people really underestimate how much m2k knows about the game and how great of a coach he is. your sets in top 8 were the highlights of the whole thing for me. love to see you so invested and passionate about melee again!
@@Zoro_Roronoa_115 i think a lot of newer players do and some older ones dont remember. im not saying they think hes washed but because people dont see him play as much, its easier to forget.
I always thought of m2k since retirement as the ancient hermit living high in the mountains, dispensing his wisdom to thoes who listen. This video confirms this.
I know so many people who think he's washed and he doesn't remember the game and he doesn't know what he's talking about (namely the Milwaukee Melee community) and they're literally just making shit up. M2K has forgotten more about the game than most people will ever know
BRO HYPE AFFFFF. I screamed so loud after the 1st game comeback in winners that my wife got startled. I told her "babe, this guy on screen is a LEGEND." Unfortunately, she didn't quite get it and just hit me with the "that's nice dear." My point, even random housewifes are aware of the rest heard around the world! HGOD
You guys play so ridiculously fast that even when you break it down like this and pause it frame by frame, I'm still confused as to what's going on, and how quick things happen. Like, you guys have the reaction times of F1 drivers. Superhuman. It's insanely impressive. How much of this is instinct at this point, with you having played the game for nearly a quarter of a century now? And how much is you actually thinking just hyper fast, like when you talk about how you can decide in the very last split second where you want that Rest to hit so that you can react to their DI. Either way it's insanely impressive.
I feel the same way when watching Tetris. However, unlike Tetris this game has some infinite number of possible outcomes depending on spacing and other very minute details. Not to mention that you aren’t playing against a predictable game, but rather an actual person. To not only have to be able to think and react at an incredible level is one thing, but to do it all the while needing to predict, read, and learn your opponent’s tendencies is crazy.
@@brehella770don't get me wrong, melee is hard - but anyone can pick up the game and understand it IMO. The reason why the game looks so incomprehensible to an untrained eye is because there's simply a lot to know.
It's the hours of practice and planning and thinking and analysis that let instinct be that fast. But when it's go time? Be ready and let your hands sing
I used to hate seeing you win all the time pre-COVID, but my god, seeing you clutch on these kids and your bracket demon, Cody, no less was an absolute joy to watch. I can't get over how insanely clutch you were in game 1. I know you're the ClutchGod, but damn! Beautiful stuff man, keep it up! :)
This is showing how fun your jigglypuff CAN BE. The different setups and more advanced tech. This is peak puff. Actually fun to watch and insane tech with the instant turn arounds and the SHMIXES.
You never lost it man, you're still the GOAT. If you ever went back to grinding like you used to, no one would stand a chance. I'm glad to see you just having fun these days though instead of stressing. And whenever you show up like this, I just consider it a rare treat 🙌
I was watching this at collision! It was so hype! We were rooting for you hbox! Also I’ve never seen that many people in a venue root for my man. The room was divided
One of the best vids I’ve seen in a while. I also feel like the post grand finals hbox cheer itself deserves a video. Brought tears to my eyes to see hbox in that spot after all this time
@TheJawRaw I don't know if you're being sarcastic but I meant that as Juan's arc for me personally is becoming someone I want to cheer for for the good of the game, coming from a player I usually cheered against from 2013-2019.
12:37 After 11 years of waiting, it was Hungrybox who read the roll. Redemption. No but honestly, this tourney felt like a big breakthrough. Hopefully more big tourney runs to come in the future!
Hearing the crowd cheering for Hbox was incredible. I think its been a while since Cody faced hbox in "I actually want to win mode" and I have heard that hbox in that mode is insane and makes it hard to play him. I have heard hbox is like a wild animal when in this mode and grunts and has heavy breathing which is honestly incredible and I love it.
Even though you lost against Zain, it was still some of the closest sets you two have had as well. Genuinely at this rate you can beat both of them next time you play! Keep at it you got this Hbox!!!
What I wouldn't give to record top-level smashers with such different playstyles wearing eye trackers. When do they flick to the stock and damage counters? When do they watch their opponent's movement, when do they check their own position on stage? When are they checking the timer on Yoshi's Story? When are they watching for stage hazards?
13:11 Instead of accepting his loss, the first thing Codys ego controls him to do is grab THE OTHER PERSONS CONTROLLER WHILE THEYRE POPPING OFF in an attempt to invalidate his loss. Cody is in pure stunlock at that point jfc

Hey M2K
Thank you Mew2King

Even though he doesn’t compete anymore I’m not sure if there’s a person with a deeper understanding of each character than him
i think so too LOL
@@TheRealMew2king the one true King coaching the H-god is unbelievably hype. We love you Jason!
I always thought of m2k since retirement as the ancient hermit living high in the mountains, dispensing his wisdom to thoes who listen. This video confirms this.
M2K has to be the most knowledgeable melee player that has ever existed. The dude literallt knows every corner of the game.
I know so many people who think he's washed and he doesn't remember the game and he doesn't know what he's talking about (namely the Milwaukee Melee community) and they're literally just making shit up. M2K has forgotten more about the game than most people will ever know
He basically built the melee equivalent of the library of Alexandria back in the early 2000s.

Hgod had that thang on him to beat Cody 😂
Clapping that thang 😂

Got me hungry for his box

what does mew2king have to do with this. is this some sort of inside joke or no
He was coaching hbox this tournament iirc @@drewlincoln8110
@@drewlincoln8110idk but I know he knows M2k very well
@@drewlincoln8110M2k has been giving him coaching
@@drewlincoln8110mew2king coached HBox for the first time in a while for this event
Man seeing hbox getting cheered by the crowd after all he went is just an incredible comeback
m2k been unironically pulling the strings on the meta even without playing
Always was. Even when he was still playing he coached a lot of the best players at various points including Wizzrobe, MKleo, Zer0 and Armada
The crowd coming alive for Hbox was absolutely amazing and wholesome.
"I don't know why I was mashing grab" that's the m2k influence
BRO HYPE AFFFFF.

HGOD
Mew2kings metafy bio says he is the best smash coach by a solid margin. Sounds arrogant, but my God does he back that up. 😂
The gods doing a fusion dance is amazing.
Hbox playstyle with m2ks various tips and tricks just has so much potential imo
Mang0 needs coaching from Mr. Killbot himself... it's time for big leff to step it up and coach the 🐐
The fans being on your side chanting for you is worth more than 1st place. Big ups HBOX mad love for you from us day one fans

Your player picture for the Collision thumbnail is like that meme “When you beat the washed allegations”
Me: Opens TH-cam
TH-cam: "Hungrybox uploaded 18 seconds ago"
Me: "Don't mind if I do"
I'm right there with ya
“Ooo piece of candy”

I'm mainly a fan of Ultimate, but the rare times when I watch some melee, you're the only one I'm interested in seeing do well🙂
Hbox, Mang0 and Zain are the ones that out up the most entertaining sets
Hbox really went from optimistic to locked in to nah I'd win, smiling mischievously by the second stock, wished I saw this set live.
Hbox stays reminding people why he was a Melee god
Edit: Sorry, I didn't mean to say, was, IS a Melee God
It was so surreal hearing a melee crowd chant Hungrybox
The dumptruck at the end had me dying lmfao
That 19 seconds of melee was nasty my boy. His name is Clutch Box for a reason 🗿
That donation was crazy
I was watching this at collision! It was so hype! We were rooting for you hbox! Also I’ve never seen that many people in a venue root for my man. The room was divided

Hbox we love seeing you love melee !
God Tier editing and God Tier gameplay. Only ClutchBox
I can't believe I want to see you win a major in 2024. That set was absolutely vintage.
Brilliant comment
@TheJawRaw I don't know if you're being sarcastic but I meant that as Juan's arc for me personally is becoming someone I want to cheer for for the good of the game, coming from a player I usually cheered against from 2013-2019.
Tbh, i never cheered for you hbox, but in those 20 seconds, you got me hyped up mad.
I just so happen to tune in at the beginning of this match. It was sick AF! I was shouting for you the whole time! Lmao
I've never seen a melee player in a TH-cam ad before. I got an Hbox Motocompacto commercial lol
Good stuff! Glad to see you still wrecking the best Foxes. Can never count out HGod
This was the sickest Melee I've seen in months. I was nearly checked out, but you gave me hope for 2024, Hbox.
Hbox has that DUMPY🥵🥵🥵 truly an inspiration to us puff mains out there, keep grinding techs
best hbox vid i have seen in a minute, goat.
You gotta give your editor a raise
Thank you Mew2King
I love that Hbox went so deep into the emotion and process of a PRE-popoff 😂
One of the best sets plus one of the best dump trucks.
Let's go Juan, good shit man, this set was so hype

Optimistic/Locked in was SO noticable....
It's like when they had to re-do Sonic for the movie
Hbox will one day send Cody back to law school
Shoutout to mew2king OOOOOWWAAAAAA
My man had all of the plot armor just for 10 seconds
13:38 HUH? XD fking amazing matches.
“How I redeemed myself” like he wasn’t the one who won the set 😭
The Mew2King edits had me rolling lol. Also CakeBox lol
I keep telling you guys. Everytime M2K coaches someone, they pop the frick off!
It's okay Hbox, you don't have to be ashamed of being caked up out the wazoo.
Gah dayum...
This vid, particularly around the end just had me edging. 😂
0:54 Hbox Enters the Avatar State
He never deserved the hate. Litteraly single handedly carrying puff on melee
CLUTCHBOX such a legend!
Even though you lost against Zain, it was still some of the closest sets you two have had as well. Genuinely at this rate you can beat both of them next time you play! Keep at it you got this Hbox!!!
Jumpy Dumpy
I lost my shit when I saw how the back of his pants moved while he was jumping up and down.
Thank you Mew2king
Oh my god, the clutch was real on that first set xD
😱 the box is hungry again

It's amazing how Juan was beating the best fox in the world in 2016, and here we are 8 years later, and he's still doing the same thing.
that 19 sec was great, even i popped off
The M2K sound with his picture is just too good 😂😂💀
M2k “IM JUST TRYING TP HELLLLLPPP”
Devious ahh Hungrybox for the win 😈😈😈
Clutchbox has entered the house
That was a great set, we’ll done
that reverse dash attack was odee

Oh yes, the confusion technique.
Hbox will be ranked 1 by 2025
Bro I just got done watching the game! You played crazy!!!
This tournament was so hype
you get grabbed once by puff: so you have chosen, death?
If Hbox gets to number one again with M2K coaching it won’t be long before people want to ban coaching in smash 😂
THE HBOX DUMPTRUCK REVEAL WHEN???
This is fking sick! Makes me almost wanna learn the game. But it's just so hard to get in.
And that’s the reason that no matter who number one is, I’m always cheering for clutchbox
You did NOT need to slow down the jumps for us brother!
He’s called Clutchbox for a a reason! 👍
clutchbox
U can see Hbox Ultimate gameplay mixed in with his melee
Simply Legendary
Meanwhile mango: “i just didnt want to win enough, i didnt get outplayed, i just dont want to win.”
You fool, you see I’ve already depicted myself as the chad and you as the soyjack!
thumbnail is like The Virgin Cody Schwabbington vs The Chad Hgod
Can we get your sets on here? That was some of the greatest melee I’ve ever seen.
Cody has to be fuming. I’m waiting for him to go on his Leffen arc lol
That thumbnail tho. 😂
Hbox, you're insane.
Nah that thumbnail is disrespectful 😂
