Imagine hating a guy who works his ass off to become the best player at a game, then trying to invalidate him for playing "campy" when armada is loved by everyone (including me) when he plays just as defensively. The only reason puff is top tier is because Hbox is fucking great at what he does, Fox was meta for the longest time, and he could still slap foxes cheeks. Let the man enjoy what he's doing because he's been on the grind for so long, and he deserves it. not to mention the man *has a damn character arc*
I’ve found a few older sets involving Isai on UA-cam. He never taunted just to say he had such a lead that the game’s over, but something about Wes must’ve really gotten under his skin because in their games (it got pretty tight sometimes) he always seemed to be looking for chances to taunt.
Grand Finals of Evo 2016 is one of the reasons I support HBox. You see the raw emotion in him when he wins a tournament, and when he finally won Evo after constantly being the runner-up, he showed it fully. I don't think I see any other players react as humanely as HBox
He used to be known for ledge camping people out, but he hasn’t done that in a few years now. He really is pretty exciting to watch in my opinion. I love almost all his sets as long as his opponent doesn’t give up. Not gonna lie I can usually fall asleep during most matchups but anything vs Puff really gets me going
You can’t complain about it being boring because even though his play style is the way it is the other characters are playing characters built to counter jiggly so he has to capitalize on jiggly’s strengths to bring the best results. It’s like only using a full tank of gas and not using only a half a tank to “entertain” or fuel the audience
Despite what some people say. I have mad respect for Hbox. He basically has a super human mental composure that can always get him out of those tight spots. Which is really needed because you have to be inside the brain of your opponent in order to win as puff.
Thanks for making this video during a time when Juan is feeling low. I think we forget since he’s number 1 that he’s a person too, and all the hate on him and his character seems to have finally hit him.
I've always been an hbox fan. I don't get all the hate he gets. Honestly all the fox mains should be getting the shit for maining the "best" character. Tired of seeing nothing but fox and crapton falcon.
Cracks me up how Hbox’s dominance has led to increasingly desperate attempts to invalidate his ability, the latest being “A-actually Fox isn’t that good! Puff is a better and easier character!” Uh-huh, right, that’s why roughly half of the top 100 players main Fox while only a handful use Puff. Just suck it up fam, Hbox is the clutch god, the player with maybe the strongest mental game in history. The only one who could even challenge that is Armada. That’s why he’s on top and consistently beats a character with a 60-40 winning matchup.
@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch got to disagree with you there. There are more foxes in general because fox is seen as more fun to play, but once you're in top 100, general character matchups play an undeniably massive role. Puff is slow and dies early af against a top 8 character list with characters that are the fastest in the game that hit like trucks. There are only 5 puffs in the top 100, and only 2 in the top 50 including hbox. Puff is not as hard to play from a technical perspective, but applying her strengths against a roster like that is a mountain of task. I guarantee that puff would be seen as mid-tier at highest and not competitively viable without hbox. He's not overhyped by any stretch of the imagination.
@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch I mean I've been maining puff since I was 10 because I didn't enjoy any other character as much. People have different opinions on who they have fun with. I also wouldn't say she is inherently easier otherwise why isn't there any other top puff players.
@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch sorry what?? the fox v puff matchup is most definitely in fox's favor. hbox is just so used to the matchup that he makes it look like puff wins v fox.
Right! I imagine he was looking at his friend and his friend is like pointing back to the chair next to Armada like “one more set!!!” And hbox runs back like that lol
@@drekthgrek5896 100%. The 2 hypest players fighting in the hypest matchup in the game. In the hypest set of the tournament (grand finals) on the biggest stage in smash which hasn't been matched before OR since (2.5K+ entrants), and not ONLY that but it goes to game FUCKING 10, the longest a grand finals can go, WITH GAME 5 BEING THE CLUTCHEST COMEBACK IN ALMOST ANY GRAND FINALS EVER. This will NEVER, EVER be topped
I'm honestly so proud of Hbox, the last clip of him finally overcoming Armada always warms my heart. I'm so happy that he was finally able to surpass his obstacles and become the best.
Totius Toti that’s so cute I never noticed that. He looks genuinely happy to play. I love seeing that, sure it’s a competitive game but they do it because they enjoy it. So seeing them enjoy it when the moment is tense makes me truly happy.
Uhhh mang0 put puff in top tier but ok. And plenty of puff mains have been coming up lately such as michael, jerry and 2saint. Puff is pretty fuckin good
Jason Potter yea, mango put puff in high tier in 2007 or some shit. Those three players are like 30-100 something places under hbox in rank. Are you really that salty?
Hbox definitely gets alot of shit from the scene (maybe even more than he deserves.) But in the future when the current gods are retired, or if everyone moved on to a new game, we will be looking back at videos like this and realize how incredible his gameplay was. He's a legend in the making.
I love hbox. Im pretty new to the scene and didnt understand why people disliked him so much, until looked at his past attitude and watched as he evolved over the years. He's my favorite melee player.
Kanye Rest always makes the best comebacks. In a spacies meta, to be able to survive and succeed without a spacies main is incredible. Good stuff to HBox.
@@CaprielleHarmony as someone who plays puff, there is so much wrong in this comment that it's not even worth dissecting please don't spread misinformation if you don't play this game at a semi-decent level
No when you add in the fact that these are humans playing the game and not computers with outcomes that will always be perfect. Puff is top 3 at worst, debatably better than falco. Her only losing mu is against fox and even that matchup has been skewed by the fact that a fox can't play perfectly 100 percent of the time. Falco is near non existent at the top level of play, the only player with an once of consistency with him is mango and he's the most inconsistent god. Falco has dropped off so hard that its crazy that people think hes still top 2 despite not winning anything since pp left. Marth is the only other character that has a chance to combat her but she can crouch under his grab and punish him with a rest, and a grab is what Marth needs in that mu cause it sets up for all his kills. Stop acting like puff is a weaker character when there are players like jerry, Michael, and 2saint making waves with her.
If you think about it, the top two players don’t even main spacies. Granted armada has a great Fox, both he and Hbox use floaty characters that have awesome recovery and amazing edgeguard options. They’re the best at their characters which make them the best in the world. Love them both so much
The meta isn't even CLOSE to being a spacies meta. In the top ten, there are two spacies mains. That's 2 out of 10. Right now the meta heavily favours floaties and FMTs. Puff is good in this meta.
I love watching Hbox play. I understand why some people think it’s boring, but just seeing spacies vs spacies all the time is even more boring. Hbox at least brings more variety to top level play.
I mean, not everyone can be mango/scar/bizzaro and play for the people. Boring as people may find it, you play games for entertainment. If you find it fun, knock yourself out. Most hate on hbox is from people that met him years before when he was a prick. Not saying he's great now but he definitely has humbled himself a bit. Listening to him on the couch with some other gods, I kinda feel bad cuz everyone just grinds on him. While people might not enjoy his playstyle, I don't think the hbox hate is justified.
If Hbox wasn’t there there would actually be less spacies in top 8s. Look at the top 10 right now, the only solo spacie players are Mango and Leffen, and even then each one is mainly known for either Fox or Falco.
I really don't get why there is so many people that hates Hbox. He is insanely good and he basically made a low tier character one of the most feared characters in all of smash melee
HBox is my favorite Smash player but damn do I respect Armada. Amazing player, true to his craft, and a totally respectful loser when it happens. If HBox doesn’t win, I pull for Armada.
I love how HBox always keeps going even when the crowd can be rooting against him, he's had to put up with some shit from the community but he always stands up for himself and comes back strong. Hungrybox is the best, man.
This is the most legendary thing I’ve ever seen, he is doing the impossible I can’t believe my eyes. I’m freaking out watching this in school right now.
People saying "Don't hate the Bayonetta players, hate the character" but go on to hate on HBox for no other reason than to be hypocritical. Come on, you people are better than this, but the HBox hate will probably clutch the win.
At SmasCon, SFAT lost to Jerry, one of the best players in MDVA - a region that has been on a huge comeup recently. He used to play Fox for years but switched to Puff to be less reliant on techskill while still maintaining a competitive edge because he started focusing more on DBFZ and couldn't put in the training with fox as a result. Everyone agrees that Puff requires less techskill, but at the same time has less tools in 1v1 and other Top Tiers. But I wouldn't exactly call Jerry "a guy who just picked up melee", it's kinda disrespectful towards him as a top player, but oh well.
Sneaky Pete If I'm not mistaken, he played Puff before Fox, then switched to Fox, then switched back to Puff. At least, I've seen Xanadu's where he had a pocket Puff. So he's definitely played Puff for awhile. Still, I agree that it's pretty telling that Puff is busted.
Why do people still believe fox is dominating this game? Fox has become so exploitable over the years that players legitimately pick floaties so they don't have to deal with the pressure of making mistakes. There's so many more puffs, Marths, peaches, and ics making waves then foxes now. He's still the best character but there isn't a majority of foxes in every top 8. If anything it's cause hbox makes top 8 and forces others to play fox.
@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch Yeah I mean if you irrationally hate him for no reason and just go on this video to spam your opinion literally nobody cares about for validation. Fuck off
A lot of top players and outside of top 8 use Fox, but how come only one uses Puff? Mad respect for the skills to go against everyone with one single character that nobody else uses.
When people say hbox is boring to watch, i always think that is...said from a position that hasnt self reflected. I mean i never liked watching any smash for a long time because i didnt get what they were doing. People say that the audience only watches melee for the fast 20xx plays, but honestly do you want people watching the game just cause its fast and flashy? Maybe. Money is money. But once i started watching it more, and understood what they were doing, it was more interesting to watch. Puff and hbox may initially seem boring to watch, but if you are trying to actually see what hes doing or thinking, which is hard, its really entertaining. Like its slow, but methodical. Hes thinking just as fast as everyone else, but plays slower, which is pretty interesting.
I just can't understand how can someone see this; 8:36 and say that HBox is bad, campy or that Puff is strong, really... this guy is the best player in the world and only Armada could compare, and Armada is no more so... yeah suck it haters
Leffen is a master of the taunt to get bodied combo

You're never winning against HBox until the Frame of the "GAME" appears
this guy never deserved the hate he got
“OH MY GOODNESS…HUNGRY BOX WITH THE POP-OFF, WALKING IN MY GENERAL DIRECTION AND THEN BEHIND ME!”
Leffen getting destroyed makes me happy
That salt from the crowd everytime Hbox pops off is pleasing
6:00 never underestimate the Clutchbox
This is the most legendary thing I’ve ever seen, he is doing the impossible I can’t believe my eyes. I’m freaking out watching this in school right now.
Seeing HBox cry after winning EVO really strikes a chord with a me. So much passion for this game.
This was like, inspirational to watch. Absolutely incredible
9:35 "And Hungrybox throws his controller in victory"
Ok that 2v1 comeback was sick
People saying "Don't hate the Bayonetta players, hate the character" but go on to hate on HBox for no other reason than to be hypocritical. Come on, you people are better than this, but the HBox hate will probably clutch the win.
thelostrune Jiggs isn’t the Bayo of melee, so Hbox is fine compared to a Bayo player.
At SmasCon, SFAT lost to Jerry, one of the best players in MDVA - a region that has been on a huge comeup recently. He used to play Fox for years but switched to Puff to be less reliant on techskill while still maintaining a competitive edge because he started focusing more on DBFZ and couldn't put in the training with fox as a result. Everyone agrees that Puff requires less techskill, but at the same time has less tools in 1v1 and other Top Tiers. But I wouldn't exactly call Jerry "a guy who just picked up melee", it's kinda disrespectful towards him as a top player, but oh well.
You don't need many tools when the ones you do have kill super early and have disjointed hitboxes that rival sword characters.
Sneaky Pete If I'm not mistaken, he played Puff before Fox, then switched to Fox, then switched back to Puff. At least, I've seen Xanadu's where he had a pocket Puff. So he's definitely played Puff for awhile. Still, I agree that it's pretty telling that Puff is busted.
ssb4 is different lol, Melee puff can be countered, Bayo from ssb4 cannot.
Me: so how many times did you make a clutch comeback?
HBox: *Y E S*
14:38 The most satisfying win ever.
'Hungrybox, you're down by three stocks, three games, and he has only nineteen percent'
'then it is a fair fight.'
I love seeing Hbox destroy Leffen. It’s the best.
Me too
Leffen: **taunts**
Hbox: *your arleady dead you just don't know it yet*
You taunt the puff, you get snuff'd
4:41 when you try to get into your opponents mind with some cheap tricks but still fail. Love it
1:25 WALKING IN MY GENERAL DIRECTION- *THEN BEHIND ME*
8:31 “ he wants to knock the noodles down ..don’t fall homie !” Hahahhaah
Lol, I'd rather have Hbox as the best Melee player in the world than just some other common Fox player...
true, most of these are just fox players. one of the main reasons i don't watch much melee turnys anymore.
ionic0 Lol, the top 8 Melee EVO had one fox main. Only 4 of the top 20 are fox mains
You know that falco is by far the most common main?
Fox Players are not really THAT common.
Why do people still believe fox is dominating this game? Fox has become so exploitable over the years that players legitimately pick floaties so they don't have to deal with the pressure of making mistakes. There's so many more puffs, Marths, peaches, and ics making waves then foxes now. He's still the best character but there isn't a majority of foxes in every top 8. If anything it's cause hbox makes top 8 and forces others to play fox.
I always come back for the second one, just for the scream of the "rest!!!"
“That’s that M. Night Shyamalan ending right there.” 😂😂😂
GOML 2024 vs SDJ will gi down as onenof thenbest certified Clutchbox moments he's had. He's survived Puff Ditto's for over a decade now.
13:50 hbox lookin like whispy
Underrated comment 💀
I like players who get really into the game, the ones who don’t just see it as a sport to win money
I dislike hbox, but i'd be lying if i said he isn't hype during these moments
Same
Not that there's a reason to dislike him in the first place.
Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch give one reason
Hungrybox has matured from his somewhat arrogant persona of the past and is actually a really nice person (to most people)
@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch Yeah I mean if you irrationally hate him for no reason and just go on this video to spam your opinion literally nobody cares about for validation. Fuck off
2:22 “my boi out here tryna make a statement, he’s like look...
Tulip 🌷 “
can we just appreciate the grown man crying. like, such a legend. gotta love hbox.
A lot of top players and outside of top 8 use Fox, but how come only one uses Puff? Mad respect for the skills to go against everyone with one single character that nobody else uses.
cus shes very boring to play
Hbox: down 2 stocks against a Fox
Hbox: Hold my beer
GAME!
Probably one of the best moments in life when hbox won evo against armada, it just makes me happy
When people say hbox is boring to watch, i always think that is...said from a position that hasnt self reflected. I mean i never liked watching any smash for a long time because i didnt get what they were doing. People say that the audience only watches melee for the fast 20xx plays, but honestly do you want people watching the game just cause its fast and flashy? Maybe. Money is money. But once i started watching it more, and understood what they were doing, it was more interesting to watch. Puff and hbox may initially seem boring to watch, but if you are trying to actually see what hes doing or thinking, which is hard, its really entertaining. Like its slow, but methodical. Hes thinking just as fast as everyone else, but plays slower, which is pretty interesting.
HBox has quickly become my favourite Melee God.
11:20 what year was that? They look so much younger
That less clip, after the match just made me so fucking happy dude
I just can't understand how can someone see this; 8:36 and say that HBox is bad, campy or that Puff is strong, really... this guy is the best player in the world and only Armada could compare, and Armada is no more so... yeah suck it haters
Big fan of HungryBox so I really appreciate seeing the moments of his being covered.
