If you get as hopelessly nostalgic around Super Smash Bros. Melee as we do, you're definitely in for a treat with this video.
Smash Bros. Reddit member sass253 has shared a recreation of Melee's opening sequence, created entirely within Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's video editor. While some of the movie's scenes simply cannot be replicated exactly, sass253 aimed "to match the 'feel' of the original shot" throughout, and they certainly succeeded.
Here's the remake, and a reminder of how the original looked just below it. We have to say, this is an absolutely incredible effort.
If you want to find this particular creation in-game, you can do so with the following ID code: 9JW10RLW. The attention to detail here is particularly impressive - did you notice the different camera angles and cuts needed to recreate the Ness sequence, for example? Splendid.
What do you think? Impressed? Let us know if you've been having fun with the game's video editor in the comments below and - if you're reading this, sass253 - amazing job!

Amazing, great effort.
Yeah, I saw this already. It's really really good, I love it. Some parts could have been a little better, but it's certainly way better than I could have done.
That was an impressive labor of love. It was nice seeing the original intro again too. I actually got goosebumps from how I felt when I first saw the trailer way back in the day.
Better than I was expecting but that Zelda yell is just really unsettling after being so used to the original.
The original Super Smash Bros. Melee opening was awesome but was also misleading too in that it hinted at a playable Ridley or a fight with Ridley which never happen in the actual game until the later sequels.
The fight between Ridley and Samus was very well choreographed!
Okau, this is epic
i like the original better.
@Tsurii They did credit the creator in both the description and the comment section, so from my understanding they didn't steal anything.
Heck, even the creator of the video itself commented on Gamexplain that he/she is happy to get the video showcased.
Man the life of smash is growing good life..
This was awesome, very well done considering what is available.
Hope to see more from this creator.
@MH4 giving credit where credit is due: the Ridley was a CPU
And thanks for the kind words everyone!
@sass253 Dang, you got lucky then! Good job overall!
(Also, welcome to NL! Glad your first ever comment was replying to me, haha.)
It was a good attempt, even if it didn't capture everything of what made the original so great.
I just am realizing Yoshi’s current final smash mirrors that scene from Melee!!! 🤯
Also it’s cool how Melee’s opening focuses on each character (well except unlockable ones), if we had an intro like that showcasing every character in Ultimate it’d take like 20 minutes. 😂
Epic! ... Buy why does Sheik start teabagging ay 0:49?
Very well done!
