To clarify, when I mentioned PPMD being "annoying" it was more a word I used to describe how hard it is to play against him for me. It's fun playing vs him cause it challenges me so much but also annoying cause I have such a hard time to get in. I have 100% respect for his style and him as a player (often praised his Marth vs Peach especially). I feel like I often get missunderstood/not described correctly in commentary, not sure why tbh
+Adam “Armada” Lindgren You also jokingly said numerous times "I hate you" to Shroomed when you were playing against him on your stream because his recovery was so good. We understand what you mean when you say things like that, so don't worry Armada.
I think the truest testament to PPMD's skill-level is Armada's pop-off/reaction after winning. You have to be a truly menacing foe to illicit that kind of response from Armada.
What scares me is thar PPMD looked nowhere near the best of his potential, yet he still managed 5th at one of the largest tournaments in smash history. I can only imagine how well PP will do when he goes 100%.
Pretty scary. PPMD is nowhere near his peak performance (due to his health issues and his awful DI), and he almost sent the eventual Genesis 3 champion and #1 player in the world to Losers Quarters. PPMD will be Armada's kryptonite when he gets back to full health. Because his Fox really struggles against PP's Falco (and Mango's Falco). And then if his Marth can remain consistent (which it wasn't in this tourney), then Armada is really in trouble.
this is why armada has a peach. to avoid playing falco vs fox. but armada really needs to get up with his fox because 'peach is not viable' and 'will not survive in the meta'. and falco vs peach is considered falco favor, but basically every char over peach in the tier list has an advantage over her.
+RoyIsOurBoy_TTG PPMD is fucking amazing. Both him and Armada are complete idols to me. Would love to one day play with them and get wrecked in a match, while trying my best to avoid that result. I'd treasure it forever. [=
Green613 That was a completely different Armada though. And PP is currently struggling with Marth against his Fox, while his Marth was dominating at Apex. What PPMD needs to do is to get his Falco-Peach game back to how it was at point, because if he does that, then Armada is history. A Marth-Fox match would never happen again, as long as they start Falco vs Peach, and PP would win all the matchups: Falco>Peach, Marth>Peach, Falco>Fox.
RoyIsOurBoy_TTG That was also a completely different PP, and PP even says himself at every tourney he went to since Apex he hasn't felt even close to playing near good. Once PP polishes his game up he can definitely do it, we've seen him do it. Also he can do Marth-Fox, it's just whenever he plays against Armada it looks really bad for PP because Armada's always on point and PP has almost always been off point.
Man PP’s DI mix up at 12:47 is just savage (shine -> walk up fsmash instead of dair). Deleted armada’s stock at 70% from the opposite side of the stage
I missed this, PPMD on point is incredibly powerful and entertaining. His Falco can execute a lot of precision and punish into kills quicker than more technically-oriented Falcos such as Westballz, who can rack up damage, but don't kill as easily or space as precisely. It was beautiful to see PP play at this level again (also with Marth), he can definitely still contend in the top. I feel he is less consistent and sharp overall than Armada though, but he'll get there hopefully :).
see the thing about it is armada was playing at maybe 85 percent capacity for this tournament, messing up stuff left and right but he still clutched it out so hard. armada can mess up, you cannot mess up against him. to beat his 85 you have to play 95+
+Nate watson Well ppmd hasnt been at his peak for over a year. His health keeps him from being able to focus and practice. He admitted himself that at evo, he wouldve lost to leffen and mango if he saw them in bracket. PPMD is unpracticed right now and he still clutched it this far. I cant wait for his health to improve so he can get active again.
PP definitely did a lot fo really cool stuff both in this set and vs Mango, he just couldn't really keep up the pace for the entire set. He's definitely still capable of performing at the top level I think, just needs his health to improve so he can start playing more consistently again.
It's interesting how neither of them really defeated the other. Sure, Armada won, but they kinda had a stalemate the whole time. They each had 2 characters who beat 1 and lost to the other of the opponents. Would be interesting to see them play a set that lasted infinitely until one person won twice in a row, that way their counterpick would have been overcome.
You can tell that PPMD wasnt playing his best. Dude was dropping punishes and getup attacked like 5 times in a row. And even then he almost dumpstered armada game 4
Fucкing James Yeh getting a melee disc is impossible. Guess TO's or breaking the fabric of existence everytime they organize melee events with 100+ set ups with new and used copies of melee. :P
He had some problems with depression in the past, which I think he's now gotten over for the most part, and low testosterone, which has been affecting him for around 2 years now I believe. Pretty sure he wants to return by the summer

I understood being "annoying" in the fashion you intended. Respect.

What's scarier is that PPMD isn't even at full potential yet due to his current health issues, when he recovers you can be sure he'll be scary
Right?! Exactly what I was thinking. In winner semis no less! That looked like EVO 2015 grand finals pop off.
@@genjigrant795 HE'S BACK FOR GENESIS. I read your comment and got excited lmao

*anime glasses adjustment*

Armada vs PP is great fucking Melee

+Friendly_Fire He'll destroy everything like the APEX!!! :D
The god has returned my child
unfortunately, all we were able to was imagine.
"It to be stacked up in the upwards direction."
Sets like this make me love the game
Honestly, this was the most hype set. It was so damn close. The end had everyone dying
such an amazing set for PP

+RoyIsOurBoy_TTG PP has already proved that he IS absolutely the counter to Armada. Apex 2015.

The stock of gods. P P M D KREYGASM
+narutouzumakijoshua PPMD 2016 Combo Video.
The crowd roared behind every PP combo. Crowd mics are hype.
I come back only for game 2
When armade and ppmd fight, its a glorious display of two shining gods clashing in the heavens
Yall don't understand how hype I've been waiting for this. kreygasm.
Holy shit ppmd. You're maniacal
Man PP’s DI mix up at 12:47 is just savage (shine -> walk up fsmash instead of dair). Deleted armada’s stock at 70% from the opposite side of the stage
9:10 was soo sick by PPMD and after all that Armada manages to get out and with that genius second up B he gets a massive punish, such high level play
incredible set. ppmd is so much fun to watch. dat style is crispy.
Had to rewatch one of the many legendary sets

For about 10 seconds after 5:00 PPMD was playing perfect melee
9:06
someone in the crowd yelled "that's not safe"
see the thing about it is armada was playing at maybe 85 percent capacity for this tournament, messing up stuff left and right but he still clutched it out so hard. armada can mess up, you cannot mess up against him. to beat his 85 you have to play 95+

Hahah this was INSANE. We hope to see you soon PP!!
One of the best sets ever
PP definitely did a lot fo really cool stuff both in this set and vs Mango, he just couldn't really keep up the pace for the entire set. He's definitely still capable of performing at the top level I think, just needs his health to improve so he can start playing more consistently again.
why do i feel like if ppmd played consistently through this era he would be unstoppable
Because it's the truth.
The shortened side-b at the end to get the up smash follow. Wow.
that was a hell of a set. and popoff
I just want to just point out. He might not have the best tournament results, but Kevin is the best player in the world.
That second game. Holy crap.
Art.

You can tell that PPMD wasnt playing his best. Dude was dropping punishes and getup attacked like 5 times in a row. And even then he almost dumpstered armada game 4
No offense to smash 4. But you will never touch melee
How can video games touch each other?
Fucкing James By setting a physical copy of one video game on another. Duuuuh
Teddy Rose In that way yeah, Sm4sh can't touch Melee since getting a Melee disk is impossible
Fucкing James Yeh getting a melee disc is impossible. Guess TO's or breaking the fabric of existence everytime they organize melee events with 100+ set ups with new and used copies of melee. :P
Teddy Rose Those disks are all fake, they took some Melee faking ingredients and stacked em up
i love ppmd
You dont see gameplay like this anymore lol
3:20
Holy fuck 9:15 was fucking beautiful
Game 4 *BibleThump*
Hype popoff
Can anyone link me to PPMD's very hard run on all star?
No one can front on PPMD. My son spiked Armada with the side B.......BRUHHHH
Fucking plot armor
flaco intensifies
12:49 - Bruh.

How do you play each other on different TVs?

did ppmd quit i cant remember the last tournament he was in but this one
KidReverb he's taking a retirement rn, I don't know if he's coming back but I really hope he does 😪
He had some problems with depression in the past, which I think he's now gotten over for the most part, and low testosterone, which has been affecting him for around 2 years now I believe. Pretty sure he wants to return by the summer
