The Story of Leffen: The God Slayer

แชร์

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2024
  • Leffen went from villain to validated. His skill improved and improved until he did the impossible. And after doing that, he still wanted more. He still went further. He’s Melee’s first Evo champion that’s not one of the five gods. He’s more than just the god slayer, he’s the next generation.
    This is his story.

Like AshuraGameTime thought, we put a ton of time and effort into this video. It's built off of several interviews I've done with Leffen over the last three years, along with tons of research from myself and the spectacular editor who worked on this video. We worked really hard on this, so I hope you can take another look and see that. Thanks for watching!

      Armada can stay retired. He is part of a bigger problem in Melee now. I call it the salty god rea where they can no longer win besides Hbox so he quits and talks mad shit about puff at every moment. Like his re stream of Summit 7 was nothing but excuse for why puff is winning

      Derek Lewis What you are saying makes no sense, Armada retired winning Super Smash Con 2018 and in his last set he destroyed Hbox 3-0 and ended the year with a dominant 5-1 record over him (33-19 lifetime in favor of Armada), Armada has won every super major ever at least once and has a positive record on every person that has ever been ranked Top 10. Also there’s nothing wrong with complaining about Puff, it’s Armada’s opinión and Hbox also talks shit about Fox, in fact everyone complains about characters all the time, it’s normal.

    *Leffen is Kung Lao: Every bit as good as Liu Kang, but blocked by his own pride.*

Because of the Twitter backlash and the fact that Zero himself, suffering already from severe anxiety issues and depression, felt that there was no room for him to actually contradict the accusations. After struggling for months, he almost succeeded in taking his own life in March the year after the accusations were levied against him.

      No, it really shouldn't. That'd just defeat the entire point of Smash and take away part of what makes it stand out. Smash isn't "every other fighting game", and it by no means should attempt to change that. Due to how Smash is set up, even if your opponent is way behind, that doesn't mean you can just relax and figure you've already won. The fact that you CAN beat an opponent who's at 80% when you're at 157% is what makes Smash exciting. You can't predict the outcome just by looking at the current situation, because the way things look one moment can go the complete opposite direction not even five seconds later.
      If you want "equal damage", go ahead and play on Stamina mode and see for yourself just how compatible Smash is with what works in "every other fighting game".

  • @Aflay1

    You hear his tale of how he is an egotistical villain.
    You hear the things he says. You see the type of person he is. He has truly been a rude crude dude.
    But really look at him. Look at how human he is when he wins and loses.
    Look at how he is at Evo. He claims to be a god, he claims that he will win at EVO.
    When he finally reaches that point, when he finally wins Evo, he basically broke into tears, stood proudly, in front of millions, with his hands cusped, humbled and polite.
    The truth is, it was always a bluff. He was an underdog. Everyone knew this.
    All in all, I wouldn’t define Leffen as a god slayer. He is more like Hercules. He is a young man who was born of the gods and longed to sit next to them as equals. Against all odds, he went from zero to Hero. Leffen, the Hero.

    Armada owed Leffen no loyalty, it was business. Toxic behavior is bad for business and toxic behavior was Leffen's regular state of being, Leffen was bad for business. I'm glad he cleaned his act up. I think it's an incredible lesson for young people that they see someone at such a high level be punished for bad behavior that denigrates the community. It's important that young people learn that bad behavior will not be tolerated in a professional business setting.

    3:44 And then Leffen met Tekken... which is why he made a bunch of bs to say Tekken was too complex (in reality, not more than many other games/sports). He tried to say he can't absorb all the knowledge (there are games with way more knowledge required, so he's lying). The knowledge aspect is just the unofficial tutorial of tekken. The skills part comes after. He realized Tekken was the game where he can't touch the top 1%, so he "respectfully" made a bunch of bs excuses to say the game was not beginner friendly and ran from it. Hopefully, he keeps trying though. His expectation for Tekken was too unrealistic and he thought he could become top player just like any other fighting game. He should give it more time.

    That GO1 vs Leffen match is still one of my favorite fgc matches, next to when SonicFox Roflcopter'ed Perfect Legend, and when Poongko demolished Daigo

    After his endeavors, Leffen moved on to push for the cyberization of lin kuei.

    I've liked Leffen ever since he was the villain. He was too good of a villain for me to hate him. Even back then, whether you liked him or hated him, when Leffen plays it's always a must-see match. I love the excitement that follows him, I think he's part of what keeps the game alive.

    I love Leffen so much dude, I just feel like I understand him to his core and I do not have anywhere near his personality. I hope he conquers Melee for years to come and eventually becomes the true number 1 player in the world.
