bro u need to look up how iq is rated and stop giving them whatever number u want

Hey HBox! Love the content but the cheesy clickbait mouth open thumbnail is really hard to even click on. I know you probably are trying to a younger audience but as 27 year old who loves the content, god damn those thumbnails are cheesy af! I know the clickbait shit will probably get you more views so just do you brother. Happy for you and your success!

[@alstoyle]

2:50 was 100% on purpose. Notice how he built backwards to make sure he got the spike. 1000000 I.Q.

[@rusty8311]

It could have just as likely been stalling and being patient to see his options based on the opponents movement off ledge. A lot of Steve players stall and space for openings when they otherwise could be pressured by the opponent. Regardless, it was a hype play either way

[@xLinne]

I was saying that out loud when hbox was question whether it was intentional lmao

[@Loci_AF]

5:52 I got baited so hard I became a fucking thumbnail. Worth it

[@iswiftyfox8997]

you got baited by someone who is a master at baiting meaning that you got masterbaited

[@IdkYoYo]

Oh the drum beat

[@BlackWat3rGTR]

The Steve Cart into building off stage with the DeDeDe bonk WAS on purpose because not only would he have made it back without building but he PULLED BACK to build in that specific place. Genius.

[@hylianpokemontrainer7621]

10:46 the fact that this side B wouldn't hit him is what makes the crouch good, because Falco wouldn't have passed through. The Snake would have had to either turn around for the up tilt or ftilt, so he simplified the kill with that. Insane

[@mixycat_yay]

The stage spike from the Steve at 3:15 was definitely intentional. Lmao. He built backwards, and he wouldn’t do that if he just wanted to recover, so yeah, that’s definitely 1,000 IQ. Never seen a minecart stage spike setup before. xD

[@rusty8311]

Honestly it could have just as likely been stalling and being patient to see his options based on the opponents movement off ledge. A lot of Steve players stall and space for openings when they otherwise could be pressured.

[@pikachude5490]

No I reckon it was intentional, the walk backwards to cover all angles is what convinced me

[@haxsvg9372]

@@rusty8311 why you copy pasta so much. 💀💀

[@GING173]

2:01 that was actually sick. I want to try that

[@extonjonas6820]

Definitely the bes tone for me, and I definitely think it was intentional

[@dimitrimoisiades7292]

6:00 I love this clip the most

[@kNightAkuma]

5:58 you could say it was a masterful bait.

[@Mene0]

Steve and Pacman always have big brain plays

[@MrSolomonGaming]

Pacmans are just in another universe mentally.

[@soundwaveravagesuperior]

Probably the reason there’s a lot Steve clips is because the more projectiles or objects a character can place ahead of time the more of a complex combo they can make. Knowing that if one thing goes wrong the set up is ruined but then seeing it all come together makes it look amazing. Purely melee characters with no projectiles can’t make such set ups and inherently will not be able to make these “1,000 IQ plays.” For example: The Steve clip where he placed tnt with a pressure plate and baited captain falcon into it was amazing because Steve had the ability to prepare ahead of time and he need that captain falcon to run into it to make it work. The clip would’ve been a lot less impressive if it was just a Shulk pressing down B. But what else is a Shulk going to do?

[@LoliPeeSlurper]

Yeah I agree, I've said that setup/trap characters are the most hype but ppl wouldn't agree and said rushdown characters are more hype

[@Kazaandu]

@hungrybox that Steve @3:15 built BACKWARDS. That shit was 100% intentional

[@INK-Yoshi-PL]

Thank you very much

[@anthonyc1075]

7:05 if the water didn't push him back he would've been wide open for a smash attack cause the opponent would've been behind him. I thought that was pretty smart baiting the ledge hop making the opponent think he had an easy smash attack.

[@Anonymys43]

That's what I'm saying, that hydrant was actually clutch

[@FrostDK98]

Steve truly is the big brain character of this game along with a select few others

[@colingznetworkplus4618]

Steve players are masterminds I swear to god

[@shotgunboiiplayz9547]

3:05 that was intentional, he built away from the stage to account for knockback

[@momojishu]

Pac Man hydrant is one of my least favorite things in this game, but it does allow for some really cool stuff. Won a match once against a camping Pac Man by noticing that he kept dropping hydrant middle stage and then running to ledge. Let the water push me into Pyra forward-smashing him.

[@RubyGrube]

Any Steve inspired clip is 0/1000 IQ. If the Steve is getting fucked up, at least 750/1000 IQ.

[@tenacity25]

Steve isn't the smartest character, he just has the most tools that can be used by smart people you really don't have to be smart to play steve though

[@MuDkipzCHancelLOr]

I don't enjoy watching Steve plays at all. He's just such a lame character. We lost waluigi for this.

[@nellismygirl]

“You really don’t have to be smart to play (X)” Applies for every single character in the Smash Series

[@jacksonbrickmedia939]

@FroggerMcSteinergold You don’t have to be “smart” to play any character but any character can do some crazy stuff if played “smartly”. Steve has a lot of tools and options for players to come up with creative combos.

[@tenacity25]

@@MuDkipzCHancelLOr bro waluigi is overrated lmao i can respect not enjoying steve but why would you want ANOTHER mario character in the game over the only indie rep in the entire playable roster excluding mii costumes. Sure, it's not an indie game anymore, but it started as one. If anything replace something like Byleth with waluigi lmao And honestly, fixing characters that weren't in a good spot - either balance wise or functionality wise - imo should've been more important anyways. But Sonic being lame when it doesn't really fit his character and Marth being trash shows the smash team didn't agree.

[@SilVer.-]

You don't have to be smart to play anyone

[@daseal1479]

3:01 for perfect Hungrybox poggers face, lmao. 😂

[@Guineaster]

3:21 definitely on purpose because Steve backed up from recovering to place more blocks

[@INK-Yoshi-PL]

HOLY SHIT I AM IN A HBOX VIDEO (and Yes it was Planed look how i even Take a Step back to place the Second Block)

[@Anonymys43]

Oh shit so you were that Steve, that was absolutely disgusting

[@LeBigZa]

3:10 is on purpose, he built away from the stage to cover the knockback!

[@kleeTheDarkKnight]

That Steve/Captain Falcon interaction has got to be the funniest bait I've ever seen

[@zigaudrey]

You don't need strength to win, you also need wit. 2:26 8:28 French footage.

[@Anonymys43]

ok...I noticed at 6:42, this man's hydrant pushed him backwards enough for that perfect KO range The fucking hydrant read that Dark Pit like a book

[@toasteve4432]

I would have loved to see a 1000 IQ Pyra/Mythra play, but we all know that Aegis mains operate entirely on instinct and all share one braincell. Lol (I say this as an Aegis main myself)

[@elitenano]

It's true, can confirm I also main Aegis

[@DragonMaster1818]

Lol

[@vicool217]

I don’t get how the clip at 1:05 wouldn’t have been planned. The link placed the bomb there set it up and spaced himself.

[@tugi187]

The clip at 1:56 is insane. People stay on the ledge against K Rool nuetral b.

[@plusah1268]

3:10 all Steve's do cool shit like this intentionally. We play this character to its legit limits Also 9:08 is the gimr setup. When Steve is on a block or anvil and it dissapears, the person you have grabbed always goes diagonally downward

[@RunstarHomer]

3:10 I know, Hbox wasn't sure if this was intentional but it definitely seemed intentional to me. The steve walked back to the right while placing blocks. He wouldn't have done that if he was just recovering

[@extonjonas6820]

That krule crown play was 1000 IQ for sure. I thought the crouch into rest was really cool but what do I know

[@eqhcdawg1775]

2:20 That was totally intentional by me lol

[@Zx30]

Freaking nice! I gotta try that :)

[@anthonyc1075]

[@AgentReplied]

AAAYYYYY the Luigi's mansion dark moon Library theme props to the Editor

[@tb.7788]

3:11 it’s definitely intentional he placed the first block and then another block further out. if he was just trying to recover he woulda went forward. massive brain

[@Megabooy1]

Man I love me some Steve big brain moves

[@aguchamp7766]

Idk if anyone will see or need to know this, but don't press the B button if you're trying to recover with Sora Side-B. That's what made him lock on to the Inkling.

[@plusah1268]

Fyi: all consumer grade/ advertised vpns are only good for switching regions in streaming services or bypassing download limits. Otherwise, they don't keep you private, and they don't really help you against malware. It doesn't help that they keep logs. Remember when they said they didn't? Nord also got hacked last year so I'd doubt the security of their services

[@ciaranpatrick6859]

3:16 I think it was intentional, see the way he walked backwards a little? If he was just trying to recover he probably wouldn’t have done that
