The Story Of How It Took 3 YEARS To Take Down Melee’s Best Player

- The 3 Year Quest To Conquer Super smash bros Melee's Titan. The game of smashbros has had a lot of era from the era of the 5 gods to the king of smash. However not much has been documented about the era of melee's titan Zain Naghmi and his 3 year reign and how close he was to losing it every time.
This is the story of the quest to overcome him and all the stories that happened along the way. This is also my first mega long video so I know it wont be perfect but I hope you enjoy it none the less.

Do you have a list of all the sountracks used? i need the one during the smash summit 11 :D
"I beat Cody and Zain and got 7th" has got to be the funniest thing Mango has said lmao
Easily in the top 5 funniest things the mang has said
I love when a melee documentary about any player just suddenly becomes about how much we love mango
That's actually the Mango
this guy gets it
@@ac2346 TRUE
True. That does summarise you crab-throwers extremely well.
@@btf_flotsam478 that's a slur at this point lol
it’s so cool how over the course of his reign as number 1 so many people rose up to contest zains crown, while all simultaneously fighting amongst themselves. reminds me so much of the story of ken
proof that modern melee lore is sick af
Yeah yeah I know this is a video about Cody and there’s a million other videos about it but still there’s chills every time I see a montage of aMSa winning big house 10, just such an insane moment
Crazy to me that it took this long for a solo Fox to be #1. Leffen never did it, and Mango and Armada both used Fox as a secondary. With how long its been agreed upon that Fox is the best character in the game, I'm just shocked it took this long. Great doc, great Cody.
In the same vein it took a solo Fox main this long to be number 1, it almost took a similar amount of time for someone to actually optimize Marth.
The way Zain has mastered this character completely blows any previous contenders with the character out of the water to the point that they look so terrible compared to his Marth. I remember days when people would complain about Marthritis, his supposedly mediocre recovery, and that his special moves were pretty irrelevant parts of his kit. That all seems so fucking *absurd* now because these are all things Zain basically reinvented for the character, and now we've hit the realization that Marth might be *just* as broken as Fox instead of *almost* as broken.
@@heartnet40 in the same way you never declare a speedrun time unbeatable, you can never call the Melee meta solved. It's crazy watching the game continue to evolve after 23 years!
An hour and a half of Melee history documentary? Hell yeah!
Plup was so often in a grand finals as the losing party in this video, its just wild. Started to feel really bad for him just losing over and over again but always crawling back.
the animations remind me of old campy cgi in the best way. Also i want a documentarian to take more of a look at red marth portraying zain as a sort of phoenix rebirth for the color.
i love this type of stuff though, keep it up.
Axe's Pikachu deserves some kind of cheeky spot in that thumbnail 😂
Holy shit. Absolutely amazing documentary giving a really comprehensive history of the past few years of Melee. I'm a little sad there's no mention of Mokys come up but it's already so long so I get it ❤
Watching this with my retirement group home
Such an incredible video. Zain is how I got into melee in 2019 and is the reason I stay up to date with it today.
Not showing Zain Cody at G8 is a crime tho, that set is one of the best non-final sets ever 😂❤
This video needs more views, the work behind is enormous, beautiful video about melee, thanks
This is such an amazing labor of love! So much effort put into this, from the editing to the music to everything. And even though I love Zain, I'm so happy for Cody to have finally made it, after all he's been through
This melee movie is great
Mega Man II is such a great song choice for the best of 10 set
that amsah amsa joke fking got me
Hey, just to be clear I love this very much so far
But at 33:40 Mango was definitely #1 for 2021 by all metrics. If you look at the results it isn’t a question, I’m not sure what Mango’s tweet is about but the official rank had him at 1. It was tiered but they specifically had Mango with the crown. Fwiw I’m an inactive Melee Stats Panelist
is this counting online for that year? not trying to be confrontational, actually just curious
@@yeah2646 yes
Zain had 1 more week in SCL, but Mango outplaced him at both Summits, and all the stakes were on Summits that year
Every player's rank had Mango at #1 for 2021, and the official rank also had Mango at 1 (they just couldn't legally release it because of Nintendo and including Slippi results, but they put out a variation of their usual rankings that put Mango in a tier above everyone else heading into 2022)
@MrMorj thoughts on the one piece chapter?
Wow. You’re an amazing storyteller and this story fucking rips. Insane how much this game has continued to evolve throughout my lifetime as a casual observer
could we get a song list, bro? 👀 The taste on display is immaculate and I gotta fill out the playlist... The music greatly enhanced the viewing experience overall, fantastic vid.
First time watching one of your vids, instant fan. Love the M2K song during The Match, what a climax for an amazing arc.
I did not expect F1 to be involved in this, was a beautiful surprise
Came for smash stuck for f1
10/10 love this. This is exactly the type of content we need for the next melee generation
Two months payed off, Chaler.
Thank you for blessing the Melee niche with your content once again.
Absolute master piece storytelling Chaler. As always, loved watching. Congrats on such a sick vid.
Fantastic video that had me hooked the whole time. Please keep making content!
Very excited for this! Awesome content for the scene keep up the great work!
Great video, amazing music choices and definitely such a good summary of this story.
Now that Cody has won his first Genesis, he's truly proven that winning the FT10 and the title of best player last year over Zain was no fluke
love your videos man we can feel the passion
This video is great! And not what I was expecting. Thank you! I love melee storylines
When the crowds cheering, mango powers up. When he’s got his lap pillow, Zain is powered up. When ibdw can’t stop himself from saying the f word every sentence. He’s powered up.
genuinely u are really good at making videos like this your choice of music is great for the type of moments your trying to create, and your jokes are good i wish i could support u on patreon but im not at that point myself rn maybe in the future
"Is it an upset if I ain't sad about it?" is the best quote I've ever heard from this whole game
This might be your best work yet! Completely nailed the storyline of Zain's rise in the 2020's, and Cody Schwab truly being the one to break through out of that.
Excellent stuff, had a blast watching all of it.
(also most statisticians and the unofficial BlurRank agree that Mango was #1 for 2021, but in a Mickey mouse way because he only entered two offline events that year that he just so happened to outperform Zain at both of them).
melee is one of the most amazing anime ever
thank you so much for your hard work to encapsulate this incredible story
this is why i love and will always love melee
This video is really awesome, great work!!
Thought to myself the other day “haven’t seen a Chaler vid on my feed in awhile, hope he’s doing alright.” This was a wonderful surprise. Incredibly well made, thank you for the time and energy you gave ❤
Wow that's, like, some fucking incredible narration man, keep on the good work your videos are just too awesome
This is the type of video that inspires me to make my own stuff, incredible
This was so fucking good, one of the best melee videos ive ever watched. Even knowing all the outcomes you made me feel like I had no idea what qas going yo happen and ghe adrenaline kicked on all ober again, beavo sir.
I took vacation days to watch smash summit 11 with friends and that was an insanely great decision
Nice stuff! Subscribed!
talk about writing storylines! Great video man!
Great video as always Chaler
5th time rewathing this already, good job man :)
Melee is an amazing competitive game with how it can create storylines and rivalries like this. It's so crazy how Zain and Cody have such parallels with each other, and the only other rivalry in Melee I can think of like the one those two have is Mang0 and Hungrybox, but even those two never had a dead even record against each by the end of the year. There will never ever be another game like Melee, and I'm all here for it!
a incredible video as always :)
Thank you for this content Chaler, melee needs this, the world needs this, actually I need this 😂
i tried so many times to get excited about F1 and never could. u made me get excited about it in 1 minute and 50 seconds
Insane documentary, well done.
Beautiful work Chaler
Babe wake up, new chaler video just dropped.
Incredible video. Why don't this have half a mill views yet!
I feel like you captured the narrative very well.
i love the naruto vs sasuke reference at 1:03:35 to reflect cody and zain's rivlary in 2023 :D it's amazing how evenly matched and what a show is put on whenever they play each other in bracket
this was a great video and makes me love melee even more def earned a sub from me man!
chaler's videos always remind me how sick this game is goddamn.
Incredible pacing, story telling, and delivery. Legit moved to tears. What a tale of human emotion.
Can anyone please share the set from 54:43?
thanks
Thank you for the kind words
that's the grand finals of smash summit 8
2022 was really the best year for Melee in the modern era 🔥
God, Summit 11 is just peak e-sports.
Idk if we'll ever get a better tournament again. aMSa winning Big House 10 was amazing as well and its a really close second in the modern era, but the amount of stakes that Summit 11 had was something straight out of an anime or some shit. Like, Big House 10 was an amazing modern day tournament, but Summit 11 is arguably the best tournament period. Peak storyline, peak Mang0, an opponent more dominant than Ken or Mew2King during their reigns. It was just a perfect storyline, and the Melee they played was godlike. Big House 10 still has to compete in my mind with other shit like Hbox's first EVO win.
Chaler I love this direction for your channel. Your voice as a writer and editor deserve this much time, the green screen gets its due … hope this does well!!
What an amazing video!!! “What the F is going on behind me??” Hehehe, best melee content ever my man you rock! ❤
Amazing video and I was glued to my screen the entire time! Although I just wanted to point out that Zain did win a smash summit although it was online lol 52:23
wait he used billy hatcher music, that alone makes this video top tier
excellent work
This is your best video ever imo I love it!
Also someone tell me why hbox never even tries to amsah tech the rest punish, it’s not even super hard!
Watching Zain at Genesis X this year got me to finally pick up melee. perfect video for me to watch. 2024 is my first year of marth
yooo after seeing you talk about f1 and i was hooked i understood u can talk about anything and it would be interesting xdxd nice
Phenomenal video! Loved every second of it, especially the editing and transitions from topic to topic.
But does anyone happen to know the music playing at 22:04 ?
The Formula 1 intro had me thinking I clicked on the wrong video on accident, but it was an amazing touch
amazing doc
Incredible
the fistbump edit at 45:somewhere was hella clean
this is easily your best video and its not close
Amazing video brother! We TRULY need more melee videos like this it’s true gaming history and must be preserved…
might be coz im stoned but this is the greatest video ever
these animations throughout the video or just.... so good lol
Lets goooooooo. Lmao the cody highlight
amazing storytelling
I love the hollow knight music around the 1 hour 9 minute mark! Mantis lords was a really fun boss fight
this was so good
This is so sick
great vid
Jesus! This is such an amazing story.
I refuse to believe this is all royalty free music, music selection was fire
damn, what a great video
as much a story for zain as it is for cody as well good movie
i started watching melee during the second season of scl, good tume to start imo :)
Domain expansion FD infinite chain grabs 🔥🔥🔥
Finally good to see a Cody finish his story.
Cody picking FD vs Zain at Summit 12 is so big brain, cuz if he loses, Zain can’t counterpick there if Cody wins game 3
Mentioning the SFAT strategy and not mentioning the fact that if Zain wins he can't pick FD again, making the reverse 3-0 easier... disingenuous
hell to the yeah, I know what im watching with dinner today
New Chaler Melee mini doc just dropped
mini????
@@illustrious-jaco relative to the Smash Doc it’s pretty short. Maybe I’m a little fixated on the Smash Doc
@@yawbyss981Tbf I think the og doc is relatively long rather than this one being short
dude I have so much f1 recommended to me that when I saw the intro I thought it was a bug that showed a different video than the one it says it is
great video bro, pls make a music list for the songs used in it pls lol
Wasn’t expecting a Dr stone reference. Nice
