my original post before evo says i'm sure they're all good guys. Evo changed my belief. He's not an a-hole or anything of that nature, but he genuinely carries himself as though he's better than others
The nicest people have depression. It's not fair. Hopefully he's not so depressed now. PPMD is probably my favourite Smash God now recently. He's so chill, and humble. The best qualities in a person honestly.
What an excellent interview between Serge (Lucario) and Darkfall (Link) - Serge's insight has been amazing throughout the whole thing, and Darkfall really helped with his questioning. Excellent work VGBootCamp. FeelsBadMan
I wasn't ever a big fan of PP until he disappeared for a while. I watched quite a bit of his games when he wasn't around and man, he was just SO good. It's hard not to like the guy. I probably wasn't crazy about him cause he would beat my favorite players, but now he's one of my favorites to watch. His reaction time is so good and he just plays so intelligently. Before the tournament I was thinking it would be really awesome if he were to win.
:((( He's so anxious about being on the mic and having the weight of 116,000 people watching. He's a fucking genius and a madman when he plays tho, so dominant at this event
damnn hella glad i watched this. I think pp goes to ham on popoffs from time to time, but definitely a down to earth dude, that little part about acceptance training was actually quite profound. like that really is training that can be done every day.
2:12 "because he had so many opportunities to run I was watching how he was getting away, so I figured out a lot of how he was playing". This is what seperates PP from most players. Amazing studying skills even during matches.
i think i remember gimr coming in at the end and saying like it was the 2015 stream and it was like 3am in the morning. I fell asleep watching top 8 but woke up for that lil tidbit.
I'd be so chill with PPMD. I'm cool with dudes like him. Easily approachable, down to earth, kind. But he'd whoop yo ass in a video game and that's where the badassery comes in, lmao!
Seems like these guys think very mechanically. When I play sport, I basically don't think. I just play, it's natural. I think a little bit but not too much. Seems like PPMD is really good watching his opponent and analysing data.
+cpthurme That act of it being "natural" is actually being really good at watching your opponents and analysing data. You do it the same way. The data is just less organic in smash, than in a physical sport. But still pretty organic-- he's analysing someone's decision making, how someone adapts--- he is like a wolf watching a fawn.
Jyft Isn't that amazing anymore? Just a short while prior at Paragon 2015 the guy got 1st in PM 1st in SSB4 and 2nd in Melee. Lets be fair here. He's still crazy good.
So I was gonna get an Asus monitor for Smash, but if it's not good what monitor should I get? I don't get the refresh thing for the monitor. Can someone please help me with this?
***** what? Bullcrap, there are tournaments in raleigh all the time. PPMD lives in an apartment with two other smashers, in apartment complex with like 13 smashers all in walking distance. There is always smash being played. Hell, last weekend we had a 100+ person local
I would like to know this as well. I bought a BenQ monitor and I would like to know if this is affecting me. I want to enter a tournament and I don't want to be so off when I play on a CRT.
+Judai64 Yes, CRT monitors have zero display lag, while the display on any HD monitor, even super high quality ones, would at the least be roughly 1 frame. Because the game looks no better on an HD monitor than a CRT, and because the CRT has less lag, and because CRTs are so much cheaper, they only play on them at tournaments. However, if you play on a BenQ and you want to enter a tournament you will perform just as well on a CRT. CRTs also have a different refresh pattern, which can mess up people when they switch to LCDs if they only play on CRTs.
+BorgMuffinMan Sounds good to me man. Sorry for the super late response. Would you know anything about an Asus monitor? I'm thinking about getting one.
Judai64 I love asus monitors, they seem to be the best price/performace ratio compared to any monitors I can find. I got one for roughly 110 bucks and it's the best monitor I've ever had
Brawl wasn't streamed by VGBC, so it won't be uploaded on this channel. I don't remember which streamer hosted Brawl, but check their youtube to see if it's there.
ThatNintendoBro yeah tournament winnings are placed in a similar tax category to lotto winnings and that kind of stuff. The company that runs Apex is so big they have to register all of their activities with the gov't, otherwise they would be in some serious shit, so everything they do is taxed
I love how PP was sort of in the background of the Melee scene for awhile, and then he just shows up to a completely loaded Apex and wins.
He won last Apex too
+Derper 5000 he was talking about the first Apex, he's the only one to win any Apex melee singles.
I don't know how someone can not like this guy. He's the guy you hope your daughter dates
That is the most perfect analogy to describe him.
He's like the guy in a chick flick that moves away in the beginning and comes back to marry the main character in the end.
@UltimateShamrock Hell yeah! I'd tell her to get the best outfit for the occasion too. Then I'd ask him "So how what it?" lol PPMD for life.
The good kid your parents want for you because of how respectful he seems
I think PPMD is definitely the most likable of the Top 5. I'm sure they're all good guys, but he seems the most down to earth
JVFitness23 Hbox is dope
Jarl Ulfric I'm a big fan of his as well. They are my top 2
Jarl Ulfric Hbox is fake, can't you tell?
Met Hungrybox at Evo this year. He's kinda full of himself. It's not just for show
my original post before evo says i'm sure they're all good guys. Evo changed my belief. He's not an a-hole or anything of that nature, but he genuinely carries himself as though he's better than others
PPMD is so fuckin cool. Totally down to earth. He's good people.
The nicest people have depression. It's not fair. Hopefully he's not so depressed now. PPMD is probably my favourite Smash God now recently. He's so chill, and humble. The best qualities in a person honestly.
PPMD is my favorite Smasher.
Me too! Hope PPMD comes back soon. Either to Melee or Ultimate, anything! We miss him!
@@mrm64 He doesn't enjoy playing Ultimate :/ But he streams Melee regularly on Twitch:)

he deserved it! PP is just absolutely amazing, although people can hate on him, the respect just has got to be real.
I agree dude! Though I have to wonder, how the hell can anyone hate PPMD, jesus, he's so friendly.
Ikr? it could be a leading factor to his success as well.
I think that PPMD actually looks a bit like Falco.
I was thinking the exact same thing when watching this...it makes me stoked
Lol "you can feel that Twitter hate". Gotta love PP
Who is here after Metagame!
The professor! It's so interesting to listen to his analysis.
PP would make a great coach if he doesn't feel ready to play yet :)
my headcanon for PPMD is he's in the EG infirmary and plotting some scheme to win every national ever
:((( He's so anxious about being on the mic and having the weight of 116,000 people watching. He's a fucking genius and a madman when he plays tho, so dominant at this event
He didn't seem anxious at all
PPMD is very friendly and down to earth
Who else imagined PPMD with Morgan Freeman's voice
Wut
Never again can I see PPMD in the same light
Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman imagines everyone talking with Morgan Freemans voice
ill never unhear
"I'll see you around, dude."
"Absolutely."
Radio Melee :)
Golden Guardians :)
this hits different
one of the few players that will look at the person he's talking too. great for the sport imo
damnn hella glad i watched this. I think pp goes to ham on popoffs from time to time, but definitely a down to earth dude, that little part about acceptance training was actually quite profound. like that really is training that can be done every day.
We miss you kevin
Still my favorite player(besides m2k). If he comes back to form he will win Apex again this year.
i have hopes for him too. nobody is going to apex this year though. it's more like a regional this year.
PP is the best
2:12 "because he had so many opportunities to run I was watching how he was getting away, so I figured out a lot of how he was playing".
This is what seperates PP from most players. Amazing studying skills even during matches.
honestly the acceptance training thing shows in how he laughs off losses, it's inspiring actually
He is so chill
shout outs to gimr for editing out the awkward ass ending
what happened?
thugjuice69
Nothing... literally.
i think i remember gimr coming in at the end and saying like it was the 2015 stream and it was like 3am in the morning. I fell asleep watching top 8 but woke up for that lil tidbit.
1000 people saw PP win Pound V in 2011. 116,000 watched him win Apex 2015
I'd be so chill with PPMD. I'm cool with dudes like him. Easily approachable, down to earth, kind. But he'd whoop yo ass in a video game and that's where the badassery comes in, lmao!
Waves of nostalgia
Welcome back PP!
i just love how he stuck with marth
PP is easily the best god
Mentality training... That shit applies everywhere. Good advice PP
Fuck, I miss this guy
the most mature top player by a long shot
I wish I would have had more time to cherish PP BibleThump
Representing NC to the fullest! I need him to train me in melee...
Damn, he lost his accent
"acceptance training" PogChamp
I
14:06 ill see you again in the future.
oof gone for a while
but now he bacc
Really hope he doesn't go on hiatus again.
TargetHippo Depression is getting the best of him it seems..
Jarl Ulfric wah wah
PPMD is awesome

+Spenceland Haha oh yeah you're right! Thx : )
+cpthurme PPMD doesn't believe in natural talent.
Holy moly did Apex really have 100k viewers? That's almost as much as a CS major tournament.
qaywsx583 The last csgo major had over a million viewers.
BananaSopuli
Seems like things have changed after DHW 2013. Well not for the better of the community as the cancer started shortly after that.
Why the hell was m2k not in this melee tournament?
Omar Kanawati But there are no videos with him playing..?
he won doubles though.
he was sick all weekend and got knocked out by shroomed before top 8
M2k isn't that amazing anymore
Jyft Isn't that amazing anymore? Just a short while prior at Paragon 2015 the guy got 1st in PM 1st in SSB4 and 2nd in Melee. Lets be fair here. He's still crazy good.
So I was gonna get an Asus monitor for Smash, but if it's not good what monitor should I get? I don't get the refresh thing for the monitor. Can someone please help me with this?
Judai64 Regular 60hz CRT, like.. I dont even get the question
Hans Wurst I want it to serve as a gaming PC monitor as well.... Sorry should have stated that too.
If you ask me I'd say get both, CRT's doesnt even cost anything so...
Hans Wurst I would, but I wanna record my gameplay and my capture card can't do that through a CRT, but I guess I would eventually get both.
Judai64 yo man I definitely read "anus monitor" my b
I hear PPMD lives in NC
does he have tournaments ??
He goes to locals occasionally, but there aren't very many tournaments in NC.
***** what? Bullcrap, there are tournaments in raleigh all the time. PPMD lives in an apartment with two other smashers, in apartment complex with like 13 smashers all in walking distance. There is always smash being played. Hell, last weekend we had a 100+ person local
Wtf is going on in the thumbnail?
Wooo
PPMD KREYYYYYGASMMMMM
Is his complain about the TV thing legit? Does the refresh really affect your play?
I would like to know this as well. I bought a BenQ monitor and I would like to know if this is affecting me. I want to enter a tournament and I don't want to be so off when I play on a CRT.
+Judai64 Yes, CRT monitors have zero display lag, while the display on any HD monitor, even super high quality ones, would at the least be roughly 1 frame.

+BorgMuffinMan Cool because PP mentioned in the interview about the monitor messing him up and I don't want that.
He reminds me of Jonah Hill
Wheres the brawl???
Fuck Brawl
No need to get yo panties in a bunch bruh. If you don't know how to answer a question from a comment then you shouldn't bother commenting.
Brawl wasn't streamed by VGBC, so it won't be uploaded on this channel. I don't remember which streamer hosted Brawl, but check their youtube to see if it's there.
Now thats a sensible answer. Thanks bro
I think it was streamed by Team Spooky, but I could be wrong.
Kreygasm
how much does he get paid for this?
+Justin Leich roughly 7,000 dollars. Unfortunately, tournament winnings are taxed heavily very heavily so he probably got about 5000
+BorgMuffinMan do they really tax tourney winnings? I've never heard of that. I guess it's only for big tournaments.
ThatNintendoBro yeah tournament winnings are placed in a similar tax category to lotto winnings and that kind of stuff. The company that runs Apex is so big they have to register all of their activities with the gov't, otherwise they would be in some serious shit, so everything they do is taxed
Good job PP but please brush your teeth
can this dude brush his teeth>?
PPMD is great, too bad he was interviewed by toph
