Hearing the crowd do the iconic game PIKACHU PIKACHU PIKACHU was so damn cool

36:23 Hungrybox went out of his way to notice that Axe hadn't stood up, was clearly upset, and Hbox chose to encourage the crowd to cheer on the absolutely insane loser's bracket run that Axe had put on. Gestures, clapping, man. It also hurts seeing Axe looking so defeated, so I'm really happy that Juan did it. Say what you want about him, but Hbox is a sportsman and has a lot of respect for people... Unless they talk mad shit lmao

Glad I’m not the only one.

Thank you for introducing that crowd version of the 4 stock to me, and also the rest of the community. Such a thoughtful decision, the care, effort, and clear hours of work resulted in a fantastic doc for the nicest melee player I've ever met, love it.

Axe is my favorite player, and i didn't know a lot of this stuff. He not only is my favorite player, he is one of my favorite people alive. Axe is fucking sick, melee is sick.

Axe is such a legend everybody loves this guy

I remember the first time I saw Axe play, it was Genesis crews, East Vs West coast. He came in against Hax$. Waffles on commentary said "this guy is recommended by Taj, reccomendated by Forward" I remember thinking "a Pikachu? He must be damn good". Little did we know the career he would go on to have.

Axe's and M2k's wins at Summit have some of the most wholesome overall reactions from everybody, even their opponents, that I have ever seen in a FGC win. M2K is so astonished with his own victory as everybody applauds and celebrates him, and the same goes for Axe. Wizzy's hug is so heartfelt, you can really tell these people are universally loved in their community and there wasn't a single soul that didn't feel they deserve those moments. The only other moment that gives a similar feeling (but for different reasons) is Tokido's speech after winning EVO. Fighting games really are something so great.

I love how the community came together after axe's win, they all recognized the significance

Axe is literally Red atop Mt. Silver

@@lukerose4166 This is the most stupidest justification I've seen yet. The only reason why people are reminded is because people like you keep bringing it up every time, thus contradicting what you're saying by giving it attention. Many new players would never bother with learning about D1 if you guys hadn't kept saying "REDACTED" every time he's on the mic. Even if you edit around it, anybody who is interested in the set/history behind the four stock can look it up and they'll question "why wasn't this person's voice in the original video. this is hype!" and bring even more unwanted attention. If you put in extra effort to try and erase history, you're going to get a result that goes against what you're trying to achieve.

I love the haikyuu references!

Incredible. I teared up at the end just as I had the night Axe won Summit8. Truly inspirational

Hey Walt, I just wanted to say I really appreciate the effort that you put into all of these videos. This is the content that I love.

I always shed a tear when I see vectorman hugging axe after the summit win. Really feels like the character arc "we made it" moment.

the algorithm didnt pick this one up, didnt even see this vid until a day after it was released, which is odd considering ive been binging smash docs and mini docs the last couple of days. what a shame

Axe is easily my favorite player. Thanks for doing him justice with this doc!!!

Axe has always been my favorite player, and this win was the most emotional I've felt as a melee fan. I definitely cried

Always a good day when walt uploads

this was absolutely amazing. i really love axe, he's representing what smash, fighting games, hell esports as a whole have kind of drowned out. it's a game, we're all just dudes playing games for fun, to make friends. he'll always be my number 1 favorite player.

A schmoovin' Mario player AND an excellent essayist-storyteller hybrid? You're going places in life, Walt.

Every time I see this video come up, I have to stop what I'm doing and watch it. It's such an incredibly well made documentary about such an incredible story. True perfection in film, this one is.

Genius selection of videos, when to cut certain things, amazing cinematography. Good job Walt, you make such great content dude

Honestly man I tear up every time I think of this video. It’s gotta be the most inspirational video I’ve ever watched. I can just see the word summit and my motivation for everything I do peaks. Thank you, Axe, and everyone in this story that made this possible.

This video is one of the most inspirational videos I have ever seen from one of the nicest people in a competitive setting. I love Axe for everything he's done and archived and I respect him. Great video Walt you have outdone yourself yet again

amazing video as always

I don’t think I’ve enjoyed crying to a video more than this one. I just finished my 4th time watching this and the finals still get me emotional today. I didn’t know much of Axe before but I resonate with him and his hard work and passion. Thank you Walt for an amazing documentary. I’m sure I’ll be back at some point to when I need a good cry again 😅❤

Always have to come back to this.. thank u for making it😔

Damn Walt, honestly your work is just amazing. You are one of the few people that can take any story and turn it into a piece of art. Thank you for this, it was really touching and I feel a certain warmth within me now. Keep up with the great work and I hope the best for you and your channel this 2021

Great video! I've been a big fan of Axe ever since I got into the scene and watching him win Summit 8 is my favourite moment in smash history. Thanks for giving Axe the love he deserves!

love the documentary format you went for here. would love more content like this from you!

This was an amazing piece on one of my favorite competitors in this game, and it brought tears to my eyes reliving all these really emotional moments of Axe’s career. Thank you Walt

Walt, this is absolutely incredible. Thank you, and I'm sure we would all love to see more. Innovation like this is what keeps the scene alive!

34:40 it's hard to believe that there was a period in time where Zain wasn't making top 8, and this time was less than 2 years ago

I live for your content bro - honestly nothing else compares. Thanks for doing this, hope you go places.

Love it. Thank you for this video!

A mash up of my favorite player and ideas from one of my favorite anime. This was such a treat to watch.

Emphatic story. really well told. Thank you for this. it made me cry :')

Definitely the brightest face and the kindest heart in Melee

Walt, this is beautiful. I'm in tears at how emotional all this is. Your stuff is always so good. I'm trying to come up with words and I can't. The only thing I'll say is thank you for the work that you put into this and the work you do for the Melee community.

amazing work man. thanks for doing what you do

Incredible video. Just what Axe deserves!

You guys made me cry, watching that young man grow as a player and person has been an honour. Axe, if you see this, I’m proud of you.

Y'all did a great job with this! As someone who is not into the gaming scene the passion and love I feel from this video is incredible, it's almost like when I watched Haikyuu and then bought a volleyball! Excellent job!

Damn this got me almost tearing up... And I only knew Axe as the 'Pikachu guy' (not really that into melee scene so yeah) before this video. Hope Axe finds a lot more success in the future because he deserves a lot more than just 1 major tournament win. Phenomenal video! always looking forward for more :)

Love your videos. Always brighten my day. Keep up the good work!
