@@roachdogg-ex bro what do you mean, if you follow melee at all you’d understand it had been forever since m2k had one a super major and this was massive for him cementing himself as a god of the game
axe is the greatest. he seems like such a cool guy. him and amsa seem like they play for fun and to make friends, which imo is the best part of esports.
Axe winning his first major was my favorite. It was the first time I teared up watching someone win a tournament. Those who have been following Melee all these years can relate.
13:10 fun fact about this popoff - Tea stomped on his glasses as they fell off. People taped them back together so he could still play 💀 I also broke my fire sunglasses at the same time while i was in the front row lmfao Eventually someone had the same prescription glasses that they then borrowed the rest of the event iirc
@@KuroShiiiiro idk. it makes it less badass when your jersey is a size small and your lovehandles are almost leaking out of it. I love playing smash but the community is guaranteed cringe im ngl.
@@odstagent1070 i have been pointing out for a long time that his biggest weakness is the cross up crossup, where you cross him up constantly until the one time you dont, which is all that is required to beat fox. I now see the secret anti double cross up technique that goes beyond foxes normal ability
When hbox finally beat armada after all that time his reaction speaks volumes. Armada had to fist bump and hbox didn't rub it in. Great moment in smash history
8:10 forever one of my favorite pop offs of all time bro. ESAM defeating his demon in the hugest tournament at the time, releasing all his energy in celebration and then just staring at the crowd, the camera work goes stupid hard
@@LexLoTUStheGawd i think its called l'odyssee. It was a french tournament. Just search for it plus tea vs cosmos and you'll find it. (Its the winner semis, not grands one)
Esam's popoff at the end of Glitch 7 (both winners finals and grands) and Glitch Konami Code (grands) both are extremely notable. Two where Esam goes absolutely crazy, screaming his lungs out, and one where he simply just puts his arms out as if gesturing "Bow down to your new king!" Unfortunately, that ended up being a weaker season for Esam
I would have added: Ultimate: - Riddles vs Dabuz at Super Smash Con 2019 - Anathema vs Zomba at Rise 'N Grind - T vs Dabuz at 2GG: Kongo Saga - Puppeh vs ZD at Glitch 8 - Missingno Melee: - aMSa vs Mang0 at The Big House 10 - Axe vs Silent Wolf at EVO 2014 - HugS vs aMSa at GENESIS 5 - HungryBox vs PPMD at The Big House 3 - Mew2King vs HungryBox at The Big House 3 - Hax vs Leffen at Apex 2013 Smash 4: - Seagull Joe vs ZeRo at The Big House 5 - DarkShad vs ZeRo at GameTyrant Expo 2017 - FOW vs RAIN at EVO 2015 - FOW vs Wizzrobe at PAX Arena - K9sbruce vs MVD at Pound 2016 - Poyo vs Seagull Joe at S@X 108
n0ne vs M2K at GOML was my favorite not cause of n0nes pop off but the stipulation that a falcon beating m2ks sheik in years was so hype and everyone in the crowd filled up the stage
5:55 11:11 these are my 2 favorite popoffs in melee history. no theatrics or jumping around, just a release of raw frustrated energy after defeating the most annoying character in the game.
I miss Armada's pop-offs. He was always so stone-faced until those moments where he got a win that he *REALLY* wanted and then the dude would fucking explode.
Bro, I’m mostly an ult fan, I watch melee if I’m bored and stuff, and it’s entertaining, but there’s a reason there’s a significant imbalance in ultimate va melee in this video, the history, drive and lore that is generated by having people perfect a craft for over a decade is pretty untouchable. I think Ult can get there, but we just need to not have our game replaced with a new one in like a year.
Couldn’t watch the video after the first 3 seconds because I went on mission to remember what Wii channel that music came from. I’m finally back to watch the video.
19:03 you can actually see, when M2K felt his first emotion
Zain picking up juans controller cause he's not sure what to do while he leaves the room is priceless
Lol that pop off was hilarious 😆
it’s a classic. He picked it up like Juan is his best friend lol
casually calling smash god Hbox jaun lol
@@Sandux930 that's both of their first names, also Zain...
@@Sandux930 it’s not weird at all. He’s been a community staple for over a decade homie
M2K's Face of legitment confusion is one of the genuinely best reactions to winnig a tournament/summit ever.
It's so cringe
@@roachdogg-ex bro what do you mean, if you follow melee at all you’d understand it had been forever since m2k had one a super major and this was massive for him cementing himself as a god of the game
@@roachdogg-ex cry harder
@@roachdogg-ex be nice to king2king
Highly doubt he didn’t know. It’s to get attention and be funny.
tweek stomping so hard the entire camera setup shakes is hype not gonna lie
And then the next clip he stomps harder but gets no shake
Shit was epic
THE ABRUPT CUT TO HBOX SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS AT 7:51 KILLED ME
Did he pass out?
@@IronMoose95 nah, just dead on the floor for a bit
@@IronMoose95 He popped off so hard he fainted and fell over yes
@@IronMoose95 Vasovagal syncope
8:41 was pretty good too. The look on poor Plub's face. XD
axe just watching armada pop off, mildly shocked but not shocked enough to stop him from enjoying his pizza. max respect, axe. max respect.
legit looks like groot from gotg
axe is the greatest. he seems like such a cool guy. him and amsa seem like they play for fun and to make friends, which imo is the best part of esports.
@@kittyratrawr and they are still CRACKED at the game. Absolute legends
@@boxcart4533 oh yeah, for sure. even tho axe hasn't really been able to keep up with the top players as well as amsa has, he's still the goat.
@@kittyratrawrI'm sure 2024 would be his comeback, idk
9:15 "Sorry, didn't mean to punch a kid" Tweeted by S2j
13:45 dude's was breakdancing
19:30 m2king looks like the confused uncle who doesn't know what's happening but is just happy to be there😂
Dad with his nerd kids at comic con energy
Axe winning his first major was my favorite. It was the first time I teared up watching someone win a tournament. Those who have been following Melee all these years can relate.
Ngl I started to cry.
I was so happy for Axe. He’s been in the scene for so long and he’s such a positive influence
13:30 "That's a hitbox off that pop off don't get close to that" has me crying 😂
13:40 "That's a hitbox on that pop off don't get too close to that"
That's rather all five of his aerials, or his rapid jab
It came out frame 8 too. Wicked
13:10 fun fact about this popoff - Tea stomped on his glasses as they fell off. People taped them back together so he could still play 💀
I also broke my fire sunglasses at the same time while i was in the front row lmfao
Eventually someone had the same prescription glasses that they then borrowed the rest of the event iirc
the esam popoff in civil war is always my favorite, the way the camera pans makes it almost cinematic
the crowd cheering & esam w the akuma esque pose is peak cinema
Nigga go boxing ring
you cant beat "YESSS FUCKKING FUCK................ fuuuck!"
@@KuroShiiiiro idk. it makes it less badass when your jersey is a size small and your lovehandles are almost leaking out of it. I love playing smash but the community is guaranteed cringe im ngl.
@dolphdangles1322 lmfao i see no lie
15:36 Light's real life nair is sorta op
frame 1?? he teleported out of his chair into a kicking form lmfao
Bro the nair isn't even that good, I could easily get a grab off and 0-Death him
@@novaalbert9380Idk man, that was a crossup nair, its too late to turn around and grab him

The sexiest kick
2:06 that is one of the most wholesome moments i have ever seen.
When hbox finally beat armada after all that time his reaction speaks volumes. Armada had to fist bump and hbox didn't rub it in. Great moment in smash history
Dude that champion victory is sooo good. HBox my favorite fs
11:30 LOL AXE IS SO BEWILDERED
Plup being genuinely spooked by hbox popoff was amazing
wizzy is the only person i know that looks like they lose by using rage as an outlet for winning
sorry falcon players*
Wizzrobe is also still the only person who's died at a Melee tournament. Rip wizzy.
The "Fucking Fuck! -What?" never fails to make laugh 😭😭😭
9:42 is my favorite. just such an emotional moment for hbox
and the fact that he came from losers rosoter adds a lot of emotion to it
6:55 is iconic to melee😭
5:15 saying "It's over" when it's very much not in fact over will always be funny to me lol
8:20 big respect moment.. man's switched hands to shake after winning
8:10 forever one of my favorite pop offs of all time bro. ESAM defeating his demon in the hugest tournament at the time, releasing all his energy in celebration and then just staring at the crowd, the camera work goes stupid hard
now if only he'd go boxing ring
Esam buff
9:41 has 7 popoffs in 1
My favorite pop-off has to be Mew2King in disbelief that he had just won Smash summit. So freaking Good
Kola stomp at Double Down was amazing
The Cosmos Pop off plus the environment just makes it so damn epic
Facts what tournament was that cuz that's the hardest venue I've ever seen in smash
@@LexLoTUStheGawd i think its called l'odyssee. It was a french tournament. Just search for it plus tea vs cosmos and you'll find it. (Its the winner semis, not grands one)
yeah, that is an awesome tournament venue
I absolutely love it when hb pops off says a few words then leaves the room 😂
Riddles actually just inherited HBox's popoffs when got on Liquid
Maybe it's part of the contract?
The fact that Hbox isn't the only person to have fainted after winning a set is crazy to me
Esam's popoff at the end of Glitch 7 (both winners finals and grands) and Glitch Konami Code (grands) both are extremely notable. Two where Esam goes absolutely crazy, screaming his lungs out, and one where he simply just puts his arms out as if gesturing "Bow down to your new king!" Unfortunately, that ended up being a weaker season for Esam
God i miss esam
Armada was always so chill in losing
9:50 i felt that HBox pop-off… Such a day to remember

Lmfao the riddles ssc pop off is legendary
Riddles vs Light at Big House 10 is my favorite
I was really shocked not to see Axe vs silentwolf or hbox vs PP
Something about benSW stealing a second of the spotlight at EVO GFs will always be hilarious
Axe pop off is humble yet powerful
i love it when axe pops off fr
1:43 this is the best pop off i do not care
Father Yoshi vs. Taco was better tbh
@Crunch Productions zamn did I pop off for that thats crazy
n0ne vs M2K at GOML was my favorite not cause of n0nes pop off but the stipulation that a falcon beating m2ks sheik in years was so hype and everyone in the crowd filled up the stage
Armada Android v Leffen Ice might be my favorite pop off, the two v 1 comebacks always get emotions running high
I thought it was missing the Wizzrobe roar, Wizzrobe controller spinning, and Hbox toe break
the wizzy roar is in there
wizzy roar is the first one prolly happened before you watched it lmao
Hungry box sub notification playing while he faints is perfect 😂😂
7:52 this is how I became deaf
Irl rest
M2King is the best one. It's everyone's favorite and I love the kitchen footage in the background.
Cosmo pop off is straight bonkers 7:31
I always forget Wizzy is gonna faint until one second before he wins the set
Hbox pop-offs always remind me of Patrick screaming... off camera its even funnier.
0:07 wizzy did a fuckin “Pokémon stadium 2” Pokémon entrance animation
The cut to hbox mid scream was amazing.
The first pop off looked like a win screen animation
That Mew2king one is the funniest shit ever
bro is one of the gods and he somehow cant comprehend it lol
@@obsidiancrow450 he had gone a while without winning a supermajor, he had to remind everyone he was the goat
@@kittyratrawr Had to remind himself he was GOAT’d tbh
4:38 those the type of people that get to go into heaven
Kola and his Prayer Stomps will never get old
I love all the different down smashes the players have
Ohhhh Boy, we got another Hbox Popoff, possibly a contender for his best, which immediately puts it in Conversation lmao.
Man, that Armada popoff is on another level. You can truly tell how much he didn't want to let his brother down. Doubles is sick
Bro Ice is such a good guy for how he handled S2Js popoff lol
Plup 8:40 had me cracked up haha
Esam popoff at civil war was legendary
MAN that Mango v Leffen at 17:29 was just sick! The laser!
the m2k no popoff popoff makes me cry evertim
"Wizzrobe has died" is peak smash
5:55
11:11
these are my 2 favorite popoffs in melee history. no theatrics or jumping around, just a release of raw frustrated energy after defeating the most annoying character in the game.
you need to use a different word than "Theatrics"
I generally believed that hungrybox popping off and fainting should have been the last one or the first one in the video ❤
the clip of axe winning made me so happy
why can I smell this video
I miss Armada's pop-offs. He was always so stone-faced until those moments where he got a win that he *REALLY* wanted and then the dude would fucking explode.
I'm glad you followed up leffen winning with leffen losing, i can only handle seeing him happy so much
7:52 Yo as soon as he passed out you can hear someone singing "I've fallen" in the background lol.
P.S glad he's ok.
When you’re high these are so mf funny I’ve watched the first one 4 times
That m2k popoff is always a tearjerker, I love him
I prefer my smash videos with 0 ultimate... but this was still a good vid thanks man
thx for ending with the best pop-off
VHS Footage of S2J almost commiting a chair murder
Love the Technicals cameo!
Sfat dancing, wizzy beating mang, mango dancing on axe
9:32 whoever made that sound should be a game character
Wizzrobe has died.
The M2K Stunlock will never not be a lolm2k moment.
Amazing video, only thing you forgot is aMSa's big house popoff
Let's keep Smash alive for as long as possible. I don't care which one, just ALL of them
Bro, I’m mostly an ult fan, I watch melee if I’m bored and stuff, and it’s entertaining, but there’s a reason there’s a significant imbalance in ultimate va melee in this video, the history, drive and lore that is generated by having people perfect a craft for over a decade is pretty untouchable. I think Ult can get there, but we just need to not have our game replaced with a new one in like a year.
We do have Kola tho
You have to watch the pop off of gackt in l’odyssée it is the best all time imo
Axe and Mew2King silent pop off are my favourite and most wholesome pop off ever
The answer is the hbox chair, when we had the camera showing infinite screaming juans
Couldn’t watch the video after the first 3 seconds because I went on mission to remember what Wii channel that music came from. I’m finally back to watch the video.
I think we could add
-Dabuz with mr. banana in the stage
-Kola f l e x i n g
And, it's not a pop-off but Mkleo laughing after he beats Riddles
I feel like if you included pop offs from l’odysee, Gackt vs Asimo had an insane pop off at the end
These are awesome, the pressure these guys are playing under is intense
m2k, axe's, and hbox's armada pop offs are the 3 best ones for entirely different reasons
Wiz has gotta be my favorite player next to M2K
7:52 this moment alone is so good
Axe's pop off was so hard
The reactions from mang and zain after summit 11 grands are so raw i love it
Bro really popped off against a pocket rob
6:43 monke slap
What a great video! Hoping for a part 2
Light got those grown man popoffs.
Honorable mention: Quidd winning Let’s Make Big Moves
The technicals edit out is still so funny to me.
