also hbox didnt approach, examine the vids more carefully.
This. He only approached when he was down in percent. Some games he went into planning to time Armada out, I believe he was the one who went to DL64. Armada picked Battlefield and Yoshi's for the most part.

Young Link for the most part needed to approach with projectiles, Armada looked for hit confirms off close boomerangs or bombs to lead into an aerial. Approaching with much else just wasn't safe for Young Link against Puff.

You're still a fantastic player regardless of whether I'm a fan or not, keep it up.

Wait. Are you seriously saying that Hbox didn't approach the entirety of GFs (save for being down in percent)? Are you blind? I just watched the whole thing today, and he was approaching each game in the first set AT LEAST, irrespective of having a lead. Geez. It can't be that difficult to see.

Haters want to see what they want to see.. just let them talk ****. No matter what they say, it's Hbox that got 2nd place and making mad $$$$ not the scrubs.

Anyways there's a ****load of reasons why Hbox is that good, he has skills, spacing, reactions.. etc. I don't think many people understand what makes him so strong.

Just watched the set (again) and I am incredibly impressed with both players for keeping it up for that long. Even just watching that wore me out and I found my mind wandering at times. I can't imagine how taxing it was on the actual players. The fact that they were able to keep it up for that long at that level of play deserves props. Focused as hell.

Hbox, For starters I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to meet you, especially when you did the light show in the Arizona/Canada/Florida room/ Oh My God, hilarious... and a true talent.

Also, true enough, that grand finals was not the most entertaining in the world, but it was a good display of zoning, spacing and sheer intelligence. Congratz on second place, thats still an incredible feat, considering people had you pegged at 4th/5th.

Next time let KirbyK win though ;) <--Just kidding, fair is fair, fight to the death etc etc.

Skill? Spacing? Reaction? Wtf is that ****?

Idk what tournies you've been watching, but puff players always place top 5 no problem. Puff is so broken and takes non of that skill stuff.

Nice job making top 5 Idea, RoH, Kebler, and other puffs that went. All those non y.link players are so free.

Hbox got a legit puff, beating Mango when he is tryhardmode, currently only 2 players do that. I´m actually glad matches are played out this way, that way more stages might be added again^^

I saw Hungrybox approach while being up an entire stock in one of the matches. He did not only approach while he was down lol. Also when you plan to time some one out, you still have get the lead and in that matchup it meant Hungrybox had to plan out an approach. Sometimes its as if you guys see Hungrybox is in the match and figure based on his past history that he's automatically never approaching.

I love that name because it means cake in Danish. Can't help but thinking of cake when I read it.
As a matter of fact, I just had a cake today!
