Love the responses, but I think videos would be better, as opposed to just lists. Seeing the moments is much better than seeing a list of them.

Personally always loved the Armada vs Mango sets at Genesis 1.

That moment when you got 4 of your friends, a bag of chips, some soda, a copy of melee, and an afternoon.

Priceless.

There are a lot of great events listed here already, but when I see the word "moment" I don't think of entire sets or games or even whole stocks. Like, "the 2004 ALCS" isn't a moment, "Dave Roberts steals 2nd base in the 9th inning of Game 4" is a moment. A moment is a bite-sized piece of history, something lasting at most ten seconds, maybe five, maybe one, maybe less.

The greatest button presses in Melee history:
Honorable mention: Darkrain's 5th knee on SFAT
5. Mango's Arwing rest on M2K at Pound 3
4. Final knee of the Darkrain Combo
3. Final knee of Wombo Combo
2. Armada picks Young Link against Hungrybox
1. Mango's rest on Armada

I guess dethroning the king isn't historic? Damn... This community... Then next year KK took out Mango and PP. How can that be not considered?

Honestly forgot about you beating mango in winners and losers at RoM 2. Specifically beating Mango's puff, (which was undefeated during his reign in a full set/in a losers bracket). As for KK beating Mango/Scorp's falcon, didn't really consider that Particularly Significant (no fault of kk's of course...Mango trolling with falcon vs his sheik). However,yes taking out PP in the Winners bracket at RoM 3 was hella impressive. My bad Canada.

That was a great moment. I loved when Kage got on the mic and said "I just beat Mango, where you at!"

I don't get why Kage The Warrior gets no love.

Didn't people start to argue who was the best at the time and from then on it was a constant fierce battle between the elite 4. It was also the last time Mango used Puff in singles, at least from what I know. For me, it was definitely a huge mark.

Well if this thread is about (at all) best moments when it comes to a competitive aspect then Kage beating Mango twice is one of the better ones.

Maybe it isn't a favorite for some people because of different reasons, all have different taste, but when it comes to big "WTF" moments in this games history this clearly is one of the better ones. The defending champion losing is always huge but losing TWICE at the same tournament is even more then so.

I might be biased because I can't for my life understand why people think Ganon is "that good" so for me personaly it feels even bigger because I think Ganon is worse then most people. But either way it's really big, no question asked.

Good job, Kage! =)
