Super Smash Bros. Melee has been out for over 20 years, and competitive players are STILL pushing the game to its absolute limit. Year after year, I find myself thinking we’ve witnessed the pinnacle of what this game could be, and year after year I’m consistently proven wrong with how much faster, more precise, and honestly just plain cool some of these players have become.
As we ring in yet another year of incredible Melee, I’m here to show you my personal Top 10 Competitive Plays of 2023.

Good vid but I don't agree with Moky shining a helpless marth 8 times being #1 while Mang0 4 stocking Aklo in under a minute is an honorable mention...

Go off king
Junebug run with DK was one of the best things that happened to melee last year. So happy to see his future tournaments because I believe he can get even better!
#1 is a meme pick
LOVE this idea. NGL a sportscenter style top 10 after majors, building up into a video like this every year, would be sick. Hate the #1 choice though. So many more deserving clips of things that are actually impressive (even just from Moky) than random BM.

I felt like the Mokie shine clip wasn't as much random BM as it was just Mokie feeling like he broke through a confidence wall mid match and expressing it that way the way he knew how, maybe too much of a stretch haha

Mango 4 stocking him in 57 seconds is WAY better. Absolutely that is #1 how on earth would anyone reasonably think its less sick than "haha shine 8 times"

A play sorta has to be contained to some continuous sequence....it can't be spaced out over multiple stocks which basically reset any sequence and toss in invulnerability no less.
idk if it counts but moky vs aklo at arcamelee 4 where moky got 4 stocked twice in a row by aklo and STILL manages to win the set is one of my year highlights
Number 1 was quite a letdown

@@galor6837those shine spikes are easy to do. It was still hype and unexpected, but "best plays" often implies impressive plays, like Cody's recovery vs hbox or Mango's crazy combos
The fact that I’ve seen all of these matches when in early 2023 I had never played smash is a testament to how much you contributed to my love of smash
Maybe the title just should have been most interesting or most storylined or talked about plays? Clearly best has another connotation
@nextkestrel

a title like most talked about plays isn’t going to get the same views and attention also this is a personal list of his top 10 best plays
Terrible pick for #1. Not a moky fan and I thought it was just super unnecessary. Mango 4 stock was so hype
what about mang0’s game winning 0 to death against Moky Game 5?????????????
Ain't no way that's "the best competitive play of 2023" 💀
Great video but i really don't think an average clip of moky BMing an opponent with no recovery options left with shine spikes deserves to be #1 at all, honestly I'm not even sure if i would call it sick in any way
Meme #1
"I need production to censor that clip" is a top tier line
Number 1 is uhhhhhhhhh sure? The runner up is a high level four stock and yet......shine x8 is what takes the top of the list?
Love a lot of the extra details in this. Mentioning Kodorin had Axe's old rank, Mentioning Junebug was #1 in PM, showing he was #45 twice, the callback to Mang0 Leffen at Apex 2014.
love the video but disagree with the number 1 pick
Magi sending off Professor Pro with that combo is actually sick. No better way to lose a match by an undeniably sick combo.
For those confused, the best explanation I've heard as to why Jiggly dies on shield breaks because she's a balloon. Makes sense to me, and I've never even played a Pokémon game.
All those shinespikes into just getting forwardsmashed.
How is moky having a petty, salty power complex over a recovering Marth the best play of the year. That’s literally what people do on unranked to just be toxic
I love the Pokémon jokes on Axe’s Pikachu
one of the best plays is amsa losing horribly with falco? i dont get it

oh my god i forgot about the moky clip but instantly recognised it when it showed up, what a madman
Thanks for the vid Walt! Here’s to melee in 2024! 🎉
I see you writing storylines here Walt!
watching the moky clip live might've been my favorite moment of my year in smash lmao
The fact that the number one clip got by the youtube censors still baffles me. +1
I like the list though I wouldn't agree placement wise. I know it would be a lot but having you do one of these post tournament for the highlights of it would be sick. Like I know some tournaments will clip all the highlight plays and roll them after but having it pan to you doing a quick read out of each one and breaking it down on the spot would be a sick idea.
I unironically love this video. Very entertaining and well produced video
Great list, one was an embarrassing choice though, so it is just an okay list actually
Axe is like shahar shenhar the way he just hit that quad bolt
anything about eddy mexico vs mango
First time in 10 years, moky made me root against mang0. Truly the protagonist of GOML 2023

Not a huge mango fan yeah how tf is that aklo clip only an honorable mention
i love this video and i think the list is pretty solid.
Great vid!
People are entitled to their own opinion. But how is Moky showing off #1? Marth was already dead and the multiple shines served no purpose. As opposed to the Jmook combo which was a sick combo that lead to a death.

Guys what about the Leffen vs Cody set at Ludwig's event?
You know that the quality of the video is great, when the majority of the comments disagree with the #1 choice.
There's more than one odd pick
Acoustic list but pop off king
Axe going 69-0 vs Marth before losing one is scripted ...
There are like 3 top 20 players that carry the weight for hype. Mango, Moky, Magi I just realized the M names. Mango, Moky, Magi make melee, melee. Dont get me wrong every top 20 player can have hype moments but these 3 make it worth watching their sets. Outside of the top 20 we have the falcons, I guess BBB sort of(?) (is he banned?) MOF, Junebug, Axe, and aklo when he goes link. Falco is just a hype character though even though I would argue and say his dair is the lamest most broken aerial in the game. Also the fact moky vs Mang0 Winners Semis at Big House 11 wasn't even in honorable mentions is a disgrace. That final 0-death damn near brought me to tears, it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
This is a good list to people who dont play melee
roy up b also works on pichu and G&W
agreed with comments saying #1 here is not deserving of the top spot
Where is Mango's combo on moky at big house?
6:07 hehe nice
I dont agree with number 1 or 8-10 but still a really good video. Mokys combo and neutral.pressure beforehand was sick but the shining the up B multiple times felt kinda trivial. It was hype in the moment but it wasnt that deep of an interaction. Not hating on Moky because hes dope but he just BM shined repeatedly and it was only made possible because Kodorin decided to go with it and kept recovering. I like strategic plays more for the top plays but still a dope video
There was no other number to end that streak 6:07
Need to pick up the viewership on tournaments.
Moky being on this list is a travesty
Sad that the melee community can't get better content creators for the sport. I hope that things turn around for melee soon and that more talented creators come in to gas it up.
am I crazy or is the framerate super choppy in this video? my quality setting is on 60fps so it's not that

Just buffering. Common on new releases on YT. If you're still getting choppy video after refreshing, give it 10 minutes and come back.
Some of these are more like unexpected or hype plays than the best/ most impressive plays Good vid still
nice watch
Tbh Moky’s combo against Kodorin was just a demonstration of unnecessary silliness/ taunting. Fun sequence, but it wasn’t crucial for the overall game/ set and didn’t require much creativity at all. VERY strange choice for #1 spot
Someone's missing out big time by not sponsering Magi. Maybe Moist should pick her up before someone else does.
magi is such a goat omg i love her
SLIME the goat
prof pro is my goat
Great vid but number ten and one were weird. I don't think Amsa losing is anything cool and that moky clip is mostly just BM. I feel like it should have been an honorable mention at best.
England is explicitly not the EU but great video anyway
please someone host a tourney that only allows low-mid tier characters, so that there's more encouragement to use them and thus, will further help those characters evolve.

Low/mid tiers are defined by how good they are against fast fallers. Whatever metric you choose, designing a tournament in which a Ness - Mewtwo spamming stray DJC aerial's at each other is about as fun as watching me play in Bronze.

@@treycuret I see what you're saying, but I don't see that as entirely true. I think whatever it takes to get more playtime on these lower tier characters will eventually lead to new discoveries. Why purposely choose lower tier when there are higher tier available? Maybe instead of just forcing low tier usage, perhaps an iron-man type ruleset could come into play in a special tournament where players must use one high tier of their choice, one mid, and one low

Number 10 isn't really a .....okay its a play but..why is it the best play its grand finals and he went -1 Magi is mid af but that was a decent play yes number 8 is literally HB got shield broke cause he held shield nonstop.....so what? .....rest is whatever sure why not ur picks not mine Hey since Hungrybox is number 1 player at this game, the best player in the world, why r there no HB plays on this list? So many glorious plays by him each year....like....rest.....and toss up and rest.....and.....rest twice in a row....and kiting in the air waiting for his opponent to approach and automatically take damage in doing so followed by rest
love the #1 pick. stick 2 ur guns walt
