people go against fixed code issue like Game and watch aerials air cancelling bug for stupid reasons , no wonder why in melee you only see fox,Faldo and Marth a fk fire emblem character
Would really like to mention that 2 weeks before DPOTG, Nicki won SAPF, his first EU major event in his home city, beating multiple top 10 EU players, after getting reverse 3-0'd in the two previous EU major grand finals (Fete and Valhalla). He wasn't just steamrolling Europe then losing close sets in NA, he struggled to close even at home and it looks like winning SAPF might have been the real breakthrough !
The Melee magic came out in full force for DP. These kinds of runs are why Melee has never died, and I can't wait to see what Melee's future has in store for us.
Sheik v ics is so bad for sheik, zelda is definetly the better option espically if the ics dont know the matchup its like 50-50 (maybe even 55-45 for zelda if u believe the zelda mains)
More than any other game, there's something special about melee. This game came out in an era with a lot of other fighting games that hold a lot of prestige and nostalgia, but melee stands above them in in the regard that it's competitive scene marches on stronger than it did yesterday. I think that's something pretty beautiful.
Nicki might have the single most impressive ice climbers run of all time, beating the top 3 of the previous ranking year, 2 different top 50 peaches, and a few extra top 15 wins just as the icing on the cake. I really hope to see more of Nicki, he's really picking up the torch that Ice carried for so long
Can't believe I missed moky's first major win, but seeing this incredibly well done video from you made me just as emotional as I would have been if I saw it live. Once again Walt your editing and creativity in every part of these videos is so inspiring. Keep up the incredible work!
So the last time top 4 at a Melee major comprised of players who never won a major was at TG6. it's also pretty interesting that at that same tournament, Azen won TG6 without running into the Number 1 player, Ken, and that Moky won Don't Park in the Grass without running into current Number 1, Zain.
Acing 100 wins in a row is a great way to train to not lose. The most exciting tourney since amsa’s first major win. Insane runs everywhere. And banger final scene music. Thank you for the beautiful art, Walt.
Don't Park on the Grass has Sony PVMs?!?!??! I would grind melee for my life just to take one of those home with me, let alone just being able to play on one would be a dream come true, those colors must look amazing!!
@@yoyofalcon4216 said he should have gone to the tournament after all because it "was free" and congratulated Nicki on "a gimmick run". Just all around lame behaviour
@@Alex-gv4rv that same top 4 collectively beat zain, cody, hbox, amsa, jmook etc. Crazy to say the tournament would have "been free" for him when he probably would've gotten washed by cody or zain.
@@youri7229 What an asshole thing for Mango to say. I don't know why he can't just be excited for the people who are winning and would rather than rip them down and shit talk them. The fact each person got as far as they did is a testament to the dedication they have put into this game.
it's rare that i get to catch an event live, and i'm so ecstatic that don't park was one of them. i was yelling and cheering and chanting along with the crowd in my chair at home. amazing event, never thought i'd cheer so hard for an icies lol
Hey Walt, thanks for all your hard work on the elaborate Melee content, man. To engage a little, just wanted to ask - How did you get started on video editing with Melee?
Appreciate it! I taught myself video editing while I was studying to be an engineer, and started by doing mini combo videos heavily inspired by old League/CoD montages -- things really didn't start taking off until around the pandemic though!
This was such a cool tournament to watch live. I just recently got back into the smash scene and took a liking to melee and watching this and knowing the history behind it was just so cool to see happen
There was just so much craziness here, holy shit was I not prepared for it, and honestly even though people were saying that for example moky was "up next" (for a win), I just didn't think he would actually do it. And it was also like a weird mix in the top there, with both icies and link, but also surprisingly many foxes. Like how often, really, are the grand finals just two foxes? How often are 3 of the 4 top spots foxes? He might be S+ tier, yet there is almost always some diversity. Also imagine the number one player in the world losing to two different mid-tiers. :D
Yeah I just accidentally mixed them up when I was reading my script -- it's sort of addressed later in the video when I show the Wavelength set count. My fault!
Josh you’re my favorite player. love how you play. sometimes when I watch u fw the sticks it makes me think about if I was ur girl I’d be like Joshmaan come to bed stop gaminggg. and u would be all like nah babe I gotta game there’s a bunch of fat dudes that pay me for this
Does anyone know where I can find VODs of Shroomed playing from this tourney? I heard a commentator say "DaJuan just got a Doc win" during the Junebug vs Frenzy set, but couldn't find any record of it. Only saw 1 video with his name in the Galint archive but he was playing Shiek
Hope Aklo can win a major while he can still beat Zain with Link. I fear that one day Zain is gonna show up and there is zero chance the Link will work. I hope I am wrong. Glad for moky, he played some tight sets tis tourney

wooo mid tiers
I’m a GnW main and I think next year we could see a GnW revolution
wooo monkey

this may be the best year for melee in a long time
and next year will be even better, trust
since 2022?
except that there was no big house this year :(
So good to see a Link and ICs absolutely crushing in 2024
I like seeing Link
Icies can go to hell
Non-wobbling icies are sick
This might be the most entertaining era of Melee imo
The Melee magic came out in full force for DP. These kinds of runs are why Melee has never died, and I can't wait to see what Melee's future has in store for us.
"granted he played zelda" Competitors are in charge of their own outcomes. If Jmook thought Zelda was better that's his choice. Don't downplay a upset
Sheik v ics is so bad for sheik, zelda is definetly the better option espically if the ics dont know the matchup its like 50-50 (maybe even 55-45 for zelda if u believe the zelda mains)
@@pennydime4562 Drepben did the same thing except he'd only do it for early %s against ICs and when they hit a high % he'd switch to Shiek to kill
Incredibly factual.Weird odd miss from tdfw here. Tremendous job on the video otherwise.
this tournament was crazy
More than any other game, there's something special about melee.

20:20 He's only the 22nd person in 23 years to win a major? wow.... That's statistic alone deserves its own video
Nicki might have the single most impressive ice climbers run of all time, beating the top 3 of the previous ranking year, 2 different top 50 peaches, and a few extra top 15 wins just as the icing on the cake. I really hope to see more of Nicki, he's really picking up the torch that Ice carried for so long
Recency Bias is crazy
amazing run, still behind wobbles evo 2013, but amazing run nonetheless
@@Zega_ Completely agree, amazing ICs run from Nicki though
@@Zega_ that was with legal wobbling tho...
was not expecting that hair frame 1
I am very happy that I watched this tournament live. Very neat, I’m sad that Nicki didn’t win.
If you had predicted this top 8 bracket before the tournament happened, you would have been into medical care, that was unreal
It’s amazing how fun it is to watch Mid tiers vs. how it feels to play against them 😂😭 I’ll always love them
Moky won even after HBox tried to sabotage him with that hand punch
The thumbnail does NOT do the video justice 😭 If I didn’t see turn down for walt, I would not have clicked
Patiently waiting on when Bowser wins a Supermajor in 2027 and Walt makes a video on it. Or at least the eventual Bowser video.
Loadspiller stocks are up
15:45 very minor detail but moky beat HBox at tipped off 15 and was extremely happy to be the one ending his top 8 streak
moky my daily goat
I'm literally obsessed with that Mario walking and talking edit at 11:55 😂
good thing joey donuts wasn't in bracket this time around
he was there but he lost to aura and fiction
Underrated comment
3-1 cody into a 3-0 Zain, Nicki was on fire 🔥
Can't believe I missed moky's first major win, but seeing this incredibly well done video from you made me just as emotional as I would have been if I saw it live. Once again Walt your editing and creativity in every part of these videos is so inspiring. Keep up the incredible work!

Honey, wake up! New Walt!
Somehow, Walt did it again
Walt kills it again
Acing 100 wins in a row is a great way to train to not lose. The most exciting tourney since amsa’s first major win. Insane runs everywhere. And banger final scene music. Thank you for the beautiful art, Walt.

19:32 The Mango diss is insane 💀
Did mango call it a mickey mouse major?

@@youri7229 I mean it was kinda lame but also true that the top 4 would have been free for him. But also just show up to the tournament then lol

I know everyone says this on every video but I swear the production value somehow keeps going up
ooommgg ich bin ssooo betrunken 😭😭 nickiiiiii 😭😭
Lets Gooooo 🇩🇪
i dont play melee, nor have i ever, but GOD i love melee content
Same
it's rare that i get to catch an event live, and i'm so ecstatic that don't park was one of them. i was yelling and cheering and chanting along with the crowd in my chair at home. amazing event, never thought i'd cheer so hard for an icies lol
‘Turn Down for Walt’ more like ‘Press Like on this Video’!
Editing quality and content is amazing, very enjoyable to watch ❤️
Icees is actually my favorite character in this game
Very cool top 4, but Nicki's tournament run was by far the best.
Hey Walt, thanks for all your hard work on the elaborate Melee content, man.

Hopefully you make a vidéo, I wouldn’t have known how crazy it was otherwize
Anyone got the frame data on Hungrybox's f smash at 16:00?
Amazing coverage! Would love to see these for all the big tourneys in the future
LETS GO NICKI
Someone needs to make a video about Walt’s meteoric rise to the greatest producer of Melee videos
This was such a cool tournament to watch live. I just recently got back into the smash scene and took a liking to melee and watching this and knowing the history behind it was just so cool to see happen
Don't park is always hype and has cool upsets and storyline for some reason
wake up babe new walt

The Nicki/Swedish Delight set was wild just because Swedish went Game and Watch
Melee is sick dude
15:40 I thought Hbox lost to moky at tipped off? That’s what ended his top 8 streak
Yeah I just accidentally mixed them up when I was reading my script -- it's sort of addressed later in the video when I show the Wavelength set count. My fault!
Nicki's "nice back air" sweatshirt goes SO hard. I need one of those YESTERDAY
Mango not attending was a major bummer.
Losing to Lucky fucked him up real good, dude lost all will to keep trying this year
holy shit that intro
melee is sick
Absolutely insane tournament
historic tourney
ahahaha hbox’s angry little fistbump at moky was soooo failcore
I think the craziest stat here might be that everyone in Moky’s path had beaten him in their previous set
Thanks for makin this mr. downforwalt
Is Nicki TOP 10 potential? Hell Yeah it sucks we might not see much more i heard his schedule is wild he works Full Time
I’m moking I’m doking
for germany's sake, please give us a nicki video
i literally saw this spawn on my feed lmao damn
lol =
@@raphaelmacasaet1081 equals what?
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
100 wins in a row was worth it.
Always love the content, thanks for being so consistent and making them all with such quality :)
That hbox puff pound 16:03
me when i see that fox win against puff ''UNPLUG YOUR CONTROLLER , FORFIET MY *****''
Crazy good editing homie
hey y'know who was the TO for the last fox ditto grands? isn't that something.
thanks for making this video walt :)
Walt all I want to say is that your dog has the sweetest eyes ever oh my god
Yo who was that girl cheering for Joshman? God damn she was going off for him. Cheerleader like that gonna make anyone have a heart of a lion
Finally, Walt.
Thumbnail art is so cute!!
Josh you’re my favorite player. love how you play. sometimes when I watch u fw the sticks it makes me think about if I was ur girl I’d be like Joshmaan come to bed stop gaminggg. and u would be all like nah babe I gotta game there’s a bunch of fat dudes that pay me for this
that’s what I’m saying
New Walt video right in time for my lunch break yeahhhhH
hes done it again its another 🔥video
nicki video please, thank you! 🧊
IM MOKING IM DOKING
Does anyone know where I can find VODs of Shroomed playing from this tourney? I heard a commentator say "DaJuan just got a Doc win" during the Junebug vs Frenzy set, but couldn't find any record of it. Only saw 1 video with his name in the Galint archive but he was playing Shiek
god if anyone deserved it, it was moky. what an amazing story for this tournament.
dude, I love melee
you gotta give us the grands in single games. Dont just go to the end if you hyped it up so fckn well
Dont park was the sickest top 8 ive ever seen
Moky is the new Leffen
Link has more wins against Zain than Fox in 2024 lmfao
What amazing mambo song is in the beginning of this video?
I’m a melee spectator - why does Nicki dash dance during some desync grab combos? Is it tech or style?
Hope Aklo can win a major while he can still beat Zain with Link. I fear that one day Zain is gonna show up and there is zero chance the Link will work. I hope I am wrong. Glad for moky, he played some tight sets tis tourney
woo more walt
history? why isnt it in the history books that i get...
True...
One day nicki and June will get their win!
MOK CANADA 🇨🇦
interaction :)
I love Melee
Woot 🎉
joder amo el Melee
Oh fuck yes. Fuck yessss
Walt i'm sorry there's no way you're calling icies mid tiers
