Ganondorf's model was taken directly from the Spaceworld 2000 Gamecube demo, and he "talked" to Link in that demo, seems like Ganon having a modeled mouth in Melee may be further showing where his model came from.

[@KairuHakubi]

he and link sure looked a lot uglier in that demo though, I think the lighting and/or texturing is much improved. But yeah his outfit and that sword in his taunt, all from that.

[@KairuHakubi]

@@brandonwilliams6119 so you think that's why they used the spaceworld models? because it would have taken longer to make a more OoT-accurate Ganondrof from scratch?

Interesting fact about the character designs: when Sakurai was developing Super Smash Bros Melee The characters didn't make their appearance on the GameCube yet. So he took the designs from the N64 era and gave them a realism look. My favorite design is the Melee Mario one

Does this mean if melee was delayed by a few years, we could have some sort of cursed GameCube brawl?

That's right!

Can you imagine the terror of having to look at Mr. G&W in 3D as his opponent? He looks like he's a half second away from unhinging his jaw and unleashing some kind of eldritch horror

[@Falkuzrules]

If you saw him in 3D in that side-facing pose you wouldn't even be able to tell what he's doing 90% of the time. Like, did he just pull out a bomb or a bell? Smash characters rely entirely on the eyes of their player!

Should have done an intermission joke. "We've been through a lot of character geometry in the last 2 minutes, let's just hang out, catch our breath, and decompress for a while." [camera slowly pans around the stage for a solid 2 minutes while playing one of the more peaceful songs from the stage]

It was a rice ball. Didn't you hear him? Or do you still call them jelly donuts?

17:57 , Don't lie, I know a jelly filled donut when I see one

[@cvanims]

Just a guess, but all the unseen details in the trophies (GCN model, Olimar's nose, Luigi's hair) are probably there because their trophies started out as their intended use (ie: GCN tech demo, Pikmin, and Luigi's Mansion), only edited to preserve on polygons. Olimar's nose sticks out to me, because that patch seems like it might be the anchor point for bouncing effects for his Pikmin animation move set. Luigi's head was fully modeled in Luigi's Mansion for the times that he takes his hat off, and the GCN was probably just used in renders.

[@rainbowspongebob]

Cool

[@TrueYankeeFan]

I personally won't be attending either of those conventions, but just wanna say congratulations on the success this channel has had. I first subbed back when you were at about 15K, so seeing how far it's come in really inspiring to see.

[@krung_]

according to 4kids

[@sharpester7277]

That was a neat 4Kids joke.

[@SimnaibnSind]

Something not included: Ness' lowpoly model is loaded underneath his normal model at all time. You can see the pointiness of his lowpoly shoes poking thru his normal shoes if you look closely on any color Ness except red....because the low poly model of red Ness has no feet!

[@DootNootem]

Their entire low poly models aren't constantly active. Neutral Ness lacks low-poly feet, and his universal costume model visibility table doesn't have an entry for the remaining costumes' low-poly feet, therefore the game renders them all the time! Although the characters' full models are in fact loaded during gameplay, this table is used to tell which parts of the model are to be rendered as low-poly or high-poly. If there are any undefined objects, the engine renders them all the time.

[@streeties]

Lol, Simna

[@Schimnesthai]

Shesez moved outside the boundaries of his previous city! o: What a dedicated man

[@mariotaz]

He does. You have to load up Melee with DK. Den go to advanture mode and beat it. Then you shoot all the credits. Go to VS and Select DK green on Controller Port 3. Do his up taunt 3 times. Go to adventure mode with thegreen DK, then beat advanture mode again. Then go to VS and select DK on that cranky stage. You be fighting against him and he kills you.

[@3dmarth]

Back in the day, one of my friends pointed out that Jigglypuff's eyes are always open in its reflection (in Fountain of Dreams), even while it's sleeping. After looking more, we figured out that this was because the reflections were all based on low-poly models, though it's really hard to see, unless you play in Giant Melee with the items set so it spawns lots of mushrooms. These days, thanks to emulation, you can play in 4K to get crisp reflections, even on a low-res screen.

[@spimbles]

holy crap, did you actually say "5 years"..? geez, man. that was the video that put you on my radar. i cant believe its been 5 years... i graduated from both middle and high school in that time lol thats so wild. im glad youre still kickin it yo

10:20 For the squirtle shell with the hole in it, do you think Nintendo just recolored a koopa shell to save time? That’s what I would’ve done.

[@wildstarfish3786]

maybe but according to another comment most of the models were reused from existing models so the squirtle model would have likely come from pokemon stadium which would have had a reason to texture the hole

[@I.rod.2022]

This video was so interesting. Melee was always wrapped in this mysterious vibe because of it development.

[@chocotokenxreturns6126]

Right!! And the internet wasn't that big, or advanced back then. Lack of social media too. It's like digging into an undiscovered gold mine.

[@MegaStunfiskandHat]

The pokemon trophies are really detailed because they're ripped directly from pokemon stadium 2

[@Sientir]

I remember being so excited for Melee to come out...so much anticipation for it! And yet, this episode made it clear to me that I'd forgotten a ton about it. Trophies are so cool, as are things like Adventure Mode. I understand completely why Ultimate went with stickers instead of trophies, but I kinda wish they could've still had 'em. At least I can enjoy them in 3D in Smash 4 3DS. This was a great episode. Well done! :)

[@ghostsinthesnow_makes_music]

the observatory in great bay used to have a much larger window which can be seen in some early beta footage of the game. players could go insight through a door on either side and you could see them through the glass window

[@aplsed]

My theory: That logo texture for the Staff Credits is most likely being stored for the ending part where it shows you the results of how many of the credits there is.

[@BoundaryBreak]

It's a nice theory but incorrect! That t Logo texture at the end coexists with the unused one

[@ravethedayaway4065]

I remember when the future of this channel was uncertain. Hearing that now you'll be performing live really warms my heart

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

As a kid it was my head canon that the gate of the right on the Temple stage leads to the Underground Maze from Adventure mode. You see sunlight coming from the background in the room you load into there, so I figured that made sense.

[@zenyythultimate]

forever grateful that i live in the same timeline as melee

[@EndsFunnies]

the luigi trophy model having hair reminds me of how the model for luigi in luigis mansion 1 has hair too, in fact it looks incredibly similar to how it does on the trophy. you can see it when you take damage and start to flash, making you able to see parts of the model you usually cant is it just the same model?

[@PointsofData]

Another comment said, but yeah a lot of models were just straight up reused. So Luigi has hair because it's the model from LM1.

[@edfreak9001]

even when I look at a video and think "well this is probably going to be all stuff i've seen since this game has been picked apart to death" you find a way to show new stuff or at least show stuff in a new and interesting way, thanks for everything you do Shesez and I hope your new home is good to you.

This one was a ton of fun! I especially love the low poly character models. And I have days when I feel Klaptrap there on a spiritual level.

[@davidvkimball]

I've spent hours doing this in Dolphin and looking at Melee from every angle. I didn't know about the Melee logo being in the beginning of the credits though! Nice find!! Also for the Daisy eye bit of trivia, it was actually only present in the 1.00 version of the game, and isn't present in the 1.01 or 1.02 versions of the game, nor the 1.03 PAL release. Also for Great Bay, it didn't make the external wall invisible. Instead characters could enter in through a door and you can see them through the external window. There's gameplay footage from Spaceworld 2001 that shows how it would have played out. All of this information can be seen in my documentary on the development of Super Smash Bros. Melee called Elevated. Cheers!

That drain in the Pokémon stadium level actually explains the glitch where you can sometimes fall through the level at that point of the map. That drain has cost a lot of people some wins in some tournaments back in the day lol

[@purpleYamask]

On Luigi's Hair: Given that Luigi's Mansion and Melee are both GameCube titles, they probably just took the real detailed luigi model for cutscenes and ported it. When Luigi first enters the mansion and gets scared by a ghost, his hat pops off to show his hair standing on end for a quick gag, and that's probably just still left in the model.

[@TheZetaKai]

[@berkze2076]

Hey man just dropping by to tell you how awesome you work is! Love the videos keep it up!

[@agoaj]

The reason for the low poly models isn't to save on resources, in fact it uses MORE resources for the extra model and texture. They're used because they can be drawn faster to keep the frame rate high. Low poly models take up more memory because you need to have both of them loaded at all times to switch back and forth. They also need a new texture because the original won't map onto the low poly one correctly. For example, Mario's entire face with mustache could be one rectangle on a low poly texture, but the real model has the mustache texture and eye textures separated out in different parts of the texture to allow for more detail or reuse. Each polygon has to be transformed from 3d space into 2d screen space, and if it's within and facing the camera its pixels are drawn. Less polygons means this can be done faster and you can keep the frame rate up.

[@right_hand_power7960]
