As a game that has been played both casually and competitively for nearly two decades, Super Smash Bros. Melee is pretty much clear on this point. But one thing has always eluded diehard fans, at least in terms of recorded images: a perfect execution of the credits. That changed two days ago.

Zarate will reportedly spend the $ 3,000 reward on his tuition fees. Godspeed.
