Mang0's Summit 11 run changed my life
Same, brings a tear to my eye every time!
Overhyped
Agreed. Absolutely amazing
Same
Mango's Summit 11 run was the best losers run we get. Everyone played fantastically, the tourney was insanely stacked, and Mang0 was sent SO early in losers. This was and will be the peak of melee for years to come.
Been watching melee for a while and nothing tops this. I was screaming the whole time
Toph is one of the most well articulated kind folks and has some of the best stories to go along with being such a legendary orator.
and such a good ambassador for the scene. we are lucky to have him.
fr his oral skills are outstanding
Melee community is the best. What esport has better casters? Cmon I mean Toph, scar, HMW, lovage, webs, blur, wobbles, DJ, chillin, and the list goes on and on
We're truly blessed that one of our best hardest-working commentators can so fluidly integrate the history of the game into commentary and just in general. One of the reasons the scene is still alive is because of narratives and personalities and how strongly they are presented in commentary
@@rat4992 Now if only there was some way to get more Ult casters in the scene
Chillin/Coney sounds so fucking funny, and that's only 1/2 of a couch
The potential is unreal
Love when pp and toph talk about early historical tournaments
kay
I would love to see them commentate an entire old tournament to give context to them. I know the vods are out there but because some of them have really poor or nonexistent commentary and I don't know the stories behind them they're not interesting to watch, but seeing someone recommentate old vods would be amazing
@@AlexRoseGames one for the history books.
This would’ve been a great one to have HMW on
For real. HMW was there for so many of them.
UNPLUG YA CONTROLLER DAWG

It brings me a special kind of joy to see PC's 0C3 run talked about so fondly in 2023.
MLG, post-MLG and Brawl era Melee really hits diff.
Yes i agree
A note about 0C3 is that it used MLG rules for second sets. M2K beat PC 2-1. MLG rules states that if two players meet in bracket twice, if the first set was a Best of 3 and second set is a Best of 5, the score from Set 1 is carried over into the second set, and it become a Best of 9. Then in PC won the set in Grands on Game 6, beating him in just that set 4-2, beating him overall 5-4 in that Best of 9, and if PC dropped Game 5 or 6, M2K beats him 3-2 or 3-3. So PC didn't beat M2K twice, because of the MLG rules that this tournament used, but he did win a set in which he had to win one more game than M2K did to win the tournament
Underrated runs are Leffen at Smash’n’splash 3, and also M2K at UGC. neither of them won but they both won about 10 sets in loser’s AND each reset the bracket in grand finals
I am so glad Leffen didnt win that
For losers runs that didn’t finish, Genesis 3 comes to mind of course, but also Armada at Evo 2018 was one that would have been top 3 if he won the tournament. Beat Gahtzu, M2K, a Zain that was already a top 8 seed, S2J, Mango, Plup, Hbox
Leff was too big that day
@@Joadchoad I agree but tbf armada only won 7 sets in the loser’s bracket and DID NOT reset the bracket. He did defeat really good opponents though
EDIT: grammar
I lowkey think leffen at SNS 3 would have been top 4 under the mango runs, possibly over Evo 2013. That run was absolutely insane and if he beat hbox at the height of his powers like that, it was pretty legendary. My fav leffen run besides goml
@@electromagneticlemon yep you’re exactly right
"Everyone loves it the longer they are, right?"
- n0ne
PP's reaction was so funny 😂😂
n0ne's logic is truly next level.
I think another run that could have been on the list was LTC 2019 where Hbox won 12 straight sets after losing to Albert sort of the magnum opus of his strenght to win from losers like Summit 11 for mang0.
Didn't have every top 10 member on the kill count but still a very impressive run that sort of got forgotten.
"He's crouch-cancelling! He's crouch-cancelling, and then he tanks it!" LMAO
The best recent loser runs that almost were:
- DontTestMe at East Park Rollback: After "losing" his first match against ZeldaFool, he beat Blues Clues, NOOT, Aklo, Tai, Kuyashi, Bones, Magi, KJH, Albert, Ginger and Axe's Young Link before falling to his Pikachu.
- moky at The Function 2: After losing to Jflex he beat eve, Brad, Foxy Grandpa, iBDW, Skerzo, Zamu, Pipsqueak and SluG only to be defeated by Ginger in Grand Final.
Lmao that DontTestMe run is the darkest day in Falco Nation history.
15:09 is incredible editing timing for the "yay" lmao
Plup at The Big House 8 had a really nice losers run.
He didn't win the tournament though, got 2nd to Hbox, but he was in losers for a good while, it was pretty impressive.
Everything for lore about the scene makes me so happy. Being involved for 10 years now with the scene and still having more stories to be heard and more sets to be played at a crazy level... I love this stuff, man. Thank you guys
Abate is very good player. Invite him to the show
mang0s pressed start run needs an honorable mention
Probably my favorite
hbox's ltc7 is his best imo
🥭🥭🥭 time
"If Mang0 beat up the CEO of Nintendo, this would be number 1"
I'm dying lol
Really thought this episode was awesome. Great stuff!
The best part about most of The Pantheon videos is when there is talk about the old era since I also was not (internationally) competitive in Melee before 2012, love it. Especially getting context for tournaments is always interesting.
I really liked the teir list format better, less pressure to rank them in order as you go, just having to choose the best at the end
I agree
Actually I kinda prefer this format for the exact same reason lol
Never heard of that PC Chris tourney! Awesome to learn some history
Wish u guys would’ve included press start and low tier city 7, those runs were MONSTROUS
yessir
Press start was the first tournament I ever watched. Changed my life
Pantheon videos are my favorite!
So thankful for GG
n0ne has such a way with words, a true modern renaissance man
Yall GOTTA tell Toph to talk into the mic or up the audio compression on this or something. The volume is so inconsistent it goes from like inaudible to blowing up my ears. Sick content as usually, just like, audio stuff
Mango's run at Summit 11 still gets me emotional BUT i would have to give the #2 nod to his run at EVO 2013. Just think about how different the scene would be today if he didn't make that run
I have to give it to EVO 2013 since I was physically there. You can see me in a green shirt in the crowd in Grands
It's a shame this only includes runs that ended up winning the whole event. I think Armada's run at EVO 2018 might be the most underrated run, despite not winning. He was knocked into LOSERS ROUND 3 by Swedish Delight. He then proceeded to beat Gahtzu, Mew2King, Zain, S2J, Mango, Hungrybox, and then Plup before falling to Leffen in grands. Hell of a run.
Evo 2018 mad slept on. Never seen Armada lower than after losing to Swedish. People forget, but that run might be one of his most impressive runs despite not winning the tourney
Some good memories in here. Honestly 100% valid list.
love this channel
m2k @ugc was my favorite, even if he didn't win, he went at least even with everyone and beat every single top player who was at the tournament. Duck, to Mang0, to Ice, to n0ne, to Leffen, to Hbox, to Armada. If only his mentality didn't crumble in the bracket reset.
great to watch people that live and breathe melee talk about it, thanks gg
this is a nice video im surprised it wasnt recommended to me before now
"everyone loves it the longer they are" - n0ne
In the MLG days (pre 2010s), I believe Ken is the only player to have won a major from losers aside from PC Chris. (Evo 2007) Not a major, but Ken also won his first tournament against the east coast from losers as well (Game Over in 2004)
I am glad they hyped up PC Chris for n0ne. He was a really great player and I think even Falco mains now could learn a lot from watching his old games.
Wobbles: “Why’d you have to take a shot at my ICs?”
Damn this is some good content
Pre-2010s Melee is so funny nowadays just because there was a lot more stuff people were experimenting with. The meta was advancing way faster and people are just playing funnier than nowadays
Great video!!!
Not mentioning M2K at UGC or Armada at Evo 2028 as honorable mentions is criminal, BUT great list and g8 vid
Damn this man really telling us the future. Can’t wait to see Armada and EVO return to melee in a few years
To me it's more about the girth of the run
Low Tier City in 2019 with Hbox is Top 5
Dude loses to unranked Albert, proceeds to beat Morsecode, None, and Fiction to make Top 8. Goes on to beat S2J, squash Albert in their rematch, beat Mango, and knock out SFAT to make Grand Finals. Then he wins a grueling Game 10 set over Zain
Getting upset that hard by an unknown (BO5 no less, they didn't know it was BO3 and Albert still won) and maintaining focus/endurance that long in the modern era is crazy
The Press Start erasure is mind boggling, yet consistent
Not informed on this tourney. What happened?
@@joehilliard4486 mango got DQed into losers at the start of top 48, and then proceeded to beat jace, westballz, hax, leffen, shroomed, lucky, hbox, axe, and fly amanita, only dropping 3 games across all of those sets
On point Mang0 went crazy
I’m sorry. HOW is Hbox Low Tier City 7 not here. He lost to Albert and then won 11 straight sets. That’s a disgrace.
did he win that tournament? I remember seeing the newws on twitter and being completely shocked it wasn't even streamed!
@@spacevadr10 Yes. He beat Zain twice in a Game 10 Grand Finals.
The longer and harder the losers run, the more I enjoy it 😏
Yall should add chapters to the videos, especially pantheons
Surprised Mang0's run at press start didn't make the list. DQ'd in the first round and he beat Jace, Westballz, Hax, Leffen, Shroomed, Lucky, Hungrybox, Axe, and Fly Amanita twice.
"the longer they are, the longer it is."
y'all did hbox dirty by not mentioning his low tier city 7 run lol
Respect
Where's press start?
Summit 11 should’ve easily been number 1
I agree with n0ne about Summit 11 but I also wasn't around for Pound 3
biggest possible honorable mention: M2K at UGC, right?
4:41 he was literally just behind him idk
armada's summit 2 popoff almost looked like he wanted to punch hbox lol
The longer they are... The longer they are 😏🤔
god damn i love mang0
I'm surprised Ken's run at Gane Over wasn't in this list
bro gtx2017's ending was CRAZY
name a more flexible shoulder than PPMD's right shoulder
Yall didn't bring up Paragon Los Angeles 2015. I don't remember who he beat, but I remember it was a hype ass losers run
Mango at press start needs to be on here. My man got DQ'd from winners round 1 and proceeded to beat Jace, Westballz, Hax, Leffen, Shroomed, Lucky, Hbox, Axe, and Fly twice while going 30-3 in games. Arguably 6 top 10 players at the time, and he dumpstered them
Cactuars strongest form is HTC 2015 he went god mode
Did I miss Hungrybox’ low tide city run? Or wasn’t it included?
Anybody have the link to the 62bit hero video they reference?
ruclips.net/video/vJIkk3dJ6P0/видео.html
Mang0s career is a loser's run
(jk love you mang)
Press start tho
WHERE THE GG MELEE DISCORD AT HUH??
Thumbnail looks like toph died his hair green
There are impactful losers runs as far as melee history/storylines go and then there are losers runs where the wins are the most impressive.
Mango certainly has the most impactful losers runs on lock, but I think the most impressive losers run in terms of wins is Hungrybox at TBH7.
Hbox beat M2K, Armada, Leffen, Plup x 2 to win the tournament. Insane.
Not gonna lie, I think it’s kind of screwy to put GTX 2017 here to rank instead of Low Tier City 7, a much better loser run from Hbox than gtx2017. Just saying.
Where would you (person reading this) rank Low Tier City 7?
The longer they are, the longer they are.
hbox is laughing because of how similar the moment is to evo.
The Evo losers runs are less impressive since almost all the sets are best of 3
4 of the top 5 for mango, that's ya boi :')))
no low tier city 7?
*proceeds to mention brawl in the comments*
the longer they are the harder they fall
Now there is a new best
does big house 9 not count? not long enough?
Honestly GTX 2017 should have been replaced with Low Tier City 2019, if you're going to have 2 hbox losers runs on here.
More like--what's the second best loser's run of all time?
ace attorney ost lfg
Big house 9? Press start?
Gamer
The longer they are... thats gotta be 1st
What can I say man lol...Mang0 is THE Goat. Hbox and Armada right there and better than Mang0 at certain times too.
Wasn't EGLX Hbox's most impressive run of all time?
44
Yo
No hbox ltc7 is a big miss
I think Toph needs to stop lying we all know Borp jv5d him
whys he have so many muscle contractions in this video?
