GOML X TOP 8 - Mango (Fox) Vs. Hungrybox (Jigglypuff) Smash Melee - SSBM

[@BrockBreedingintheHoennRegion]

It's cool to see Mango and Hbox playing Melee for this long.

[@awogbob]

For 19 minutes?

[@b2dub3]

Did you watch genesis

[@kupodrinksmilk]

The next time they play, it will be their 100th set ever. I really hope it ends up being a 10-game grands.

[@MrSlowpez10]

​@@kupodrinksmilkare they at 99 now? If their next set is 100, then a 10 game grands would make it 101

[@CreamyPesto505]

It's great because historically, so few of them are tight. Usually, whoever wins does it convincingly.

[@Sharpedo43]

The surviving gods in 2024. You love to see it. 🙏 Regardless of the outcome, both of these guys are actual Melee legends. And in my eyes, they definitely transcend the GOAT status with their longevity in the scene alone. 👍

I love watching the tactics of the match. Everything has been thought of by both players, they know how each other play. Such a great match!

[@smores56]

Hbox also SD'ed from air dodging off the right side of the stage in his prior match with S2J, would suck if his controller led to this loss. No one likes SD's

[@Mustang_Click]

Was watching Plup's stream watching this set and he wasn't convinced it was the controller, just Hbox making a few flubs.

[@mlalbaitero]

He just messed up Waveland doubt it's the controller

[@Hawke90]

Johnny so good he can almost clutch hbox without being at the tourney 👊

[@jacobcrofoot5518]

No Johns

[@DoomGal444]

These are not controller SDs just really awkward spots where either you miss waveland by 1% of the angle or accidentally airdodge because you didn't expect to be actionable midair, happens after stale hits and strange slideoffs

[@enickma910]

classic set, new mango

[@joshuapaul8580]

this shit STILL gets my heart pumping please please please hbox and mango don't ever quit

[@heartnet40]

This was on track to be a classic Mango/HBox set, the two were playing so well and almost better than at their prime. And then that last game happened lmao. Which, if I'm being totally honest, I'm actually really happy about. It was hilarious to watch these two almost morph into entirely different people after such hype games. Sucks to see so many mistakes in Top 8 from both players, but it definitely made the viewing experience much more entertaining lol

[@Parpeing]

Sloppy melee from legends has always been the best melee

[@wettuna1769]

Lmao I was just happy Mango won but it really do gotta be like one of the worst game 5s from such high level experienced players ever. Game 5 always gonna be sloppy and that's also the nature of yoshi's but ya that was something else they were in a who could throw harder competition until mango recomposed himself at the end.

[@andrewhighley1468]

[@tylerthepianoman4686]

Spoilers: - - - - - - - - Dang, I was hoping that these 2 would be 50/50 in their overall sets and then have a tie breaker on the 101st game. But GGs Mang0. It's great seeing these 2 perform at this level to this day

[@Barsee23]

from the commentary I heard while watching this, their score was 49:47 before this in mango’s favor, which means he would be 50:47 after this, if hungry box wins the next 3 then you would still be able to see what you’re talking about

[@tylerthepianoman4686]

@@Barsee23 Oh, I thought this was game 99 for some reason and that it was Mang0 with 50 going into it and Hbox with 48 going into it. I could be wrong though. I hope you're right, lol.

[@AL-lh2ht]

according to liquipedia the set count is 48 - 51 (mango favor). though this is without checking if any of the sets should not count (like a charity event) and there is not like some obscue sets not logged into liquipedia, which is likely.

[@tracystallworth1239]

Respect to Hgod for not laming mango out on the ledge

[@Morimoto94]

Fr! Hbox was actually scrapping

[@zogbogbean2464]

He couldn’t, mango was constantly pushing the issue. He’s always stated that he isn’t safe of the ledge vs mango

[@Parpeing]

​@@zogbogbean2464oh lets go thats what we like to hear

[@AL-lh2ht]

real talk mango apporched the ledge and actually threatened it. Puff is not actually free on ledge. Moky was on the opposite side of the stage doing nothing, not eve shooting lazers, yet Hbox gets blames when puff can not approached a run away fox. These commentators are biased to a noticeably degree.

Man both played dogwater at the end but i'm just glad that they're still here. Without them there's a certain spice missing y'know? After mang was bashed by Zain i knew that he'd take the entire thing again and just tuned out. It's to me as if the energy just fades out of the room when they're eliminated because they make me feel so vivid as a spectator. I hope that Zain, Cody, Jake and co. can really establish themselves as these big personalities in the future because i currently don't know where my motivation to keep watching is without these two bearded suprise bags.

[@Burubrikoos]

Would be nice if commentators at least attempted to be slightly unbiased

[@Radarssbm]

Honestly I think this is a very fair criticism and I was super aware of it while it was happening. For what it’s worth I actually have been cheering for Hbox a lot more lately (which you can see in the SDJ set) and I really value him as a competitor. It’s harder to balance the bias than people might think (especially when a lot of people want us to be talking about mango) but I’m working on it! Valid criticism!

[@Burubrikoos]

@@Radarssbm thanks for your response, lots of respect for you and the other commentators. It feels awesome to interact like this. Looking forward to the next big tourney!

[@NtropE]

@@Radarssbm I'm just a viewer, but if I may humbly suggest something: could you try commentating matchups from the floaties' point of view more often? I think this could lead to less bias in an organic way.

[@Buberino]

would have been so sad to see either lose because of all the SDing

[@crimsonmido2519]

Is it me or did mango play game 1 perfectly and then every game after that played completely aggro?

[@joshuapaul8580]

there was a LOT of adjustment on Hbox's end, you could see he was sucessfully stuffing the more tempered approaches from Mango. So mango ended up mixing in some more straightforward aggression to keep Hbox on the backfoot; the approaches with the falling upairs wouldn't have worked otherwise.

[@604Lance]

Hbox SD's "OH! Thats huge!" Mango SD's " Oh no..Oh no! thats bad.." Typical commentary bias

[@Parpeing]

OK relax, you know who you're rooting for you dont need the man on the screen to help you do it do you?

I just realized all the Foxaganda is crazy--Puff literally can't camp Fox. Fox has lasers so only he can camp Puff (Not saying either player was playing lame or camping, they weren't--just observing)

[@ABronyNamedBurnie]

I mean puff can absolutely ledge stall Fox. It's not great if at an even game state or if Fox has a lead, because of lasers. But Hbox is incredibly hard to approach at ledge and if you don't think that... I mean, go watch more sets.
