really that 1990´s argument? gaming is life for a lot of ppl already, and there is more hype than any normal sport, go away elder man, you dont belong here
Crazy that the biggest story of the year so far isn't that armada lost to some one outside the top 5, but that someone even took him to game 5. Just doing that is newsworthy. Johnny is just 1 of 3 non top 5 to take armada to game 5 Honestly scary to think about. But armada is the goat. Johnny played so well, and I root for Johnny. But Dam armada's consistency is beautiful
God, so close. I feel like a stomp instead of that knee to end game 3 could have clutched it, but hindsight's always 20/20. I hate to say I felt it was over after game 3, but I did. S2J played his absolute heart out, and you really have to, to keep up with Armada like he did. Amazing job Johnny, go far in losers.
Ok, even though it would've been *way* more hype if S2J won, it is still pretty hype that Armada won. This man's *insane* consistency is absolutely ridiculous, and whenever he takes it to game 5 and still manages to win, it just reminds you how good he is and how he refuses to let his record against anyone but the very best be tarnished. What a legend. Also, S2J did fuckin amazing and I truly believe that he is one of the people with the best chances to pull off the upset of the year next time they face off.
peach carries, if his fox was as good as his peach he wouldnt be as consistent, get that lvl with a floaty like puff or peach and u will rarely get upset if ever
Oocities Armada has a better record overall, people that claim Mang0 is the goat are mostly fanboys. Mang0 is an incredible player and imo the most entertaining to watch, but he’s not the goat.
Guys think about it. Genesis 2: Armada 2-0 S2J Genesis 3: Armada 3-1 S2J Genesis 4: Armada 3-2 S2J that means by all the data Genesis 5: S2J 3-2 Armada
I've been watching for five years now since the day after EVO 2013. Throughout that time, I've been learning more and more about the game. This set has inspired me to finally start learning all of the tech skills and such in order for my Falcon to compete. Thank you Johnny for showing me Falcon can do it.
That’s not a few pixels away please, it wasn’t close to hitting, and even if it did it looks like it would’ve reversed, which wouldn’t have led to a KO at all
this really had me feel as tense as Hbox vs. Armada at Evo. Like Homemade Waffles said in a later set, it really felt like Johnny had to win 3-0 or else Armada would take it. S2J is a legend... his movement is ridiculous
I remember coming back to the stream when Armada was down a game, and I thought "Nah, he's good." But when he went down 2-0, my heart sank. Gosh, what an intense set. Mad respect to S2J, but phenomenal work by Armada: staying composed, keeping calm, and bringing it back. Easily one of the highlights of Genesis 4. Then again, we've got Mang0-Armada coming up in just a few hours...
My hands were numb and my heart was pounding this entire set. Good job S2J! And props to Armada for being so good and recovering from the initial ball of fire that was Johnny.
When this set first started I didn't really care. Armada 3-0 S2j whatever. But as the set progresses, Johnny took game 1, and then game 2. At that point I was shivering. He can't do it can he? Then he bustered out game 3. At that point it was over.
I watched this on my break at work, and I only got through games 1 and 2 and I wish that I had only seen that. Still props to both players, S2J is my favorite player, and I feel that he'll beat a god soon
This set perhaps more than Grand Finals shows why he is the best to ever touch a controller. The mental fortitude to stay calm and come back when S2J was going nuts is unbelievable.
At right after 16:57 S2J jumps offstage and you hear the WHOLE crowd go "ohh" and literally conveying the disappointment Johnny must have felt in that exact moment. I have never seen a crowd this into it in a while. This match is gonna go down as one of the greatest matches of all time.
It is crazy to see that s2j can play like a beast and almost 3-0 armada but then as soon as the steam wears off armadas adaptation kicks in and it's a wrap
S2J idk if you read these comments. All i wanna say is this: Till this day you are still my favorite falcon player and you played your Ass off at G4. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise! Keep leveling up man! If love to see you win a major.
Atma the one moment he got too aggressive in game 3 was at 15:40. If Johnny would have waited for Armada to come off the ledge instead of going for a knee he would have had another opportunity to get the win. Johnny had the right idea with going with a knee but got impatient. That knee would have connected if S2J had just waited a split second, since Armada was just doing tournament winners off the ledge
ariam espinal you're not understanding me. I'm not talking about aggressiveness at the end but at the beginning. By that point, Armada had recomposed himself and was adjusting tho Johnny's style. You can see in moments of game 3 where Armada was cracking and Johnny let that go without expounding on that opportunity
This is such a perfect parallel to Super Bowl LI (2017). Falcon leads first two quarters (2 games to 0; 21-3 at halftime). Then Armada (favored to win) brings it back to tie it up (2 games to 2 games, 28-28 after four quarters) Then overtime (5th quarter), the 5th deciding match. Falcon(s) lose in a heartbreaker. Armada/Pats crowned this year's (Super Bowl/Genesis) champion.
Seems like the movement in this game is more natural and smother than in PM. That combined with the way the physics are makes the overall gameplay a bit deeper.

Trying a little too hard, m8
the moment s2j remembers there's a script he needs to follow 15:41. sorry guys, gfs at genesis has to be mango armada
Crazy that the biggest story of the year so far isn't that armada lost to some one outside the top 5, but that someone even took him to game 5. Just doing that is newsworthy. Johnny is just 1 of 3 non top 5 to take armada to game 5 Honestly scary to think about. But armada is the goat. Johnny played so well, and I root for Johnny. But Dam armada's consistency is beautiful
Honestly out of all of the people that have gotten close to beating Armada outside of the top 5, S2J has been the closest yet.
I think part of the reason this is so huge is that it wasn't Plup, SFAT, or Westballz who took him to game 5, it was freaking S2J.
Nope. Axe, Hax, Ice, and Fuzziness have also done it in the last 5 years
Born2Run wrong. Fuzzy at Beast I I, Axe at Eclipse, Hax at Justice 4, Ice at Eclipse 2, S2J at Genesis 4. all of those Armada won 3-2.
Jake from State Farm Are you illiterate?
if falcon's recovery was like a tiny, tiny bit better he'd probably be god tier. literally 80% of the damage he took was from him trying to recover
Cool to see you like smash
He literally missed that knee that would have 3-0ed Armada by maybe 2 frames.
i think a stomp might have worked
To this day, the scream Scar lets out as Johnny misses that knee gives me goosebumps. How legendary would that've been.
That knee was never going to hit in a million years. Only a stomp would have
God, so close. I feel like a stomp instead of that knee to end game 3 could have clutched it, but hindsight's always 20/20. I hate to say I felt it was over after game 3, but I did. S2J played his absolute heart out, and you really have to, to keep up with Armada like he did. Amazing job Johnny, go far in losers.
top 10 saddest anime deaths
holy fuck I was drinking my water and spat it out laughing at this LMAO.
Fuck off with your anime shit you weebs. Sick of seeing you fucks do this to everything, especially melee.
J lor you sound mad lol it's the internet people will say/post whatever they want, get over it.
Why don't you take your own advice and get over my comment then m8?
lol, that isn't even an anime reference, it's a smash reference
S2j making Armada sweat . Not too many people can do that.
Ok, even though it would've been *way* more hype if S2J won, it is still pretty hype that Armada won. This man's *insane* consistency is absolutely ridiculous, and whenever he takes it to game 5 and still manages to win, it just reminds you how good he is and how he refuses to let his record against anyone but the very best be tarnished.

can you make it more obvious that you have never played a floaty in your life?
When S2J takes more games off Armada in 1 set than mango does in 2
Johnny Manzo basically S2J took atmada to game 5 while mango at this tournament lost badly in winners and grand finals
daniel kim Isn’t Mango seen as the GOAT? I guess it was a bad day for him.
Oocities Armada has a better record overall, people that claim Mang0 is the goat are mostly fanboys. Mang0 is an incredible player and imo the most entertaining to watch, but he’s not the goat.

Go watch Leffen vs. Mang0 this very tournament.
already got beat by leffen vs mang0 lmao but this set was amazing
S2J is a legend!!!!!!
I'm glad the crowd still cheered for S2J after he lost. He definitely deserved it.
Was it really 7 years ago? This set is so legendary, I always keep coming back to it.
I gotta come back and watch this set like once a year and just imagine what could have been
HOLY SHIT THIS FUCKING SET
lol even this troll account is hyped
The hypest dude
this set is an instant classic. this matchup is fucking timeless
15:41 This johnny edge guard hurt. A lot.
If he did a dair right there it probably would've been done.
Kaded that would have been the best finisher for this tournament
Hurt? It was hilarious.
one dair could've changed everything
The god can bleed
THE 20GX REVOLUTION IS UPON US...
Smash Jigglypuff Is Not Female nice username
I agree with your username
S2J has nothing to do with 20GX, he's too Westballz-esque.
HailTheTwinTails I would say 20gx is kinda more like westballz than johnny
just some idiot using memes in the wrong way
:^)
One of the most heartbreaking sets in melee IMO.
I wish I lived in the universe where S2j landed that knee at 15:41
It certainly wouldn't have KO'd, but all the momentum would have been different :(
Guys think about it.
Genesis 2: Armada 2-0 S2J
Genesis 3: Armada 3-1 S2J
Genesis 4: Armada 3-2 S2J
that means by all the data
Genesis 5: S2J 3-2 Armada

Yes Armada!!! This man is the greatest of all time
Would have been more hype if S2J would have won :(
3:36 greatest Johnny stock ever
15:41 just a few pixels away from making history :(
if he down aired he would of killed him
Just playing that in my head with the knee meeting and the Pop off... i need a drink
ShadowOfNexxus would've* not would of
ShadowOfNexxus not necessarily, armada could've reacted and up-B'd, still getting back onstage
That’s not a few pixels away please, it wasn’t close to hitting, and even if it did it looks like it would’ve reversed, which wouldn’t have led to a KO at all
this really had me feel as tense as Hbox vs. Armada at Evo. Like Homemade Waffles said in a later set, it really felt like Johnny had to win 3-0 or else Armada would take it. S2J is a legend... his movement is ridiculous
Thank you so much for the quick uploads GIMR. Seriously appreciate it!

That game 3 thoough. He stopped the most legendary set from happening.
There is a disturbance in the force. Someone is close to an awakening, that is not Plup.
Damn, what a heartbreak for S2J. That victory was within his grasp.
Just one missed knee to get a 3-0 Armada. Could you imagine how different this tournament would be?
My hands were numb and my heart was pounding this entire set. Good job S2J!
And props to Armada for being so good and recovering from the initial ball of fire that was Johnny.
When this set first started I didn't really care. Armada 3-0 S2j whatever. But as the set progresses, Johnny took game 1, and then game 2. At that point I was shivering. He can't do it can he?
Then he bustered out game 3. At that point it was over.
I was so excited and then sad and then in awe of how amazing the set was
lmao at the commentary , "I DON'T JUST CARRY 95 DOLLARS!!" Lmao
Just thinking that S2J could of beaten Amanda :(
Andrew Kornish Can't has to follow Script for Genesis.
Andrew Kornish yeah AMANDA IS THE GREATEST PEACH IN THE WORLD
Richie Knapp i am making fun of the original commenter
Andrew Kornish Fuck that Falcon is lame
and peach isnt?
S2J played out of his fucking mind dude. So glad I randomly tuned in to the stream to see this.
You'll gonna need more than that in order to beat Armada. The man is a beast.
I watched this on my break at work, and I only got through games 1 and 2 and I wish that I had only seen that. Still props to both players, S2J is my favorite player, and I feel that he'll beat a god soon
Oh my god, s2j is a legend. Armada should be a little scared, even tho he won. He's not guaranteed a win anymore against anyone not in the top 5.
Johnny was almost a legend..
The last game gave me a heart attack
The current Video on Demand of Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube played at this TH-cam internet address.
This set perhaps more than Grand Finals shows why he is the best to ever touch a controller. The mental fortitude to stay calm and come back when S2J was going nuts is unbelievable.
the hypest set ive ever watched and it was live
15:40 the moment that broke all of our hearts
I was so nervous watching this, and I already knew how it was going to end!
Every time melee's top six turn on god mode it seriously gives me shivers. Truly a great set.
Scar will always be my favorite announcer because he can even make things like "Powershield! Run away!" sound really exciting
Craziest set ever. I was screaming my lungs out the whole time. They both played so well
I watched this set for the first time, I heard it was worth watching.
I was convinced this was the grand finals despite everything
fuck it, I'm mainin falcon
One of the most important sets of all time
A rollercoaster of emotion.
20GX is almost here!!!
Scar with 0 faith, muted the audio to keep my hype up
At right after 16:57 S2J jumps offstage and you hear the WHOLE crowd go "ohh" and literally conveying the disappointment Johnny must have felt in that exact moment. I have never seen a crowd this into it in a while. This match is gonna go down as one of the greatest matches of all time.
This set had my heart pumping at all times. Fucking intense
it sucks when you know he's gonna reverse 3-0 him after he wins the first two games since he seems impossible to beat ;-;
s2j makes me want to main falcon but I've been playing marth for so long so falcon is just my weak secondary
Vape Nation Meme Boys fuck marth. come join us
Anyone else noticed that S2J decided to use Up Throw when he went to Battlefield for the last match? I wonder why he started to use that throw there.
Major props to S2J, but to come back from down 0-2 to win 3 in a row is amazing.
Favorite match of this tourney tbh
That was the first time i've ever seen Armada use the Toad, I love this man
What a fucking set! Jesus. Best set of the tournament so far
It is crazy to see that s2j can play like a beast and almost 3-0 armada but then as soon as the steam wears off armadas adaptation kicks in and it's a wrap
People talk about how s2j choke but I really think it’s more about armada being a goat here..
S2J had to 3-0 Armada to win. Once Armada won the third game, I knew S2J wasn't going to make it.
this is the set that got me hooked on melee
This and Mango v Leffen sets = hypest shit of 2017 so far.
I can't watch this without crying
3:11 I love how the in-game Falcon chant started RIGHT when he kneed him
S2J idk if you read these comments. All i wanna say is this:
Till this day you are still my favorite falcon player and you played your Ass off at G4. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise!
Keep leveling up man! If love to see you win a major.
once someone gets this close to slaying a god, it always means that their time will come soon
DAMNIT WHY DID JOHNNY CHOKEEE he had the 3-0 but he ruined it going for that knee
Daniel Requena I don't think he choked at all, Armada just stayed consistent in his play.. plus that knee was iffy, I don't blame him going for it lol
This is why I started watching Melee.
Hype As Fuck, just thinking about armadas first lose at a none top 6 member getting 3-0 was fcking crazy
Armada's mental game is incredible
Man scar is like fucking Michael Scott from the office just talking about himself the whole time
Amsa, PPMD, S2J are my smash heros
The crowd from all Smash games in the venue stopped playing to watch this set by Game 3.
I think s2j should have been far more aggressive on game 3 to put on the pressure. his downfall in this set was giving Armada too much room to think
Atma the one moment he got too aggressive in game 3 was at 15:40. If Johnny would have waited for Armada to come off the ledge instead of going for a knee he would have had another opportunity to get the win. Johnny had the right idea with going with a knee but got impatient. That knee would have connected if S2J had just waited a split second, since Armada was just doing tournament winners off the ledge

Ouch.
If Scar didn't doubt S2J being able to 3-0 Armada, he would have.
commentator curse
most hype set of 2017 so far
suuuuper disappointing
Johnny was so close :(
If S2J took this 3-0 it probably would have gone down as one of the greatest sets of Melee to ever happen. Armada's plot armor is too strong.
what an incredible set. props to S2J for giving Armada a real run for his money
it still felt close till game 5!most players including gods very often drop their morale down and start playing inaccurately in Johnny's shoes.
Armada is awesome player. Why is the whole crowd for s2j ?
SenfPenner he is the under dog, armada doesn't lose games, captain falcon is a hype player, they are expected to win.
SenfPenner armada not they
also s2j is from california, where the tournament was held
I just turn off the video on 2-0, great win S2J, you're a legend
Most memorable set of 2017
Mango vs. Leffen G4.
Imagine how different grand finals would've turned out if S2J beat Armada here.
This truly was a heartbreaking set 💔
S2J bringing the hype this soon. This could be his year. (although he's out already by Axe)
Seems like the movement in this game is more natural and smother than in PM. That combined with the way the physics are makes the overall gameplay a bit deeper.
