[@jessedudezx]

One of the greatest slow sets in the history of melee?

[@strawhats100]

Right up there with Genesis 1 GFs

[@georgerosebush9754]

Felt like 10 minutes.

[@jacobbonetti6335]

one of the greatest tournaments in the game's history. i have never seen so many hype matchups

[@alabdark]

So happy for Hugo at the end though amsa is my master

[@Lakanus]

That last Game will forever make me clench. I'll never forget watching it live.

[@el_principe3611]

I mean...is it usually open? o_O bruh...

[@yamiryuu]

Nice

[@pencilkid1123]

My butt cheeks were full clench watching this

[@matthewcuriel991]

Lakanus my butt cheeks after game 5 tho. SO tight

[@metaljacket8128]

Lakanus Ikr?! It was friggin' *AMAZING!!*

[@breadtk]

Ngl i got a little emotional during that hugs popoff

[@Peanutz996]

Braysayer hugging it out with his brother like that. Damn. What a moment.

[@weaselsdawg]

Braysayer for real, i love amsa but im so glad hugs won. He earned this and seeing him succeed cant help but make me happy

[@GreenOddish]

Actually Nice Shot Hugo.

[@thipeeshanbalakrishnan6638]

First of all shoutouts to VGBC for uploading so quickly! One thing though: you gotta add the hug and the happy birthday in there, those were really great moments.

[@dhalsam]

Thipeeshan Balakrishnan wholesome

[@nathangriffith8352]

Already the most hype set of 2018

[@raiderify]

Nathan Griffith What about AmSa VS Wizzrobe?

[@ProfCube]

Nathan Griffith wizzy vs zain

[@joshualara8204]

Nathan Griffith mango vs axe or leffen vs axe

[@SchmitzCinemaStudies]

Shame aMSa's run had to end here but he played amazing all day and showed just how strong his mental game is.

[@alexaristud6340]

TheWWIFlyingAce bro amsa was smiling all the way to the end, I've got mad respect for him

[@SchmitzCinemaStudies]

For sure.

[@strawhats100]

He is a freaking legend.

[@iMacxXuserXx485]

Absolutely, his neutral against Samus is so interesting since we never see the match-up.

[@twig7219]

Hey y'know amsa's had his moments since then.

[@CaptainFalchion]

HUGS! I love both of these guys, sad that Amsa had to lose but good shit to Hugo its amazing to see him make Top 8 at G5. on his birthday too! What a legend and legendary popoff. What a set

[@fishfillet5555]

Legendary set

[@AlexRoseGames]

This was the hypest set all tournament. I love when a set is so close to the timer you don't know whether it'll end or time out. I was losing it just watching it, can't imagine what it was like for the players. Hugo actually won it by not missing his shot. THAT SHOT GOTTA HIT, BRO. He deserved to win though, he played better overall, but I would've loved to see a top 8 amsa. Might have even been able to take a set from Lucky.

[@azhaelcamarillo44]

Meh, better has several connotations. aMSa shown way more tech than Hugs, I find him the average Samus, you couldn't expect less from this matchup.

[@hiimabigfatmeanie9646]

Azhael Camarillo average with the amazing positioning and execution L0L Faster ≠ better, my guy

[@matthewcuriel991]

Rapping Lonsdaleite AMSA played better overall ... you guys have to understand only reason he lost is cuz he managed to basically sd last stock in 2 games this set. HUGO did play amazing not taking that from him but it's one thing to win and another thing to be the one who proved to be more dominant throughout the set. At times it was back and forth but amsa showed grit considering hugo spent the match doing retreating attack moves. Game 1 hugs for sure (I was impressed) Game 2 amsa (although he fast fell past ledge to lose instead of keeping composed and making it back) Game 3 to 5 was also amsa (but amsa sdd last stock game 5) Over all amsa 2 matches he dominantly won in games 3 and 4 while hugs only dominated 1st game and ran away with 2 questionable wins. SO hard to say amsa got out played but it was a tight set there's no doubt about that.

[@chaotictoast8199]

Matthew Curiel all matches were super close. Even the ones Amsa won looked like Hugs couldve took it making this such a great set. Game 5 couldve been Amsa but its not just the sd that killed him. The timer was forcing him to rush in and Hugs just took control once he knew that. Amsa played great and i wouldve loved to see top 8 yoshi but there was no denying Hugs had control this set

[@matthewcuriel991]

ChaoticToast 420 I feel that ... AMSA played very off at the end so deserved debatably

[@PlutoThe1st]

Legendary pop-off

[@dahuterschuter]

aMSa is too pure for this world, he's like the anime protagonist who loses but had fun anyway for the spirit of competition, love of the game, and drive to improve for next time.

[@TheSunshineGroup]

aMSa sets are /almost/ always the most hype of sets

[@Corninthesky]

The Sunshine Group imo Wizzy vs Zain was much better

[@Corninthesky]

My Name Chef they seem to be reuploading all the sets on meleeeveryday ‘s KZbin channel. Check in a couple of hours I guess.

[@_Kiwami_]

タイムアップ戦になるのかと思ったけれども、ラストでまさかのSD。逆転3オールでトップ8入りがかかってただけにこれはキツい。しかしながらとてもいい試合だった。

[@J25code2]

Agree

[@user-tt9cv7wt6t]

sooooo close game!! hugs is very smart player i think nice game!

[@PersonaXlll]

まつおかす いいね。あまさ上手ですね！

[@user-tt9cv7wt6t]

XrossFixtion とても上手です！😆

[@harrydoxisthechubaca]

Big Brain Hugs

[@GAMEXdoker]

I love how aMSa always smile while playing. it really make me happy to see him having fun while all the others players seem so serious :)

[@sizzle9000]

Best set of 2018 ALREADY. Long live Melee!

[@nahor88]

Even if Nintendo turned out the lights on PM, I'm glad to see Melee live on. In Melee you can have fast sets and slow sets, and they're both entertaining. Can't say the same about Smash 4. Compare Amsa's tech with Yoshi to uptilting over and over again in Sm4sh.

[@nahor88]

Do you seriously think I'm just referring to Yoshi? The lack of combo options for most of the cast are what make Sm4sh less fun than Melee or PM. There simply aren't enough available advanced techs or hitstun to pull off neck breaking combos like you can in Melee, to the point where the characters that can pull off true combos are higher on the tier list.

[@nahor88]

No, people like you who don't understand WHY we dislike Sm4sh are what's wrong with the community. PM has "different mechanics" than Melee. Brawl and Sm4sh took Melee and dumbed it down, instead of just building upon it. If Brawl ended up like PM no one in the world would have complained. Melee still sold very well and pleased both the casual and competitive players. I've played PM with both my competitive and casual friends, whereas I can only play Brawl or Sm4sh with casuals. The only reason Sm4sh is succeeding now as a competitive game is because its newer and more widely available. It won't survive the way Melee has for over 15 years. And the Melee/PM and Sm4sh communities tend not to mix anyways. My local PM community is thriving; we don't subject ourselves to the trash Sakurai has passed as Smash Bros. since 2008.

[@scouthatesrainbows]

How could you cut out amsa and hugs hugging it out and the crowd singing Hugo a happy birthday?

[@Samplaylist1]

s/o to aMSa for smiling every time he gets hit that is someone who truly loves playing

[@brafy2981]

19:59 this is the commentary I came for.

[@jaywing5k]

By far the most hype set at G5 so far! Sad that Amsa got eliminated but good shit to Hugo man. Also Happy Birthday to him too!

[@Cosdamotto]

Thanks for uploading this so quickly. It was 3am here in New York while they were playing this set and I fell asleep missing most of it

[@Bleeper852]

aMSa is my favorite player so I'm disappointed he didn't advance. But Hugo's popoff was well deserved. Hope to see both players compete again in a future tourney. The Yosh is strong!!

[@FIRO347]

Yeah, Amsa is an amazing player and person. He's always having fun no matter if he wins or loses. He's one of my top favorite players. The best Yoshi player in the world by far!

[@jsxxxchewie]

Congrats to Hugo, he's needed to place well in a tournament and it's satisfying to see him do it in 2018. Such a hype set. Everyone would love to see Amsa win that though.

[@ratatata9450]

Such an amazing set, shout-outs to these 2 great players. Really emotional pop off from HugS. Was such a great time watching it live :) Much love to melee community.

[@bobthornton9730]

I was honestly so happy for hugs. Let's be real tho....we should expect these guys to have some great performances in the future, too.

[@TheManOfBlues]

Watching Hugs' facecam is almost as fun as watching the match XD

[@cstarcrusher]

what a dope fucking matchup. mad respect to hugo and amsa, two innovators.

[@Tselel]

I legit didn't know who to root for this set. Of course everyone loves Amsa, but Hugs has been pushing for this for so, so long. Man. Props to both of them.

[@reeseepieces]

WIZZY OUT BibleThump 🔫 AMSA OUT BibleThump 🔫 I'M OUT BibleThump 🔫

[@MrHebee1]

I'm so glad Wizzy lost. He deserves to lose with that stalling bullshit.

[@anonanon521]

"What comes up must go down." Home Made Waffles 2018

[@jamiecal11]

The sheer emotion of the last game was incredible, genuinely incredible. The 8 minutes of play wasn't long enough.

[@MrJholshouser41]

He let up the gas after his 1st two stocks game 5. He didn't hit Hugo for over a min. I think that was what really crushed his comeback.

[@LogisticSleet8]

i love how HugS twitches and jitters around when he plays. it's fun to watch

[@nathangriffith8352]

Best pop off of all time

[@ps0w]

Damn this set would've been heartbreaking no matter the outcome. Such good guys who both deserved top 8! Congrats to Hugo!

[@J25code2]

Crazy set man. One if the best of the year so far. very intense

[@lucasmccormick9447]

Look its 2 dinosaurs going at it

[@ClintonChelak]

aMSa never fails to make the game fun to watch.

[@FIRO347]

Yeah, that is true. Amsa is a player that is always fun to watch his matches.

[@allenthebboy4214]

Seeing amsa like that makes me very sad. But seeing Hugo do so well makes me so happy LOL. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL

[@MegaCokamo]

23:15 hugs face lol

[@harukikiki1541]

たかがゲーム。それでもこんだけ熱くなれるのってほんとにすごいよね。感動した。

[@BadOmen2]

Set of the tournament right here. Nice shot Hugo, finally ! LOL

[@NinjaPichu10]

Super cool to see Hugs, Amsa, and Axe all make it into top 8 here. Just cool to see them with their non-top tier characters place so high

[@NinjaPichu10]

Well, at least close to top 8 (Amsa)

[@Hope4NewDay1]

Damn. This was such a fun set to watch. Its long but there is so much action.

[@BlairPlaysGames]

Holy shit. Those charge shots... Nice fucking shots, Hugo.

[@sheridan5175]

Version 2? Are they playing PAL or ntsc 1.2?

[@larvitardratini5965]

I wanted aMSas run to continue!!!

[@CaptainKnee]

I was like counting every second and every percent and probabilities of the last minute lol. The result was unexpected haha! mangoPog

[@FirstLast-mn4re]

you hate to see it end like that man.

[@MegaCokamo]

Favorite melee players 1. Qerb 2. Amsa 3. Duck 4. West balls

[@matthewcuriel991]

Raabert Ellis weird list but I getchu ... wish Qerb made it out of pools tbh.

[@antimacula9049]

Plup's lightning kick was hype but holy shit this set..... The almost 0 to death at 18:26 . The last game. Hugo played really well the first 2 games as well.

[@larvitardratini5965]

aMSa!!!!!!!! NOOOO

[@vinheirasadrien1794]

It was an insane match, but this mistake was fatal for aMSa. It’s too bad because this match was for him. Anyway, GGs you two.

[@jazaniac]

nah, he was probably gonna lose anyway. Very little chance he was gonna make that much of a percent comeback with 25 seconds left vs samus.

[@Rhy2412TitanGamer]

This whole set had me on EDGE! Good shit to the players (aMSa made SSBM Yoshi legit and hugs is rising). The commentary was on point, too..

[@Uncle_Sunpuppy]

Top 20 sets all time

[@im_Spade_]

19:53 Waffles with the classic "and now..."

[@Valnoir_]

Good shit Hugs, although I'd have liked to see Amsa pull the win.

[@SeightJam]

Yo this is already set of the year!

[@ASN_JAY]

Love this set dude

[@andreasgustafsson5185]

2:02 when Hugs got a itchy neck

[@StigmaLotus]

No ICs in top 8. 2018 looking good so far...

[@TuckerLeRat]

Hugo becoming steph curry in game 5 is a legendary way to break a supermajor curse

[@supermichelangelo5763]

Hugo hitting charge shots? What a time to be alive.

[@Maze86753]

Holy shit that set was amazing all the way through

[@PerfectDarkly]

God, that shot went UNDER and PAST aMSa, and then he wavedashed backwards into it anyway. Rest in pieces. I was clenchin'.

[@skullkid1028]

As of now the best set of 2018

[@durrbill]

LETS FUCKING GO HUGO

[@Neru619]

Wow that's such a bad way to go down. Amsa u a beast tho.

[@23mrbee]

Both Hugs and Lucky made top 8. Team Dignitas gotta be proud.

[@larvitardratini5965]

Where is westballz?

[@brutalikyd]

This and Zain vs Wizzy were legendary.

[@austintannenbaum2717]

Hugs with the hugs.

[@georgerosebush9754]

What was Amsa going to do throwing eggs from ledge with that little time left and that much percent gap?

[@AresLathe]

props to the commentators here, ace job and hilarious

[@HotHotHeatFan4ever]

Hyped to watch the set, then i see that there are 8 ads in a 30 minute video. Whatever you're cookin up better be sick GimR.

[@TheSunshineGroup]

Yeah, I was iffy about that as well, but they're all 5-second ads that are over before you can think "aw man, wtf" Whatever man this sort of production deserves the annoyance. VGBC has come so far

[@HotHotHeatFan4ever]

Having watched the set now, absolutely worth it.

[@schneppke8929]

BibleThump

[@sydbrown310]

These two are so damn fun to watch. If only the rest of the melee cast was viable.. Or had players that could make them viable

[@Maxwell4455]

Hugo in top 8 chu nowhere close life is good

[@joseantoniomarronmartinez2981]

I like Chu

[@spyda1221]

The Worlds Champ.

[@kirjian]

What a set. WHAT A GAME

[@garyjohnson2621]

most hype match yet rip amsa tho

[@saltyluigi4011]

That's why I love Melee.

[@kifkif7117]

Good stuff Hugo, erasing those evo 2015 memories

[@210antonio7]

really good tournament

[@TheRealGuillote]

Great set! Lets to Hugo!

[@2saint]

best popoff of 2018

[@souldewt848]

Set of the year

[@AlexHall5678]

you didn't show the hug with amsa? That's the cherry on top c'mon

[@gamerstoasttoast568]

I actually wanted Hugs to win, he hasn't been in the spotlight recently and he somehow felt like the underdog.

[@matthewcuriel991]

Gamers Toast Toast he was underdog tbh ... came out with kinda a luck win since AMSA sdd 2 stocks away, but a wins a win in competitive play. I'm proud of HUGO tho he's lit and my favorite streamer 😎

[@gamerstoasttoast568]

Part of being a pro involves not sd-ing, but I agree that it doesn't reflect a players skill that much. But yeah Hugo is 🔥lit🔥 and I hope he continues to improve.

[@malcolmpurple3686]

Excuse me, Version 2 of Melee? What are these versions? And why are they not playing vanilla Melee?

[@sarahIcommented]

NTSC 1.2 is the final version of Melee to be released in NA and Asia, and the most widely available(the others went out of print ages ago). PAL is the Europe equivalent. These are some of the changes, but not all(for example, in version 1.0 Zelda's F-Smash and Up-Smash can't be Smash DIed, Samus's dash attack had some invincibility frames on startup, etc.): www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_regional_version_differences_(SSBM)#General

[@malcolmpurple3686]

sarahIcommented wow i didnt even know that was a thing. Thats really interesting thanks.

[@jonathancondor1025]

Video ended too soon. Didn't show aMSa and HugS hugging.

[@taylenday]

Hugs' actual body in the top left corner moves more than Samus does lmao

[@Forbidden_0ne]

Way to Go Hugo!

[@NesuProps]

Id have loved aMSa to win, thus he'd have made enough to face Mango in a possible top 5 since APEX 2015. Props to HugS, lets hope he can made to top 5 or reach a higher placing. Otherwise, lets hope Axe would defeat Mango.

[@uberpansy77]

Amsa with the 5 second ostrich legs

[@klye4125]

Beautiful

[@TehWhiteTiger]

Respect to hugs but I soo wanted Amsa in top 8. I can't see hugs getting past 8th, Amsa may have made some upsets.

[@0CAUTION0]

This freaking game man.

[@asumski1773]

beautiful
