[@DapuffStuff]

Tournaments Mango won on Mother's Day: 2014- GOML 2015- Press Start 2016- Dreamhack Austin 2017- Royal Flush

[@HotelMarioMD]

Proof that Mother's Day Mang0 > Prime Armada + Prime Hungrybox

[@HotelMarioMD]

+Not William Magardician I only stated that whenever Hbox is playing super on-point. You're correct that he did play pretty bad against Armada and Mang0 lel

[@chirsgw5360]

lol mothers day is the wrestlemania to mango's undertaker

[@daikumi]

James Olsen really?

[@LukeMM95]

Mommy's boy Mang0 is undefeatable.

[@ShinyHunterHunter]

Definitely some of the best Melee I've ever watched. These sets reminded me why I love this game. Good stuff to both players, this was amazing.

[@narutouzumakijoshua]

Shiny Hunter Hunter bet if armada won you wouldn't be saying this lmfao

[@ShinyHunterHunter]

narutouzumakijoshua Lmao what? Armada is my favorite player in this game

[@smashjigglypuffisnotfemale1130]

45:26 " It's not over, It's Armada! " Truer words have never been spoken from a Melee crowd, lmao.

[@YellowlabSianna]

I like how you can tell that Armada is enjoying himself.

[@octaviogonzalez8794]

Mark B. They both love playing each other. Mango after the set "I love going in against armada, its a thrill I either get 12% or die" i thought that was pretty funny

[@neonANIMS]

43:39 Can we appreciate the fact that he double-lasered with fox in game five?

[@SnyderChips07]

I rofl’d when I saw that

[@neonANIMS]

#gongibongi

[@capnsquishy]

this confirmed the legend of "mother's day mango" one of the greatest sets of all time

[@XxuplmxX]

This set is an instant classic, I can see it being in the smash history books 10 years into the future.

[@AnwarSadot]

uplm I swear lol

[@Themonkeymartin]

On the right track to being so

[@gi5897]

You were right

[@EgoIncarnation]

All time hood classic

[@mtarantino42]

Correct. I remember watching this and showing it to my friend who doesn't really watch smash later that week and he was blown away. The end of the 2nd place master.

[@itsacrocidile]

Sat on the vgbc uploads page for 5 minutes refreshing just to see the pop off again

[@zemc77]

Favorite moments: 19:56 Mang0 survives the insurvivable 20:11 Member of the crowd screaming the most terrified "NO!" I've ever heard 20:30 Mango's reaction when he resets the bracket 37:53 Mang0 dash-dances into charged upsmash 37:57 Waffles and Phil poke fun at the crowd rooting for Mang0 39:08 Waffles and Phil try to guess what's going on based on in-game sound 42:24 Waffles and Phil got hope into "uhh maybe not?" 45:55 Mango's face when he realizes he's won

[@dinospumoni5611]

It's not over; he got greedy legendary commentary

[@leesvarietychannel6540]

Twitch streamer takes two sets off the #1 Melee player in the world!

[@thepatriot5000]

Easily the best grand finals of the year. Happy Mother's Day everyone

[@Krab17]

Tbh this GF was even better than BH6 when Mango turned to the crowd.

[@naturalTHEATER]

my two favorite mango tournies ever

[@rcdotjpeg]

"When's the last time he did it from losers?" "literally like Genesis 1 bro"

[@Krab17]

Big house 6, literally play 15 games against Armada

[@HVST8935]

Randomchallenger Mango won tbh6 from winners

[@aydenka8452]

Randomchallenger Mang0 got to grands in winners, then lost the 1st set to Armada 3-1 which put him in losers, then won 3-2.

[@b0gu5_94]

Yea they're talking about mango entering grand finals in losers and beating armada 2 sets in a row to win the tournament, which he hasn't done since Genesis 1

[@ramz1937]

He was in winners bro, check before you comment.

[@HuyNguyen-vj1uw]

I think its funny how a god beating a god is an upset, that shows how good Armada is, props to Mangdeezy though.

[@TakingSouls4free]

I think that was the first time mango hugged hbox

[@EonNite]

I believe they hugged at the end of one of their Evo sets, though I can't remember which.

[@jeffethegamingadvocate2821]

Holy fuck how was it not over at 19:56

[@rcdotjpeg]

Graham Jeffe holy fuck you're right

[@TarnishedS]

Adam got greedy. He definitely could've ended it there, but nerves rushed him.

[@kabindrapradhan840]

Plot armor

[@charliesazo1230]

Graham Jeffe aren't you the guy who spoiled the GF set in the last upload?? Fuck you.

[@jeffethegamingadvocate2821]

Lmao shoulda been watching!!!

[@BunnyCommander717]

You could tell even Armada was happy that Mang0 won. After Mang0 popped off, Armada's face was like "welcome back."

[@scblol2694]

Out of all the years I've lived as a diehard sports fan, this tournament was by far the hypest I've ever gotten for a W. LET'S GO MANGO

[@dinospumoni5611]

Only moment that compares to me was Cavs winning in 2016 as a lifelong Cavs fan.

[@D.A.-Espada]

The presence of mind and knowledge to know that up smash would work after the falling nair on battlefield first set is amazing

[@Charmolution]

Armada's streak ended by a washed-up, alcoholic, overweight Mario Kart streamer!?

[@sleeh28]

mhm .3.

[@diversemarlord6281]

Sadly but yeah, I guess that mango deserves this, and at the end, Armada said that he can't be too hard on himself after all this time that remained unbeatable. Though, its pretty funny for me to see how everyone goes crazy when Armada doesn' win, like , if melee isn't about the rivalries anymore, instead, it's just about not letting Armada win XD.

[@SuperCatacata]

Drazen ECKSSSS DEEEEEEEEEEE

[@TheBigSad8247]

Octavio Gonzalez RIP the meme.

[@apocalypseap]

+SuperCatacata I prefer ecks dee over twitch emoticons or the gay-ass crylaugh face.

[@sunflowertheog]

this was top 5 most hype sets of all time in melee. if you're watching this from any time non recent, you don't understand the energy that was in the air from all platforms watching, at the event or commentating. this needed to happen to melee.

[@franckfernandes2629]

This is the OLD Mang0 we all now and love.

[@austin4601]

Mang0 so drunk he hugged Hbox.

[@TheRandomThings23]

mang0 was sober

[@il100374]

You're fun at parties.

[@9volt65]

You know who's not fun at parties Hbox lmao

[@SpOoOokyGhost]

GOT EM!

[@Fernando17892]

Mango is always drunk

[@rat4992]

Not only did they go 2-1 in sets and play all possible 15 games, but at the end Mango hugs Armada, and even as the crowd celebrates with Mango, you see Adam smile. Obviously both players wanted to win, but in the end they were just happy to push one another’s limits and have a good set.

[@kayossangel]

Camera man is on fucking point.

[@kitschulz9073]

White Glint ikr. Camera man needs more love

[@despeinado340]

When he circled around Armada and turned to sink into the screen.

[@saspa2366]

I wish I saw the chat when he won. It would've been amazing.

[@MoonEarthSaturn]

Lloydin theVoid it really was bro

[@sunflowertheog]

you can still go back in the VOD on twitch, twitch . tv / vgbootcamp and go to that moment, everything was insane :D

[@sangan3202]

Lloydin theVoid there is a chat replay option

[@AznPandaFTW]

A whole lotta "YESSSS" and "MANGOOOO"

[@xXMrSheepXx]

Check the vods, they come with the whole twitch chat by the side of the video there.

[@TA-ew9bi]

>Be me, Armada >Be best melee player in the world >Undefeated in 2017 >Go to Royal Flush. Just another day in the office. >Get to GF winners side. Start thinking about celebration. >Fat man alcoholic who I beat already makes it to GF. Well, ok. >Fat man wins set 1. Alright, alright I need a bathroom break. >Game 5 set 2. How is this happening? >Fat man wins set 2. Fucking Alex19 rushes stage. >"What the fack."

[@rodrigolugo1403]

Legendary set between legendary players. Definitely the best Melee I´ve seen in a while. Mother´s day Mang0 is busted.

[@LxuryGoods]

HMW's and Phil's commentary gives me life! The perfect mixture of great Melee and jokes. 👌🏼

[@ZUUL_93]

The MacD practice payed off.

[@naquan59]

yeah I almost forgot. macD is like the prince abu of peach.

[@soruuu]

There are like a thousand Peaches in the world though

[@ZUUL_93]

True. I guess only time will tell if this streak of his can keep going. Truth be told, he almost looked like Armada's fox here.

[@ferreroman2913]

like armada theres only one, so thats one reason why he always win, noone is prepared for it

[@awarebear7938]

GateKeeper ZUUL actually he lost two. can't forget drunk Armada losing

[@MrCiNiC]

They considered lifting him until reality set in.

[@donelle1231]

[@SchmitzCinemaStudies]

This was so much fun to watch live, back and forth the whole way.

[@Insertagereviewer]

Still my favorite grands even 6 years later

This was one of the greatest sets of all time, I can't stop rewatching it.

I actually teared up a little because I was so happy mango won and I'm a little baby

[@alvaros2741]

[@shinitaigang]

shout out to shannon

[@penguindrummer252]

[@savanchandul7451]

I wanted Armada to win. So don't see Fox winning again.

[@bigjoe2438]

Savan Chandul That is the dumbest shit ive ever heard. Fox hasn't won a huge tournament in a long while.

[@HotelMarioMD]

How the fuck can a washed-up has been Mario Kart streamer beat the current #1 player in Melee in two sets, let alone consecutively?

[@MrVince329]

Focus, Commitment, and Sheer Effing Will

[@Momo-ek1xy]

Because washed up is a meme and mang0 getting first isn't really new in the grand scheme of things.

[@XMan396]

Matt October duh doi

[@HotelMarioMD]

+Matt October The joke went over your head like that botched edgeguard at 19:56

[@Krab17]

omfg

[@banditimaclubyou8388]

that mango pop off at the end was all the built up tourney losses by armada in one burst I loved it

[@IcelandicBeast]

Can you guys imagine how crazy scar would've gone when he saw the mangle at the end of game 5 first set if he was commentating? Let's go Mang0 back on the board.

[@SunnyhuunS88]

"Mango's coming from loser's side, right??" *Sees video is 48 minutes long ".... so you're saying there's a chance..."

[@sharsasuke01]

48:17 That smile is the most wholesome thing ever.

[@voltingmaster5458]

Finally an actual anime battle between Mango And Armada.

[@drew8725]

People say Mother's Day plot armour, I see Mang0 channeled the sprit of Mingee.

[@ExtractorGames]

DAMN mangos pop off at the end... Never sleep on the kid...

[@panoramictv9249]

If that was a movie that was the greatest one I've ever watched. Fox the hero against the archvillian Peach. 19:54 When Armada faired him off stage into the abyss and dropped down everyone knew it was over. But while Mango was down there its like time stopped.. and the Melee gods or sakurai or whatever higher power spoke to Mango and said "this is your last chance kid." And the rest is history.

[@Dlord1PlayStation]

We finally got him! The old Mango! Wave-shining Peach Mango! XD

[@sirtimothy92]

Mango gained shit ton of techskills......from Mario Kart

[@paxtonfaz1572]

IMHO one of the best and most important sets in all of Melee history.

[@blitz_is_loveally8283]

man, for some reason i love armada i mean even he hasnt the people, he lives with it. he has way more respect than leffen. smash love and bad english from germany✌

[@aaronsanchez6833]

Blitz_is_LOVE Ally he's actually from Sweden just sayin

[@blitz_is_loveally8283]

Aaron Sanchez yes i know am i not allowed to love a smasher from a different country than mine;)?

[@blitz_is_loveally8283]

well, then ice is the only smahser i will be cheering for😂

[@aaronsanchez6833]

Blitz_is_LOVE Ally oh I'm sorry I thought you meant he was from Germany and not yourself

[@Tselel]

Never underestimate the power of the script.

[@cherryb0ng]

9:54 What they say here is exactly it. Later in one of his analysis Mang0 will reveal that Tafo told him to go marth on FD so he wouldn't feel bad if he lost. Coaching top players isn't just telling them the best thing to do but it's also knowing psychology.

[@shad0wphoenix1]

Watching this live was absolutely bonkers. One of the best grand finals in melee history in my opinion.

[@rat4992]

I remember popping off so hard this entire Grand Finals. Mango making an amazing comeback.

[@nnlbcarnage360]

Hypest tournament we've had in a looooooong time.

[@theonesinblk]

Im glad Armada didn't take another tournament, its been so long since hes been dethroned. and while i think Mango is the best person to take the W I actually want to see some new blood control the top spots. Leffen has been slumping and I can't wait to see if he has the GOML plot armor like mangos mothers day armor.

[@theonesinblk]

dawg im so fucking happy.

[@gonzo_o_o]

I'll always say that this is the greatest set of the modern era of Melee, rivaled only by Grand Finals of Apex 2015 and EVO 2016 - interestingly, Armada lost in each one, perhaps a testament to how important he is to this game's history. Each of those victories meant so much to those respective players and their own struggles and triumphs at the time. This is what I think of when I think of Melee.

[@hibiki8473]

I mean Amanda when he retired was the goat. And since 3 years after your comment which took like 2 more top 5 melee sets of all time by melee to make it way more comman that mang0 is just the goat. It shows how dominant Armada run was

[@gonzo_o_o]

@@hibiki8473 I'm actually happy to be reminded of my comment and this set from 5 years ago, especially just after Mango claiming another Summit haha Big House 6 comes to mind as another top-tier Mango/Armada grands from this era. I'm curious what you think those new all-time sets of Melee were, since then? In my opinion, they were Big House 9 grands and Summit 11 grands... which, interestingly enough, featured Mango/Zain It's kinda funny how both Armada and Zain are in some of the best sets of Melee history, but both of them lost. Almost like they were the final boss... and yet, time and time again, Mango does the impossible :')

[@forrestrobinson2754]

Best tournament ever. Love you melee 😭

[@memory744]

Props to the post pop off camera man

[@MrJholshouser41]

If Armada just stays on the ledge, this game is over. 19:56

[@nichonifroa1]

Watched this set so many times, yet I still hold my breath on game 5

[@Take5Gaming]

Mother's Day Mang0

[@adrianpeterson9668]

I never knew Dave grohl was so good at smash

[@Frickstar66]

One of the best pop offs in Melee history

[@mikegriffin8369]

My favorite part rewatching this is seeing Armada's smile while Mang nation rushes the stage at 46:00 a competitor, with a true love for the game and community :)

[@ethanflinner8254]

Best Grand Finals this year, and is competing with Mango vs Leffen @ G4, Mew2King vs Plup @ Summit 2017, and Wizzrobe vs Hbox Set 1 @ Rivalries for Set of the Year (so far)

[@jcarachure111]

the new Mario Kart 9 game looks great

[@IWish2500]

What's with all this hate on Mang0? He's still easily top 5 in Melee, him winning a tournament, on Mother's Day no less, really shouldn't be too much of a surprise

[@YellowlabSianna]

it's a meme you dip

[@IWish2500]

Mark B. By the amount of likes from your comment, you probs know more than I do. I admit my mistake home dawg squad

[@eligillispie1206]

Also I believe that this was the only two sets that Armada has lost this year so it is a fairly big deal.

[@Dankyjrthethird]

Brian Stewart lol mango is def not top 5. r/smashbros aka the #1 authority for smash news says he is top 20 at best. the top 5 are armada armada armada hbox chu 👏

[@Swigged]

vehlajatt22 sick bait

[@naroghin2519]

Excellent commentary from Phil and HMW. Perfect balance of hype and commentary.

[@megaanderson97]

Damn this set didn't feel like 48 minutes when I was watching it. Great games.

[@wiigenius]

Fantastic melee. Life is great.

[@meatsauce4772]

I MISSED THE OLD MANGO AND NOW HES BACK

[@Alahiji]

45:23 when someone from the crowd shouts "It's not over!" Goosebumps

[@s_4589]

45:55 Seeing even Mang0 being surprised by his upsmash hitting Armada put a smile on my face. He couldn't believe it. Like "I did it??? I FUCKING DID IT!!!!"

[@ItsFitzz]

I LOVE THE NEW MANGO

[@1m1337noSh1t]

Peach vs Marth game shows how much skill and game knowledge Armada has OMG its insane

[@WTFate]

I knew Mango would be the one to stop him. I don't think any of the other gods have it in them to beat current Armada. I hope he keeps the buster at bay for a while, these are the sets that keep Melee alive.

[@Isaiiahzz]

Can't believe Armada was playing like this back in 2017. Hope he can return sometime in 2021 where everyone seems to be playing with a crazy punish game.

[@TheLuxma]

Now compare this to Chu vs Hbox grand finals and talk about what's best for the game

[@nathanielausten1577]

HE BLEEDS!!

[@apocalypseap]

The commentary could've been less biased, but I didn't want Armada to win again, either. Something to keep in mind for next time, Phil and HMW.

[@danielspahn3891]

apocalypseap why wouldn't the americans prefer the goat

[@Lebreezyy]

the commentary without being able to see the match is pretty impressive

[@crazy4comedy]

I come back to this match sometimes to remember how hype it was and how happy it made me...god damn it Mango..long live the fucking kid

[@adamc5478]

Mang0 just got bodied

[@DeanHakimia]

Is armada washed up?

[@MrEmmanuel678]

DeanHakimia are you trippin? He beat Mang0 and the rest of everybody for straight 8 months. If anything he's at his prime.

One of the greatest Melee sets of all time

[@LuMiSaDi]

Melee HD. 15 more years

[@ColByte]

Yeah about that.... 🙈

[@Treecko_2099]

So, does this surpass Mango v Leffen @ Genesis 4?

[@hitchhikrsguide7522]

SgtTreecko hell yeah

[@topdeckkek2266]

I'd say it rivals to Hbox vs Armada at EVO 2016. Game 10 all the way baby!

[@rakkatytam]

I don't know, take out the personal history and just focus on the game at hand and the Mango vs Leffen set was in my opinion way more exciting.

[@ethanflinner8254]

Mango vs Leffen probably had better play overall but this set A. Had fucking amazing play and B. Meant something to melee. B1. Mango is not in fact a washed up alcoholic mario kart streamer and B2. ARMADA BLEEDS HARD.

[@jamiecal11]

SgtTreecko Not even close. Maybe from Mango's side but the match itself was higher at Genesis.

[@bobbykite8705]

Man I miss Phil on the mic.

[@bluesilkdesigns]

21:03 I love the rockstar moment of Armada walking off in leather jacket lol

[@pkfirst]

Absolutely amazing set. Also Mango going Marth wasn't that "crazy" If you go back and watch WTFOX 2 Mango 3-0d Armada in Grand Finals on winners side. The 3rd game on FD he went red marth.

[@juanoshigeru]

Armada such a good sport in the end

[@kirjian]

Armada's peach is a work of art. How come the commentators aren't mentioning this more often? Armada does things that shouldn't be possible in this game. :/

[@bobjackson1869]

kirjian they do talk about his peach alot. Plus it's a "washed up" underdog vs the champ. Everyone loves a good underdog story.

[@trashman1791]

19:56 people like to say armada got greedy here, but ive seen him do this exact combo so many times. Pretty much every fox up b's immediately after the first fair but mango is fucking crazy and dipped extra low to avoid the fair

[@KawiChris]

Commentators when mango dies: "oh no!" Commentators when armada dies: "OH YEA!"

[@TB317]

Ok but they also praised and aknowledged Armada a TON. People act like they shit on armada. No one does, the excitement of the storyline just favors the underdog which is literally ANYONE vs the man that almost never loses.

[@KawiChris]

TB317 that's true, I know it wasn't one sided, it was a joke for the most part. But I'm happy for mango

[@notsmiffy]

that guy that awkwardly hugged alex at the end lmao
