Depending on how you see it, Armada's sheer dominance lasted longer then mangos, now that mango is back and kicking, it's much easier to see him as the best, but in his prime i think Armada was the greatest player ever.
@@LSHFT_Eido NGL I was a big Toph hater in the Melee Hell days but he truly has just gotten better and 2019+ Toph, and particularly post covid Toph, is a commentator to finally stand with the likes of Scar and HMW

That HBox Evo run is still my favorite smash moment of all time. It's so gratifying seeing a man who has been trying so hard for so long to make it, a guy who's put everything into the game well past the point of it making sense, finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Man the HBox ones are the most hype for me. Been an HBox fan since 2012 and I still remember watching him win Evo 2016, the most surreal moment to see your favorite player finally make it. And no I’m not a Puff main 😂

tge most monumental moment for me would be when East coast and west coast met up for the first time ever in a crew battle and Isai took like 12 stocks or something. or just revival of melee in general
I remember Axe vs Silent Wolf happening right when I was first getting into the Melee scene and I remember thinking "HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME". Really weird to think how much time has passed since then lol
20:52 This is super random but I just happened to glance over at HBox's hands and HOLY CRAP can we talk about his alien fingers?! It looks like his middle finger is sentient and trying to break free
I don't remember seeing all the hate for that guy until recently. Did yall find out he's a "homophobe" or some other "-phobe" or "-ist" word? Every other comment is about that guy getting beat
@@fallenabr7654 it's because he's just a bad person in general lmao, but yes someone being a homophobe would be a valid reason to dislike them! But in leffen's case, there's nothing on that front that I've heard of so far. The biggest scandal that I can think of recently is when he tried getting into another FG, calling it trash because he wasn't automatically good at it right away, and when a pro player tried telling him the strats... Well, leffen begun making fun of them in chat and sent his followers to harass the player.
@@fallenabr7654theres so much stuff. Leffen having bad sportsman ship, sharking the rules, botting his social media, strong opinions of games and players etc.

thanks for this. it's been years since i watched one of these compilation videos it brings me back to the days when lud was making them. special time it was much simpler
What about S2J losing a match because of the invisible ceiling glitch? Perfect clip for this. Also, there was a 2v2 match with Ken and Azen. One of the Marths saved the other by accident, allowing a comeback
Yeah i def need to add those, I put them in my list for my next video similar to this one, Ken Isai versus Azen and he gets the reverse up b to force ken to save him, innovator of the decade.
Don't know why I got this, I barely play smash as it is but these old clips are sicko as fuck. Something I never would have seen growing up, even through the shitty recordings, you can just feel the energy in that room whenever something amazing happens
It's crazy seeing a bunch of amazing clips, some that I've seen before, and some that I've never seen before from the past decade or more of this games history right next to Amsa's recent win at big house.

Best part is that instead of that final "Down air" he screamed like a mad lad.
@@Serfo_ full animal
Melee history is just so full of clips of Leffen getting epically dunked.
truly, even in the recent years ever since winning evo and switching to GGS he's fallen off hard.
Its been lowkey good for the scene to have a guy who is consistently top 5 but doesnt win alot where it is so satisfying when he loses😂

fallen off in terms of winning Evo, vanishing and then having a hard time making top 8.

truly a memorable Evo win indeed
You know it's a good melee comp when it starts with a leffen 4 stock
there are like 2-3 of those in this video lol

4:10 Idk, the way he said "pica pica"... 😂😂😂
I just love how in the last clip, after hbox survived the up air with immaculate sdi you can see him smile as if he just knows he’s gonna win.
he started laughing. if you look at his armada Evo win he was like in tears before his clutch reset.
He knows that armada missed his chance bc he missed a rest opportunity a couple seconds before, and he knows armada is tilted for that
I’ll never quite get over the disrespect at 13:45.
The crowd groans collectively and even HMW, of all people, is left speechless at what Mango did.
