Hello mr entertainer / puffstomper / N0ne

[@queuedjar4578]

I really enjoyed this documentary about Scar placing 5th at Genesis. The story about that cool little stomp by n0ne was an interesting aside though.

connecting the revolutionary war to a videogame set is the quintessential melee move

Walt dude I was just thinking today about how much I missed your "moment in history" style documentaries and then you do this. You never cease to amaze me with the amount of work you put into these. Melee wouldn't be the same without you

This narrative style is so perfectly woven together; just on the verge of overreaching; not quite tongue in cheek. It takes itself seriously, but also pokes fun. There's nuance for the long time fan, but it's understandable for the uninitiated. Good f*cking shit Walt!

[@turndownforwalt]

Glad you liked it!

[@DHRtheTHIRD]

Of course the video about none is actually focused on the greatness of Bobby Scar Newman. 10/10

You had to be there. The energy in that crowd was absolutely insane. Complete strangers, who probably don't even know each others first names were hugging and screaming at the top of their lungs. This is what it's all about

[@scapegoat4]

The way that melee has managed to stick around and continue to be a force in the world of esports is testament to how uniquely special it is... Much like this kind of content that cements these small moments in time into easily viewable, well-contextualized bites of brilliance

[@Regigigas777]

I really appreciate Walt going over the "missed" meteor cancel from Hbox. It's some tech that not a lot of people, I suppose even Leffen, know about, and I'm glad he brought some light to it and explaining the nuance of it.

[@harpot678]

This set had much larger implications on the Melee scene at large, especially at the top level. Instead of n0ne Jmook Winners Semis, we would have Jmook Hbox, with the loser facing aMSa, two bad player matchups for Jmook. Hungrybox wouldn't have won GOML, etc.

I saw the stomp live and then gave n0ne props for it afterwards when I saw him hanging out in front of the venue, glad I was able to witness history and then talk to the man right after. Good job Walt, I also was able to say hi to you at a crosswalk as well :D

You just have a captivating way of telling the stories, and the passion you have for the game is palpable.

So I've made this game where I take the intros from video essays that have nothing to do with the topic at hand, and quiz people by showing them right up until the reveal and asking what the video is about. You've just added one more to the list walt, and for that I thank you.

The quality of a melee documentary cannot be measured in the hypeness of the moment but instead on how much american revolutionary war history is used as a metaphor for melee, thanks walt, this was incredible
