On the one hand, I want Hungrybox to win.

On the other hand, that was some lame ass shit.

 

[El Sloth]

Man people have ADHD, these matches are fine.

Seriously.

Must be all the red bull people were chugging to stay awake and watch the salty suite last night

 

[Omega]

Sudden death should be in the rules.

To avoid this crap from happening.

or just outplay your opponent

its not like that strategy is op otherwise Hbox would be the one on the brink of a 3peat

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Do we really need a Melee vs Smash 4 discussion? Do we really? :|

I agree. No more Smash 4.

 

[Spinosaurus]

The overreactions in this thread over that match are embarrassing

 

[Lazulic]

this thread is great, people who dont play melee telling people the correct way to play melee "why 4 stocks why 8 minutes TOO LONG" like lmao

Sudden death should be in the rules.

To avoid this crap from happening.

yeah thats a great fuckin idea bro. top

 

[Rainy]

lmao this thread

 

[Kouichi]

There's nothing wrong with Hbox camping. You do what you got to do to win.

But man, I am definitely rooting for Armada.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

Everyone needs to understand how much of an anomaly Puff is, and especially Hungrybox's current playstyle.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Smash 4 has x-factor lameness at 100% though so....

Why is that so bad? And I mean, it's not like similar stuff doesn't happen in some other non-smash fighting games

 

[bigmit3737]

It was 180k for Mortal Kombat X

Really?! EVO is getting huge.

 

[DNAbro]

You should care when people stop showing up for tournaments lol

hungrybox playing like this doesn't stop people from coming to tournaments

 

[nubbe]

Hbox is naked now

NAKED!!

 

[NotLiquid]

Is Melee operating on stage strikes? How could Hbox not strike FD?

 

[jett]

Tbh I think timeouts are hype as fuck

Street Fighter X Tekken must be your favorite game ever.

 

[AdanVC]

Melee has 160 k people watching. Smash Wii U had around 100 k.

Damn the hype for Melee will never die right?

 

[Nanashrew]

157,000 Viewers for Melee! Damm that's a EVO record right.

188k for MKX then dropped during break to 140k. It's steadily rising back up.

 

[BigBadShamoo]

That was a huge salt cutout in the crowd lol

 

[Anteo]

God dammt, if its not HBox camping, Armada is..

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Armada has a HUUUUUGE advantage here on FD. Smaller blast zones and no platforms. Fox also has infinite chain grab.

 

[kewlmyc]

I didn't see anything easy about the position he was in as a Jigglypuff tbh

I admit, I don't know much about Melee, but Fox was at over 120% while Jiggly was at less than 50%. Does Jiggly have a hard time getting the kill?

 

[Gr1mLock]

If hungrybox can make this many smash fans upset, he has made a new fan today.

 

[MasterForm]

It's not the most fun to watch but I can at least respect what he is doing. It doesn't matter how people win.

3-hour timeslot and this one match is about 20 minutes away from taking one hour by itself.

 

[Kriken]

The overreactions in this thread over that match are embarrassing

I love how people are acting like this is representative of Melee in general, lol

 

[I-hate-u]

Man people have ADHD, these matches are fine.

 

[Conceited]

guys its already 10pm in europe fuck your time outs

 

[Azure J]

Man people have ADHD, these matches are fine.

I like the people complaining about Hbox's lame play like Armada laser camping with Fox isn't the same ting but "gunz are haip gaiz".

 

[Omega]

this thread is great, people who dont play melee telling people the correct way to play melee "why 4 stocks why 8 minutes TOO LONG" like lmao

i don't play Smash but this is like when people complain about Guile or Sim in Street Fighter

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Guess people will look forward to Melee not at EVO next year.

I still think its absurd there were 2 smash games on main stage 1 title per franchise that should be the rule.

 

[GuardianE]

FD is RL

I have zero issue with how HungryBox is playing. I'm enjoying these matches.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Mang0 is probably concerned that this could hurt Melee'd rep at EVO.

 

[Frankenstrat]

I've seen a few platforms irl

 

[Anteo]

No platforms in real life

Mang0 is probably concerned that this could hurt Melee'd rep at EVO.

I'm sure he will pass out drinking in the venue while thinking about that :lol

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

lol good thing he didn't pull a MyGod

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Intense match, lol at the people crying "this is booooring"

Well to be honest that shit was boring as fuck, but I respect it and I love some good turtling.

 

[sixteen-bit]

FD is real life.

 

[MandrakeUK]

"Tell me... TELL MEEEEE!!!

Are there platforms in real life?"

-_________-

 

[Aaronrules380]

I love how people are acting like this is representative of Melee in general, lol

I've watched Melee before. It's not usually this long, but I still think Smash 4 is just way more fun to watch personally

 

[BassForever]

Jigglypuff is one of my mains but ugh

 

[Lulubop]

guys its already 10pm in europe fuck your time outs

Take a nap and stop shitting up the thread with your crying, damn dude.

 

[Geminosity]

I missed Yesterday's stream, did the Melee fans barge in and boo the Smash 4 players again?

When don't they?

 

[J@hranimo]

Toph has spoken

He ain't wrong either lol

 

[KZXcellent]

I'm willing to ignore Hbox's tactics cause he's using Puff. There isn't much variety in Melee top 16/8.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Mang0 is probably concerned that this could hurt Melee'd rep at EVO.

TBH last year wasn't much different and Wizard still put it on Sunday over the new game. This won't mean a damn thing.

 

[V-Faction]

8 minute timeouts...

That's like.. 5 MKX matches in Imperial (or about 3.5 Guilty Gear matches in Metric).

 

[Pappasman]

I'm willing to ignore Hbox's tactics cause he's using Puff. There isn't much variety in Melee top 16/8.

This is just straight up untrue.

 

[SmackAttack]

The overreactions in this thread over that match are embarrassing

The overreactions about Smash as a whole is. Both Melee and Smash 4 are great and deserve to be at EVO. This particular match up tends to be long and boring but I doubt the others will be. I'm not a fan of time outs and I get so tired of all the Foxes but that's just me.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

I still think its absurd there were 2 smash games on main stage 1 title per franchise that should be the rule.

Say good bye to SF4 next year then.

Seriously, everyone needs to calm down. This is the second match of Top 8. Come on.

 

[bigmit3737]

Is this best of 3 or 5? These matches are kind of long so I'm hoping best of 3.

 

[Swarna]

No disrespect to hbox gotta do what you gotta do but for the sake of being able to watch SF4 for once....

GO ARMADAAAAAA
