When Armada retired, we lost more than a top player of Melee. We lost a shining example of what playing Melee is all about. We’ll miss you Armada. Cheers
I'm not. This video made him look a sore looser. I definitely don't like the "If not first, then you're last mentality" this guy seems to have. Seriously, who gets upset at getting second at a huge Tournament? Except your defeat graciously and move on. Don't cry about it in stage.
That was a doubles game, but it was down to 1-stock on each side, so two of the players were out. You can clearly see them sitting there, though, not playing.
@@codesymphony yea it definitely seemed like they skimped on m2k's video, but then again samox did such a good one on m2k with the smash documentary that it was hard for them to say anything that hasnt already been said on him
I honestly think HBox has one of the best storylines in Melee right now. From "always a bridesmaid never a bride" to number one in the world for the first time ever just this year. All the while giving up a bright future in engineering to pursue Melee. You can feel how you want about his playstyle, but his story is so good.
Tselel I use to have a small issue with his playstyle. But now I recognize his GAME PLAY is sick. But he is such a shit person. Oh my Lord. Like him breaking down at Evo. Hugging Zain. Surprise host at super smash con awards. He hogs so much screen time and like refuses to play friendlies so ppl can't play the best puff. Wat human trash.....nice back air tho
How is that being a shit person? Breaking down at evo, i saw that as very humanising and an awesome moment. Not playing friendlies? It's his career! He has a niche character and until others figures it out he shouldn't have any obligations to give them anything. It's a COMPETITION, do what's necessary to win. How can you not respect that? (I'm not even a big hbox fan, i'm just sick of the senseless hate)
@@AHGavInDaUSA as far as I remember, the sniper nickname didn't come up from melee. It kind of just started getting mentiond by casters at melee tournaments. But I wasn't watching a lot of brawl/project/minus coverage back then, so take this with a grain of salt
I commented this elsewhere, but Armada is only melee player to ever 3peat a national and he has done it at two different tournament series. He also won 4 Smash Summits in a row.
I think that PPMD deserves a video more than any smash player currently playing, a lot of newer players only hear his name in passing and it's a crying shame.
lol are you new around here? plup and leffen may be at that level but they arent considered apart of the original gods, and how could you not list PPMD thats just disrespectful.
armada is one of the reasons I picked up peach. I've learned alot watching all the smash gods. but every time I see armada play it just gets me soo hyped. love this guy!
I'm 12 and just won a local tournament here in Houston. The...feeling you get when you win your first tournament against people way older than you is just... unexplainable.
Such a great competitor, hes traveling to north america for his passion and putting a lot of time in the game and hes always so humble. Good shit armada if you ever read this, you are a role model, big respect to you!
After watching all the "story of" videos of the 5 God's, knowing the whole history of Smash in one conclusive timeline makes it really satisfying. Thank you for your hard work.
I wish I knew of competitive smash sooner. I would have liked to see Armada's rise. I missed so much, but at least I know his history. Truly my favorite melee God/Player.
Who is this girl? She's in so many vods, even with PPMD at Civil War all the way in Virginnia. I figured if she's a player and on that grind we'd know her tag or something but she's EVERYWHERE. The curiosity is killing me. 11:20 Sitting between Westballz and the Oomba guy 12:07 Sitting next to M2k

Imagine being a young melee fan, your teacher is sick for the day, and into your classroom walks Armada.
Coach McGuirk omg that would be so fucking beautiful
Screw the lesson plan today kids. I am going to teach you how to Melee.
Coach McGuirk Yoo
lol, that would be an awesome day indeed
smiple you know Armada’s the kind of teacher who sticks to the lesson plan tho
When Armada retired, we lost more than a top player of Melee. We lost a shining example of what playing Melee is all about.
We’ll miss you Armada. Cheers
Haha *shining*
He'll come back.
They always come back
He'll come back. He allways have, and allways will
Melee fans forget about smash ultimate, don’t they?
Armada's so sick. I can't believe how modest he is about his Evo loss to Hbox. What a god.
I'm guessing that's sarcasm? Because I don't like this guy one bit after this video.
for real? what makes you say that? I've been an Armada fan for a while to be fair so maybe the video presents him worse than I experienced
I mean clearly Seth isn't apart of the community so he likely doesn't know who Armada really is.
I'm not. This video made him look a sore looser. I definitely don't like the "If not first, then you're last mentality" this guy seems to have. Seriously, who gets upset at getting second at a huge Tournament? Except your defeat graciously and move on. Don't cry about it in stage.
PLUS, how the hell was he modest about his defeat when he was crying about it? That's not being modest.
“He only entered doubles at apex 2013” *shows footage of him in grand finals of singles at apex 2013 while saying it
Hoenn101 he did that at Apex 2014. I think it was just a mistake in the video.
That was a doubles game, but it was down to 1-stock on each side, so two of the players were out. You can clearly see them sitting there, though, not playing.
he won apex 2013 lmao, he retired right after.
@@Bluhbear have you played doubles before? Lol. Those are coaches; they don't have player symbols filling up the bottom section of the screen
This was much better than m2k’s. Armada’s story never been told in such an engaging narrative
m2k's video just painted him as a villain and then the video ended lol. there's so much more to m2k's story, thescore did not do him justice
@@codesymphony yea it definitely seemed like they skimped on m2k's video, but then again samox did such a good one on m2k with the smash documentary that it was hard for them to say anything that hasnt already been said on him
You didn't see the bronol's documentary
gods dont always come from greatness, sometimes, they come from Sweden.
Exakt!
(Exactly in swedish)
The two words are interchangeable
do all five gods
Dont forget leffen pls
Leffen aint a god
Leffen is to smash gods as loki is to norse mythology
leffen already has a 100 different documentaries about him if u wanna go watch them search it up
DO PPMD!!!!!!!
I wish this covered his Project M career, that's how he got the Swedish Sniper nickname after all.
I honestly think HBox has one of the best storylines in Melee right now. From "always a bridesmaid never a bride" to number one in the world for the first time ever just this year. All the while giving up a bright future in engineering to pursue Melee.
You can feel how you want about his playstyle, but his story is so good.
aye that, & even if the playstyle is meh sometimes, sometimes when he goes in it can be pure gold
i mean he its not like he gave up engineering altogether. He can always go back if he feels he needs to or something
With reads and reaction times worthy of a god.
Tselel I use to have a small issue with his playstyle. But now I recognize his GAME PLAY is sick. But he is such a shit person. Oh my Lord. Like him breaking down at Evo. Hugging Zain.

(I'm not even a big hbox fan, i'm just sick of the senseless hate)
his reaction at 14:46 was just so heartwarming. you can see the raw emotion
Too bad Project M has been erased from history. "The Swedish Sniper" name came from Armada's Pit arrows but no one would know that from this video
Not from the game he played before that, Melee, with his main throwing turnips?
@@AHGavInDaUSA as far as I remember, the sniper nickname didn't come up from melee. It kind of just started getting mentiond by casters at melee tournaments. But I wasn't watching a lot of brawl/project/minus coverage back then, so take this with a grain of salt
@@AHGavInDaUSA It actually did originate from his Pit in PM. Melee casters just adopted the name for his turnip throws.
2015 Armada is the most dominant player that melee has ever seen imo.
2016 and early 2017*
2015 PP won apex and also leffen
Late 2014 Mang0
uh ken?
@@skylarfox_bmb 2005 Ken is probably the most dominant. You are right
2017-2019 Hungrybox has something to say about that
also, "whatever he needed to find, he did..." FOX, it WAS FOX
I commented this elsewhere, but Armada is only melee player to ever 3peat a national and he has done it at two different tournament series. He also won 4 Smash Summits in a row.
lemur918 hasn’t Mang0 won 4 big houses? Unless you mean in a row
Me retarded and didn’t look at the comment date. But even then he would have won 2.4.6 right?
@@PKMNTrainerVic Years later but a 3peat implies consecutive wins.
I think that PPMD deserves a video more than any smash player currently playing, a lot of newer players only hear his name in passing and it's a crying shame.
3:51 “Europe’s Best Smasher”
You got that right
“It was through his siblings he learned about smash”
Alabama 100
I'm an Alabama wobbler and I wanna be freee
I would love armada to be my substitute teacher
Remember that kid from Stuart Little? This is him now. Feel old yet?
LMFAO
Its Rumspringa underrated comment
#yiayold
Please do more Melee content. Also do all 5 Gods
There is actually 6 gods armada mang0 leffen plup m2k hbox
lol are you new around here? plup and leffen may be at that level but they arent considered apart of the original gods, and how could you not list PPMD thats just disrespectful.
Honestly Tactical_Turtle. This is just so uniformed.
Tactical_Turtle the 5 gods are PPMD Mango M2K Armada Hbox. Plup and leffen are not gods, the title currently being given to them is god slayers
Tactical_Turtle watch some PP Vods and you will understand
So sad watching this now that he's retired AGAIN
but still... it was not enough
armada is one of the reasons I picked up peach. I've learned alot watching all the smash gods. but every time I see armada play it just gets me soo hyped. love this guy!
Awesome mini-doc. He's a god, but is a level-headed dude that shares his knowledge/insights, that's what I like him about the most.
BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH !
It was enough, but it was not enough!
Gabriel Brunet I was looking for this comment lol
Grib Gaming Ahahaha me too
I'm 12 and just won a local tournament here in Houston.
The...feeling you get when you win your first tournament against people way older than you is just... unexplainable.
Just casually talking to your friend in class about melee when the sub walks over.
Armada: I’m the best player in the world...
Awesome video showing one for the best melee player of all. Now we wait for Hbox
I am loving these SSBM documentary-style videos, keep it up!
can we talk about at 13:17 with hungrybox and leffen having legit smiles for armada winning?
Leffen smiling so nice was cute though too. Honestly Armada is just such a class act, who could hate him?
Brilliant channel, love these videos
Men that Armada vs Hungrybox set at EVO got me goosebumps everytime i think about it
YESSSSS!!! MOAR SMASH PLZ
“No one quits melee entirely, no one does” :(
PPMD nxt pls
Such a great competitor, hes traveling to north america for his passion and putting a lot of time in the game and hes always so humble. Good shit armada if you ever read this, you are a role model, big respect to you!
Gotta love Armada's collectiveness during wins and losses.
I don't watch Smash Bros Melee, but much respect to this guy's story.
Armada and m2k are super nerdy looking in the beginning of doc
After watching all the "story of" videos of the 5 God's, knowing the whole history of Smash in one conclusive timeline makes it really satisfying. Thank you for your hard work.
Great video! Superb editing and just overall great.
I’m a Mango sub, but to me Armada is the GOAT
ItsBigPanda Armada is the BOAT. Mango is the GOAT.
Mostly because Mangoat and the whole boat pun. 👌
Well in that case, BOAT > GOAT
Armada is no doubt better than Mango. But I'd argue that Mango is no doubt greater than Armada.
Everyone is a mango's sub
*Best Of All Time* for sure
Here after hearing of Armada’s retirement :’(
Imagine being so damn good that a 5th place at a major/supermajor is your worst performance
It's Armada
For exemple Mang0 was at 65th place at super smash con 2018 the last tournament Armada entered and won before his retirement in 2018
This was very inspiring. I am from Sweden and i thought there were no tournaments here.
Apex 2014 Project M Grand Finals is one of the most iconic moments in Smash for me.
I wish I knew of competitive smash sooner. I would have liked to see Armada's rise. I missed so much, but at least I know his history. Truly my favorite melee God/Player.
I hope to meet some of my idols one day. You included Armada.
But was it enough?
He made the m2k video
IT WAS NOT ENOUGH
He made the Armada video
IT WAS NO5 ENOUGH
Remember when Peach vs Puff at Genesis could be hype?
You know you're good when you win so much and get bored of everyone else and give yourself time to chill and live life before competing again.
You should do a video on the different gods of video games, I.e. The 5 fighting game gods of Japan and the 5 smash gods.
Armada in 2017: No one quits Melee entirely.
Me in 2020: There's hope for him to come back!
If there is one thing I dream it’s to challenge one of these gods...
And then get dropped horribly. It’ll be awesome.
Oh hell yeah
You guys should do one on Dennis Hawelka
We get it, it wasnt enough
MANGO EPISODE PLZ
Anyone who can master Peach is a force to be reckoned with. Still my fav character to this day
I wish he would have embraced his “villain” role and stayed in community. He was beloved we just show it different.
Just imagine knowing you have a sub, them Armanda walks in your class 😂
i like how the fist minute is just styling on leffen
Not enough "enough's''
Gluto in Ult seems to be doing kinda the same as Armada : he's the best in Europe, but in the US he doesn't win majors yet
Anyone else think HungryBox over reacted on that Evo 16 win a bit for the "clips"? It just looked rehearsed.
BRUDDER
Why does this only have 400k views? Thought it would be past million by now
I remember playing as Peach back then and thinking she was very underrated. Players always passed over her to choose their stalwart Fox.
“No one quits Melee entirely.”
I’m hoping that Armada will make a return one day.
You know....... When this pandemic is over.
Welp
Armada is the Edge of the Smash community. Quite the coincidence I make that comparison given that both their first names are Adam.
amazing video, thanks for the melee content. I already know all this shit but its great to see it in a more professional manner.
You know you’re coming back here after the news.
loving the smash content !
Let’s do a challenge!
Every time they say ‘It’s not enough’ you take a shot.
The Swedish Sniper
The Swedish betrayal
Your credit to Amazing Shadow is incorrect. That video is a reupload of an East Point Pictures Project
I was right there when he won Apex 2013. It was pandemonium!
XD They did leffen dirty for the first minute. Almost all the clips were on l3ff XD
13:00
Taught the young Leffen respect when losing 👏🏽
Armada is a god and his humbleness against Hbox shows his true character🔥🙏
And just like that Armada's Genesis streak is over
We need more smash,FGC or not,we are all a community of Esports,we must grow together
Look at this Peco. Look at this fucking hero.
Do one on William Hjelte
Large William?
Leffen has way too many documentaires about him already
Big leff bois
BIG LEFFEB
I'd rather he do leffen tbh :/
"Second is never enough" I wonder how Armada felt being 2nd best in the world last year..
Edant I think he achieved what he’s wanted to in Smash, I think he’s probably okay with it. More so than he used to be before being a smash champion.
Damn man, giving birth to 10 kids must wreck things down there
Imagine going to school and the substitute is FUCKING ARMADA
8:59 that’s definitely ninja
Do one on everyone cause this shit is dope.
They were naming all of the 1st place finishes he had but had gameplay of him getting REKT in the background
Imagine just being Armada, going to your grandparent's for 1,000 dollars, just to go to a smash tournament
There's a typo in the English closed captions at 3:46 AMSA was not playing in Europe at that time, rather Amsah was.
Fun little fact: almost every single placement is 1st to 5th
Just realized the first time Armada won a tournament in the US is where I live
Just realized but why at 5:57 Jiggz hud is Kirby?
It's a glitch
Who is this girl? She's in so many vods, even with PPMD at Civil War all the way in Virginnia. I figured if she's a player and on that grind we'd know her tag or something but she's EVERYWHERE. The curiosity is killing me.
11:20 Sitting between Westballz and the Oomba guy
12:07 Sitting next to M2k
I still get hyped on by his chants
0:33 Sad Mang0 :'c
feeling like this was recorded on a blue yeti
Rip armada you’ll never be forgotten
