At the premier Smash Bros Melee Super Major, Genesis 9, SSBM's Rank 1 player Zain seeks to complete a 3 peat. Facing off against Aura, a very good Shiek and Peach main in their own right, Zain shows what the gap between Rank 1 can really be.

What’s crazy is that Aura is top 50 and can beat 99.9% of all melee players in the world, yet is still so outclassed by the number 1 player. The skill gap is so absurd.
-
Duuuuude that dancing around him was absolutely insane. Zain has so much sauce it’s unreal.
-
Used to think Zain played like a fresh M2K, all refined and optimal. But God damn. I’ve realized he’s absolutely got that dawg in him.

-
that SDI was absolutely unreal
-
"How does he see it so differently?!" Truer words have never been spoken
-
In a different universe, Aura pulled off the miracle reverse 3-0... Imagine Brandon on the mic if that happened tho.
-
Subtle thing but I love zains light-shield usage this set. These reversals after being pushed off plat are immaculate
-
everyone talking about the dash dance, but 4:38 was so commanding that people in the crowd started laughing
-
remember the goal isn't always to win the goal is always to not be free
-
what's crazy about sets like this, is that the reality that your opponent can make you play bad is so on display...like...aura clearly god like but zain mind melted them to stay and shield while he just marth movemented around it. insane
-
Incredible by the big dog but the crowd popping off when peach took that stock was cute af
-
A man with a lap pillow has never been so scary
-
I want an edit of the eric andre show 'we'll be right back' when zain runs to the other edge of dreamland before ending the set.
-
3:26 That Up-B -> Ledge Cancel -> Dair was insane!! Was that on purpose?!?!
-
the platform cancel at 3:25 made me lose my shit ngl
-
This matchup specifically makes me want to quit using peach she struggles so hard against a good marth. Can’t imagine the struggle against the best player in the world lol.
-
Props to aura for trying to fight back but his movement is his biggest weakness but I'm sure that seeing the gap between him a number 1 has made him better already
-
Bruh, get my man Zain some chicken wings to go with all that SAUCE.

This shows how difficult it is to four stock a top 100 player who's trying. Even Zain playing that well wasn't really close to a four stock.
