THE SOUND IN THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!!!! I can hear the cheers and jeers from the crowd, I can hear the game, the fucking wind blowing on the stage, and of course, the commentators are crisp
lol at 6:00 that was not an easy shine bair, in fact west basically did like 4 frame perfect, or near frame perfect, inputs for the bair to actually hit
How are you gonna be in your home country and they cheering against you AND they cheering "USA". Holy shit, props to Leffen for knowing how to ignore all the hate. Westballz comin' through thooooooo!
You don't get to see this, but before this set started, Leffen went for a handshake, and Westballz went for a fist pound. Instead Leffen flips off Westballz.. Seeing this live on stream... OMG!
I thought the commentating was great, definitely felt the hype right alongside them. westballs 2K16 looking clean. definitely always been a combo monster but lately it seems like he's added a finesse to his play
Westballs's punish game this set may be some of the best I've ever seen in melee. Every single time Leffen got hit, no matter what move he got hit with or where he was when he got hit, West converted it into a stock.
Real talk though, pretty cowardly thing to do by leffen dropping out of the MM. I'm sure chillin and sfat weren't feeling it, but at least they had the guts to play. Lol leffen just made himself look like a punk.
+shiv sixohfor westballz dropped of the money match first and said 10 days before beast he wanted to do it. And leffen kind of has a point about MM with donation money.
+Brendan2981 Westballz made clear that any donations was to help him alleviate the expenses of going to europe. he was going and money matching Leffen either way
+Ludvig Burman yeah but leffen's point was that if you have 1000 dollar to throw in a mm you can use it to pay your own trip. I have nothing against donation and it's great that it allowed Wes to come but i can see why leffen wouldn't want to mm
Brendan2981 Wes would have gone anyway. He basically said that people could help him travell a bit cheaper if they wanted to. leffen was out of practice
Westballz then decided to not take losers finals seriously at all, from picking Samus game one to floundering around with his Falco. Goddamn it West. You can't just talk all that shit and then do that.
+DDeglane16 Westballz was trying in games 2 and 3 and he lost both of them. Not trying to compete seriously in game 1 was either really cowardly (If he loses the set people chalk it up to him "not trying") and if he wins it humiliates Leffen. You can't win WS, talk a bunch of shit on twitter, and then pull shit like that in the rematch.
Shield drop and do a back air first frame out after the shield drop. You can do it with regular dropping too. Only certain moves can do it. It's called a platform cancel. Westballz does it pretty frequently now.
Crowd mic doing work this set. Also, was the US contingent really that big (loud) or did a predominately EU crowd start chanting "USA" in Leffen's own country?
Pretty sure when Wes missed that back-air in game three when leffen recovered to platform he was aiming for NTSC fox recovery. Woulda had the clean 3-0 if it wasn't for that
that doesn't even mean anything, do i have to meet him to know after hundreds of trustworthy anecdotes? after seeing and reading and hearing his behaviour over years? did you have to meet osama bin laden? loll
It doesn't bother me that you guys dislike him I personally love him as a heel, he helps keeps things interesting, 5-0 chillindude, Rivalry with westballz, first person to beat all the gods.
what a weird set, it feels like leffen didnt play the first two games... at the beginning he didnt get into the game then losing confidence and feeling the pressure while wes getting more and more secure and cocky, finally in the third set it starts to feel like a real game when leffen starts to take more risks and wes losing some of his momentum but with 2 wins in his pocket and the crowd in his back he simply has the edge really shows how different everything can go when you play in tournement, usually i would say leffen is the overall better player but westballz is still westballz
Westballz techskill and rythym was only ever handicapped by his ability to get inside his own head. His ability to 4 stock anyone was only every contrary to his ability to side-b off stage at any given moment. A lot of the time his tourney matches looked like little more than tech skill practice. I'm not arguing that he couldve been the best player ever, just that if he had continued to get better, than he probably would've had more movement/comboing options than any other player in the history of smash aside from Hax$. If those two players had continued to improve, would've seen some crazy shit
WESTBALLZ IS IN FIRE
*side b off stage*
My sides
WEZBOL IS IN FIYER
THAT WAS YUR COONTERPICK LEFFEN THANK YOU FOR THE LOW CEILING REALLY
The commentator had a typo in real life.
I did not expect that to happen that soon into the set 😂
OMFG WESTBALLZ IS NUTS
Westballz is fucking nuuuuuuuuuuuts
+GRsmash I'd love to see you do this man the justice he deserves with a small montage from this tournament!
+GRsmash Duuuude, you could make another sakurai combo montage from this match alone! xD
+GRsmash deez nuts
you know shine up b is the bomb soldier not the sakurai right
Be honest, you only came here for WEZZBAL IS IN FIRE
lol
True
Fact
Still peak falco combo game in 2024
THE SOUND IN THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!!!! I can hear the cheers and jeers from the crowd, I can hear the game, the fucking wind blowing on the stage, and of course, the commentators are crisp
Liva actually had a "crowd microphone" that was aimed at the audience on Beast 6 :D
True
I have no idea what this commentator is saying but he's so hype I love it
This was more than just another tournament set. This was a demonstration. A demonstration of exactly what Falco can do.
This will go down as one of the most amazing domination sets in history
I love coming back to watch west destroy leffen every once in a while :D
8:20 is amazing. West only missed one laser near the end, but ended up connecting all those hits. So precise :P
'''wow, wOW, WOW!!'' - dat french guy
Who was the commentator?
at first I thought the commentator was high lol
+Christian Lewis (Crizonfa) Fauster
lol at 6:00 that was not an easy shine bair, in fact west basically did like 4 frame perfect, or near frame perfect, inputs for the bair to actually hit

I find myself here again, 8 years later...
How are you gonna be in your home country and they cheering against you AND they cheering "USA". Holy shit, props to Leffen for knowing how to ignore all the hate. Westballz comin' through thooooooo!
Peak Weston Dennis right here. It was almost like Leffen wasn't even playing, Westballz was just in his head for most of the match. Damn good Melee.
Tempo vs Redbull/TeamSoloMid..
I'm so proud on how far Melee has come :')
For some reason it gives me great satisfaction to see fox getting destroyed by falco, it's like the cool kid getting owned by the new kid.
Westballz may have placed 3rd but he placed 1st in my book.
This is prime melee even in 2020
Westballz's Falco playing amazing is one of the best things in Melee!
Side B off stage into "omfg how didnt his hands evaporate from that?" is my favorite wes combo
Just heard about this on Twitter, and it is already online, GGS with the clutch uploads :D
This is the best I've ever seen Westballz play
You don't get to see this, but before this set started, Leffen went for a handshake, and Westballz went for a fist pound. Instead Leffen flips off Westballz.. Seeing this live on stream... OMG!
The Red Bull was castrated.
0:04 HOLY FUCK WESTBALLZ VS WESTBALLZ
Someone STOP THIS MAN
Ayyyyy pix
Crazy this was 6 yrs ago. Such a hype tournament with these 2
THAT'S MY ADDERAL DADDERAL!
spoilers
leffen lookin like a child OML
This is still my favourite set to date.
I thought the commentating was great, definitely felt the hype right alongside them. westballs 2K16 looking clean. definitely always been a combo monster but lately it seems like he's added a finesse to his play
What the hell do the players say everytime right before they play another match, the next map they will pick?
Merci Bronol pour nous avoir fait découvrir ce set incroyable ❤
Westball is indeed in fire.
Westballs's punish game this set may be some of the best I've ever seen in melee. Every single time Leffen got hit, no matter what move he got hit with or where he was when he got hit, West converted it into a stock.
Absolute destruction, holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Yo!! A Hopesfall PFP! No Wings to Speak Of and The Satellite Years are classics.
Make america great again

Make Ameleeca great again
Make America shine again

leffen was out of practice
Chaos Lemon That was the excuse he gave atleast, along with his missinformed idea of westballz donations.
Don't spam me, i am not johning for him lol
Not sure anybody seen this but at 9:15 west forgot thsi was pal not ntal so he miss the back air because in pal fox up b doesn't go that far.
Westballz then decided to not take losers finals seriously at all, from picking Samus game one to floundering around with his Falco. Goddamn it West. You can't just talk all that shit and then do that.

+DDeglane16 ...johns
+Marcus Clough Yeah, Johns
I SWEAR there needs to be a "Last Stock Legends" episode based on this set for season 2.
the commentator is HYPE AS FUCK! Keep it up man #WOWOWOWOW
6:47-6:52 Westballz hits 6 JC Shines
absolutely filthy
I liked the part where Leffen got bodied
how many viewers did this tournament have at its peak
0:48 what the hell? How do you do that?
Shield drop and do a back air first frame out after the shield drop. You can do it with regular dropping too. Only certain moves can do it. It's called a platform cancel. Westballz does it pretty frequently now.
great video until I had to see esam and his douchey chin straps
mango has 4 stocked leffer on several occasions. so has armada
but i don't think leff has ever gotten fucked up this bad and prob never will
is the beginning part of the video slowed down?
honestly my favorite set in all of melee
The amount of Westballz fans actually surprised me.
Why was Fauster on top 8 commentary, he's... I don't know what he is saying.
0:55 somebodies going nuts in the background
Wow, westballz playing so good the first game he took not just all of legend stocks but all of his own too!
From 11:30 to 11:40 it sounds like the crowd is cheering "Fuck off westballz fuck off"
8:26 My jesus christ. "...But still, he won't let Jim free!"🤣🤣🤣 Westballz was even harrassing him with lasers while he was out in the blastzone.
Imagine this being the Chillindude vs Leffen match. Westballz should have been in Chillindude's position.
Wow @ 9:25 ish it looks like leffen is just freaking out hard. Check out how big his eyes are.
Who are the commentators?!!!!
Sakurai combo Fest. Destruction!
Crowd mic doing work this set.
Also, was the US contingent really that big (loud) or did a predominately EU crowd start chanting "USA" in Leffen's own country?
+boezou An EU crowd seriously started chanting USA. It had to do less with national pride and more-so with the players themselves, I think.
EU cheering against Leffen. It was fucking lit.
westballz combo game reminding me of that trademark mango aggressive play from back in the day
I like how the crowd and commentators aren't super bias like they are in the US... especially mango nation weenies
Pretty sure when Wes missed that back-air in game three when leffen recovered to platform he was aiming for NTSC fox recovery. Woulda had the clean 3-0 if it wasn't for that
This and PP at Apex2014 are the highest levels I've seen of Falco
I found this in TrumpSC's Hearthstone Arena Playlist. Okay
"Hearthstone arena"
YO DID HE JUST SHINE A LASER AT 4:44?
No he fired one.
wwuoAOOAAOOW!!!
9:04 sick
This is also why falco is so hype
Like Mang0 said one time:
"WESTBAWWWWLLZZZZZ IS FAWWWKING NUUUUUUUUTS!!!"
Never seen so many up b kills... All the hype.
Wtf was the at 0:46
is there such thing as a leffen fan?
nope
People always gonna hate on Leffen
Good...maybe he'll stop talkin shit about people.
cos he's a piece of shit? you say that like he's some god who's done so much but will always have haters. he's a piece of shit.
+Sweat James A piece of shit you've probably never met.
that doesn't even mean anything, do i have to meet him to know after hundreds of trustworthy anecdotes? after seeing and reading and hearing his behaviour over years? did you have to meet osama bin laden? loll
It doesn't bother me that you guys dislike him I personally love him as a heel, he helps keeps things interesting, 5-0 chillindude, Rivalry with westballz, first person to beat all the gods.
0:09 "WESTBALL IS IN FIRE" a few seconds later *westballz side b's to death* "not really"
"Beat a Samus before you talk"~Westballz
this pal?
Yes.
I crack up everytime
USA chants in Sweden? I aren't think that
Leffen's b
westballz was a fucking monster lol
Nothin better than watching Leffen get shit on
Westballz, killer of god killers.
Rip guys who bet on leffen
Such a sick crowd
I'm glad he beat leffen
what a weird set, it feels like leffen didnt play the first two games... at the beginning he didnt get into the game then losing confidence and feeling the pressure while wes getting more and more secure and cocky, finally in the third set it starts to feel like a real game when leffen starts to take more risks and wes losing some of his momentum but with 2 wins in his pocket and the crowd in his back he simply has the edge
really shows how different everything can go when you play in tournement, usually i would say leffen is the overall better player but westballz is still westballz
Goat scream guy always MVP
Still a savage set
westballz
The amount of fucking hype
20YY TMPO | Westballz
Westballz techskill and rythym was only ever handicapped by his ability to get inside his own head. His ability to 4 stock anyone was only every contrary to his ability to side-b off stage at any given moment. A lot of the time his tourney matches looked like little more than tech skill practice. I'm not arguing that he couldve been the best player ever, just that if he had continued to get better, than he probably would've had more movement/comboing options than any other player in the history of smash aside from Hax$. If those two players had continued to improve, would've seen some crazy shit
reminds me of BBB lol
Love leffen but damn westballz was playing amazing
FreeSM chants at the end YEE BOI
Esam was so hyped, looking like he won the set lol. Considering he mains Samus, he probably would.
He got 3-0 by Leffen in bracket.
Fauster is so funny man
Lol why is he being sponsored by red bull?
