The Golden Age of Smash, the founders and creators of what the game is today. Ken might have been the King, but only because Isai decided that he didn't want the crown, ... he did want that cape though

I feel like Isai didn't actually get much enjoyment from winning because he was just such an insanely natural god at this game; perhaps for even deeper personal reasons as well. He knew other people enjoyed winning so he'd let them win cause he didn't want them feeling bad with him absolutely dominating and so instead tried to give them the rush of the win even though they deep down knew he was sandbagging.

Nah. Gavin's closer to the mark then you are, man. Isaiah's match against Ken proves that he's capable of putting it all on the line against impossible odds.

Clinton Chelak have you watched the smash documentary man? most of the clips are just copied and pasted from it tbh though GRmash did put in some custom edits as well but what I'm trying to say is you don't seem that familiar with who Isai is.. Sure you may be kind of right in the fact that not trying makes you a failure but it isn't always that simple.. Isai was a very quiet and in some cases depressed individual so he may have been second guessing himself... but the matter of the fact is that Isai was indisputably the best player in the world back then when he actually tried, he just didn't have that drive to win unless he was in 2v2's because then he was fighting for a friend and not just himself. Literally every single one of the players that helped form the smash community as it is today testifies that Isai was unbeatable when he actually tired. We wouldn't have competitive smash like we do today if it weren't for him because of all the times he carried Ken or helped Ken practice to get as good as he was.

@Ridghost

Also it's very obvious when someone is sandbagging compared to someone who is trying but sucking and making excuses. All these pro-players believe he was sandbagging, when they are in a culture where many pro's do make excuses and "john" a hell of a lot. That's because they know, when someone attempts to waveshine, but fucks up, they were trying. When someone basically suicides every stock, without even caring, that's sandbagging. On top of the fact that it's proven that this guy can go beast mode during a finals, shows that he isn't a choker and he is capable of getting into the "zone" whenever he needs to. The guy is naturally god like at Melee, but he is not a competitor at heart, he is just a gamer. It's no disrespect, but Isai had no competitive spirit for Melee. He does now for 64, but he certainly didn't for Melee.

It show a certain human aspect to it all SMASH is a video game; it was played by people who were, at the time, seeking an escape from life Video games may have established a place in this materialist world today but they were always an escape from realty And i feel that most of the people who play video games can connect with Isai much more than they can Mango or M2K or Armada or any other pro player sheerly because he played for the love of the game Not because he wanted to be the best Not because he had a point to prove But because he enjoyed playing the game, both against people of his own skill level and people who sucked dick at a videogame

A year later so this is probably buried, but i need this off my chest. All the people denying the potential of Isai were he to be playing today are basing it off this gameplay exclusively without thinking of time. Were he to consistently actually try and practice as much as the other pros, considering his gameplay over 5 years ago looks like todays meta movement, imagine how much he'd evolve his own playstyle to today. He'd absolutely be a god. After all, like they said, that final match with Ken is what sparked the melee scene to explode into what it is today. Without him Melee would never have gotten as much recognition as today nor would tech have evolved this quickly.

I have so much respect for Isai both as a person and as a player. He doesn't play to win, he plays to have fun. If he wins, that's a bonus. If winning means making other people happy, then he'll make it happen.

There is no footage of it (on KZread at least), that's why you can't find it. The montage is made up of pictures of the characters and clips from other random matches.

101mrcrazyman I personally put him on a pedestal not because he plays well or is famous, but because he is an amazing person who has stayed true to himself throughout the years despite the fame he has gotten. Not to mention he is actually a decent person unlike some people (hint hint).

I believe the reason of why Isai is just so good is NOT that he's just naturally good at Melee like everyone says. I believe it's all because 64 mechanics, like the long ass hitstone, bad recoveries, Z-cacelling, and when playing Melee all those dificulties are gone, and I believe that's also a reason of why Wizzrobe' SDI is just unreal

I don't think it's a matter of the "difficulties" of 64 being absent, I mean Z cancelling is more lenient and rewarding than L cancelling. The games are just really similar, and experience in one will show in the other.

Reverse 3-2 victory over Ken after trailing 2-0 This dude must've been an absolute monster to literally go "It's time to win."

Isai in singles: 'Meh.' Isai in doubles: '... Alright, yeah. I got this one. And the next one. Just stay back.'

2:37 - The music syncs perfectly with Isai's combo.

Legit every single move is in sync with the clapping wtf

The outcome of a match against Isai was never determined by the opponents' skill level. It was determined by whether Isai had decided to win or not.

Is it weird that I get nostalgic for my own music video because of that Mega Man remix? Thanks GRsmash for all your videos. The best Melee channel on KZread. I don't think beyond it being a meme that people really know that Isai was really that good when he tried and could make even Ken look like a scrub when he went all out.

Isai was playing like pros today, and his mind games are unheard of back then! He could've taken this game to another level if he still would've been playing. I salute you, original C.Falcon!😎 6:52 !!! 3 knees! back then that was unknown/impossible to man but not for Isai, BEAST!!! Even to this day that's hard to do! Isai does it like it's his breakfast 😏.

I think isai was my first ever KZread subscription. Back when sets got uploaded 1 game at a time with no commentary lol. He'll always be a legend to me

I've always wondered GRsmash... Why is James Franco on your profile picture?

Definitely one of your best, if not the best, edited video you've done. This got me so hyped when I first saw it, and really showed just what it takes to become a Super Saiyan at Smash.

that whole part of the doc is what made me start playing smash and isai is the reason i play falcon. great vid gr :D

How to play against ISAI: Unplug Controller Walk away

Definitely one of my favorite videos from GRsmash I wish isai would come back to Melee for a tournament or 2 but he's all N64 now 😥 But god damn I love all his matches he has with Superboomfan and tacos and a lot of them So fun to watch him go at it in a game that's pretty much known as HIS game I guess that's why he chooses to stay with 64

So Isai is the ultimate god of melee, and there is litterally no one that can even compare to him, and therefor, he doesn't enjoy the game any longer, and thus, he stopped playing the game. Actually really sad.

Truls Henriksson Or he's overrated, enjoys 64 more, has the opposite of a superiority complex (the actual name escapes me atm) where he gains happiness from seeing others happy; even if he has to put himself lower or out of the picture completely. Y'know, things that actually make sense.

This is a really good video. I like the different pace than your usual top 10's.

FANTASTIC. The bonus was so well done -- the main content, as well!

Your content is always on point mr Grsmash, good job ;D

I genuinely look up to Isai. He seems like such a kind soul, and the reason im a filthy captain falcon player

Dude this guy's falcon literally looked like it came from today

I feel like this is one of the best videos you have ever done it was very well put together I really enjoyed it! I've been watching a very long time but this video just seems so good.

Golden Era melee was so sloppy compared to now and really shows how far people have come.

Isai is so cool that part of his serious mode is styling with mid-combo taunts and moonwalks

Isai used to be my favorite player… it's awesome to see him in his prime, exerting himself to the fullest. Thanks for making this video. :)

good stuff gr, best bonus clip in a while!

The production quality on this video is really high. Thank you!

Forgive me Ken, but I must go all out just this once.

It’s funny to me how the cynical meme “if only Isai tried” has become so prevalent that people are oblivious and think Isai was just overhyped. The truth is he just didn’t enjoy the game anymore and stopped caring. He was a monster when he did want to win and was truly ahead of his time. His movement was ridiculous and even most modern players aren’t this technical. I hope one day Isai gets on unranked and schools some people. They need to remember his name.

You went super hard on this one... Amazing editing imo !

That editing was amazing, GR. So good.

It's funny to see people saying things like "The new meta wouldn't fit Isai old playstyle" while he was the first to ever do shield dropping and wave landing in 2004 which the current meta uses. One more thing, he has a Shiek!!!!

99% of all players would still get scraped by the Isai Ken GFs. insane how destructive they were.xdfp

This was sick man, thanks!

hey I dont know who you are, but I really want to say thank you! really. it felt good to see some good footages of Isai back from when he was playing melee. Its good that you honnered him with a videos montage such as this. thank you. I also want to thank you for listing the name of the songs you used for this vid

We may have lost him in Melee, but seeing him play in 64 is just as awesome!

...I'd just love to see a prime Isai that TRIES vs the 5 gods today and how he'd fair against them. All with Captain Falcon. So basically Cap vs Jiggs, Fox, Falco, Peach and Marth. Shit would be fire.

He would get stomped. Only if he had the same practice regimen would he be able to hang with them.

Those Isai moments are for sure the best highlights in the Smash Documentary. Man, Isai is so inspiring!

Isai’s movement even in todays scene is so crisp. Like man he’s really good. I miss a lot of the older players. Isai was always one of my faves. Being about 13-14 watching the documentary I really enjoyed learning about him. I remember doing a pretty good drawing in miiverse of him wish I kept it or had a picture of it.

Man, Isai and Cap.Jack got me in to competitive melee back in the day. Especially Wes vs Germ inspired me to play link. they were so epic!
