I've noticed since mango quit using jigglypuff and switched to Fox/falco he hasn't been performing as well, even though his spacies are among,if not, the greatest; And he still get's third or better, in large tournaments, everytime... ( one can argue Dr. PP's falco is better but, that's besides the point )

ANYWAYS, My question is what do you think would happen if Mango started using The character that made him famous. Jigglypuff. Would he do better than he already does?? Would he go back to 3-0ing Armada like in the first genesis?

Armada would go back to Young Link like against Hungrybox and Mango would rage because of Armada's "playing gay" and switch back to Fox, then Armada would switch back to Peach.

Mango has a large array of characters, How will Armada know who he will start with? Plus Mango's puff is a lot different then HBox. In my opinion.

Wrong.

Armada has the Ylink.
and Hbox's puff is better anyways

Hbox's puff is better suited for fighting Armada.
imo Armada could take mangos puff even with Peach

Mango's Fox can hang with Armada fine, I do think maybe he should try Falco though, or maybe even Marth. Mango Doesnt want to play slow characters anymore, he's all about the hype.

mango would say "**** this match up" and go fox or falco again

Mango could beat Armada with Fox, but I think it's unlikely(even then more likely than Falco), he may want to try with Falcon. Mango won't try Puff unless he gets the hunger to be number 1 again, and I don't think that's going to happen anytime.

I don't think Mango can beat Armada unless he plays patiently enough. His aggressive style just gets punished too often by Armada. The difference between him, and PP and HBox, is that PP and HBox have the ability to play smart and patient, and that's why their style simply does better against Armada.

I genuinely don't understand why he didn't go C. Falc, particularly when he claims (not saying I believe him) that he thinks he could have won Genesis 2 had he played Falcon. :p

Mango would have to practice hard to bring his Puff forward into today's metagame, in my opinion. Sometimes when he brings it out in doubles it still shines brilliantly, but other times it looks rusty as can be. Plus Armada's gotten that much better at this game in the intervening two years while Mango has barely touched Puff at all.

Also, as aforementioned, Mango doesn't seem to have the fire anymore, so I doubt we'll be seeing Mango rise to the top again.

(note to Mango, if reading: please prove me wrong about not having the fire anymore. I beg of you.)

So just because he doesn't win, he doesn't have the fire anymore?
Mango stated before the tournament that he didn't care if he won or not. I don't why you would think he still has the fire when he has essentially said that he doesn't.

Said "who cares?" when asked who he thought would win, claims he hadn't played since ROM4, etc. That doesn't seem like a man who gives two ****s about being better than Armada, HBox, PP, etc.

I think Mango's best bet against Armada is Falcon. Even Fuzzyness almost beat him, Mango should be able to, rofl. :awesome:

If he practiced the matchup he could do it with Falco but he hasn't seemed to wanna even wanna try the Falco vs Peach matchup since Genesis 1. I'd like to see him try Falcon but I don't think its happening.

Gosh. So much speculation in MD since Apex. Is it really that fun to talk about things of which we have no knowledge, nor a way of obtaining it?

It's not about fun, Shrouded. It's about making baseless claims so 6 months from now when someone chokes in tourney you can go "I told you so!" Of course the impending responses are filled with johns and more baseless claims about how the next tournament will go, and thus, the cycle of MD is started anew.

Well you do have to train a lot to keep up, I definitely felt that he wasn't as on point like at RoM 4 though sometimes he went nuts as hell... but I mean we all have our priorities and it's up to him to decide how he wants to live. It's certainly not anyone else's choice to decide how you guys want him to play.

Yeah, you're right. Well, time to just ride out the wave, I guess. Now, where are those chips....
