Those Plup chants give me chills for some reason. Kids gonna go down as one of the all time great players. Getting 5th at a major with Luigi is no joke.
I seriously don´t get why you would boo swedish after he stopped playing luigi. I mean, luigi dittos are fun and all, but at the end of the day he came here to place well at the tournament, not to have fun playing luigi.
Burnin Taco Dunno, perhaps. Still, in the heat of the moment, that boo could have definitely affected his mentality. It was perhaps just a joke, but I personally didn't agree with the crowd
Yeah, although Plup is the highest placing Luigi, Abate's run at Big House is still probably more impressive Abate: Beat Axe, S2J(very close), and Duck. Lost to Mango and Shroomed Plup: Beat Nintendude and Druggedfox. Lost to M2K and Swedish Delight
Plup is a master! What other top player has the balls to bring a luigi to face off against the gods. He ain't even a luigi main!? Oh and he has a samus, he plays sheik, my dude don't GAF. Plup the realest #truth
Watching Swedish Delight's Luigi in the dittos made me realize just how smart he is playing. This guy's definitely, very good. The Luigi pick, and more so doing well with it, definitely got in Plup's head a little bit though. I'll be fair, Swedish had an advantage because he was already used to playing versus Luigi for a game, and Plup had no recent mindset with versus other luigi's. Plup was also called the world's best Luigi and then Swedish took the first Luigi ditto match off of him. Luigi for Plup, was like "his new unique main" for this tournament and it feels like Swedish is stealing the character from him as he's taking that first ditto game, which sets in some serious 'mental damage' against Plup. What a dirty and risky move, but a very strong one if he knew -or thought that far in in-the first place. I mean, Plup looking like it was nothing, but that's just cause he's got that Melee Mental Fortitude feat checked in.
The sound of a wavedash/jump/airdodge never gets old. Also, did you know what that signature sounds plays on an airdoge as well as a jump. If your wavedash timing is really lose, you can hear the YAH twice!
When Swedish was airdodging onto stage to recover, what was stopping Plup from simply turning around and up-b? It seemed like it was definitely an option on reaction.
We were 1 game away from a solo Luigi making top 4
WILL PLUP OR ABATE GET TOP 4 AT THE NEXT MAJOR?! FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL CEOOOOOO

It's strange when you see a Luigi ditto that doesn't include either Abate or Eddy Mexico, even for a couple of games.

Everyone has mastered misfire RNG to TAS level of perfection.

Seemed more like a playful boo to me.
Burnin Taco Dunno, perhaps. Still, in the heat of the moment, that boo could have definitely affected his mentality. It was perhaps just a joke, but I personally didn't agree with the crowd
Lmao it's Florida, think they care?
He said he would ditto and then he didn't, that's why they were upset. Pretty bitchmade imo
Octavio Gonzalez He said he would ditto, and he did for 2 matches, wtf are you on about
Lol does this make plup the highest placing luigi at a major?
yes
JazzFan222 I think Abate got 5th at Zenith 2013? So technically no he's not the highest placing Luigi.
Abate actually got 7th at Zenith, Hax and Shiz got 5th
Abate got 7th at Big House 5, which is a super major.
Yeah, although Plup is the highest placing Luigi, Abate's run at Big House is still probably more impressive
Abate: Beat Axe, S2J(very close), and Duck. Lost to Mango and Shroomed
Plup: Beat Nintendude and Druggedfox. Lost to M2K and Swedish Delight
6:45 phantom hit so bad both players faces read "wtf"

dddmemaybe It's not dirty at all, Swedish tweeted he'd Luigi ditto Plup.
Tafo needs to be this loose and confident on his melee science vids. Then they would be perfect
LOL yeah, he sounds terrified in the Yahoo series, like that kid who sang "Spongebob Style" in that viral video.
Tafo gets sick whenever there isn't a screen of Melee shining on his beautiful face.

Also, did you know what that signature sounds plays on an airdoge as well as a jump. If your wavedash timing is really lose, you can hear the YAH twice!
I like when D1 says "I got you" and tafo says "you got me"
plup is a monster wtf more luigi please!!!
Plup, you're so gangster for playing Luigi ily
I remember when you used to wear that hat, good times
2:14 "look like our president"
When Swedish was airdodging onto stage to recover, what was stopping Plup from simply turning around and up-b? It seemed like it was definitely an option on reaction.
so many memories! I need a new copy of this game stat!
for the future: it goes primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, quinary
First time i heard the crowd boo for something that wasn't bad sportsmanship.
Ah. That explains it. Thanks.
I'm Zlow he did Luigi ditto
all he said was that he would do a luigi ditto though, which he did. Fans just wanting more than what was promised
2:30 Most Luigi combo ever
Did he get 1 misfire the whole set? ouch
6:46 Phantom nair > soft nair for extra damage
FloatyXX
Man, that game 3....
Why doesnt Plup use his mains? Is he trying to prove something...?
MoFo5869 he want all Luigi this tournament because he wanted to have fun, it's not that serious
MoFo5869 he made a tweet saying if it got 1000 retweets, he'd go luigi all tourney
he'd been in Korea and out of practice too.
Luigi the most RNG character in melee
Swedish's Luigi plays close to Abate's
Plup needs some sun
Luigi is Wack
I was there and the crowd was 120% behind plup after swedish chickened out of the ditto. The video didnt do it any justice
honestly if he went sheik he might have gotten just as far...
Hunter Raab maybe, but his sheik could have beaten m2k, and probably would beat Swedish. I don't know plup' record against Swedish tho
I frame nair??!!?? Tafo what you on?
if luigi had shine he could be viable, right? XD
if he could jump out of his down b, that would make luigi sooooooo good (and if he had land cancel neutral b, he would be high tier)
Oh D1 deserved to get canceled
First 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
