Portersona I just wrote about this on this video. Isn’t it just much welcomed equillibrium to an other wise fanfare sounding intro? It’s so great. Really enables you to remember how you’ve familiarized your favorite childhood hero, whether it’s the legend of Zelda, donkey Kong , yoshi story, kirby n64, mario n64, earthbound, pokemon. 0:49 makes all those heroes flash in my mind all at once. Really nice
0:29 just knowing all that Link sacrificed to save the world, seeing that slideshow of the events of Ocarina of Time...what an ode to such a powerful game...tears...
The absolute, raw confidence on display when they flash the logo for just a third of a second at 0:16, that's slowly become my favorite part of this video. When they showed this as a reveal trailer, people couldn't even start cheering before it was already gone.
yup, im probably biased due to my love for LoZ and OoT being my favorite but its my fav part with how the visuals sync with the theme. i also grew up with brawl instead of melee, so that part of the theme is the one i mustve heard the most and also my favorite :D
Wow I never really looked at the scenes in the back like that, I'm glad you said that because oot is so nostalgic for me, prolly still my favorite game of all time
I mean, it’s arguably the best part of the whole song and I almost agree wholeheartedly but this whole opening is timeless. I still have the game and I still play it 20 years later and it’s still fun to play.
@@kidplaysgame3590 I was just playing Kirby's adventure and literally heard this part, came here because I can't seem to find many people who know it apart from you
0:49 I forget how beautiful this one bit is. The charm, the choir singing, and the way the scenery moves with zelda and shiek. Just breathtakingly beautiful
@Lucario el trapokemón Melee came out in 2001, and Brawl came out in 2008. Where did you get 4 years from? Unless if you're talking about going from Smash 4 to Smash Ultimate
One of if not the best smash intro. Especially considering 0:49. There's just something so magical about this scene. I can't quite describe it but it's just absolutely amazing. Gives me chills evertime.
The music, the choir singing, the beautiful transition of Zelda and Sheik playing the harp looking into the night sky. Yeah, it’s easily the best part of this whole opening but the entire opening as a whole is timeless
It does! I wrote about this in the comments too. It really reminds you of your heroes. At 0:49, all the heroes I’ve come to familiarize myself with over the years just flashes before me. It’s a somber reminder of what makes us who we are. All the characters in smash just coming together in one glorious fun battle game waiting for us to bask in nostalgia through game collaboration. really nice
What some younger folk may not get is that no smash bros had the jump between games as the Original and Melee. The graphics, characters, orchestra , stages, and combat all were such a significant improvement from the first in just a 2 year span.
i grew up with Smash 4, yet Fountain of Dreams from Melee still gives me HUGE chills. NO other song i've ever listened to has ever felt so dramatic, so impactful, so "important", like it's the final fight at the end of a movie to determine if the main character wins or fails. The beginning of that song still feels absolutely stellar.
Tbh, the original was kinda more experimental and had a much less budget, but melee had the power of the GameCube and even though it was rushed, it is still very impressive considering that melee was probably there to show the power of the GameCube.
Alex Buell how do you know? have you ever been to heaven before? what's it like up there if you know what the choir is like up there. have you even met Jesus, god, or the angels
In a game that was so quickly worked on, it was given so much love and effort, the creators really pushed the boundaries of what a Nintendo fighting game could be, this game is still well alive with its community, a sparkling future to come.
I really hope Nintendo can make another project like this that really oozes the passion of the developers, SSBU was amazing but there were many limitations to what they could do (in the cases of World of Light and Spirits) imo there was more focus on amazing gameplay than on the charm of the game. Nintendo tends to play it safe now but the N64/Gamecube era of games was overflowing with quirk, personality and just plain heart, it saddens me to see how poorly they treat their older titles with bad ports and straight up never acknowledging them even though they’re some of the best memories of Nintendo games for many people. BoTW and Metroid Dread were both steps in the right direction but we’ll have to see where Nintendo keeps going. I want to see more of their signature quirk from their games in the future and their consoles. (The switch UI is a little depressing.) One thing I loved about Nintendo is that you couldn’t get that whimsical experience anywhere else. Now it feels like Nintendo is solely depending on their iconic characters and titles to get people to stick around.
UniqueDough lol I also say "lol" physically and mentally upon stumbling upon a fragment of humor related to the fictional green dinosaur known as Yoshisaurus B. Munchikoopa commiting the crime of tax fraud. lol!
1:03 so neat to see the world of Earthbound rendered in a 3D environment. Ness’s teleportation looks exactly like the Delorean from Back To The Future! Oh and MR. SATURN. How could I forget?
@@SueMeriah that pause is epic, it adds so much tension in a fraction of a second. This is legit the perfect trailer and intro it’s still top tier to this day
Friendly reminder: out of anything such as Master Hand, Galeem and all the bullshit from Subspace Emissary, a Bob-Omb is just as capable as them to turn characters into trophies.
Straight up magic. I'll never forget the day I saw this trailer. My 13 year old mind was truly blown beyond belief that day. Also imo, this intro is still the best Smash Bros opening.
We've made it! At the time I'm posting this of December 3rd, 2021, Super Smash Bros. Melee is now a 20 year-old game. This is the first Smash game I've ever played. I played it since around 2009. It's so nostalgic to me and an amazing game. It has a decent character roster, great gameplay, the best intro, and amazing soundtracks. Thank you Masahiro Sakurai for making not only an excellent video game, but also a work of art. Same applies to the latest Smash game. ❤
Thanos is G A Y i literally said what, calm your tits. how about you fuck off with your ‘why is the internet so brainless’ i didn’t fucking understand. fuck you idiot lol
The beginning is just a masterpiece: the trophy thrown with such force it's in the sky that short little shine at the peek and then falls aggressively and just as it stops the transformation glow from the bottom stopped by the dramatic pause to a black screen showing nintendo being like "yeah we made this, yeah we bad ass" (before the company started being greedy fucks) and all the way the music in sync holy frick! i can watch this opening every day and be like damn this will always be my favorite game of all time!
I don't know why they've showed this clip to the public. That man's children or wife could be watching. I am highly shamed by news stations for putting this on their broadcasts
That Shiek part is just majestic, thanks to the beautiful music and crisp animation. The power of Kirby music combined with the will and effort of emotion is astounding. I will always come to this video.
one of my alltime favorite childhood games man . . . this intro you have to play every time at the max fucking volume and scream with the announcer SUPER SMASH BROTHERS, MELEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The late 90s, early 2000s, were so artistical for videogames, the beginning of the intro it's so symbolical, Mario coming back to life, it's like a way to say ''You're not only a videogame character, you're here for something epic, and that it's, battling''. I love the way it portray the characters.
We got a black GameCube and ordered super smash bros melee on Christmas. Our old platinum didn’t work anymore. So I haven’t heard this in so long. And the past few years all I could hear was the melody from Sheiks part of this intro. The day before new years though, we finally got the game. I put the disc in and nah man. 0:49 almost made me cry of joy :)
As a kid I always thought this was one of the most badass openings ever and still do. It made me want a story mode for Smash so bad and I was so hyped when I saw that Brawl had one. It wasn't all that great but the cutscenes in it were amazing and it was cool seeing all the characters come together
I just realized something. The part where DK's getting shocked by Samus' charged energy ball is a reference to the first Smash Bros. intro where DK and Samus are fighting.
@@bombabombom3603 have you played melee?? it looks exactly like mewtwos attack...why not make it look like samus' attack if it was samus' attack? its just an easter egg.
+The Shiny Greninja because in melee the characters of the Zelda game were based on the Ocarina of Time game, the only character based on Majora's Mask was young link and was a unlockable secret character, so, the had to keep it "secret" (not really since termina great bay was a stage in the game).
I never even owned this game but watching this feels nostalgic. Melee without a doubt has my favorite opening OST in all of Smash. I especially love the melody at 0:30 , it feel so grand and epic.
As sad or crazy as this may sound... This opening gives me such an intense feeling of nostalgia that i have goosebumps over my whole body the entire time and sometimes even tear up and cry. Ive never felt this level of nostalgia with anything else
I understand the feeling. Melee was my first video game and watching this intro for the first time as a 5 year old gave me a feeling I still can’t put into words. This intro and game itself have loads of sentimental value to me
Mario sunshine, double dash, wind waker, twilight princess, metroid prime, echoes, smash melee, pikmin, luigi's mansion. i miss my childhood so much right now.
TheAgentofthesystem I wouldn't say you're a child at that point anymore, but without nitpicking, I agree. I'm one year older than you and all those games (except Pikmin) were part of that period of my life. I miss those times.
I absolutely love that the screen goes black, the music stops and it just says Nintendos All Stars in.. then just right back into like nothing happened
"Avengers: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history"
Me, an intellectual:
Brian Massey Or we could just enjoy them both
True
*and then Melee 2 came out*
what, isn't ultimate a port of melee?
No?
Aww man!
I dunno I think brawl can take that place.

That Shiek part is just majestic, thanks to the beautiful music and crisp animation. The power of Kirby music combined with the will and effort of emotion is astounding. I will always come to this video.
*cum
I stared at this for like 20 seconds thinking it said "That Shrek part" and I was so confused.
"How did you guys cope with 9/11"?
with this.
100%
I walked through blood and bone looking for my brother
Not funny, i got ptsd
@@a.9589 I looked for my dead bother. Turned out he was in Canada
Everybody talking about 00:49 but can we talk about how cool this shot is 1:19???
1:23 it still gives chills even more than the whole intro. Love this game
The way he say "SUPER SMASH BROTHER, MELEE!!!" it makes me hype about this game
MELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
When the explosion happens and this guy starts yelling I remember my cousin and I would be screaming to the top of our lungs at 5 AM
This moment is why I searched this video. MELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeuh

Of all the SSB intros, Melee remains undefeated!
The late 90s, early 2000s, were so artistical for videogames, the beginning of the intro it's so symbolical, Mario coming back to life, it's like a way to say ''You're not only a videogame character, you're here for something epic, and that it's, battling''. I love the way it portray the characters.
The songs lyrics:
SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEEEEEEEEEEE
(No need to thank me :))
+Umut K You forgot the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA at the beginning.
Kawaiiyashi98 xD
You forgot links hiay
DK: ARRUUGH
Lyrics:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
DK: Huh?
Yoshi: Etham! (tongue shoot)
Zelda: YA!
Link:Grrrrr!
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh uuuuuuuuuuuuuh uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh uuuh uuuh uuuuuuuuh uuuh uhhh uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhuuuuuuuuuuh(transfer to opera)
Ha Haaaaaaaaaaa Ha..... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
VoiceOver during the Ha part: SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MEEELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
the intro predicted amiibos
xTøby Yes, every one of them
Throwing the Mario trophy represents people throwing away the animal crossing party amiibos.
actually i think the opening inspired them partially with actually making them
GigaLem more like this game predicted Amiibos
Yee
The quick flash of the logo at 0:14 before an amazing slow mo and epic drum part is the reason this is the best intro ever
We got a black GameCube and ordered super smash bros melee on Christmas. Our old platinum didn’t work anymore. So I haven’t heard this in so long. And the past few years all I could hear was the melody from Sheiks part of this intro. The day before new years though, we finally got the game. I put the disc in and nah man. 0:49 almost made me cry of joy :)
As a kid I always thought this was one of the most badass openings ever and still do. It made me want a story mode for Smash so bad and I was so hyped when I saw that Brawl had one. It wasn't all that great but the cutscenes in it were amazing and it was cool seeing all the characters come together
gamerprince1999 heya :^
Yomiel Ayeee. Your still alive!
2018 Sakurai: HOLD MY BEER hey guys new adventure mode for ultimate
Me : OOOH OH OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH...
Brawl is broken trash
Perfect Cell dude lol you mad bro just let people have their opinion I loved subspace emissary it was lit to the T
sheik and zelda is the best part D:
actually the DK part (aerial view) is the best one and the sheik part is the 2nd best.
lol if you say so C:
lux bledstone do you know where the song is from?
its a sound track made esp for the game im guessing i really havent heard it any where else...
lux bledstone aw
Such an incredible memory
This is one of, if not the best cinematic in video game history.
I just realized something.
The part where DK's getting shocked by Samus' charged energy ball is a reference to the first Smash Bros. intro where DK and Samus are fighting.
I've heard that's supposed to be Mewtwo's Shadow Ball
looks more like mewtwos
@@mhead1117 OK, then why in the world would they show Mewtwo's attacks when there are no other locked characters in this intro?
@@bombabombom3603 have you played melee?? it looks exactly like mewtwos attack...why not make it look like samus' attack if it was samus' attack? its just an easter egg.
@@bombabombom3603 well in the intro you can see Ganondorf, Pichu, and Jigglypuff. They're locked at the beginning of the game.
The Sheik scene is my favourite
+Mannequin Victoria Chase Indeed
I had a massive crush on Sheik because of that scene when I was younger 😂 used to think she was a boy!
+Fernanda ME TOO HAHAHAHAHA but i always see her like a girl
I wonder why the moon wasn't the "creepy" moon
+The Shiny Greninja because in melee the characters of the Zelda game were based on the Ocarina of Time game, the only character based on Majora's Mask was young link and was a unlockable secret character, so, the had to keep it "secret" (not really since termina great bay was a stage in the game).
I love how good it looks when Ness comes flying out of that portal via PK teleport
wow.. today is the day i say happy 20th birthday to this beautiful masterpiece
Nintendo should just remake this opening in each new games with better graphics and new characters. wouldnt complain.
And keep brawl main theme as the main theme of all games
+Alim Koutm we no
+Alim Koutm ew
Alim Koutm Hell no...keep it as the title theme its awsome.
+Emmanuel Mondesir fuck you
0:49 to 0:50 That part is so beautiful with Sheik and Zelda. 💫
I’m obsessed too!
or zelda and zelda
BUTTER BUILDING HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAKAKANALAVDJSLSLQAQKJSOSHEDBCLCHCNA
Honestly, the Nintendo devs should make a scene where they both meet each other
0:36 gives me chills every time
Criminally underrated
aMSa?
@@eagle2896E28 the goat fr
I never even owned this game but watching this feels nostalgic. Melee without a doubt has my favorite opening OST in all of Smash. I especially love the melody at 0:30 , it feel so grand and epic.
As sad or crazy as this may sound... This opening gives me such an intense feeling of nostalgia that i have goosebumps over my whole body the entire time and sometimes even tear up and cry. Ive never felt this level of nostalgia with anything else
Right there with ya brotha
I still remember grinding those last two event matches to this day. Amazing and beautiful game.
and this whole time I was thinking I'm the only one that is experiencing this. Crazy innit.
i’m feeling the exact same way rn.
I understand the feeling. Melee was my first video game and watching this intro for the first time as a 5 year old gave me a feeling I still can’t put into words. This intro and game itself have loads of sentimental value to me
Mario sunshine, double dash, wind waker, twilight princess, metroid prime, echoes, smash melee, pikmin, luigi's mansion. i miss my childhood so much right now.
Twilight Princess? How old are you?
Yaeven 22....that would make me 14 when it came out.
TheAgentofthesystem
I wouldn't say you're a child at that point anymore, but without nitpicking, I agree. I'm one year older than you and all those games (except Pikmin) were part of that period of my life. I miss those times.
Yaeven young teen whatev, yeah 6th gen was awesome so was 7th.
OMG my childhood was also all this mainly metroid games, GAME CUBE FOREVER !!!!
That “Melee” gets me teary eyed
At the end when the announcer just says *SUPER SMASH BROTHERS, MELEE!!!!!* brings tears and nostalgia at the exact same time
Watching the intros legitimately make me want to cry
Ethan Brown I know 😢
Ethan Brown man same here I wish they brought it back
Ethan Brown because ridley?
Tears were shed here dude. You good.
0:35 when she breaks up with her boyfriend
now thats comedy
When the egirl is single
simp
Simp moment.
I didn’t think I’d see you here
I absolutely love that the screen goes black, the music stops and it just says Nintendos All Stars in.. then just right back into like nothing happened
20 years and counting on
