free melee type beat

Imagine you step out of the tourney venue for a quick break and a sip of water. The hum of cathode-ray tube televisions fades into silence as you walk out the door. There's a light drizzle going outside, but the sky is still full of stars. You huddle up with your fellow Smashers, laugh at a couple bad jokes, arrange plans to get some food, argue about who's making top 8. You stare up into the heavens, vast and endless. The heavens stare back down at you. You can't help but feel adrift in this massive universe. Stars blink in and out of existence. Light-years away, a supernova shakes the fabric of spacetime. Galaxies twist and tumble. Black holes churn and spin. Your buddies grab your shoulder and tell you they're all heading back in to catch top 64 and get some more friendlies in. And just like that, you're not so adrift anymore. You are reminded that you are not lost. In fact, you're at home. The community that folks have built around Melee is right where you belong. And you're glad to be a part of it.



Yo! I have other videos in the works, but school has been fucking me so impossibly hard recently. I've barely even had enough time to get angry at Nintendo for murdering The Big House. However, I had to sit back and channel my fury into a little piece of music. Isn't it scientifically demonstrated that artistic pursuits are a healthy outlet for anger? I don't know. Someone Google that.

Thanks for watching. Have a great day. And don't forget: #SaveSmash and #FreeMelee. Same shit every single day until we've changed the future.

And by the way, yes, I did quote the motif from the Melee Menu 1 Theme on the virtual piano here. Glad you caught that.
