Super Smash Bros. Melee is a highly technical competitive fighting game honed by years of high-stakes competition and meta development, and yet, many players will continue to play it in ways that may seem absurd to some. Even as players' gameplay has optimized itself further over the years, people continue to play Melee "wrong". Sometimes, these players even win.
Here are some stories and examples of ways that players have and continue to bend the rules of "the jazz of fighting games".

Well, I found out, and doing so was a very time consuming and arduous process. This is the story of how Sonic the Fighters beat Sonic the Fighters. Buckle up!

While existing in the game's code for over twenty years, this marks the character's first chance to interact with the game's competitive metagame, and well, he's probably not great. Still, I think this character has some potential, and in this video, I outline why he can still hang despite some glaring shortcomings.

Melee's metagame has hardly shifted. He's slow, big and lacks much of a combo game. These factors, alongside poor results over the years, have resulted in him being seen as the game's worst legal characters for nearly the entirety of the game's competitive lifespan.
But what if it weren't so simple? What if Bowser, through some mix of skill, luck and hidden potential, could do it? This is the story of Heavenly Bruised Pelvis.

Seeking to test this mod out, I ran a tournament where every character in the mod was legal. This is what happened!

Sonic the Fighters is seeing its biggest year ever as a competitive game in 2024. With that in mind, I decided to put together a primer of sorts on some of the game's more unique mechanics as a way to help out new players trying out the game in advance of the game's debut as an AIT game at Combo Breaker 2024!

In this video, we will explore the oft-misunderstood game mode Giant Melee, the game mode where characters are more big and meet the players who have helped push the mode to new heights in recent years.

In 2024, an explosion of StF play brought a new generation of players into the fore, and one of them would choose to do something nobody in the game had ever bothered to do before: compete exclusively as Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotonic, a character that you can only play if your opponent agrees to it.
This is the story of EIZL, STF's only Eggman main.

In 1996, Sega's legendary AM2 studio released what may be the most disliked game in their catalog: Sonic the Fighters. Often derided by both Sonic and fighting game fans, this game has built its own community on the outskirts of the FGC. This is that community's story.
This video started as a freelance article pitch years ago, but I finally was able to get it together this year thanks to the support I was able to find with my Melee videos. I hope those who have come to my channel for Melee will be open to learning about another game where funny cartoon characters punch each other.

Melee is known for its deep bench of incredible players, making it perhaps the Midwest's premiere Midwest region, but its culture goes beyond simply high level play. One of West Michigan's most storied traditions is Dorfball, a game featuring two Captain Falcons and a Level 1 Ganondorf CPU that has captured the hearts of dozens, and a mode that saw new life in 2023, culminating with its appearance at The Big House 11 as an official unofficial side bracket.
I spoke to members of the Michigan Dorfball community about the game and its history, and uncovered more of that history in the process. SSBM may never be the same.
This video was shot in part in-person at The Big House 11, and I did so with a pretty jank recording setup, so I tried my best to save the audio but it is not perfect.
Originally premiered during Galint Fall Open 2023.

In the mid-2010s, Donkey Kong was seen as a mediocre character in the competitive landscape of Super Smash Bros. Melee. Now, multiple Kongs are threatening the game's highest level players. Will 2023 be the year of the ape, or is Donkey Kong just a load of hogwash?
I reached out to some of the world's finest Melee DK's to learn just why, of all times, the DK era is happening right now in 2023. This is what I learned. **
This video was a 2+ month project initially meant to be a lighter reprieve from my previous video. Then, the Donkey Kong players started going on deep tournament runs, and soon I found myself awash in the surprisingly deep world of Melee Donkey Kong.

Some say that the smash community has gone soft. Back in the good old days, they will tell you, every win was for bragging rights first and everything else second. Today, we're too gentle, too kind, to ever return to those days. Over the course of two days in twilight of Smash's lock down era, two players proved that belief was wrong.
In July of 2021, two top 100 Smashers would come together in what may be the game's grimiest grudge match, at least of its modern era. This is the story of magi and mvlvchi, the rollback rumble salty suite.
This set was something i saw personally live and had always said i would make a video covering if i had a platform. I have one now, so I reached out to the two players from this set, production, and falco-peach experts to go over this bitter rivalry.
this video features footage by @SSBMagi , Mvlvchi, LoganSSBM, beyond the summit, rollback rumble, @Ludwig, armada and certainly countless more.

I put together a pretty big video game jazz playlist over the past few months, so I thought I would put some of it together into a themed playlist. I may make more with other themes in the future. It seems like some people share my tastes in game music, so I figured why not put that to work in a little playlist?
I tried to put together a mix of some familiar tracks and some more off the beaten path. I have a soft spot of blues-derived laid back jazz tracks, and it feels like a lot of video game composers whose work I grew up on felt the same way.
Let me know if you enjoy this playlist and want to hear more like it. I have a few more that I have thought of.

Since 2001, Super Smash Brothers Melee has harbored a beast in the depths of its code. A creature that, were he to be legal, could change the game's competitive metagame forever. For a time during the COVID-19 quarantine, he nearly did.
When in 2020, Giga Bowser was accidently unleashed onto Melee's netplay servers, a handful of players would push the character to previously unseen heights. This is their story. This is Giga Bowser's story.
This video amounted to about two months of on-and-off work from research to interviews to writing and editing. I hope that you come away with a better understanding and appreciation of Melee's greatest monster and the nuances of The Big Turtle Guy.
Should Giga Bowser be legal in SSBM? Sound off in the comments!
If you know more about the competitive history of Giga Bowser that you feel is not adequately covered in this video, feel free to DM me on twitter @wusstunes or email me at matt.callosum@gmail.com. I tried my best to be thorough, but I imagine there is some pre-2020 G. Bowser history that I missed out on.
** Thank you for all your support with this! This video took a lot of work from me and a lot of reaching out to players who were kind enough to share their stories (and in some cases, gameplay footage) with me. With that in mind, please be respectful towards them! I'm not trying to spur up any sort of harassment here.
In addition, this video is currently unmonetized due to me being not good at setting up my google adsense! If you liked it, consider buying me a coffee. I will drink it happily. ko-fi.com/wusstunes

This could absolutely upend the metagame permanently.
This video represents two months of hard work researching the history of Melee's 27th character, Giga Bowser, and how he briefly rose to prominence during one of Melee's weirdest eras. Is he good? Is he bad? Is he fun? Is he lame? People cannot agree.
This video was made with the help of numerous individuals, including DarkGenex, Joseph Maorin, SkeletonSSBM and many more. I even exchanged a few DMs with Mew2King!
Follow my twitter @wusstunes for more updates, and please tune in tomorrow for the whole thing.

My twitter: @wusstunes more music at mattkoester.bandcamp.com and here!the Story of Chicagoland Donkey Kongwusstunes2022-08-18 | Fans of Midwest Melee have long been confounded by the Chicago region's love of Donkey Kong, a lower-mid tier with low representation in most tournaments. Two DK secondaries were featured in the region's power rankings in 2019, and another continues to make a mark on the big stage.
Seeking answers, I reached out to some of CLM's most visible DK's. What I found shocked and stunned me.

While many focus on novelty CRTs and high-end monitors, I found a happy middle ground in the Haier HTR13, a budget-oriented set manufactured back in 2008.
The HTR13 is NOT a perfect TV. It's screen is pretty round even for a CRT, and its sound output is weak. It also does not support S Video, or RGB. Still, it has a few features that make it pretty unusual alongside the general stock of used TVs out there.
I try to make videos several times a month about everything from gaming to cartoons to music. I'm still getting my footing on Youtube, and would very much appreciate any support from my gracious viewers.
