if you were to go back to 2018-19 and tell someone that Hungrybox would someday not only lose to a DK, but get 3-0’d by one, they would probably laugh at the notion. so crazy to see the modern meta keep progressing, Akir is so nuts
Akir was literally mad on stream that hbox was playing so bad it felt like he mightve been sand bagging. offline not streaming hbox almost 100 percent wins.
Haha if hbox was playing to win he would only go for bair and maybe uair->rest at the side, since pound and everything else is mad punishable. I don't see any rest out of shield or spot dodge. Mad props for DK though, Hbox figured out how to make money with subs O_o.
I just absolutely love the aesthetic for this mod. Just imagine if Sakurai had more time creating Melee. I hope he looks at all the mods out there and is smiling at y'all's dedication to keeping a 22+ year old game alive.
@@sterling_x9 bro probably just thinks damn i put my blood sweat and tears in this game and it's still alive... u guys are bad maniacs. i like to theorize that sakurai is amsa's sensei so that he can represent japan in the scene and secretly shared some top tier yoshi meta stuff to amsa bc Sakurai must know some back door cheat codes to outwin the meta for the infinity of time./..., combined with amsa's skill to win those 3 majors back to back. Hooray for the existence of Melee!
@@theInstituterou need to read up on the actual history of nintendo and the melee scene then… nintendo has tried in every possible to destroy the melee competitive scene :,(
The Donkey Kong player was reading HBox's moves very well and grabbed and upthrowed when given the chance and also jumped in the air and back kicked very quickly and in repetition...HBox struggled to overtake. Maybe HBox held back a bit...seems like Akir was just the better player...although this is also an online match though...not an in-person one.
Players like this are proving that although tier lists are relevant in that some characters are more limited overall than others, you are not entitled or privileged to not lose to someone using a low tier, especially against a character like DK who hits like a truck. I think many players could still learn to respect that even the “bad” characters have some stuff they can get you with if you give them that opening.
Long story short, DK actually isn’t horrible. He’s got huge downsides but enough spice to actually hold his own. He’s definitely still a lower mid tier, but debatably viable is a huge improvement
The meta has advanced even more towards strong punish. The best don’t drop stuff like they did in 2018. DK was labbed out and has surprisingly good punish
@@JLedSnap DK's meta has only just started to be really experimented with- so it's not a huge stretch to imagine HBox might be caught off-guard by the character, since they're so rarely used
Idk probably just to give akir some extra props, I don’t know the guy but I do know hbox isnt just a competitor anymore, he makes content and manages an org, and shills bitcoin… or he could be tired (>_>) idk why I ain’t him
@@adomomcjinkies4787in my opinion hbox kinda threw. DK has been on the rise lately, but hbox seemed to just walk into so many attacks from DK. My theory is hbox was worried that it would look like he was timer stalling if he played less aggressively so he decided to play in a style that didn't fit the match up and lost because of that.
Lbox getting slapped by a DK 💀just retire bro. His chat full of 11 yr old Ultimate players trying to cope by making excuses as if they know anything about this matchup just makes it that much better
man bullshits one set and all the sudden hes 'carried', im not a huge hbox fan but ur talking too much shit, he could probably 4 stock you with bowser bro
@@Alph4Falc0 No, there is a setup for it but I don't know the specifics of it. Hbox started implementing it on foxes a few years ago but idk how it works on any other character.
drill rest has a huge chance of not working, and even if it works the enemy will punish you anyway. Don't worry there is still nair edgecancel->rest, uair->rest, fair->rest, utilt->rest, spotdodge->rest, uthrow -> rest
@hidden2913 In Melee, Puff drill has an animation at the end of it that when the opponent is hit by it, the character will spin in place and can't do anything. The "drill rest" happens only when that spin happens, cause they're in a lot of hitstun, then the combo from there is drill, dash, jump, rest.
You guys, DK aint the easiest matchup in the world for Jiggs. DK's bair contests Jiggs really well. Jiggs doesn't have the shield capacity to endure DK's bair into upB setup. Let's see you guys pick Jigglypuff and watch what happens for shielding DK's attacks for too long. (And that ain't much time) 🤨
Only hbox twitch chat can confidently talk about how tough this matchup is for Jiggs. Truly a cesspool of a place
truly knowledgeable people
YES lmfao
His chat is 12 yo ult players
i agree its silly but with good players, any character can be a tough matchup (mostly)
I thought Hbox having fans was a meme. Must be all kids. Can't imagine anyone over the age of 18 being a fan of him.

Hungrybox stopped practicing... I think he knows that from now on his reaction time will go down so he is not taking the game seriously maybe.

Akir is crazy good
Massive Akir dub and Joshman comms? Lets go
take a shot everytime hungrybox takes his hand off the controller mid game for no reason
Tbh idk why Hbox does not upload these. TY for the upload
Cause he lost… jk I’m not sure the real reason
Uploading whole tournies and matches a la VGBC kills you in the algorithm. Also he did lose lmao
@@rafacastillo9611hbox needs to make a separate channel for these vods
After what happened at GOML X, i'm no longer questioning about this match and besides, we all know Hungrybox only plays with 1 arm online.

DK renaissance
Akir was not happy
Way to go Akir, nice DK bud!
Why do the graphics look different compared to usual Melee graphics?
Donkey Kong is my favourite 🙂
Akir’s video was funny lol
He was so mad lmao
Wow. That’s pretty cool.
What is the mod hungrybox have?
Animelee

ive barely played or watched melee in years, whats with all these dk's doing well??

Top DKs across the world came together and have been labbing him out. Someone made a whole doc about it, good watch.
Damn homie wasn't even trying to win
Punks revenge
dude wtf. Who is this guy? Dk is on the map again!
these fucking pounds LMAO
Has HBox actually played a well-known DK before this? Seems like either an off-day or MU inexperience. Even Akir wasn’t happy with how HBox played
He beat the akir kong last year
It's DK.
He has played Jigglypuff vs DK more than anyone else in the world lol.

Definitely modded, there's suppose to be 5 characters in this game lol but seriously who is this DK and why are they kicking hbox's ass???
It's akir from FL marth and dk main, I think he also plays doc sometimes and in this tourney played shiek against aklos link. Which is also a good set
@mlalbaitero Florida that literally explains everything.

Why does Hbox suck so bad now? Or is everyone else so good?
He got really used to not having to try at all
wdym Hbox sucks he gets top 8 at every major he attends lol and hasnt dropped a single set to Jmook
He sucks online
Everyone kind of agrees online hbox is a hack, don’t take this set too seriously

Yeah, I do not like the Cell shade mod.
That was abusive, ive never seen Hbox struggle like that before. This DK uprising could dethrone him.
