crazy you got armada on, excited to listen today!

[@5gods]

7:29 literally haven't seen Armada smile like that in years

[@SuperWildYoshi]

Good stuff man! Legendary

[@eddiestilll]

I find it crazy how in late 2024, 6 years after Armada's retirement from competitive Melee in 2018, we still talk and include him in the GOAT conversation and discuss how dominant and ahead of his time he was. His legacy on the game is hella sick.

Thanks for this podcast! Great insights from Armada, lots of stuff I didn't know yet.

[@xTheReapersSpawn]

Really chill interview. I knew the fam was a big part of the final retirement, not sure if Armada has talked about that elsewhere! Great questions overall. ❤️

Yoo. Boutta give this a watch on my 90 minute train ride

[@dirtsquids9854]

At the big house 9
I went and saw armada there
I was too scared to talk to him so I just said “greatest of all time” when I was near him. He looked like he wasn’t sure if I was going to rob him or something. I wasn’t, Adam. You’re just the greatest of all time.

[@yolobuttrill]

Very relatable. Ggs wp

[@fogfish303]

yooooooooo this is so sick

[@fogfish303]

when i saw that thumbnail the doc kid came out of me haha im so excited to listen to this

[@NemesisCOD]

Hearing him say how he watched GF at 12 years old and thought "I want to be in that chair" gave me chills. Because he would end up sitting in that chair at something like 80% of tournaments he'd attend as a mature player, which is completely unfathomable....

[@SpagetteWoW]

"second place master" sounds like a mang0 thing to say LMAO
