But at Mango Juice, he would harness his hatred for Falcon and countless sets of being beaten around by Mango’s secondaries in order to seek his revenge against the man who kneed him into meme-immortality.
Zhu has been on the receiving end of many classic Melee moments, be it Wombo Combo or the JV4 against Mango’s Falcon.
Its controversial ending remains one of Melee’s most infamous.

Jman had slowly been on the rise in Tristate and was the only player in his region to take a set off Mew2King, while Darkrain was a member of the elite Captain Falcon trio (Scar and SilentSpectre were his contemporaries) and had actually defeated PC Chris at Pound 3 a year prior. Warning: much like every other older era Melee set, the language used within it is outdated and not acceptable by modern standards.Ī much forgotten set among newer Melee players, this is still one for the record books. Between Mango proving to his doubters that his other characters were not far behind his Jigglypuff, the crowd-pleasing style of SilentSpectre and the legendary HomeMadeWaffles/Phil commentary duo, this set is a must-watch for anyone who loves good old-fashioned, grassroots regional lore. SilentSpectre sets to choose from, but nothing stood out as much as their epic clash at the same tournament of Wombo Combo. It was just a decade ago when NorCal and SoCal had the most heated regional rivalry in Melee. This set is among the most under appreciated and incredible of 2015, with two god-slaying titans butting heads in their best matchups. Silent Wolf had made it this far after beating Mew2King, while Druggedfox had sent Mango to loser’s bracket and also edged out 3-2 victories over Colbol and SFAT, notably popping off at the heavily West Coast crowd after the latter set. This losers semifinals set was among the most unexpected matchups at a national. Here’s another fun fact about NCR that makes it even more legendary: this was the first significant tournament in which Scar and Toph commentated together.Ĩ9. But out of the many PewPewU sets considered for the list, it was this one, where he faced off against Melee’s most beloved player, that stood out as one of his most memorable. PewPewU has been a longtime Melee fan favorite, from once being dubbed as “the best Marth since Ken” to shocking the world with his upset over Hungrybox at Apex 2015. I can’t say that this list is really anything more than just my opinion based on a set of arbitrary criteria that I try to be fair with, but I hope it’s an entertaining and convincing read for anyone interested in Melee. I’ve been writing about Melee news and Melee history for almost three years. I’ve never heard of you! What makes you think you’re qualified to determine Melee’s best sets above anyone else? More accurately, the final project could be interpreted as “Edwin’s Top 100 favorite Melee sets of all time.” But I’d like to think that the effort I took into pursuing this project, as well as writing a book about Melee history, would be enough for this list to be somewhat of an authoritative starting resource for any newcomer to the scene, and not just some guy’s opinion. There were a bit more than 120 sets that I initially listed.
Before anyone asks about why “X” wasn’t on the list, chances are that it could have easily made the Top 100, but just wasn’t selected. After creating this initial list, I chose to order and cut down what I had selected, based on both the criteria I listed in my previous post and personal taste. This project is exactly what it sounds like: a recap of my top 100 favorite Melee sets leading up to my book release.Īs detailed in my introduction and methodology post, I went through all of Melee history and picked my favorite sets from each year and major tournament. What is The Top 100 Melee Sets of All Time? Purchasing a physical copy will be available at a later date. Physical copies are TBA, and currently only available for those who purchased the book for a limited offer on The Big House 8 Compendium. I began working on the book in late 2016, and am releasing it for electronic consumption on May 8, 2019. It follows Melee’s greatest players and leaders through their collective efforts to support the scene’s survival over nearly two decades. “The Book of Melee” is my upcoming book about the history of the competitive “Super Smash Bros. Here’s a brief FAQ on this project and The Book of Melee. I’m happy to present my Top 100 Melee Sets of All Time, with today’s focus on the sets ranked 90-81.
