Apex 2015 - PPMD Interview 

JVFitness23 Hbox is dope

Jarl Ulfric I'm a big fan of his as well. They are my top 2

Jarl Ulfric Hbox is fake, can't you tell?

Met Hungrybox at Evo this year. He's kinda full of himself. It's not just for show

my original post before evo says i'm sure they're all good guys. Evo changed my belief. He's not an a-hole or anything of that nature, but he genuinely carries himself as though he's better than others

He won last Apex too

+Derper 5000 he was talking about the first Apex, he's the only one to win any Apex melee singles.

That is the most perfect analogy to describe him.

He's like the guy in a chick flick that moves away in the beginning and comes back to marry the main character in the end.

@UltimateShamrock Hell yeah! I'd tell her to get the best outfit for the occasion too. Then I'd ask him "So how what it?" lol PPMD for life.

The good kid your parents want for you because of how respectful he seems

Step 1: drink a liter of monster energy Step 2: play broken range characters like Marth

zackolot yeah just play marth guys! thats obviously all it takes!

zackolot Butthurt leffen, mango, or armada fan. You just can't even tell anymore.

I'm sure zackolot was just making a joke, but if he's serious... he is so clearly a scrub that there is no point in even responding.

Edmond Dantès Pointing out the joke makes it lose its value. If people take it seriously then laugh at them. Hell, I'm laughing at you because you weren't so sure yourself.

Me too! Hope PPMD comes back soon. Either to Melee or Ultimate, anything! We miss him!

@@mrm64 He doesn't enjoy playing Ultimate :/ But he streams Melee regularly on Twitch:)

I agree dude! Though I have to wonder, how the hell can anyone hate PPMD, jesus, he's so friendly.

Ikr? it could be a leading factor to his success as well.

I was thinking the exact same thing when watching this...it makes me stoked

He didn't seem anxious at all

Radio Melee :)

Golden Guardians :)

Wut

Never again can I see PPMD in the same light

Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman imagines everyone talking with Morgan Freemans voice

ill never unhear

i have hopes for him too. nobody is going to apex this year though. it's more like a regional this year.

what happened?

thugjuice69 Nothing... literally.

i think i remember gimr coming in at the end and saying like it was the 2015 stream and it was like 3am in the morning. I fell asleep watching top 8 but woke up for that lil tidbit.

Judai64 Regular 60hz CRT, like.. I dont even get the question

Hans Wurst I want it to serve as a gaming PC monitor as well.... Sorry should have stated that too.

If you ask me I'd say get both, CRT's doesnt even cost anything so...

Hans Wurst I would, but I wanna record my gameplay and my capture card can't do that through a CRT, but I guess I would eventually get both.

Judai64 yo man I definitely read "anus monitor" my b

TargetHippo Depression is getting the best of him it seems..

Jarl Ulfric wah wah

Omar Kanawati But there are no videos with him playing..?

he won doubles though.

he was sick all weekend and got knocked out by shroomed before top 8

M2k isn't that amazing anymore

Jyft Isn't that amazing anymore? Just a short while prior at Paragon 2015 the guy got 1st in PM 1st in SSB4 and 2nd in Melee. Lets be fair here. He's still crazy good.

+cpthurme That act of it being "natural" is actually being really good at watching your opponents and analysing data. You do it the same way. The data is just less organic in smash, than in a physical sport. But still pretty organic-- he's analysing someone's decision making, how someone adapts--- he is like a wolf watching a fawn.

+Spenceland Haha oh yeah you're right! Thx : )

+cpthurme PPMD doesn't believe in natural talent.

He goes to locals occasionally, but there aren't very many tournaments in NC.

***** what? Bullcrap, there are tournaments in raleigh all the time. PPMD lives in an apartment with two other smashers, in apartment complex with like 13 smashers all in walking distance. There is always smash being played. Hell, last weekend we had a 100+ person local

qaywsx583 The last csgo major had over a million viewers.

BananaSopuli Seems like things have changed after DHW 2013. Well not for the better of the community as the cancer started shortly after that.

I would like to know this as well. I bought a BenQ monitor and I would like to know if this is affecting me. I want to enter a tournament and I don't want to be so off when I play on a CRT.

+Judai64 Yes, CRT monitors have zero display lag, while the display on any HD monitor, even super high quality ones, would at the least be roughly 1 frame. Because the game looks no better on an HD monitor than a CRT, and because the CRT has less lag, and because CRTs are so much cheaper, they only play on them at tournaments. However, if you play on a BenQ and you want to enter a tournament you will perform just as well on a CRT. CRTs also have a different refresh pattern, which can mess up people when they switch to LCDs if they only play on CRTs.

+BorgMuffinMan Sounds good to me man. Sorry for the super late response. Would you know anything about an Asus monitor? I'm thinking about getting one.

Judai64 I love asus monitors, they seem to be the best price/performace ratio compared to any monitors I can find. I got one for roughly 110 bucks and it's the best monitor I've ever had

+BorgMuffinMan Cool because PP mentioned in the interview about the monitor messing him up and I don't want that.

Fuck Brawl

No need to get yo panties in a bunch bruh. If you don't know how to answer a question from a comment then you shouldn't bother commenting.

Brawl wasn't streamed by VGBC, so it won't be uploaded on this channel. I don't remember which streamer hosted Brawl, but check their youtube to see if it's there.

Now thats a sensible answer. Thanks bro

I think it was streamed by Team Spooky, but I could be wrong.

+Justin Leich roughly 7,000 dollars. Unfortunately, tournament winnings are taxed heavily very heavily so he probably got about 5000

+BorgMuffinMan do they really tax tourney winnings? I've never heard of that. I guess it's only for big tournaments.

ThatNintendoBro yeah tournament winnings are placed in a similar tax category to lotto winnings and that kind of stuff. The company that runs Apex is so big they have to register all of their activities with the gov't, otherwise they would be in some serious shit, so everything they do is taxed
