Game 5: You can feel Hbox getting ready to unleash an astronomical popoff, and you can feel Leffen getting ready to tweet and complain about how puff has the ability to jump and should be removed, just in case he loses.

I love that the water bottle throw was timed with the victory music. Perfect synergy

The shimmy into getting instantly bodied was so funny LOL

[@SSB_Seal]

This was such an exciting set, a true rollercoaster of emotion. Leffen dominating, Hbox bringing it back, Leffen finally clutching it out all made it very fun to watch!

[@Vertigoat]

Goddamn you are on every smash vod I see loool

[@Spree86]

Leffen is out here creating a new stage hazard.

Hi thorik :D big fan of ur music

[@dontworryaboutit42069]

Bro 702 inputs per minute with puff is crazy

[@zweePOP]

if you think that’s crazy, the next 3 players ALSO had exactly 702 ipm

[@Bikegod1]

pretty sure that counts drift inputs, so really not very surprising thats kinda puffs thing

[@sharsasuke01]

@@Bikegod1 I mean are they not inputs?...

[@Bikegod1]

@Duke what? I'm saying they are, which is why the input numbers are as high as they are, there's just a big difference between clicking a button and rolling the analog stick. Every good puff has crazy high inputs, not an hbox exclusive thing

[@daimajin266]

​@@zweePOP they hadn't. If you compare it was 1:1 the exact same stats sheet

[@Gr8saiyaman88]

What a treat to still see these two competing in 2023. Only time will tell how many games these two have vs each other. Also: always great to see Hbox’s “are ya’ll seeing this?” face when someone else pops off lol

18:57 for those who came to see it

[@racerking5901]

I wanted Leffen to win but the Clutchbox moment at the end of game 4 made me pop off low key... At least I was glad it was close after the one sided first two games. Amazing set between these two as always

[@rowanmadden8689]

Game 3 insanity

[@Greatermaxim]

This Hungryboy really likes Melee. He probably plays ultimate too. His character pick for each game gets more unpredictable every year. They need to design one he can not master.

[@geraldson7501]

Despite the tough game 5 loss I think Hbox deserves major props for staying in the tournament despite the unfortunate circumstances with his controller with two phobs going bad on him and he even had to switch after game 1 against zain. Hbox even said he really wanted to dq but he perserved and beat aklo and took leffen to the limit here. Compare that to mango who decided to go marth in losers against s2j and got 3-0d. You would think that mango would want to prove himself at his return back but clearly that is not the case. Hbox has had many chances where he could DQ like mango has done so many times but he has shown yet again that he is a true and honest competitor.

[@AL-lh2ht]

Mango should just retire. He clearly does not care about competing anymore and his GOAT status he knows is a joke (has not been ranked first since 2014)

[@sbgaming6951]

​@@AL-lh2ht We all love when he does good but the truth is he's just not that consistent anymore and it's clear he just can't keep up with today's top players. He doesn't try to reinvent his play style at all and completely disregards his fox (who gave him his last biggest tourny win). I feel the current mango is just too lazy to be a 2023 try hard melee competitor 😢

[@rambo3rd471]

All ya'll in the comments need to stfu. If mang0 wants to play Marth, let him play Marth. How many times does he have to prove himself to you? Life is not all about games. You are not entitled to how another person decides to live their life.

[@sbgaming6951]

@@rambo3rd471 I never said he cant play marth I was just making an observation, and he doesn't need to prove anything to me but being that melee is his main source of income I'm sure he does want to continue winning

[@sbgaming6951]

@@rambo3rd471 and for mango in particular yea his life kinda is and has been all about this video game. It's not like he has a pension or a trade skill to support himself but I get your point

2023 Hbox is so much better than 2019 Hbox.

[@rannynihilius8481]

In some areas like RTC rest and general meta adaptions sure but did you watch how composed, cold and accurate 2019 Juan was. Bro made Melee look solved and was the guy for a reason and i still think if Covid and Ult stream wouldn't have happend he would be a Top 3 guy till this day.

[@PalPlays]

@@rannynihilius8481 It looked solved because everyone else was worse.

[@rannynihilius8481]

@@PalPlays that's also a part but look at some sets from Hbox and how clean he played. The dude didn't drop his stuff compared to now where he looks like an actual glass cannon player. There is a clear difference in aura when he plays now aswell in my opinion. You know that feeling Zain gave everyone in the last 3 years? That's what i mean. It was MU experience aswell but i still think he sort of is a lesser player in a lot stuff now than the past most dominant force in the game.

[@NatePhan]

​@@rannynihilius8481 I would say there are a few factors as to why Hbox is preforming differently. One would be that he doesn't have Chruch around anymore to help him. I would say Chruch was a big boost in both his moral and analytical skills. Second is that he's focusing more on ultimate/streaming. People can call it johns, but at the end of the day streaming/expanding your brand will net you more money than winning a tourney.

[@rannynihilius8481]

@@NatePhan i think that Slippi made everyone better but a few players that really thrived in normal CRT enviroments like Axe, Plup and him actually worse aswell as your named factors mentioned above.

Fox lasers solve like 90% of the matchup for him, its crazy just how overwhelmingly powerful he is vs Puff. Honestly, I have no idea how HBox hasnt ragequit this game. If I had to fight my worst MU at top level as often as he does I'd go mentally insane.

[@LoKing1337]

Cuz up throw rest

[@user-oo8js3sf3q]

You and it seems like all other players in the commentary have no fucking clue, how hard it is, to shoot those sh lasers and sh double lasers in the right timing and to be aware all the time, to not get punished for it, hardest tech/aware moment in the Game. 99% of you are just talking nonsense, without being nearly on that lvl or be in that spot. There was a 1% chance Leffen could won, after hbox has a lead and could camp the whole game on the ledge and you don't have valid options to beat it, the risk reward is insanely bad. Leffen just had luck, that huan decided to approach after 1 minute, what his was his fault, but there was no needing for hin to do that.
