Mew2King's Behind The Scenes Commentary on The Melee Smash Documentary 

‘I created the meta, so I would know” 😂 Savage2King

M2k trained so hard, he pulled a Saitama and lost his hair

"That's very suboptimal" is the most M2K thing I've ever heard.

'I'm not a robot, that term is very inaccurate. It just represents having tech skill.' That's what a robot would say!

"basement dwelling nerd" *laughs to self nervously*

So M2K playing in his sleep was a lie this whole time

I love how that video is so old yet hungry box was still in the same sort of mood years later

Narrator: Korean DJ one of the best players of all time. M2K: why would you fair there? This dude is TRASH

M2K talking about how beating people makes him feel bad because he empathizes with them reminds me of MKLeo's SmashCon interview. Leo didn't pop off against Samsora or even look all that happy...because he knows he made a ridiculous comeback and his opponent must feel awful for losing. Celebrate your achievements, M2K, but hold on to that empathy you feel for your opponents. It respects them as competitors and as human beings.

m2k: "why would you let someone else win, even if for fun" "I got someone to donate 20k" M2k: "Honestly, I am melee"

m2k talking about how good he got fighting computers is hilarious and i'm absolutely in love with this video

M2k really hit that kid with "I created the meta so I know"

The vod is still on m2k's twitch channel if someone wants to see the full thing. Edit: Name of VOD is "Melee Practice then Smash Doc Stream! (First time watching)". The doc starts at 2:52:39 :) Edit 2: Twtich vods get deleted after 60days or so if you can't find it that's why

You're awesome Jason, you went into the Big House 9 with the idea that you didn't want your viewers expecting much. However, after beating HBox, and iBDW in a close set, and getting 5th, after almost a year retired, you're still the GOAT man. I'll be backing you in whatever you decide to do after this moving forward. Also got to see this live on twitch, chat was losing it's shit at the fact that the sleeping tech practice was a joke, kek.

Just want to say that this editor is great! Really understands what makes mew2king a funny and unique person and puts a spotlight on the best moments. Keep it up!

1:30 "Ah you think Marth FD chain grabs are your ally? You merely adopted the chain grab. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't lose a stock on FD until I was already a man."

"m2k was that basement dwelling nerd" - his reaction LOL

Shoutouts to NOVA

Hes totally right about how crazy the smack talk used to be back in the day.

m2k is behind the rise of every top smash player since 05 and none of us knew better

I've actually never watched the documentary either, but this makes me want to rectify that, because M2K is the embodiment of "hard work beats talent" and that's one of the reasons he will always be my favorite Melee player. It was cool hearing M2K tell the stories, especially the NOVA tag, which I was curious about when I started watching Melee.

I think "savant" is a better word for M2K than "robot".

Its crazy that M2K is the reason Melee is alive. It would be dead without revival of melee and Evo 2013. M2K is Melee

Forgot they did the producers friend like that 🤣

Whenever M2K comments on how anyone is not playing optimally in this video I can't help but laugh

21:01 that recovery though

M2K: I wanted to be like Goku and Vegeta growing up We all did, brother, we all did. :)

I finally finished melee twice

Idk if m2k will ever read this but youve always been my favorite player in melee and I truly want to thank you for everything you have done for melee. Melee would not have gotten to where it was without you so thank you so much! The melee community misses you ❤

Glad to hear Isai is a happy person after all

“I am the documentary.”

Someone not M2K: says something M2K: That is inaccurate. Someone not M2K: Does Something M2K: That is sub optimal.

I’ve been looking forward to this

Had fun watching this. Loved your performance at TBH, hope we see more sick M2K bracket runs soon. The Melee's always better with you in the mix.

I legit remember getting a message from Jason Zimmerman (who I think at that point hadn't spoken to me much) saying "Hey vote for Melee in this facebook poll" and then like a week or so later "Hey Donate for melee". I actually was inactive on smashboards so I had no Idea about the spirit bomb situation but once I found out I also donated and started messaging everyone. That was such a great time.

I love to see how much Mew2King has changed and grown over the years, coming out of his shell, it really is amazing to see. Love ya man.

Hell of a documentary huh.. Ive watched it like 3x

thanks so much for doing this m2k, your the best dude

Dude. M2K. You're like a brother to me. Your IQ inceptions and projections are much like mine. The difference here is that I was always afraid to use my ability for contest. WAS, though. I always hated the idea of being rivalled. Seeing people get bitter just because you're good at something always brushed me the wrong way. Now that I'm over that, it makes all the difference. The legend is here.

16:00 would really like to see a video about your friendship with zero The whole segment was so wholesome.. Everyone needs a friend like that!

"Pasty white kid?"

I really really relate to what he was saying at the end, if I see my opponent getting frustrated, I’ll usually try to dial it back cause I’ll feel bad... losing in a fighting game is frustrating man😂

CONGRATS ON 5TH IN SINGLES AND 1ST IN DOUBLES

That was a great story you told at the end. Thanks

22:26 Achievement Unlocked - “Empathy” On a serious note, I loved this commentary. I need to go back and watch the full version. ❤️M2K

this is awesome. love this m2k

Really digging the P5 music just started playing last week

@1:23 i said "lol, only m2k can make fun of 2007 melee" unfortunately he misinterpreted my statement as an insult when infact, it was a compliment for the exact reasons he laid out.

Can’t wait for the book! Hope there is an audiobook version and that you read it !!

I like how the doc is about the emotion and pathos and such of the players and yet all M2K cared about was the unoptimal gameplay.

Y’all need to just upload Jason reacting to each episode! I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE

I hope the whole viewing gets posted, theres too many golden moments to fit in just a highlights video

The dude that donated thanks unknown legend.

7:22 Jason is like the Forrest Gump of melee

M2K, you did AMAZINGLY given you hadn't entered for basically a year... I hope you'll be entering more often now, if you're having fun ofc

M2k dying at the end with the relaxing music on the background = straight to TOP 10 wholesome deaths of anime.

From everything I've seen about M2K, I always thought that he was just faking the sleep melee practice. Long live the M2K

DAMN I thought M2K was actually playing in his sleep the whole time

lmao this has to be one of the best videos on youtube i wonder how many people have been waiting for his input of the smash doc for awhile wondering what he thinks of what was said, what was actually true, things like response to what ken said or what the players summed up his playstyle or how he thought, the 2006/07 era, that tournament vs mang0 etc. definitely just wondering what happened behind the scenes from m2ks pov. especially the sleep/couch troll lmao. things even like brawl being more popular for the first 5 years is interesting. back when i disliked smash and only knew of brawl, it seemed it was the only thing people would play on the wii, but looking it at it from a competitive stand point and not knowing of the scenes or games at the time, it seems looking back at it that melee was more popular despite it not being so. i barely knew about melee then or 64, people always made up things about the games so the timeline and facts about the games were never true or understood.melee was considered the 2nd smash, newer. brawl or melee was slightly discussed over what was the best, people mentioned 64 and it was considered fake or at least never mentioned when it was, and that supposedly pikachu and kirby were broken. i hated smash till 4 was given as a gift from a friend at school on the 3ds. i remember another friend wanting to give me the unlimited demo but i thought it was pointless, the title screen didnt even help give controls, just said special and attack button lol. i ended up trying to learn pikachu on the demo by dash attacking till the edge of the stage and using smash attacks, barely learning quick attack as a recovery, marios up b, and links up b. (i still havent used up all the remaining attempts) during brawl, people would never tell you the controls and you had to play on the damn wii mote, just to be beaten in a pokemon battle (trainer vs trainer) of all items on spear pillar (i think). i remember always wanting to play pikachu or meta knight and they were considered bad, and i could never recover or understand how final smashes worked, any fucking controls. now ive wasted money on the wii u for 4, and the gc controller and stupid knock off adapter, time on melee and 20xx, now i recently got the switch for ultimate despite despising the idea knowing its not possible, and i find no friends want to play smash anymore. its weird to think what it would be like if i could understand then, play and learn then. i feel the same towards things like yugioh, always wanting to try until i finally did, and learning about competing was amazing. now esports is huge and im still wondering if i should try smash ultimate, melee, more of yugioh, counter strike and try things like magic the gathering, or even speed cubing for the rubiks cube. i wanted to try clash royale but the community is not great. i think its ironic he mentioned that hiatus before rom and getting 2nd, he just recently had the hiatus for tbh9 and placed i think 5th? at least i think that was what was said in the esports espn video that was recommended. and then he just got 2nd at elgx a day or 2 ago. i keep thinking about him sometime beating mang0 probably because of the damn pound thing (lol) but also because of the past sets vs mang0.

Congrats on the Big House win jason!!!

m2k ur my fav pro player of any game at all ever and i love you

“I created the meta, so I would know” is a very M2k thing to say

lol when the dude called m2k a basement dwelling nerd he was like: 👁👄👁

M2K has such an amazing memory

The end theme to this doc makes me cry....

22:00 I know that feel all too well. I stop playing well when crushing an opponent. It's sad in the strangest, most draining way.

Mang0 was talking about him praying to god to get dreamland before the set with you in an old stream I think

"i created the meta so i would know" lolm2k i love you and your content m2k

Jason Zimmerman. A genius of hard work.

M2K: I'm actually the exact opposite of a robot

woah that 20k story is huge! I wish more people knew it.

It is time for a new documentary!!!! Make it happen now

I wish I was there for the whole stream

I'm wearing the same shirt as M2K

This video feels like it’s long overdue

Most players: you can't get good only fighting cpu's M2K: Hold my controller.

I'm really surprised M2K hasn't seen the documentary before now. Cool to watch the reactions tho.

*doesn’t mention scar in the spirit Bomb at the end*

Wow m2k didnt watch the doc till this many years later? Thats crazy

Gotta love m2k!

M2K truly did become a splendid shinobi with hard work and perseverance.

Your friend from Australia is amazing for doing that 20k donation.

Wife’s random audio throughout this was hilarious 😂

Out of all the competitive Smash players M2K is probably the most iconic!

“I created the meta, so I would know”

Thought this was an old video but apparently you just uploaded it lmbo

can someone link the twitch vod? cant find it :o

11:45 WTF I watched that video as a child like a decade ago and thought it was real all these years

Damn I didn't know about that 20k donation, did that man save Melee?

You're awesome Jason, I love you bro

You did create the meta.. M2k 4ever

this is fucking great

Anyone have a link to the full vod?

Only player from so long back then who still is at the top is m2k. It is incredible

11:51 :”You were the chosen one”

Nah I don't believe for a second he hasn't watched it

Man i hear ya there, bummed out that someone you have respect for lost their hope.

Love you

I am a Brawl sympathizer who's been around for a while and I would tell people about how the doc intentionally made Brawl look awful; and how Brawl was a bigger game than Melee. People would look at me like i was some delusional liar. I'm glad Jason addressed this.

m2k is the only human who is truly honest
