I've only seen (part of) ep4 of this so far, but the structure they went with seems really sporadic/scattershot, and I personally find it pretty bad? It feels like they had tons and tons of footage with zero forethought for arranging it / telling a story, and are trying to include as much of the collected footage as possible across this whole multi-episode production, which has made the experience feel like a bushel of tangents.
Edit: Now I've seen eps 4-6 and what I typed earlier still applies but not quite as much. That being said, this is certainly not stirring up feelings in me like the 2013 documentary was able to do back then (I have no idea how much of that is due to difference of time and context vs the content of both projects). And I don't even feel a fraction of what I often feel watching top 8s for melee tourneys - there's nowhere near enough tension or anticipatory build-up to enjoy moments that were historically quite hype. This ended up feeling bland for me personally, gotta be honest. I'm not even ready to mentally jump into how this series wants to have its cake and eat it too when it comes to addressing what terrible human beings many of the players were/are. The vibe at the end of it all certainly seems to excuse all past behavior too for the sake of the game or something which... yeesh. It was just jarring to see those tangents of "here's something horrible X player did/said, now let's move past that because in the next tournament this happened!"
