"I wanted to prove that fox is not this crazy character that you need to be the smartest person walking on earth to play" says the smartest smash player in the world
Armada: I, the smartest melee player on Earth, picked up Fox to prove that you don't need to be the smartest player on Earth to play him. jk, I get what he's saying, out of context though it sounds funny
armada if I could get some advice. I main peach, and today I was practicing my FC Aerials. I tried holding my controller different with my thumb over the C stick, my index finger over the X, Y, and A buttons, my middle finger over Z, and my ring finger over R. My old hand position was the thumb over all the front buttons, and my index finger over the Z and R. This new way allows for way faster FCs instantly, and movement speed as well. But it's hard for me to have precise control over pretty much everything else. Should I put in the time to get used to this new hand position? Or should I just stick to the old way and grind out being faster with my original hand position. What way is better in the long run?
Every time I hear something from Armada about melee and how it works, it reminds me of ZeRo and how he can break down Sm4sh. I guess that's why they're both the best, they have such a unique view on the game and understand it. Mad kudos!
Kyo Ani Why? #1 player in Melee and #1 player in Smash 4. Both players had long streaks of dominance. Zero even more so than Armada. Both players dominated PM with Pit. They are friends and Zero is the most or 2nd most accomplished smasher overall.
Good video but I(and I think most the people here) would like to understand why the choice of fox against these 3 people- hungrybox is understandable but why leffen's fox and not mango's or why ppmd's marth and not m2k. Ok, leffen and ppmd have a much better matchup vs floaties(peach) but why? And how does your fox remedy these problems.
John Livingston Leffen is probably the best in the world when it comes to the fox peach matchup. Just before Armada picked up fox, Leffen was consistently beating Armada's peach in tournament in Europe. PP is a similar situation. PP happens to be incredibly good at the marth peach matchup.
Do you think the reason why people think fox vs Marth is a losing mu is because maybe like Samus(another weird mu) a lot of fox mains just have awful neutral/neutral game due to how many tools the character has in punish game/edgeguarding etc?
Does anyone know what resolution he has his game in on dolphin cuz his game looks different to mine like the character lims are different mines just in the default for fm5
Your picking up Fox makes a lot of sense, but PLEASE never stop playing Peach! You're the only player that uses Peach at the highest level and you're the reason I play Peach in Melee!
"I, the best player in the world and with the strongest grasp of how to play this game, wanted to show people that fox was a character that anyone could pick up and play and that he didn't require absurd intelligence, therefore I demolished them all with my superior intelligence."
ezzerby Leffen is better vs his Peach than Mango is. -Peach vs Fox is a bad MU, so Armada opts for Fox vs Fox as Leffen is good at that MU. Armada has been more consistent vs Leffen since he switched to Fox. -Armada's Fox doesn't do well vs Mango. Armada had lost the most recent Fox dittos vs him and his Falco annihilates Armada's Fox. Armada can only beat Mango with Peach. If he wanted to, he could get better at the MU with Fox but right now Peach works for him.
i personnaly believe that marth wins against fox, so it would make sense to use peach against him. But i also think that since PP is good a the floatie matchups with his marth, armada has a easier time when he uses fox against him
TheBeggies95 pp also sucks vs fox lol. his worst mu is fox so makes sense to go fox vs him in general. m2k is great at the peach mu but m2ks best mu by far especially when he's feeling it is fox. Also peach loses to Marth way worse then fox does even if he did lose (he doesn't imo) LOL.
Armada you have no idea how much respect I have for you because of how good you are and everything you have done for the game, but I don't want to listen to you call fox a super easy character until you use him for an entire tournament with the majority of the top 20 and win. I do understand that peach is a lot harder and people don't do that well with peach because she is a very hard character to play, but you also have to take into consideration that fox is a better character than her which is why you see more people doing well with fox than peach. I'm not trying to sound like a know it all, and think I know more about this than you because that is clearly not the case; I just want to defend my point of view and want to hear what you have to say about it.
"I wanted to prove that fox is not this crazy character that you need to be the smartest person walking on earth to play" says the smartest smash player in the world
There is something to be said about HBox's play demanding all top players to pick up fox.
Solaman Huq PPMD Kreygasm
aged like milk
Should've picked up Roy for the Puff matchup
Charged B always kill,It's obviously a 90-10 matchup.
Kappa
dan altamirano reverse up b kills at zero, I think it might be 100-0 unwinnable for puff.
You are my most favorite guy in SSBM tournaments, I wish I could play like you
We all wish we could play like him.
I wish I was half as good as him.
Robin Kim not me
Tim Cullens Nobody asked.
Or even play with him one time (to get JV5)
Armada: I, the smartest melee player on Earth, picked up Fox to prove that you don't need to be the smartest player on Earth to play him.
jk, I get what he's saying, out of context though it sounds funny
"Jung Link"
4 mins and 55 seconds of saying Hungrybox Kappa
Armada roasting everyone over here
y do u always beat up falcon in your videos?
easiest relevant character to combo in the game by far
He still has nightmares of that game 5 with S2J
*game 3. Game 4&5 was rape.
Dániel Madaras can't believe i just read that in 2017 lol
He's a fastfaller who is waveshineable.
I already knew what he was gonna say before I even read the full title
The problem is, Armada is so good that he can make a character with relatively mediocre tools shine. Armada is the only broken character in Melee.
Peach has the most insane drama data, her punish game is other worldly.
armada if I could get some advice. I main peach, and today I was practicing my FC Aerials. I tried holding my controller different with my thumb over the C stick, my index finger over the X, Y, and A buttons, my middle finger over Z, and my ring finger over R.

Or should I just stick to the old way and grind out being faster with my original hand position. What way is better in the long run?
Tooglian Primus yo man I would suggest asking Armada on twitter I see him respond to people on twitter more than people on UA-cam👍
David Debussy thanks dude, but I don't even have a Twitter account. Maybe I'll make one just to ask lol. Do you main peach?
Great video, you're easily my favorite fox player to watch and study. Cool to hear the history behind your choice of picking up the char
If you end up teaming with axe you guys should go double YL for a game or two :)
Eagleye42 00 i would watch that
Hey by Stephen Walking is the song that plays for the end card of the video.
That last statement is exactly why I look up to Armada
Ylink doubles with axe at summit!
i picked fox cause i used to be falco but wanted the speed
if armada optimizes his fox as well as he knows peach it will be scary hes already the best
I keep hearing jungling for young link lol
Now Armada, falco mains need to see that he is indeed the 2nd best character in the game. Prove everyone wrong saying falco is dead
Every time I hear something from Armada about melee and how it works, it reminds me of ZeRo and how he can break down Sm4sh. I guess that's why they're both the best, they have such a unique view on the game and understand it. Mad kudos!
Thank you.
Kyo Ani Why? #1 player in Melee and #1 player in Smash 4. Both players had long streaks of dominance. Zero even more so than Armada. Both players dominated PM with Pit. They are friends and Zero is the most or 2nd most accomplished smasher overall.
Kyo Ani shut the fuck up
Why I picked up fox: Fox is the best character in the game.
very interesting
Armadas´s like count is over 9000 words
MY MANZ IS FED UP, LETS GO ARMADA
Mad respect for Armada
Good video but I(and I think most the people here) would like to understand why the choice of fox against these 3 people- hungrybox is understandable but why leffen's fox and not mango's or why ppmd's marth and not m2k. Ok, leffen and ppmd have a much better matchup vs floaties(peach) but why? And how does your fox remedy these problems.
Can make a future video/videos about this =)
That would be amazing! Can't wait to watch that one :D
John Livingston Leffen is probably the best in the world when it comes to the fox peach matchup. Just before Armada picked up fox, Leffen was consistently beating Armada's peach in tournament in Europe. PP is a similar situation. PP happens to be incredibly good at the marth peach matchup.
Title should be "Armada confirms fox marth is NOT 40-60"
Bird with tEEth ft leffen in twitch chat
It would be interesting if you would do a video on fox marth matchup
TheBeggies95 he went on a 10 minute rant on stream that theirs logically no way fox loses to marth.
Damn, do you have a link?
KDJ invented shinespiking.
I mean, KDJ Invented being good.
I'd love so see Leffen n Armada team, looks unstoppable
"I picked up Fox because of H Box, Peepee, and Leffen." -Armada
Hey Armada. Do you think peach beats Marth. I find it really frustrating to play peach cant ever kill her. Especially because i have pal down air lol
I agree that Fox beats Marth. I don't main either character, so I don't feel I'm too biased.
Do you think the reason why people think fox vs Marth is a losing mu is because maybe like Samus(another weird mu) a lot of fox mains just have awful neutral/neutral game due to how many tools the character has in punish game/edgeguarding etc?
didn't wobbles take sets off of 4 gods at evo? or was it only 3
4:19
Roasted
My headphones just 🅱️roke
"you dont have to be the smartest person to play fox" - Well armada, you being good with fox doesn't really prove the point, like at all.
Talk to 'em
Would you ever ditto foxes with mango?
So this means Armada will pick up Falco to prove to people that Falco is still the second best character.
Armada, pick up Mario as a secondary and prove to people he has untapped potential!
Lupinthe64th He already has a Mario. It's actually better than his Luigi, but he did play him 2 years prior.
But he doesn't practice Mario.
I want to see Armada play Mario in Top 3 and show everyone he can be threatening, like he destroyed HB with YL
Does anyone know what resolution he has his game in on dolphin cuz his game looks different to mine like the character lims are different mines just in the default for fm5
bang bang - shots
Your picking up Fox makes a lot of sense, but PLEASE never stop playing Peach! You're the only player that uses Peach at the highest level and you're the reason I play Peach in Melee!
"he goes even in the ditto"
lol wut? dont all characters go even in the ditto?
How come your not teaming up with M2K??? No 4peat :(
"I, the best player in the world and with the strongest grasp of how to play this game, wanted to show people that fox was a character that anyone could pick up and play and that he didn't require absurd intelligence, therefore I demolished them all with my superior intelligence."
You should have picked up Falcon :p
What point would it prove?
Treatz Falcon is much better than people think but Falcon mains just underperform.
That's it?
pull out young link at evo grand finals game 5 ;)
Why you picked fox against PP's Marth? Fox loses the match up... And that's ok
Sergio Calderón González he said he believes fox wins
You're too deep in the video meta topkek
And a bad one at that.
My dad beats me and that's ok
BrickNGames that ain't ok
i wish yayson would play jung link
And the Smash God with the wise words again :)
GOAT
Still got that peach love. Keep up the vids man you're amazing.
Are you not confident in your peach against Leffen? Or is it because you just do better in the matchup with fox?
leffen is very good at the peach match up.
leffen is incredibly hard to beat with peach
Leffen studied the Armada's Peach matchup.
Leffen is the author of "How to destroy peach" book series
When armada gave up on his peach vs mango in genesis and picked fox and got his ass handed to him, i knee hed comeback w a godfox
Puff.
Question: How come you play Fox against Leffen, but Peach against Mango, when they're both Fox players?
ezzerby because mangos Falco absolutely demolishes his fox. Armada peach vs mango fox is such a classic and great set to watch most of the time
ezzerby Leffen is better vs his Peach than Mango is.
-Peach vs Fox is a bad MU, so Armada opts for Fox vs Fox as Leffen is good at that MU. Armada has been more consistent vs Leffen since he switched to Fox.
-Armada's Fox doesn't do well vs Mango. Armada had lost the most recent Fox dittos vs him and his Falco annihilates Armada's Fox. Armada can only beat Mango with Peach. If he wanted to, he could get better at the MU with Fox but right now Peach works for him.
Damn, savage.
this is fucking saucy
Does anyone know if he's playing on an emulator? I ask because I want to know if I can run things like 20XX on Dolphin.
Yaeven I do and it works fine
Christopher Berumen Thanks.
My guesses before watching this video:
1) Fox is a really good character.
2) Fox fucks up Puff.
Welp, I was right.
He didn't mention Puff one time and Fox is a really good character? That goes without saying. Such a stupid comment.
Dude, he talked about how he picked up Fox mostly to beat HBox, who has always mained Puff. Cool it with the psuedo-logic.
mixnflix101 actually what the fuck do you mean he didn't talk about puff. Did we watch the same video?
Some Kind of Nice "I picked up Fox to beat HBox, PP's Marth, and Leffen's Fox"
So in essence Armada picked up Fox to beat a career Puff
Where is the time counter? he is not playing stock mode, so where is?
M Henrique You can choose Time mode and have unlimited time. It's great for practice
1 Hbox
2 Hbox
3 Jigg
4 Hbox
5 Hbox
tell em
Phantom shine at 0:51
Timestamp is a second too late. You should edit it
NetConsole done
fuckin tell em adam
If Fox was really that hard to play, Melee's community wouldn't be like 45% Fox players.
cause hbox
weaks love to complain, made them know, GJ armada
yung leank tho?
so you picked up the fox.
let me guess what happens next...
Grand Canyon?
"top tier"
You should pick up puff.....
But in reality pick up Kirby
Should've picked Puff tbh
How come you believe you cannot beat HBox with Peach? Or why do you think it's too hard to beat HBox with Peach?
incronaut the Puff mu sucks for peach
Why not Falco instead of Fox?
Andrew Thomas Fox is better at every MU. He's also had a fox for a longer time than he became prevalent w/ him.
Jungling. Junglink. jyunglonk
Nice vid
Why not my boi Ness?
bad
You play Fox? Who knew.
also, which one of you dweebs are going to write "Jung Link"
0:51 Phantom? lmao wut
Johns
If you think Fox beats Marth, then how come you don't ordinarily play Fox vs. Mew2King? Thank you. :)
NEET Because Mew2king is way better against fox
i personnaly believe that marth wins against fox, so it would make sense to use peach against him.
But i also think that since PP is good a the floatie matchups with his marth, armada has a easier time when he uses fox against him
TheBeggies95 pp also sucks vs fox lol. his worst mu is fox so makes sense to go fox vs him in general. m2k is great at the peach mu but m2ks best mu by far especially when he's feeling it is fox.
Also peach loses to Marth way worse then fox does even if he did lose (he doesn't imo) LOL.
PP's Marth beats Armada's Peach consistently. Mew2King's marth doesn't. Why use fox if his peach is beating mew2king's marth?
He also said that it was against PPs marth
M2K plays peach vs ICs
The truth
Fox beats Fox fight me
dont watch the video he picked fox because hes the best and he wants to win
Armada you have no idea how much respect I have for you because of how good you are and everything you have done for the game, but I don't want to listen to you call fox a super easy character until you use him for an entire tournament with the majority of the top 20 and win. I do understand that peach is a lot harder and people don't do that well with peach because she is a very hard character to play, but you also have to take into consideration that fox is a better character than her which is why you see more people doing well with fox than peach. I'm not trying to sound like a know it all, and think I know more about this than you because that is clearly not the case; I just want to defend my point of view and want to hear what you have to say about it.
d a v e .
in summary, hbox and he get triggered
Fox is bad , mew2king is king
60-40
every fox main acts like their character is hard, he wins every single mu, wanna know who has a hard time with their character? ask a low tier main
leffen is triggered
Tl;dr spite and matchups
Prove a point with captan
I mean you are the smartest player to ever play Fox, considering you're the smartest player in the world haha
