Really well done, and thanks for taking the time to interview and highlight something that means a lot to me. Best of luck, and let me know if I can help at all
met cody in a long ass line at walmart in virginia last year. didn’t even realize it was him until like halfway into our conversation. super nice dude.
I've been watching competitive smash since mid 2015, and I've never seen a better rivalry. It was insane to see these 2 go from "oh I think I heard of them a couple of times" to absolutely running the game. Seeing them leave an undeniable mark on the 2 most played characters of a game with such history
Finally someone acknwloedgeds zains dominance over cody, its why im so happy to see cody able to overtake him because for a good while it seemed impossible
I always though that mang0s win against Zain on Summit 11 helped Cody mentally to do well vs Zain, mang0 shows that Fox can beat Zains Marth especially on FD
And to think he almost picked up Sheik for Marth. Then at Genesis X Leffen’s Sheik lost to Zain yet Cody’s Fox beats him. I agree with the other commenter that Mango’s win at Summit probably had something to do with restoring his faith in Fox
Zains drum solo was so sick! Great job on this vid. That hot dog eating contest line and the chuckle after it is one of the funniest things ive heard on melee youtube in a while lmaoo
i started watching this and i was like "this editing sees familair..." and i look at my suggested and the first video i see was your summit 11 video, your work is incredible keep it up
This idea is the exact reason I love the Hungrybox story. And so often he would win from losers bracket; where any loss could mean the end of his run. I love nothing more than watching someone fight through losers brackets and Hungrybox was someone who was known for it for some time.
And to think we didn’t get to see this matchup at Genesis X! Awesome video also congrats to Cody for starting off strong this year with a great victory, and to Zain for starting off decently as well with a a respectable 3rd place.
Thank you for making a doc on this cool era/part of modern melee, it's truly crazy just how close these 2 are and how much they push each other, u captured that rly well!! :^D
Awesome doc, love how it was edited with the little montages synced with the music and how it doesn't feel like cody propaganda, they both are amazing players that helped eachother get to the top
When I was making this doc, I felt like having just cody’s pov would be better for the sake of the narrative. I wanted it to HIS story. If I could do it over again though I def would’ve done a Zain interview as well. Next time!
Great video, the interview added some info that made it feel worthwhile even if you've watched the sets before, and I loved the editing (during the FT10 especially!)
Bool your storytelling of melee is and remains magical, I'd been waiting for this and I'm so happy it's here now ! I'll always be a Zain supporter because his marth gives me wonder like no other player but man Cody is good Hope we also get to see more Jmook this year, love the trio dynamic
17:45 little known fun fact but SFAT beat Zain on FD Zain lost on FD before Summit 11, but he had a 3 year streak of not losing there. And losing twice is what made Mango’s run insane. So yeah Cody PICKING FD and then winning.. as surreal as boolmaster puts it
cody my goat. as someone whos watched more cody gameplay than any human prob should have, especially in the era where zain was wiping the floor with him, its been fantastic to see him on top of everything this last year
It's really cool how you'll never truly know who'll be at the top one day. Those people in the venue watching Cody and Zain face off for the first time probably had no idea they'd be the gods of today. Just like it's always been. An up and coming Mang0 upsets Ken, and up and coming M2K upsets Ken prior and basically wrote the book of Melee, and an up and coming Ken trash talks online in 2003 but backs it up becoming the first king of Smash. All held within venues or garages, game stores or school auditoriums...we just never knew we were looking at history in the making. A beautiful legacy this game and the other Smash games hold.
I've had the pleasure to watch several of these two's best sets in person (Genesis 8 & Shine 2023). It is clear that they have defined the last few years of competitive Melee, and will continue to define it for the foreseeable future. This video did a good job of telling their story so far, now we can only wait and see what comes next!
Genesis X was the highest level this game has ever been played. Falchion vs Metal Legs honed like iron sharpening iron. Cody and Zain commanded dominance over an entire community, nothing standing in their way. Well, almost nothing. ♥️🦖
Your gameplay edits are top notch, Samox-esque if I may. I think your scripting and story-telling could use a little work. There are so many juicy details to this rivalry, and so much context behind the two. Great work!
Really well done, and thanks for taking the time to interview and highlight something that means a lot to me. Best of luck, and let me know if I can help at all
No, THANK YOU BRO! It was honestly my pleasure. Keep doing what you do, I’ll make a million of these docs
it's not an enjoyable rivalry if one of the players openly made love to their mother
LOL
cody's real rival is his mom LOL
Zains always been Cody’s main rival. You don’t play 12,000 sets against someone live if you’re not dedicated to beating them.
Real number?
Yeah something like that, they showed their slippi stats at the end of the year
Always? No. In the last two years, yes.
Unless you’re from a small scene 🙃

nico detected
I thought this is one of those grocery store memes lmaoo
@@FirePuff12 nah it was at ***** con lol
@@FirePuff12oh, like you're doing now?
the montage of zain catching up back to cody to 6-6 editing was so fucking good. i love those drums. great video, great editing, keep it up 😄

that was literally my dynamic lol.
Boolmaster’s Melee videos are masterpieces, I’m sooo excited to see this one
thank you bro!!!!!

@@mL-7992 Yeah, I always thought of it as: Mango wrote the first chapter of the book on how to beat Zain as Fox and then Cody wrote the rest.
Recording sets is the best thing melee community has ever done for itself
the drums
and the horns
Absolutely destroy
Zains drum solo was so sick! Great job on this vid. That hot dog eating contest line and the chuckle after it is one of the funniest things ive heard on melee youtube in a while lmaoo
i started watching this and i was like "this editing sees familair..." and i look at my suggested and the first video i see was your summit 11 video, your work is incredible keep it up
Thank you!
Bro that use of the jazzy 3rd palace theme from P5 during the Zain v Cody first to ten was crazy. You cooked with that.
incredible video one of my favorite rivalries ever in melee
i love your melee docs man :D you have a knack for story telling and i always love your music choice!! ^^
THANK YOU
This idea is the exact reason I love the Hungrybox story. And so often he would win from losers bracket; where any loss could mean the end of his run. I love nothing more than watching someone fight through losers brackets and Hungrybox was someone who was known for it for some time.

Absolute cinema. Every video is a banger great job bool. The whiplash esquié drum solo finale was awesome. Keep it up!
Another insane development I never heard or cared for until I watched this amazing documentary. Melee community always has such insane video quality
Thank you for making a doc on this cool era/part of modern melee, it's truly crazy just how close these 2 are and how much they push each other, u captured that rly well!! :^D
Thank you for the notes
You’ve done it again, Bool! Great video!
top 1 boolmaster melee video, honestly top 3 melee videos of all time.
makes me happy seeing this video blow up
Also if we are counting summer rankings, Cody is the 8th to be 1st, as PPMD was rank 1 during the summer of 2014
the drum solo sequence in the first to 10 was great
crazy good editing love to see it and can't wait to see what you come out with next
Awesome doc, love how it was edited with the little montages synced with the music and how it doesn't feel like cody propaganda, they both are amazing players that helped eachother get to the top
Would’ve been nice to hear Zain’s perspective and have him being interviewed as well
When I was making this doc, I felt like having just cody’s pov would be better for the sake of the narrative. I wanted it to HIS story. If I could do it over again though I def would’ve done a Zain interview as well. Next time!
The video and the music used are insane
Great video, the interview added some info that made it feel worthwhile even if you've watched the sets before, and I loved the editing (during the FT10 especially!)
Boolmaster Back at it again with a perfect video as per usual!
Already know this is gonna be a BANGER of a video
YOU ARE THE GOAT. PEEP THE BIG BROTHER REFERENCE IN THE BEGINNING
I loved the BB25 reference, makes my heart smile when my 2 interests collide in a video@@bool_master
Craziest thing was me realizing PPMD was the only one of the 5 Gods to never hold 1st place.
He was for a season not a full year tho
29:41 WHERES MANGO’S PUFF.. THIS IS ERASURE
Finally watched majority of ur vids. Love ur smash content primarily but props to u for diversification!
Awesome channel man, keep it up!!
This is a great video! I love the editing!
This video was straight boolin'. It's your best yet! Great stuff
awesome video :D
loved the music choices and how you let the gameplay speak for itself most of the time
thank you!
He’s back awesome video ❤
Love both Zain and Cody favorite rivalry.
Amazing doc, this rivalry is insane. Can't wait for Mang0 to hopefully enter the mix this year.
god the music choices for this video were excellent
Damn dude, excellent vid/editing!
People always say that melee is like jazz, but I have never seen that sentiment more well represent untill today
Those edits are fire dude
There was no jaz in the video, though....
excellent documentary. Thank you!
Fantastic video and editing
Quality content - that FT10 edit was so sick
the editing during the ludwig tournament is pure masterclass 🧑🍳
4:24 also WHAT IS THIS SONG it bumps
It really reminds me of The Seatbelts but like it’s mixed with persona’s keyboards
check description!
So Cody was 11-0 going into their 12th set, which was at Summit 12, and he won for the first time. Melee is full of poetry.
Bool your storytelling of melee is and remains magical, I'd been waiting for this and I'm so happy it's here now !
I'll always be a Zain supporter because his marth gives me wonder like no other player but man Cody is good
Hope we also get to see more Jmook this year, love the trio dynamic
The editing in this is absolute fire
Thank you!!!
Boolgod back at it again with peak, WE TAKE THOSE BOOL LFGGGGG
17:45 little known fun fact but SFAT beat Zain on FD
Zain lost on FD before Summit 11, but he had a 3 year streak of not losing there. And losing twice is what made Mango’s run insane. So yeah Cody PICKING FD and then winning.. as surreal as boolmaster puts it
Thsi is the new great rivalry of this game. What a time to be a melee fan.
Phenomenal video!!!!!!!!!!!
imo in the beginning you could've colored the Fox green instead of blue because Cody uses green Fox and Zain uses red Marth
It crazy cause a few years ago it felt like no fox was ever gonna touch zain. But now Cody's doing it no patches needed
Amazing video!!
Love your music choices, great video as always.
BOOLIN
Shocking stat about a game that’s been out over 20 years has only had seven people in number one at the end of the year
Bool master is the best RUclipsr known to man
Right back at ya buddy
If cody and zain was the grand finals for every tournament i wouldn't complain, their sets are electric
Amazing video really inspires me to compete in locals
Amazing video, keep up the great work ♥
This was a masterpiece of a video
cody my goat. as someone whos watched more cody gameplay than any human prob should have, especially in the era where zain was wiping the floor with him, its been fantastic to see him on top of everything this last year
W video and W hivemind clip at the end
Back to melee videos. Yeah buddy!
amazing video ❤
Love this video. I'm definitely on the Zain train. He is still my #1 in my heart but Cody definitely is the big guy to beat right now.
This video was awesome
It's really cool how you'll never truly know who'll be at the top one day. Those people in the venue watching Cody and Zain face off for the first time probably had no idea they'd be the gods of today. Just like it's always been.

Here from Hbox's stream.
Incredible video!
Great content dude!
superb editing man. love the video. you a FL guy?
Florida?
Perfect vid at a perfect time
immediate top 25 melee vid of all time with lots of room to climb
You have "Mang0 & Axe" subtitled on a video clip around the 1:12 mark, but its Mang0 & PPMD
THE GOAT RETURNS!!!!
I love the place the music has like in the final game zain being the drum part and cody the melodic instruments is just great beatiful video
Thank you!
sick vid

this is the best melee video i've ever watched
thank you!!!!!
This video has been drummer approved
What mic did you use for this, cause it actually sounds good
I’ve been using the same mic as always, I just finally know how to use it lmfao
"We don't wanna see a steamroll"
t. Never had a hated rival
Script can use some cleaning up, but the editing and storytelling is clean. Looking forward to more
loved that you had j-music all over this video! always great to see pat bartley getting more love!
They are amazing!
i saw someone say cody’s style was “cocaine fox” and i think that’s accurate
LOL
