Hey, Hbox actually won a major this year, unlike M2K!

You don't say that stuff before tournaments/championships. He's already making excuses if he loses at EVO.

what an unfortunate chain of tweets
inb4 the controller has "M2K" written on it with black Sharpie
Today was an amazing Melee day.
Spent all day at a 100-player local. Great to see everybody, and a bunch of new faces (even though I kinda choked).
On top of that, this week's major was sick. Mango doing some great things, Leffen looking dominant, M2K playing pretty well even.
Can't wait to see what happens at Evo next week.

Yep, took Friday and Monday off of work. I'm so ready for this.

We need a savior.
We need 07 Mew2king where one hit = death and if a character was off stage he's not coming back.
I saw glimpses of it in those FD games versus Leffen. I haven't watched the set with Mango yet, but M2K was honestly looking like he was in pretty good form already. I'd love to be in the timeline where M2K's finances and health aren't preventing him from just going hard into being great at Melee. Reality though.

I don't know, honestly, it's refreshing to even see M2K putting up a fight with gods lately, but seeing m2k and comparing it to his old reign is like barely 65% of what he used to do, I agree with what leffen said honestly, any major sponsored player should not be dropping the chain grabs, and not only was he dropping consistently but he was doing some of the most optimal stuff when trying to convert and missing. I haven't seen it since last apex, and honestly even then I thought PPMD Marth had to work on his punish game (although his neutral was phenomenal), but I feel like even PP wouldn't of dropped that much of what m2k is expected to do.
Edit: To put up an easy example, one of the most bread and butter things m2k dropped over the weekend was failing to do opportune pivot grabs during low% chaingrabs, crimsonblur the commentator is a marth main and even I'm sure he had disappointments watching him drop basic marth building blocks.

Yeah, you see glimpses of it a lot from him. That's why it's so painful when he drops a big combo or misses an edge guard >_<
PPMD's neutral and M2K's peak punish game with Marth is what my current Marth dreams are made of.
And Mango's random tippers lol

On a lighter note, I love Mango trash talk when it's face to face.

Say what you will regarding anything else he's done, but Iwata contributed to Melee's final state and that deserves praise.
Hope he can Smash all he wants in the next life.

for Melee, all these guys should be way more than enough (how many players would you even list anyway?)
Smash 4, I'll get back to you, once you tell me how many players you want
His hands were feeling better, and then they were hurting again. He needs to stop and actually take time to recover, so he can get back to this.
After summer tournament season ends, he should consider stopping smash until Apex if that still ends up being big or the next summer tournament season.

That's right, I believe he had to fork over some dough to do it.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is his last Melee tournament, and what a tournament to go out on no matter the result. The era of the 5 Gods is ending.
So we're all in agreement that PPMD is gonna take it right?
Worked pretty well for peepee
M2k needs to chill. Put the controller down. Watch some movies. It's for the greater good.

yup, he finally used his "disappear for several months and scout everyone" tech for Evo
I hope M2K enters/entered Evo. It'd be a shame for his hiatus to start one week before it. I also hope he's ok though... wanting to see him compete is just a selfish thing from me. <.<That's right, I believe he had to fork over some dough to do it.

And yes, PPMD has it for certain. No one's going to beat him, here or anywhere for the rest of eternity </fanboy> Nah, but really I feel pretty confident in him, and really hope he takes it.

Not only that, but every match will be like Game 2 against Hax at MLG Pools, or like Game 4 against Mango at MLG Winners.
It's going to be beautiful tbh.

Those angled ftilts tho
That techjump to recover, and then he ends it with the ken combo tho
PP's Marth and PewPewU are the only Marth players who don't fill me with rage. Watching them play, they astound me with their smooth and clean movement.
With M2K and Hbox on the way out and Mango looking less like the dominant #1 he was last year, I think PP is America's best defense against the Swedish threat in the coming months. What about you guys? Maybe some surprise upsets by others in the top 15? I'm hoping PewPew and Westballz finally break that barrier into godhood.

to this day, the cleanest fox play I've ever seen
fucking destruction
PP's about to make Mango, Leffen, Armada, HBox, M2K, and everyone else look like they're just Tubes.

Falcon player did get a nice tech at the end there.
I never hit those. But I'm tremendously bad, so.

20 would be good.
I will accept just one.
I wish there was a version without the music.

Bruh, you got Mr. R on there twice. Fix it! :O
Anti isn't listed. He got 9th? at CEO with no practice lol.
theprodigy

you saw nothing
I don't see him listed anywhere, also 9th!=13th
Yeah I meant I think he could be listed since you had Mr. R twice.
But I just remembered he's not going to Evo. Also yeah I checked and he got 13th :x
