How dare you compare such a graceful move to something as inferior as a dab. I honestly have no idea why I did this...all I know is I was crazy excited for Plup. Respect to both of these players despite my actions that in retrospect were absolutely ridiculous.
Daniel Vasquez I genuinely don't know if there's a problem with me because I acted almost entirely without thinking about the potential consequences. I just had this compulsive desire to do it. Maybe I am just a douchebag.
If Plup gets all 3, I think he'd be an official no debate god of melee, not just a godslayer. I definitely think he's capable, and his character pool is great.
A god has success over an extended period of time. There was practically half a decade where no finals had anyone outside of the 5 gods. One amazing year merely means you're knocking on the door.
lordfredplus Yes... You bet your ass he did. Also considering that fox is the only character remotely viable against Hbox's puff. Although recently Hbox has been making the matchup that is supposed to favor fox look like a joke.
I am always proud of your sportsmanship, son! It does not matter if you lose or win, you are a human being that has gone through very hard tests. Continue always being humble and the Universe will take care of putting everyone who hates you in its place
The script that we've had for years is in the past. The mang0vsarmada hungryboxvsarmada, the plot armor are way past there prime. From Ken to Pc Chris to Mew2king to Mang0 to Armada Hungrybox to Plup. The Torch has been passed down.
well leffen at this point is the only won who has a really good record on him so no like I guess no one is really there, if you know, tournaments were still on
In all my years of watching Melee tournaments; I have never EVER wanted someone to lose so badly. Plup literally saved my life (as a spectator) today. Genesis 5 is now property of the Plup Club All the gods and Leffen are already property of the Plup Club 2018 WILL be property of the Plup Club.
This is wonderful to see for so many reasons. I think M2K and Plup playing/streaming/training together has a lot to do with this victory. Happy for Plup, and I hope M2K's big moment will come soon.
Feels like I'm the only one who likes watching HBox play Grand Finals because of how tense it is playing against Puff. Set 1 was the shortest Grand Final set i've ever watched! Great stuff to Plup though... I guess I now mean... God stuff to Plup.
And Hbox is risky and aggressive as hell since the beginning of last year. Honestly, watching him using a character who was supposed to rely on reading opponents, jump into the put of the stadium transition, a place where EVERYONE ELSE would've just waited, was hype as shit.
When I first saw the set between Plup (Samus) vs Skrach (Marth) many many moons ago, I knew this kid would be the future of Melee. Congrats to him on this momentous victory.
I think my favorite part was watching all the other top Melee players congratulate Plup at the end. That says a lot about the type of community they are
LET'S GO, PLUP!!! Also, I'm not an HBox fan, but people say that puff is lane it his play style is but dear lord he played explosively in these two sets. I don't think it was lame at all. Maybe it was because it was GF but every second just felt so tense and like he'd instakill Plup. Was incredible to watch and even more incredible to see my boy take the W.
Being in TBH7 venue after plup was dropping set 1 gfs hard was crushing. Seeing it almost happen again was crushing watching from my house. amazingly impressed and glad that melee is a game where the better player can always win if they keep going. Ggs
This is so cool for me as someone who only recently got into melee. The first set I ever watched was the apex salty suite between plup and hugs and ever since he's been my favorite player. It's awesome to see him playing at this level
So I just realized that, in set 2, Plup wins on Stadium in game 2... and then takes him there again game four? That's pretty explicitly against the rules. They didn't talk beforehand, so there wasn't gentleman's agreement to go back. Plup might not have won the set if he had taken him to a stage it was legal for him to, and that's a difference of more than $4000 in payout
bobjennjoeyally There's always a villain, hbox has been the villain for a while now. He plays puff, he wins and apparently he has a dickish personality. Anyways I think he's okay with it
hbox is an extremely expressive winner to say the least. combine that with a defensive playstyle in a game known for speed, and you basically have a guy rubbing his wins in everyone who dislikes defensive play's faces
Being a mango fanboy, i was a little disappointed to not see the usual genesis grand finals set. But plup definitely deserved this win, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. he has improved so much in the last year and it is showing, congratulations plup, you definitely earned this win, TAKING BOTH ARMADA AND HBOX OUT and hopefully there's many more to come. THIS IS PLUPS YEAR
As a hungrybox fan, I'm happy and not salty about this L, props to plup, his mix ups are insane. IMO this shine at 22:39 after that drill won him the game. Hope he will soon get #3 or #2 in world (because I hope hbox stay first).
Not salt at all, tried to write my comment about the shine, without any other guy assuming Im a fanboy. And also hoping plup a great 2018 (and to hbox too).
Anyone notice.. he picked Stadium twice? WF set he picked Yoshi's first and then Pokemon. First GF set Yoshi's and then Pokemon. Second set, Pokemon, Hbox to DL, plup to Pokemon again. Hbox allowing it? Or plup conditioning him to think he picked Yoshi's first like the last two sets.
23:06 LOL watching it on stream I didnt realize this random kid rushed the stage to take that legendary crowd selfie, then gets kicked off. Was too distracted hyping over Plup
I remember On EVO 2015, when Plup took 4th place, I said to my brother "Plup will rule in a few years" And today, Plup won GENESIS 5 The legend is born This is unbelievable Plup saved Melee
Couldn't have asked for a more tense finale to this tourney. We've all seen Clutchbox pull out crazy loser's runs like this before yet Plup managed to figure things out over time and pull it out. 2018 is the year of Plup!
Good stuff, Hbox. Hbox is one of the biggest reasons that melee keeps being pushed. Everyone has to figure out new tech to take on him. Thank you for helping push the game, Hbox. Thank you for saving melee
Peef Rimgar he didn't agree though. He said on twitter he didn't realize he did it twice. He would have never let plup go to his best stage by far twice lol.
Peef Rimgar yeah true. It's crazy that none of the players there noticed though. I guess it's kinda hard to tell when there's multiple sets and so much tension in the air and it's so late. Just sucks for hbox but hell plup might have just won anyway even without it.
Wow it's hard to believe. Plup legit won a super major. Every top 10 player was present plus like every top 100 player. Amazing. M2k if you're reading this, this needs to be your goal bro.
Marisa Nya people are just bitches. They don’t like his play style and some other bullshit. His play style gets him wins and they play to win. They don’t play for peoples entertainment. People are just so dumb and brain dead and oblivious to someone else feels
Yay!
Yay
lol m2k
That was a sick dash grab m2k
Yay
Yay2king
23:14 M2K with that running grab
Lol just saw that
he's so proud of his friend
And mango finishes the stock with a rapid jab lmao
M2K also tried to upthrow him, but Plup mashed out too quickly
Never fall a grab 😂😂
THE GENESIS SERIES IS NOW PROPERTY OF THE PLUP CLUB
Lazy Lee SNACHED!
Yo I fucking love plup. But um... team ugs alliance kinda still owns it.
Nice profile pic bro
xavier scott Nah boi. Plup won both events this year.
Pulp Culb
HE DID IT. HE REALLY DID IT. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN MORE HAPPY TO BE A PLUP FAN!!!!! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!
I legit nearly teared up at the end of this...
You sounds like the announcer when George foreman Koed Moore. If you don't know what I'm saying look it up you'll understand
+Fedor the greatest mayweather is a puss Lmaooo I just looked it up, that’s funny
plups a god
o shit
No he’s not
Echoesoftimelover he is now
suffocatingfool not really
Echoesoftimelover lol what's a god to a non believer as they say. But he just won singles and doubles at Genesis 5. Beat 3 gods... He's a God now
good shit
AsumSaus love your vids dude(/dudette) gotta make a zain at G5 montage!
Lol
23:06 Probably one of the worst dabs I have ever witnessed
They're all the worst
HAHAHA I didn’t even know that was a dab that’s terrible
How dare you compare such a graceful move to something as inferior as a dab. I honestly have no idea why I did this...all I know is I was crazy excited for Plup. Respect to both of these players despite my actions that in retrospect were absolutely ridiculous.
Hexia so was the rest of the crowd, but you didn't see any of them jump on the stage and be a d-bag.
Daniel Vasquez I genuinely don't know if there's a problem with me because I acted almost entirely without thinking about the potential consequences. I just had this compulsive desire to do it. Maybe I am just a douchebag.
From 0-3 to game 5 win, Plup was amazing.
THIS VIDEO IS NOW PROPERTY OF THE PLUP CLUB
Best timeline to be alive
so true. what a great way to start this years melee. fuck this is good
There is a timeline with more ppmd. This timeline is second at best
Howtostudies, I need to hop to my timeline hopper and go to the PPMD one lmao.
XD
Plup now needs to go for the Melee triple crown:
Genisis ✔
Evo
Big House
If Plup gets all 3, I think he'd be an official no debate god of melee, not just a godslayer. I definitely think he's capable, and his character pool is great.
Plup is becoming the one true God of melee. He can out preform the other 5 top players using 3 different characters.
So can m2k, but that doesnt matter plup is sick
l33tcpu if he got all 3 you could consider it a reign which would make him a god
A god has success over an extended period of time. There was practically half a decade where no finals had anyone outside of the 5 gods. One amazing year merely means you're knocking on the door.
Who needs Kratos killing gods when we have Plup out here taking Ws left and right. Plup bless
watched live but I missed the m2k hug. I'm here for that.
That was heartwarming
Wholesome2king
To regain composure after losing a set in 5mins and win the 2nd is absolutely incredible. Thank fucking God he did it.
YESSSS! yes plup, hell yes!
CONGRATULATIONS HUNGRYBOX.........CONGRATULATIONS PLUIP..........PLUP.
Good meme
Only people who stayed til end of credits know Kappa
username 10000 it's an inside joke.. only true gen 5 fans will know..
Oh, man. I actually laughed at that so hard last night.
Boback almost snuffed that kid that jumped on stage lmao
petebushman he should have
@Daniel Christensen but like why
@@momopenguins7335 dude was being a fuckboy. Let me take advantage of someone else's moment for my own clout while I DAB and take a SELFIE. Fuck him
and thats how plup saved melee
ANIME PLOT
The big house arc he failed hard.
and then the genesis saga was starting to look the same but then, something sparked.
Plup saved melee with best character in the game?
lordfredplus Yes... You bet your ass he did.
Also considering that fox is the only character remotely viable against Hbox's puff. Although recently Hbox has been making the matchup that is supposed to favor fox look like a joke.
WE LOST PPMD BUT PLUP IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY
>hbox just won
>hbox was in the final
>hbox has been in top8 at everything for like 3 years
yep you've "saved" melee from ONE jigglypuff lmfao
I am always proud of your sportsmanship, son! It does not matter if you lose or win, you are a human being that has gone through very hard tests. Continue always being humble and the Universe will take care of putting everyone who hates you in its place
You should be proud, he played out of his mind and made it the most exciting match we could hope for.
He went from his finger injury last season to be at the top of his game, surely he's an inspiration from everyone, congratulations from both c:
Such an awesome mom! Your son is awesome and you should be proud. :)
Thank you fangzilla!! I am very proud of him!!!
come on, guys. for all you know, I made that account and am HUNGRYBOXMAMA.
He won because of the pants
definitely a part of it
was at G5 and saw him wearing those same pants Friday Saturday and Sunday. Lucky pants I guess lol
Superior gaming pants, now available
Melee almost fell of a cliff and died but Plup saved us all. Thank you Plup.
The script that we've had for years is in the past. The mang0vsarmada hungryboxvsarmada, the plot armor are way past there prime. From Ken to Pc Chris to Mew2king to Mang0 to Armada Hungrybox to Plup. The Torch has been passed down.
EvanFingerstyle2 it’s a joke vro
settle down now.
Oh what a beautiful possible reality.
Plup is way more talented than leffen
k
Hungrybox reminds me of Majin buu with the whole squad wondering who's gonna take out the unstoppable pink blob
Super Player lol why is this so fitting
What does that make plup? Goku?
Buck Mcnasty Yamcha
well leffen at this point is the only won who has a really good record on him so no like I guess no one is really there, if you know, tournaments were still on
Truly this is the hero we need. But definitely not the one we deserve.
Nah we definitely deserved better. Hungrybox shouldn't be our #1 player.
Orbrun I hope that's a joke🤢
In all my years of watching Melee tournaments; I have never EVER wanted someone to lose so badly. Plup literally saved my life (as a spectator) today.
Genesis 5 is now property of the Plup Club
All the gods and Leffen are already property of the Plup Club
2018 WILL be property of the Plup Club.
Mr. Chef he saved ure stock
Mr. Chef It's pathetic on so many levels to say a competitive game of Melee saved your life. Get a grip (Implying that the comment was serious).
Mr Lemur it was clearly a hyperbole
The Communist can someone plz explain to me why everyone hates hbox?
out of the loop, why the Hungrybox hate?
This is wonderful to see for so many reasons. I think M2K and Plup playing/streaming/training together has a lot to do with this victory. Happy for Plup, and I hope M2K's big moment will come soon.
Han Solo me too :(
Plup2King 2020!
shoutouts to the fuccboi running up on the stage @ 23:06
yeah what an ass lol. get bounced off stage.
Feels like I'm the only one who likes watching HBox play Grand Finals because of how tense it is playing against Puff. Set 1 was the shortest Grand Final set i've ever watched! Great stuff to Plup though... I guess I now mean... God stuff to Plup.
Aaron Samuel Fox dittos are less entertaining then Fox v Puff imo
Aaron Samuel Armada vs Mang0 at G4 felt even faster
And Hbox is risky and aggressive as hell since the beginning of last year. Honestly, watching him using a character who was supposed to rely on reading opponents, jump into the put of the stadium transition, a place where EVERYONE ELSE would've just waited, was hype as shit.
2018: THE YEAR OF THE PULP
In my orange juice?
Advice, skip to 5:15, that's where the real Grand Finals begins, Plup just wanted to make it interesting
One of the most dominating sets I've ever seen between top players. Amazing to come back after that shit and take it!
You just spoiled the set while attempting to be helpful to those that hadn't watched it lol.
Phoenix1212121212 I don't think someone who hasn't seen would be dumb enough to look at the comments
Me neither, but then who is your advice addressed to?
Phoenix1212121212 People who have already seen it, obviously
M2k was the first to congratulate Plup, and then quickly left the stage.
M2k has a mighty soul.
Defeating peak clutchbox twice is no easy feat. I loved watching this set live, and love rewatching a few years later.
23:15 Boback with the cleanest of edge guards!!!
plup wakes up around 8:06
Does Plup sandbag set 1 for the download for set 2 or something LOL
Superpokemaster yes
Yep thats what he did at dreamhack atlanta
No. There is almost no way he intentionally did that. No johns.
Who would’ve guessed that silly kid with the spongebob hat who charge shot hugs would go on to be one of the best in the world and win Genesis 5?
When I first saw the set between Plup (Samus) vs Skrach (Marth) many many moons ago, I knew this kid would be the future of Melee. Congrats to him on this momentous victory.
CONGRATULATIONS PLUIP
lol I remember that
I think my favorite part was watching all the other top Melee players congratulate Plup at the end. That says a lot about the type of community they are
LET'S GO, PLUP!!! Also, I'm not an HBox fan, but people say that puff is lane it his play style is but dear lord he played explosively in these two sets. I don't think it was lame at all. Maybe it was because it was GF but every second just felt so tense and like he'd instakill Plup. Was incredible to watch and even more incredible to see my boy take the W.

m2k came in with that dash dance grab
He got that IRL Marth grab range
Plup is so entertaining to watch! From the infamous time where he beat Leffen with his Samus a few years ago, to now...this man sure is something!
I actually jumped out of my chair when Plup took that victory! This was an amazing tournament. Congrats to Plup!
Hadouken714 me too
This is so cool for me as someone who only recently got into melee. The first set I ever watched was the apex salty suite between plup and hugs and ever since he's been my favorite player. It's awesome to see him playing at this level
not hbox
not mang0
not leffen
not armada
BUT PLUP, LETS GO
TheEMASSEY u forget m2k bruh?
m2k wasn't even in top 8 ;_;
journeyfan1995 m2k is so washed rn
subxero 0 mango missed top 8 plenty of times last year
Coco Zimme mango won royal flush and got 2nd at evo
Coming back to this, I still think Plup played better than anyone has played this year so far. What a god.
Gimr, what is up with all these ads?
It was kind of beautiful to see three of the gods celebrate with Plup on stage. #smashfamily
I've never seen M2K as happy, even when HE'S the one that wins the tournament.
22:07 Hungrybox's expression sent a chill down my spine
Only time I've ever seen mang0 celebrate for another player's win.
Seeing this live was insane! So glad Plup got the W. I even hugged the dude next to me even though I didn't know him hahaha
melee instantly redeemed in this second set
So I just realized that, in set 2, Plup wins on Stadium in game 2... and then takes him there again game four? That's pretty explicitly against the rules. They didn't talk beforehand, so there wasn't gentleman's agreement to go back. Plup might not have won the set if he had taken him to a stage it was legal for him to, and that's a difference of more than $4000 in payout
How is Hbox making melee die? Why is he the one getting universal hate? I don't get it.
bobjennjoeyally There's always a villain, hbox has been the villain for a while now. He plays puff, he wins and apparently he has a dickish personality. Anyways I think he's okay with it
hbox is an extremely expressive winner to say the least. combine that with a defensive playstyle in a game known for speed, and you basically have a guy rubbing his wins in everyone who dislikes defensive play's faces
He has a great personality, and all the commentators shit on him except D1 maybe TK(though he has said he hates HBox) bunch of whiny bitches
It's nice to see a different character on top for a change imo.. It's like everybody else is content watching 7000 foxes play each other all the time.
Being a mango fanboy, i was a little disappointed to not see the usual genesis grand finals set. But plup definitely deserved this win, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. he has improved so much in the last year and it is showing, congratulations plup, you definitely earned this win, TAKING BOTH ARMADA AND HBOX OUT and hopefully there's many more to come. THIS IS PLUPS YEAR
As a hungrybox fan, I'm happy and not salty about this L, props to plup, his mix ups are insane. IMO this shine at 22:39 after that drill won him the game. Hope he will soon get #3 or #2 in world (because I hope hbox stay first).
F_Crp Mir I feel like it’s a bit unnecessary for you to say that you’re not salty and that you’re an hbox fan. Just be happy for plup if you are.
Not salt at all, tried to write my comment about the shine, without any other guy assuming Im a fanboy. And also hoping plup a great 2018 (and to hbox too).
Tell me that last set wasn't one of the most hype sets of all time. History people. History.
WWWOOOOOOOO Great job plup!!! and gg's to hbox.
Hopefully the sore winner's in the crowd/comments still don't hate.
Anyone notice.. he picked Stadium twice? WF set he picked Yoshi's first and then Pokemon. First GF set Yoshi's and then Pokemon. Second set, Pokemon, Hbox to DL, plup to Pokemon again. Hbox allowing it? Or plup conditioning him to think he picked Yoshi's first like the last two sets.
Mang0 walking up to Plup is so fuckin hype
23:06 LOL watching it on stream I didnt realize this random kid rushed the stage to take that legendary crowd selfie, then gets kicked off. Was too distracted hyping over Plup
Let's talk about how Hungrybox was such a good sport and even looked happy for Plup, immediately after he lost
Vish and homemadewaffles hit that " Plup wins genesis " at the same time lol. Synchronized greatness
Plup* is a God now
Guillermo Alfredo Catoni Ryan *Pulp
He has to wait for PP to come back and beat him first.
_ Maza _
He already did
Guillermo Alfredo Catoni Ryan he and leffen semi-gods?
God is a title give to those who dominated in a certain time period. Its not based on current skill and isnt a title you get for being good.
This tournament win was basically Plup's introduction into the God Club. @23:23 they all came to congratulate him.
plupW
Did pulp counter pick to Pokémon twice?? Someone explain how that works please. Thanks in advance
Good eye! Hbox didn't realize it in the moment. Hbox tweeted "F***ing whoops" after the set lol
the last match was almost as long as the first set lol
TroymyJam it was longer hahaha
its crazy after all these years they keep getting better. hungrybox is insane and so is plup
Lets go plup beating 3 gods winning singles and doubles.

On EVO 2015, when Plup took 4th place, I said to my brother "Plup will rule in a few years"
And today, Plup won GENESIS 5
The legend is born
This is unbelievable
Plup saved Melee
I don't understand how Plup was allowed to pick Pokemon for game 4 in the second set.
If Plup asks Hbox and he agrees they can gentleman back to a stage that they won on.
what was hbox's reasoning for accepting that??
Rumford Chimpenstein because fuck FD
As 2Saint so eloquently explained Hbox probably thought FD would be worse for him against Plup, so he let Plup go back to stadium.
got it. thanks
Sick to see all of the gods run up to congratulate!
I knew plup won just from the number of likes this video got
Couldn't have asked for a more tense finale to this tourney. We've all seen Clutchbox pull out crazy loser's runs like this before yet Plup managed to figure things out over time and pull it out. 2018 is the year of Plup!
Good stuff, Hbox. Hbox is one of the biggest reasons that melee keeps being pushed. Everyone has to figure out new tech to take on him. Thank you for helping push the game, Hbox. Thank you for saving melee
I honestly love the duo of HMW and Vish. They're very different but work super well together. Also, go Plup!
23:14 fast2king
When hungrybox hugged him i hope plup whispered "that was for big house" in his ear
PLUIP PLUIP PLUIP PLUIP
This will go down in the Melee history books. Plup just saved this game fr
I don’t understand the hate against HBox at all.
LoveandGame people love to bandwagon
He wins too much and isn’t fun to watch.
I don’t totally agree but I want some variety.
LoveandGame i heard hes a douche to fans
Aiden Leinauer you heard... Don't base all your opinions on rumors
Conor Cunningham even leffen said something
You know when m2k gets physical in his congratulations that its truly something special.
Did anyone notice that plup counterpicked Pokemon Stadium twice in set 2 of Grand Finals?
Topdeckkek Yes, Plup can go back even though he won but only if Hbox agrees, otherwise he’d have to pick a different stage.
Peef Rimgar he didn't agree though. He said on twitter he didn't realize he did it twice. He would have never let plup go to his best stage by far twice lol.
reisjames1 Well then there ya go, mistakes happen.
Peef Rimgar yeah true. It's crazy that none of the players there noticed though. I guess it's kinda hard to tell when there's multiple sets and so much tension in the air and it's so late. Just sucks for hbox but hell plup might have just won anyway even without it.
Topdeckkek True, but it's still a mystery as to what would have happened. I guess we'll just have to wait til next time these two meet to see.
I'm honestly so upset I fell asleep before this set ended but when I woke up i literally screamed with joy.
Is Plup god status now?
MrVince329 no. He is just really good
it doesn't work like that.
Skill-wise, he’s one of the gods, but legacy-wise, no
Wow it's hard to believe. Plup legit won a super major. Every top 10 player was present plus like every top 100 player. Amazing.
M2k if you're reading this, this needs to be your goal bro.
Finally! Maybe the whining about HBOX winning all the time will dye down now....then again....maybe not. Anyway, good shit Plup and congrats!
Marisa Nya people are just bitches. They don’t like his play style and some other bullshit. His play style gets him wins and they play to win. They don’t play for peoples entertainment. People are just so dumb and brain dead and oblivious to someone else feels
True. It's a little easier not to complain about hbox winning when he's fucking losing. LOL.
Anthony Committe I don't hate his playstyle, I just hate him lol
IS THIS THE FIRST TOURNAMENT WHERE NONE OF THE GODS PLAYED EACH OTHER????
Im an Hbox fan, but I was chanting for Plup the entire time
You must be a terrible person.
Orbrun how?
Perfectly timed and outstanding movements from Plup!
*6th God Plup*
ok 7th?
7th*
Plup is better than m2k by far.
ok
With pp and m2k out, five gods
Ricardo Hernández
Nice b8
Definitely one of my favorites tournaments of all time cause of the W from my favorite player, love you plup
Plup counter picked Pokemon Stadium twice in set 2 of GFs
Why get therapy when you could just watch Plup vs Hungrybox Grand Finals Genesis 5
MELEE LIVES ANOTHER DAY
