So I finally watched the Smash Documentary...

[@l3ff3n]

Sorry for the timing on this one, got delayed for a while so it almost seems like its the Metagame viewing lol. I recently finished watching that one as well, let me know if you want a full youtube review of it!

[@fisker25]

Haha, the timing is so great actually. I'd go so far as to call this one a "mogul move".

[@bboard17]

Love you bro! We need more sad combo vids. Gotta farm some quality memes from that trash doc

a review would be great but play sad music the whole time for the metagame effect

[@cypi6210]

Hmm, true. But I think Leffen's points has some validity though.

[@DannyTanimoto]

How many levels of Johns are you on, my dude??

[@XxHistorikxX]

The narrorator has the type of voice that grows on you. Hated it at first but nowadays I love it. Prolly because of like a nostalgia factor

[@zachsteiner]

Lowkey it still kind of annoys me but tbf I don’t have nostalgia for it

[@Flip-a-dip-dip]

I don’t get the hate for honestly. What’s the big deal I think it sounds fine

[@shady8045]

I think it fits for what it is, its a golilocks zone of a "content creator" voice and a "super serious documentarian" voice, and I don't think neither of those ends of the spectrum would fit as well.

Smash Brothers Doc : - Explains the grass roots events of old Smash , and how tournaments started - Golden era of Smash , how they went to the "Dark Ages" , and how they jump into EVO 2013 and into the Platinum Era - Shows all the advance tech that the game has , the old meta back then , and how people evolved and develop from it - Japan vs USA rivalry, in which we have great sets like Captain Jack vs Azen and Ken vs Bomb Soldier - Old "legends" like Azen , Isai , Ken , PC Chris , KDJ, Chudat and more who have impacted the game and make waves - MLG Circuit , how underground tournaments open up like Apex , ROM , Pound - The storylines and rivalries, the narrative is great when they show how the rivalry play out Metagame Doc : - Covers the era of the 5 Gods , from 2009 to 2014 - Also shows how each of these 5 players became a God, and their big wins (mainly Mang0 , PPMD and Armada) - PPMD and Armada , got the exposure that they did not got on the Smash Brothers Doc, and give us a more personal look on those 2 - Shows the rivalry of the 5 Gods , mainly this trio rivalry between Mango , Armada and PPMD - Old grass root Smash tournaments like Genesis, ROM , Pound , Kings of Cali and Apex got more exposure (lol they did not show Apex 2014) - Explain what happened during the "Dark Ages" and how it make this faith of leap into the Platinum era - Leffen controversy, his epic comeback to take down the 5 gods , and his quest for such a feat - The Summer of Smash, shows this crazy summer on Mang0 and Armada going back and forth , trading grand finals after grand finals - Production lead all of these into Apex 2015 for the grand conclusion

[@BossBoomBox]

The poor mans version of M2K almost took a game off of Korean DJ. Congrats champ.

[@michaelrhudak]

The old handheld footage and Wife's commentary were definitely the highlights of the first documentary for me. The second one has none of the former and not much of the latter (not too applicable), so it was a struggle to get through.

[@ipeut14]

This was hard to watch, b/c of Leff's commentary. It's like hanging out with your friend that hates everything, such a bad time.

[@lmoa3917]

Why not watch the documentary by itself then?

Totally 😅

[@metroidfoosion73]

Ian P. Lmao I was just about to comment the same thing. Like legitimately the guy is just LOOKING for things to complain about. He’ll just stay silent for all the great moments in the doc and then jump on anything he thinks is “cringe” and blow it way out of proportion.

yah you dont know what makes a good doc, this is probably the greatest smash doc we'll get and the fact is it doesnt include you. thats why you hate it lmao

[@mageius]

the one thing I have to say is that the documentary is also a bit of a time capsule to a different time. Yeah there's parks that didn't age well but it's something that still should be remembered, although updating and explaining it as to how the culture was is something that I think should be included as a way to help with explaining things for everyone that doesn't know how that time actually was.

40:44 Why do you have to use a “big black guy” as an analogy for something to be in fear of? Why not a big white guy? A big Asian guy? A big Colombian guy? Why should you equate black people with fear? And then you go on to say how “Japs” is not right to be used now, and how rape is a bad word to use now in these times and saying how the gaming culture was. Yet you kinda contradict yourself with the analogy. That’s not cool either. Black people don’t want to be feared of wherever they go, that stereotype is ridiculous.

For me it was just the tournament atmosphere and the lives of the players. It's a magical thing to practice very hard at something you love and then play with something on the line in a highly competitive setting. Your true self comes out, and that's when you see what you're really capable of.
