[@arn2556]

These guys have really good chemistry on comms, hope josh is on the mic at future events

[@rannynihilius8481]

Lovage is legit the best couch partner for these laid back events. He was that perfect puzzle piece for why that stacked Summit 11 couch was THE couch.

[@redpad79]

@@rannynihilius8481I’ve been missing lovage for years

[@zlol_ssbm]

I appreciate that the stage mods are rather minor but tasteful

[@1llus1oNz]

14:50 "How are you playing with this fisher price piece of shit?" LOL

[@JosoLifts]

so happy oscar (lovage) is back man. haven't heard from him in a BIT man

[@Spree86]

19:39 Toph had to recover after Mang0's phrasing lol

[@2Bryc2]

Lmaoo

[@notsmiffy]

its funny bc the pre interview plup was talkin a lil bitta shit and mang was being incredibly respectful, and then this happened

[@zoyboy1914]

what did plup say?

[@ojoemojo]

plup's amsah tech at 5:38 was so cold and yet it did absolutely nothing lol

[@wickedsamurai3323]

Lovage????

[@younglove6363]

It’s true dude

[@drewskt1]

I’ve always said a Mang0 that grabs 10% more is unstoppable (All Falcos should grab a bit more tbh) Edit: Mang0 even says so at the end of the vid. If you never grab, they aren’t afraid of it and feel too safe in shield. “They’ll just hold it”

[@Chizypuff]

I was gonna say, I think that's a direct mango quote from years ago

[@Azel954]

im glad we found lovage

[@Necrowarp_]

Both of them cracking a smile at 4:53 when plup is gimping mango with back air is wholesome af

[@Supertaldo916]

So, Plup destroys Amsa, Mang0 destroys Plup, Zain destroys Mang0 and Amsa Destroys Zain?

[@sharsasuke01]

Is that Egghead Zoro on a C9 shirt? Thats kinda fire.

[@dr_meth]

My boi finally winning an exhibition match.

[@micahjones7837]

Dayum Mang0 playing wild

[@sympathy_for_strays]

Hearing Oscar back on the mic is a treat I never thought I'd have again

[@blorkblob2645]

Absolutely loving Josh on the mic. Great energy

[@edgarfavela2309]

Why is nobody talking about that drippy shirt Mango is styling?

[@surfingraichu7594]

Mang0 played so good, love to see it👌 and having THE Big House champ on comms?!? Spoiled.

[@Vmpr666]

15:01 Jesus mango wtf was that

[@enriqueprada1979]

Grabbiest man in America

[@reassuranceneeder]

4:53 plup’s face kills me 😂

[@Pan_Z]

Joshman is a wonderful commentator for this type of set.

[@malonee]

Mango was MOVING

[@av6207]

Plup during the pregame interview: _"I'll give mang0 2 wins"_

[@BlanBlan19901990]

To be fair, he did give him 2 And 3 more

[@fatpandaJP]

Yes both players want to predict they will win, of course one of them will end up being wrong. Neither of them said 5-0 so the question was pretty meaningless

[@Spookieissick]

god I love joshy on the mic so much

[@unterbawr]

i think he does as well

[@anonanon521]

Lovage my goat!!!

[@pj2345-v4x]

People seriously forget just how consistent plup's tech chases were pre EVO panic attack. When the dude was grinding and going to every event and seemingly aiming for the number 1 spot, he was killing off grab at zero like more than half the time. It's not that Jmook pushed the tech chase way farther, plup just fell from grace in that specific area.

[@exeterd9]

Plup panic attack? Could you elaborate i have no idea of this

[@pj2345-v4x]

@@exeterd9 in 2018, EVO top 8, plup was having panic attacks. Not only was it the worst he ever played, you can actually see him clutching his chest after the armada set. He took a break from the game after, and never came back quite as seriously. He basically had a hiatus and came back an insanely high level casual.

[@rivage3900]

Go high never die has been said for ages, not sure who started it tho.

[@PattyFowl]

“Go high, win tournaments“ -mang0

[@ChampionShogo]

Joshman Commentary is excellent!

[@gohan7926]

Mang0 trying to make up for the Zain match 👀 Rematch?

[@jsmithers.]

Nah Plup is nowhere near in the same league as Cody Zain. Mango isnt there anymore either.

[@gohan7926]

@@jsmithers. Mango destroyed Plup in this set. If you’re trying to say he is relative to Mang0, and then using that to relate where Mang0 is at compared to Zain, then you need learn how to compute what 5-1 actually means. It means Plup ain’t even close. Also Mang0 beat Cody not but like 2 months ago and he has the best shot at catching up to Zain in this season. Isn’t there anymore!? What fucking game are you watching?

[@gohan7926]

@@jsmithers. Mango 5-1’d Plup. If you’re trying to say they are relative, and then comparing Mang0 to Zain based on that, then I need the stuff you’re taking. Also, Mang0 beat Cody and won a super major less than 3 months ago, ALSO Mang0 has the best chance to catch up to Zain out of any competitor in the season. So I don’t know what game you’re watching, maybe Ultimate, but it’s definitely not Melee.

[@Deepestdrip]

​@@jsmithers. Mango has won his last 4 sets against Cody. Tell me you don't watch melee without telling me you don't watch melee.

[@3three3three3three]

don't worry about john smith. he's the most dedicated mango troll there is. i've been watching his movements for years. dude has no life other than saying negative things about mango, however far of a reach it may be. p.s. i appreciate hat knuckles

[@justsomeguy7042]

Sick event, but Lovage being back was my favorite of part.

[@bagamer13]

Lovage ❤

[@darlingj.canela]

You love to see the goat regaining confidence after the Zain disaster 😅

[@MorphBall1]

What zain disaster?

[@codetaku]

@@MorphBall1 mang0 got 10-0'd a few weeks ago at a different showmatch

He's not the goat after that 10-0.

Joshman comms are blessed :)

[@shady8045]

Yeah he’s really wholesome

[@savaget2058]

15:01 This sequence was crazy

[@Rivid_]

please please PLEASE get me joshman on more comms im fucking crying laughing

[@XxuplmxX]

8:45 I see what you did there lovage, goat commentator

[@mambamd1190]

ive always held the controller like plup, before i knew anyone did, or realized i even did it

[@shady8045]

I swear to god Australians legit just have "the c word pass" at this point. like no one even cared or said anything.

[@KevinOnEarth_]

It’s just a word mate. Meaning and context are different in other parts of the English speaking world. While it may hit harder in the states, doesn’t mean the rest of the world follows America’s sociolinguistic behavior.

[@shady8045]

@@KevinOnEarth_ yeah ik I'm just pointing it out cause its funny, ig the tone sounded serious but I don't care that much.

[@Chizypuff]

Plup definitely did not steal game 2. Ahead the whole time, gimped mango when be was already a stock up

[@etin97]

absolutely insane neutral by the 🐐

[@jackhogg6961]

Toph and Josh is a great pair.

[@ghostintheshellofaghost]

this isn't a tournament??

[@supertop764]

coming from someone who likes joshman, bro was yapping way too much

[@JennyMDMA]

what a take

[@supertop764]

was looking for this comment. but the melee community has never heard an australian before so they just adore everything he says

[@DarkWhatever91]

The result of the march is 5-1 in favor of Mango.

[@notsmiffy]

what is the point of this comment, people dont wanna get spoiled my man
