Really well done, and thanks for taking the time to interview and highlight something that means a lot to me. Best of luck, and let me know if I can help at all

met cody in a long ass line at walmart in virginia last year. didn’t even realize it was him until like halfway into our conversation. super nice dude.

Zains always been Cody’s main rival. You don’t play 12,000 sets against someone live if you’re not dedicated to beating them.

the drums

the montage of zain catching up back to cody to 6-6 editing was so fucking good. i love those drums. great video, great editing, keep it up 😄

Boolmaster’s Melee videos are masterpieces, I’m sooo excited to see this one

Finally someone acknwloedgeds zains dominance over cody, its why im so happy to see cody able to overtake him because for a good while it seemed impossible

I've been watching competitive smash since mid 2015, and I've never seen a better rivalry. It was insane to see these 2 go from "oh I think I heard of them a couple of times" to absolutely running the game. Seeing them leave an undeniable mark on the 2 most played characters of a game with such history

Recording sets is the best thing melee community has ever done for itself

Bro that use of the jazzy 3rd palace theme from P5 during the Zain v Cody first to ten was crazy. You cooked with that.

incredible video one of my favorite rivalries ever in melee

And to think we didn’t get to see this matchup at Genesis X! Awesome video also congrats to Cody for starting off strong this year with a great victory, and to Zain for starting off decently as well with a a respectable 3rd place.

i love your melee docs man :D you have a knack for story telling and i always love your music choice!! ^^

Zains drum solo was so sick! Great job on this vid. That hot dog eating contest line and the chuckle after it is one of the funniest things ive heard on melee youtube in a while lmaoo

the drum solo sequence in the first to 10 was great

top 1 boolmaster melee video, honestly top 3 melee videos of all time.

Absolute cinema. Every video is a banger great job bool. The whiplash esquié drum solo finale was awesome. Keep it up!

You’ve done it again, Bool! Great video!

He’s back awesome video ❤ Love both Zain and Cody favorite rivalry.

This idea is the exact reason I love the Hungrybox story. And so often he would win from losers bracket; where any loss could mean the end of his run. I love nothing more than watching someone fight through losers brackets and Hungrybox was someone who was known for it for some time.

Thank you for making a doc on this cool era/part of modern melee, it's truly crazy just how close these 2 are and how much they push each other, u captured that rly well!! :^D

Boolmaster Back at it again with a perfect video as per usual!

The video and the music used are insane

crazy good editing love to see it and can't wait to see what you come out with next

Another insane development I never heard or cared for until I watched this amazing documentary. Melee community always has such insane video quality

Already know this is gonna be a BANGER of a video

the editing during the ludwig tournament is pure masterclass 🧑‍🍳

Amazing doc, this rivalry is insane. Can't wait for Mang0 to hopefully enter the mix this year.

Awesome doc, love how it was edited with the little montages synced with the music and how it doesn't feel like cody propaganda, they both are amazing players that helped eachother get to the top

People always say that melee is like jazz, but I have never seen that sentiment more well represent untill today Those edits are fire dude

Boolgod back at it again with peak, WE TAKE THOSE BOOL LFGGGGG

i started watching this and i was like "this editing sees familair..." and i look at my suggested and the first video i see was your summit 11 video, your work is incredible keep it up

BOOLIN

Bool master is the best KZfaqr known to man

god the music choices for this video were excellent

Phenomenal video!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great video! I love the editing!

Finally watched majority of ur vids. Love ur smash content primarily but props to u for diversification! Awesome channel man, keep it up!!

Great video, the interview added some info that made it feel worthwhile even if you've watched the sets before, and I loved the editing (during the FT10 especially!)

awesome video :D loved the music choices and how you let the gameplay speak for itself most of the time

Quality content - that FT10 edit was so sick

excellent documentary. Thank you!

This video was straight boolin'. It's your best yet! Great stuff

Damn dude, excellent vid/editing!

Thsi is the new great rivalry of this game. What a time to be a melee fan.

It crazy cause a few years ago it felt like no fox was ever gonna touch zain. But now Cody's doing it no patches needed

29:41 WHERES MANGO’S PUFF.. THIS IS ERASURE

Fantastic video and editing

The editing in this is absolute fire

This video was awesome

Amazing video!!

Love your music choices, great video as always.

Bool your storytelling of melee is and remains magical, I'd been waiting for this and I'm so happy it's here now ! I'll always be a Zain supporter because his marth gives me wonder like no other player but man Cody is good Hope we also get to see more Jmook this year, love the trio dynamic

I have to admit, even though i always want Hbox to win and i'm really happy whenever Amsa is playing (and winning), i can't hate either Zain nor Cody, both players play OUT OF THEIR MINDS. Not disrespect to Armada, but 2018 Melee seems aeons ago compared to 2024 Melee, there are no more bad players, everyone you play in pools is a possible hidden boss.

Amazing video really inspires me to compete in locals

Amazing video, keep up the great work ♥

If cody and zain was the grand finals for every tournament i wouldn't complain, their sets are electric

amazing video ❤

imo in the beginning you could've colored the Fox green instead of blue because Cody uses green Fox and Zain uses red Marth

Back to melee videos. Yeah buddy!

Shocking stat about a game that’s been out over 20 years has only had seven people in number one at the end of the year

So Cody was 11-0 going into their 12th set, which was at Summit 12, and he won for the first time. Melee is full of poetry.

the music man

THE GOAT RETURNS!!!!

Also if we are counting summer rankings, Cody is the 8th to be 1st, as PPMD was rank 1 during the summer of 2014

cody my goat. as someone whos watched more cody gameplay than any human prob should have, especially in the era where zain was wiping the floor with him, its been fantastic to see him on top of everything this last year

17:45 little known fun fact but SFAT beat Zain on FD Zain lost on FD before Summit 11, but he had a 3 year streak of not losing there. And losing twice is what made Mango’s run insane. So yeah Cody PICKING FD and then winning.. as surreal as boolmaster puts it

This was a masterpiece of a video

Omg a Big Brother reference?? Huge W by the best Smash KZfaqr!

yo im digging the jazz music my guy

It's really cool how you'll never truly know who'll be at the top one day. Those people in the venue watching Cody and Zain face off for the first time probably had no idea they'd be the gods of today. Just like it's always been. An up and coming Mang0 upsets Ken, and up and coming M2K upsets Ken prior and basically wrote the book of Melee, and an up and coming Ken trash talks online in 2003 but backs it up becoming the first king of Smash. All held within venues or garages, game stores or school auditoriums...we just never knew we were looking at history in the making. A beautiful legacy this game and the other Smash games hold.

Craziest thing was me realizing PPMD was the only one of the 5 Gods to never hold 1st place.

Would’ve been nice to hear Zain’s perspective and have him being interviewed as well

excellent video

Love this video. I'm definitely on the Zain train. He is still my #1 in my heart but Cody definitely is the big guy to beat right now.

Amazing video!

Legendary thumbnail

sick vid

Perfect vid at a perfect time

This video has been drummer approved

such a great video, you are really talented

Great stuff man

Genesis X was the highest level this game has ever been played. Falchion vs Metal Legs honed like iron sharpening iron. Cody and Zain commanded dominance over an entire community, nothing standing in their way. Well, almost nothing. ♥️🦖

I've had the pleasure to watch several of these two's best sets in person (Genesis 8 & Shine 2023). It is clear that they have defined the last few years of competitive Melee, and will continue to define it for the foreseeable future. This video did a good job of telling their story so far, now we can only wait and see what comes next!

W video and W hivemind clip at the end

Here from Hbox's stream.

yo rly good video

Note @ 20:25, for real, Hbox is a GOAT,

So amazing man great job

immediate top 25 melee vid of all time with lots of room to climb

incredible as always :)

loved that you had j-music all over this video! always great to see pat bartley getting more love!

Incredible video!

I love the place the music has like in the final game zain being the drum part and cody the melodic instruments is just great beatiful video

"We don't wanna see a steamroll" t. Never had a hated rival

Script can use some cleaning up, but the editing and storytelling is clean. Looking forward to more

Your gameplay edits are top notch, Samox-esque if I may. I think your scripting and story-telling could use a little work. There are so many juicy details to this rivalry, and so much context behind the two. Great work!

It is crazy cause at one point I remember Cody was thinking about switching to Sheik to play against Zain. I think winning a few tournaments and also seeing Mango beat Zain twice on FD at Summit made him decide to stick with Fox. Crazy how the tables have turned- now it seems like Zain has a mental block against Cody!

Watching the same person win over and over again is fun. The most popular teams in history are dynasty’s.

Great content dude!
