The problem with a runback now is that both players are in such different places in their lives then the original set. Even if they did rematch, which would be a blast to watch, there is no way it could ever be comparable to the melee players who faced off in 2010.

The real question is how this setting changes happened so many times? I play this game since the 64 version and never have I or any of my friends "accidentally" modified the damage ratio, but I heard from it quite a lot when it comes to tournaments. And aren't other players using the exact same settings aswell once Armada and SilentSpectre finished their Bo3?

I'd say the SilentSpectre win is valid. Sure it wasn't played with the correct Damage Ratio but both players were dealt the same hand at 0.9. It's not as drastic as saying that the outcome of a set with Items on in Tournament Bracket is a completely valid win.

It's not the same as a real life fight, you watch your percent and you can tell exactly how far/high someone will fly from each of your moves. Which can tell you if a move can be combo'ed into or if it can be used to kill. Example: with different characters, If you up threw someone at 100%, and that specific character will die at exactly 100% from that character's u throw, but the knockback is set to 0.9, they are no longer at 100%, but instead 90%! Which will no longer kill. While I understand that both characters were dealt the same hand, 0.9 knockback. I could never agree with anyone that it was fair, since for the newer player, they are at a slight advantage over the veteran player. A great and practiced player will know exactly how much knockback they will deal, changing the values is the same as handicapping someone.

I kind of see Armada in a different light after his comments about the match. He has a good case for being the greatest Melee player of all time, and it kind of feels like he was taking away a pretty legitimate win from another really great player. Armada considers it a really big accomplishment to have never been beaten in a bo5 by any American players outside the top 6, and SilentSpectre probably feels the same way about his own win over Armada. If SS had practiced the peach matchup for months on end at 0.9 and then somehow changed the damage ratio without anyone noticing, that would obviously invalidate his accomplishment, but I don't think that's the case. The mature thing to do for Armada would be to say that maybe it wasn't strictly tournament legal, but both players were playing on equal footing and SS won the set fair and square. That's just my takeaway though. Great vid!

I thought I was the only one who felt notes of this in his comments. I'm sure it was tempting to just call it invalid and lean into it, so I'm kind of just appreciating that it didn't devolve to that (not that Armada would do that), but he could have still said that SS won fair and square and to just drop the issue, because, if what he says is true, he doesn't even care about that loss anymore anyway. It shouldn't matter to him if SS gets some shine.

Doesn’t matter, Jeff still would have won the set. He TWO STOCKED ARMADA on ARMADA’S COUNTERPICK. First game Armada maybe takes it. Second game is SS’ counterpick, which looks probably his favor, and third is FD, which is already a TWO STOCK. Jeff played out of his mind this set, and he deserves the win.

Doesn’t work like this, the fact that Armada went down first game could’ve impacted his mental and if Jeff lost after a close game one it would’ve impacted his too. It’s not just what you see on the screen

Man, every time I watch a video like this, I want to dive deeper into esports, specifically the Smash community. I love the hype crowds have like with the Wombo Combo vid, and I'm always so invested in lore like The Five Gods and the win that inspired this video. Maybe when I'm freer I can spend more time diving fully into competitive Smash

Wow, I remember the day this set happened and everyone was like SEE!? FALCON IS LEGIT, he can win a major etc and feeling inspired. What a bummer to find out Jeff's win wasn't legit even though he clearly played amazing. TBF The ratio makes every single interaction questionable, even if the throw was the most noticeable. Crazy detective work by the community to notice.

It's unfortunate whenever anything like this happens in Melee. But I think it is stupid to have player replay matches unless they both agree to it. I mean the winner should want to replay the set, but I don't think they should be forced to. These kind of things happen outside of esports too. For example filling up a football too much or there being an irregular hole in the field or something. You don't see them replaying a football game.

A loss is a loss. If it's not caught and corrected within a specific time frame relevant to the tournament itself, then it's a match that counts simply because both parties agreed to played the set. Sure, both of them didn't know or noticed this at the time, but how can you say that "the only way to make it count" is to have them replay it today in 2020 when not only do both of them have years of experience they didnt have at the time, but also won't change the fact that Armada went to Loser's Bracket and ultimately ended at 4th. We can only do better and make sure to check the game rules before agreeing to play each and every set to prevent this scenario from ever repeating again.

True, but stuff that would’ve happened on 1.0 could’ve changed the outcome of the match. In .9: Peach: Down Smash and aerials don’t kill as early, the forced tumble from up throw that could’ve led to a combo or a chain grab isn’t possible. Falcon: General kill moves don’t kill as early, makes it easier to combo into knee confirms since Peach is thrown a shorter distance for a longer stretch of %, being sent a shorter distance helps him recover easier until later %’s than usual (Peach doesn’t matter as much since she has a very horizontal recovery and can make it back easier than Falcon). There are other things I’m sure, but I don’t play Melee much, just watch it a lot. I personally think the .9 KB helped Silentspectre more than Armada. Correct me if I’m wrong though.
