Melee would be okay if they ban hungry box from the tournament. Dude is like the only reason why top 8 takes so long.

if they banned meta in brawl they should ban sheik, fox, falco, and marth in melee

I agree with this not just because I like seeing Wobbles get grabs but also because wobbling pisses off Melee players so, so much.

I'm okay with Marth players too since I used him

Hungrybox is one of the few reasons why Melee is enjoyable to watch and his playstyle actively trolls Melee fans so never. :colbert:

The only thing he trolls is non-melee fans because he's the only jigglypuff user

That honestly makes it more interesting because he's not playing a non-Falcon top tier character, and Jigglypuff is an inherently risky character to play with arguably the riskiest move in the game. Also Box himself seems like a chill dude from what I've seen of his Twitter. :shobon:

EDIT: Also he literally got booed at EVO last year due to playing so lame/defensively, of course he trolls Melee fans

I like when you combo into rest as jigglypuff but due to a random bug it does 50% of its normal damage and none of the knockback so you lose the game instead

For those who don't know, Jigglypuff is hard countered by Fox, which is why she's an uncommon character despite nominally being better than 3/4th of the cast. So Hungrybox's average tournament experience is beating back armies of Foxes. I have to be at least slightly with a player like that, even if he does wait out the timer.

They also peer pressured that Sabrewulf player into losing against that Kan Ra during KI top 8, too...

Basically gently caress the crowd.

A little bit. It was at the same venue a few years ago and it was mostly okay, my friends and I spent a lot of time on the strip regardless.

Personally can't wait for Melee to go two hours over its timeslot, making ESPN mad, only for a full on R. Mika buttshot to cause ESPN to pull the feed and launch a million thinkpieces.

Personally I'm writing stuff for Kotaku/Jezebel right now, just to be prepared.

Wiz tweeted that he has a plan in case the tournament is running late. He'll probably kick Melee off the main stage or something.

It is a good game but IMO it's hard to really know what's going on unless you play the game. It's not like SF where you can go "that guy jumped and the other guy anti-aired him, I get it".
