This is one of the greatest melee sets of all time.

i love how theres so much tension at 4:05 that someone screams

4:05 the screams express how everyone in the crowd felt haha. Whoever that person was, I love you.

Half a million views, damn, I miss PPMD.

PPMD has to be my favorite melee player. The way he plays is just a sight to see. The man deals with health issues and depression and all these things and he can still show up after half a year of not and wreck house. Can't wait for him to return

RIP to whoever died at 3:06

10:20 is the fastest fast-fall wavedash ledge grab I've ever seen.

PPMD's Marth is a thing of beauty.

TrunksMD has seen 20XX in the future and travels back in time to put a stop to it.

Look at 4:57 when PPMD up-air's Leffen on the top platform. It looks as if the lightsaber item materializes for a frame or two and then disappears. That's crazy.

Pp with with the god tier product placement

How the hell does PPMD keep track of his own dash dance

I notice PPMD nods his head and has a "Thinker" moment right after he loses a stock. It's like he's acknowledging how he lost that stock and approving Leffen for the good play.

PPMD wasn’t just the best Melee player. He IS the best Melee player. Maybe not so much in a skill set anymore, but definitely in an admiration kind of way. I don’t care if he hasn’t attended a major tournament in roughly 2 years and hasn’t placed well in the recent Nationals he has gone to. When this man was on point, nobody was stopping him. Coming from a region with no competitive smash influence in that of North Carolina, to dealing with the emotional baggage of depression, suicidal thoughts, and disapproval of parents, and finally all his health concerns which have continually worsened, to be able to win this tournament in which nobody thought he could do it is a thing of beauty. You can see him struggling at times during this set with missing follow ups, and relatively poor punishments. This set was a super close 5 game set, and it could’ve easily gone to Leffen. But as a personification for PPMD’s life, dealing with all his struggles, he still prevailed. I hope one day this man can come back. The beautiful game of Melee needs its most beautiful player.

19:33 such an iconic cut of their handshake. PP's reaction. I love it.

Just watch PPMD's marth move at 10:19 So damn fast

Come back ppmd ;_;

Considering how much PPMD was going through, this is a story of such triumph.

I love it when the crowd goes "ey!" When marth does an up throw xD

In the audience somewhere, a bird is cheering for Leffen.

"showing my age" in smash is remembering 2006.

I will never get over Marth's death scream. It just always sounds funny. "WAAAAAAAAH!"

Anyone notice how PPMD's combos are so smooth and fast when using Marth compared to other players who plays him so mechanically. :O mah fave player

3:48 PPMD's reaction lol.

1:19 you can see PPMD plan his next combo.

Somehow i get the feeling PPMD is sponsored by Monster... I dunno.

I didn't know my dad was in the room with me while I was watching this and he basically heard me go, "PP, PP, PP, PP, PP, PP, PP" for 20 minutes.

Anyone else saw the post match interviews? Leffen was johnsing hard.

3:08 All this years later, and this is still one of the dirtiest Marth dairs ever.

I've watched this set so many times

I watch this like every 3 weeks.

this is probably one of my top 5 favorite sets i've ever watched in melee, period. amazing play from both players. i really do aspire for my fox to have the mobility of leffen's one day; it's always incredible to watch him play when he's really on. ppmd played fantastically, though, so props to him. can't wait to see more of his marth (and hopefully his falco) later this year

10:31 Never thought I'd hear a crowd chant "pp, pp, pp!"

Wow, what a great set to watch without volume!

I will never understand how people think it's necessary to overblow matches and call matches like this Leffen getting "rekt" by PPMD. Yes, he lost. But he lost 3-2. He put up a great fight and almost won even, last game last stock. It was a *great* match from *both* players. (And before I get responses about Leffen's trashtalk, I'm just talking about the match.)

Most watched melee set on KZfaq, also my favorite set of all time. We miss you pp

When it looked like two Swedes would come to the top and take the melee throne. A lone American from the south would come back from an early retirement to defend his nations honor. No one believed in him. But, silently he and his Marth would climb through the ranks defeating everyone in his path on his way back to the top. That man was PPMD, the tournament was APEX 2015. The movie writes itself. We miss you PP, and fondly remember the moments where you, with your unique style, were the best in the world!

I am convinced that this is THE greatest set of all time.

10:20 look closely, leffen just misses the edge.

Dang, PPMD is drawing in more viewers than mango vs hax from tbh4 (which is a set that started a well-known smash meme).

Leffen was actually extremely close to winning

18:23 Leffen: fuk mi dad-e PPMD: Just the tip baby

At 18:57 we have a splice that results in Toph saying "Sweden vs. the U-now." Glitch in the recording? A very poor attempt to censor?

This is AMAZING, I've played this since it's been out and poured years of work into this. Fox and Marth are my Favourite characters so it's pretty kool watching people using them on this level. #INTENSE

I come back to watch the set that got me into melee often.

I miss ppmd so much i wanna cry :'( more than that tho, his presence really completed tourneys like this. I sorely miss these super hype tournaments and sets

This was the greatest tourney of all time.

3:04 THAT SCREAM I CANT LMFAOOO

5 years later...

I still go back to watch this amazing set

this marth is so calculated

What a time this was 4 years ago. Our 5 Gods were active, Leffen was on the come up, villian (Leffen) vs Gods storyline, it was a great time.

Every changed when the PP nation attacked...

10:25 - Shoutout to that drawing of Marth sipping a goblet of wine while Fox facepalms

I love when KZfaq reccomends me classic sets

PP is the king, many forgot about him but I had confidence he was without a doubt a big favorite. I had it between him, Armada, and Mango, leaning more to Armada, but no doubt PP winning is no surprise

i still comeback sometimes to see this match, one of the best ever!

This is only one out of three Leffen vs. PPMD sets on KZfaq I could find

I been waiting forever for this match

10:35 (the guy on the left) When the Jehovah Witness comes knocking on your door

I dont know if the audio is different or something but the tipper sound in this video is music to my ears.

This was some of the most advanced neutral game ever.

shoutout to Toph on the solo commentary. very talented

Where was this play at Evo this year? Apex was so amazing and then I feel like Evo sort of fell short. Anyone else?

4 years ago, one of the greatest sets ever was played

Does anyone know what GimR uses to record this at such a high quality. 60fps too. I want to know so I can stream Melee like this.

I wonder if casual players come to videos like this and can visually see that the game is being played much faster than what they're used to.

Every time I watch a set where PPMD played really well, I am amazed that he ever lost to anyone. So talented in so many facets of the game.

apex was probably the most hype major this year

This is probably the 6th time I've watched this set. Just so good

I started to learn more about matchups with marth, i feel like this could be a good example

Time flies like an arrow... I miss PPMD.

coming back and watching these sets reminds me how close leffen was to being able to win this tournament.

Amazing set Melee is sick

This was such a great set!

3:48 wait for PP's Face xD

Can anyone explain me how does Rankings work on smashboards? I don't get it, I'm new on the site (but not in the smash community)

Great job pulling it out

this is still one of the best sets of all time

This was the greatest Melee tournament of all time.

this was just such a wholesome set

These are my favorite 2 commentators, they looking clean too

this game is insane, i'd love to see a game sorta like melee in terms of speed but with sm4sh's smoothness and character roster and balance. I'd kill for that.

*"Peepee's up on game five"* Well, mine definitely was

I love PPMD's reaction when he loses a stock. It gets me every time.

I love at 3:50 when pp does that deep-thinking pose with his hand on his chin hahaha

Came here after reading the manga source material. Pretty good OVA.

I love how PP always turns into a madman on his last stock.

Having only gotten into the scene recently (first tourney I watched live was Big House 4) I had seen the other gods but I had no idea what to expect to see from PPMD to compare to the others and as having Marth as one of my mains I was not disappointing. There was a lot of sick shit in there that I thought only M2K could do but after seeing this I have to add him to the list of favorite smashers along with M2K, HBox, Plup, and Kage. Congratulations on the best way to come out of temporary retirement ever.

Looking at this set in 2016, it's amazing to see how the average skill level just doubles every year in melee.

this is the greatest set of all time

what a legendary tournament all around

why does this set look so much better than any melee ive ever seen?

what version of melee is this the winners screen looks diffrent than mine.

2:13 Did he do a lagless getup to that platform in order to do the f smash so fast? Or was that just regular l-canceling?

Another victory robbed by that fuckin windmill. Never thought I'd be saying this outside of his Visa issues, but poor Leffen...

Damn these games were so close. I think the most dominant game was game 4 and even then it was just a JV2. Close ass games

This Apex has to go down as the best of all time. I just don't know what tops it.

10:30 PPMD holds the Monster bottle all the way up to his face to screw the cap back on, is that natural or was he just advertising?

I lie awake at night wishing this had gone different
