What an eventful set. In addition to the nail biting playing from both of them, the constant audio issues, Melee lore exposition, getting the 4995 achievement, and the ending... Feels like a classic to me.
@@carlosMendozartx I think you mean Big House 7 but yeah, I agree. Maybe I'd say their back-and-forth rivalry goes back to Summer 2017 when Plup took his first major Fox set at CEO. I wanted to point out how they've met so many times from Genesis 5 to 6 and I doubt we'll be seeing less of these two this year as well Well, until Plup decided to take a break, anyways :(
Leonel Remille Melee won’t die while people like Hbox remains as the “guys to beat”, Axe and aMSa push their characters to their limits, Zain and more new comers start winning, and more. Genesis 6 was an amazing tournaments because of the sets, players, and story it contained. I think 2019 will be a hard yet good year for Melee.
As Omni put it, one player cannot kill a game the size of melee, and also that the smash documentary has basically immortalized melee. As long as people are willing to watch, which they will always be, then melee will thrive.
What? I thought it was incredible. Putting up stats right away. Having instant replays right away. Etc. My friend and I even commented on it in audience. lol
@@teapot55 Did you even watch the set? The players had no audio. They couldn't hear anything from their headsets so they ended up just taking them off.
@@SuperScoops Yeah, that was terrible. I was on the ground floor, and forgot about that. I also just watched some of the sets on stream. Very poorly lit. That's pretty bad.
Oh yeah and the stream lagged quit a few times as well, idk what happened this year that there were so many problems with production. This Genesis was so wack.
Plup ended up having a mediocre 2019 for his standards. I wonder how things would have changed had he won this set. Maybe he wouldn't have been so on tilt for the rest of the year.
21:49 The EXACT moment Plup decided he was taking a break from Melee lmao. You have to play perfectly the entire set whereas the Puff doesn't. Having to lose like that in practically every set vs Hbox is a kind of tilt only the top 5 will every know.
Plup actually flubbed so much that match he kinda deserved the loss honestly. Any character would've punished just as hard. Not to mention he missed a pretty easy up throw uair when he was still second stock :/
@@Sabbathfaax That up throw up air is FAR from easy. Requires a perfect dash back and then landing the second hit of up-air. He still played out of his mind up until the very end.
@@Prodigial Both players clearly flubbed a lot dunno what ur talking about. in general way less clean gameplay than G5. Can't blame them since they played without headsets tho
I feel like the tech issues were enough to completely invalidate this set. It's akin to asking a guy to scream in the players' ears for this set and conduct every other set in a soundproof room.
I love Ultimate with all my heart but Melee gameplay is just something special man (p.s. I think Ultimate will be around for a LONG time. Its gameplay is different, but still ridiculously technical and entertaining in its own right)
@@zackolot respected, all this fox players, falco, shiek, marth, none of them can seem to stop hbox, not only that, no other puff has done the same, he deserves to be respected for being the greatest
@@MagneticSSBM Not even Hbox respects Hbox. He honestly believes he has no shot of winning if he were to give any other top player jigglypuff practice. He also constantly makes excuses if he does lose. He went on a tirade about how hard puff loses to Marth ONLY after Zain beat him once. He makes similar rants about how Puff loses hard to Falcon and even Yoshi. I'm sure if Axe won Genesis, Hbox would complain about his character losing to Pikachu.
@@zackolot and still he is still winning, if i am winning tournaments left and right why the hell would i give practice to other people to beat me are you even thinking? Lmao so what if he cries about everything he still wins and dominates consistenly, unlike axe or others that have been around for a long time and they still can't take sets from hbox
@@MagneticSSBM If he constantly whines when he loses and can't trust himself to win if his opponent has practice against his character then he sounds more like a bitch than a respectable person.
I find it kind of cute how the top players change their characters that are 60-40 or 50-50 to jigglypuff to fox who is arguably 40-60 to her, just to lose consistently with a better match-up, and then cry about how jigglypuff ia broken. I think they should stick to their mains, Zain beat hbox that way, Axe gave him a run for his money, also. The thing is just that Hbox is better than you at the moment, guys. He's not even way better than all the top players, as most of them are closing the gap, but, why whine and talk about bans if you can't win with a winning match-up.
Supertaldo916 Dude, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Shiek into puff would be a nightmare, it’s legit 70-30. Fox into puff is 70-30, on paper fox destroys puff.
I never understand why he pops off like that. When he won evo sure but cmon now you're the best now. No reason to pop off when everyone already knew what would happen, puff would get a lucky gimp in a last stock scenario
@@antfayden After winning such an unbelievably close and inconveniencing set, he wasn't popping off for anyone but himself. Considering that, in all likelihood, you're not the best in the world at anything, I think that it's a pretty big leap for you to even try to understand why he pops off like that.
The only thing I like about Melee’s toxic ass community is HBox and the salt he builds from his plays. Love the game but seriously seriously hate melee elitists
Screw all these negative comments, you aren't part of the smash community. Take your toxic crap elsewhere, every top player keeps the game alive another year. Both players killed it!
@@BitchChill bruh thats every community, we DON'T have to like certain players at all. If the melee community is toxic then the ult community is literally dog shit bruv.
Plup always gets this far. I just think he needs to adjust his mentality when he is on the brink of victory. He just wants it to be over quick. He needs to just keep playing and dont look at the victory until it's over
He pops off so hard because winning is the only thing he enjoys about the game. His style is not fun to play or play against. I'm sure he hates himself but is addicted to winning. That's not passion for the game it's extreme insecurity manifest in an inflated ego. He will pop like a balloon.
Geez why do you gotta spread hate like this just cuz you dont enjoy watching Hbox's puff? He obviously plays the character because he enjoys playing it and while many ppl in the community may not like puff, there are people that do and you can't just disregard that. Plus isn't playing to win the whole point of competition? Like wut?

21:50 origin of the "GA" gif
Does anyone know what happened with the headsets? Plup and hbox looked super upset about it
The audio stopped working probably
They totally said it like 2 or 3 times in the video
the audio was either choppy, lagging or not working at all which distracted them
Please don't let this game die.
Regardless of how much I love this game, time passes and eventually people move on. It’s just how things go.

take your time and relax, Plup. You have the fighting spirit, so we know you’ll be back when we need you most.
is it just me or do people underestimate how entertaining hbox and jiggs in general really is? please reply if you've thought about this.
