+Not William Magardician I only stated that whenever Hbox is playing super on-point. You're correct that he did play pretty bad against Armada and Mang0 lel
Mark B. They both love playing each other. Mango after the set "I love going in against armada, its a thrill I either get 12% or die" i thought that was pretty funny
Correct. I remember watching this and showing it to my friend who doesn't really watch smash later that week and he was blown away. The end of the 2nd place master.
>Be me, Armada >Be best melee player in the world >Undefeated in 2017 >Go to Royal Flush. Just another day in the office. >Get to GF winners side. Start thinking about celebration. >Fat man alcoholic who I beat already makes it to GF. Well, ok. >Fat man wins set 1. Alright, alright I need a bathroom break. >Game 5 set 2. How is this happening? >Fat man wins set 2. Fucking Alex19 rushes stage. >"What the fack."
Yea they're talking about mango entering grand finals in losers and beating armada 2 sets in a row to win the tournament, which he hasn't done since Genesis 1
Sadly but yeah, I guess that mango deserves this, and at the end, Armada said that he can't be too hard on himself after all this time that remained unbeatable. Though, its pretty funny for me to see how everyone goes crazy when Armada doesn' win, like , if melee isn't about the rivalries anymore, instead, it's just about not letting Armada win XD.
Favorite moments: 19:56 Mang0 survives the insurvivable 20:11 Member of the crowd screaming the most terrified "NO!" I've ever heard 20:30 Mango's reaction when he resets the bracket 37:53 Mang0 dash-dances into charged upsmash 37:57 Waffles and Phil poke fun at the crowd rooting for Mang0 39:08 Waffles and Phil try to guess what's going on based on in-game sound 42:24 Waffles and Phil got hope into "uhh maybe not?" 45:55 Mango's face when he realizes he's won
this was top 5 most hype sets of all time in melee. if you're watching this from any time non recent, you don't understand the energy that was in the air from all platforms watching, at the event or commentating. this needed to happen to melee.
Not only did they go 2-1 in sets and play all possible 15 games, but at the end Mango hugs Armada, and even as the crowd celebrates with Mango, you see Adam smile. Obviously both players wanted to win, but in the end they were just happy to push one another’s limits and have a good set.
Can you guys imagine how crazy scar would've gone when he saw the mangle at the end of game 5 first set if he was commentating? Let's go Mang0 back on the board.
9:54 What they say here is exactly it. Later in one of his analysis Mang0 will reveal that Tafo told him to go marth on FD so he wouldn't feel bad if he lost. Coaching top players isn't just telling them the best thing to do but it's also knowing psychology.
If that was a movie that was the greatest one I've ever watched. Fox the hero against the archvillian Peach. 19:54 When Armada faired him off stage into the abyss and dropped down everyone knew it was over. But while Mango was down there its like time stopped.. and the Melee gods or sakurai or whatever higher power spoke to Mango and said "this is your last chance kid." And the rest is history.
man, for some reason i love armada i mean even he hasnt the people, he lives with it. he has way more respect than leffen. smash love and bad english from germany✌
I'll always say that this is the greatest set of the modern era of Melee, rivaled only by Grand Finals of Apex 2015 and EVO 2016 - interestingly, Armada lost in each one, perhaps a testament to how important he is to this game's history. Each of those victories meant so much to those respective players and their own struggles and triumphs at the time. This is what I think of when I think of Melee.
I mean Amanda when he retired was the goat. And since 3 years after your comment which took like 2 more top 5 melee sets of all time by melee to make it way more comman that mang0 is just the goat. It shows how dominant Armada run was
@@hibiki8473 I'm actually happy to be reminded of my comment and this set from 5 years ago, especially just after Mango claiming another Summit haha Big House 6 comes to mind as another top-tier Mango/Armada grands from this era. I'm curious what you think those new all-time sets of Melee were, since then? In my opinion, they were Big House 9 grands and Summit 11 grands... which, interestingly enough, featured Mango/Zain It's kinda funny how both Armada and Zain are in some of the best sets of Melee history, but both of them lost. Almost like they were the final boss... and yet, time and time again, Mango does the impossible :')
Im glad Armada didn't take another tournament, its been so long since hes been dethroned. and while i think Mango is the best person to take the W I actually want to see some new blood control the top spots. Leffen has been slumping and I can't wait to see if he has the GOML plot armor like mangos mothers day armor.
My favorite part rewatching this is seeing Armada's smile while Mang nation rushes the stage at 46:00 a competitor, with a true love for the game and community :)
Best Grand Finals this year, and is competing with Mango vs Leffen @ G4, Mew2King vs Plup @ Summit 2017, and Wizzrobe vs Hbox Set 1 @ Rivalries for Set of the Year (so far)
What's with all this hate on Mang0? He's still easily top 5 in Melee, him winning a tournament, on Mother's Day no less, really shouldn't be too much of a surprise
Brian Stewart lol mango is def not top 5. r/smashbros aka the #1 authority for smash news says he is top 20 at best. the top 5 are armada armada armada hbox chu 👏
45:55 Seeing even Mang0 being surprised by his upsmash hitting Armada put a smile on my face. He couldn't believe it. Like "I did it??? I FUCKING DID IT!!!!"
19:56 people like to say armada got greedy here, but ive seen him do this exact combo so many times. Pretty much every fox up b's immediately after the first fair but mango is fucking crazy and dipped extra low to avoid the fair
Can't believe Armada was playing like this back in 2017. Hope he can return sometime in 2021 where everyone seems to be playing with a crazy punish game.
Absolutely amazing set. Also Mango going Marth wasn't that "crazy" If you go back and watch WTFOX 2 Mango 3-0d Armada in Grand Finals on winners side. The 3rd game on FD he went red marth.
I knew Mango would be the one to stop him. I don't think any of the other gods have it in them to beat current Armada. I hope he keeps the buster at bay for a while, these are the sets that keep Melee alive.
Armada's peach is a work of art. How come the commentators aren't mentioning this more often? Armada does things that shouldn't be possible in this game. :/
47:33 Feels fucking good man. We can all be friendly with each other, as long as we have a greater goal in mind. All you "fans" out there, quit starting shit/beef with each other and instead, HUG IT OUT MOTHER FUCKERS!
45:56 "And here you can see in it's natural habitat which only comes around on a rare ecliptic cycle the Whale jumps for joy as it is destined to win at least one every 5 years."
Mango vs Leffen probably had better play overall but this set A. Had fucking amazing play and B. Meant something to melee. B1. Mango is not in fact a washed up alcoholic mario kart streamer and B2. ARMADA BLEEDS HARD.
honestly of the 9 major categories of mu (just permuations of fast faller (spacies and captain falcon) midfaller (most of the cast) and floaty (puff peach icies and samus) fast vs floaty is the most interesting mu
Ok but they also praised and aknowledged Armada a TON. People act like they shit on armada. No one does, the excitement of the storyline just favors the underdog which is literally ANYONE vs the man that almost never loses.
