All jokes aside, Salem got third and I just have to give respect where it's due. Especially with Link. It's crazy how many characters can net you good tournament standings. Can't wait to see the meta develop more.
This set was so dope. In one day we got like 10 amazing ultimate sets with so many different characters. In conclusion, ultimate is sick. Also samsora went from losing pools to grand finals... Insane
ForgetTheEnd How the hell did Steven make it sound as though Peach were “an awful character?” Samsora’s combo tech with Peach is the best and most consistent in the business, and part of that is because he stuck with her in Smash 4. Don’t be so belligerent.
@@ForgetTheEnd she was really good in melee (in fact i main her in melee), she was pretty bad in brawl, decent in smash4 and now a monster in ultimate.
Salem’s research team has discovered a new recovery option for link. Air dodge to ledge has already proven unsafe. His Up-B is not safe against peach. Therefore his team has determined that stage spiking yourself and taking your own stock instead is the most effective option. Glad to see Salem is still listening to his research team.
linkerDA I doubt that if he sticks with Link he’ll get any farther, esp with players like Zero not having committed to a character yet, also you look dumb defending him
I think Leo is going to take the tournament he’s been doing really good and Samsora lost to a Chrom so him facing Leo’s Ike that has been doing really good might be a struggle for him. Samsora can come out on top but I just think Leo has all the momentum coming into this set especially after he 3-0d Salem
GHXSTLEADER Yeah true but I don’t think Salem would even beat Leo in grand finals I’d give Samsora a better chance simply because Leo’s Ike was just destroying Salem and Leo has a better knowledge against link and Salem’s play style right now
i think people misinterpret his meaning of research. It's obvious he didn't mean research as in going to a library and reading and looking up information. I think by research he meant years of observation.
I've been meaning link pretty much since day 1. Was really hoping I made a good back. I feel really good about Salem taking 3rd here and Izaw taking 9th at Valhalla. Laughin also just range link pretty highly on his updated tier list. Finally someone put link I had of young link. I actually did start as young link for about a week and decided he just couldn't kill and had no range despite having a sword
What is it with Samsora losing relatively early yet still produces amazing results? Someone has to send him to Loser’s in Round 1 if he wants to win Genesis 6.
Salem is definitely good. This matchup is doable but its just that link have horrendous recovery options while peach can float around you all the time. Even projectile characters can be hype in this game. Snake, link and peach
Salem started beef with Leffen on Twitter saying that Melee isn't part of the Smash community. According to Salem, it wasn't based on an opinion but his "years of research"
I really like Hbox on commentary, he has vast game knowledge but also just makes random references to keep it entertaining
See, if you didn't tell me that was hbox and if I didn't watch the first 30 seconds, I wouldn't have known this was hbox
Pretty good for someone who doesn’t play smash.
HyperPlasma he plays Melee
@@sirEthereal r/woooosh
Joseph Joestar of the community
1:59 "Samsora is *flying* through losers bracket" right as he's sent flying. Hbox with the reads lol
Hbox knows so much for a new player
He read the research thread
Leffen did well too, considering he’s never touched a Smash game before
Andrew P leffens first game was brawl
@@dannyqw1 R u dumb its a joke
All jokes aside, Salem got third and I just have to give respect where it's due. Especially with Link. It's crazy how many characters can net you good tournament standings. Can't wait to see the meta develop more.
I'm honestly just impressed by hbox commentary it's really enthusiastic
indeed, really enjoyable and I hope we can hear him do some more!

nanskee Can’t wait till the meta is figured out and we only see 5 characters being played at high level.
John Kramer *Counterpicks*
that shouldn't be the case if we actually have a decent balanced stage list
@@tomjackal5708 He means counterpicking as in characters.
John Kramer yeah!!! Can’t wait for that...
18:35 Hungrybox and melee and smash 4 and everyone's reaction to "Years of Research"
Salem's Link is sick! Also obligatory Years of Research joke.
HBox should do more commentary. Homie matched the hype of the set, while delivering knowledgeable commentary and that's rare.
Samsora has played Peach all the way through Wii U and his persistence has been rewarded richly. What an absolute monster.
Peach has never been bad. Stop making it sound like she was an awful character.
ForgetTheEnd How the hell did Steven make it sound as though Peach were “an awful character?” Samsora’s combo tech with Peach is the best and most consistent in the business, and part of that is because he stuck with her in Smash 4. Don’t be so belligerent.

Saturn Schimiya ^best one i’ve seen in this comment section so far
he has a research team
Salem gets Third with a pickup Link and people are still trashing this guy, what is with the mob mentality? Can't people just let things go already?
You obviously haven't put in years of research into Salem's tantrum
Clearly you havent put in years of research into how long salems tantrum has been going on, its been like a month you dumb idiot.
This thread has too much research for me to understand all at once. I'll be back later.
Well he’s kind of a douche. That’s not something that just goes away
You mean leffin? Yeah leffin’s definitely an asshole
I came for the years of research
Years of research didnt help in this matchup I guess :/
Back to the lab, lol
He is playing a new character and he got 3rd and He won doubles still tho. Pretty solid
linkerDA I doubt that if he sticks with Link he’ll get any farther, esp with players like Zero not having committed to a character yet, also you look dumb defending him
Dakka
How do they look dumb by giving credit where its due? stfu lol
@@ame3115 Salem haters are becoming a hive mind, lol
"Wilson recovery"
Jesus christ Hbox comentaries are golden lmao
Click video of Salem playing, see 0 dislikes, assume it's because Salem loses and was correct.
salem link is insane
18:35 you right
lol
@@captainquickscope8414 years of research
Definetly
Years of research
the hug at the end was so wholesome
18:35 XD
Glad to see my boi link in semi finals
losers finals
Good guy Salem made samsora win because he too put in years of research into the smash community
wait i though salem said see him in the bracket? i came late at the grandfinal and i didnt see him
Vafflin haHAA get it cuz he didn’t make it to grands haHAA comedy
hbox is such a good commentator!!
"More percent than there are stars in Mario 64" lmao
@18:33
That's the product of years of research
Damn. Salem was so close to making a comeback
For real, Hbox did some really great commentary.
Later Salem, get back to the lab and do some more research! :)
Tbh, Salem came a bit close...
Hbox looking pretty good at commentating
I think Leo is going to take the tournament he’s been doing really good and Samsora lost to a Chrom so him facing Leo’s Ike that has been doing really good might be a struggle for him.

It was a close match it could have gone either way
Yeah Leo is sick

What a read.
3rd is pretty impressive even if you don’t like the guy. Your research jokes are old.
So is melee, and it's not part of the smash community.
YunZyu uhh just like how melee is the third best smash game :)
@@matthewpanaro2712 Someone clearly didn't do their research, melee isn't even a smash game
Matthew Panaro It’s not even a smash game, how can it be third best then?
Agreed, Salem did amazing with Link and truly put that character on the radar.
3rd > 7th.
i think people misinterpret his meaning of research. It's obvious he didn't mean research as in going to a library and reading and looking up information. I think by research he meant years of observation.
14:10 -Salem- Kurt Angle _knows_
In my eyes, Salem was under the "if you spam you're lame" but if your character has 3/4 of projectile moves, what can you do?
18:33 Graphic representation of Salem trying to convince people with the "Years of research" word lmao
11:32 years of research
A few months from now and link is gonna be insane.
3:05 Lenny face
7:07 how come she said don’t jump? I would’ve thought jumping would give him a better chance at surviving the blast zone there
I've been meaning link pretty much since day 1. Was really hoping I made a good back. I feel really good about Salem taking 3rd here and Izaw taking 9th at Valhalla.

salems an absolute mad lad, cant believe a link got third at a major that's crazy, hope he gets even better
That was such a hype match!
18:31 The award for most creative SD goes to...
Fantastic commentary
The item play in this game is beautiful
Should he cite this in this research?
He doesn't need to cite his own source.
Samsora peach is so clean but he has to read air dodges better
ROFL at 18:35
hbox commentary is great
Not a fan of Salem, but seeing Link this high in tournaments is dope.
Wow those first 2 stocks were insane
Salem needs to hit the books, mans been slacking.
yeh if i ever got third at a major id honestly kms
Salem... my goodness... your Link is legit.
Better Link Izaw or Salem ?
Click "Read More" for spoilers
MkLeo won
Thank God.
imagine my surprise at that after winners finals.
Since when does hbox comment
3:05 fighting plesioth in monster hunter be like
Yo Salem you wanna go for nair a little bit more?
the twitch chat had me dying😂
Go to 3:05, then pause.
Research meme aside
Salem's link is pretty dang good
21:30 duhn-duhn-DUHN!
*PAUSE* 3:05 :)
3:05 mario is jealous
13:20 20:25
Bro that combo at the start shows salems years of research thrown in the bin hahahaha
Really nice Link vs Peach play, and they hugged it out and the end. Nice. Pity about all the drama thirst in the comments.
samsora channelling some serious armada here
dawg Salem is short
He stopped growing due to bad posture during his years of research.
There is enough research here to make Jiraiya die from bloodloss.
All these years of research and yet here we are, losing to girly princess.
put the Link down bro
Can someone tell me this years of research into the Smash community thing
Salem started beef with Leffen on Twitter saying that Melee isn't part of the Smash community. According to Salem, it wasn't based on an opinion but his "years of research"
Lol at people trying to roast salem when he got 3rd at a major using link. You guys are honestly clowns 🤷🏻♂️
no one is disputing that he's a good player but it doesnt change the fact that he does say a lot of stupid crap.
*ONE TRICK INTENSIFIES*
RESEARCH!!!!!!!!
That was funny!
- Hungrybox 2019
Izaw's link seems so strong
If only he put as much research into Peach as he did Melee, smh
Came to the comments to see the years of research
wow samsora a beast at peach
salem's link lookin good
Guess those years of research paid off........oh wait
Salem could be so much better if he learned to properly recover w/ the bomb
Edit: Nvm
Hi
03:06 no sabia que esto era hentai 😎😎
I guess Leffen and Salem struggle against Mario characters?
BASED SAMSORA
i feel like samsora can become slightly better at using peach than armada , thats if he proves me wrong && main peach in ultimate
I ship it
black on black
He didn't do his years of research
Peach is top tier
Years of research didn't win
3:06 so lewd
Good stuff from the furry though!
Aether Warrior Salem is a furry?
nope
He needs more research to win a tourney
