GOML X was my first gaming event of any kind that I have been to, and man was it just surreal, chill, amazing, and so much fun. Watching melee for over 6 hours on Sunday just flew by it was so entertaining
Doing this for the first few years with Joe were some of the best memories of my life. Seeing those photos of the old York U events is super nostalgic. 7:50 love this photo so much!
Love to see that there are still tournament series out there growing and getting better every year, especially now. GOML could eventually be the premier Melee tournament of every year with how dedicated the group of people putting it together are. As a Canadian, definitely love this tournament series and seeing Smash get this much notoriety in Canada.
TOJoe is an asbolute legend. Was so inviting to me when I was new to the scene going to his weeklies and has always been such a great supporter of all who are into melee. Deserves all the success.
GOMLX was my first GOML so this video was a must watch for me to learn the history! Thank you for posting! Definitely gained a subscriber :D Also, special thanks to GOML for hosting my partner and his buds (Toronto Evolved) and allowing us a space to bring our rhythm games to the venue. We had a lot of fun and met a lot of amazing people.
GOML 2022 was my first ever super major event, met all the top players I could, did shots with Hugs and got free boat party tickets out of it, but best of all, I got to interview you Walt! I hope I can interview you again in the future! GOML 4EVER BABY
i think the disclaimer at the start is great But i dont rly know what the point of censoring the individuals is, seems weird to me. if you can acknowledge that problematic people were a part of this games history why would you not show them? but im interested to hear the thought behind this
Hey Walt, if you’re open to feedback - the 1-2 hour documentaries are cool, and I appreciate the work that goes into them. However I struggle to find the time to sit down for such a long video as a viewer with a full time job. I love the 8-20 min videos because I can watch them during my commute. Just a thought! I also miss the old top 8 highlight videos, the community seemed to stop making them. I just don’t have the time to watch tournaments live, but I want to keep up with the scene. Maybe you could help with that! Love the hustle, keep it up!
I love your disclaimers when you talk about anything pre-2020 - we can't rewrite people completely out of it, but we have to acknowledge that people who were doing bad things were here and, in a conflicting manner, contributed greatly to the scene at the time.
30:00 for those who didn't get it, SFat exclaimed after beating Zain at Frame Perfect Series 4 Online: "Nobody beats me 18 times in a row!" because Zain had won the last 17, so it's easy to forget that Sfat took 3 of 4 sets prior to that streak
Got me crying before the first half hour of the video. This might be my favorite smash video & I've never even knew I was this interested in how it all starts.
Given how much of a nuke EVO 2020 and everything around it/other events soon after were to a lot of the community, I can only imagine what things will even be like once inevitably the next Smash bros is announced. Assuming it even gets any excitement since I've seen more and more of a growing resentment towards the series and especially its fanbase over the past 2-3 years from a lot of people from other fanbases sick of hearing about it.
I miss your ESPN type coverages of every major. I understand that most in the community is probably going to watch the actual tournament so it might be redundant for them, but I just wanted to voice that I miss it. Fwiw, I’m purely a spectator enjoyer of melee now of days. It was admittedly the easiest way for me to find out that a tournament even happened lol. But I enjoy your content regardless
goml x is the first tourny that i watched the majority of, through pools to grands, and got me to try learning the game again and im having fun with it. and great video keep it up king :DD
Slippi really did, not only save melee, but usher us into a new era of new players that are now able to practice online instead of having to travel to tournaments
Are there actually people who would watch 90 minutes about a melee tournament in canada who need an explanation of what wobbling is? God, times have changed for the better :)
the reverse popoff is possibly the most cringe thing that has ever happened in the history of the melee scene... watching him yell in juan's face then cling to him almost falling over just gives me the worst type of second hand embarrassment

1:11 that is a very unfortunate Pic for Humming for your ad
I like how pretty much every single Smash documentary has a segment along the lines of
>"Everything was going great..."
>2020
"even if Nintendo sent me a cease and desist i wouldve still ran that shit." Man has fucking balls lmao. Fuckin support that shit!
hearing commentator walt screaming immediately followed by professional video walt is unintentional comedy and I love it
Business in the front party in the back
@@turndownforwaltstop I see the image tied to that caption 🥲

Requiring a work visa but not being allowed one because it’s not considered a sport is classic government inefficiency lmao
"that's not recommended that's fatal" lmfaoo
Saved many lives that day 🙏
Goml is my hometown tournament and I’m so happy it exists.
GOML might just be my favorite series, lots of great vibes this year
I was vibing until hbox destroyed that chair. I had to say nope after taht
@@chullupa womp womp
@@chullupa since the tos don't care, why do you?

TK at the end going for the clasp with Vish but hitting the frame perfect reaction shake was 🔥🔥🔥

The ultimate Riddles/Sonix set was crazy, that DAir was insane from Riddles

There is no one on your level. Thank you Walt 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes, I've been liking what you've been doing. The longer format is great.

Quang also got 13th. two dk's in top 24.
I want to see another tourney with big house 9 style player cams. They really added to the hype

Took me a couple days to watch it all but I enjoyed it. Thank you so much Walt
I'm still convinced that the hbox popoff is what broke the stream setup at 2024
42:21 that's my fucking GOAT right there
20:19 how
bro forgot the artist formerly known as ZODD. AKA Lavitz-01, MilkMan, and Joji

Such amazing content 🔥
Man if Crush never stopped he would be top 5 today no question
i think the disclaimer at the start is great But i dont rly know what the point of censoring the individuals is, seems weird to me. if you can acknowledge that problematic people were a part of this games history why would you not show them? but im interested to hear the thought behind this
Amazing video!! Loved it!
This is gonna be a banger
walt we gotta get you to watch the underground crew battles next year at goml that shit goes crazy
this is a great video, dont let the views fool you walt, canada smash loves you
joes been in the community longer than 2012, i joined 2009 and joe was already going to tournaments
Yeah he corrected me on that but I didn't want to cut him off mid-interview
damn too bad we couldn't keep Leffen out of the US forever.. funny that the country banned him before the melee community did
9:58 Is that gimmer in the back? I though we were censoring bad people in this community
AMAZING VIDEO!
I love GOML
57:18 this

Song at 31:38?

Turns out, it is possible to do multiple things at the same time
i was looking at your channel last night wondering when the next video would be god bless
Here's a video of me playing against TO Joe and M2K in project M if anyone is interested:

Walt documentaries are always top tier!
Walt releasing a new documentary on a friday afternoon. What a great way to start the long weekend. Way to read the room walt, you are the best ❤

Great video Walt, enjoyed watching the full thing. Love to see some coverage on a Canadian Tournament!
Got me crying before the first half hour of the video. This might be my favorite smash video & I've never even knew I was this interested in how it all starts.
Massive video drop to start the summer 👀

58:35 so sick how there is another 5 way tie with counters again rightnow.
Joe: love the Mimikyu plushie, based
omg at 5:44 I finally noticed the cat, double based
Do a video on how unfair Hax$ ban is❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for repping toronto walt
1:10:06 dill is so gorgeous
Great video!
Leffen’s GOML run is one of my oldest memories of my competitive melee experience. Truly an amazing melee moment and an amazing tournament series.

goml x is the first tourny that i watched the majority of, through pools to grands, and got me to try learning the game again and im having fun with it. and great video keep it up king :DD
goml will be my first major next year i already have my pass pot and have always wanted to fo to canada. iv always heard good things about goml.
Slippi really did, not only save melee, but usher us into a new era of new players that are now able to practice online instead of having to travel to tournaments
yeah goml is sick af. i'm waiting for them to upload the crew battles from goml x
Seems like you have a dead clip at around 26:44
as a person who lived candada for a decade yuh
What canadian made this graphic 23:20
nice
Sick video!
Are there actually people who would watch 90 minutes about a melee tournament in canada who need an explanation of what wobbling is? God, times have changed for the better :)
Yeah
the reverse popoff is possibly the most cringe thing that has ever happened in the history of the melee scene... watching him yell in juan's face then cling to him almost falling over just gives me the worst type of second hand embarrassment
Having the big 3 tournaments being Genesis, Big House, and GOML is such a blessing for the scene.
4 big tournaments. Super Smash con is right there
good video turndownforwalt thankyou
