Pound 2019 || SSBM Top 8 Highlights ft Mang0, Hungrybox, Plup, Zain

[@junkfire4554]

omg, Chudat's wobbles were insane! he was all like "Z A A A A A...," and just when I thought he couldn't get any nuttyer he goes "A A A A A A...". Dude's got the magic touch. sucks that he lost to a cheap ass Falcon knee, though. And at like 111% too! that move's broken

[@Pehz63]

It's quite funny to see how much "it's the year 20XX, everyone plays Fox dittos on FD" has changed. It's great to see that so many characters are viable enough that the best of the best play such a variety.

Puff privilege. Puff players don't get hand fatigue. They'll always have the advantage in a best of 5.

[@ezrafagta9506]

@@TruthTe11er u gotta hand it to hbox tho. He managed to make a mid tier character to potentially making it the best character in the game. But personally i dont like how jigglypuff plays but that's kind of the point since puff plays fundamentally different to what we consider melee is. Fast paced gameplay with alot of tech skill involved. But then again hungrybox created a sub meta where pro players have to learn how to beat his puff

[@weilzudope]

@@ezrafagta9506 what are you talking about, mango was winning tournaments and dominating with jigglypuff before hbox

I'm really disappointed by how disrespectful people are to Hbox. This is *your* game, and Jigglypuff is a character in it. Maybe you shouldn't like Melee instead of Hbox if you're going to be so childish. Also, if Jigglypuff is so cheap, we should be seeing them pop up everywhere to win tourneys. Let's not pretend that people wouldn't also play Puff if they could win with Puff. The man has skill, and, like it or not, he is winning at the game you support.

And the top8 itself was SUPER hype,, where the least hype match was prolly the 4 game losers with Hbox vs S2J. And that says a lot.

[@chrismdb5686]

How would you feel if you simply tried your best to play a game you love, only to be hated by the majority of the community associated with said game. HBox constantly has to deal with death threats, rude-ass chants in tournament (see Genesis 6 for the Fuck HBox chant they did there), other forms of harassment, and now he's having things thrown at him just because he's the best player in the world and plays Jigglypuff. Not to mention the fact of throwing something at someone is considered assault.

[@kickmonlee3390]

I know that many fans hate on Hbox which is what led to the crab being thrown at him. I in no way condone these actions, but damn do I hate watching him play (I dont really like watching a puff edge guard or rest, it just seems really cheap and similar to wobbling) and seeing how annoyed these competitors get when playing him. Props to Hbox for not quitting the game because of the community hating on him, but honestly I wish he would stop competing in melee. I would like to enjoy watching grand finals again, since at the moment I just watch day 1 and the beginning of top 8. I am not sure about how this would affect the viewership of melee as a whole, but I know I would watch more top level melee if he wasn't playing.

[@vulblhotdiessfi]

it is not similar to wobbling at all. Jigglypuff is a TRUE glass cannon character, dies extremely early but can kill extremely early. If the person playing against jigglypuff doesn't respect her space, then you will get fucked on. I would call fox's up smash broken because it kills puff at 20%, and I would say I hate watching people upsmash, but does that make it similar to wobbling? no! you need to do an insane read to edgeguard as jigglypuff or hit a laggy Upsmash as fox, wobbling requires NO skill.
