Top 10 Greatest EVO Melee Moments - Super Smash Bros

It was recently announced that Melee would NOT be at EVO 2019, so in remembrance of Melee at EVO, I've decided to compile the 10 greatest Melee moments at EVO!
While Melee at EVO has had some controversial moments, it still has a fantastic history at EVO, and I really hope it returns someday.
Thanks for watching!
If you're interested in the backstory of some of these clips, here is a description/explanation of every clip (Spoilers!):
10: Plup makes a massive upset on Leffen with Samus at EVO 2015
9: S2J goes for the suicide stomp on Westballz at EVO 2016, and then later beats him 2-0 with a double knee read, making S2J the highest placing Falcon in EVO's history (5th)
8: ChuDat makes a 2-stock sopo comeback on HugS on his last stock of the last game to secure his place in top 8 at EVO 2015
7: Swedish Delight makes a legendary upset on Armada at EVO 2018, becoming the first player since Silentspectre in 2010 outside of the top 6 to beat Armada in a set
6: Armada takes the set 3-2 over Hungrybox to secure his first ever EVO win at EVO 2015
5: Leffen makes an incredibly dominant run at EVO 2018, beating Hungrybox 2-1, and then beating Plup and Armada without dropping a game to win his first EVO in spectacular fashion
4: In one of the most legendary moments in Melee history, Axe 4-stocks Silent Wolf with Pikachu in their final game at EVO 2014, taking all of his stocks in less than a minute
3: Wobbles makes the greatest dark horse run in Melee's history at EVO 2013, beating Mango, PPMD, and Hungrybox until finally falling to Mango in grand finals to get 2nd place
2: Hungrybox makes the clutchest losers run of all time at EVO 2016, clutching out game after game, taking out Mango, Plup, and finally Armada in a grueling 10-game set to win his first EVO
1: Mango makes one of the most legendary losers runs of all time at EVO 2013, after losing early to Wobbles, he tears through the losers bracket, taking out PPMD, Armada, and Hungrybox all without losing a single game, until finally beating Wobbles in Grand Finals 6-1 to win the first EVO Melee event since 2007

[@guitarsmasher13]

@@garciafever i think it's a simple choice to believe in yourself and become that good, regardless of your natural talent. You just have to make sacrifices elsewhere in life. I think that's why hbox or other players are so emotional when they win a big tournament because those sacrifices can be really painful or exhausting until one epic moment when it FINALLY becomes worth it and they've achieved their goal. Especially someone like hbox who's struggled with choosing melee over a stable and socially acceptable engineering career and endured so much hate from the community. For some people it's better to just dream about being great and play for the love of the game but if you know you wanna be the best, and you choose to make the sacrifices that come with it, nothing can stop you. Only a handful of people will be decisive and choose that path but everybody can do it.

[@PuppetMasterIX]

I'm not sad that Melee was cut; if anything I'm glad it stayed for as long as it did. Melee stuck around for more consecutive years than a lot of other different EVO mainstays, so it had to be omitted at some point (and its rules were a bit incongruent with Melee's typical competitive rules anyway). At the very least, Smash still has representation with Ultimate, which has had a really solid competitive start so far. Side note: Shoutouts to UNIST. I haven't played it myself but it looks rad from what I've seen, and its grassroots history is heavily reminiscent of Melee's scene in the early 2010's. Melee got a huge signal boost from EVO 2013 onward; hopefully UNIST gets similar exposure as this EVO's dark horse.

[@reeses7839]

Ayyy glad to see a Melee bro givin' some love to UNIST :D I agree, Melee stayed for a really long time, and it was only inevitable. Thankfully, the game will live on in other things. It doesn't need EVO anymore, which means it's a good time to finally let it go out and be its own entity. Here's to the game's prosperity for years to come! And as a side note, I'm really excited for UNIST. Hopefully the game gets the exposure it's deserved for a long time, high praise goes out to the people participating in the tournament, and the community as a whole.

[@reeses7839]

@Base Bass Forte I'd hope he would. The communities should be more accepting of each other, the old and the new under the Smash banner. Salem stirred a pot that he shouldn't have. Unless you were talking about the UNIST comments, in which case it's a good sport to respect the new title that deserves the love.

[@Chausies7]

Just to give you guys some context for hbox 2016: Hbox was known as the king of Second Place at Evo for the longest time. He had the biggest block ever getting past second place at Evo. Then, he was going against Armada, who looked like an impassable wall. For each set, Armada was up 2 games, and could've bopped him at any moment. And still, against all odds, he showed why he's called Clutchbox and somehow won it and sealed his first 1st place win at Evo. Dude earned that popoff, 100%

[@dorohime7001]

There's nothing more beautiful than seeing a player defy fate. That's what it always felt like whenever a player took their first Evo. It felt like they buckled down, and just outplayed what destiny had set before them. And that's just fucking amazing to watch. I love this game.

[@TheTintedHalo]

I remember the day in high school when I came across the Axe v. Silentwolf video on Facebook of all places. I had never really cared about smash competitively, and I think Smash 4 had just come out on 3ds and my group of friends would all play it together at lunch. I started to show everyone I knew that video, and from then on I was hooked. Melee became more than just a game, it became a part of my life as I became a part of the community and attempted to be just as good as the clips I was watching. Even though I never got to be all too great, Melee is an important part of who I am. It's a real shame to see it not at Evo, but I know it will grow even stronger through the rest of the yearly tournaments. I remember popping off harder than ever when Hbox took that Evo, and all of the other hype moments each year. Melee isn't going anywhere.

[@dorohime7001]

A reason that 4-stock that axe did against Silent Wolf was so amazing, is bcus he did it to a player of his level, on one of the biggest stages ever, LIGHTNING FAST. Silent Wolf had just proven he could stand against Axe by taking a game on Battlefield. But then just a couple good reads, good reactions, and Axe ended the last game in under a minute. Easily one of the craziest Evo moments. I was floored when I first saw that.

Wobbles' run at evo 2013 usually goes overshadowed by Mango's but was still crazy how he beat 3 gods in a row even if it was bo3

[@pasdetemps6971]

11:41 best moment.

epic and funny joke

[@perryb.2732]

@@JohnnyThe4th I hear that a lot, what sets the game apart from things like BlazBlue? I'm ignorant as far as UNIST goes

[@davidnathanwong6261]

When you realize that this video is better than the EVO sendoff video

[@StanleySophana]

Hopes for Melee will be at next years EVO

[@g3nj1]

I know they say the melee crowd is toxic, but they seem better than the ultimate guys and girls, to be honest.

[@LOLDSFAN]

FD was probably banned to avoid the chain grab and I kind of like the FOD counterpick from Axe because with a player as technical as Silentwolf the changing heights of the platforms can really do a lot at messing him up.

[@chrisrose4703]

when i watch the clip of hbox finally winning i tear up a bit

[@weirdboo]

Wobbles at 2:39 just can’t even believe what he saw

[@Pan_Z]

2nd most viewed game of EVO 2018. Most viewed of 2016. Home to some of Melee's best moments. EVO and Melee had a pretty good run.

[@kr1spness]

9:10 HBox should realize how he makes everyone feel when he pops off. Look at his face lol

[@saltyluigi4011]

So Melee was at EVO since 2007... 12 years. Do you understand how much this is? We should be proud tbh Edit: Actually, Melee was at EVO 2007 but then only came back at EVO 2013 so it's actually 6-7 years instead of 12.

[@Rael0505]

SaltyLuigi yes!

[@FlamingZelda3]

makes dropping it not seem so bad...

[@Mage_Nichlas_]

They did Melee wrong not including them. You can't tell me Hbox vs. Armada in finals with back and forth games wasn't the hypest set you've ever seen.

[@p1gmastar101]

A set with Hbox being hype? Yeah I dont remember that. Stick to your glitchy mess of a game while I play the big boy games. Nothing personnel kiddo

Haha Johnny is such a boss. His casual reaction after hitting that suicidal stomp at 1:29

[@20nickookcin]

Mango without a beard looks weeeeeeird

[@reeses7839]

All of my love and respect goes out to the Melee community. Here's for more years to come of other nationals and tournaments from a long-running title of legendary status. Mad love also goes out to those of you watching UNIST. Highly recommend tuning it once or twice during Top 8 if you can to show some love for the game. They deserve it, much like Melee deserved their attention. Show your support for a similar community under similar circumstances. We don't have to hate every other fighting game.

[@onlyashadow1121]

unironically including iceclimbers in top10 moments

[@blakeswanson1322]

Hey that ice on shield in wobble was sick

[@justindubeau334]

Honestly an Ice Climbers main upsetting THREE of the five gods (one of whom was able to beat hax while taking only 26% damage) is pretty worthy of the top ten list

[@samg131]

Wobbles run was fucking insane

[@gave2haze]

My favourite is when mang0 threw his jersey into the crown in losers against PP, and played the rest of the tournament in his undershirt and won lmao

[@pedroantoniofreirealbuquer1939]

Dude, this stock from Plup against Leffen is so sick, is moments like these that make me enjoy FOR REAL SSBM and being a e-sports fan

[@sebasito2039]

MELEE IS ALIVE we need a homemade major on EVO weekends

[@23TheOneAndOnly23]

That would be tacky. It would do more to hurt Melee at EVO than help it. Also it could hurt Ultimate’s chance.

[@Marcusjnmc]

just keep sandwiching EVO weekends with 2 huge majors that get more entrants than most of the games at EVO, best way to show it up, attend those majors

[@Jack-sh6xr]

Look at plup then compared to now, I feel like he just doesn’t enjoy it anymore

[@Rael0505]

Jack fighting jigglypuff will suck the life out of ya

[@Jack-sh6xr]

Rael0505 yea maybe. But like even friendlies he shows no enjoyment. Ever since that one time he was playing colbol in fox dittos and he was cursing out the crowd and giving them the finger I noticed him being different and it’s gotten worse ever since

[@Rael0505]

Jack Plup is awesome, his Fox is so sick. I imagine he might put a lot of pressure on himself to win. He probably feels so tantalizingly close to being the best.

[@Jack-sh6xr]

Rael0505 it’s crazy how good his fox is. From the moment he pulled it out in the first tournament it was already mastered

[@Bludgeoned2DEATH2]

I was watching live when ChuDat beat hugs with Sopo down 2 stocks to 1 and it was hilarious lol. Poor hugs but seeing Wobbles and his protege Admiral behind him was the cherry on top.

[@boryontotheleader2328]

Thanks for the memories
