That's probably the biggest one you'll find.

Strong Badam · May 30, 2012

I thought Shroomed & Neighborhood P did a $100+ one.

This, for $200

Though I remember reading somewhere about a $1000 MM where one player got bodied, but I have no idea if that actually happened.

Edit: =(

Hax · May 30, 2012

there would be a $500 one if leffen wasn't a *****

Beat! · May 30, 2012

the callout

enCouRaging Bear · May 30, 2012

I would pay good money to see that mm
payperview

damn $200 is pretty hype but nowhere near marvel status

are there any stories behind these mms? callouts ****-talking etc?

Lovage · May 30, 2012

sorry to break everyones boner

but jkun vs. tgl was only like 20 bucks, after all da sidebets it was 200+ but the MM itself was pretty small we just wanted to hype something up in socal LOL.

great set btw

another $200 mm set

I think they changed the title from 1.500 to 150.000 because too many people were asking if this was true or not haha...

Bing · May 30, 2012

If there was a 500$ mm... I'd HAVE to put sidebets down... I mean that ****s gotta get hyped up!

UltiMario · May 30, 2012

This thread reminds me how comparatively poor the smash community is.

$42,000 clockwork vs neo including sidebets.... we're a long way from that.

I recall seeing something like $1200 with side bets somewhere before, but I don't recall what. Not sure if it actually even happened or not ._.

Violence · May 30, 2012

And who can forget...

What baffles me is that after losing this set 4-1, they accepted a 20 dollar money match against HomeMadeHax. Yeah, let's play the same team we lost to, with the other half of the top 2 of each character. That'll end well.

Hax · May 30, 2012

LOOOOL that's pretty funny violence

yeah nobody knows that waffles and i won an MM vs them right after

So Far (winners highlighted):

Jkun vs. TheGreatLeon
$200

You should only include matches where the players themselves are putting up all the money involved. Like Lovage said, these guys only put like $40 on the line by themselves.

enCouRaging Bear · May 31, 2012

well then i need more facts about the other matches as well because something tells me the
majority of the money in those matches are sidebets as well.
does anyone know if the players put up all the money for the
Dieslow v. BluntedObject and BBQ v. Billy mms?

so is this for 150 euros? (with or without sidebets?)

Jockmaster · May 31, 2012

That BBQ MM set was pretty good, I remember watching it a while back and thinking that I mentally couldn't play to the best of my ability with that kind of money on the line

No, I think this was just a friendly, or maybe a 2€ MM, but they named the video like this to troll Youtubers.

Mahie · May 31, 2012

That money match was for a couple euros, yeah, there was no intention to troll, X17 uploaded it that way candidly and then some people read too much into it, of course it wasn't 1.5k or 15k or anything like that.

I reckon the highest MM to date is that Marth ditto between Jkun and TheGreatLion, 200$.

Someone should take it to the realm of 4 digits, really. Like the Top 2 of a major event should just MM the price for 2nd place right after GFs or something, that'd be crazy to watch.

Bing · May 31, 2012

Only issue with that is that it would sort of be obvious who the winner would be lol

Mind you, anything can happen in melee!

Assuming A beats B in WFs, then B beats A twice in GFs, and they're all 3-2s, it'd be hard to tell who'd win the next set... It could be hype.

Bing · May 31, 2012

Ahh that is a very good point. Regardless seeing like a 300$ MM would be pretty awesome...

Never underestimate the salty MM. NEVER.

Battlecow · Jun 4, 2012

All those Marvel MM's for $50,000 or whatever are all sidebets. The players themselves often have nothing or relatively little on the line. So if we were doing MM's the FGC way, we'd include all sidebets in the amount of the MM, and we'd say "$400 MM" if each side had $200 on the line instead of saying $200 like we mostly do now.

False. The $42k sidebets Neo vs Clockw0rk match, for example, had $15k on the line between the players themselves. People wouldn't be sidebetting that much if the players themselves had "nothing or relatively little on the line", because you have to be sure they have good reason to play their heart out.

Lovage · Jun 4, 2012

yea, that was our intention of advertising it as a "200 dollar moneymatch" because when we made the hype thread we rallied together like 200 worth of sidebets LOL. so yea we basically copied marvel and it WORKED cuz that set was hype and fun as hell. it made that tournament in fact.

enCouRaging Bear · Jun 5, 2012

there is even more on the line if your buddies/people who believe in you are putting their money on you imo
depends on the person i suppose and how much money you can throw around

JonnyW · Jun 5, 2012

S2J vs Kage 100mm

How can a money match thread happen without this (rest of set in related vids or just find it in the account)

Your third sentence is blatantly incorrect, your second sentence betrays faulty understandings of the words "relatively" and "often," and your first sentence is a mite too self-assured, given the content of the two following it.

In the $50,000 Fanatiq vs. Toan MM, for instance, or the $13,000 one preceeding it, Fanatiq had precisely $0 on the line. People will back you if they know you well and know that you'll play your best.

The Star King · Jun 8, 2012

Source? I couldn't find anything on how much was between them, except one random post saying there was a few thousand on the line.

Battlecow · Jun 8, 2012

The dogface interview with fanatiq.

Here's part 6, IDK which part it's in but he mentions it a couple of times.
