NakeyJakey The same should be said to you, Jakey. Can't believe I just randomly saw you comment here. Your channel is one of my favorites, please keep doing what you're doing man
Something about the music and the slow shot of a captivated audience makes the scene have real weight. You see Ken sitting there, observing like the wise old teacher in an epic saga, still dedicated to the community that crowned him the first King if Smash. And you realize that the history of smash is so rich, so full of life, so much so that it brings a chill down the spine. I wonder if any fighting game in the future will replicate the atmosphere that the smash scene brought about.
Sometimes I feel like Mango is just a passenger in his legacy, watching himself do things. It's funny how he talks about himself in the 3rd person a lot.
+toba122 I'm not saying that you're wrong. I'm just saying that MasterTallness wasn't even talking about that lol. Also I don't know any amazing people :I
I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what to say to you. After failing to properly express, I guess I'm just settling with explaining that you caught me off guard with that last reply. False as it may be, I hope you continue to have a positive influence elsewhere.
The part at 21:47 when the music stops riiiiight as mango inhales is the siiiickest thing ever. love those details, always makes these so worth rewatching to notice more and more
Its funny im a doc kid, got into smash in like late 2014, don't know all the old school history of smash, just getting into playing.... but even still I feel blessed to have watched genesis 3 live on twitch. it feels like another huge milestone in smash history that will go down in legend forever.
Nate watson I watched Genesis 3 grand finals about a month or so after it happened. That set got me into competitive melee. It's still my favorite of all time.
It's funny how with Hbox injured, mango and armada are the clear favorites for genesis 4 grand finals, provided m2k, leffen, or plup doesn't pull off a fantastic run.
Well they play winners semis so the chances aren't looking great. It requires one of them to do a losers run. I'll take Mango V Plup winners final though.
+Coy4173 Nah, I don't think that'll change anything. My prediction is that mango beats armada in semis and then armada beats Plup/M2K/leffen/injured hbox/whoever might be in his path to gf. The only way I can see it not happening from there is if Plup/M2K/leffen upsets mango in WF (which is possible but unlikely) or if leffen/M2K beats armada in losers (even less likely). Either way, I'd say there's definitely a better chance than there looked to be last year, where Mango seemed to be in decline from 2015. Also, if Plup won Genesis I wouldn't even care that we lose part of the legacy because that would be so awesome. Plup is my favorite player and he has a great bracket to do well at G4.
SSB_Seal both M2K and Leffen are in pretty good form, though, and Hbox is still Hbox. Could still see one of those 3 sneaking to a final, maybe over Mango.
just some scrub from the san antonio area. I bopped the shit out of him and I guess since then he went full time camera man. Not bad if his goals are in photography.
Just after the Hungrybox vs PPMD episode I was like, damn I'd love to see more from you guys. And then you guys delivered this hell of an episode. The quality is beyond amazing, and we can watch it for free. Thanks a lot.
Don't know why I'm only just now finding this channel but either way I'm glad I did. I enjoy the content you guys have, it's very high quality. You can tell you guys put a lot of effort and work into things and I appreciate that. Would love to see more from you guys for sure.
If all of these were edited together and put out as one film, it could easily blow up. Call it season 1 or something. It always bugged me in the Smash Doc how they never mentioned the Wombo Combo, and I think these videos are where people will truly fall in love with Melee. Anyway, as always, this is so cool. Keep it up fellas. Edit: just realized this is called "season 1" already. My b.
I keep coming back to rewatch this video atleast once every 2 months. What an amazing documentary you made here. The way the narrative flows and the editing, its an incredibly powerful piece. Thank you.
Compliments to the editors! What makes these videos even more amazing is the quality, the artistic taste, and attention to detail. It makes Melee still hyped, even after 15 years! I'm looking forwarding to seeing videos of like 50+ years olds in tournaments lol.
No real need to sub when each new vid takes a good while to come out, and then it's automagically in your feed cause you're subbed to other smash channels. Shame, cause they deserve the subs doe. They get mine now at least
This channel, and this video specifically, deserve SO much more recognition. Documentaries like these are what will make me appreciate smash years after I stop playing. Bravo
Man, the last 20 minutes of the video really hammer home how important it is that GF is Mang0/Armada. Is Leffen coming? cause he'd love to kill the dream.
This is so well done... on every level. The music, the storyline, the highs, the lows... Even if this were just a documentary, it'd be hype. But the fact that it's also a precursor to G4 only makes it that much better for the Mang0 v. Armada storyline. Rock on, LSL
jaime lopez he is the best training partner. If you watch any of Mang0s streams Alex gets completely bodied over and over but he keeps playing and doesn't get salty
The ice in the veins required to do that rest....I admire it every single time I see that clip. True moment in gaming history, and it gave melee one of its first deep storylines. And now look at the game today. INSANE.
Mango is definitely the player I like to root for but it's tough to think of a player with a better story and more likable and humble personality than Armada. Just the whole Sweden vs. USA thing is such a great storyline.
Incredible work guys. I got into the game competitively around G1 and my first major was G2, the journey of these two players has been consistently fascinating to behold. Can't wait to see these guys in grand finals next weekend.
I played melee about a year ago over a friends house, he wrecked me i had no idea what i was doing. He on the other hand was really good. I played on N64 when i was younger but i never realized how competitive this game was. After playing it at my friends i am addicted, i watched videos from the early 2000s all the way till now, i know everything about melee. Just now i bought melee and a gamecube, this is going to take a lot of practice.
Would've liked to hear Armada's thoughts on his run/victory at G3... but other than that amazing documentary piece as usual, looking forward to the next one
these documentaries are going to be the way melee lives on into forever. melee is cemented as one of the greatest things to come out of the 21st century. people who don’t know melee would think that statement is a joke, but melee fans know how much this game means to all of us
Hey just curious when you guys are gunna make another one stock legends. I miss your videos guys. :( i love melee. I love melee history. Hope yoy guys are doing good

not every hero plays melee...sometimes they just support!
TheSwissChannel i know in the traditional and respectful way the swedish are raised that he payed them back on arrival
TheSwissChannel Holy crap, you're right.....that's awesome.
It was a good investment, Armada takes care of his family
love this channel/series so much, thank you for your hard work. beautifully edited as usual
NakeyJakey more combo vids
NakeyJakey I LOVE JAKEY
please release more combo and halo vidz
love you
NakeyJakey The same should be said to you, Jakey. Can't believe I just randomly saw you comment here. Your channel is one of my favorites, please keep doing what you're doing man
I SPY A HOT BOY
H O T B O I
35:49 Axe casting some wizardry on Mang0 so he couldn't win G3
this killed me
xDDD
People tend to forget Axe is a master of the dark arts.
Metroyeti17 It's true, everyone says Puff is evil, but the actually evil Pokemon is Pikachu
LMFAO!xfd
"I became the best in Europe in the mean time."
I just love how casual and nonchalant he is about it
LOL I thought the exact samething...its like "yeah became Europes champion to kill time b4 going to America".... =p
Jayson K eu isn't at the same level as usa sadly
Your guys' videos are always the shit. These professional, documentary-type videos are such a breath of fresh air among more typical Melee content.
AsumSaus ahem lmao
AsumSaus ayy
look at you now AsumSaus
And they passed the torch down < 3
Your vids got me into melee
My goat
"I believe him ... but I still don't believe him." - Classic Mang0

Mike Haze double elims Mango for the first time
Prince Abu vs Armada Grand Finals
mangos on a war path right now
called it
Shoutout to the two jabronies playing brawl amidst the making of melee history 18:28
Andrew Wager we need their names
The players names were Serge and Darkfall
when you got owned so hard in the tournament you quit melee.
to be fair they paused
or you could just play something else cause its like fun or something
I don't know why people expect it to end up being Mang0 and Armada when it's CLEARLY going to end up being Bizzarro Flame vs Eikelmann
EZ MONEY!
what a crazy shot at 25:37
props to whoever got that
So many great shots. I'm really glad melee is in the place it's in right now. Here's to growth!
Was that Ken in the audience?
yeah it was
Something about the music and the slow shot of a captivated audience makes the scene have real weight.

31:52 is powerful man. I know it's from Mango's in game tag, but seeing "USA Falls" on the Peach stats is nuts.
EvilApple567 Holy smokes
Wow, good perspective.
yo mad respect for leffen deciding to sneak in america but just to film the goat rivalry 41:34
"Mango's like...Mango's playing like Mango" -Mango
Thanks for the support on the music! ♥
Sometimes I feel like Mango is just a passenger in his legacy, watching himself do things. It's funny how he talks about himself in the 3rd person a lot.

I don't really think you two are talking about the same thing lol

Damn. My mans just complemented you and you rejected it.
mango will never miss an opportunity to bring up armada daisy dukes lmao
I would like seeing M2k vs mang0 GF for the first time since medieval times
They played GFs at Paragon Los Angeles
Alxinho959 medieval times
lmao facts
Hahahaha! same that would be awesome
Genesis 3 was so huge that there are like 10 different documentaries about it. Literally the hypest thing to ever happen in Melee
That shot at 40:34 of Armada facing the crowd and Mango facing the camera is so good
I got the popcorn and soda ready.
46 minutes.
It's going to be *LIT*
The part at 21:47 when the music stops riiiiight as mango inhales is the siiiickest thing ever. love those details, always makes these so worth rewatching to notice more and more
"That gave me a bit more power, that people were afraid."
Fucken Armada
Did Armada really relate himself to rocky balboa! Aww Sheet Mango is gonna be pissed lmao.
Switch me daddy
Switch Golden Glove Marquez.

Of course, you can't count anyone out. I only said what I think is most likely.
"Once people get afraid in smash, that's the time to strike." Jesus Armada... scary
meme
there's a good reason he's a top player
Take a shot every time Mang0 says "like".
and you will become just like him, a drunken piece of garbage
***** Oh damn lol
damn, mango must be really hurting now
Take a shot every time Mang0 backhands the palm of his other hand.
41:39 Is that Leffen with the camera LOL
He made it into the US after all
Oh yeah LOL I forgot
just some scrub from the san antonio area. I bopped the shit out of him and I guess since then he went full time camera man. Not bad if his goals are in photography.
i thought that too...he was like "one day i'm gonna be sitting there too.....in front of the camera!"
"hey grandma can I borrow 1000 dollars"
Martha H who hasn't borrowed $1K from their grandparents to pursuit been the best at a videogame?
"How hype do you have to be to pick up a chair"
never seen that angle of mango shaking hbox's hand. they actually look like homies for a sec i love it man
25:38 The King of Smash, watching gods play. Sup Ken
Just after the Hungrybox vs PPMD episode I was like, damn I'd love to see more from you guys. And then you guys delivered this hell of an episode. The quality is beyond amazing, and we can watch it for free. Thanks a lot.
The shot of Armada, Mang0 and HBox all just chatting in a circle after Genesis 3 ended is so cool. The 3 GOATs of the game.
I am almost crying. Shit's got me in tears. Sickest thing I have ever seen
This was very well done probably the best one from last stock legends yet
Don't know why I'm only just now finding this channel but either way I'm glad I did. I enjoy the content you guys have, it's very high quality. You can tell you guys put a lot of effort and work into things and I appreciate that. Would love to see more from you guys for sure.
What a community. Give yourselves a round of applause.
how did armada spin the city of phily against mango with that rocky analogy
So, Armada got a small loan of $1000 and became a god? LMAO
sometimes thats all it takes
GayDessert hahaha good one dude
GayDessert I thought a small loan was a million or higher? My b

How does this channel only have 16k subs? Amazing editing and film work!
No real need to sub when each new vid takes a good while to come out, and then it's automagically in your feed cause you're subbed to other smash channels.
Shame, cause they deserve the subs doe. They get mine now at least
the two guys playing brawl while mango armada gf is happening lmao.
This whole continuous shot is amazing, and is my favorite part of the video: 37:20. Really awesome episode, thanks LSL team for this.
I actually can't even listen to Armada anymore without thinking of A19 and just dying laughing.
Armada got that small loan of $1000 dollars
37:50 so much magic in this one little clip. Melee is forever
This channel, and this video specifically, deserve SO much more recognition. Documentaries like these are what will make me appreciate smash years after I stop playing. Bravo
Man, the last 20 minutes of the video really hammer home how important it is that GF is Mang0/Armada.
Is Leffen coming? cause he'd love to kill the dream.
Kris Doyle
he came close but even then mango wanted it bad
This is so well done... on every level. The music, the storyline, the highs, the lows... Even if this were just a documentary, it'd be hype. But the fact that it's also a precursor to G4 only makes it that much better for the Mang0 v. Armada storyline. Rock on, LSL
Alex19 is the best homie anyone could ever ask for
jaime lopez he is the best training partner. If you watch any of Mang0s streams Alex gets completely bodied over and over but he keeps playing and doesn't get salty
"Once people get afraid in Smash, that's the time to strike" - Armada 2017 yooooo
Major, major props to the camera people for all the incredible shots they get at these big tournaments. It really shows here.
46:14 lmao s2j; even when he's hype he still has a straight face
The ice in the veins required to do that rest....I admire it every single time I see that clip. True moment in gaming history, and it gave melee one of its first deep storylines. And now look at the game today. INSANE.
Take a shot every time Mango says "to this day..."
Mango is definitely the player I like to root for but it's tough to think of a player with a better story and more likable and humble personality than Armada. Just the whole Sweden vs. USA thing is such a great storyline.
nerd chills all over like 4 times. Great work guys
Incredible work guys. I got into the game competitively around G1 and my first major was G2, the journey of these two players has been consistently fascinating to behold. Can't wait to see these guys in grand finals next weekend.
if mango goes to grand finals this year can his intro song be ocean man

the picture behind Armada looks like a silver sun pickups album cover
A 40 minute LSL?! Let's fuckin go boys.
Something about seeing the giant man alex19 rush mang0 after that G3 win is so hilarious
Would've liked to hear Armada's thoughts on his run/victory at G3... but other than that amazing documentary piece as usual, looking forward to the next one
feels like i'm watching an episode from a hbo boxing 24/7 series, these kinds of videos do a lot for the scene, fantastic work
The fucking soundtrack was picked perfectly... seriously this was some great editing
What a great piece, thanks for another amazing contribution to an amazing community!
So glad to see a video dedicated to the best sets of Serge and Darkfall
had to check my tabs when saib. - smooth started playing lol, amazing tune
Truly one of the best videos i've watched in a long time. Teared up a little. LSL, keep this up, you're doing such an amazing thing for the community.
Holy shit, 46 minutes long?
Good work LSL!
Very nice documentary, guys. It's very clear that a lot of work was put into this, good job!
these documentaries are going to be the way melee lives on into forever. melee is cemented as one of the greatest things to come out of the 21st century. people who don’t know melee would think that statement is a joke, but melee fans know how much this game means to all of us
Are we just gonna ignore Armada's immediate "I thiiiiink" @ 0:10???
LSL always creating top quality content. I love the melee storyline this community is great.
"Armada hasn't been playing too good today, he dropped a game against s2j"
When Johnny takes 2 consecutive games from Armada in G4
S2J wins armada at G5 confirmed?
Why did I feel like [A]rmada was gonna start his monologue about how I'd have 10 minutes to save the U.S. from nuclear destruction of his own design?
Best Melee content on the internet.
AH SHIET! Genesis 4 HYPE!
Best grand finals xD
Axe at 35:48 thinking about moves that combo. Fucking bright guy.
Lsl is essential watching for any melee players, or even smash players in general
11:59 "armada beat my puuuhhhh.." lol
Really great video guys. You deserve more subs. With content this good they'll come with time.
A good showing of the eSports Life. Love it
39:38 Did my guy just get RKO'ed??! LOL
I don't even play smash often, but I love watching the videos of awesome competition
The legendary rematch at G4 lasted 8 mins.
I've never noticed how beautiful Armada's eyes were
*Mango vs Armada in the title* dis gon be gud
31:55 "He deserved the fuck outta that" lol
Hey just curious when you guys are gunna make another one stock legends. I miss your videos guys. :( i love melee. I love melee history. Hope yoy guys are doing good
These docs are so well done.
Still disappointed Armada didn't hold up the GameCube by the handle
16:24 cus i wasn't playing like Hung.... i was actually going head to head.
I don't think this'll be mango armada sadly, I have this feeling in my stomach
Keep them coming man, these are awesome
