The Smash Brothers documentary/mini series

[S.D]

Samox - Travis Beauchamp - has released his series/documentary detailing Super Smash Brothers Melee's history, community and development over time. It is an outstanding tribute to, and account of, the game we all love. Check it out.

It's really well done and the stories and anecdotes are seriously amazing.
Probably my favourite "movie" because it's so hype!

Travis knocked it out of the park

I was a little choked up in the final ep, wife and cao's closing comments.

Well worth watching the whole thing.

Does anyone know if there's a download link for the vid? Still got no internet at home but would love to download it from work.
If not, will just have to wait a little longer.. :D

I've been linking it around, really enjoyed it and felt it portrayed and addressed all the important elements well.

 

[Hughie]

This is definitely worth everyone's time, such a great story. Oh man, Isai...

 

[Redact]

unfathomed amounts of feels for some of the players, isai especially.

Just finished watching it all, takes a dam long time but certainly good, cool to learn how much has changed.
Being a "new school" player I didn't really know much about all those old players learning about them was cool.

12 years old with a still changing meta game, if melee isn't one of the best damn fighters I just don't know what is.

BACH! without you, half of the documentary wouldn't have existed.

Just saw the 3rd episode, so many feels for Isai

4 hours later and I'm happy that I saw this. Now I have to stay up to do my assignment that I'm supposed to be doing

Who the **** tries to jump from a moving car?

Also I completely disagree with Sakurai's "game that only "maniacs" can enjoy" quote. I played Melee casually as a kid and I never found the game hard to get into, and I'm sure the same could be said for the 90% who bought the game to pass time with their friends. By watering down the game they don't attract new players they just lose old ones.

 

[Dekar289]

exactly the point milktea made

melee not onyl clearly has the most competitive depth, but was also I think the best in terms of being an easy casual game to get into.
adventure/classic/event/all-star was cool, especially the little bonuses you got at the end of each stage in single player and even in multiplayer.
the concept of trophies too, and coins.
best of both worlds.

watching this makes me really sad that i didn't join this scene in the melee era.

tibor and myself played melee for thousands of hours against the cpu, but never considered that something outside that could ever exist. joining the brawl scene was a fluke, and can be solely contributed to bwyan. otherwise, we'd probably still just be playing smash at home.

it wouldve been amazing to watch the evolution of melee from the start.

Quite moving. Makes me want dust off my controller and practice.

Do it!

PC Chris' double dedede theory is correct!!!! Was playing with my brother when he noticed it as we was about to die. Luckily I paused it right before that to get a picture of it.

Dreamland isn't very well made. The killzone is actually bigger than the background (so when you're high offscreen there's actually just black void behind your character) and it's like the background doesn't exactly fit in it's allocated space, so it loops creating a Double DDD.
