The Story of Leffen: The God Slayer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 ноя 2018
- Leffen went from villain to validated. His skill improved and improved until he did the impossible. And after doing that, he still wanted more. He still went further. He’s Melee’s first Evo champion that’s not one of the five gods. He’s more than just the god slayer, he’s the next generation.
This is his story.

Leffen had the same character development as Vegeta
Smash_Senpai lmao that killed me. Imagine him seeing a fox player going insane and then saying its over 9000
lmaoo
"Trunks, Bulma...I do this for you. And yes, even you Armada"
Give vegeta a meaningful win :(
I know right.
the best part about melee.. that huge stadium, all those people, and one small, old, dusty ass CRT TV lmao xD
Lol
@bullara bruh they know why it’s a CRT, it’s just funny having so many people watching one.
@buliara and the input lag
I think it's pretty big, I mean big enough. Especially for playing it at that distance. The thing I find most ridiculous is that it is dusty and looks so out of place.
Re: they mostly play Melee on the Wii though
Leffen: the living incarnation of Gary Oak.
Daaamn your not wrong
Yeah but leffen is more like able he’s an anti Hero and I love it also he keeps it real which is something every community needs someone who just says what they think and others just have to respect it... there’s no real melee top player I dislike because they all either seem nice or I have met them and they have actually been nice
Vegeta
lmao too accurate
Ash is a loser.
when someone gets banned from eu tournaments for being too toxic u know he's actually toxic
Leffen is the best representation of the Meele fandom, Especially The Meele elitist. He is totally skilled as hell, He is 100% skilled and I respect it, But he is just super rude, arrogant, and egotistical
Chronicle Zombie yeah man, I used to hate hungrybox (admittedly because I went with the crowd) but after some time I started paying more attention to the way he acts and he’s chill af... pretty much the same for leffen but the other way around lol
EU is the most toxic out of any region I think it’s funny when they try to talk shit though cuz it’s the most basic insults I’ve ever heard.
rec0il HD because of Europe just having one dude who is toxic one dude while America has hundreds
NVK’ed I’m totally new to the scene and when I discovered the Hungrybox lynch mob I was pretty confused, he’s such a nice guy

Chillen's "my b" never ceases to make me laugh. Congrats again to elongated leff for his evo win, sucks Armada retired and will never get his threevo, unless.... He comes out of retirement in the future.
If he doesn't stick to Smash Ultimate, he might come back.
Armada can stay retired. He is part of a bigger problem in Melee now. I call it the salty god rea where they can no longer win besides Hbox so he quits and talks mad shit about puff at every moment. Like his re stream of Summit 7 was nothing but excuse for why puff is winning
Derek Lewis What you are saying makes no sense, Armada retired winning Super Smash Con 2018 and in his last set he destroyed Hbox 3-0 and ended the year with a dominant 5-1 record over him (33-19 lifetime in favor of Armada), Armada has won every super major ever at least once and has a positive record on every person that has ever been ranked Top 10. Also there’s nothing wrong with complaining about Puff, it’s Armada’s opinión and Hbox also talks shit about Fox, in fact everyone complains about characters all the time, it’s normal.
@@Ale_LSH I am with you, but Armada has a losing record to Leffen and Swedish(0-1, not a huge deal, but it's still a losing record)
Bigevilshark I meant lifetime positive record against every Top 10 player ever, not counting only this year but I can see that my wording was a bit confusing :d
Besides Leffen's bluntness another thing that makes him unique is his shiny nose
hes not unique
And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows.
Ok laden
he can cook an egg on that thing
Typical smash player hygiene

Leffen, the guy who went from hated to even more hated.
I kinda wonder how long it took you guys to make this kind of video (from researching, making script, editing and polishing)
because if you planned this from when he won EVO, that’s a hell lot of time
I really appreciate the effort and understand why it’s hard to satisfy all request from the comments
keep up the great work guys
A while. :^)
AshuraGameTime they did not take any time researching at all. They ripped another video off
poboy fresh show me then
@@pob-4810 Hey man, just wanted to chime in here. I'm the writer of this, and, I'm being honest here, I have not watched another video (aside from the Red Bull and TSM docs) about Leffen's history. Like AshuraGameTime thought, we put a ton of time and effort into this video. It's built off of several interviews I've done with Leffen over the last three years, along with tons of research from myself and the spectacular editor who worked on this video. We worked really hard on this, so I hope you can take another look and see that. Thanks for watching!
Thanks dude, appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Leffen, the guy who went from hated to hero.
My friend still hates him LUL
Funny since his last name means Hero is Swedish

When leffen won at 24:43 the dude giving him the reward was so genuine and happy, i love it
That was me, I was the main TO and Leffen had just completed an amazing comeback in Grand Finals, winning 6 games in a row. It was also the first major tournament I successfully hosted so I felt pretty happy.
MrKingFunk that sounds pretty cool dude, nice 👍
@@MrKingFunk It actually was too loool
I love how Armada is just standing there, smiling slightly, watching Leffen soak it in after he wins EVO. I wonder if he's empathizing or wishing he could feel that first time again. I bet either way Armada is also feeling then at least a little proud of how far Leffen has come.
Looks pretty bitter to me.
armada was a victim of leffen lmao
Yeah not quite

SIMIFU well last evo for melee
For now at least
@@codysterling9974 If you've watched this past summit...no I'm not gonna spoil it, go and watch the commentators.
SIMIFU I know who won
I didn’t really see how he played but know how he placed
But did they say evo is coming back?
Also the set with hbox and zain, omg. It was amazing
Also I could be wrong, but the way hbox plays is “weird”. I feel like he always plays at a certain “level”. And if you are going to beat him, you have to be playing amazing.
Like the $1000 mm between leffen and sfat, no one played well. Meaning hbox floor and ceiling aren’t that different. Meanwhile most fox/falco/etc, the floor and ceilings can be separated by a decent amount.
It’s a testament of how good hbox is.
@@SIMIFU I will-a win-a evo
I saw a video way back, showing Leffen as the villain. Years ago. Now I don't really follow esports at all, or video game news at all for that matter. But this video popped up in my youtube. I remembered the name Leffen so I decided to give it a watch. What a nice conclusion to the story. Leffen looks like a good kid, it's nice to see him win. Cheers
Jon Bear He’s gotten a lot nicer. He sometimes still says stuff that’s not necessary tho
@@matrix1760 Alot of esports players are incredibly toxic and rude. Its not a good thing.
Nintendo GangStar Say what you want about my generation but my parents did their damn hardest to make me and my siblings strong and kind people. I can’t speak for everyone but raising a kid is difficult and terrifying. They only want the best for their kids and that makes it hard to see the value in punishing them. So again, I’m not here to defend my generation. I will defend myself and people close to me but I can’t judge millions of people I don’t know. But I can defend the parents who honestly try to make their child happy and healthy.
Leffen is not by any means a bad guy.
He is not at all a nice guy either.
He’s a villain, but not take over the world villain. More like laugh at the good guys from the top villain.
He’s Gary Oak. Pretty much.
@Nintendo GangStar
So what you're saying is that you want to whoop kid's asses and are disappointed that the government has started a program to prevent you from doing this.

Beating the guy who betrayed him multiple times must of felt good.
Chillin is not bad, but the guy is past his prime, I did not think he should of been on a pro team when leffin was not.
Being in a pro team is not only about how well you play. While it certainly is the main factor, teams are reluctant to take in players with a lot of controversy. It's a business, essentially.
Yeah I can't think why someone wouldn't want Leffen representing their products lmao.
And being a signed pro player actually has a lot to do with how many audience members a pro player has as a streamer
The streaming meta is kind of dominating the pro scene of the Melee community
That's a sentence...
Armada didn't betray him
This video effectively boosted Leffens already unapologetically massive ego
idc i love leffen. Man deserves everything that comes his way, and i mean EVERYTHING LMAO
If you actually listen to Leffen's recent critics/trash talk, he has never said anything that is untruthful. He may come out as an asshole but he is just too honest with himself. If people can't take the heat, they shouldn't whine.
Jordan Genov Not tryna take sides, leffen is a great player and everything but it’s not whether or not people can take the heat or not . It’s not the fact that he’s being honest. It’s something called being humble, a characteristic that leffen does not have.
@@tigerselene3321 If I see leffen being humble or modest even for a second id sooner think he is being sarcastic. Its generally not about being humble, leffen just cant not state whats on his mind, its mostly lack of care of what people think of him and from my personal perspective coming out as humble at this point would be extremely hypocritical so its painfully obvious he doesn't have that social skill...
he doesnt watch videos of himself.
SFAT beat Leffen in Genesis 2.
Leffen is 8-0 on SFAT in 2018, 7 years later. What a difference time can make.
I keep thinking your content has peaked and won't get any better but you prove me wrong every time god damn
14:20 “Leffen isn’t necessarily a bad person, he’s just blunt and says what’s on his mind” that is the most BS statement I’ve ever heard. The vid immediately shows why people hate him and the shit he says to other people. Not one person on this planet that isn’t an asshole, says mean and morally wrong things to others. Leffen maybe a top competitor, but you should never be like that at the top, EVER.
Probably the best part of Leffen winning EVO in 2018 is that it was his last chance since Melee would no longer be part of EVO going forward

@@gonzo_o_o God 2017 fucking suuuucked. Every finals was Hbox vs Armada except for the 3 supermajors which were all terrible Melee and/or blowouts. To think Chu Dat was in the top 10 for a while too...
@@jamiecal11 I actually think 2016 was the year where we just had wayyy too much Hbox/Armada finals, and in 2017 we were still shellshocked from that. But I agree that 2017 was way too lopsided - Armada pretty much dominated the first half of the year and then Hbox took over in the second half (though Armada finally losing did make Royal Flush one of the best grand finals of all time IMO). At least in 2018 we've had a lot of surprises but I still wanna see the top players shake Hbox from #1 next year. Pls no Puff in grands at literally all but three majors like in 2018...

fabian vogel what about swag from csgo he threw a game when he was just a kid and got banned for life

After watching these Melee profile videos, I've come to the conclusion that these dudes are straight up Mortal Kombat characters.
*Armada is Raiden: Experienced, wise, and humble.*
*Mango is Liu Kang: Destined to be the winner of every tournament.*
*Leffen is Kung Lao: Every bit as good as Liu Kang, but blocked by his own pride.*
*HungryBox is Scorpion: A man fueled by passion looking to avenge the loss of his Puff.*
*M2K is Sub-Zero: Cold as fuck and doesn't play games.*
Leffen can’t be Kung Lao because he eventually defeated mango
Leffen is shao khan the God (raiden) killer
Ayo what kinda 2007 convo is this
When you said that Leffen was the first person to win EVO who wasn't one of the five gods, that really blew my mind. Amazing mini documentary as usual.
also the last

The Story of Leffen: The Suicide Instigator
Who's suicide did he instigate? 🤔
@@gatofury2000 Zero's, for anyone vaguely familiar with the story. He was the most outspoken proponent of Zero's crimes and was the largest contributor to Jisu's witchhunt for Zero. Because of the Twitter backlash and the fact that Zero himself, suffering already from severe anxiety issues and depression, felt that there was no room for him to actually contradict the accusations. After struggling for months, he almost succeeded in taking his own life in March the year after the accusations were levied against him.
Mind you, this was all occuring while legitimate PDF's and other heinous and vile people that several were aware of, continued to be active in the smash community.
@@oliversotir3914 Hear me out. I've NEVER seen or heard the leffen accusations against ZeRo. i've ONLY HEARD people referencing ZeRo being a victim of the accusations. Meaning you're actually shedding MORE light on ZeRos situation by talking about Leffens opinion of it.
Now that ive done my own research ive concluded ZeRo is guilty.
Love the smash content! More please!

You hear his tale of how he is an egotistical villain.
You hear the things he says. You see the type of person he is. He has truly been a rude crude dude.
But really look at him. Look at how human he is when he wins and loses.
Look at how he is at Evo. He claims to be a god, he claims that he will win at EVO.
When he finally reaches that point, when he finally wins Evo, he basically broke into tears, stood proudly, in front of millions, with his hands cusped, humbled and polite.
The truth is, it was always a bluff. He was an underdog. Everyone knew this.
All in all, I wouldn’t define Leffen as a god slayer. He is more like Hercules. He is a young man who was born of the gods and longed to sit next to them as equals. Against all odds, he went from zero to Hero. Leffen, the Hero.
“Leffen the hero”. Now he wants to ban hero lmao

I'm hooked on pro Smash lore all of a sudden. Great video, very well produced.
Don’t even watch smash. Your execution is just so good. It makes a game I don’t care about super compelling.
@Al Capawn
No, it really shouldn't. That'd just defeat the entire point of Smash and take away part of what makes it stand out. Smash isn't "every other fighting game", and it by no means should attempt to change that. Due to how Smash is set up, even if your opponent is way behind, that doesn't mean you can just relax and figure you've already won. The fact that you CAN beat an opponent who's at 80% when you're at 157% is what makes Smash exciting. You can't predict the outcome just by looking at the current situation, because the way things look one moment can go the complete opposite direction not even five seconds later.
If you want "equal damage", go ahead and play on Stamina mode and see for yourself just how compatible Smash is with what works in "every other fighting game".
I misread the title as "The story of Leffen: The Goblin Slayer"
I love this series so much, you can tell how much effort you all put into it, keep it up!
Leffens hair is always changing lol
It goes through ages just like melee
Armada owed Leffen no loyalty, it was business. Toxic behavior is bad for business and toxic behavior was Leffen's regular state of being, Leffen was bad for business. I'm glad he cleaned his act up. I think it's an incredible lesson for young people that they see someone at such a high level be punished for bad behavior that denigrates the community. It's important that young people learn that bad behavior will not be tolerated in a professional business setting.
I don't think he cleaned up anything though. It's still happening.

17:17 5th at heir 2 while using yoshi and marth so it isn't really a "bad placing"
Wellll... Leffen's a pretty ambitious dude.
Not a bad placing per se but he didn't do well at that tournament. He lost in Winners to Eikelmann of all people and then lost in losers to Android back when he was fringe top 10 in EU. Even playing Marth that was a disappointing performance.
this better involve DBFZ

@J_samoth TT which game are you talking about?
This is one of those few good videos that i've seen in a while. It really brought tears to my eyes in the end.
That Leffen vs Go1 match is simply amazing. I watch it like once every month, is so good, and Yipes screaming makes it even better. That might be the best DBFZ match I've ever seen.

I do like trashtalk, it is what gives these games that extra umph.
More power to Leffen.
trash talk is one thing, he would actively ostracise people in his local scene and bully new players. he seems better now but it was more than trash talking going on there.
@@chrisjones1577 Yeah, he thinks it could've been handled better, but it's hard to care about a guy that goes too far with newer players and he should own up to that.
It wasn't trash talk, he was just an a-hole.
Rose Luck does he get even more power for having a embarassing weakness to samus mains?
It really does. It makes it feel like there are heroes and villians. Like sports teams going at it. Of course you have "your team" but you also have that enemy team that has players who are douche bags and you just want them to lose.
16:20 "hungrybox feels like leffen is an asshole" this is the most legit documentary ever
Please make these 1 hour long! These mini doc's are amazing!
Great video! Really interesting content, and well executed
3:44 And then Leffen met Tekken... which is why he made a bunch of bs to say Tekken was too complex (in reality, not more than many other games/sports). He tried to say he can't absorb all the knowledge (there are games with way more knowledge required, so he's lying). The knowledge aspect is just the unofficial tutorial of tekken. The skills part comes after. He realized Tekken was the game where he can't touch the top 1%, so he "respectfully" made a bunch of bs excuses to say the game was not beginner friendly and ran from it. Hopefully, he keeps trying though. His expectation for Tekken was too unrealistic and he thought he could become top player just like any other fighting game. He should give it more time.
Nah, let him come up with more BS excuses then eventually quit.

after one of the greatest runs we've ever seen AND winning EVO 2018 and slaying all of the gods multiple time, i can say with confidence that Leffen is one of the gods.
Watching this after the recent scandals coming to light in smash and seeing Leffen's video discussing it. He has gone through so many character defining moments and grown. It's interesting to see how although he was hated and though he challenged the smash realm, he has never once betrayed it. An anti-hero, a hero, and a pillar all in one.
Hahahahah 🤣
After his endeavors, Leffen moved on to push for the cyberization of lin kuei.
I love this character Arc. The outsider determined to make the heroes remember they are mortal.
That GO1 vs Leffen match is still one of my favorite fgc matches, next to when SonicFox Roflcopter'ed Perfect Legend, and when Poongko demolished Daigo
Concluding Leffen's story with his match against Armada to finally get his Evo win was amazing. All the history between those two, the way it was portrayed was so well done. That moment gave me chills, this series is golden.
This took years of research
Loved this video!
It is a good video for having an overview on all the bad things he did and especially why. The suicidal thoughts and depression must have been the biggest influence in his life, causing that bad attitude. I can understand that as a person that was depressive as well in the past and although he still is cocky, I can accept his past and like him nowadays.
And what a great role of being the villain, such a nice addition to the melee anime in the end. He really is a legend by himself.

Mad respect for Leffen, one of the few guys in history to talk shit when not being on top, only to get to the top and follow up on his shit talking. rep
I've liked Leffen ever since he was the villain. He was too good of a villain for me to hate him. Even back then, whether you liked him or hated him, when Leffen plays it's always a must-see match. I love the excitement that follows him, I think he's part of what keeps the game alive.
