Apex 2015 - Leffen (Fox) Vs. PPMD (Marth) - Winners Finals - SSBM 

PPMD wasn’t just the best Melee player. He IS the best Melee player. Maybe not so much in a skill set anymore, but definitely in an admiration kind of way. I don’t care if he hasn’t attended a major tournament in roughly 2 years and hasn’t placed well in the recent Nationals he has gone to. When this man was on point, nobody was stopping him. Coming from a region with no competitive smash influence in that of North Carolina, to dealing with the emotional baggage of depression, suicidal thoughts, and disapproval of parents, and finally all his health concerns which have continually worsened, to be able to win this tournament in which nobody thought he could do it is a thing of beauty. You can see him struggling at times during this set with missing follow ups, and relatively poor punishments. This set was a super close 5 game set, and it could’ve easily gone to Leffen. But as a personification for PPMD’s life, dealing with all his struggles, he still prevailed. I hope one day this man can come back. The beautiful game of Melee needs its most beautiful player.

This is one of the greatest melee sets of all time.

I didn't know my dad was in the room with me while I was watching this and he basically heard me go, "PP, PP, PP, PP, PP, PP, PP" for 20 minutes.

How the hell does PPMD keep track of his own dash dance

PPMD's Marth is a thing of beauty.

Pp with with the god tier product placement

Half a million views, damn, I miss PPMD.

In the audience somewhere, a bird is cheering for Leffen.

PPMD has to be my favorite melee player. The way he plays is just a sight to see. The man deals with health issues and depression and all these things and he can still show up after half a year of not and wreck house. Can't wait for him to return

TrunksMD has seen 20XX in the future and travels back in time to put a stop to it.

i love how theres so much tension at

Look at

I notice PPMD nods his head and has a "Thinker" moment right after he loses a stock. It's like he's acknowledging how he lost that stock and approving Leffen for the good play.

I love it when the crowd goes "ey!" When marth does an up throw xD
