The ten year journey has come to an end - Hungrybox Congrats to Hungrybox on his amazing journey to his first Evo win! Song Antics - Moments / catalyst itunes.apple.c...
Living is Pain Yea, after he won Dreamhack 2015 he said "My dad just passed away -- it was my biological dad. I know it's personal stuff, but he told me you'll never be the best. You'll be good, but you'll never be the best. So, I hope he sees me now." in an interview. I assume thats the reason he pointed up right before being handed the trophy.
I’d like to think at 2:38 he was contemplating how he lost to Hbox, but after thinking about how much that win means to Hbox he went over there for the fist bump. These guys knew each other very well.
Yeah there's a lot of moments you can remember Armada for, but this moment of humility in his defeat cements him as one of the most legendary smash players.
2:28 that is a true man. Willing to cry and fall to the floor in tears of joy after putting his life into something. Good on you hungerybox. Good on you
Man rewatching that gives me goosebumps every time. I remember watching live with a friend when Hbox was down 2 stocks before the reset, thinking "Well this is it, good hustle but Armada is just too good" and then all I remember was Pandemonium. It was so fucking hype.
Yeah, Hbox has become so aggro and no one can play Puff like him and at that level. Anyone who tries to say that Puff is a gimme character has to realize - no one else places high like Hbox with the character.
yea its hilarious that people say "he isnt as good at the game and wins with gimmicks" like its unreal that people think that. They act like anyone can pick up puff and start winning tournaments
I agree. I doubt top players will ever be truly content with anything but first, but I think in 2013, people were still euphoric just being at being at such a big tournament. Now, the feeling of being in tournaments, even Evo, is like... something they must accomplish, rather than something they can have fun in. Hopefully in the future, that'll change with new faces who are truly appreciative for just making it to top 8.
taylor sims - melee is many of these people’s jobs and they make a their money from it. Anyone would get mad if something detrimental happened to their job, tournament results are no exception.
well I mean it is the worlds biggest stage and it's happened before from people that aren't clowning around or doing it for attention (an example: ruclips.net/video/Tn7qefqjaIs/видео.html)
I'm really happy for Hbox. But I wanted the 3vo so bad! And seeing how defeated everyone in the top 5 looked... heartbreaking. It truly felt like this EVO was the most important one yet, and you can see that in how joyful Hbox is, and how down the rest of the top 8 members are. Truly a spectacular tournament, congratulations Hbox you deserved it.
I love Hbox because he radiates me, a great part of my life i was like him, the unlikely, the one who everyone looks down upon Seeing him win makes me so happy
Say what you like about the guy. He's a great player who fought against the odds and took down a lot of obstacles to get where he did, even Armada. That's some serious talent, and people should learn from his success.
Its even more epic cause when he won he was gonna pop off cause that was a tight game. But then he realized what he actually did. He won evo. You can see it on his face
Yes, I may be a Smash 64 Jigglypuff main, but seeing a Melee Jigglypuff main on Hungrybox's level and seeing him win and get so happy about it is heartwarming. Hungrybox is definitely one of my favorite Gods of Melee!!
FireEmblem27 he's the only God now PPMD had to quit tournaments because of health problems Mew2King started streaming other games Armada retired because it was too much stress for him and Mang0 isn't really as dominant anymore
0:07 this is by far my fsvorite face from him before he inevitability win this set and painted into history. It just screams "i'm right there, the trophy is right there"
Mew2King dominated Melee, then Brawl and Melee, then Melee again, and he's quickly become one of the best Smash 4 players. While he more deserves the title, Mang0 is the GOAT, just as Ken is the King. It's just his title.
Man, I wish I would have known about this competition years ago. I am just now getting into Smash and I love it. I have also been playing Smash Melee on Dolphin emulator a lot which almost makes me like it a little bit more than Ultimate sometimes.
That was Armada And yeah why wouldn't he be? Evo is one of the most (if not *the* most) important melee tournament and to lose it could break a man's heart.. But that's how games work unfortunately.. Only one winner GG to Hbox.. He deserves it!
he beat hungrybox, made it to winners finals, lost to Armada, and then went to losers finals and lost to the guy he previously beat (hungrybox). I'd probably be upset too.
Daniel Maion no it was just a crazy comeback to send it to the real grand finals since Hbox was coming from the losers bracket and has to beat aramada, coming from the winners side, twice to win
Daniel Maion there are things like the Losers bracket and the winners Bracket you will be in Winners if you haven't lost any game yet if you lose one set you will be knocked into Losers you have to face off against other players who came from Losers until you get to the grand finals the one who comes out of Losers has to win 6 times 2 sets the one out of winners only has to win 3 times which is one set yes I'm terrible at explaining
![SSBM: [A]rmada vs Liquid'Hungrybox - EVO 2016 Grand Finals](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HeX8SlPzlXI/mqdefault.jpg)
Man I always tear up watching Hbox's reaction to winning. So much dedication and heart and it paid off for him. Couldn't be happier for the guy.
Armada dping the IRL loser screen clap.
damn
3:03
LMAO
Bro, I saw this comment literally as it was happening on screen lmfaooooo
LOL
If only his dad could see him now...
Nathan Lou wait hbox father passed away?
Living is Pain Yea, after he won Dreamhack 2015 he said
"My dad just passed away -- it was my biological dad. I know it's personal stuff, but he told me you'll never be the best. You'll be good, but you'll never be the best. So, I hope he sees me now." in an interview. I assume thats the reason he pointed up right before being handed the trophy.
Fucking almost cried reading this comment just after he won in the video @kiburedo Shiyosha
Cuticles and
Kiburedo Shiyosha Wow I was happy for him before I read this comment but I had no idea winning this was such a huge deal for him mentally.
Kudos to Armada for being such a composed, good sportsman. When he walked up and gave Hbox that fist bump... 2:42 I felt it.
I’d like to think at 2:38 he was contemplating how he lost to Hbox, but after thinking about how much that win means to Hbox he went over there for the fist bump. These guys knew each other very well.
Yeah there's a lot of moments you can remember Armada for, but this moment of humility in his defeat cements him as one of the most legendary smash players.
hbox will no longer be known for the giver of free evos anymore.
Hahhaha xD.
Please don't say xd
He gave himself a free Evo
the fact that it went 10 games means that it was the least free evo he could've given himself
Frevos
2:28 that is a true man. Willing to cry and fall to the floor in tears of joy after putting his life into something. Good on you hungerybox. Good on you
Armada finally tastes something he hasn't before...defeat.
Pancake3213 tastes it a lot now lol
PPMD wants to have a word with ya.
and salt. lots of salt.
Uhhh...Evo 2013, Genesis 1, to name some iconic moments of Armada being defeated....
mrm64 he is talking about 2015 and 2016 he is talking about the dominant Armada era
Man rewatching that gives me goosebumps every time. I remember watching live with a friend when Hbox was down 2 stocks before the reset, thinking "Well this is it, good hustle but Armada is just too good" and then all I remember was Pandemonium. It was so fucking hype.
2:29 you just see him say "oh my god!" through all the noise
Anyone who says HBox's play is lame and boring aught to look at gameplay of him from the last year.
Yeah, Hbox has become so aggro and no one can play Puff like him and at that level. Anyone who tries to say that Puff is a gimme character has to realize - no one else places high like Hbox with the character.
yea its hilarious that people say "he isnt as good at the game and wins with gimmicks" like its unreal that people think that. They act like anyone can pick up puff and start winning tournaments
Vovelgravity Incorrect. HBox misses very rarely. They're basically guaranteed.
That just means his skill as a player. It's still a 50/50. If he misses, he WILL get punished badly.
***** So it's not a 50/50 if you're good. -.-
Armada is clapping exactly like Fox
PPU, S2J and Hbox looked like the only happy ones with their result.
look at evo 2013 compared to now everyone looked so happy back then
west was pretty happy on twitter afterwards
+Jerico Magsino that's because in 2013 there were naturally smiling people in top 8, like shroomed and PPMD.
That's just my POV though.
+XRedKirbyX to be fair top players are never going to be content with anything but first
I agree. I doubt top players will ever be truly content with anything but first, but I think in 2013, people were still euphoric just being at being at such a big tournament. Now, the feeling of being in tournaments, even Evo, is like... something they must accomplish, rather than something they can have fun in. Hopefully in the future, that'll change with new faces who are truly appreciative for just making it to top 8.
Armada looks so angry lol
looking at hbox's popoff youd of thought he lost
Austin Fulco no. nobody collapses and cries when they lose. if anything, they get mad.
Some people do.
If they do, they are either a child, or a clown doing it for attention.
taylor sims - melee is many of these people’s jobs and they make a their money from it. Anyone would get mad if something detrimental happened to their job, tournament results are no exception.
well I mean it is the worlds biggest stage and it's happened before from people that aren't clowning around or doing it for attention (an example: ruclips.net/video/Tn7qefqjaIs/видео.html)
This music fit so well, you're videos are always top notch :D
Thanks i'm glad you enjoy them
Melted Potatoes hi, you know the name of the song??
Amazing Shadow men please name of the song?? And Hi from venezuela??
I'm really happy for Hbox. But I wanted the 3vo so bad! And seeing how defeated everyone in the top 5 looked... heartbreaking. It truly felt like this EVO was the most important one yet, and you can see that in how joyful Hbox is, and how down the rest of the top 8 members are. Truly a spectacular tournament, congratulations Hbox you deserved it.
+TheUnknownMartin well he did said top 5
+ TheUknownedMartin009 S2J is a fucking rock, lol. But I like his attitude regarding everything. Always seems to be very calm and collected.
It's almost amazing how Armada is a textbook villain.
its the leather jacket, total villian
Except that he's a really good and decent man, and Hbox is extremely arrogant now after winning EVO and quitting his job.
GravityBlast how is that arrogant? he's chasing his dreams and having fun doing it? hes not being arrogant.
Not here, i mean in general.
Wtf armada is such a nice guy
I love Hbox because he radiates me, a great part of my life i was like him, the unlikely, the one who everyone looks down upon
Seeing him win makes me so happy
Say what you like about the guy. He's a great player who fought against the odds and took down a lot of obstacles to get where he did, even Armada. That's some serious talent, and people should learn from his success.
2:37 armada is like:
congrats bro...
3:02
LoL
Despite 2016 being a terrible year for me, this puts a smile on my face.
6 years later and i hope life’s been going good for you king 👑
I see this posted a lot but 2016 was probably the best year I had since 2006.
this made me more emotional than a billion dollar budget movie
Seeing a grown man cry is enough to make a grown man cry 😢
the pure expression of joy shock bewilderment and happiness on his face is amazing
YOU CAN SEE HUNGRYBOX FATHER LOOKING DOWN FOR HEAVEN DIRECTLY TO HUNGRYBOX FROM ARMADAS FACE :P
Wycer If he's a good father he's happy he was proved wrong.
Wycer I don't think his father deserves heaven
3:04 armada looks like he’s from the melee victory screen when the characters are clapping when they lose
Its even more epic cause when he won he was gonna pop off cause that was a tight game. But then he realized what he actually did. He won evo. You can see it on his face
You're still alive! I missed you!
yea i'm still alive i miss you guys too
Did you miss me?
+Pop Magoot Hey I played you on Anthers probably a year ago! I think you used DK
I did and I still do! Nice to see someone recognize me.
I felt the hype in the video
He felt himself so badly lol
FR!
Yes, I may be a Smash 64 Jigglypuff main, but seeing a Melee Jigglypuff main on Hungrybox's level and seeing him win and get so happy about it is heartwarming. Hungrybox is definitely one of my favorite Gods of Melee!!
FireEmblem27 he's the only God now PPMD had to quit tournaments because of health problems Mew2King started streaming other games Armada retired because it was too much stress for him and Mang0 isn't really as dominant anymore
@@saraskyline8331 the GOAT is recovering, but he still to go for a long way to be called a god again
And that's the moment when Armada became toxic
Holy shit, that was amazing. But man did Armada look broken. That 1st set was taken off his hands so much.
This is so heartwarming
what an emotional evo
Was about to comment on your last video if you were still active lol. Glad to see you are back. Awesome video :)
Always move backwards my pink muscled marshmallow
That mans work ethic is crazy , Hbox well deserved win
Year of the Hungrybox
god armada looked so depressed after he lost, feelsbadman :(
0:07 this is by far my fsvorite face from him before he inevitability win this set and painted into history. It just screams "i'm right there, the trophy is right there"
1:52 when he looks at his coach, sayin "1 more!"
The rest is game 5 s1 maybe have been clutch af, but that sdi out of the up-air was the most clutch I've seen
The GOAT
That title still stands to Mang0. It will never be taken away from him.
+Xero Collosus I wouldn't really call mang0 the best right now, but it's extremely hard to tell, hbox deserves that title right now
+Blaze Taleo there is a difference from being the best right now and being the GOAT.
+Chubs the greatest of all time would probably be m2k then, over his whole career he's probably the best
Mew2King dominated Melee, then Brawl and Melee, then Melee again, and he's quickly become one of the best Smash 4 players. While he more deserves the title, Mang0 is the GOAT, just as Ken is the King. It's just his title.
Man, I wish I would have known about this competition years ago. I am just now getting into Smash and I love it. I have also been playing Smash Melee on Dolphin emulator a lot which almost makes me like it a little bit more than Ultimate sometimes.
2:39 He sad boi
i cried only cuz he cried... it was the best win ever. he is awesome and he is probbabbly the only one getting puffs tier up
This made me want to get good with jiggs
Crazy when dana white came out and gave him the medal
This video makes me happy.
When you realize that Joey's World Tour runs EVO.
you what
Did you know were I can see some interviews? after the end of tournament they shutdown the streaming
I don't know about the others but here's Hungrybox's interview twitter.com/YahooEsports/status/755098742810746880
+Amazing Shadow You are truly Amazing. Thanks.
2:38 armada Biblethump
i love Hbox, but armada is so devastated there ;-;
He looked so sad after he sat back down :(
One of the best sets of any Smash game
This is the hbox puff which I love watching, Incredible. Why is his new style so much like his old style.
Hungrybox charging his DK downsmash at 3:33
The other guy was so pissed off
That was Armada
And yeah why wouldn't he be? Evo is one of the most (if not *the* most) important melee tournament and to lose it could break a man's heart..
But that's how games work unfortunately.. Only one winner
GG to Hbox.. He deserves it!
Very cool of Armada for giving that fist bump. Really shows that he’s a good dude
I cried when this happened.
Truly brings a tear to my eye😀
wish they could have both won really amazing tournament amazing top 8 amazing grand finals
This is beautifully made thankyou so much!!
Why was Plup not happy? He did amazing.
he beat hungrybox, made it to winners finals, lost to Armada, and then went to losers finals and lost to the guy he previously beat (hungrybox). I'd probably be upset too.
Congrats Hungrybox :)
The greatest smash win of all time.
This was 6 years ago.... wow
in 2016 did people use those controller mods that nowadays everyone uses, the snapbacking etc.
h-box looks like he's gonna cry. i would cry too
His journey has come to an end? No... this is just the beginning.... :)
great vid glad your back!
Hbox gettin Armada heated more then his hand warmers.
Love both these guys,
Ouuuh, Armada don't like lose ...
feels good man
2:28
That dopamine rush would have been fucking gargantuan.
i don't think you could hate hbox at this moment. it's not humanly possible.
now a year later im feeling bad for armada
Hbox me boi
What a moment
I'd rather have live audios on these videos rather than music
BibleThump
YES JOIN THE PUFF ARMY
Armada coulda given HBox a hug.
Damn, Armada looks devastated.
Name of the song please?? Somebody know??
I'm late but the song is in the description Antics - Moments
lmao Armadas pissed off
Can anyone link to a match where someone did the "stairway to heaven" like armada
HUNGRYBOX
Es lindo pensar que hungrybox nació en argentina
I feel sad for armada but I feel better than Hbox won 😔😔😃😃
Imagine how armada feels. He had an easy chance of winning a favorable match up and lost. Id be so salty
Compare the spirit in here with the one in EVO 2015.
Hungrybox is new chamion?
What happened at the beginning? He thought that won the game? Idk anything about melee.
Daniel Maion HBox was coming from losers bracket. Which means winning the first best of 3 allows you to play the real best of 3 for the tournament
*Best of 5
Daniel Maion no it was just a crazy comeback to send it to the real grand finals since Hbox was coming from the losers bracket and has to beat aramada, coming from the winners side, twice to win
Daniel Maion there are things like the Losers bracket and the winners Bracket you will be in Winners if you haven't lost any game yet if you lose one set you will be knocked into Losers you have to face off against other players who came from Losers until you get to the grand finals the one who comes out of Losers has to win 6 times 2 sets the one out of winners only has to win 3 times which is one set yes I'm terrible at explaining
Great song for the video !!!
Ray Chand men you know the name of the song??
What if he dropped the trophy
Mr Swag then it would break if you didn't know
WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS HERE!?
Whats in Armadas pocket though
Handwarmers
anyone else just looking at his wins to see the haters
