To be honest I think many Y links lives on their opinion cause they haven´t played against Puffs that understand the MU

Y link **** puff when Puff have no idea what she should be doing.
When both know it becomes much more to even even if I think Y link have a good MU at big stages and even or something at small stages

It might turn into kind of a mess, cause a lot of misunderstandings, what with the way his English is...

But if he feels like he can communicate, he should DEFINITELY give it a try.

He could just get someone to edit it before it's posted.

I could translate it for him if he wrote it in Swedish. Lots of other people probably could as well. Would be awesome!

Thank you Based Mimi.
Yeah from what I've seen, Armada's English skills are fully capable of writing something like this. It's just about how willing he is.

Falcon comes to mind, which I’m pretty sure I could have beat him with.
Armada, Did you play friendlys sometime with mango. Falcon/peach ?
i'm curious about why Mango think his Falcon can counter your Peach.

My favorite part was at the end where he starts johning about why he lost but claims hes not johning. I just hope mango doesnt really mean half the **** he says cuz if he does that would make him one of the most egotistical, selfcentered, johning, disrespectful a-holes to ever play the game. Hopefully he is just saying most of this just for laughs or psychout/mindgames, but even then... Idk.
Ive never met the guy, maybe he s really nice irl, but I think when you are a leader in the community (whether u want to be or not) and ppl look up to u, you need to set an example with ur words and actions, not continuosly talk **** about opponents who beat u fair and square. Hell, he prolly doesnt give a **** what ppl think so w/e.

On a side note, I would LOVE to see a blog from armada, pp, zhu, taj, and other top players that actually have respect for the game amd the people that play it.

Mango is melees god, so hes allowed to have a "complex" but really all it was is the best player in the world breaking down his mistakes like he would in his mind, then putting it online for us to read.


I love people and the media. We want people who are great at what they do to talk about it -> they do -> morons verbally castrate for them being honest.

this blog was just a sliver of what goes on inside his head when he plays. He doesnt owe it to anyone to be nice and censor what he actually THINKS in his mind when he plays the game he loves and is great at. I doubt any of it was a personal attack toward anyone specifically, its just what he thinks. Its what the greatest player in the world thinks about his opponents, his opponents that to him are inferior. This is pure uncensored mango.

Take it or leave it.


(many more posts to come btw) =)

Well, if there's one thing to take out of all of this, is that Mango 100% embraces America's ideal of freedom of speech. Can't take anything away from him on that account when it comes to being uncensored. Just as it's just as good for others to object to how he carries himself, godlike or not.

@ Roneblaster

One can see it like that, but there's a difference, really. For example, our top players when we face one another? They know they're good. They're salty when they lose to one another if it goes back and forth. But the difference here is when they say to themselves "if I just did this... I could have changed things." The way one carries themselves with a sense of humility in losing or winning, it shows self-criticism and bettering yourself from it. That's not arrogance or cockiness.

Mango's blog, to me, sounds a lot more like he knew what he had to do but just didn't do it, and used the crowd and trying to please them as an excuse for ****ing up and losing. Instead of humility? He goes on saying how if he did this instead, guaranteed he'd be destroying someone. I suppose it's just a more uncensored method of self-criticism there, but it takes away from the victories that others managed to get over him, no matter how much he tries to say otherwise and how they "deserved" the win.

Maybe he really would have won if he had done the things he talked about instead of how Genesis 2 played out, but really? Nobody truly knows that for certain. Who knows if Armada would have been prepared for Mango's Fox, Jiggs, Falco, Falcon, whomever he used when fighting to win instead of fighting to please. What's done is done and it really should have been left at that with props to the victor, to me.

He's a crowd pleaser, no doubt about it. But I don't think being the best at this game is a righteous enough excuse for just how much he looks down upon everyone else he plays (save for M2K who he fears. lol) competitively.

Again that's just me. And I'm a much bigger fan of the more humble people that can still back up their talent. Looking forward to reading in on other blogs too though, be it from other players or whatever.

Before anybody gets the wrong idea, I mean when it comes to playing the game. Not looking down on others as people. :p

people who don't like it should stfu and just ignore it so that the rest of us can enjoy what else he has to say about the game.

I would be really disappointed if he stopped blogging because a few people in the community was hating on him for it.

I honestly don't care about if its "freedom of speech" for others to voice their disapproval of him. My greater concern is that he just gives up on it entirely because some people keep badgering/belittling him for his opinions.

I'd rather continue read mango's cocky posts about the game, than have to settle for more swf bs opinions about how he should behave.

The "no johns" mantra is an amazing thing and I think we're lucky to have it so deeply rooted in our community, but when it comes to assessments of your own performance, there's nothing wrong with saying "if I didn't make these mistakes that I got punished for, I would have had a better chance of winning."
It may seem like a john, and maybe it is, but it's still true. In fact, I think everyone should look at their own performance in this way after losing a match (and probably also after winning one).

Yeah if people wanna read about my experience from Genesis/something else I would love to give you guys something to read about it =)

About my English: Yeah I know my English have a lot od room for improvement so if someone think someone from Sweden should translate my text I can ask cause I think they would be happy to help out =)
Nah you just need someone to do proofreading, unless you prefer to write in Swedish.

Why aren't people allowed to like it? Are people supposed to just blindly hang off of Mango's every word? LOL

I'm not hating on the guy. If I did, I would be a **** about it and be mocking him or whatever. Dunno if this was directed at me or not, but I'm not here to cause any commotion. Guess to quote you, if you don't like what I said? Ignore it. Spoke my mind and that's about it really. Just like Mango did.

I hope Mango doesn't stop the blogs either. Insight on match-ups and all is great to hear from such talented players. That, and I doubt he'd stop just because one guy whose no different from anybody else disagreed. :p

Mango has said on lots of occasions that he hates the community and he hates the way people talk about him. Look at how he opens this blog, he basically says "i quit playing seriously for 1.5 years because no one appreciated me anymore and just talk s**t all the time." Thats 1.5 years we missed out on prime melee because this community is so lame.

All I'm saying just let the dude be himself and stop berating him for it, his insght is valuable no matter how he frames it, and pretty much everyone is tired of hearing "omg mango is so cocky wat a douche"

edit for harshness

just fyi for people, the reason hes participating in this as far as posting in the blog is because he wants to post about technical **** about melee and enlighten people from his point of view, and because hes banned from smashboards.

and i thought it would be a better place for his incoming info dumps

I think it will take more than a few bad posts to scare him away this time personally. He seems pretty into talking to everyone about his Melee ideas the one time we discussed it last week or whenever it was haha.

mango doesn't owe the community anything
we're all just players playing a game
he's good at that game, that doesn't give him responsibility, it's there if he wants it, but he's not required to take it and nobody should expect it from him

i think everyone just wants some godlike player to come out and tell everyone the secrets to being good at this game

it's not going to happen, it can't happen, you can only be told so much stuff before it starts becoming evident that it's now what you know but how you can apply what you know

so get off mango's case, he can act however he wants if he can back it up, honestly this community lacks trash talk & drama so if you're offended by his post consider yourself lucky and blow it out of proportion more please

personally, i don't care for mango myself, but he doesn't owe me or anyone anything.

He was permanently banned.

The mods asked him if he wanted to be unbanned, but he didn't accept.

Mango can john 'til the cows come home. He's definitely got mad salt to settle with Armada, and I'm sure he will be going at it 100% to be ready to take him on next time. Hopefully he can prove to everyone, including himself, that he isn't just a crowd pleaser, and that he's got what it takes. I doubt Armada, as well as PP, Hbox, and co. are willing to sit back and let him run them over though, so I guess we're just gonna have to let the chips fall where they may, and just enjoy the ride. ^_^

If Mango can't do it with any of his characters, it doesn't really matter if Armada used only one lol

(Though Mango probably could...and will)

I hope mango really gets serious this time.

Mango is like Usian Bolt. He can win if he wants to.
