I never expected this to be our last set X_X ggs dude
😭😭😭😭😭😭
m2k you played sick as fuck and congrats on having a really good melee year so far
Was a hell of a way to go out
You never know when you're gonna say goodbye...
Zsaber Maverick :(
Love seeing m2k smiling in frustrating situations rather than shaking his head and looking down, mentality showing signs of plup
Ser Smiles maybe they switched :(
M2k is a shonen protagonist
Well this comment didn't age well
Plup will bounce back
@@hushpuppi3 wdym
We didn't realize it at the time, but this was the end of an era. This set is almost like a farewell from both M2K and Armada. I do think M2K will come back around to Melee eventually, but we're most definitely in a new era of Melee, where it's anyone's game.
He back maybe I hope
@@mckenziebraswell-miller2327 Yeah! I'd love to see both M2K/PP back into the game once IRL tournaments start up again, eventually
I think this and summit 11 GF’s are the two contenders for best sets of all time.
@@natecallon9755 Hell yes! I'd have to throw TBH9 in the mix, though you can build a case for so many other sets too. Love to see this list continuing to grow as the years go by :)
@@gonzo_o_o indeed, im gonna be commenting on this in a year or two (or less) every time another potential best of all time comes up lol. i doubt anything will come close to this summit for a while though
I decided to rewatch this set after a few years. The shot of Armada at 53:08 gives me chills, seeing him stand there in all his glory. It looks like a celebration to his career, not just at SSC. Especially seeing as this was his last set
He knew
Still iconic
Pure cinema.
I think this is the greatest set(s) of all time:
-the storied rivalry between the two players
-not only was it grand finals but it is one of the only grand finals sets to ever go to game 5 in both sets (and to be so back-and-forth from start to finish).
-the final set that 2 of the games greatest players would ever play against each other
-and finally, even though Mew2king lost in the end, he really showed not only how far his mentality had come along but also showed that he could maintain his composure aginst one of his greatest demons.
This set was exactly what Melee is all about.
yea and notibly M2K won between them the last two times they played.
@AL-lh2ht I don't think he did. Mew2king beat him at Canada Cup at the end of 2017, then he beat him twice at Summit 6 to win that too. However, between Summit 6 and Smash Con 2018, they played at Evo, which Armada won 2-1 and they played at Smash N Splash, which Armada also won.
Best grand finals set of the year without a doubt
Also 52:52 lol mang0
SkullKid24 Nixon confetti armada
Lol mango2king
One of the best Grand Finals of all time. M2k pop-offs are hype.
Salvatore Fidanza troll🤦♂️
This makes me wish dislikes did something
Another amazing grand finals to add to the list. 2018 melee has been amazing.
SunBeam you mean sm4sh
@@JoshT4life Sm4sh only had amazing sets in 2017
SunBeam you even saw evo?????
Victor the Kid i saw evo but this grand finals blows evo grand finals by miles
This grand was more intense then evo one is what I'm saying
This is Armada's last tournament Melee singles set. 52:26 is Armada's last tournament Melee singles combo
Pretty sick combo
One of the best Melee sets of the year. I don't know how Armada does it everytime, he is amazing to outlast M2k's Marth who was on fire
Every time? 🤔 But he lost to M2K in grand finals at Smash Summit 6.
Because Peach RNG .
@@LogisticsWW only because of that huh? get lost kid
It's 2024 and I still come back to watch this incredible set. One of the best matches ever IMHO. It was so tense, and M2K did insanely well until the end. They both are legends of this game. I also liked the commentators, they were fun as hell.
Same dude. This is a classic.
4:37 Bomb
9:50 Mr. Saturn
11:02 Stitch
15:36 Stitch (3rd turnip)
15:42 Bomb
16:36 Stitch
20:55 Stitch
26:49 Stitch
27:44 Mr. Saturn
39:03 Stitch
That was it, no special pull on last game, honestly I felt there where more when I saw it live.
Turnips count?
What do you mean?
I dunno what you mean by "felt there were more." Six stitches, two bombs, and two Mr. Saturns is plenty lol. The commentators only thought there were four stitches (since they missed two of them) and they were already talking about how absurd Armada's RNG was this set.
Remember, each of those only has a 1/256 chance of spawning, which means that on average, you would have to pull over 2500 turnips to get those kinds of results.
@@SpeedBoostTorchic oh yeah, I know they were a lot of stitches and special pulls, but since I knew commentators had missed some of them, I felt like they were more than the number I actually counted.
@@SpeedBoostTorchic stitch does not have a 1/256 chance of being pulled, it has a 1/58 chance of being pulled. you are fake news
This set had everything.
Mango commentary, back and forth hype exchanges between m2k and armada.
The only thing that would make it even better is if M2K actually won
zabimaru1000 that last one is subjective. But I agree lol. Marth Main stuff :p
zabimaru1000 Hold that L lol -Armada fan
Regardless of who you were rooting for, that sd was a lame way to end the set. I would've been happy with either victory if it was last stock. So hype.
Armada is soooooo sick tho
AGREED. Marth mains unite.
Mang0 a great Mario Kart player and now a great Melee comentator, this crazy world
Armada-M2K is now my favorite top player matchup.
RIP
Short-lived
alright back to Mango vs Leffen now LOL
@@ImpossibleCarl69 mang0 zain summit 11?
@@natecallon9755 was definitely the best set of melee of all time but their sets still aren't as consistently great as Mango vs Leffen imo. even yesterday's summit set was fire AF with the reverse 3-0 from mang
One of the best grand finals ever. Watching it live was so hype.
Master Productions Lie to me
Lets admire the string by Armada at 51:33
i swear to god if i ever hear another random say melee is just fox vs fox grand finals
Hasn't been in years, armada 2016? 2017 hbox 2018 either 1
It is lol
MysteriousAndAwesomeAndAmazingAndAlmightyAegislashAndSophisticatedAndProfessorChandeluristNinja b8?
Melee is just fox vs fox
Lucky was only fox in top 8, m2k armada only vs hbox
One of the best sets of the year.
M2K and Armada putting on an absolute clinic
Oblivion CLINIC.
Armada vs M2K is by far the best and the most hype match up in melee history. Every time they meet up in the bracket expect some good melee.
Did anyone else notice the Melee and Smash 4 grand finals where the same characters?
Woah damn you right
and the evo grand finals both had dittos of the best characters in the games
Psycik Turt Don't you dare compare Leffen vs Armada with that abomination of Smash 4 GF.
Just kidding, you are right
24:30 "thats a lota damage"
Also both of the Marths were echofox players
I heard M2K and Armada started professional Melee in 2005 in the same month...really poetic how it ends with them...
Just might be the last person to ever take a tournament set off of Armada in Melee.
WOOOOW! INCREDIBLEEE!
Potentially the best sets of the entire year
definitively
Zain vs wizzy
@@SacredLiquid if ur talking about spaghetti
A great melee set isn't complete without some spaghetti.
Of all time. I don't think that's a stretch.
Super Smash Con just set confetti as the new standard for grand finals celebration
M2K was sick, the best he's played this year.
Emm Bee Sea he destroyed armada earlier in the year in a grand finals with tougher competition. This was probably the greatest set, but he played his peak at smash summit. Kind of reminded me of Leffen at Evo.
@@thecrazies4587 I thought smash summit was because he got a lucky bracket. I think M2K even said so himself. Although M2K would be the first person to down play his own win.
@@rakkatytam there was nothing 'lucky' about his bracket at summit. yes, he avoided plup and hbox who were two people who had challenged him but with the amount of marth he was using i'm sure he would've decided that it was a better pick against plup plus he had all the puff training from mango and 2saint. not only that but armada was once his greatest demon and leffen had recently 3-0'd him at genesis.
@@rakkatytam Beating Armada twice and Leffen is definitely not easy.
M2K played out of his mind. He should be so proud of himself
Yeah a shame he didn’t win. Probably would have been his greatest win.
This set os truly the end of an era. 2018 is the true TRUE end of the era of gods.
2019 is the beginning of the new era of Melee
54 is a lot of minutes
Idk man to me this is one of the top 5 sets Ever... Thank you Mew2king, thank you Armada. Historic shit right here.
il100374 yea and history repeats itself unfortunately
I agree man like what more could you ask for in a set
MELEE WILL NEVER DIE!!!
Oof
If M2K wouldve won in that last game this would've been one of the most legendary sets. Its already best grand finals of 2018, but man if M2K won it wouldve just pushed it that much higher in the melee record books. Such an amazing set.
Brian Ortega I still like Evo 2018 more tbh
i agree with brian, specially cuz the two players were playing hot so it brings more hype , and EVO was pretty one sided and brings less excitement. imo
Brian Ortega How would him winning have made it any better? Result was as desired.
Angelic Izzy Cuz armada wins everything and upsets are hype
Brian Ortega It's one of the most "legendary" regardless. Smfh.
What a set to be Armada's final ever melee singles set, seriously.... he'll be super missed
I’m so happy I was able to be there for this live. The fact that when m2k takes set one I can see myself pop off with the rest of the crowd in one of the best melee sets of all time is amazing
This is the best melee set of all time, amazing play commentary SUPERHYPE omg
Dude, Armada and M2K always put on a good show. Damn.
mang0 should just be a commentator forever.
Sober Mango commentary >> Drunk Mango commentary
Mango has some really admiring things to say about m2k and armada
Mew2King became Mew2Emperor, this man was on FIRE
Rens yet he still lost.
Rekt Which I don’t mind, since Armada is my favorite player
52:52 Mang0: "Where the f**k was my confetti last year?"
Oh, you'll get it...6 years later...
First time attending a major, was a hell of an experience. Will definitely try to go to more the following year and without a doubt will be attending SSC 2019 as well!
Man the end was so heartbreaking, M2k played so well! Ggs to both, what a Grand Final!
Melee is sick
Coming back to watch the #1 set of all time, what a picture perfect end to Armada's career
Lets be honest. This was tbe end of m2k's melee career as well. The last time he truly practiced
Michael Rubino this comment didnt age well
@@xertifiedthicc how so
ahmost 22 m2k’s melee career is certainly not dead tho
Here’s me 2 years later still coming back to watch this. M2K popping off after game 7 is the hypest shit I’ve ever seen
seems like m2k is putting a lil more mang0 into his playstyle. maybe its the long-con mixup of people expecting m2k to play "optimally" for years and now hes just throwing out some crazy stuff and its catching people off-guard. I love seeing his confidence in his marth recently and how much he's been enjoying himself in tournament
I agree
Is this the longest grand finals melee's ever had? Almost an hour long lmao, best set of all time
Thanks for everything Armada
What even is this set...These gods are evolving and it's scary and exciting at the same time. Best Grand finals of the year by a mile. I could feel how hungry both were for that victory.
best grand finals of the decade tbh... this set literally had it all.
32:57 Best part of this set.
Agreed. My pipi was hard during that part.
That M2K pop-off was funny as hell
I think this is the greatest set of Melee ever played.
set of the decade
Smeargle set of the 3RD millenium
Lil RacoonVEVO 1 Set of Anno Domini
Scar vs Fendy
Mew2King has reaffirmed his status as a GOD.
Lucky Hamburger even though he lost
Yep. I say this because he didn't drop stupid sets to much worse players, and only lost to gods (plus that 3-0 on HBox.) Even if he lost, he showed that he can still place and win tournaments.
*Mew2God
He did that at Summit
Mango is so washed up that he can only make it to grand finals by being a commentator.
You are the most dedicated troll in the Melee community, I fucking love it
Hungryb0ss Savage lmao 🤷
This is Mango's alternate account. You stop teasing me or I'll...I'LL ... I'LL QUIT!!!!
You're so washed up you only have relevancy in a comment on a youtube vid.
Lmaooo
One of, if not THE best set of modern Melee
I’m going to show up this set to my children’s children....
Me too
Why do I always find myself watching melee at 4am literally every time
Mango commentary instantly makes a set better
One of the greatest sets of all time
imo one of the greatest sets ever, was just an absolute JOY to watch
The guy repeating words other people say that start with 'S' but with a 'Sh' sound is what really pulls the whole thing together. Can't do without that.
One of the finest sets ever, almost shed a tear.
My voice was gone after watching this live in the crowd.
I remember in set 1 game 2, the whole crowd was yelling at M2K to up-throw armada after he was at 200%. I kind of thought most of the crowd would know after all these years that up+throw isn't going to kill peach until 250% on dreamland. So that was a pretty funny moment to be a part of.
Hilarious
I KNOW AND EVERY ONE WAS JUMPING IN THE AIR IT WAS AMAZING.
Genesis 5, Noods Noods Noods, Optic Arena, and now this. All incredible sets. I love 2018 Melee.
This set was so fucking good it doesn't matter who won the championship. Both Armada and M2K are the champions of this tournament for this Set ALONE.
I put this in my "Why I love Melee" playlist. That should say something.
Last set in Armada’s career... :(
Great way to conclude a wonderful career tho!
historic set. the end of a beautiful era in Melee.
This is one of the greatest sets in Melee history, up there with names like the Mango Leffen G4 set, PPMD Leffen Apex 2015, and EVO 2016 GF
Both Melee and Sm4sh finals came down to Peach vs Marth. Melee peach won, and Sm4sh Marth won. Perfectly balanced.
Weird that this was only 4 years ago, what a different era
I love this set so much
This is the best set of melee I’ve ever seen
Still a top 5 grand finals of all time imo
Set Count 1-1
Game Count 5-5
Seems Like an Amazing Showing of Mew2king's True Skill To Me.
Btw, best and most hype GFs I've ever seen (not even kidding).
Zsaber Maverick Genesis 1 had a big storyline, Apex 2015 too, Evo 2016 was the best/hype cause it was battle for 1st game 10 close games, but this is a top 3
***Spoiler Alert***
Allen Liang Respect your positions, but IMO:
Evo 2016: It was Puff. Hungrybox is crazy, but if it wasn't Puff, it would probably be better.
Apex 2015: Nice, but PP just faced a young and raw Leffen and Armada's Fox wasn't ready.
Genesis 1: Hype for sure, but again... Puff. This 10 games were back and fourth almost every STOCK if you don't count Mew2king start and Armada's finish.
Anyway, there's no GOAT set because there's always more than one. This one is sure Top 3, just like you said. My favorite (even though M2K didn't take it), is this one.
Zsaber Maverick I was just saying the hype was big around each 3, so not necessarily the best but definitely very hype
Zsaber Maverick and I forgot royal flush hype close set, the only one that somewhat comes close, mango himself said he would take the tourney if he got back there
This was probably the best set of melee I've watched since Apex 2015
One of the best, if not the best set ever.
Shit myself at 33:45. Why am I watching this at 4 in the morning, screaming like a banshee and waking everyone up
Me too😂😂
Damn that was a good grand finals
plz Armada and Mew2King please play like this forever.
It was nice seeing a melee grand finale be a Sword Fox and Turnip Fox for a change.
This set was nuts... amazing Melee
I created a playlist just to save this match, it was INCREDIBLE
"I think we're about to get ourselves a slobberknocker. I'm liking the two sets right now" - Mang0 with the hardest of reads
Mango: The boys are fightin'.
This is one of the best matches I've ever watched!
Crazy thinking about how much the Melee world has changed since Armada retired.
We've seen greater player diversity in top 8 and we saw a Pikachu and Falcon win their first majors.
A freaking Yoshi is in the top 10 in the world. Melee will never die.
i mean amsa was also top 10 for a few months b4 armada retired but yee
The Yoshi has now won a major as well
Best Grand finals, GG M2KING and Armada
M2K has momentum in game 1 losers-Reset and then Armada pulls the Stich 26:48... and gets stock 3.. and then gets a Mr. Saturn to take stock 4 ... a pivotal moment that swung the set in Armada's favor
dude i think this is the best match ever. gutted that m2k didnt win but still armada is the GOAT
RIP 2nd favorite god ppmd for not getting mentioned on list of marths that beat armada
this is a top 10 set in melee history
GOAT SET
I'm ready for Mango to retire and be a commentator.
If that happened we wouldn’t have had big house 9. And that woulda been a travesty. So yeah let’s keep him around
@@tooglianprimus15 and summit 11
@@natecallon9755 this is beautiful 🥲
@@tooglianprimus15 hahaha, I’m glad to be letting all the ppl who commented on this video years ago of the new potentially craziest set of all time
What a perfect set. So amazing!
I usually skip to the end to see who wins, and watch the highlights in another video, but MAN am I glad I watched the whole thing. These are the hypest sets I’ve ever seen
Great set, and super hype commentary.
Set of the year for sure!!
8:24 Chillin said m2k “lucked out hard” because he thought armada missed his nair at 8:21. But M2k didn’t luck out, he saved his first side b so that he would dodge the nair. Marth’s first aerial side b makes him pop up in the air, so he avoided the hit.
Top 5 set All-Time
Grand Finals set of the year
