Slime v Blur was the best set I've seen in a while. Pros being invested in a couple of 0-2er's games led to some great, great moments. Shoutout to Mang0 for being a scrub at heart. Anytime they started to panic, Mang0 knew exactly the shitty hail Mary option that they'd go for 😂

@@hyperionf6357 I get what you mean about it being more intense, when the game starts there is more adaption you need to do / some tricks the opponent might have you don’t know about. But I think the mentality these two have is so admirable, they aren’t trying to rely on tricks or the other person not being warmed up, they are trying to outplay each other by having the highest peak skill and consistency. It’s so cool lol
@Pingponglu420698 ай бұрын
Yeah, not playing together does give a slight surprise to the field, but having them warming up together lets them both know exactly what to expect from each other. In the mental game, it’s far more exciting seeing what they’ll do in their multi multi multi level mental micro situations.

Unless your personality is interesting enough to build you a loyal fan base by the thousands who watches you stream regularly and thus help you pull in sponsorship deals that actually makes you and your org money (à la C9 Mang0 and Liquid Hungrybox), or you are signed by an org whose owners are basically doing charity for the scene they love (à la Moist eSports and Mogul Moves), job security is an illusion if you can't make any money for the people who invested in you.

Guy embodies everything as a player that i love about the game right now. Enters events concistently, loves being pushed further and is just so damn passionate about playing. Still can't believe that the rookie kid who i have learned about from a Smash Summit Space Jam Skit is now the best player in the world 3 years later. Let's hope for a great 2024 for the game with all the big names like mang0, Hbox, Wizzy and Plup returning in full force. I love y'all and please keep Melee alive!

The Zain Cody set is pretty convincing proof of 20XX. When Fox is played optimally (if a little boringly), he has no losing matchups, period. Fox’s ability to survive and QUICKLY kill makes him unbeatable at the highest levels of play. Honestly the slow realisation that one character completely dominates the entire melee cast is a bit sad; takes some of the variety out of the game imo.
@Bb0yTaiOne8 ай бұрын
Although I do think Fox is the best character in the game, this is the first time a solo Fox is number one. Marth has been number one for the last couple of years and with Ken as well, and prior puff was number one for a couple of years. So I think it’s a bit premature to be deciding something like that when Fox has barely just done it
