Grand Finals of Super Smash Bros Melee at EVO 2016

“You’ll be good, but you’ll never be the best”.

Sure proved him wrong

Almost 3 years later, and this is still one of my favorite moments in evo history, next to moment 37. The story of someone who was always falling short to victory, finally rising to the top. The emotion shown is priceless. He didn't think he would've won, but yet he did. Hungrybox deserved this win after everything he has done to win before. Even though I'm late to say this, congratulations, hungrybox.

HBox worked his ass off and succeeded after years of sitting on that stage to congratulate someone else. Super well deserved and way more entertaining than last year's finals.

EVO 2013: 3rd
EVO 2014: 2nd
EVO 2015: 2nd
EVO 2016: 1st!

The year of Hbox is finally upon us.

Whoever disliked this is either leffen or a very sad Armada fan. Love u hbox

[bighotman]

The genuine joy and emotion in Hbox at the moment he realized that he had won makes me so happy for him.

38:40-38:42
Its amazing how a person can look so focused and composed and after probably the most impactful victory of his career, all the emotions and years of struggle come out onto one stage and a 2 minute clip

"Ooooh and Hungrybox presses forward on the grey stick" is one of the best quotes in melee commentary history

[oniinu]

Armada looks destroyed omg. Poor guy. Looks like the era of Mango is done and HB is the new Melee king.

[ShaunInce]

Even though Smash isn't at EVO anymore, this Grand Finals is still legendary.

18:06 the most important single frame in smash history.

[joshuapatrick]

Honestly Hbox gets hate, but has evolved JigglyPuff from a ledge camper into a wicked bait/ juggle Counter character. It’s been interesting to watch his evolution over the years.

[depressed-human]

18:06 And now, the moment that changed Melee

[UltimateAHP]

Armada wearing that black jacket and then sitting there in disappointment after defeat really sold the hero vs villain concept going on lol

[heath]

18:46 that cheering gives me goosebumps

[kingrojin]

38:47 he did something most smash players can't do, a pushup

[ImCookieSparx]

Why did melee have to go .... EVO why.. this was such a beautiful moment for Hbox.... and was so emotional, it’s all gone... why..

[AdalHRivera]

EVO Melee is full of legendary sets/moments/stories, but I don't think this can be topped.

Hungrybox on the loser's side of Grand Finals. Armada pulls out two games from Hbox after he wins his own two games, a reverse 3-0 waiting to happen. Then, on game 5, Hbox clutches it out with the stray nair, resetting the bracket. On the second set, Armada again takes the lead and quickly gets two games again, and Hbox plows through with two games of his own. Once again on game 5, Armada finally chokes and Hbox is the one who comes out on top after 40 grueling minutes, a spectacular end to TWO consecutive last-game-last-stock sets.
