Topic: The history behind Super Smash Bros. Melee

[NWR_pap64]

This is a cool collection of You Tube videos detailing some of Melee's smallest details, like stage details, character moves, history and such.

They are fascinating to watch, especially when he touches upon some of the more obscure details.

You can watch the videos here..

Some warnings, though...

- The guy can be VERY redundant, as in he state the obvious many a time (Mario's yellow cape came from Mario world? NO WAI!!!!!)

- He sometimes makes some Comic Book Guy like comments (OMG this piece of the stage is not exactly like in the original game!)

- His videos are VERY long, and at times its like watching an old guy give a History lesson (in one of the Earthbound videos he actually drags the characters all across Fourside just so we can get an idea of how big it is! >.< ).

People need to get past tired old games and move on.

I don't know what's sadder: the amount of detail that guy put in, or how much of that I already knew.  

[Adrock]

The former... because at least you didn't make a bunch of youtube videos about the stuff you knew.

Wow, I can't believe somebody wasted their life doing that. He must not be very important.

Since it's a slam on Melee, I'm obligated to agree.

[Mikintosh]

well, i don't think he'd be doing them if he didn't sense some kind of interest. i think they're pretty neat, anyway.

Wow, that's insane. Pretty interesting if you want to kill some time though.

Yeah, exactly. People saying he's wasting his time are missing the point that if it brings some sort of interest or entertainment to the fore (and he doesn't mind putting the work into it), then I don't see how one can judge. Libraries are filled with books on very specific subjects written by amateurs, but you wouldn't say they're wasting their time. I mean, you could, but that wouldn't be fair.
