He picked a character and playstyle to counter Hbox, forcing the camping. I don't think Hbox would argue if Armada went Peach, and the matches wouldn't have been as long/boring. However, with the amount of prize money on the line, more power to the player to win however they want. You can't blame anyone for that. Think about every tournament in the past few years that have been anti-climatic or unhype. What's the common link (lol not the young one)? It's hungrybox. I'm not upset they both played to win. The fact that Armada developed a Young Link to counterpick Hbox specifically because he couldn't win the Peach matchup showed just how good he is. The fact is, though, every game Hungrybox plays is bad as a spectator and kills Melee a little bit more. It's not necessarily his fault, but it's true. | ||

But, yeah, I have to say, smash players and spectators still have little concept of play to win (outside the tip top). I watch the apex stream and a falco phantasms off the edge and the Marth player duly jumps off with him. I mean wtf? The top players all play incredibly gay styles that simply don't let you approach but unfortunately, a lot of the community don't get it. That's why people hate watching hbox. I think if Grand Finals involved any other pairing of Top 8 players "playing to win", it would be much better, spectating-wise. Everyone plays "gay" to some degree, but if it's Jigglypuff it just isn't fun to watch, which is why I don't really want to blame Hbox too much. | ||
