yeah sex is cool but have you listened to 0:49 of the melee opening

0:49 To cure depression.

0:49 just hits different sends chills down every part of my body.

0:49 nothing can change my opinion about this part of Melee’s opening theme it’s SOOOO GOOD

Every time the Sheik scene comes up, I feel like I'm about to cry.

I regret selling this game.

0:29 just knowing all that Link sacrificed to save the world, seeing that slideshow of the events of Ocarina of Time...what an ode to such a powerful game...tears...

It’s crazy this game is 20 years old today. This game, and the games that followed, were all masterpieces

"Avengers: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history" Me, an intellectual:

0:49 is literally the only snippet of music that I’ve heard in my entire life that consistently gives me mf chills every time I hear it. I love it.

0:29 is so amazing. How it shows scenes from OOT in the background and the music . I can’t be the only one.

The absolute, raw confidence on display when they flash the logo for just a third of a second at 0:16, that's slowly become my favorite part of this video. When they showed this as a reveal trailer, people couldn't even start cheering before it was already gone.

0:49 the most beautiful part I love that melody

0:27 IT'S POSSIBLE NOW BOYS

0:49 I forget how beautiful this one bit is. The charm, the choir singing, and the way the scenery moves with zelda and shiek. Just breathtakingly beautiful

As sad or crazy as this may sound... This opening gives me such an intense feeling of nostalgia that i have goosebumps over my whole body the entire time and sometimes even tear up and cry. Ive never felt this level of nostalgia with anything else

If they could remaster this opening it'd be amazing

My god, the memories. The amount of times I played this as a kid with my brother, this game will forever be in my heart!

Everyone’s obsessed with 0:49 and I agree! But this whole song is just genius. Masterpiece

One of if not the best smash intro. Especially considering 0:49. There's just something so magical about this scene. I can't quite describe it but it's just absolutely amazing. Gives me chills evertime.

Holy shit, I just realized that when this game came out, Samus had still never been in a 3D game of her own

0:49 My goosebumps when from 0 to ∞

0:49-1:02 is the most majestic thing anyone could ever come up with.

Whoever composed this is a genius

0:27 And it only took 17 years for Ridley to actually make it into Smash... boy has time passed

0:49 Is a part of one of Kirby song named butter building

Damn, 0:49 made me emotional when I was younger now I have full on tears. Beautiful.

Very few things make me feel like a kid again but 0:49 always takes me back to those days

This was ahead of its time , truly a masterpiece, I mean look at 0:49

0:35 They Are Running Away From The IRS After Committing Tax fraud

Melee intro > Every other one combined

In a game that was so quickly worked on, it was given so much love and effort, the creators really pushed the boundaries of what a Nintendo fighting game could be, this game is still well alive with its community, a sparkling future to come.

Fun fact: the choir singing in the background at the end of the intro comes from heaven itself

1:17 Expand Dong gone wrong

What some younger folk may not get is that no smash bros had the jump between games as the Original and Melee. The graphics, characters, orchestra , stages, and combat all were such a significant improvement from the first in just a 2 year span.

The French horns at 0:30 and links poses gives me happiness chills all over me

0:07 when I saw this as a kid I literally couldn’t believe my eyes. Absolutely legendary.

0:55 Oh, hey, Kirby went so fast he travelled back in time temporarily to escape Galeem. :P

The nostalgia really just hits hard in the everything, doesn't it

Happy 20th Anniversary, Super Smash Bros. Melee

Sheik's part ftw.

The sheik part gives me shivers

0:49 this part is simply just legendary Best Smash Bros intro without a doubt

Friendly reminder: out of anything such as Master Hand, Galeem and all the bullshit from Subspace Emissary, a Bob-Omb is just as capable as them to turn characters into trophies.

0:35 Yoshi final smash in Ultimate

0:49 Tears and chills everytime.

Happy 20th anniversary Melee! 🎂🎉

I am 30 years old. This shit still brings genuine tears and emotions. Such excitement, so much power in a single video.

Straight up magic. I'll never forget the day I saw this trailer. My 13 year old mind was truly blown beyond belief that day. Also imo, this intro is still the best Smash Bros opening.

0:29 I have tears of happiness. I miss my old times.

Happy 20th Anniversary Super Smash Bros Melee

1:03 so neat to see the world of Earthbound rendered in a 3D environment. Ness’s teleportation looks exactly like the Delorean from Back To The Future! Oh and MR. SATURN. How could I forget?

That Shiek part is just majestic, thanks to the beautiful music and crisp animation. The power of Kirby music combined with the will and effort of emotion is astounding. I will always come to this video.

SUPER SMASH BROTHERS.. MELEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

the frame at 00:17 always gave me chills. so epic.

This will always be one of the best openings to a video game, and the best smash opening

1:23 it still gives chills even more than the whole intro. Love this game

0:49 gives me chills every time daymn

So is no one gonna talk about Ridley, Wolf, and Samurai Gorro are in this.

The quick flash of the logo at 0:14 before an amazing slow mo and epic drum part is the reason this is the best intro ever

the intro predicted amiibos

15 years my friends

I love how good it looks when Ness comes flying out of that portal via PK teleport

We got a black GameCube and ordered super smash bros melee on Christmas. Our old platinum didn’t work anymore. So I haven’t heard this in so long. And the past few years all I could hear was the melody from Sheiks part of this intro. The day before new years though, we finally got the game. I put the disc in and nah man. 0:49 almost made me cry of joy :)

As a kid I always thought this was one of the most badass openings ever and still do. It made me want a story mode for Smash so bad and I was so hyped when I saw that Brawl had one. It wasn't all that great but the cutscenes in it were amazing and it was cool seeing all the characters come together

0:35 When the final bell rings on the Last day of school

We've made it! At the time I'm posting this of December 3rd, 2021, Super Smash Bros. Melee is now a 20 year-old game. This is the first Smash game I've ever played. I played it since around 2009. It's so nostalgic to me and an amazing game. It has a decent character roster, great gameplay, the best intro, and amazing soundtracks. Thank you Masahiro Sakurai for making not only an excellent video game, but also a work of art. Same applies to the latest Smash game. ❤

I never even owned this game but watching this feels nostalgic. Melee without a doubt has my favorite opening OST in all of Smash. I especially love the melody at 0:30 , it feel so grand and epic.

0:49 to 1:02 is the best part to me

Imagine people at 1:06 saying “Dang, they made so many Pokémons Playable”

2023 and this intro is still goated 🐐

The late 90s, early 2000s, were so artistical for videogames, the beginning of the intro it's so symbolical, Mario coming back to life, it's like a way to say ''You're not only a videogame character, you're here for something epic, and that it's, battling''. I love the way it portray the characters.

The Sheik scene is my favourite

I’m here for 0:49 - 1:00. This is literally the only game intro I never skip. I’m always amazed by it. 😃

On this day 20 years ago, Super Smash Bros. Melee released in Japan on Nintendo GameCube.

At the end when the announcer just says *SUPER SMASH BROTHERS, MELEE!!!!!* brings tears and nostalgia at the exact same time

I just realized something. The part where DK's getting shocked by Samus' charged energy ball is a reference to the first Smash Bros. intro where DK and Samus are fighting.

Watching the intros legitimately make me want to cry

I absolutely love that the screen goes black, the music stops and it just says Nintendos All Stars in.. then just right back into like nothing happened

20 YEARS OF MELEE AND MANY MORE TO COME

1:12 um... yeah captain falcon literally just murdered that guy

The songs lyrics: SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEEEEEEEEEEE (No need to thank me :))

Of all the SSB intros, Melee remains undefeated!

The beginning is just a masterpiece: the trophy thrown with such force it's in the sky that short little shine at the peek and then falls aggressively and just as it stops the transformation glow from the bottom stopped by the dramatic pause to a black screen showing nintendo being like "yeah we made this, yeah we bad ass" (before the company started being greedy fucks) and all the way the music in sync holy frick! i can watch this opening every day and be like damn this will always be my favorite game of all time!

0:49 to 0:50 That part is so beautiful with Sheik and Zelda. 💫

64’s Intro: Gamplay footage and a few animated sequences Melee’s Intro: Animated sequences scenes from trailers and some gameplay footage Brawl’s Intro: Mostly Cutscenes from subspace emissary and some gameplay footage 4’s Intro: Scenes from trailers and gameplay footage Ultimate’s Intro: A few scenes from World Of Light and mostly gameplay footage

This is one of, if not the best cinematic in video game history.

"How did you guys cope with 9/11"? with this.

Straight up cried after watching this. This game heavily affected my childhood, and seeing the Sheik and Ness parts hit me right in the nostalgia, as my sister mainly used Zelda/Sheik, and I used Ness (now I use Roy, as we never unlocked anyone other than Luigi, Dr. Mario, Jigglypuff, Young Link, and Ganondorf). The opening was just the nost amazing thing I've ever seen at the time, and I remember when my sister and I unwrapped a GameCube on Christmas 2005 (being only 3 and my sister being 6) we were ecstatic. The GameCube was the first game console we ever had (aside from the V-Smile) and along with it, wegot Mario Kart: Double Dash, Wind Waker, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes (for my dad) Mario Party 6, and an odd game called "Super Smash Bros. Melee. The only characters we recognized were the Mario Characters, and Pikachu. We tried out this game first, and loved it. My sister went immediately to Zelda, because she looked cool. I went to Ness, because I had a similar looking hat to him. We spent HOURS playing it, being TERRIBLE at the game, to the point where the GameCube somehow BROKE because we were on it way too long. We got another one, but tried out the other games first. Wind Waker was single player, so we noped on that one. MP6 was fun, we weren't allowed to play Twin Snakes, Double Dash was fun, we played Bob-Omb blast a lot. But we always eventually went back to Melee. We got Brawl a couple years later, (me now being 8) and were good at it, but we always went back to Melee. We got SSBU recently, although my sister wasn't able to play it much with me, being in High School now.

Mario sunshine, double dash, wind waker, twilight princess, metroid prime, echoes, smash melee, pikmin, luigi's mansion. i miss my childhood so much right now.

Happy 20th anniversary Super Smash Bros Melee This legend is never gonna died

Everybody talking about 00:49 but can we talk about how cool this shot is 1:19???

1:17 rip Donkey Kongs banana

We can all agree that Melee had the best opening out of all of the Smash Bros. games currently.

Noatalgia just overtakes when i watch this. Going back to those days with my friends , all of us rushing home after school to play this game and battle each other. There won't ever be that again. 26 now. Time flies like crazy.

wow.. today is the day i say happy 20th birthday to this beautiful masterpiece

0:35 when she breaks up with her boyfriend

0:35 Me and the boys running to my house when mom makes pizza rolls.

That “Melee” gets me teary eyed

Happy 20th anniversary!!!
