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.

proof that modern melee lore is sick af

@wettuna1769 Месяц назад

It's just as sick there's so many different storylines going on cuz so many more people are so good. I think it will be appreciated more as time goes on. Especially now seeing how Cody turned out to be so annoyingly good like I always thought spacies were just always gonna be the underdogs because they're just not gonna be as consistent throughout a whole year but he's definitely starting to prove that wrong. And seeing the only 2 people that have been able to take him out this year being mango and hbox and the way cody is just shitting on Zain now idk I love melee I watch every single major it has never gotten stale to me.

@zjmullan Месяц назад

@@wettuna1769 right, 2024 has been sick af lately too. We need scar or someone similar to craft another grand narrative like the 5 gods. Zain is already called big dog which is hilarious when they say things like "there's quite a large dog in the loser's bracket."

@-shi.v- 3 месяца назад

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

@yakomachaco7611 3 месяца назад

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.

@heartnet40 3 месяца назад

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.

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

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)

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!

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.
