You can’t make this stuff up… melee’s longevity is in its lack of parody believe it or not. Games die when there’s a new champ every major. Cinderella stories are great … but I want to see Duke vs UNC at the end.
@@hardnewstakenharder Yeah now we have shit like Mango vs. Zain at Summit 11, Mango vs. aMSa at Big House 10, and now Cody taking Big House 11 with the best tournament run of all time.
yeah i think its just cus the cultures been there for years where ppl hate piff, hbox is definitely not as campy as sp many other puff mains but hey, youre not a great player if you dont have haters
@@user-wx2vf4ii1b I used to think this cuz recent Hbox is actually very hype (not as effective either), but when you see Hbox back against the wall in a tournament he really wants to win, he is not afraid to make certain sacrifices to win, being ready to time out, ledgestall his opponents. I still think Hbox is cool and doesn't deserve the hate, but sometimes 'slow' isn't enough of a descriptor for some of his past matches.
I was originally going to comment, that this moment was the peak of melee. Until I realized they probably said that about MLG 2006. then melee died, rebirthed, and gave us so many epic moments and stories in the past decade. So here’s to another decade of melee 🥂
I watched Emp's video on HBox.....I still don't get why such a large portion of a community hates/hated the guy.......He was working his arse off to win and was pretty much the underdog in any match that he played against a Fox main.....yet was able to consistently win.
Girthquake Gaming To be fair, in smash 4 the character matters way more. I'm a smash 4 player and while I respect how Melee players don't blame characters, any pair of characters can play each other and have an equal chance of winning in Melee. A Pichu can beat a Fox easily. Meanwhile in smash 4, a Jigglypuff has almost no chance against a Bayonetta in tournament.
actually, i think it's quite the opposite in smash 4. in melee, you rarely are gonna see a low-tier character take out a mid/top level player using a high tier. there's just no way. (unless this is m2k's pichu we're talking about, or maybe dj nintendo's bowser) in smash 4, however, we've seen stuff like brood defeating zero, mekos defeating nairo, lazyboredom defeating captain zack, t defeating abadango, elegant defeating mkleo and placing 2nd in a supermajor, etc...
Nah, Smash 4 has far more lob-sided character matchups than Melee. Solo maining in high-level is impossible outside 5 or so characters, which is worse than Melee both numerically and ratio wise.

Do you mean 'parity'? If not, I'm not sure what you mean.
For me this was the peak of melee. Underdog clutching a major win in front of a huge audience with everything on the line
especially after getting knocked into losers in winners semis
@Diss Raps yeah ofc its an fgc event
It got better after if, if you can believe.
@@hardnewstakenharder Yeah now we have shit like Mango vs. Zain at Summit 11, Mango vs. aMSa at Big House 10, and now Cody taking Big House 11 with the best tournament run of all time.
To this day, this is probably my favorite Melee set.
This GF, smash summit 11 GF, Genesis 3 GF. GOATed sets
This crowd is so much bigger than EVO 2017 Smash 4 Finals lol
EVO 2017 Smash 4 Grands was such a similar set too.
I don't know why the people hate Hbox, it's so hard maining a floaty and softy character! Go Hbox and long live to Jiggly!
yeah i think its just cus the cultures been there for years where ppl hate piff, hbox is definitely not as campy as sp many other puff mains but hey, youre not a great player if you dont have haters
@@user-wx2vf4ii1b You're right, ??.. the hbox's Jiggly performance is so different and pro style.. does not deserve it, for the haters I say..

I still think Armada is the GOAT, but I was pulling for Hbox this finals. What an incredible finale to a tournament.
Hbox has won more big tournaments than Armada
@@Isakuya Didn't he win most of those when Armada wasn't around though?
@@rockzyk1291 Yeah. Because he retired. Because he couldn't keep up. And hbox could.

So here’s to another decade of melee 🥂
summit 11 grands took the crown
Well said champ
Ya know, I hated Hbox for so long. But now I just respect this man.
@Rene_gade "hbox fan"? "temper"? This doesn't add up lol

@@SilentHotdog28 because he plays a "lame character"
@@SilentHotdog28 because he spams bair and camps
It's kind of like people hating Lebron, eventually you just gotta appreciate greatness.
I can see my self in the corner of this video. This video just made my entire week!! Never forget!!
Got chills dang
I wanted Armada ro win and when Hbox made the 2 rests on game 5 s1 and game 4 s2, I was like fuck.
I miss offline tournaments
I respect the player not the character
Meanwhile in smash 4...

haha the balance in melee is terrible and everyone plays the same 2 characters

Thats a great view! Oh my!

Resetting the bracket?
Do you not know what it is or are you surprised by it
