That was kind of a baffling decision by Wizzrobe. Why would you walk off after throwing Peach off stage instead of dash dance run jump? I guess he just kind of reactively tried to run jump but had no space to run.

Pappasman · May 22, 2016

M2K vs Leffen was intense, but M2K choked the last game hard. Random whiffed Fsmash got punished by Leffen after some sloppy exchanges.

chaosblade · May 22, 2016

Watching a Ganon/Samus matchup in top 16 is kind of crazy.

I saw that n0ne SD coming from lightyears away.

Two Falcons in top 12? What is this?

Did I really just miss n0ne beating M2K? Geeze.

Azalean · May 22, 2016

N0NEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Bakkus · May 22, 2016

Sigh, M2K.

chaosblade · May 23, 2016

LOL at the Canadians singing O Canada.

Anteo · May 23, 2016

none
my god that last game

Fugu · May 23, 2016

So close by n0ne. Still an incredible showing.

I'm not a Falcon player but I'm alright with 20GX.

Jigolo · May 23, 2016

Are they playing NTSC or PAL?

NTSC. It's Canada.

Thanks.

Melee is hype as fuck right now

EDIT: TSM TSM TSM

Mango vs Armada for 5th. Canada is weird.

And Mango is playing Falcon. What am I watching?

Mango looking crispy.

Josue · May 23, 2016

no fucking wayyyyyy

NO FUCKING WAYYYYYY

(Mango please take this)

Fugu · May 23, 2016

What.

I wasn't sure who to root for in this match (like Peach, like Mango) but I'm satisfied with this outcome.

Bakkus · May 23, 2016

Armada flopping even bigger than M2K did. Yikes.

GamerJM · May 23, 2016

Mango is the best kind of crazy.

Naaah, not even close. Losing to n0ne (and the first Falcon loss in a decade) is flopping harder than losing to Mango.

Jigolo · May 23, 2016

Just signed this. Didn't realize just how easy it was. Should I make a thread about it? We are close...

Fugu · May 23, 2016

I love Hbox, guys.

Josue · May 23, 2016

Taunt to get bodied combo lmaoooo

Anteo · May 23, 2016

Hbox touched Leffen 3 times and Leffen died

Fugu · May 23, 2016

Incredible set so far.

chaosblade · May 23, 2016

That shine was brilliant.

Anteo · May 23, 2016

Shine is a thing in that situation?

Bakkus · May 23, 2016

That was a great shine by Leffen!

For their own standards. You can argue M2K was unlucky against Leffen, you can't say the same regarding Armada. Don't think the latter has ever lost a game against Mango's Falco which he also threw away.

chaosblade · May 23, 2016

Only because Hbox went too deep. He had no reason to be down that far. He might not have been able to make it regardless (and Leffen could have potentially gimped him), but the shine finished it right there.

Nothing1016 · May 23, 2016

I believe in the Loser's Run mang0

chaosblade · May 23, 2016

This Mango Lucky game is practically an ad for his stream, lol.

That combo, all the way across Dreamland and back.

Pappasman · May 23, 2016

Leffen v Hbox was a great set. I love the narrative of leffen finally coming back and showing his true power level.

emb · May 23, 2016

Really hope Mango makes grands. Would be incredible if Leffen beats M2K, Armada, Hbox, and Mango in the same day.

chaosblade · May 23, 2016

That rollout lol.

emb · May 23, 2016

If I was Hbox I'd be so mad right now at that guy with the horn or whatever. Sounds like an obnoxious noise even from here lol.

chaosblade · May 23, 2016

Best Melee is when you don't know who is going to win and one person isn't super dominant. 2016 looking like a great year.

"USA USA USA"

"We're in Canada though..."

Fugu · May 23, 2016

This is some scary shit.

jediyoshi · May 23, 2016

yooooooooooooooo

Jigolo · May 23, 2016

this is why mango is one of my favprite players with m2k

chaosblade · May 23, 2016

Mango Marth?

Canada is weird.

That was a huge win for Leffen. Huuuuge.

Fugu · May 23, 2016

Everything about this was crazy. Can't ask for more from a tournament.

motherxwolf · May 23, 2016

mannn that was so good!

Anteo · May 23, 2016

@TSM_Leffen
Get on my fucking level.

I like Leffen

GamerJM · May 23, 2016

That was crazy.

Fidelis Hodie · May 23, 2016

fck lffn

But seriously, amazing tournament. Mango 3-1'ing armada AND hungry is just insane. N0ned and Lucky had crazy, crazy sets and runs themselves. It's really great to have Leffen back in the mix, the scene needs him for sure.

mango marth, mango fox, mango falcon, mango falco . . there's a reason he's the GOAT. dude's crazy.

Sami+ · May 23, 2016

That was the best tournament since Genesis. Fuckin Leffen, man... incredible.

Pappasman · May 23, 2016

So fucking good. I'm really happy Leffen won. Mango should have went out there for the last recovery on FD though. Bad airdodge too.

It really looked like he was just messing around haha.

Nothing1016 · May 23, 2016

Genisis 3 - 2nd
PAX Arena - 2nd
Battle of the Five Gods - 2nd
Pound 2016 - 2nd
Smash Summit 2 - 4th
EGLX - 2nd
DreamHack Austin 2016 - 1st
GOML - 2nd

2nd place master. -.-

He's this years 2014 Armada and 2015's Hungrybox.

FZZ · May 23, 2016

Hearing that people were chanting Chokebox and there was a fucking airhorn?

Lmfao Christ Melee fans remain toxic

Hey man the airhorn was awesome.

Holy Order Sol · May 23, 2016

Airhorns should be common practice

I feel like if you asked me to rank the top 5 right now, I wouldn't know what to do. There was a point where certain players were free to others and there was a clear cut #1, but at this point, I feel like anything can happen when two of them step up and it's amazing.

Yep. Like I said before, that's when Melee is at it's best.

Most people are more interested in the gods and whatnot since they actually win tournaments, but I actually find myself more interested in that next (massive) tier of players, specifically because you never know what's going to happen with them. With GOML you have Lucky playing amazing and making 4th behind the gods, before that Wizzrobe had an amazing run, SFAT has had a couple great tournaments recently, etc.

The more the top players trade sets, the more interesting they are.

And fortunately M2K came away from the tournament with a pretty positive attitude. He was happy he played well in Smash 4 (convincingly 3-0'd Zero) and said he didn't practice Melee at all. Regardless, it's nice to see Sad2King ramblings on twitter.
