Same here, I don't think I would've started using Peach (and finding out how fun is her playstyle) if not for the dozens of great clips from Armada's Peach. It's sad to see him go, but hey, at least he hasn't retired from doubles. I can only congratulate the guy for one hell of a melee singles career.
Who is you? You're right, an era has ended. Personally I think a three-headed monster will emerge, and that consists of HBox, Plup and Leffen. I can be wrong, of course, but given this past year, I'd say it's more likely than not.
"Oh no, armada is about to win" That's one of my favourite commentators lines. Not really esports to cheer for 1 player, but it's so honest, he sounds like a kid watching his favourite show, being really into it and having fun. i love this
His legacy will live on in the annals of Melee forever. It may have been lonely on Mt. Olympus, but he accomplished all of his goals in the process. Good stuff to Armada and a wonderful video GRsmash!
I'll miss armada. Watching his Peach and Fox was always amazing. (I know that he'll still play doubles) also we'll never see a Genesis Armada Mang0 GF in the future anymore Feelsbadman
Armada has already won the series, Mango could never come back from a 3-1 deficit even if they were both still playing for the next couple years (Mango is probably next to retire).
Can't help but shed a tear. Armadas tournament play has been amazing to watch throughout the years and inspired MANY. Thanks for everything and we all hope to see him in singles again maybe someday.
For anyone wondering. i'm not entirely sure but i believe 1:12 was losers finals. what i am sure about is that Amsah put his controller down to clap for Armada's combo. it was the first craziest thing i had seen live. it was also 2009.
Armada was my favorite since day 1. Before he took over. So glad he got to where he has. Guy has it all, Combos, swag, tasteful taunts, edge guards, gimps, dude sees windows of opportunity that come out of all parts of the brain.
What an absolute legend. Thank you, Armada, for the years of beautiful competition and for breaking boundaries in Smash and esports as a whole. Looking forward to seeing what you do next (and watching your doubles play, of course)! Also thank you GRsmash, I don't get to tournaments much, so for several years now your channel has been where a large proportion of my Smash comes from. Keep up the great work!
13:24 This clip always kills me because it sounds like just one person in the crowd getting hyped on the Shield Break, and it's not until the kill combo where everyone else gets in on the hype XDDD
Armada, you make me discover the glory that was this game. You make me fall in love with Peach's potential, and since nearly a decade, she has been my main in every smash. Thanks to you, i've made friends, I discovered the competitive scene... This is your second retirement, and just like the first time, Im sad, despite not knowing you. I wish you the best, and again, thank you.
Armada is an amazing guy with a humble heart, I can't wait to see what'll happen in doubles. I can totally see him coming back for a couple majors as this old grandpa bringing out this technical Peach with new tech lol. You the best dude
the ending instantly made tears well up in my eyes. I'm lucky enough to have been watching smash for long enough to see entirety of Armada's career unfold and what a ride it has been. I doubt we will ever see a champion like Armada again.
Armada will never be forgotten and will forever be in smash history. His years playing this game were amazing, I'll miss him. Also that Peach trophy at the end almost had me balling :(
It is so easy to forget how incredible Armada was because he did it all the time. Watching this helps remind me just a little how incredible he truly was for such a long time.
He was never my favorite player, but I don’t think anyone can touch the run he’s had over his career. Quite simply the best to ever do it. The real GOAT. And honestly, the bar I’m sure I and every other Melee player wants to be.
I remember watching Beast 2015. Seeing Armada get a 4 stock after “meditating” was one of the most unreal moments I think I’ve ever seen in a gaming tournament. GGs Armada
The rankings of melee have seen some recent additions to the top (Plup, Zain) but the legacy of the Five Gods still stands as an immortal tribute to the five greatest players of all time. That was the era I got into melee, so each of the original Gods will always hold a place in my heart.
I like how in the shield break against Mango the announcer was like “Forward smash him, disgrace him!” Armada has way too much finesse to go for a boring forward smash.
Estaba comiendo pizza, y ví el final del trofeo de peach y Fox me hicieron llorar, verga, fueron hermosos momentos de gameplay que nos mostró armada, rayos :"3
That peach trophy at the end... I’m not crying you’re crying
I actually grabbed at my heart.
James yes, I'm crying
Won’t lie, I wasn’t ready for that.
But dude if that was falco to represent pp
And the fox in the background too
I can’t believe you made another Leffen gets bodied compilation
Lmao
He won Evo so we're good
Facts.
I think he actually bodied every god except M2K in this lol. But yeah, it was mostly leffen.
@@connorthornberg m2k 6-0ed him at pax, and followed that up with a 4 stock at paragon the next time they played
I like how everyone was cheering for mango but cheered when Armada won any way
That clip is great. I still lose it over xtra yung leff.
The Smash community can be respectful afterall. Unless you play puff~
Twas an upset.
@@participantx and young hax is in the clip
@@TehWhiteTiger thought you typed Adderall. Would make sense with leffen in the conversation.
4:15
Mikehaze sees leffen winning *I sleep*
5:48
Mikehaze sees leffen losing *I WOKE*
this deserves more likes
*EYE FLARE AND DEEP FRY*
Mikehaze when getting wobbled:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
He's the reason I started using Peach and why it's more important the player than the character.
Thank you for all the awesome years, Armada.
Same here, I don't think I would've started using Peach (and finding out how fun is her playstyle) if not for the dozens of great clips from Armada's Peach. It's sad to see him go, but hey, at least he hasn't retired from doubles.
I can only congratulate the guy for one hell of a melee singles career.
Armada is one of the reasons I like young link too
SAME
I am actually better with Puff right now, but I started using and practicing Peach thanks to Armada, her playstyle is so much fun.
Yvandres QR what happened? Did armanda die?
jacob nelson No. He retired from melee singles, he still plays doubles.
Haven’t clicked on a video this fast in a while. I’ll miss watching Armada in singles. He inspired me to play Peach and to get into Melee.
End of an era😥
Maybe we have the second coming of M2K? XD
well if Hbox leaves , 20XX is unavoidable BibleThump Armada brought diversity to Melee with his Godlike Peach
Who is you? You're right, an era has ended. Personally I think a three-headed monster will emerge, and that consists of HBox, Plup and Leffen. I can be wrong, of course, but given this past year, I'd say it's more likely than not.
Armada will be back. Calling it now.
It’s too early to be crying wtf GR
“My B”
@@buttermytoast. We got a comedian
"Oh no, armada is about to win" That's one of my favourite commentators lines. Not really esports to cheer for 1 player, but it's so honest, he sounds like a kid watching his favourite show, being really into it and having fun. i love this
That ending was beautiful! 😭
I Got Goosebumps BibleThump
Shed a tear at the end. Beautiful man, simply beautiful ^^
**Best player to ever touch a GameCube controller.**
Holy moly, did you really make me cry at the end?
IndexAske same
IndexAske cry baby
@@DavionLane nah
Armada spends half of a GRSmash video beating the crap out of Leffen
"OHHHHHHHHHHHH DID I WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN??!?!?!?!?"
Yes, Armada. You won. Congrats to the greatest
His legacy will live on in the annals of Melee forever. It may have been lonely on Mt. Olympus, but he accomplished all of his goals in the process. Good stuff to Armada and a wonderful video GRsmash!
I think you meant annuals?
@@genesisosuna I suggest consulting a dictionary.
@@silentdude56k nah I'd rather stay ignorant, after all being ignorant is the best way of living
Armada is now legendary and he will forever be remembered
In my opinion the greatest to ever play the game. We will miss watching you Armada. Good Luck with the future brudder!
That's fact, not opinion. (So far, anyway.)
Glad I got to play against him once, he will be missed
Almost cried when i saw the title of the video and then the thumbnail 😢😢😢 we will miss you (in singles) Armada 👊
2:28 android with the efficiency of shaking both hands at the same time
I'll miss armada. Watching his Peach and Fox was always amazing.
(I know that he'll still play doubles)
also
we'll never see a Genesis Armada Mang0 GF in the future anymore
Feelsbadman
It'd be nice if he made genesis an exception. It could be the one tournament he plays singles in.
Mango would never make Genesis gf so it doesn't matter
Armada has already won the series, Mango could never come back from a 3-1 deficit even if they were both still playing for the next couple years (Mango is probably next to retire).
Kotou
What happened
Give it up for the GOAT, you have set a standard that will be hard to beat by even the most committed of players, in _any_ game
I love how leffen gets up at 9:36 and wants to hug armada but doesn't want to look too desperate. It's wholesome and cute.
What a cute ship 😂
the double upair read on mango at 8:00 into full combo triple nair-plane into the blast zone for a four-stock is just ill-spirited
The real Goat of melee Armada.
Long live the GOAT
Oh wow, that trophy drop at the end. The feels.
Can't help but shed a tear. Armadas tournament play has been amazing to watch throughout the years and inspired MANY. Thanks for everything and we all hope to see him in singles again maybe someday.
That Peach and Fox trophy at the end ;-;
Congrats to Armada! I hope you enjoy your future endeavors :)
For anyone wondering. i'm not entirely sure but i believe 1:12 was losers finals. what i am sure about is that Amsah put his controller down to clap for Armada's combo. it was the first craziest thing i had seen live. it was also 2009.
That ending though...
Armada was my favorite since day 1. Before he took over. So glad he got to where he has. Guy has it all,
Combos, swag, tasteful taunts, edge guards, gimps, dude sees windows of opportunity that come out of all parts of the brain.
This is a great video. I really like the sentimental touches, like the win screen and letting the vod roll when he beat Mang0 the first time.
I was NOT prepared for that ending whatsoever, oh my gawd... ;n;
What an absolute legend. Thank you, Armada, for the years of beautiful competition and for breaking boundaries in Smash and esports as a whole. Looking forward to seeing what you do next (and watching your doubles play, of course)!
Also thank you GRsmash, I don't get to tournaments much, so for several years now your channel has been where a large proportion of my Smash comes from. Keep up the great work!
By 2:36, I was already holding tears from that passions. Dang.
Thanks for the memories, Adam.
i remember watching so many of these live. thank you for inspiring my young link.
13:24 This clip always kills me because it sounds like just one person in the crowd getting hyped on the Shield Break, and it's not until the kill combo where everyone else gets in on the hype XDDD
Armadas yell💀 2:23 So hype 🤣🤣Ive never seen him pop off like that before
I’m not crying, my eyes are sweating.
Nicely done GR. That end was absolutely perfect
Very beautiful to see moments from doubles and singles
Peace out leather jacket rocking brudder
Its official, Melee is over everyone.
This anime has ended.
This is just naruto and baruto shit
Scarfed! The first ark has ended. New gods shall rise.
Not until the other three Gods retire as well.
Mrperson0 I wouldn't say mango is still at God status, which leaves M2K and hbox.
This is just the end of the 2nd arc, _Gureto Fureio Sumasu Borasas Derakusu_ isn't over yet.
You did well, Armada.
Armada, you make me discover the glory that was this game. You make me fall in love with Peach's potential, and since nearly a decade, she has been my main in every smash. Thanks to you, i've made friends, I discovered the competitive scene...
This is your second retirement, and just like the first time, Im sad, despite not knowing you. I wish you the best, and again, thank you.
Damn, I think these type of videos will make Armada not want to quit.
Armada the Legend
Hahahaha armada on Marth is legendary
Theres going to be new players asking "Who's Armada?" Let that sink in. Oh just the greatest player of all time that all.
Armada is an amazing guy with a humble heart, I can't wait to see what'll happen in doubles. I can totally see him coming back for a couple majors as this old grandpa bringing out this technical Peach with new tech lol. You the best dude
the ending instantly made tears well up in my eyes.
I'm lucky enough to have been watching smash for long enough to see entirety of Armada's career unfold and what a ride it has been. I doubt we will ever see a champion like Armada again.
I love seeing armada team with his brother, it shows a bond that is not only rare, but invaluable in the smash community.
Best of all time. Not. Even. Close. What an inspiration. Thank you, Armada.
I can't believe he's done, I'm genuinely so sad... Let's hope he comes back
thank you for this video, we needed it
such a perfect ending, the feels man...
Damn. This was a little tougher to watch than I anticipated :(
Armada will never be forgotten and will forever be in smash history. His years playing this game were amazing, I'll miss him. Also that Peach trophy at the end almost had me balling :(
Thanks for the amazing times! I'm only 24 but I feel some nostalgia watching these lol
Armada beat classic mode, and now he's ready to start his adventure. Good luck, and great work.
that Genesis 2 celebration brings so much joy to my heart. Seeing Mango, Hax, Leff, Armada, Hbox, all so young
It is so easy to forget how incredible Armada was because he did it all the time. Watching this helps remind me just a little how incredible he truly was for such a long time.
This Armada guy's pretty good. Can't wait to see more from him in the future.
3:44 makes me really happy he said he's gonna keep playing doubles.
I love how much doubles is in this. Armada truly loves and enjoys doubles.
That ending, bruuuh. Gave me all the chills.
Really shows how far commentary has come
Thank you, Armada, for everything you've done for Melee.
He was never my favorite player, but I don’t think anyone can touch the run he’s had over his career.
Quite simply the best to ever do it. The real GOAT. And honestly, the bar I’m sure I and every other Melee player wants to be.
I remember watching Beast 2015. Seeing Armada get a 4 stock after “meditating” was one of the most unreal moments I think I’ve ever seen in a gaming tournament. GGs Armada
That is some amazing Peach work!
661 likes, 0 dislikes. I don't know if I've ever seen that before... truly a special player and person
3:00 that dash attack tho...
Also 9:40 the young Leff tho...
No words were said at 1:12 but you could just tell that fox was thinking his life over by how he was just staying on the respawn platform.
What a beautiful ending, well done GR
ARMADA THE TRUE GOAT. THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT GR
A legend from far away
13:23 one of my favorite commentator reactions
Great Video. Thank you for everything you've done Armada, we're gonna miss you
I'll always be impressed by the umbrella combos armada do
The absolute GOAT
Impressive.
I didn´t know he retired. I knew about him thanks to this channel.
13:53 where real men cry
THAT ENDING. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT TO ME I AM CRYING 😭
1:18
Rare footage of Armada looking completely contented with his career.
Foward Smash Him, DISGRACE HIM *hype intensifies*
The greatest to ever do it. Hope to still see Armada and brudder doing doubles
cheers, Armada. You are a legend
The rankings of melee have seen some recent additions to the top (Plup, Zain) but the legacy of the Five Gods still stands as an immortal tribute to the five greatest players of all time. That was the era I got into melee, so each of the original Gods will always hold a place in my heart.
9:40 baby Leff
Armada you will forever be one of my favorite melee players of all time. You will be missed! :')
That was me and my brother who picked up Armada after Genesis 2 for the Armada chant lol. He truly is the greatest of all time.
I like how in the shield break against Mango the announcer was like “Forward smash him, disgrace him!” Armada has way too much finesse to go for a boring forward smash.
Watching this on my iPad while Staff Roll from SM64 plays on my PC... the feels
The true GOAT of Melee. His legacy will always stand
Estaba comiendo pizza, y ví el final del trofeo de peach y Fox me hicieron llorar, verga, fueron hermosos momentos de gameplay que nos mostró armada, rayos :"3
The peach trophy 😭😭😭
I love Mew2king's little popoff in support of Armada in that first clip.
I really appreciate this video. Hopefully he'll comeback to singles one day but until then we can remember him through this.😢
