Melee's low-tier characters rarely break through at the competitive level, but this compilation celebrates the moments they did. Focusing on upsets by characters ranked below Young Link—a threshold chosen because Young Link remains far more prevalent in high-level play than the cast beneath him—the video documents unexpected wins that shifted expectations.
