THE FUTURE!!!
🕑 Added 2025-06-05 13:57:12 +0000 UTCToday I'll be publishing my final Melee video. After this one, I'll be focusing on more "general" video game stuff. Like the current stuff on my channel, they'll be videos about games I'm passionate about; with the same style of editing, the same style of narration, the sameish kind of subject matter(s), just... with other games. I tell you this, my BEAUTIFUL, GENEROUS, and PAYING patrons, because you're probably a member of the Patreon to support my Melee video-making endeavors, and I'll no longer be making Melee stuff. If you decide this new direction isn't something you want to support: thank you so much for supporting while you did. It truly, truly meant a lot. If you wish to continue supporting: thank you. The new videos will be just as cool. I promise.
With the tone of the ending in 'A video about Melee', a lot of people correctly assumed that it was intended to be my farewell. I think it would've served as a pretty good one too. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I had the idea during its production to "clean out", so to speak, my remaining little tidbits and create the 'One Issue With Every Character in Melee' shorts series. Completing this series though, meant that my sappy, perhaps melodramatic "final video" was supplanted by a YouTube Shorts™ series. Jesus. So, I decided instead to brainstorm another idea, and I landed on a kind of "in defense of" type-of-thing for Final Destination. Controversial, for sure, but something I genuinely think is important for the game. Plus, it's pretty cool to have the final Melee vid be about Final Destination (and Fox).
Admittedly, it's a bit underwhelming as a farewell to the game I've lovingly made videos about for nearly a decade, so I guess you can think of 'A video about Melee' as the farewell letter, the shorts series as the P.S., and the FD video as the P.P.S..
Though my interest in the game has undoubtedly waned, and I don't watch every tournament from pools to top 8 anymore, I'm sure I'll still keep up with the scene relatively closely, and I will be eternally grateful for what this scene has given me as a single dude making goofy videos about a goofy game. And I'll definitely continue getting cooked on unranked. If you want more high quality Melee stuff that's similar to mine in my absence, I recommend my friend turndownforwalt's channel, and my YouTube colleague Melee Moments' channel.
Thank you guys for watching my videos. I really enjoyed making this stuff, and I hope you'll enjoy what I'm planning for the future!

I realized it’s been a minute since I saw ya and thought I’d check the ole Patreon. Wish I’d seen this sooner! A Video about Melee hit me in the absolute feels when you posted it, and it was a fitting farewell. I hope your new stuff is progressing well and I for one will stay active. If for no other reason that say thanks for the countless hours of work you put in.
