Chu dealt with the Ganon problem pretty well here, but I don't think this strategy will work against any proficient Ganon users. He'll have to come up with something else.
Really awesome job by jesa, i liked the previous vod but he took some critiques from the comments on the previous video to make this one even that much more amazing. Respect for the hard work put in
I really feel like breaking losing streaks like that is more overcoming a mental block than strictly getting better. After that first win it's like unleshing your potential again
The character diversity in the top 8 was awesome! Did you see those Mario/Link matches! Then M2K Ganon v ICs looking like Chu v Kage at Montreal! That SICK set between AXE and SFAT! AXE v S2J! Melee is SO FAR from dead! There were only two real foxes in the top 8!
If you firefox under the ledge lip straight up but youre really close to the edge, you can hold that direction on the stick as the firefox ends and youll snap and grab ledge.
Y'all think that it's a bad tourney cuz hbox won even tho we got to see a Gannon Mario and young link in top 8. Melee players are so pessimistic and melee will actually die if they keep this attitude
Dreamhack Denver is shit for allowing midset coaching, no offense to vgbc at all. Appreciate the work you do. Midset coaching should never be allowed for singles. I'm not sure about it for teams, though, one way or the other.
You're pretty lame if you decide wether a tourney was good or not based on who wins, get over yourselves jesus I dont even like hbox but respect the man's hustle
midocrimsonfate someone can't face puff players L0L, as a fox it's one of my favorite matchups to play because of how high risk both characters have to play.
midocrimsonfate I don't know how many times I am going to say it lol *they are playing to win and it doesn't have to be hype.* don't like that? Leave the fucking community lmao
Stop asking people to clip stuff! If the play is good enough to get clipped then it's going to get clipped whether you ask them to or not and it takes away from the moment.
megamanblue it’s because they keep letting HOMEMADEWAFFLES on the mic. Idc what anyone says the guy is an air head and I can do without the cringe references to the songs he likes.
REVOMusicSounds he's pretty much a veteran at commentating and the commentary has always been like that. That being said I would love to see you do better lmao
You're looking like the 5 year olds in Smash 4 who would complain every time ZeRo won. Get over yourself: Hbox is easily the most aggressive player in the MIOM 50 right now. Even Mango was waiting for his approach. If that's not enough for you, then I'm not certain that this a game which you should be following.
Pizza Shark not even the most agressive player in the top 6. Most defensive player maybe because all he ever does is throw walls of bairs which are nearly noncommital btw
Pizza Shark but nobody is complaining when Armada wins every time... the reason people complain about Hbox always winning is because hes extremely boring, narcissistic, and a one-trick-pony. Maybe he'l get some more respect if he can actually prove himself with another character.
+ AllthatremainsMV People complain about Armada winning all the time all the time, myself included. Not sure where you picked up that delusion, but you don't speak for "nobody", or in this case, everybody. Incidentally, a good way to convince people of your stupidity is to accuse people you've never met of narcissism. Really, you've convinced me.
You gotta understand M2K's pain when it comes to getting wobbled. Can't respect people who use ice climbers. Cannot for the life of me understand how that character isn't banned in tournaments
abelign character that has been in 2 grand finals of major tournaments in the last 5 Years, evo 2013 and Fly Amanita in early 2015. Stop trolling and man up.
Nah man, melee is more alive than it ever was. 2nd place is still respectable and frankly 2017 is probably the most consistent we've seen mang0 in a very long time results wise. Armada is showing cracks in his armor, Leffen has yet to truly come back S2J, Axe, Sfat and other top 20 players are slowly inching closer. Plup is now officially part of the very small group that has beat all the top 5 These top players all have their work cut out for them, 2018 is going to be absolutely insane man you''ll see.
No, I don't like the content. I only clicked this because apparently you put an embargo on Pengboys and Smasha... Just hire them if u mad ffs, they make way better videos.
TheIcedPeanut They literally take twitch's top videos (which the site seperates for you) and edit them together without any work, this is literally Gimr's content. You're back asswards dude.
T!TO Thank you. All lf these idiots online don't realize the hard work gimr and other producers put in every week to run these streams. Hard work that can just be leeched by "original content" channels such as pengbongs.
Octavio Gonzalez fair enough point I guess but it's not like he's getting paid for it or atleast a better amount than that of vgbc, most of the good clips are not even from vg they are from the streamers themselves until a big tournament goes on and in that case everyone does highlights, I don't really see a big problem tbh they can have the embargo but peng is still going to do the main uploads of the channel but not the tournament ones
I used to think so too, but I have to admit these last few tournaments I've really enjoyed watching him. He's playing on another level and actually being pretty aggressive, instead of ledge camping all game.
There's almost nothing funnier than M2K vs ChuDat, every time it happens it's hilarious
Still blown away by how sick axe's tempo storm hoodie is
The only thing funnier than M2Ks ICs problem is Chu's Ganon problem.
Dylan Hunter hi dylan
Hi Kyle
Chu dealt with the Ganon problem pretty well here, but I don't think this strategy will work against any proficient Ganon users. He'll have to come up with something else.
The only thing funnier than M2K Gannon vs. Chu ICs is how Mango's Mario vs. Axe's Young Link might actually start to be normal as an FD matchup
That combo Johnny did against Hbox might be the sickest combo of the year
Really awesome job by jesa, i liked the previous vod but he took some critiques from the comments on the previous video to make this one even that much more amazing. Respect for the hard work put in
Thanks,always appreciated
-Jesa
dj nintendo and hmw are actually a dope commentator duo
They work well together
Hmw just blabbers nonsense while DJ gives the facts and entertainment
^^ i disagree; they both have insight and knowledge its just that hmw is known to be more goofy on the mic.
M2K Ganon Kreygasm
s2j def top 10 for second half of 2017
AsBalz 2 Falcons in top 10 FeelsGoodMan
Yea s2j has been so good since he took a set from M2K
I really feel like breaking losing streaks like that is more overcoming a mental block than strictly getting better. After that first win it's like unleshing your potential again
Patooo 10/10 No, Wizzy isn't top 10
Andrew Ricklefs I think most people can agree he is at the moment. Maybe 11th but definetely not lower
about time gimr/vg... but thanks for coming through!
Sorry my man,i just got a new pc so i had to set everything up,next time its gonna be as soon as the top 8 finishes
-Jesa
I will never click the bell. Who the fuck wants emails
Super Player I do
The B World My b.
its unforgivable
The B World it's also normal notifications
Super Player IKR. Man, Gimr does a lot for the scene, but he doesbt have an ounce of likability in him and is kinda annoying
1:30 is one of the coolest marth combos I've ever seen, and not even from m2k even
Hbox slaying Foxes left and right but I'm glad to see S2J and especially Axe so far in top 8.
The character diversity in the top 8 was awesome! Did you see those Mario/Link matches! Then M2K Ganon v ICs looking like Chu v Kage at Montreal! That SICK set between AXE and SFAT! AXE v S2J!
Melee is SO FAR from dead! There were only two real foxes in the top 8!
Zain with the sickest fd marth combo i may have ever seen
Damn that Falcon combo on Stadium was clean af. S2J is my favorite smasher of all time
Rumor has it the boys are still at it to this day. They impress.
vods when???
"Congratulations to the Hungrybox . . ."
why noone upload any of these matches?
Vafflin what
Really great Top 8 video!!
What's the link for the music out-tro
No handshake from hbox and Johnny?
Where do I get that tempo storm hoodie
Yay hungrybox wasnt sad after winning this tournament!
That combo by Zain was sick
This was great commentary
Thats the kind thumbnail we want to see, thanks
crazy how dominant hbox is, much respect
cough cough you mean armada
OG-Marth hbox is close if not at armadas level tbh
no no. You don't understand. Armada is broken. Hbox is just really good.
OG-Marth times are changing, and right now hbox is proving to be on a similar level, armada still the best but not by much
the fact that hbox can win playing his worst MU constantly speaks to that
Mango's Fox: Sweetspot upsmash? NAH B
this is a great counter strike highlights video
Plup is the only thing keeping S2J out of top 8s
what happened at 22:47
some bullshit
A jab from axe
If you firefox under the ledge lip straight up but youre really close to the edge, you can hold that direction on the stick as the firefox ends and youll snap and grab ledge.
Anyone notice how hbox won on battlefield game 1 and then went back game 5 of winners finals? Thought you couldn't choose a stage you won on
alex phibbs they can agree to go back
Mango shaved?
Axe's young link PogChamp
i was at this live in the back of the crowd no joke
Chu plays fox, m2k plays ganon. This is 20xx
Hungrybox's puff is *scary*
Has S2J beaten Hbox before?
Wrost crowd NA?
Remember when people were discussing whether Mang0 or HBox should be ranked #2 just a while ago? Well...
lmao "someone clip that" is so funny
Let's see if Armada can put out the Hbox fire at summit
Little did sfat know, what was in store for him in the future. 15-3
Y'all think that it's a bad tourney cuz hbox won even tho we got to see a Gannon Mario and young link in top 8. Melee players are so pessimistic and melee will actually die if they keep this attitude
Leighton Burke who’s out here saying this tourney was bad! They bout to catch these hands
I think Hbox has got to be #1 ranked for 2017, no?
summit's the playoff, gonna be hype
Face it fans. Armada is the only answer to this Hungrybox plight. XD
when armada lost to a Losers side hbox in Evo that was the most hype shit. Armada not even as hype as hbox tbh.
they're both in SS tier
Armada is the answer to hbox and hbox is the answer to armada
If leffen or mango got their shit together they could end his hellbox.
Deaf by Hip-Hop Someone has never seen armada/hbox record in the head to head lol
Dreamhack Denver is shit for allowing midset coaching, no offense to vgbc at all. Appreciate the work you do. Midset coaching should never be allowed for singles. I'm not sure about it for teams, though, one way or the other.
You're pretty lame if you decide wether a tourney was good or not based on who wins, get over yourselves jesus I dont even like hbox but respect the man's hustle
Respect his non hype grand finals yay
midocrimsonfat You don't think the GT-X losers bracket comeback against Armada was hype?! That was SO hype.
midocrimsonfate someone can't face puff players L0L, as a fox it's one of my favorite matchups to play because of how high risk both characters have to play.
midocrimsonfate I don't know how many times I am going to say it lol *they are playing to win and it doesn't have to be hype.* don't like that? Leave the fucking community lmao
But I don't like him therefore the tourney outcome was not desirable nor fun for me
I died at 9:43.
DJnintendo + HMW.. my new fave commentators :D fed up with scar toph.. i also miss the d1 prog combo
R0GU3 PH4NT0M Dj has always been good prog+D1 with husband and wife commentary are prolly the best
D1 sucks. This duo is alright I guess, but Wobbles is still by far the best Melee commentator
Choke2Joints FeelsBadMan
"stop doing what's political, and start doing what's right... our country depends on it..."
I would've pooped my pants if M2k Gannon won
Wait tf they had another match fucking chu's fox oh man what a strange set
Back to back to back to back air to back air to back a-
What the FUCK, Axe. w.h.y ?! Why falco.. i know hes pretty good, but you could win against mango with pika. of course you could win..
Kingofevil2King
Well played Hbox. :)
Fucking n0nes tweet hahaha
YEAHHH S2j
B O X P O P O F F
And hbox beats mango again. If he wins summit omg!!
tat'd be great. Don't want Armada to 5peat lol. I rooted for te 3peat but 5? lmao - I want Axe to win
I want Axe or aMSa to win summit.
Larvitar Dratini if amsa wins, melee will be reborn.
5peat I hope. Hbox #2
landwolf00 That makes no sense
Go hbox! Looking like the best player of the year
Mang0 why!!!? God pls
YAYSON WAT DE FAC.
The day hbox retires will be the greatest day in melee history
Disrespect2King
How? He went Ganon because it's optimal against icies (see Kage vs Chudat at Dreamhack Montreal), which is what m2k does. :P
Its a joke
+Dlord1PlayStation m2k is such a fucking lamer,
If I knew him I'd try my best to make sure he didn't turn up to smash fests
did you just unironically use the word lamer
I keep forgetting 13-year olds run rampant in youtube
sj2 looks like hes buttonmashing I swear
its s2j
thanks for the correction m8
no prob
he is button mashing bcz he is trash
Stop asking people to clip stuff! If the play is good enough to get clipped then it's going to get clipped whether you ask them to or not and it takes away from the moment.
Sometimes people ask so they can see it later
I think they mean more as a joke
CLLLLIPTHATSHHHHIT!
Stop asking people who ask to clip stuff not to ask to clip stuff.
"Hey this moment is great!" "Clip that." "This moment sucks now! D:"
Yeah okay.
why is super smash bros. commentary so bad?
megamanblue it’s because they keep letting HOMEMADEWAFFLES on the mic. Idc what anyone says the guy is an air head and I can do without the cringe references to the songs he likes.
REVOMusicSounds he's pretty much a veteran at commentating and the commentary has always been like that. That being said I would love to see you do better lmao
TheIcedPeanut yeah I get he’s a smash veteran that’s great but his commentary is horrible .
REVOMusicSounds *do better then*
TheIcedPeanut hmmmm. I️ think HE should do better.
Kidnap lol
Jacked2k
Wow...666XX is finally happening! #soexcited
you guys should really work on those thumbnails.
DJ Nintendo dropping so much fake knowledge
I melee dead now?
Biospark no tf
Just boring since hungrybox kills all hype
how does hungrybox kill all hype? the way he destroys foxes is incredible
Yeah p much it was a good run
Eye Conqueror This wasn't very hyped. Hbox is just throttling fools left and right.
Can we just take M2K and PPMD's (Much love to Kevin, but he isn't active. Get well soon bro) "God status" and give it to Plup and Chu?
MageXamnin what? Chu does not deserve a god status
Hbox ResidentSleeper
Second
Hbox wins again. Thats...fun
You're looking like the 5 year olds in Smash 4 who would complain every time ZeRo won. Get over yourself: Hbox is easily the most aggressive player in the MIOM 50 right now. Even Mango was waiting for his approach. If that's not enough for you, then I'm not certain that this a game which you should be following.
Pizza Shark You shouldn't be following Melee if you think Hbox is the MOST aggressive player in the top 50 lol
Pizza Shark not even the most agressive player in the top 6. Most defensive player maybe because all he ever does is throw walls of bairs which are nearly noncommital btw
Pizza Shark but nobody is complaining when Armada wins every time... the reason people complain about Hbox always winning is because hes extremely boring, narcissistic, and a one-trick-pony. Maybe he'l get some more respect if he can actually prove himself with another character.

abelign character that has been in 2 grand finals of major tournaments in the last 5 Years, evo 2013 and Fly Amanita in early 2015. Stop trolling and man up.
Just don't like chudat anymore at all
SOMEONE SAVE MELEE
TeddyPicker191 **Looks at character diversity of this Top 8**
Done! Next question.
Hbox gave melee terminal cancer
By that logic melee would have received such "terminal cancer" back in 2007 (or was it 2008?), when he began to play.
Colin Lockhart imo armada and hbox....ruined the top level as they are the only ones who ever win these days.....
Benyan Yeah, like at Super Smash Con this year
First
Mang0 couldn’t pull through :(
Goodbye melee it was fun while it lasted
Jay V oh no Mang0 didn't win Melee IS dead :( , 12 btw
Jay V mango didn't win BabyRage team beer btw haHAA
Nah man, melee is more alive than it ever was.
2nd place is still respectable and frankly 2017 is probably the most consistent we've seen mang0 in a very long time results wise.
Armada is showing cracks in his armor,
Leffen has yet to truly come back
S2J, Axe, Sfat and other top 20 players are slowly inching closer.
Plup is now officially part of the very small group that has beat all the top 5
These top players all have their work cut out for them, 2018 is going to be absolutely insane man you''ll see.
Melee isn't much more alive than it was a year ago. Popularity and viewership has reached its plateau. Don't throw out random facts.
SK Not really, Mango was definitely more consistent in 2016 than 2017
No, I don't like the content. I only clicked this because apparently you put an embargo on Pengboys and Smasha... Just hire them if u mad ffs, they make way better videos.
T!TO well it shouldn't mean that they should put an embargo if that's what you think lol
TheIcedPeanut They literally take twitch's top videos (which the site seperates for you) and edit them together without any work, this is literally Gimr's content. You're back asswards dude.

Octavio Gonzalez and wtf is a back asswards lol
Kind of a disappointing tournament. Melee hasn’t been as interesting lately. 😕
It was pretty good imo. Lota of different characters being played and hype moments. I think it could have been way better if hungrybox wasnt there.
frick hbox haHAA notice me mango haHAA
Hbox is a buzzkill but he's damn good. Still a good tourney tho Axe vs SFAT was lit also the S2J combo stock off the tree was nutty
Anthony Porras um what? We saw zain, m2ks ganon, axe and mangos side characters, and some other interesting stuff.
There were 11 different characters in Top 8. What isn't interesting?
God I hate hungrybox
Hbox makes a good game so fucking boring
I used to think so too, but I have to admit these last few tournaments I've really enjoyed watching him. He's playing on another level and actually being pretty aggressive, instead of ledge camping all game.
