I don't get these haters. Yes hbox' style isn't all flashy, but it's still way, way better than anything i have seen in smash 4/brawl for example.
That final we just saw was incredibly tense and clutch, no matter who wins that doesn't change

a lot of this has nothing to do with Hboxs playstyle though. It's just this general irrational Hbox dislike in the community. If this was Mango playing Puff doing the exact same things Hbox did most of these kids wouldn't be posting about melee being dead...
That's just how I feel about it. Mango nation just being morons

The Hbox hate is perfectly grounded in reality, or was. He would replace amazing matchups with terrible ones. It was especially bad when Hbox gets matched up against Mew2king or something where you may as well not watch the set. If it's a choice between M2k vs Mango and M2k vs. Hbox, you can understand why people would be peeved to be given the latter.

But now I find Hbox vs. Armada/Mango/Leffen to be suuper entertaining. Not sure if the matchup's changed over time or if I've just learned to appreciate it. And of course this last finals set was one of the greatest of all time.

I'm at this weird place where I hate watching him play and always root against him, but I also like to see how excited he is after a win. I feel similarly about watching Armada so I was complaining the whole set, but c'est la vie.

It's still better than Smash 4 by a longshot but that isn't saying much.

After watching all the fighting games at evo i (still) have to say that melee is BY FAR the best spectator sport of all of them.
SFV seems decent though.

This tourney feels so pointless without Leffen, I didn't even watch it and the result I was scared off indeed happened: Hbox wins.
Plus Plup finally delivers, dunno if it was with Fox mainly or not (can't find a wiki with the bracket unfortunately) but Gods sure are things of the past in Melee.

I guess PP didn't participate?

Plup did it with sheik ^^ and the finals was really close and exciting, you should definitely catch the vods.
afaik PP had a bit of a regression because he pushed too hard when he started feeling well :/

Even if you dislike Hbox and Armada you should definitely check the GF out. Possibly one of the best Finals ever. 10 games. Storylines. Multiple sick clutches. It's a treat.

the difference how mango and armada are playing with fox are day and night. mango played like melee attacker while armada more like a ranged one.

great matches, so close.. sad for armada and plup and mango though..
man i always watch the hbox matches with a sad smile.. rooting against hbox breaks my liquidheart, but i dont realy enjoy the puff matches.. they are exciting for sure, but the playstyle of trading 1 or 2 hits aganist puff is so exhausting to watch.. i always pity the players who have to go through all this hell and then get rested on their last stock due to messing up the di once.

makes it realy hard for me to cheer for hbox :/

gratz anyway, realy well played and well deserved. not without reason the only puff anywhere close to top 8.
He came like the wind, like the wind touched everyhing, and like the wind was gone.

I didn't find it on the mobile version.
I don't dislike Armada haha, I don't even dislike Hbox (Puff is one of my best secondaries and I like playing it) it's just that we have seen these match ups so much already and I prefer Fox winning because it's the hardest character mechanically and possibly the flashiest. I just like the Leffen story and having him make the tourney feel more spicy.
I'll catch the vods, Melee is probably the best esports for spectators there has ever been.

Bo3 is still bad in melee but I guess since nobody got upset looking at the bracket it's fine for this time. (Mango vs Plup maybe?).

Having a captain falcon only in the top 6 sure is interesting, beating Westballz :o.
That's too bad for PP :/ him upsetting (having a good placing, since he is not expected to do well anymore) would have been great.

Yeah same here HBOX seems like a really nice guy, but puff is pretty meh to watch, making it hard to root for him
It's kinda like [A] in dota.

Great final though, Congratulations to HBOX!
low gravity, yes-yes!
