Event - Apex 2015 Favorite Apex 2014 Memories

[roxolid]

Post your favorite moments, players, matches, pictures, videos, etc. from Apex 2014 here!

I have to admit, aMSa won me over completely with his red yoshi and his backstory of only having played competitively for 1 year prior to the tournament. The first match I saw him play was VS DJ Nintendo... The hype was so, so real.

Here's one of his fantastic matches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQwi9C509qo

I'm interested in this, as I didn't watch Melee nor 64. Or doubles. Or the salty suite.
Yup, I did miss out on a lot of things xD

welcome player1! mango vs leffen was insane

Personally, I enjoyed PM Top 8 most. Armadas Arrow Gimps, Rolex' self-C4 -> up-air etc. etc. were hype! In Melee, I liked aMSa the most for being so good with Yoshi but also Melee Top 8 was a highlight.

this set

 

[The Real Gamer]

1) Anything that involved aMSa
2) Mango vs Leffen LSF (Melee)
3) M2k vs Armada GF (PM)

This year was hype in general... Tons of great moments/sets.

This.
Mango Leffen was the craziest set at the tournament.
Leffen could have took it out of nowhere in the 4th game, muster the biggest upset in recent years, and then Mango proceeds to evolve and 4-stock?

What a set.

The way mango finished the match was amazing. Probably the single most hype moment for me in Apex.

Or Dr. PP beating m2k in marth dittos on FD and PP 4 stocked him twice across all their matches.

I missed watching most of the matches, I was too busy playing random people, I got to play JCaesar, Zhime and Mew2King at least, there was also some really good Peach player that liked to smack talk, she was funny, I only remember her tag was hime

 

[pidgezero_one]

somerset diner was hype

 

[Curlz]

PM Grand Finals was so hype to watch! Had a blast this year!

Watching Mango go ham in his set with Leffen was pretty exciting.
And watching Isai demonstrate that Smash bros 64 is still "his" game.

I love that he's been around for as long as he has been and still maintains that numbah wun position.

brawl was less hype than every other game. 64, melee, and pm all had their moments, but brawl was this thing going on in the corner that no one cared about. smash 4 will be the end of brawl.

i was at apex and i can confirm that everything said in this thread is true. the amount of talent was so impressive in PM and Melee that i quit competitive smash after 8 years of playing it. I'm not good enough to compete.

also, amsaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This is similarly to how I feel. 8 long years of smash only to lose in pools in semis. I'm better suited using my skills streaming and staffing events.

This is in no particular order:

1) Finally getting to meet my favorite player Armada
2) Meeting new friends, reconnecting with old ones, and hanging out in their hotel rooms
3) Waking up a little late by accident on the 1st day only to find that the line has severely lengthened DX
4) Streetpass tag after Streetpass tag after Streetpass tag. I should've been checking more often, but I'm pretty sure I got well over 200 of them that weekend, even if I've gotten the same people more than once.
5) Friendlies with a few high level players. I've got a long way to go before I can consider myself high level. Practice makes perfect.
6) The warm welcome vibe I got from everybody. I felt very at home at this tournament that it only makes me want to come back year after year (only if I can).
7) Killing my throat during my screaming fits due to the excitement and thrill of watching intense matches.
8) Cheering on the Melee Top 8.
9) aMSa and his unexpected rise to the top. A Yoshi in 9th place makes me giddy inside.

Getting on my first livestream, having a beer with my favorite player (Germ), and that national anthem combo....wow

When Hugz beat PP in their first match I almost peed a little, also watching hax's fox was pretty good.

Like alot of people I'm going to have to say that leffen v Mango in losers was so Godlike, me and my friends were watching it live while playing friendlies and everyone stopped after Mango took the second stock. The instant leffen got dair'd we all jumped up and went ape****. It was pretty amazing.
