of work was put into this and I love reliving the tale of Melee

[Cyberpunk]

You really can't compare Melee to Ultimate. The amount of control in Melee compared to Ultimate are massively superior. I could take a nap in ultimate after pressing the jump button.

Stumbled on this masterpiece of a video, thank you!

[gloop]

Amazing documentary! One small tiny little nitpick is that you mentioned Sheik prefers stages without platforms when talking about stage counter picks. Sheik actually looooves platforms generally and FD is one of the strongest counterpicks agaisnt her. Other than that great video!

[Aarlaeoss]

Nintendo is not quite yet at peace with melee

[WiiGi]

This video was amazingly well made. Keep it up dude!

[jhelp_the_fig]

Absolutely goated vid. I’m just starting to get into the melee scene and this is a perfect intro to the game for newcomers.

[Mileena]

I can't wait for more people to find this game. Our community is producing some of the most well made and best informed content i've ever seen. On top of us now having the best online/lag free mp experience of any smash game. I think melee in the coming year has potential to be huge.

2:33 "bruh get tf off me I wanna hug this other dude smh"

[ImNotSoLegit]

Man really just re-narrated the smash documentary in a condensed fashion

[zachw]

Great video, yeah the topic has been talked about before but you presented it in a fresh way.
