There's one thing I really miss about Armada's peach. He had THE cleanest, most consistent edgeguards in the game. Possibly even better than prime hbox.
hbox has better edgeguards simply by default because he plays puff and armada plays peach. However, armada has better everythinh else, was more dominant and consistent than hbox ever was, and is overall going to go down as the better player in this game. No disrespect to Hbox, he has established himself as the clear number 2 head and shoulders above everyone else, but just no one i think will ever match armada's records in the game
I look at it this way: If M2K can compete solely in Melee doubles and some Ultimate over 9 months and still be good enough to take sets from multiple Top 10 players, I think the BOAT can still take names. All it takes is a little bit of time to de-rust and a drive to compete again. Armada! Armada! Armada! Armada!
I honestly think Armada could drop off the grid for five years, not playing, not keeping up with any new developments, then he could come back and get up to speed in at most a couple months. Realistically more like a few weeks if he was grinding it out
@@nihatnihat8264 being behind the meta is no issue, he just isn't likely to be able to play through a full bracket right now, seems to be getting closer at least
I awake once more in a cold sweat, in the middle of the night. Was it something I ate? Something must be on my mind, but I can't put my finger on it. Restless, I check the ranked Slippi EU Leaderboards. Slowly scanning through the tags and characters, I make it through the top 50. I feel sadness, emptiness. There are no Peach/Fox dual mains in the top 50 of the EU leaderboards. I go back to bed, my wife asks "What's wrong?", I reply "Nothing."
Hey Armada, question here. Seeing the roster for EVO 2020 includes mvc2 (20th yesr aniversary) tournament of champions (a semi invite event). If Evo 2021 includes melee in the same fashion (melee's 20th birthday) and you get invited, would you step out of retirement and go??
Armada has had a decade of practice against Mango & Leffen the 2 best Fox's in melee history. Veteran Mindset, awareness, experience will always beat a young padawan no matter his tech skill level
Make the announcement Adam... come on home Brudder! You know and we know there are plenty of puff slayers now in the top 10 so it won’t be that bad, we miss you and M2K would attend the first tournament he could if you where back. Your existence in our brackets drive so many players to become the best they can!
Armada is so damn good. Honestly guy's if he doesn't feel a burning desire to even compete seriously in ultimate than I doubt it would be the same like that with melee. I think having that fire for either one will affect the other. We'll just wait and see. We can't say the same for ZeRo though.
Do you remember that time period in which Armada was winning almost every single major back to back and each top 8 was just an armada combo video? Yeah, I miss that. Put hbox in his place armada, we need you. 🥺
He can but he shouldn’t. He has nothing to prove. Save your hands, armada!!! Just enjoy ultimate and compete there. Lower pressure and it’s a new experience and easier on your mind and body.
But just not as high octane juicy as Melee. Like switching from cocaine to Aspirin Complex. Leaves just enough of a taste in your addiction center to forever miss the real thing.
@@wittyjester I'm an ex top pro WoW player (2007-2010) and I compete in Smash on the side of my regular job. I came back to WoW after many years just to try it and it had its moments but it's not the same after pouring so many years into something at a top level. I can be good but I can't be the best anymore. Everyone has their time. Armada had his. His legacy is done. There's a relief when you've moved on, even if there's always a side of you that will miss the glory days.
I see some of my rivals like Venruki from back then still compete and it's hard to watch because it brings up the past but it's good to have moved on. I'm guessing Armada feels the same. You make peace with it. He's still in the scene.
Melees gotten more and more hype the last few months with the rise of zain and mango winning tournaments again but armada coming back to competing would no doubt start a new golden age for melee. I love having armada around just to comentate but armada in bracket is just pure bliss.
Armada please at least compete a few times a year you dont have to be dedicated and get sucked in but atleast do what mew2king is doing going to tournaments every now and then having sub goals etc etc. Just do it for fun for the fans. We miss the flavor you brought and if you dont get first so what just seeing you there is enough for everybody
Armada could be #1 if he grinded as hard as he used to, but arguement mango was making was that to say that 2018 meta armada would still be like a top 5 player is not only wrong, but a bit disrespectful to the people who have leveled up so much (and also advanced the meta) in the last 2 years, like zain, axe, ibdw, etc. Not saying that 2018 armada would get bodied in the current meta, he'd probably be at least a top 15 player, but that just goes to show that the meta has shifted somewhat, that someone who could've arguably been #1 two years ago might not even be top 10 anymore at the skill level he was at.

Probably not. Just clickbait. Rip Armada, rip ppmd. Sad to say. But it's the truth.
I only hope I'm wrong!
Don’t tease us, Armada. You know we all want to see you compete again. We all know that you’d be a top player regardless of the hiatus.
Lucky Lucas He’d be top 5 in a short time , if not right away
Mangekyou Pichu Almost certainly. I can’t see Armada starting any less than top 10 as soon as he’s considered full-time.
Imagine both Armada and PP in the scene again as competitors, it would be bliss
Armada could definitively compete with the best of the bet, but PP would be way too far behind the meta
Nihat Nihat Zain came into the meta when Melee had more than a decade of competitive history, I don’t see how PP can’t catch up on 4-5 years.

Maybe it was all just a nightmare.
Hes doing things with peach that he never did when competing. Down smash has always been a super utility but hes never used it as well as he is now.
I didn’t start watching Melee till I got into ultimate. It would be really cool to see Armada compete.
Watching Ultimate is fun but it also clearly illustrates how much sicker Melee is. Double edged sword from Nintendo
9:17 longest peach wavedash I have ever seen.
It's your decision Armada, but you're definitely good enough to come back. And it would make us very happy, and your popularity would explode.
0:52 sick tech to get swedish sniped omg
Id give anything to see them play friendlys now that cody is looking like the new #1
Armada I would love nothing more than to see you compete again.
I love watching you and ibdw play genuanly feel like they are some of the best friendlys ive seen

Assuming Evo cares about Melee? Ultimate already has the smash game spot

Don't know about that last part. M2K surpassed Ken in one year after he started playing, while Ken had over 3 more years of experience on him
Peach's down smash does 50%!?!?!?!?
Imagine Cody vs Armada in 2024 that would be a lot different!
Beginning of matches “peach sucks” after one win later in the matches “ peach is a busted ass character, peach is ridiculous, peach bodies fox” lol
Thats the joke
He even says whoosh
“r/woosh”
There's a big difference between "Peach being able to compete" and "Armada being able to take 1st with Peach at a major."

Those that watch Armadas stream, how much melee does he actually play?
Niko James he streams almost every day and out of those streams plays doubles maybe once a week and singles maybe once a week. So it’s pretty often.
LETS GO ARMADA! Your peach is lookin miiiighty fine. The return of the goat?
God I miss watching Armada compete
Armada could win a major this year if he wanted to
This video gives me hope that I know is misplaced. Please Armada ;-;

We can't say the same for ZeRo though.
this is sucha good highlights video. we wanna see more melee armada!
Armada's peach vs none's ganon. What a Dream!!! :O
This question is comparable with "will the sun rise tomorrow". Of course your peach is still sick haah

We miss you man, come back pls.
I saw a green fox and immediately thought it was Silent Wolf 😭
Mew2king uses the green one too
And plup
Keep doin you homie. Silentwolf was the only dude to make green fox look cool. Plup is doin all he can to bring it back tho
Tooglian Primus Right! & I agree about Plup. That last set against Hbox at Summit was the first time in a while that I’ve enjoyed Puff v Fox
its just a matter of time now, you dont escape melee forever

Please come back bro. The scene needs you.
I miss Armadas Peach
Armada's got the Melee itch....
Its crazy to think that some of the coaches in summit could place in the top 3 if they entered
Oof! That 50% at 6:06. What's the most damage you've inflicted with down smash?
I miss seeing top peach play from Armada
IBDW sandbagging to bring armada back into the scene is brilliant (jk armada is that good)
Thank you for doin melee content!
Dang he’s still got it
This is such a treat to watch !!
Armada and IBDW should maybe try doing teams at least once, if not already.
They did last year at The Mango actually.
it feels like every fox player is literally insane in friendlies but in tournament nerves get them
Oh how you tease us Armada.
Armadas peach is the highest wall in melee to me.
0:58 amazing
And the swedish sniper strikes aigan
I totally respect Armada's decision to retire. But I do miss seeing him compete.
not only to compete but to be the best in the world again
Come back please. There's still so much melee to be played
I needed this video.
Silly question of course, just think of how much time those turnips had to grow.
Where'd you play in this video?
Were you visiting PPMD in USA?
The return of the king?
you'll be back this year, whats stopping you?
ARMADA! ARMADA! ARMADA!
was peach's side special still peach bomber?
If armada came back from retirement that would spice things up a bit

He just keeps on chugging along while IBDE bitches and moans.

Return of the GOAT???
Me hearing multiple controllers sounds lol 😂
It's nice that we can still admire the wonder that is Armada's Peach even though he retired.
Hey Armada please come back.
Is this guy named John? He had a lot of Johns 0.0...
I think armada was just waiting for someone else to be able to take on HBox so he wouldnt be the only one doing it
You should revisit this concept
