    I saw Axe at a grocery store a while back. I told him how cool his edge guards were, but I didn't want to bother him and be a douche and ask him for tips on how to 4 stock silentwolf in under a minute or anything.
    He said "Oh, that's no problem!"
    Expecting him to be rude I was taken aback, and all I could say was "huh?", but he kept cutting me off and saying "it's no problem!" Over and over while smiling in front of my face. I walked away and continued shopping, and heard him say "nice to meet you!" as I walked off.
    When I came up to pay for my stuff up front I saw him try to walk out the door with like 15 flowers for his girlfriend in his hand without saying a word.
    The cashier was very nice and was like "sir, I'm going to need you to pay for those first". At first he didn't hear him because he kept opening the door for customers, but eventually he turned back around and brought them to the counter.
    When the cashier took the bouquet of flowers and started writing in a note, Axe stopped him and told him to write a note for each flower individually "to show her that I just love her so much," and then he turned around and smiled at me. I dont even think that much love is possible. After the cashier wrote every note and put them in a bag and started to tell Axe to leave, he kept interrupting him by apologizing in a perfect, melodic tone.

      I don't know why some people hate hbox so much well maybe it's because I understand peoples motivations and characters too well and I'm not trying to flex here. When I look at hbox and his whole melee community situation I just feel sad. Damn I really fucking wish I could live in the mind of an avarage person just for one fucking day. I probably sound like an arrogant douchebag here but it's the sad truth. You can hate me all you want for this comment btw I just felt the desperate need to share that.

    • @jrave5353
      @jrave5353 5 лет назад +40

      Boat Master You would have to be in complete denial if you said that he didn’t benefit from bracket luck-no Armada (obviously), Leffen, M2K, or Mango is very lucky.
      That being said, Axe didn’t choke his opportunity and was able to beat so many very talented players to make it to grands. Game 5 wins against Legend (game 3 of a bo3), iBDW, Kalamazhu, Zain, and Plup, competitive sets against Rishi, PewPewU, Ginger (for a 3-0 it was close), and aMSa. And his two losses, to HBox and S2J, were game 5 nail-biters.
      I’m particularly impressed by his losers finals win against Plup because not only was Plup the defending champion, but before yesterday he had never beaten Plup’s sheik in a set.
      Sure, you can make the argument that he’s beaten all of those players before, but most of them have beaten him before, too. He had to clutch out so many moments to keep progressing but found it within himself to do so. Before yesterday, Axe had never proven he was capable of a losers’ run like that. And it all culminated in a 2nd place finish at a supermajor, his best playing at a major tournament ever.

    • @LANBobYonson
      @LANBobYonson 5 лет назад +12

      Armada retiring is huge for Axe. Axe has beaten everyone in the top 10 at least once but NEVER beaten Armada iirc. So usually if axe did get to top 8 even in winners side he'd be double eliminated by armada then hungrybox and get 3rd and if he got into losers side get 3rd, 5th, or 7th. I think one tournament he beat hungrybox and got 2nd possibly losing to plup? but he has never gotten 1st at a major. With Armada gone Axe actually has a good chance to get 1st as shown by his amazing performance at G6. I'm super excited for this year. If I was writing the script I'd make this one a close one and have Axe take what he learned from G6 and just start dominating the whole year. He deserves it.

I don't have any way to evaluate it.. I'm just in awe.. He held up his hand.. He grabbed his wrist and held his hand in the air.. Axe's hand.. How can you win and still need that much attention for yourself? Maybe it's not that and I'm being unfair. I don't know where he is on the spectrum or whatever so whatever but that was WEIRD.
