From Hated to Worshipped: How Hungrybox Silenced His Haters and Was Reborn

Juan “Hungrybox” DeBiedma had the passion to turn Super Smash Bros: Melee into a way of life.
Since his breakout in 2009, Hungrybox was one of the most successful - and most polarizing - players in Melee, partially because of his intense attitude and controversial character.
But Hungrybox pushed through the haters to become one of the best players in the world; so good he could dedicate his entire life to the game. He quit his job to focus full-time on Melee.
But a few years later, some soul-searching took him back to a day job. And yet, Hungrybox worked harder than ever to return to the top. And that meant taking yet another step into the unknown.

This episode's featured cocktail is the Black Mojito.
Recipe:
2 parts Kraken® Black Spiced Rum
2 Lime Slices
Muddled Mint Leaves
1 tbsp. Sugar
Top with Soda
In a collins glass, add mint leaves sugar and lime, muddle together. Add crushed ice and Kraken® Black Spiced Rum, then top with soda.
The sections with them drinking are so completely unnatural ... this remains the weirdest sponsored advert.
Fr just gives a off feeling tbh
Exactly it’s so funny to me cuz it’s literally jus like whenever transformers movies did obnoxiously obvious brand placements
I agree with what you're saying, but my girlfriend just watched this with me and said she liked that segment the most and that it felt like she was watching a TV show.
its like they are having a friendly conversation and both pretending that theyre not reading off a script
especially the transvestite
i actually find hbox very likable. dude seems real. puts his heart on his sleeve and stands up for himself.
Guys... I think this video might be sponsored by Kraken rum. Not sure yet tho.
I think its sponsored by white claw
its pretty obnoxious
LOL.
Love him or hate him, you cant deny that this man worked harder than probably any other player to not only get himself to the top but also the smash scene as a whole, not just melee.
aMSa is like the next version of that. HBox and aMSa have gotta be my favorite players (also Mang0 is a funny dude)
That's a lie tho
@@aoe9015 how so?
I love it when alcohol shows are sponsored by gaming products
Underrated comment
Hbox went from being wrongly hated by the oldschool fans, to extremely overrated and misrepresented by the casual fanbase, and now finally being widely accepted and understood by the current community. Easily top 3 all time.
Today I learned that HBox worked at a box company 😂
I knew she looked familiar. Daniel is Danielle now. Got it.
At first i thought it was a joke…
You mean he looked familiar
@@corvette_jake7225 Out of politeness I'm referring to her as 'she'. As we all should. It's not hard to be kind. As soon as I'm forced to say it, I'll have a problem with it. It's about respect for me.
@@ItsWhatever736 respect to you for that :)
@@ItsWhatever736that was a great response 100 percent agree
Can we get more fighting game content like this? Its much more interesting than the 500 valorant or csgo video. You guys didn't even make a video about EVO this year
I think we are not seeing enough fighting games coverage because the guy passionate about it is transitioning into a woman. Plus she is promoted to a broader role.
@@calebsmith254?
@@ACE112ACE112 he is busy personally. then at work he no longer focuses on fighting games.
So basically they are lacking of reporter who are into fighting games?
I watch theScore esports all the time, how is this the first time I'm noticing Danielle's transition?
i was looking for a comment like this, i dont feel alone thanks ahahah
Which game did they previously cover? Not sure who they were before.
I kinda get it though. The comment section here isn’t particularly kind. I feel kinda bad that she has to deal with this crap.
same omg i barely recognized her i had to make sure i wasnt wrong here lmao
the H in HBOX stands for Clutch
Ngl daniel becoming trans was probably the biggest shock I’ve seen in 2023. I hope they/she is happy with their transition, just never expected it to happen.
I love watching Hungrybox play. Always have
Honestly Imo, this is the best episode of into the dark yet and certainly my favorite
Love you Danielle!!! ❤️❤️🙏
That one clip where someone threw something had to have been a wake up call to people to leave him alone for playing a certain way
I'll never understand how people can just hate on Hbox here. I remember learning about him years ago after the crab incident and it just made me not want to interact with the smash community. Just because it's not Fox or Falco or whoever is flashier, the guy plays a much more paced character. It's far from how horrendous ice climbers is with wobbling. And it's not like the puff/kirby players that just hop and avoid damage. The guy actually plays the game.
You may not like him, you may not know him, you may don't like his playingstyle. But you can't deny that he is an extraordinary competitor; I myself respect him for that alone.
I legit stopped watching Leffen because i was tired of hearing him constantly bring up HBox. The audacity of him constantly talking smack about Hbox's attitude with a history like his is just annoying.
Of course Leffen always mad about something lmfaooo
Inspiring.
Oh my! Dani! I didn't expect that one for sure.
it's great to see you back Danielle!!!
Yeah i realize now that they have been missing from the channel for a while
She looks so good! Literally stylish af
I’m so glad to see big brands sponsoring content like this. Ill buy me a kraken to show my vote
There's a world were Hbox throughout the Quarantine didn't become a Content Lord, and he would have been the first ever player to be the best in the world 6 consecutive years. 💀💀💀
Very casual take lol.
@@dragonlope4666 I'm not sure about 6 years but if COVID didn't happen, it's hard to argue he wouldn't have at least got the 4 peat in 2020.
I used to hate Hbox because of his attitude, but I’ve done a full 180 on my hatred of him. Like this is the best example of character development and how people can redeem themselves. If HBox ever reads this you are an inspiration and carry the entire smash community. We love you ❤️
HBox has always been entertaining to watch. Sure that play style is 'boring' but it works, and maybe other players haven't found the way to break it down yet.
Congrats to Danielle on the transition!
this style of editing and interview reminded me of a Coffezilla video
I loved to see Danielle Rosen in this episode ❤
Ayeeeee another hbox vid. I love the Juantent.
More FGC content please!!!
As someone who play’s ultimate rather competitively, and uses Puff, Hungrybox inspires me to be better at the game and makes want to push my limit everyday … Thank you Hungrybox 😊
Before I heard of Hungrybox I thought competitive smash was the 20XX meme. His personality & jigglypuff reignited my passion for Smash.
The face of Smash
More melee content!!
This shit is running rampant.
finally they talk about hbox again.
GoatBox On Top 💪
great video
Hungrybox the man
lets goo smash visibility
Leffen saying that he doesn't like what any one else does to the scene makes me fucking cringe
BRO THIS WIERD SHIT WHERE U GUYS ARE HAVING A SCRIPTED CONVERSATION AND OVER A REFRESHING KRAKEN BEVERAGE IS REALLY CREEPY
The good ending
Can we get NINJAKILLA since he win EVO
The comments from Leffen. Lmfaooo how the tables have turned.
🙌
People make me question life every day….. all I’m gonna say
Just 2 dudes talking smash
D crab throw
Awesome to have Danielle’s journalism back in front of the camera. Always been a fan of their smash reporting.
She should use her real voice though. The unchanged part haha 😅
Also I don't get how people can get upset at HBox's pop offs. Like this is nothing, people have gotten into FIGHTS over other games
I'm just awe 'bout Danielle - what a transformation to the true one ❤ props
true
i was so immersed then danielle shows up and it got really interesting hha
She looks familiar
fr someone help me out please. was she on the show before she became Danielle? real question.@@ShadowBlade140
People will never understand Argentinian blood
Im guessing Danielle was a Daniel?
Is this a netflix show?
Let’s just remove the conversation part. And I mean in general, it’s awkward everytime in every video.
But like where’s leffen evo video
1st one?
They never give credit to EmpLemon’s documentary :/
I like turtles.
Daniel?
nah that's crazy
Yo! Danny from MostAmazingTop10, how’s it hangin’?
what happened to righties being the respectful and well-mannered crowd? have americans fallen that far?
I remember when all those women came forward and said he was a creep
I like dudes
What a glowup
So proud of Danielle for being who she wants to be and going through her transition. If you don't like it or just want to be in these comments to insult her or push anti-trans stuff, just unsub and leave. We don't need that energy
I was going to say, good for them.
sounds like you need Abraham.
Sick people need help, not a sex change.
MY GOAT
HGOAT
Where do I know Danielle from? I feel like I have seen her before but can't quite recall
She used to be one of the other hosts named Daniel
📦
Didn't know that Journalist transitioned... Crazy...
So unexpected to see
I don't vibe with this format low key makes me feel like I'm watching a reality tv date or something
wat happened to him and 5:58?
Love how you took Zero out of being one of the gods xD
Zero is not one of the 5 gods of smash
The “gods” are for melee.
he was great in smash 4
but smash 4 is irrelevant nowadays
Just a few minutes in and the alcohol ads are drowning the video. Please rethink both your choice of ad partner and how invasive they are.
Also congrats on the transition, Danielle! Would love to see you more in front of the camera again!
when did he became she😮
DANIELLE IS BACK!! glad to see her! Hope we get an Evo coverage soon!! :)
Danielle? Is this the guy that did stuff on score eSports before or am I crazy?
Ya I think his name was Daniel
i am asking the same thing , that look is familiar
Sad to see a good and talented person with an archive of knowledge just Do a switch.
I fell sad but when she was a he I liked him.
Iel daniel
Bruh nooo way he went full girl…that was the bro😢 can’t forget the forehead
First
something doesn't add up here 🤔
Why did you make this documentary like a true crime documentary? I like that they are talking about smash but the way they formatted this video is weird. The old docs you guys used to make had a good format don’t change it
The drinking part just seems unatraul like rather the speech is really scripted
Lost me at 4:47
a girl, unsub i guarantee they will miss your 1 subscriber out of a million @@raoufpercy
Is the Daniel one real? Oh no
What's up with the tran repeating everything that was told during the video? This video is twice as long just to repeat everything you're telling us a minute before lmao
It's all because they must unnecessarily promote their weird and borderline predatory Alcohol sponsorship in a gaming video.
She talks so scripted that its annoying
I don’t think you need to work too hard to be good at jigglypuff
Hungrybox is the only top puff player. Your point?
...hmmm...I think...crazy theory...that this video might be sponsored by Kraken spice rum
Edit: simply because I'm seeing so many braindead comments badmouthing Danielle, I felt the need to chime in saying you go girl and don't listen to those jackasses
Love hbox, but this rum sponsored video's product placement is so tacky. Don't produce more stuff like this, please.
who is this random person?
didn't know Danielle came out as trans congrats to her!
Bro is trans now? Thats crazy, i guess its more common than i thought. Good for her
That game looks Dom try pubg
