Super Smash Bros. Melee has seen over two decades of competitive play, but while the world of Melee singles has been sharpened into something highly optimized and technical, it only represents a percentage of what the game has to offer, even when factoring in competitive play.
In this video, we will explore the oft-misunderstood game mode Giant Melee, the game mode where characters are more big and meet the players who have helped push the mode to new heights in recent years.
This video was a project I started last year that kind of ballooned as they tend to do. Much appreciation to @DarkGenex, @Miffee, Preeminent, Nicki, aMSa, puunk_, ycz and more for their contributions.

Huge video! I've been a Giant Melee appreciator since Justin first got me to play it in his hotel room at Shine 2019, and I'm super glad to see it get more recognition through videos like this and even having multiple majors. It's especially awesome to see many friends like Justin, Preeminent, Ex-Girlfriend, and basically everyone else in this video all get featured for what they have brought to this game mode. Giant Melee is a world where the unbelievable becomes the norm, and it's up to each player to get out there and discover new things. Thanks for making this!

I see you with that Pokemon TCG music, wonderful choice there. I've often enjoyed both participating in and hosting more specialized tournaments, so I do know the pain of seeing so many people sign up for one only for a large chunk to not show up. Even so, stuff like this is more than just a welcome break from the standard meta. My first exposure to Giant Melee was recent, when I came across some vods here on RU-vid while I was looking up clips for a different tournament, and it certainly caught my attention. I do think it has the potential to cement itself as a recurring event at tournaments, though the gears in my head are also wondering what other modes could make for interesting events as well. My thoughts immediately turned to Mini Melee, but my intuition tells me that it'd actually take away most of the factors that make Giant Melee worth playing, so I'm assuming that one's off the table.

I think giant melee may promote a player's capacity to approach and to handle disadvantage, bc when a bad decision can throw away a stock that easily, you start to look more for ways to go around the opponent's options and start your offense
