incredible 💚
thank you emp
Props to you, man. Your thanks is overdue
Hey Hbox :)
I don't know anything about Melee, but you are a legend. Cheers 🍻
I didn't know who you were until Emp, but I think he's painted a very vibrant picture of your inner strength, and now that I'm aware of you, you have my support. Figured it was time you got some good feels your way, man. Keep up the Good Fight.
Don’t give up and pleases do what you want don’t be forced : D
Imagine having to face "The fifth god" and then you finally meet him and he's named Dr. PeePee.
*D O C T O R P E E P E E*
PPMD Kreygasm
that dark souls moment where you fight "the fifth god" and then get his sword and the description of it says that it belonged to "dr peepee"
Booooooow, before the old gooooods.

*That guy was just holding a crab for the entire tournament.*
and it didn't pinch him magically
He also held cuz he knew hbox was gonna win
screw him tho
I mean... they were in Maryland after all
Local Neko Nia it was dead
I once heard someone perfectly describe why 20XX will never happen. "In a world where people only play fox, those fox's will only be prepared to face other foxs. An off meta pick will have infinite fox's to practice against, whereas the fox will have no way to prepare for the off meta. So even if the off meta isn't technically perfect, they will always find a way in"
Exactly. What’s the point of training an entire army in sword fighting when the enemy has a tank?
i.e. how aMSa ended up beating Mang0 with Yoshi lol. Mang0 even tweeted: “who the fuck plays yoshi in this venue LMAO”
To be fair there were maybe 4 ppl who took 20xx seriously and emplemon is, i guess, one of them. It was just a hypothetical to illustrate that fox is the best character. Its a meme ffs
Just pointing out that amsa had played Yoshi years before people talked about the recent win against mang0 lol
plus, fox isnt even the best character at many of the things he does
The irony of HBox getting a crab thrown at him, symbolizing the crab mentality of the community at the time, is so funny to me.
That guy really shot himself in the foot for that…
Yah but at the same time it is kind of sad due to people not seeing the irony and can’t seem to respect a man who dud nothing wrong. It is a moment in Smash history we should NEVER EVER do
And it had to be in Maryland...
@@tf2fanboy pretty sure there's nowhere else it could be lmao
@@tf2fanboy what’s up with Maryland?
this is probably the only community where dudes can keep raw crabs in their pockets and nobody even notices the smell
That's just how Maryland is.
I mean this community is associated with sweating for reason
LOL!
Aight, smash bros business idea. Crab scented deodorant.
@@Lord_Slifer The Smash Crabs. Smell like a crab, AND get hated by one of the top melee players in the world!
Hungrybox really won evo with a full time engineering job that’s crazy when u think about it
legit yes, like wtf i make pies and im not good at games D:
same, I make games and I'm not good at games D:
Mang0 is a dad lol
Fer Unless he’s a single dad, a full time engineering job is still more admirable.
@@rubyy.7374 I've know full-time engineers and new fathers. New fathers look like they are going through a special kind of hell that only survived with the knowledge it temporary, illegal to not doing anything, and their too tired to think anything else.
Imagine being the random 14-year old kid who beat the greatest smash player of all time
"who is thst
I was once the greatest melee player in my friend group of 10+ (won with jigglypuff coincidentally). Fast forward to today, and my 11 year old cousin can three stock me in SSBU without even trying. I think kids are just naturally better at video games.
@@GuywithaclubI don't feel like I'm improving too much in general video games since, maybe 15 at most? I'd find myself pulling up some game I played thinking I'm going to crush it since I'm older, but it doesn't turn out much easier, not in a mechanical standpoint (maybe I'll learn not to save items or I'll be more open to different playstyles, but I peaked there too recently, I think)
@Guywithaclub I mean, look at ultimate it's dominated by young people, if that isn't the truth then it's a crazy coincidence
and imagine getting shit on by grown ass weirdos online for doing so
the fact that he used that very crab that was meant to insult him, joking about it and used it as a symbol of humility, showing others that he's not a god, he's just a human that tried. That is a real legend.

PPMD's such a cool guy too lol
The melee community is the only community to not question the smell of a random guy with a crab in his hands.
In a melee tournament hall he probably smelled _better_ than average.
My respect for Hungrybox suddenly increased when i realized that he paid attention to his real life prospects and focused on his school and college!

Man it hurts me that he has to ask that, that people are just unaware.
The original video of the incident has people laughing at him for making that statement and saying how he deserved it 😔
the sheer emotion in his voice when he said that really hit me
Imagine being him, winning a tournament being hyped and happy and just seconds later being humiliated and even attacked from many people. Turning the feeling of success into the feeling of being hated. these audience guys are rude af.
@@gordonbman2911 welcome to smash, specifically Melee. The most toxic FGC bar none. Amazing game, incredibly talented players, absolute neanderthal fans...
I remember seeing a video of that, randomly, and thinking "Holy crap this guy is full of himself. It's a kid's game and he mains Jigglypuff."
With context, it's an entirely different picture. It's a man who's spent a decade becoming the best he can be, and being mocked and ridiculed when he finally got to the top. It's a statement of disbelief, not of entitlement.

Many considered HungryBox as the villain, but they never considered the tyrant that was right under their noses, Leffen. He became the villain he should be.
Very late reply but what did leffen do ?
@illv3 not going to be the most in-depth reply, but Leffen has been an extremely egotistical and rude person in several gaming communities (particularly melee) for years, which is shown to some extent in this video. That with a mix of being unsportsmanlike and not accepting losses (ex: after hbox beat him at Ludwigs tournament a year or so ago, he had a huge rant about how melee needs an air time limit? Weird ass take, and was specifically anti-jiggly), a lot of the gaming community hasn't really liked having him around at some point or another. It's super hard to say specifics because he goes off on rants, or does generally toxic stuff fairly often, but the rant mentioned above is the biggest recent one I can think of.
That said, he's wicked good at fighting games, and has reconciled with some people after his worst era getting him banned from smash for a little while (talked about a little in the video). Though he's toned it down, many still find him insufferable. Hope that wasn't too much, and after I said I'd try to keep it short
@illv3 @cadhla2989 As far as I'm concerned, being rude and unsportsmanlike, while noteworthy, is not the most egregious of Leffen's crimes. The fact that he claimed a false victim testimony during 2020's Me Too movement is atrocious. The fact that he conspired against fellow content creators in an attempt to get them canceled during said movement for financial and political profit is diabolical. The fact that he used his influence to vilify competitors, some to the brink of suicide, is despicable. I don't like to refer to anyone as an "evil person," but Leffen has consistently done evil things to people in this community and, as far as I can tell, still feels no remorse for such actions. The fact that people still respect him is astonishing to me, and, frankly, is as strong of an indictment against the community as Leffen has against himself.
Imagine vacationing with your family, thinking "Oh cool a tournament for a game I play, I should enter" Then beating the former #1 player in the world

He should copyright claim himself before someone else does.

>"this man"
I'm a little offended how you've never heard of Emp before, but only a little.
As a sidestory. Armadas character and playstyle make him sound like a very intersting person as well. For me the second "hero" of the story
I love HBox and he's my favorite for sure, but there's no doubt Armada is the GOAT as a competitor.
@@shinji136There is some doubt, the panel put Mango at one
Look up the “Metagame” documentary. Documentary about Armada’s career
he definitely has his own story to tell. he grew up in a small village an practised against CPUs and still became the number one
Armada was a huge force in the scene. He basically won everything easily. The thing was, no one even came close for a long time. Players like Hungrybox, Mang0, Leffen, or whoever would rarely have close matches. Armada just seemed like there was no chance to beat him. He was dumpstering really really good players like they just picked up the game. I would say he was absolutely the most dominate Melee player of all time. Even other players he mentions in this video would get smacked by him with no effort. Unfortunately, he just lost the love of competing.
Love the character growth from Mango, citing HBox as a big reason for him to keep getting better. He really came a long way from the jerk that once greatly disrespected him and turned an entire community against. Nice to see that he changed and became a better person.
The two of them hosted an online Melee tournament and it. . . is an experience.

PPMD is also such a nice guy
@@bananacat3109 all the gods seem like really nice guys aside from mango, mango seems very cocky, especially in the reddit reply.
@@moo9557 Mango is definitely very cocky and arrogant but he's still a good guy. He was just especially so in 2013 during that AMA. He's humbled up a lot since then. Not who I would consider "nice" but he still means well. He meant well back then, too, but his arrogance overpowered everything else. He should have given Hbox more credit in that AMA and he learned his lesson from the backlash along with having a moderated conversation with Hbox soon after.
@@moo9557 while mango is definitely a showboater, he's definitely changed. If you watch some of his recent streams, he's in touch with the community, and while he sometimes is arrogant, he seems a lot more set on becoming a better player, having good relationships with fellow pros, and just promoting melee as a whole. Part of this has to be fueled with his epic war with zain, as they are the top 2 players in the world rn and are just getting better.
If i was known as a God i'd be cocky too
amazed that everyone hated hbox for playing a 'hated character' acting as if they weren't all just spamming fox every chance they got
EVO 2016 is probably one of the greatest tournaments I ever got to watch live. The culmination of so many sets and stories followed by… THAT grand finals. Insane
HungryBox quitting his job is the equivalent of Goku taking off the weights.
"This must be over a 100 kilos!"
Not the weights, the weighted clothing.

👀 Tired boi
It’s insane but I think the same thing affects a lot of top players, which makes it nice for mid level players like me who still have to have a job and/or go to school. The Smash scene really is mostly college aged students, and with no large sponsors (and thus not enough money to live off of), most players on all levels have other things going on in their life. While it would be interesting to see how much further the meta would be if high and top level players could have more time to practice, at least (as a silver lining) it levels the playing field time wise.

It’s actually ironic how everyone would be playing as Fox and once Hbox starts winning they start complaining about jigglypuff
What’s ironic is actually that jigglypuff shuts down more characters than fox, low tiers can hit fox pretty damn hard due to him being a fast faller. Puff shuts down peach, pikachu, ice climbers, virtually every character below game and watch. A good enough player can beat fox. To say puff adds variety is disingenuous, Axe didn’t win summit with pikachu because Puff was played over another fox, falco, marth, shiek. Axe only won cus he dodged Hbox in bracket
Luke Rose dude I get where you are coming from but saying that Axe “dodged” hbox is also not giving him enough credit. He won. While he had a good bracket to succeed in, it doesn’t diminish his win. You could say a player only won because they dodged for literally every player then. A victory is deserved no matter what type of bracket they have.
Michael Rubalcava I’m not saying Axe didn’t earn that tournament. He went off the entire time. His run was awesome, but had Hbox not gotten knocked down early he would’ve had a much lower chance of success. He’s taken like one tournament set against Hbox in his entire career
Luke Rose oh ok, I thought you were just saying that Axe’s win wasn’t as deserved because of hbox’a absence. I interpreted wrong, my b. I have just seen a lot of people say stuff about how so and so play wouldn’t have one because of another player, which I think is a terrible outlook. Sorry for that misunderstanding that I had.
They complain about Jigglypuff because the character has the reputation of being boring, not Fox.

@@cjkmelee He still is. False accusations make anyone a villian in my book. Guy named franchise did a lot of good videos talking about the smash community. Certainly got me up to speed on some stuff. Leffen kinda deserves a ban given what he's done.
Luckily people are finally starting to see Leffen for the scumbag he truly is while Juan is still chilling at the top.
@@NeiasaurusCreations doing criminal activities like zero is bad in my book
13:00 The kid was the protagonist of a shounen and the tournament was a one-off random event in his journey.
He had the anime flashback and the power of friendship
It was a filler episode
Gon at the hunters exam
An anime over this would be sick
He had the power of family
I didn't know HungryBox until I watched this video, but it's such a masterpiece that I watched the whole thing 3 times already. This is truly inspiring scriptwriting and video editing
After thousands of hours of UA-cam videos I can definitively say this is my favorite one of all time
Melee doc if it had DLC
This was a godlike watch. His story is impressive and inspiring
How has nobody replied yet
The guy who made the original is actually making another he has to clear the rights. It's going to be on UA-cam and Netflix
@@Blade383210 isnt it gonna cover smash 4 and ultimate? or brawl? i forget
Theo Kepler smash brothers covered 2001-2010ish, metagame(new one) is then on, same game
@@Cutrong1229 When is it dropping though? I've been hearing about it for what seems like half a decade now.
“The Rise of the fifth god: Dr. PeePee”
I swear, I could not stop laughing at that moment 😂
When he said PeePee MD I lost it
I wonder how many times did this man recorded this so he could say it without laughing
There is a five year old inside all of us
[proceeds to say "PP" as much as possible throughout this section of the video]
Andre We put respect on the name of the doctor
One thing comes to mind for the whole story and situation:
"And they found you amusing for awhile, the people of this city
But the one thing they love more than a hero...is to see a hero fail, fall...die trying
In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you"
Who just has a crab in their inventory
"Hungrybox's victories are treated like funerals while his defeats are celebrated like God's gift to the game."
Jesus this is a mood if there's ever been one...
Fr fr no cap
very depressing tho
There's no greater cesspool of shit in E-sports than the SSB fanbase.
@@burpbot7555 No kidding, I only played for 6 years, but some people I met were absolute trash. Harrassing players and making fun of those with issues / disabilities. So glad they're banned.
On the other hand met some of my best friends.
Wait, the community with MULTIPLE high-ranking players that groomed young girls to have sex with them in an almost mob-style way is terrible? Shocking.
"I don't care if hbox wins for another 10 years, melee is sick." - Mango
He said that? I'm glad
@@ElWeebDelBarri he doesn't hate the puff matchup. He and hbox are on different wavelengths and have clashed as a result but it was never about hbox playing puff. Conversely Armada never had a problem getting along with hbox but hates hates hates playing against puff.
@@TheStrangeBloke ehh.. if you've ever seen his reddit AMAs he does seem to dislike hbox and puff.
(answer to why he has beef w/hbox):
"He turned puff into the lamest thing after i made her legendary ... A$$HOLE"
(a response to hbox):
"LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO i can say that i have grown up a lot in the last 2 years .. and i waited to shake ur hand at ncr but you were crying or whatever and i was gonna wait till you were finished And ive been more civil to you outside of smash for sure but when it comes to the game itself i have 0 respect for ur " skill " . I think ur a disgrace to the game and i think ur god awful. You learned 1 gimmick and abused it .. You never adapt to anything .. Ur just bad at the game and if you wanna shut me up. Beat me consistently dude and it will change .. Until then get off of reddit and go practice"
He’s a good sport
Shironane I assume what he means is that his mentality towards hbox and puff have changed over the years. That AMA was from 2013, maybe things have changed since.
There will never be another video on a pro player like this one
I had watched the whole documentary and was really easy to watch it. You made me look at a 1 and a half hour without getting bored.
Thanks!

So far you've made me emotional about spongebob, WWE, NASCAR, 1 Russian guy and a dude who plays smash for a living, all of which I had no interest in prior too. That is a talent that I feel no one else on this earth has ever had.
@Adi Kancharla that'd be sick, a never ever about One Piece would be cool too.
@Shaman Xeed "Aren't I so edgy and cool by breakig the peace in an otherwise regular thread."
@@cai6972 I think DBZ would get a Never Ever instead. That show introduced Anime to the west for countless people and it's the show that caused a domino effect on western audiences to watch different kind of anime

The next should be about a video game series. Maybe GTA since it has the greatest games like Gta SA, 4, and 5.
1:01:47 After 3 years I finally realize that this was an Oppenheimer reference
This is one of the best pieces of media I’ve ever watched.
this video is STILL GOLDEN its re-watchability is so high
LUDVIX!!!
The falco
RIGHTTTTT!
That whole Hungrybox is Melee analogy segment always gives me goosebumps. Seriously top tier.
oh damn 2 fucking hours the chances
“You aren’t destroying melee, the community is”
your profile picture sums up literally the melee community feelings about Hbox lol
No it doesNt
@@sir5434 It does if you've watched the entire video.
@@maximusdecimusmeridius728 the melee community openly hated hungrybox
@@sir5434 true
i constantly find myself coming back to this video this honestly might one of be one of the more important videos i’ve ever watched and was a incredible introduction to a phenomenal community
That is best documentary i have watched in years. Great story telling, editing and all round narrative. Even from a person who doesn't watch any competitive events, this was very fascinating.
Being considered one of the best players in one of the most legendary games ever and naming yourself “Doctor PeePee” is a godlike choice
based beyond mere mortal comprehension
Well, he changed his name to PPMD. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~
He called himself that because apparently, when he was in grade school, he spilled orange juice on the crotch of his pants, and the other kids said "hey, you look like Dr. Pee Pee!" And so he stuck with that when he had to come up with a player tag
@@LordTerias Are you fucking with me, please tell me where you heard this. I need a primary source.
@@LordTerias lmao
The “Never Ever” series is the best running series to ever exist on this channel. Idk if this is a hot take or not but I have watched all the Never Evers multiple times and I’m hyped for this new entry.
The dale Earnhardt one, breaks me everytime, I cry every fucking time
This isn’t just the best series on Emps channel, its the best series on this platform
Reminder that he has a patreon if you wanna support him farther. These videos have a lot more to them than just their face value.
pubba13452 I watched that one a weeks ago and it had me in tears. I had already watched it more than 10 times and yet it still brought me to tears
BloomFilms I’m only in high school so I don’t have very much money to give. But I’ll consider it.
I find it funny that when Hbox is getting fucked up by fox or link he sucks it up and finds a way to beat it, but when he’s fucking other people up they pretty much say “well the characters easy to play” and completely disrespect both Hbox and themselves by not taking the time to learn how to counter it.
This is such a good video and good story. I've never been involved in competitive smash bothers, but I've watched this video 3 times in two years. I keep coming back to this amazing story
Imagine going into a building and hearing “Mango is going to take it over Dr. PeePee”
Lol i would think it was some immature adults
RezantheDude Duder You ain’t wrong
I want to know how many times he had to record him saying Dr. PeePee without laughing. He sounds like a very mature adult but like, I am too and wouldn’t want to have to say Dr. PeePee at all.
Ah, yes...

@@BobTheB0SS People villify him cause he doesnt play the community sponsored character pool. He isnt a villain of the community, all he's done is reveal how toxic and un-interested in change the community is.
@@BobTheB0SS Ironic.
Bob Reed people’s personal hero’s are different, don’t judge
@@BobTheB0SS you literally just proved the video's point. people don't like hbox because he proved that melee isn't a fast-paced combo fighter, it's a fucking party game.
I have watched this masterpiece countless times. It is undoubtedly my favorite video on the entire platform.
I found this video the weekend before Thanksgiving in 2020. Since then, my life has changed and I’ve become a huge fan of Hbox and so many more melee and Ultimate players. I have emp to thank.
