In today's video I am talking about Isai's historic run at Super Smash Con 2023, one of the most stacked 64 tournaments to date. What makes this win more impressive is that Isai started his competitive 64 career in 2003 at least so this makes this a win about 20 years into his competitive career which is an extremely rare feat esports. I interviewed Wizzrobe on this topic since he is a top 64 player and is more knowledgeable on the game.

I believe Isai doesn't go serious on every tournament he goes because he wants to keep that enjoyment and magic of playing something u love. Not turn it into a job or "I have to win" every time. He just a nice guy who wants to keep playing his favorite game with the same joy.

That is probably a factor in his longevity. He isn't stressed about trying to be #1. His whole motivation is that the game is fun for him, so he's always winning. He does seem to enjoy winning based on his player cam reactions over the years, but he doesn't really appear to be bothered by losing or his legacy being tarnished somehow. He also hasn't been vocal about his rankings that I've ever seen. He just doesn't seem to care about the trophies or accolades. He just wants to enjoy his favorite game.

Thank you for making this content. Isai is a special player too me. I think nowadays players in Melee love to be big personalities because they stream and it's their income. But Isai is different from them. Although he doesn't play Melee anymore, I think he's still an interesting contrast. He's very unassuming and quiet. He just seemingly comes out of nowhere and wrecks house. I also enjoyed hearing a modern take on Isai from Wizzrobe as for many years it became a meme that "only if he tried", but even Wizzrobe acknowledges that Isai is a bit of an enigma but can turn it on if he wants. It was also a joy hearing him note that Isai is proving a player can be successful even into a more advanced age. I'm just as old as Isai so it feels good to get acknowledgement that older players can still be a force.

i found it crazy that isai's break the targets/board the platform times still hold up at the top to this day from the early 2000's and now he's winning majors at his late 30's, isai is the real champ, using the then underulitized falcon at melee, has went through mutiple generation's of smash and still does pretty well today and i like how he doesnt go serious from evry tourney he's in, he just wants to enjoy his game and that's how i like about this guy, doesnt seemed too stress about it and he's humble too despite being a beast at his game xD

Something Wizzrobe didn't really clarify is that for the vast majority of 64 majors, Isai would character lock himself into his secondaries to make it challenging. If he had played Pikachu, he would have won virtually all of those tournaments. So i think it's hard to argue against Isai as GOAT.

I saw this one documentary when I was a kid. I think it was called insect wars. They had cameras inside this ant hill and in the ant colony there was these ants fighting to be queen. They would go around grabbing other ants and spraying them with their pheromones to make them docile and obedient. The ant that won was the one that was the most active, the most aggressive, it appeared the most lucid and like it had the most agency- this is what Isai’s pika reminds me of. He just makes the character look so ornery and alive

When they really want to be the best they can most of the time. Mang0 could've easily been number 1 this year if he didn't have such a bad mindset about getting screwed on the ranks. Isai just doesn't care about winning. Marss just had a slump straight up I think. I don't follow ultimate that hard, but I feel MKLeo is more comparable to the 2. MKLeo truly doesn't care that much anymore, but can win tournaments when his heart is in it. 100% in it
