The Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of Super Smash Bros. Melee

Dive into the competitive world of Super Smash Bros. Melee with GameFrame as James, Taylor, and Stu show the full history of the community that Nintendo never wanted. The boys explore how the Melee community is still thriving and growing, even after 24 years since the game was released. And watch Stu take on the local Toronto Melee scene as he competes in one of Melee’s most stacked local tournaments.
