Hey peeps! I made an actual FULL 30-minute, voice-acted episode based off this Falcomaster opening! It's actually an interactive, animated game you can download for free here: gildedguyart.itch.io/fm3k

He isn't a player. He's an ideal we strive towards. He's insides all of us. He is, Falco Master 3000

Somewhere out there, there's an owner of a balaclava and sunglasses with the world's biggest grin on his face.

You made Falco's recovery look good.

Little do people know this video shows some of the highest level true combos in Melee: Fox: Triple Shine>Drill>SHDL Sheik: Dash Attack>Aerial Needle Throw> Fair Puff: Jab>Rest Samus: Roll>Up Air> Strong Missle>Charge charge shot>Shoot charge shot Falco: Firebird>Triple Illusion>Dair Marth: Nair>Up B Falcon: Knee Truly some TAS level shit.

That falcon knee got me so pumped. I'm energized now.

OH MY GOOOOD! That was awesome!!!

Some say falcomaster wasn't really a man, but the spirit and essence of falco himself. He lives in every melee player out there, he is but a dream, a figment we normal humans chase but can't ever achieve

I love this video so much

Damn, I love this! -Risuno

LOL THIS IS GREAT!

i have alot more respect for u knowing what competitive melee is

the Manga was better

Awesome work man. Always impressed with your style

lmao please give me a gif of captain falcon charging forward gloriously with the knee

0:44. "Shining brightly for all to see" Meanwhile, Fox is Shining as this line comes out 1:07 "Blazing wildly, burning out" and falco is doing just that is this the *visual pun*

I have so much appreciation for this. The animation is amazing and fits so well with the song. Not only is the concept extremely well executed, but everything from the characters combos to the people in between is incredible. I noticed some top melee players such as westballz and his hoodie along with axe with the pikachu hat. Fantastic work, and thank you for putting the idea of falcomaster3000 into an amazing opening.

I remember Gigguk saying he'd love to see an E-Sports Anime. Fuck Team E-sports, I want a Melee-style game as an E-Sports anime with a Falcomaster-ish plot. He's an old prodigy and because all he cares about is playing to his best and enjoying his time, he put on the mask and the shades. By that creating even MORE rumor about him, which kind of troubles him but he goes with it because love of smash>all €: Wow I got pinned! Thanks, Gilded. Love your animations!

I miss Falco mains Like we have 3 top level Falco mains left who play often, Mang0, Westballz and Zhu. you could count Axe but he doesn't really main him.. What I miss most is PPMD's Falco :(

it's been 4 months still waiting on episode 1

Great artwork and animation! I love the vibe this gives off. Also not to mention how well everything transitions from one scene to the next. Very nice!

I watched this at 0.25x speed so I could enjoy every frame of it.

I want people all across the country to just start showing up to tournaments dressed in exactly the same FalconMaster outfit and all sign up under FalconMaster. Like Phantom Renegade from Medabots or something.

1:15 captin falcon looks like hes singing lmao

0:00 We can see a GameCube Controller, the shades that Falcomaster3000 wore in the animation, a tournament bracket, Jigglypuff, Captain. Falcon, 4 shines, the Smash Bros. Logo, a lightsaber, and Falco with the words "Dair" written underneath. 0:01 The word "20XX" are revealed. This is a reference to knowyourmeme.com/memes/20xx. 0:11 We can see the Smash Logo (Which appears to be in the shape of a clock) with "FM3K" written over the top (This is short for Falcomaster3000) 0:12 The words "Time to shine" appear this is a reference to www.ssbwiki.com/Reflector_(Fox). 0:15 We can see Master Hand, a computer with framedata and hitboxes displayed, a GameCube, a GameCube Controller and the TV screen says "FM3000" (This is, yet again, a reference to Falcomaster3000). 0:16-0:17 We can see that the screen flickers to "Hax$" this is a reference to www.ssbwiki.com/Smasher:Hax. We can also see a poster detailing a tournament bracket and rock paper scissors. And, once again, the word "20XX" 0:32 We can see a GameCube, Falcomaster3000 himself, a flyer for a tournament (Foreshadowing) and a painting of a flower. 0:35 We can see that Fox is represented as a devil, while Falco is represented as an angel. 0:36-0:39 We can see that he pays for the tournament, and signs up via pen writing and not speaking. 0:40 Falcomaster3000 is put up against Dkuo, another Falco player wiki.teamliquid.net/smash/Dkuo. 0:45-0:46 Fox does 3 waveshines into a SHFFL dair into SHDL. 0:47-0:49 Sheik does a dash attack into neutral b into fair. 0:49-0:51 Jigglypuff does a double jab to down b. 0:51-0:56 Samus does a super wavedash into SHFFL up air into side b into neutral b. 0:58-1:03 Smashers appear. The ones I could identify were Armada, Leffen, Mango, Hungrybox, maybe WestBallZ but I'm not sure, Axe, possibly Mew2King, Reggie and D1. 1:04-1:07 Falcomaster3000 flies through the tournament bracket. 1:07-1:11 Falco does an up b to side b to down air. 1:11-1:13 Marth does first and second neutral hit of side b into up b. 1:13-1:17 Captain. Falcon runs up and does a fair. 1:18 The lights are in the shape of the Smash symbol. 1:22 We can see someone with a shirt that says "Dojo" I believe this to be a reference to Hyun's Dojo kzfaq.info. 1:37-2:03 The stars are shines. Did I miss anything?

Can we please get a mini series? Please?

Yyyeeeessssss copyright claim is gooonneeeee, love this animation so much. Keep doing what you do man.

It warms my heart to know this guy is a melee fan

Makes me wanna watch kill la kill again :)

"I wonder if this animation is gonna be a big hit. Like, 1-million views big. Like, viral-video big. It would be nice." It will. Despite the fact it'd take a long time, it will someday.

Sounds like a good intro for a melee anime

This has become one of my favorite videos of all KZfaq, great animation btw. Keep it up!!

This is absolutely amazing. It looks and sounds EXACTLY like an anime opening (given that it's in English and your unique art style of course) I love everything about this. You have earned a subscriber. Keep up the good work!

This is the most amazing video I have ever seen. Smash is such a vital part of the gaming/FGC and seeing this kind of art is amazing to complement such an amazing community. Keep up the good work, man. You deserve every single ounce of praise this video has received!

the face of Captain Falcon when he did the knee.

This is very anime. Honestly, one of the best animations I've seen. And awesome vocals as well. Hella' good job. (:

when ever he posts an animation it feels like a chirstmas present

I would watch everything 10 times if this would become a series

I'm so glad KZfaq recommended me this amazing video! Keep up the great work.

I just noticed that some of the stars are shines, absolutely stunning, keep up the excellent work Gildedguy!

lmao i wonder what the real falcomaster3000 is thinking after watching this.

This is so fking good I can't even believe it right now Edit: I've listened to this all day. It's so good because it's the opening theme for any melee player that tried really hard. Most of us did not succeed of course.

This video gets me so pumped up. Thank you for making it.

That was the most incredible animation I've ever, ever SEEN!!!! Great idea of choosing the song bro!!!

I love how at 1:05 , he's literally tearing through bracket.

Godammit, every time I watch this, even to this day this shit gives me goosebumps.

gilded guy always haz the best taste in music also its always a treat to see such amazing art 10/10 vid good job man :)

This is the best :D I love all of your animations. Especially the jade fight

I come back every week to listen to this and i love it wayy too much

This is AMAZING! you just got a new subscriber

How can one person be so talented? It genuinely baffles me how incredib,e this stuff is, first guided guy now this. As a smash fan I salute you. You have my infinite respect and you deserve more than every subscriber you have at the moment

I watch this thing every day and I LUUUUUV IT! Keep up the awesome work!

The transitions wow just wow. 0:21 0-0

YO!!! This was lit. I've been saying I've always wanted an anime about melee and this is pulled right out of my head! Great work dawg.

Nice work Gilded! This animation looks clean!

Damn this is cool. I like about the story how a man is climbing up to get to be the best Smash Bros player in the world. (If that was the point) Dude you are so good at animating too.

You know, there is a chance that one of the many anonymous commenters on this video could be Falcomaster 3000 himself.

Yo gilded im so proud of you for coming this far,your channell is really growing and it just puts me in so much joy to see it grow so much im very proud of you! Keep up the great work and dont you give up buddy ^-^

Man watching this, I'm just overflowing with nostalgia. Reminds me of the college days, meeting so many great people who are still friends today. Forming a college team and having squad battles with other teams in SoVA. Almost makes me wanna cry..... SoVA FGC will always have a place in my heart :')

When is this going on Crunchyroll?

0:27 Happy feet, wombo combo. That aint brawl, that aint bra- OH OH OHHHH OOOOOHH OH WHERE YOU AT OH MY GOD!! WOMBO COMBOOOO

I love how your animations have so much action!

This is a really well done animation! Awesome

All the Lights in the Sky are Shines

*Gildedguy is killing it again!*

this is amazing. love your drawing style.

This is INSANE ANIMATION SKILLS MAN. The drawings in this were incredible. you are truly talented Great job

Wow 40k subs congrats!!

You Sould Make An Seires Out Of This Cuz This Was Awsome

This is amazing. The song and MV inspired me to keep continuing my journey as a smasher.

why didnt i check your channel before. everytine i watch your videos it feels heartwarming and fun

1:15 when you finally graduate

IT'S FINALLY HERE! :D

Awesome video, you managed to get all of (competitive) Melee in there I was surprised.

Falco's recovery, Captain Falcon's knee..... Its perfection.

So is this anime about Falcomaster 3000 coming to the past to prevent the future of 20XX, where humanity fights a losing battle against TASFOX and its army of unstoppable machines. To do this he must defeat the man who inadvertently creates it at EVO 2017 and stop TASFOX's conception and save the future?

I wonder how falcon would react when he sees this video

That Killa La Kill Opening ;-; So Glorious

+Gildedguy this is great you earned a sub cuz I love melee. And this brings back the memorys!

looks great I was there for the last three streams i found it so much fun to find all the little things you added not on the streams see you on the next streams that you do Michael PS i dont know alot about melee im more into smash 4 but at 1:00 did i see Reggie at the end of that crowd?

DUDE PLEASE MAKE THIS, IF YOU MADE A KICKSTARTER YOU'D GET A LOT OF MONEY

I still come back every once in a while for this video its so good 😂

Man, you are extremely talented, I can only imagine how long it took to make this.

0:37 Shut up and take my money!

I don't know who will see this but thank you for making this video. You have truly inspired me to jump back into Smash and this time, I want to go competitive!

A gem for the millennium

Main character should've been mad-dawg

He’s finally going to bring the series to life with his next project! Can’t wait :)

Hey dude, glad I found this! Definitely subbed forever. :)

1:09 are you sure that isn't just normal westballz footage?

Your animation style is just so beautiful

This is actually quite well done. I applaud you, sir.

if you can you should make an outro version with KDJs cover of this song :3
