hey it's better late than never
What ever happened to PPDM? I haven't seen him at any tournaments recently.
>>336804365
he said he wished he was going but it was too short notice after he got his temp visa
but he's fucking back and my boy is winning GOML
>>336804498
low T, he's been trying to get healthier and exercise more.
he'll definitely be back by EVO unless something drastic happens.Yuri Nation

>tfw you realize that goofy mofo has a gf
>>336804882
Most of the ultra-awkward/goofy-looking Smash players have girlfriends (some of them are cute, too). They're probably just as quirky as they are.
That should motivate you; you can find your autistic cutie, too.
>sheik vs. sheik
>sheik vs. peach
bravo gimr, really trying to make these pools as good as possible
>>336805217
I don't want to associate with people like myself.
Wife is such a fucking fossil, why the heck do him and Husband get to do Top 8
>>336806056
Wife is fucking godlike newfag
>>336806270
>newfag
if i was a newfag wouldn't i be praising him because his random tangents make up half of the fucking documentary?
he's out of touch with the scene and explains the game like there are 7-year-olds watching
>get a sidespot at dreamhack
>explain some shit during the first few matches for all the new people that are bound to be watching
wow :o
EE and TK doing Pokken for anyone interested
>>336806505
>:o
I've got some official Dreamhack 2007 t-shirts still unused in their original casing.
You could only get them from competing in Dreamhack competitions and were relatively rare.
Do you think they could be worth something some day? Dreamhack seem to be growing.
>>336804365
>Leffen's last stream with Komm Susser Tod playing while he's watching HBox wins
truly our guy
>>336807286
of course, but isn't Dreamhack even older than that? i can imagine they'd be more if they were form the inaugural event.
i'd hold onto them anyway. that's cool you went though - was it for counter strike?
>Always see frauds on /v/ and /ssbg/ claim they get top 8 at socal weeklies/locals

>no replies every time
yeah guy im sure you really win your ultra-stacked non-streamed non-challonge non-smash.gg non-recorded weeklies with G&W every week..... yare yare daze
>>336803732
Is a neon blue tint all it takes to be esports?
My Boy SFAT making top 4, i think he'll beat m2k like he did at Genesis too.
CLG looking good right now for picking him up.
>>336807914
that and putting a monitor with a logo on it behind the commentators
>>336807914
and ya know, being at Dreamhack. just based on the commentators alone you can tell this event is trying to be as 'professional' as possible.
>>336801580
>our guy ESAM
dont even joke about that shit
>dat boi meme in twitch chat
Fuck didn't know it hit the normies yet.
>>336807286
Yes. Esports shit is growing, so long as dreamhack doesn't have some scandal that ruins it's image their stuff should become a bit more valuable.
>yfw ChillinDude gets upset in pools
>Wobbles commentary later
>>336803509
I like smash4 but it's obvious nintendo doesn't want smash as a competitive thing and they're pushing pokken into the FGC, not saying that's a bad thing but that's exactly what theyre doing
>>336810108
he threw his controller when he got beat by silentspectre and then punched a wall when ice beat him......why????
>>336810272
The only thing that's obvious is that nintendo is trying to promote a new, and arguably risky ip by forcing it into the limelight, it has nothing to do with not wasn't smash competitive or they would've put their foot down over the last 14 years
>>336807573
I refuse to believe anyone noteworthy actually goes on /ssbg/ and /v/. It's always shitters that scream IM GOOD TRUST ME because they played back in 2007 or at some friends house a couple times and they watch streams.
/v/ is anitsocial as fuck and is a crybaby over everything
>>336810434
Because he's passionate about the game?
When you're as talented as wobbles but frequently mess up in tournament and can see yourself making mistakes as they happen it's fucking infuriating. Some people can contain it, but anyone who loves winning will get frustrated when they play like shit.
>>336810743
nah he just has anger problems
>>336810846
So does Leffen but somehow he gets free pass because he just takes it out on Twitter.
who the fuck is this
>>336811202
? where are you seeing him
>>336811202
the next god of smash
Wife finally off commentary
>another free tourney for Godbox
>another tourney where Mango loses for the 20th time in a row
All is right in the world.
how the fuck does Blur know so much about the game but still be fucking terrible at playing it
>>336811921
Nope, the GOAT is taking this. He's been practicing hard and he said he has the perfect mix of stylish play/reads/slightly more camping than usual. This one's for him.
What did he mean by this?
>>336812308
mang0 nation says that like every tournament.
and he still lost to Armada even when people said mang0 is playing at his peak at G3.
you're not the GOAT anymore, it's Armada
>>336812720
Mang0 still won a set vs. Armada, cleanly destroyed PPMD, beat Hungrybox, etc at the tournament. He lost because of Peach's stupid chaingrab on FD.
Not saying Armada isn't the better player right now, but mang0 is still a huge threat at every tourney.
my boy c foy moving on to grand finals vs hungrybox lerts fucking go
>>336812308
Perhaps that would actually be believeable if he actually had won something this year.
Must be hard to lick the balls of some washed up loser, just to see him get pounded everytime.
>>336812915
yeah, he's a threat to maybe take sets of them.
but Armada and Hungrybox are a tier above him, until mang0 takes a tournament over them
>>336812915
>He lost because of Peach's stupid chaingrab on FD
yea it's not like Fox still beats her on that stage or anything
>>336813242
noone chaingrabs like me
im the chaingrabber
bro
>>336813242
Dude Armada beats fucking Leffen on that stage. That chaingrab is one of the freest things in Melee.

young Hbox and PP lel
just uploaded by Sleepyk
>>336801580
what do you guys think hbox is gonna do with his winnings this time?
>>336813618
and Fox wins that matchup like on every other stage.
mang0's fault for not being good enough on them
>>336813752
Well considering 2nd place is only $1000, i'm guessing he'll book a few flights for his next tournies?
>>336814005
>2016
>mang0 being the GOAT
>>336813618
oh wow
so since he 4stocked Leffen on Fountain, I guess that stage is literally 90-10 for Peach?
>>336814005
mang0 dick riders are insufferable
face it senpai; he's not even top 5 right now. if he ever wins another major it'll be by sheer luck. the 2014 looking mang0 we saw at Gen3 was his last hurrah. thats his high water mark, and it wasnt good enough to win a tourney in the current meta. sadly.
its over for him
>>336814378
Mango only lost Genesis because he forgot the Peach matchup. He rekt Armada when Armada used Fox, if he had gotten a reminder on how to play against Peach he would have detroyed Armada.
>>336814378
>not even top 5 right now
I agree that mango fans are annoying af but dont be delusional
>>336814167
>acting like Fountain isn't a good peach stage
>its a "top play cocksucker johning for said top player even when the player himself doesnt make excuses for their losses" episode
>>336814824
>he forgot the Peach matchup
his fucking fault, if you want to be the best you shouldn't forget matchups you're probably gonna face
>>336814378
dude he's clearly top 3, and right behind armada/hbox.
why act like hungrybox/mang0 sets haven't been close besides EGLX? why act like mang0 hasn't beaten armada twice this year?
>>336814974
>responding seriously to these idiots
He just got outplayed, plain and simple. He doesnt have a Peach problem, he doesnt have an Armada problem, he doesnt have any excuses, Armada just had better fundamentals and punishes, mango himself would probably tell you this
>>336815281
He would have won if he remembered the matchup. It requires a playstyle that Mango isn't used to doing, but he has the ability to play that well enough to always beat Armada. He simply forgot to switch to the Peach playstyle. It is not a Peach problem, it was just a simple mistake, it was a fluke. He has probably learnt his lesson now, and will never lose ot Peach again.
>>336815227
right behind plup and m2k too tbqh fampai
>>336815546
Who is this? post your tag
Should I main Falcon or Sheik?
>>336815501
except he lost to Armada's Peach at SS2 after that.
Armada is the better player, just admit it.
he's the GOAT now, mang0 isn't
>>336815620
Sheik, since Falcon is just a worse Sheik
>>336815742
when do you guys want to start /v/eekend today?
>>336815501
>it was a fluke
yea no one believes that anymore if you keep saying after every loss he has
>>336815742
>armada being better than hbox
get outta here ya goof. real fight fans only
>>336815895
Not a Smash 4 thread. and dont bring /v/eekend garbage into here holy shit those threads are nearing /ssbg/ levels of cancer
>>336815986
Even Armada and Hbox agreed whoever wins Summit 2 is the best player.
>>336815895
I'll play a few matches until Bracket starts friend :)
I bet you thought i'd be triggered, but I actuallylike both games
>>336814378
>NOT EVEN TOP FIVE
When's quarters?
>>336816832
winner's quarters won't be til like 9pm. going right up until top 8 tonight.
i wanna see if m2k is projected to play any ICs, he might just be fucked if he does.
>>336815546
I'll give you m2k, but plup hasn't had any wins against hbox or armada at a national, where mang0 has (recently even)
>>336801580
>crimson blur
dropped
>>336816958
Alright thanks
Still gonna watch everything since Melee is GOAT
>>336817037
>hating Blur
he's a fucking saint
>>336817037
the fuck is wrong with you? did you get JV5'd by prime blur in a tourney or somethin?
>>336817134
he fucking forced his way into the scene and is now a huge asshole with a massive bloated ego
>>336817271
>forced his way
he knows a fuckton about the game and it shows in his commentary, fuck you.
and don't get how he's asshole or has a huge ego
>>336817271
no that's Scar
wizzy making top 6 i'm calling it
we all know he's the best falcon, he just needs one good major performance to cement it.
>>336817556
>spent the last 3 months playing ssb64
kek
>>336817556
this nigga got a scouter wtf
>SunflowerGirls
>fat guy
Fuck you for getting me excited
>>336817556
>any falcon being better than s2j
good joke
What is the current melee meta btw?
>>336818142
>didn't take a single game of Plup in the last 4 sets
still laughing
Where the FUCK is the best commentator in Melee?
>>336818223
fox still god
puff is making more people play more fox
no one is good with falco anymore
marth's are busters
sheik's are amazing
>>336818223
jiggs wins vs everyone on enough of the legal stages that shes pretty much unbeatable
fox loses to marth, peach, jiggs, samus and sometimes falco
>>336818223
Press buttons
fast
>>336818223
you mean like a tier list
SS Fox
A Puff, Marth, Falco, Sheik
B Peach
C Falcon, Ice Climbers, Samus
rest irrelevant
>>336818340
>he likes Scarjw
back to tumblr
The meta en melee tend to change that much or is becoming stagnant?
>>336818954
Not sure exactly what you're asking but Puff has risen a lot in the tier list. Armada says she's anywhere from 2-4 these days and has the most potential to improve.
Sheik is getting worse. Marth can go either way.
Falco is hugely crippled by not having great representation now that PP is dead.
>>336817496
If you think Scar forced his way into the scene when he CONSTRUCTED the scene then you're a fucking newgen
>>336819348
if you don't think the Phil and HMW were the ones that kept the scene alive you're the newgen here
>>336819446
They didn't keep the scene alive, they just started the whole commentary gig.
Not demeaning them and saying that they're unimportant, i think they are crucial to melee
>>336819348
>If you think Scar forced his way into the scene when he CONSTRUCTED the scene
>literally started playing in 2009
(You)
>>336819137
if m2k's recent marth play is anything to go by, marth is on the come up in a big way
sheik is stagnant. theres a few really competant sheik mains around, but even shroomed has no chance of winning anything important. shes about as important in the meta as falcon right now, but not anywhere near as entertaining.
falco i think has potential i think, but there'd need t be another 3 players with westballz talent and some measure of consistency in the scene to know for sure
>>336819743
Wrong, that's Toph
>>336819880
>shes about as important in the meta as falcon right now
Plup alone carries her harder than all the Falcons combined
>>336820192
yeah and i can see plup taking a major within the next 2 years.
can't see falcon ever winning one desu, even if this game lasts a dozen more years
I love Chillin. Such a bro.
>>336820373
Does anyone else think that falcon might lose his place in the top 8?
Even Pikachu and Samus seem to be more viable than him at this point honestly.
>>336820373
I think Wizzy has the potential to win a major
>>336820867
once hbox is gone maybe
>>336820636
Its because every fucking Falcon plays him as a yolo ebin hype character, but there are only a few good yolo Falcons
If people played him optimally, then there would be more good Falcons
>>336821103
Cringebox will probably still be playing this game in his 70s
Why do you guys have threads for your shitty fighting game tournaments, but whenever there are multi-million dollar Counter Strike, Dota or League tournaments I never see one thread about them?
>>336821558
people dont make them
>>336821558
because fighting games are actually good
>>336821558
I actually dont know
tournament threads are hype
>>336821606
did chillindude changed his name tag to chillin?
>>336821558
because thats for normies? lol
>>336821558
because there is some reasonable semblance of actual legitimacy and skill with "shitty fighting game tournaments"
>>336821558
they have their own generals with no crossover
fighting games/smash games have enormous appeal to people that don't play the games. for example ill watch pokken, marvel, and SFV at EVO this year for sure even tho i don't play them.
>>336821558
dota and league are in vg and sometimes even have stickies there
D1 is actually a decent commentator, but its become a meme to hat on him. Husband and Wife are shit tho.
>>336821558
>you guys
melee is nothing like those games though why would we post about them
>>336821818
smash is in /vg/ too.
Maybe u fags should go there.
>>336821989
that's smash4
different game different community
>>336821989
maybe if it wasn't total cancer there
>>336821989
the weird thing is 90% of them give no shits about the competitive community.
you can be on /ssbg/ during a sm4sh major and still most of the posts are just namefags calling other namefags out.
Fuck husband but i'm p-happy D1 has returned from Kuwait
>>336822286
/ssbg/ is literally the /soc/ of video game boards
name fags attention whoring and talking about themselves and each other instead of the topic.
the random smash threads and tourney threads(not veekend, thats the same shit as /ssbg/ with different names) on /v/ are way better
>>336821558
Because even dota and csGO's shitty generals will talk about their big tournaments. /ssbg/ is still all about sm4sh.
Rush is a low tier prog rock band
>>336823114
>>336823201
Damn everytime i hear about how a general being shitty i'm surprised but somehow not surprised, /vg/ is truly terrible
>tfw m2k lost to DizzKidBoogie last night at a Texas local
>literally can't even beat the 5th best ICs
fuck man the end is near
>D1
>>336823495
In the early days you could get some melee or even PM discussion/netplay in. Eventually smash 4 just took over.
>>336817271
his huge bloated ego is the best part about him
he is the Crimson buster, the butt of every joke, how much more comeuppance do you need than that
and he is one of the best grassroots TO of all time, he made koc and sss, which you'd respect the importance of if you weren't an ignorant edgy faggot
>>336823974
i'm guessing late 2014/early 2015 was the worst.
maybe it will recover in a little while when sm4sh dies?
>>336823974
to be fair, there was an attempt to make another general for melee/PM but it never really took off
it didnt help that the namefaggots and shitposters from the original /ssbg/ actively tried to fuck it up
watching this luigi makes you really respect how fucking amazing Abate is to make the character look (slightly) viable. you really have to gimmick the neutral hardcore.
>>336824086
Sm4sh won't die until a new smash game is avaible. And then the new game will dominate.
>>336812448
ness is honest
in that half of his hitboxes are located literally inside of his model
>>336824191
Good. Fuck the frauds who "main" PM.
>>336824319
dude at least melee is popular on /v/. PM fans had their game killed and neither melee or sm4sh communities really accept them anymore. they're off to the side in their own camp.
>>336811202
captain faceroll
>>336824540
Good, they deserved it. Not even smash 4 faggots were as entitled as them.
>all these people on /v/ and in twitch chat who hate husband and/or D1
I don't really get it, unless they're especially good like Wobbles, or spouting cringeworthy memes like Sky Williams, I tend not to really care about the commentators. These guys aren't that bad.
>>336824191
I made that but the big reason it failed is because not many people new about it, plus I don't think a reoccurring general is best for us anyways. We'd probably degrade into namefaggot as well given that the community on /v/ isn't huge and that there are lapses in content at times. Pretty sure even /ssbg/ is struggling to stay off page 10.
>>336824540
>don't want to learn or embrace a new game
>don't want to stick with melee like everyone else
Well then they're where they deserve to be
>>336824819
yeah a few /ssbg/ threads have actually died recently.
like seriously, that should never ever happen. smash is one of the most popular video games series in the world.
Husband's commentary is legitimately terrible
>>336824749
It's just stream monsters mad at husband for thinking he was being biased at pound. If you want to see some blatant bias watch any set commentated by hbox.
>>336824749
Husband and Wife have terrible commentary for modern Melee. They don't know the game as well as they think they do, and it shows. Their commentary during the Pound 2016 Top 8 was terrible.
D1 is actually good and knows the game. He is really good at commentating, but he's become too esports and safe I guess. Its kind of become a meme to hate him, but he's definitely underrated as a commentator.
>>336824749
D1 is the biggest shill on the planet.
#OneUnit.
So is it only pools today or will it go into top 32/16?
>>336824749

Jesus christ Husband is such a faggot
>>336817496
Newfag detected
He literally brought melee from the brink of death to being at Evo. He has done more for the community at large than he gets credit for
>>336812308
mango was never the fucking greatest, where the fuck did this meme start
he has never had an streak of dominance. never. he has never strung 2 wins together.
>>336826637
(You)
>>336826637
This guy is right
Armada has always been better than Mango
Armada literally stopped playing the game back in the days, came back and that's why he lost evo 2013 and if he had not faced hbox at evo 2014, I am convinced he would have won that one.
incoming heartbreak
>>336826316
thats actually a pretty mean thing to say about someone
Oh my fucking god he's such an autist
m2k is the only player in pools thats fun to watch
>>336826316
i hope this is a joke about him and Wife teaming in doubles, if not you have shit taste in commentary
I Hope his pichu gets fucking bodied
Fuck this disrepectful faggot
>>336827905
westballz does the same shit with donkey kong but I don't see you fags getting mad at him
lol m2k
>>336827291
t. documentary babby
>>336828035
How does any of this relate to the documentary that....basically didn't feature Armada?
>>336827905
How is this disrespectful at all
>>336827905
playing m2k's pichu is much better than getting 4 stocked form his shiek.
>>336827967
>tfw got 2 stocked by west's DK
end my life senpai
>>336827967

because dk isnt a joke character and has more than one good move
also west goes full combo and doesnt ledgeguard
>>336828307
is he here?
>>336828081
True, documentary babbies have been vested in Melee longer than Armadafags
>>336828395
Alright mate whatever makes you sleep tight
>>336828373
yep, westballz actually didn't come because he was scared of the runback.
said that was 'the best falco [he] ever played'
oh im friends with ico on steam
hes a trumpfagi body him with my falco
>>336828801
>he's a trumpfag
OUR BOY
dat stashe
You can tell they're in Auston when people with mustaches like that show up
our guy showing up!
>>336824540
I'm surprised PM payers organized a tournament circuit before melee or sm4sh players did. I think even the 64 community is even trying to do something like this. The lack of adversity has made the big communities too decadent.
>>336829885
MLG 2014 was a Melee tournament circuit
BeeKeeper Chill
is plup at this tournament?
>>336830945
nah he's taking a little break from melee.
smash 4 is trash bore so defensive and gay lol
is it me or does husband just spout every single melee cliche imaginable?
>>336832153
well he is a shit commentator so yeah
surprised Javi isn't here, Texas is basically his backyard.
Just tuned in. Anything notable happen yet?
>>336832727
no top 64 doesn't start for a while
>>336832727

nah bracket ain't for a couple hours
but you just arrived for some Wobbles commentary
>>336833076
why do anime sluts like toast with jam so much?
Also, Wobbles is great on commentary.
Any of you guys have local friends who went to this tourney?
How are they doing?
>>336833863
I don't know but it never stops being cute.
>>336834447
i think someone from /v/ said they were going. he was a luigi main tho so he probably got rocked.
i'm from jersey tho, and apex will be my first tourney.
our boy wobbles is on commentary
Finally some good commentators
Wobbles and D1 should be a good duo
Anyone who plays Daisy deserves to get rocked
>lost to dizzkidboogie
When's m2k going to give up on his peach?

>Wobbles over explains everything and punches holes in the wall while D1 spouts memes and confusedly asks himself 'whens Sm4sh?'
>>336835540
When he learns the fucking matchup with Marth.
unfortunately most top ICs are godlike in that matchup.
>>336835663
whats wrong with his fox? he took a game off hbox with it last week, surely he can take out ICs with it.
>>336836030
It's not particularly fast so someone like Wobbles could probably get grabs on him with relative ease.
I think Marth would be fine, he still has a winning matchup against ICs.
