I laughed so hard when Walt was hyping up how good Armada was playing just to see him reach down for water and come up with a full gallon of orange juice lol
@@acat3772 I was saying that as in he's (hopefully) coming back in the not too distant future. He's been practicing a lot and seems in a much better place mentally. He keeps saying he's getting close.
I had one of the very first pools on the first day of Apex before the venue collapsed. I remember it like yesterday. Even before changing venues, the tournament was being run very poorly. I got barely any sleep because my round was scheduled so early, but then they didn't actually start for nearly an hour after the posted time because they waited for other people who didn't show up. Sure enough, I got cheesed by a few floaties and got eliminated way earlier than I was projected to. And that's why I pulled the fire alarm.
The most insane event I've ever been to. The worst part is the old hotel did almost everything in their power to screw people. In my example they originally refused our request to get our room refunded even when our event got totally cancelled. It was insane. I believe the hotel manager was arrested for fraud/negligence/something after all of this went down but don't quote me on that. I was one of the people that helped put CRTs onto trucks to get them out of there, it was a group effort but even helping in such a small way was a great boost to my connection with the scene and the people in it. It was a team effort to get this thing running, shout out to all the TOs, both originally on staff and not, who put incredible amount of preparation into working and saving this event. I strongly believe Melee wouldn't exist in the way it does today without Apex 2015. Much love
Also to make it even more crazy: I remember for a brief moment there were talks of plans in place, not sure if they were ever officially discussed, but they were planning to maybe host a 1000+ person event FROM PLAYERS HOTEL ROOMS. That's how dedicated the scene was to making this happen. Events like this inspire me to keep doing what i'm doing, to this day.
Walt regrettably I only just got to watching this today. This was so fucking amazing man, thanks for sharing the story of this god forsaken tournament in all of its weirdness. Really happy with how you told every story.
aMSa made history here. I'll never forget seeing aMSa's Apex 2015 and KoC4 clips in GRSmash videos that shook my view of Melee forever. Before that, it was just a party game that had some pretty cool 1P modes. Competitive Melee quickly became my favourite eSport to watch in late 2016. Long live this wonderful game.
Walt, I appreciate your work so much man. These documentaries top most of the big budget documentaries I've seen this year and here I am watching it on UA-cam for free! Your talent is unparalleled.
Apex 2015 was the first tournament I watched live after starting out in late 2014, and man was it an amazing spectator experience. Definitely one of the biggest factors that got me so invested in the Melee community. Can't wait to relive those highs watching an hour-long Walt documentary!
I got into competitive melee around the same time and I swear I’ve seen you commenting on like 95% of all melee videos I’ve watched. I started to recognize your profile picture, then your name. Lol
@@deep_cuts2019 Lmao, yeah I just have a habit of commenting on stuff when I watch it, and an even bigger habit of watching every Melee video I come across. I like to share my thoughts/tell creators when I like their work, since it feels like it's often taken for granted. I'm pretty sure I have seen you around in the comments as well!
An absolute masterpiece, you've done justice to one of the most goated events in Melee history that catalysed countless people's interest in melee, myself included. Bravo.
Never stop making documentaries please! The production value is just too good, and we need people to appreciate every single bit of the journey this game and its community went. Thanks walt!
Apex 2015 was the first smash tournament I ever watched, and it's what got me into the scene. Really excited to see this, and learn more of the context
PPMD yelling "I did it!" will make me tear up. Man I wish I went to a tournament during that era but I'm glad the tournaments are here on UA-cam, along side great docs like this. When we're out of this pandemic, I'll be sure to see you all at a Smash Tournament!
This is my favourite tournament of all time. My friend couldn't watch because his dad dragged him to watch the SuperBowl so I live texted him the whole thing. Great vid walt
*READ FOR IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS!* I’m very excited to launch turndownforwalt.com/ -- a brand new merch store! Check it out and pick up some sweet LIMITED TIME threads from The APEX 2015 or My B Collections in celebration of this documentary. Speaking of merch, I’ve hidden 5 DISCOUNT CODES in this video, and they’re not easy to find! Comment if you find them (after you use them, of course). In addition, there are two hidden tdfw logos -- the first person to find both and comment will get a free item from the store! Lastly, I’d like to give a big thank you to Dr. Z, GimR, Juggleguy, MattDotZeb, Nintendude, and The Crimson Blur for interviewing. If you’re interested in seeing the full interviews with any of these folks, they’re all available on www.patreon.com/turndownforwalt This documentary was a long time in the works, so I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it!
Would you consider making a video about fly amanita? I feel like he is kind of the forgotten ICs main compared to Chu and Wobbles. Esp in an age where wobbling is banned his story would be even more relevant
Dude, this made me cry. I was around for Melee following one of my friend’s stories of his admittedly underwhelming run at Apex 2015. I never truly got to experience this beautiful part of Melee’s history, but this video made it seem like I was there the whole time.
I can never sing the praises of Walt enough. Absolutely next level content. I couldn’t look away, so so so well done. Fuck man I'd consider this the highest quality smash-doc I've seen in a looong time, and I've seen a lot of smash documentaries lol
APEX2015 was the first time I found out about competitive fighting games as a whole. The highlight being my two friends at the time knowing everything and seething at the leffen match against chillin while I had no clue what they were talking about.
I can confidently say this was worth staying up until 3:20 am and sleeping four hours for school the next day. What an amazing video man. This event was legendary.
This was a fantastic watch. I didn't attend Apex 2015 but I knew several people who did. I recall a lot of people being very miffed that Nintendo did nothing while Twitch (and I thought Redbull also helped by paying for a few trucks?) saved the day. Nintendo just sorta showed up with their Splatoon demos and that was it. Then they eventually moved venues with the rest of the tournament. So many people flew in and taxied/ubered to the first venue so they didn't have *cars*. The number of times people with vehicles willing to lend a hand drove back and forth to move all the equipment, luggage, and people was truly insane. Thank you so much for this top tier quality content!
This was my favorite tourney of all time. It had everything. Great storylines, legendary salty suite, PPMD victory, the list goes on. Awesome vid Walt!
I remember watching this all live way back when. The Salty Suite was nutty, but I was up until like 3AM watching PP take grand finals then getting up for uni classes at 6AM again.
The first smash tournament I ever watched live. I only caught the salty suite and some of top 64, but I was hooked ever since. Watched VODs during class all the next day in school. Doing work in one window with melee in another. Got super involved after that, going to Nebulous, getting PM, finding a CRT in my school and playing melee every day, watching the documentary, getting netplay, meeting great people left and right. Shoutouts to Apex 2015.
Walt, I gotta say, the structure of this video is actually superb. I don't know how to describe it in a concise manner, but good lord what a fantastic documentary!
This event has always been one of the most memorable for me. I only watched it live from my college apartment at the time but I just remember this was when I first got into melee and I just learned how to L cancel etc lmao. So hyped watching PPMD come back and win, the chillen vs leffen set, bizzaro vs eikleman....just so many iconic moments and pics that came from this event...and it was all at the time when melee was most hype for me. Didn’t realize how much of a disaster this tournament was logistically lol
You have just as much love for the history of this game as the comunity has for the game as a whole and the fact that you can comunicate that to people like me, who wasn't there and who even lives in the other side of the world it's just amazing
I have now watched this twice start to finish. The video came on again randomly after something else. Before I knew it I was watching the end of the video for the second time. Great content my dude you did a great job!
This was the first tournament I ever watched. Super nostalgic to see stuff about it and man this tourney means something to me. Amazing video, as always
Honestly this is incredible. This was the first major even that I ever viewed live and is part of the reason that I even got into the game. The friends I met, the experiences I've had wouldn't have happened if not for this event being as incredible as it was. Seeing it summed up in this many and the sheer unlikeliness of it even happening puts a lot of things into perspective. Thank you for this it means a lot
God I remember watching this tournament live too, I was a senior in college at the time and it is definitely one of my favorite of all time. As much of an HBox fan I am I knew I wanted PP to win and defend his title Apex title. It was magical what was pulled off here, thanks for the memories
Another amazing job, dude. Apex 2015, in many ways, was the turning point for smash from underground fun to true mainstream. Thank you for your care and devotion to the community.
It’s not discussed as much but this was a big tournament for Armada, defeating his demons at the time with Leffen and Hbox who were taking some real heartbreakers off of Armada previously.
APEX 2015 is the only Top 8 that I've watched all the way through many, many times. The storylines are just palpable! Thank you for giving me a video that I can point people to when I tell them how fantastic this tournament was!
Your production execution just keeps improving; I love watching each of your documentaries and seeing the little changes that make each one better and more engaging. Keep it up!!
This video brought me straight back to when I first got into melee. Apex 2015 was my second melee tournament I ever watched live on Twitch, the first being Fight Pitt V. This video greatly captures the storylines of the tournament as well as the high placing players in it, as well as capturing the general mood of the community, at least as I understood it as a newcomer at the time. This was a great trip down memory lane and while this is the first video I've seen from this channel, I'm excited to see what else you have to offer!
Damn - these documentary type videos are always amazing from turndownforwalt but this one set a new ceiling! I'm really fortunate to be able to see stuff like this for free online. Thanks for making it!!!
This channel is so good. Who knew we needed a smash documentary channel so much? I am like 8 minutes in and I have never seen something more apt of Murphy’s law. Holy shit.
Great video Walt. Such an amazing story. Truly a diamond that was pulled from the fire. You made a great doc about it, more people need to hear about Apex 2015 fr.
This was actually the first major I watched. Watching the Salty Suite live from my college dorm room was a magical experience. It's even funnier that since I went to OSU, Apex was happening during the OSU championship finals and I decided to watch Apex instead because I wasn't a huge fan of college football. It was what inspired me to attend my first irl event and it's crazy to think about how much would be different, otherwise.
This is actually the first tournament I ever watched! I never knew about all of the complications that the melee community went through. It's insane the amount of dedication these guys have for the game.
I like this, this is like experiencing an event from within, getting the context, the personalities, the stories... better than a traditional doc for this experience. Thanks.
My favorite moment from this doc (and from Apex 2015) is the fact that Armada was drinking straight from a gallon carton of orange juice through top 8
I think it’s pretty good
@@turndownforwalt Android is my brother

At 25:52 DK is Monke on the character selection screen.
Monke
you have an eye for detail
What a catch
Jesus Christ, the chillin story never ceases to be funny. Toph's stream about it made me almost asphyxiate laughing
It's honestly so much better that he got 5-0'd it's so hilarious. I don't even like Leffen much but I just love how that played out xD

I always felt that Apex 2015 was the height of Smash as a whole, not just Melee. So many legendary moments...
The disclaimer is totally understandable. The best stories are told without censorship, keeping true to what really happened.
I drove 12 hours solo from OH to NJ for this. It is still the only smash tourney I have ever been to. Thanks for the memories.
