@@mlalbaitero He got 7th in Genesis Black playing nothing but Shiek, Fox, and Falco, he's not "Bad" with those. Most of Melee's roster is just utter dogshit
All the top players just shit on everyone else with every character in melee, fundamentals are so important and the skill ceiling is insane; for an example of how big the gap from normal player to top player is in Melee, Ultimate elite smash win streaks tend to reach at most a bit over 100 for the very best players, meanwhile Trif (#2 in Europe) has a slippi winstreak of more than 800 iirc. You could give Hbox (or any other top player) a completely unique modded low tier and 5 minutes to figure out what all their moves are and he would probably run a 90% win rate on slippi with them against opponents who actually knew the character well.
@@lukerose4166 Although his secondaries aren't good as say Mang0 or Leffen's secondaries, I wouldn't go as far and say that they're "garbage". His Fox beat Bimbo and Eddy Mexico and his Sheik took Lucky to game 5 at Genesis Black a couple years ago iirc.
either get dunked on while on stream by a really bad character, or just win for free because bowser is garbage. Either way its not fun to play against low tiers
This is the most interesting melee video I've ever watched. I usually don't enjoy watching melee so that's amazing that you made it interesting Hbox. Keep up the good work
That’s cuz everyone plays the same 4 characters which gets boring in one or two videos. If they switched characters for fun people would maybe wanna watch them more.
I never got into watching Melee, but you are long overdue for the respect that kind of commitment deserves. I just hope that this message can be seen by you for a moment and let you know that there are people out there that respect your insane skills and determination to not give in to people who never put in even close to that kind of effort. I might not have been in one of those rooms to cheer you on, but know that you have my respect.
TH-cam videos do much better when they call a challenge what it is instead of using the community insider term. Smallant, a mario odyssey and pokemon player, experimented with video titles a bit in his early days and found that things like "YOU COLLECT A COIN YOU LOSE" works really well for attracting the most traffic to your video and pulls in an audience which normally doesn't watch "Nuzlocke" or "Ironman" challenges.
Goes to show how many people are beachasses and won't fight a mid-low tier lol. I main Falco/Luigi and can't get a match with Luigi half the time. Great job on getting this far man!!
Different audience I think. Melee viewers might prefer the clean edit which hands you the results straight, emphasizes cool moments, and forms some sort of narrative. Ultimate is a younger/ more mainstream audience so you get more "HE DID WHAT???", "*Insert meme here*", and "x character is BUSTED" moments.
I’m sure this is a really stupid question but how does he determine who will be his opponents for each fight? Is this setup like random matchmaking in Ultimate? Is this on his Discord and he’s setting up with his followers?
no asking to subscribe this video? Here' I'll write you one. Hbox: (takes off sunglasses to reveal another set of sunglasses) I heard you wanted more content? (takes off sunglasses to show ANOTHER pair) Well, if you hit that bell and the like button, you'll see all the content you need. (takes off the last pair of sunglasses) So is it a deal?
Do this, but in ultimate, online, and you have to use characters with multiple fighters as their own separate fighter. Ex. Pokemon Trainer, you have to win one match each with Zard, Ivy, and Squirt or Mythra and Pyra both need a win each. Maybe 3 chances per fighter since there are so many
1:45 This is the optimal way to start a dong ditto I didn't see what happened after that but if they both charged their punch then did down taunt again it would've been correct. Coming from a Expand Dong Conissuer I would say that I rate that beginning 8/10
To all the Hungrybox haters, he doesn't just play Jigglypuff. I bet a lot of people forgot that he went Solo Fox one tournament and made Top 8 as Genghis Juan. Dude has skill! Y'all just can't handle puff because you are ignorant to learn and adapt. This video was fire! 🔥
he's playing these matches online using a program called slippi. his opponents disconnected from the matches near instantly, taking him back to the character select screen. he's counting the disconnects as wins, which as far as i'm concerned is fair game; if someone fails to show up for a tournament match, they get disqualified and their opponent generally moves on to the next round (as far as i know).
M2k Would most definitely count those
Alternate title: Popping off with every character in a row
😂😂
Lmao
Bowser: exists
Opponent: *F this sh!t, I'm out*
I think he though Hbox knew something they didn't
Lets all thank IBDW for encouraging people to quit on low tiers
to be fair this is hbox we’re talking about
@@NessKwik0 wait why
@@Eskiii because he says they are a waste of time, thats why when someone quits on a low tier at the beginning of the game its an IBDW
Shoutout to competitive Melee for making people think there are only 6 characters in that game
Unless you are playing at really high level character doesnt really matter (apart from bowser ofc)
@@kaon9181 I’d argue there are quite a bit more than just Bowser but I guess it depends on your definition of “high-level.”

Hello un
I thought it already was
Imagine him winning with every character just to lose with Puff. Now that would be dramatic.
It would be opposite day that day
That is when you know earth is about to blow
It would have to be unranked Albert for that to happen
The cute and subdued “let’s go~” just after the Peach mirror match was great
Ya know, I’m staring to think that this pro smash bros player is pretty good at smash bros
I think he's particularly good to that game on... Gamebox, that's the name of the console?
@@Kara-de5cz Yes, I must say that I believe that is the correct PlayStation console
@@TheModernMessiah yeah, with Kratos and Rayman !
Fr. Hope he starts competing since physical tourneys are back.
I also notice he's especially good with femboy kirby
1:42 the Donkey Kong duo meme was amazing.
The Zelda clip in this video is exactly why she used to be called a good character way back in the day lmao
Noobs never respect the legs man
people disrespect zelda so much its stupid.
That Samus perfect shielding the reflected missile back was hilarious
2:30 I love how Hungrybox just looks like "why does this exist" when using Falco and his easy spike to edgeguard without any issues
Lol that Falco got ACTUALLY Slept on.
Get out.
@@Eldoofus Lmfao I was sleeping right after I pressed send on this anyway. 🤣

I've actually never seen hbox play another character, this is insane

@@VelaniTheOne but Bowser is easy combos and edgeguard
Clutched that kirby game straight through game knowledge, what a thing of beauty
Mad respect for doing the challenge with both Zelda and Sheik rather than just using Sheik and calling it every character.

Hungrybox: Yes?
Kirby: Yeah
Melee is so much more fun to watch imo. I love it
There’s a reason he’s been a God of Melee for so long
Bowser is so powerful that the opponent freaked out because he didn't want to be humiliated
I don't think I've ever seen actual Melee Zelda gameplay until this video. Everyone just plays Sheik the better-tier
awww i wanted to see the Bowser match lmao
The guy didn't want to be 4 stocked so he left
Hbox on Melee is a different beast.
"What are the odds!"
DK: "AruhuuHhughhh"
0:59 Yo hungrybox’s bowser is insane
1:44 Moments like that start friendships.
That 4 stock with Puff on that Falco was classy

Your Ness is so sick, would love to see you try him out in a small tourney

Maybe he could split it up into parts like Winning with all 64 characters, then melee, then Brawl, etc.
@@basti1899fürimmer yeah that's also a good idea

When you usually watch Hbox play ultimate, and then he reminds you that he's actually a melee god :O

We need to see Hbox's Luigi, Marth, Roy and Game and Watch at full-power.
Can you imagine loading into a game and it’s hboxs puff
Someone needs to do the ultimate Iron Man Challenge: win with every character since Smash 64 to SSBU, you would be playing like 30 hours the game xD

the fact that he won with a way worse jigglypuff…
You-
What on earth do you mean
Play As Kirby And Win
…

Of course the person to beat him as Roy would be named Pussyriot420
