  • CLUTCHBOX, a highlight video of one of the most amazing runs I have ever seen. He just somehow always managed to find a way to make a comeback or clutch it out. EVO 2016 was absolutely amazing.
    Thanks for watching!

    Armada vs Hbox was hands down the most hype set I've ever seen.

      @PurpleDolphinYT 8 ปีที่แล้ว +97

      smashladder chat, twitch chat, etc were all like RIP tourney over Armada will beat hbox in a boring set, then it became the most hype set of top 8

    • @NathanLouie

      @DragoonRyRs 8 ปีที่แล้ว +52

      I'm not the smartest in smash because I havent played it since being a kid but why do people even discredit him for using jigg? If the character is that strong shouldn't other pros be picking it up also? If anything it credits his skill for being able to play a character that no one else can to that point

    Hbox played perfectly, he uses all the advantages and covers all the weaknesses of puff, and also he wasn't camping or jumpin in the ledge like past year, he played offensively, with a genius defense at the same time.
    He made it, he win like a god.

    • @romanianchocolate
      @romanianchocolate 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      While I don't disagree, it's not like Hungrybox won the matchup entirely on his own. There were multiple occasions where Armada could've easily closed the set but failed to capitalize. Clutchbox is clutchbox though.

    What's funny about this is that his path to this was really straightforward. He went to college and got a job as a normal person would, while still playing this game and getting top spots. Then he got a coach to guide him the rest of the way, like any sports team. It's so... Traditional. Goes to show there's a reason why there's been a coach for sports for this long. And it won't change even in the esports scene.

      ShortBusGangster Yea, but still winning grand finals at EVO while working 40 hours a week and still having the power to take on both mango and armada, well, it shows that he is the only one that can do that. Plus he mastered Puff a long time ago, so the only thing I'm impressed about is how he wasn't worn out during the tournament. He showed minimal mistakes out of everyone after working his (probably) 5-day job duties! If I were en engineer, there would be no way in high hell I could accomplish what he just did if I had his level of skill.

      +DaJuan "Energy" McDaniel Yeah I want to know how much people were watching on ESPN2, cuz srkevo1 stream got up to 165k viewers for SFV,if we add the 2 up, then we will know how much people were watching, but at the same time, Melee got up to 220k viewers, and were also people watching Melee on TopangaTV so those need to be added up as well, I know for fact that TopangaTV reached up 20k viewers during Melee so it is still very possible that Melee was the most watched event at EVO, in other words Melee reached almost 240k viewers overall, that imo is really saying something

He played so out of his mind amazing, and got one of the best and most important clutches in his tournament career to reset the bracket. Hbox has always been my favorite smasher, and to see him win this tournament gets me almost as emotional as it got him. Well made video GR, made this moment even better.

    The most beautiful thing about Hbox, is how grateful and humble he is. I don't think I've ever seen a player so ecstatic to win, nor as graceful in defeat. I don't always enjoy Hbox's matches, because I lack the patience to properly enjoy the tension of his slower sets, but if there's a single person that exemplifies just how much heart goes into playing a game like Melee, it's Hbox every day and every time. Every time he wins, you feel it.
    Good on you, Hbox. The race for the 3vo begins.

    There's a reason why you don't quit, Hungrybox has shown this time and time again. Nothing feels better than watching a guy go through hell, not quitting and coming out on top. This is one of my favorite moments in Sports as a whole. I put this up there, in my personal book, with Darren Elkins vs Mirsad Bektic, this man was getting his ass kicked for three rounds and he came out on top he didn't give up even though his face looked so beaten. Apply these lessons and turn it into motivation whether it be an MMA fight, a melee tournament or generally in your life.
    He had the want to just walk away, but he didn't and he clutched out the tournament. This was the biggest stage melee had in the last time we would see a game on this scale, walking away with the W must have been a dream come true for him.

    I think this is when people changed their opinions on hbox, they respected him from the long way he went. Always the underdog until that day.

    wow absolutely amazing. It doesn't matter if you don't like hbox as a player or because of who he plays but this man has heart like no other smash player I've seen. And it's that heart that has brought him this far. Congrats hbox.

    I can't be mad at Hbox, honestly he played amazingly beautiful and had really great reads. He definetely shut a lot of critics up. Congrats Hungrybox!

    I didn't know I wanted Hbox to win... But then I saw that clutch bracket reset and I got so hyped. GG Hbox, you absolutely deserve it.

    Finally, Hbox coming in strong at Evo. Good to see that he finally got what he wanted for so long after being crushed in Grand Finals so many times.

    Honestly, even though some people rip on or joke about hbox crying and popping off, I love it. I love his drive and passion for the game, and the emotions it sparks in him. Damn proud of him for taking evo, and it's looking like he's the best in the world at this point.
