TBH8 SSBM - TSM | Leffen (Fox) Vs. C9 | Mang0 (Falco) - Smash Melee Winners Semis 

Im super sad that my favorite mario odyssey speedrunner stopped playing singles. But at least we got these 2

as funny as this comment is it really puts some shit into perspective

Ive seen this comment twice. I give that means i owe you a like

Wow i didnt expect to know ALL three of these games

Bless you.

Mango on FD had me squealing because I was just so like "OMG MANGO IS DOING MANGO SHIT"

Or you know... Playing Goku vs Vegeta on literally any Dragonball game... That's gotta be pretty close right

HypeHypest don’t be a buzzkill guy

You're soo right! haha

@@hypehypest9292 before DBFZ came out this wasn't true at all

Wouldn't have happened if Broly didn't retire though.

dinojack9000 so true

dinojack9000 damnn that was so low

I literally jumped out of my seat when I saw him follow that up with the down air it was amazing to say the least

One of the dopest moments in Melee. When Mango popped off after the dair and the crowd went nuts was so exciting. Mango brings the hype way more than any other player. Shame he couldn't follow it up in this tournament against Hbox and Plup. It's a bummer time to be a Mango fan, especially after witnessing runs like Royal Flush. Though moments like this are still awesome.

3rd at BH8 is still pretty massive, people forget there was a time Mang0 was getting 16th and 17th at tournaments. He's def on the come-up right now

I think Mango's issue is he gets frustrated at himself, at then his play suffers. You can see in the player cam how visually frustrated he gets, trying to calm himself down.

For sure. Definitely lost some of his mindset ability that allowed him to win some clutch tourneys in the past. Seems a lot more easily frustrated

in my opinion, he does so well against leffen because he really respects him. most players he doesn't have such a high level of respect for, and it seems when he gets frustrated that it's more of "how am i losing to this" instead of "this is me messing this up and it's infuriating". you can see this when somebody in chat once asked him "why don't you ever practice vs sheik?" and he said "the only prominent sheiks are like... swedish. oh, and plup" and while that's true, he also has a very choppy record vs plup's sheik. i think he just still sees plup as a top 25 player and not one of the very best at the game across multiple characters.

Mango is really good at the falco fox matchup!

Actually...Mang0 always compliments Plup on his skill. He always says Plup is the fastest player, and that literally all of his mains are lightning fast. He also said he thinks Falco beats Sheik...until he faces Plup, then Sheik beats Falco. He also said he feels like asking Plup "Can you let me play" when Plup's tech chasing him because he never drops it. Heck, Mang0 even said Hbox has skill and isn't as lame as he used to be. Long story short, Mang0 has respect for all of the top 6 members when it comes to their skill...except Mew2King. Seems like his playstyle still genuinely triggers Mang0. :') But yeah, one of the reasons I like Mang0 is because he respects his opponents and is a no-johns type of guy, even when he plays Falco. Edit: On yesterday's stream, Mang0 said that he still plays like he doesn't respect the players. He said he knows how much skill Hbox has but deep down, he still plays like he can do whatever he wants because back in the day, he could pick any character and destroy everyone when he was the best. So I guess we're both right because he definitely said both things. XD

@@robbyz512 imagine

Ehhhh Mango and Leffen both had some flubs, but it was great nonetheless.

Nah Leff was not on it, Mango had godlike reads though

You're understating how well Leffen was playing. Mango was definitely playing better though.

@@Pan_Z I mean, this is 2018 Leffen has nothing left to prove, he is the top of the top of course. All I'm saying is I've seen almost all of their sets in the last few years and Leffen was not playing the match up as well as I've seen him do before.

"Leffen has nothing left to prove." He hasn't been ranked #1 yet, so yes he still does. What do you mean Leffen's not playing the match up as well as "you've seen him do before." He was playing it exactly how he has in the past, and that was the problem. Mango's been practicing. He was faster than Leffen, and out playing him through baits and out maneuvers. Go watch Ginger's recent analysis if you want to see how.

That shit's about to turn 20.

Easily the hypest set of top 8, but I think rishi vs zain was even better than this one

It was the best of top 8, but top 8 didn't really have any good sets tbh. Top 64 had quite a few matches better than this (e.g. Zain Rishi).

bananas v fiction tho.

4 years later and look whos the best again

He went on to get 3-0ed by both Plup and Hbox.

@@Pan_Z he beat the guy who 3 od both of em at Evo tho.....

@@txxxj4752 Leffen vs Hbox went 2-1 at Evo.

@@Pan_Z oh ty.

He is washed up. This is just what washed up Mang0 is capable of.

God killer

Walter M GOTCHA BISH

4 C lmao she’s always there “LETS GO MANGOOO”

His wife

Tawk.

I KNOOOOOOWWW!!! I was literally on the edge of my seat when that happened! Why the b-air!?

NOICE probably just a reference to Melee’s in game crowd cheering FALLLCOOO FALLCOO

Basically, it's the Mango chant lol If you dont know the history, Mango played people from out of the country and when the crowd cheered for him they would chant USA, bottom line instead of yelling Mango, they chant USA

what are u talking about, did u even click the timestamp?

Ha ha ha ha! Clearly not. But on another similar note, I hate it when the in-game crowd chants my character's name because usually seconds after that, I die.

He didn’t win lmao

Ivan P leffen played horribly pfffft

1... 2... **fast-forwards to the end** ... not enough.
