It's scary stuff when panic sets in. I've dealt with it myself at tournaments and it's impossible to tell when it'll hit. Heart starts racing, skipped beats, numbness, head fog... It's terrible. I have a lot of respect for DaJuan. I don't know if he's ever gone through anxiety himself, but he seemed to understand the situation very well and put the person first instead of the game. Hope LuigiKid keeps going to majors and overcomes this trial. He's awesome!
GimR: The VG Scientist I suffer from anxiety so I know how it feels I can't attend tourneys much now because of it majority of people don't understand that it's not just a game it's stressfull
Best match of Genesis 4 IMO, which is a shame because Grand Finals was Armada vs. Mang0 which, history considered, should've been the main event of the main event.
Watching Genesis 4 was amazing, I had some friends over and we just hung out, played melee, and watched the tournament until like 1 am. It was a great night.
Not a Bandwagoner if you think that was a choke, then you must not understand what a choke is. All of the first 3 games could have gone either way. S2j could have easily gotten 3-0d. I'm pretty sure s2j has only ever taken like 1 or 2 games off armada ever before this, so it's not surprising at all or a "choke" that armada made the comeback
B0gu5 _ I just mean that in game 3 he missed a knee in the last stock that would have won it. He was playing insane I really didn't mean he choked the set cuz armada is amazing, but he could've won
Not a Bandwagoner very true. But I don't think that knee would have killed. Armada was at like 60% on Dreamland, but it definitely lost him the game because he missed and got reverse edgeguarded. I don't blame him for going for that though
I lost my SHIT on the Mango Leffen set. The year just started and that might just be the set of the year. Then we have S2J taking Armada to a game 5? Like Jesus shit everyone came out to fucking play at G4. But back to the Mango and Leffen, who else almost had a fucking heart attack? Then we have Scar screaming lmfao he sounded like he went from commentating to spectator back to commentating. But my boy Mango did well! #TeamBeer
Despite the GFs probably one of the best top 8s ever in hindsight looking at these clips. Bobby Scar on complete form for the whole of it, you could feel him on the edge of his seat for Mango, barely allowing Toph a word in edgeways. '(pause) PLOT ARMOUR' 19:50
I'd say the best top 8 ever was The Big House 4. Literally every single set in top 8 there was amazing. If you haven't watched them yet, I highly recommend it.
+Wesley Crawford I give TBH4 the edge for top 8s, but Apex2015 also had the best salty suite of all time (and it was the first tournament I watched live so I have nostalgia for it), so I'd say they're equal in terms of overall awesomeness. I like TBH4's top 8 best though.
SSB_Seal I absolutely love BH 4 mango and m2k GFs was super cool, both playing at their peak for that year and keeping leffen under the gods not quite beating m2k yet. Apex the return of PP and the rise of leffen into a true force to be reckoned with
Mango's single grounded laser in that last game was such an insane bait. Not only did Leffen fall for it, but he was also on tilt for the rest of the game
Heh... I had a similar experience to LuigiKid after playing EVO Mortal Kombat X. I felt so weird, after losing my first match I felt dizzy... and nearly fainted. I fell to the ground. Then I came to and my parents were so shocked. It was strange, but I got back in it and won my next game. Wishin' ya the best luigikid.
Armada has only lost to 5 people in a serious tournament environment since Pound 4, which was several years ago. Anyone beating him is an upset and people root for the underdog. Most commentators would be biased towards The Player That Isn't Armada.
Yeesh, I've had bad panic attack where my hands and face go numb, and it would probably happen if I somehow made it on to the big stage. Can't really control it except to get out of there, it's unfortunate but I think Luigikid made the right choice.
Shouldn't have put the panic attack in the highlights video... That's not a highlight, that's one of the worst moments of that kid's life. I know you put that editor's note but still man wtf
Let's not speak for Luigi Kid. 30,000 people already saw it happen to him live, he also made a long tweet about the whole situation. He almost beat Shroomed and he deserves to be shown respect for being taken out by anxiety instead of his actual opponent. As someone who's suffered from anxiety before, yeah I don't want people to see it, but if it happened live in front of 30,000 people the cat is already out of the bag and we should bring light to it and praise him for doing so well despite this problem, instead of babying him.
I know it's only pools but scar wasn't even talking about or the match the majority of the time. Not really a good thing if they're trying to push this as an esport
Why not have the actual winner in the thumbnail? It would make more sense than having the loser in the thumbnail. Oh..right...people are obsessed with mangoes for whatever reason.
Toph PLEASE learn to recognize when to cut off small talk about irrelevant stuff, specially when someone else is talking about something important happening on a match, and please try not talk over people unless it's necessary. That's common courtesy. If you ever get to read this, please take it for what it is, constructive criticism. I understand is hard to be on the spotlight.
"I wanna talk about PPMD for a minute." Don't we all Scar?
Everyone Show Luigi Kid some love! He played his heart out: twitter.com/luigikid_smash
literally (but actually great player will be sure to send love)

S2J was so close to winning against armada 😞
And Leffen vs Mang0 has got to be one of the best sets ever
Best match of Genesis 4 IMO, which is a shame because Grand Finals was Armada vs. Mang0 which, history considered, should've been the main event of the main event.
MrGamerTH Leffen vs Mango and Mew2king vs Armada have to be 2 of the best sets ever
Watching Genesis 4 was amazing, I had some friends over and we just hung out, played melee, and watched the tournament until like 1 am. It was a great night.
SSB_Seal same.
That sounds amazing.
Wish i had pals who played/ were interested in Melee.
Scars frantic yells truly embody the essence of the last stock spaghetti. Bobby he goes ham at 22:37
"Oh my goodness that combo! Did you see that?!"
"I saw it but I wanna talk about PPMD"
Mang0 vs Leffen best set of G4 hands down
That s2j choke made me sad
Not a Bandwagoner if you think that was a choke, then you must not understand what a choke is. All of the first 3 games could have gone either way. S2j could have easily gotten 3-0d. I'm pretty sure s2j has only ever taken like 1 or 2 games off armada ever before this, so it's not surprising at all or a "choke" that armada made the comeback

B0gu5 _ Knee at 60% at the edge of Dreamland would probably kill.
Personally I thought he was aiming for a stomp and accidently knee'd which is both a choke and a would've been a definite kill.
Shout out to Shroomed for being such a cool dude to Luigi Kid and seeing that something was going down. Much love for both players
Respect to the camera men at 19:58 , if i were them i'd be flipping out, just drop the camera right there and hug everyone
Ethren - prolly saw it as some really good footage
Ethren - Well the cameraman probably isn't autistic like you
:(

That Leffen Mango set was so sick. Just beautiful melee

Johnny is crazy

Wishin' ya the best luigikid.
21:01 OOH, my GAWD. wut a BAYT
the mango leffen game 4 comeback was sooo dope
Mango lost the tournament
TwoSt3pProductions Yup, that is a fact.
Leffen really deserved the win vs Mang0 but the set was one of the best regardless
Did anyone else catch the Beatles reference at 18:42?
Oh god I wanted S2J to win that so bad. That would have been the upset to end all upsets.
It would've been fucking *insane.*
I stopped watching melee for like a year, and now everyone is fkin INSANE, 20XX is here
Much love to Lugi Kid. Keep moving foreward champ.
I was hyperventilating during the Armada vs. S2J set.
2:41 Okay Johnny that was sooooooooooooooo x 20XX sick
This may be stupid question, but what was the reason PPMD didn't come? I remember he said he probably could awhile before the tournament.
Seeing m2k smile at that cool PewPewU marth combo makes me happy
Hope Luigi kid is all good now
Yo shouts out to shroomed for being a real ass dude.
I was shaking like crazy watching S2J vs Armada. I wanted it so bad.
Can someone tell me what happened on 9:20 where he hits the aerial but pikachu doesnt get knocked over?
Alfredo Ochoa it was a phantom hit. it happens very rarely and takes away moves' knockback. its a glitch, not a game mechanic or gimmick.
thank you very much! ive been playing a lot lately and it keep happening kind of often and I didn't know why.
Why not adding a "Who won" screen at the end of each highlight?
Cototo Alegría Cause that'd be stupid
Terence Kelly I don't really have time to watch anything outside of top 8 so it'd be helpful
Just google something on the subreddit. If we put who won that frequently, the pacing of the video would be godawful
It would interrupt the flow the video. You can just look at the bracket it you want to know that.
VGBootCamp Highlights but don't make it so it interrupts the clips, just a fade in text on the lower corner of the screen
Great editing!
15:27 nice save toph
That mango vs leffen set...holy shit
11:05 Sheik's grab range > Marth's
Mango vs Leffen was by far the best set of the tourny holy shit.
The knee of a life time
"Wow Laser Forward Smash, what a cheesy technique"
I still can't believe that Mango vs Leffen set.
Johnny and jason were so close 😞😔
Adam not jason
3:26 Fking... Sneaky >:0
18:02 When shit gets real for Mango. Holy crap! O_o
Did Armada use fox at all in G4?
Edit: In singles, not doubles
Matt Hill I don't think he did. cuz he didn't run into hbox or leffen
Bro you gotta show who wins the sets
Armada vs S2J has to be the biggest upset of the year, and it's only January
globalHell yea, never thought armada could be beat s2j
globalHell s2j didn't win
and that is the reason why it's an upset. nobody wanted Armada to win this lmao
I wanted Armada to win.
Unpopular Opinion : I wanted Armada to win
My fucking god Mango just looked like Jesus in this tournament...
Anyone know what happened with luigikid?
CP Adagio he was dq'd for leaving the stage after having a panic attack
I hope G5 gets new top 8 commentators.
I'm sick of hearing the bias towards players Paul and HMW prefer.
Who is Paul? You mean Phil?
damn you, paul!
Armada has only lost to 5 people in a serious tournament environment since Pound 4, which was several years ago. Anyone beating him is an upset and people root for the underdog. Most commentators would be biased towards The Player That Isn't Armada.
Have you watched G1? Lmao, if that's what you want, we've came a long way already.
Nice one
Yeesh, I've had bad panic attack where my hands and face go numb, and it would probably happen if I somehow made it on to the big stage. Can't really control it except to get out of there, it's unfortunate but I think Luigikid made the right choice.
Poor Luigikid :(
Mango vs leffen was intense holy crap
18:12 damn
What the fuck was that s2j armada set?!
Mango should of went Falco. Armada had Leffen for fox practice and testing. Too bueno
mango leffen was one of the best sets ever
Shine out of shield! AAAAH
Yo my man Shroomed us a nice guy. Because 76% of any other players there would say its a bluff and kick Luigkid
I literally had to skip past the S2J vs Armada match in this video... It just hurts too much....
David Brooke same lmao
Lol reading this now made me say “wait, Ultimate wasn’t released yet!”
*sees armada s2j*
*skips*
Man, Mango got fuuuuuuucked during GFs. But it makes me happy that Armada won, he does deserve it more than anyone else.
FireAssasin Idk man, m2k has really improved. It only his mental game but his actual gameplay as well. His set vs armada was actually very nice.
that leffen vs Mang0 set....
And ppl try to say E-sports ain't a thing...
Shouldn't have put the panic attack in the highlights video... That's not a highlight, that's one of the worst moments of that kid's life. I know you put that editor's note but still man wtf
Duncan Ryan ikr

LuigiKid Kreygasm
To add to this I also asked LuigiKid on twitter and he was ok with and I believe appreciated it. Much love
Remzi H. Well my B, it seemed inappropriate but I didn't know the full story
Leffen choked sooooo hard game 5 vs Mango. Watch it, he does like 3 HORRIBLE nairs and gets shied out of shield every time.
trey fawley yeah he really did
Scars commentary...I can't do it anymore turning into LuigiKid
18:13 scripted
Dm casting 😫
who else could see scar as a wwe commentator 😂
Plup always bodies leffen lol
Armada wins. What else is new? Lul. Waiting for the return of PPMD ;_;
S2J did better than Mang0. 20GX
Ben James *against Armada
Funny that S2J isn't part of the 20GX movement lol
The grand final was pretty anti climactic. was hoping it would at least be a good back and fourth
I know it's only pools but scar wasn't even talking about or the match the majority of the time. Not really a good thing if they're trying to push this as an esport
Dang it I was rooting for leffen all the way
:D

Why not have the actual winner in the thumbnail? It would make more sense than having the loser in the thumbnail. Oh..right...people are obsessed with mangoes for whatever reason.
TwoSt3pProductions He had the best set of the tourney, that's why
