For 25 years, reaching a major Grand Finals with Luigi was considered impossible. At Pat’s House 5, a 19-year-old named RapMonster changed Super Smash Bros. Melee history forever.

When you think of the greatest mid-tier runs in Melee history, you probably think of aMSa's Yoshi or Axe's Pikachu. Luigi, despite the legendary efforts of players like Abate and Plup, had always been gated out of the highest echelons of the game. That is, until the first half of the 2026 season.

This is the story of the historic bracket at Pat's House 5, and how a teenager broke the Melee scene.
