[@TF2_Roz257]

I love how everytime armada said “brother” the whole chat would say “B R U D D E R”

[@vgrepairs]

The chat is half the experience tbh

I love that melee has given us two of the best gaming docs ever.

[@hansjuker8296]

King of Kong is way better.

[@wesjaguar]

So many of these dudes are straight up legends.

[@hansjuker8296]

So many of these dudes aren't straight.

PP and I are so much more similar than I ever realized. It was like I was listening to someone tell me the story of my own life. I completely understand everything he describes, and my heart breaks for him. I almost wish I would have tried harder at Melee, become a good enough player that he and I could have crossed paths in a meaningful way.

I think this doc has some pacing issues. I get that he wanted to tell the stories of a handful of the gods as well as explain a handful of the metagame mechanics & then more fully explore mindsets and mental game, but there are just way too many slow cuts, filler footage sequences, and generally just a very slow speed of storytelling. There is also quite a bit of fluff content that really doesn't feel like it adds much. It makes it hard to be as invested as I was with the first doc.

[@Steak514]

I agree with everything you just said and also want to point out the overall arch or path this doc follows is strange and unclear. I enjoy as a smash fan, but if I wasn't, I wouldn't have any idea what's going on. It meanders and focuses so much on Armada and PP but then randomly shoves in other people. Also Leffen isn't a villain, the smash community needs more masculinity. If Leffen is masculine for people that's a problem.

[@ao1778]

The pacing is weird af indeed. Jumps all over the place. But the worst thing of all is the audio mixing. The announcers are twice as loud as everything else in the video.

[@Adrian.Christ]

I'm way out of the loop with the melee scene, but wasn't this supposed to come out years ago? This feels like a rough first edit. Definitely all over the place trying to do way too much imo. Although I'm enjoying it so far as of episode 4, I have trouble seeing casual viewers getting into this

[@FlamingZelda3]

@@Adrian.Christ If i recall correctly, it was release second half of 2020. He began work on it as soon as the first doc finished I believe. there were years where he released teasers and I think he had intended to release it in 2015/16 but it kept getting pushed back. It sounds to me like it had a troubled production cycle & he suffered from having a goal which was too big and too vague.

Leffen is a villain

[@vgrepairs]

That "trashtalking godslayer villain" was the most interesting thing about Melee by a longshot. Stakes and competition breathe life into sports. When the USSR dominated the olympics and the USA was fighting to win gold it made for a worldwide grand spectacle. We all love it when Germany and Russia compete, when the USA and Japan/Mexico compete. Melee with nothing but the 5 gods is like the olympics with ONLY NATO countries... chill, non-salted, and respectful. But boring.

[@electromagneticlemon]

Honestly I think the problem with this doc is how the scene evolved since 2015. Apex was an ending for PP, and a new beginning for everyone else involved, with really interesting storylines. Also, PP is getting interviewed clearly when he is having some mental issues and I think it's affecting his disposition throughout. I think this really should have been just the armada doc, and it would have worked really well if it ended at evo instead of apex, or if the story ended at genesis 2

[@vgrepairs]

Mango, armada, and PP agreed the ending was a fitting conclusion. It was the 5 gods and leffen's last notable time together at a major.
