The Greatest Story in Melee History

[@bool_master]

Hello! I would like to say thank you to everyone who has watched and enjoyed this video! With that being said, I am aware that as of this time this is the only video of mine that has found success in the algorithm. While I love this video, it would mean a lot if you guys checked out my new stuff too. I feel I’ve grown so much as a creator, and some love would be appreciated

[@PP-py4tn]

You're absolutely clueless. Slippi was made years before rollback. Hbox was a wiener for 10 years spamming defensive moves in tournaments that had very little prize pools. All he did was kill the hype, if it wasn't for rest he'd have been more infamous than wobblers. Anyone who knows the basics know hbox was just bad at melee and played defensive. It wasn't until a few years ago that he did simple tech like jump cancel grabs. He would literally just press z even though puff has a huge jump squat window.

gotta respect the time, effort, and dedication that was put into this video. you completely went above and beyond with the quality. amazing work my guy! banger vid

[@kkim5000]

great stories require great storytellers. such a good video.

[@henryreturns1397]

Things to add this amazing storyline: - Armada just retired on 2018 prior to this so many players “demon” was gone from the bracket and might go deeper on bracket - Mang0 just got 3rd on the 2019 ranking when he should have got 2nd since he won the two most stack tourneys of that year (GOML 2019 and TBH9) and have decent placings thru other tourneys - Zain from losing literally two grand finals of Game 10s to Mang0 and Hungrybox , goes and wins genesis against both of them - Moreover , Zain was chosen to be the best Melee player on 2020 during the COVID era , dethroning Hbox and been the best on that era - Mang0 also was the only player that has won super majors on 3 different decades and can still be at the very top - In addition to that , Mang0 is the only top player of today that has played all the TOP PLAYERS AT THEIR PEAK. He was there to stop Mew2king reign , defend America from the Swedish invasion , challenge hungrybox on his clutchgod status , and it’s currently the only one giving Zain a run for his money. - After this tournament , PG stats decided to do a Top 100 Melee players of all times and decided to named Mang0 the GOAT after he won Summit 11.

Amazing content from such a small channel, I respect the effort. Hope to see a lot more content in the future even if its not melee related

[@143Oshawott]

Fightings games in general are so unique because you have legacy players like Daigo and Mango still playing the game after years, even decades after. In the case of Mango it’s so amazing seeing such a huge influential player always push the boundary of when his prime is. The difference that melee has over other games though is that it is literally the same exact game no patches or anything, yet the scene is constantly adding new storylines and metas it’s fucking crazy.

[@ahmedsaeed3494]

Bro I love these melee docs and seeing new melee Channels. Hope to see u make new vids and docs!! Beautiful vid u got my sub

[@TheZerocrossings]

38:20 Look at the absolute pinnacle of sportsmanship that is Hungrybox here. The hit connects, and before the kill is even confirmed he lets out a massive smile and instinctively offers his opponent a friendly fist bump. I bet if you showed someone that clip with no knowledge of the game, they would assume Hbox just won based on body language alone.

[@SirMalorak]

Ye fr, he even went ahead and said "The best 2 are sitting in the Studio right now, and that's what Grand Finals should be". Hbox gets some crap for being "lame" but he's a super hard worker and thus seems to appreciate others who do the same!

[@medea6341]

It was an IRL hard read

[@ReeeeeeallyLong]

I’ve always wanted to show my friends who aren’t into competitive melee this set but I always thought they wouldn’t truly understand the magic of this set. Despite the set already being a banger game 10, there are so many factors that just make this set even better. The mang0 zain rivalry, the fox marth debate, the history of mang0’s loser runs. But this video really captures what this set meant. Such a good video Edit: Also it was first big lan tournament since quarantine, it had the largest prize pool, and mang0 won TWICE on FD. What a set man

[@ayarjayuh]

[@harleythompson7487]

An insane amount of effort must've went into this, and it shows. Keep up the grind

[@bool_master]

Thank you!

[@codetaku]

Minor nitpick, but when you said that mang0 was the only one to beat both Ken and Zain, you meant "when they were considered to be #1" (which Zain definitely was in 2020). Because Mew2King beat both of them as well, but his last time beating Zain was 2018, well before Zain was in contention for #1

[@bigredog100]

Well by that time he had already beaten the likes of leffen and Mango

[@eddiestilll]

ur an amazing creator man, i luv da use of 3rd strike OSTs too ;)

[@bool_master]

Thank you man, I hope to keep creating

[@zcorn1]

Major respect towards HBox for saying they were the two best players and that’s what the grand finals should have.

[@EZmode420]

this deserves way more views. Very well done, hope to see more videos like this in the future. Small note: at 12:54 you wrote Mango was the only player to beat Ken and Zain. But m2k has also achieved that feat. (not trying to call u out. just something i noticed)

[@Gabriel-sd1oh]

Mang0 is the only one to face zain at his peak tho, which has been from circa 2019 to now

[@EZmode420]

[@PatOnTheBack321]

There are so many layers to melee. This video taught me about the Marth's pivot. I've heard about it, but never knew what it meant. I love that the video did the green blink when Zane pivot-smashed HBox during their summit 11 match. This video is criminally under-rated, with just under 7,000 views. Hopefully it pops-off.

[@hunky1013]

17:43, not done watching the video yet (love it so far) but its funny you mention pivot tippers, yet that clip is actually a **wavedash forward** fsmash, which (im sure you probably know this) is more common vs puff when she's at a higher %, like in that clip

[@hunky1013]

finished watching, amazing video! looking forward to your future uploads

[@lightbrand_]

I’m pretty sure no one expected HBox to do great at summit 11, he had had a horrible 2 years of online and you just can’t shrug that off, because melee’s online is really good. It was actually impressive that he placed 3rd

Mang0 and losers bracket comebacks are by far the greatest love stories they love each other, Not only in losers bracket mango becomes a MONSTER whenever he's in danger like having one stuck, If mango does win a tournament without a comeback it doesn't count to me, He's the protagonist of melee he have plot armor Such a great documentary tho.

Sick video. To be honest, start to end, I though I was watching a video made by some big channel specialized in eSport or whatever, I didn't looked at your name nor the views until I scrolled through the comments and noticed people mentioning that you were a small content creator. So it's all the more impressive you managed to produce such a well structured video, with this amount of informations and a great editing all by yourself !

[@OmniNero]

M2K and other players have described it better, but if Zain was able to land this uair at 47:45, he'd likely win the set, since it links into a clean conversion (sans mom's spaghetti). M2K said that Zain was 1 frame late. It wasn't just grand finals, game 10, last stock. It was last hit. This game coming down to an actual razor's edge makes it legendary and easily my favorite set of all time. Excellent video encapsulating the experience.

[@lazerboy4942]

Hey, you should add chapters in the description. Awesome video though!

[@giohg5801]

[@AlphaPancake96]

Great vid. The only thing I wish you highlighted more was Zain's insane set record vs fox on FD. He was virtually undefeated on this stage specifically up until this point, so at the time when Mang0 went down 0-2 pretty much everybody thought it was over. Then Mang0 absolutely stunned winning 2 times IN A ROW on FD. Absolutely crazy stat shattering stuff. Of everything Mang0 did that day that's what blew my mind the most.

I definitely respect the effort put into this video -- research, scripting, editing -- and the clear love and passion for the game you have. Making a video with this much soul and effort and time invested is always a risky venture as a channel with not even 1000 subscribers (as of this comment) -- it could be so much work , for not even triple-digit people to ever even give it a chance. I'm happy that this video has made the rounds -- whether by people sharing with friends, or the algorithm blessing it a bit -- it certainly deserves to be seen. Here's hoping that by the end of the year, it's surpassed 100k and beyond. :) And if you end up making more quality content, I hope your sub count is 10k+ by this time next year as well. Good luck, and great video!
