Hugs spitting that truth

HugS' commentary was beyond ********.

HugS' commentary was beyond ********.

You didn't listen to it all the way, did you. Here, let me link the part I was referring to in particular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm2LKbO5evo&t=13m35s onwards

Honestly, that video has probably one of my favorite commentaries of all time. It goes from Hugs being head over heels in love with Mango, to him calling him on his bull**** and being clearly disappointed in him. But I'm not surprised that you didn't understand that, or have the patience to actually watch the video.

 

[Mahone]

why did everyone hate on hugs commentary, i thought ken was just as biased but no one said **** about that

and idgaf if both of them were super biased, its melee commentary, what should they talk about instead, what l canceling is?

 

[KrIsP!]

They should talk about why brawl is bad. That's what people really need to know.

 

[PB&J]

freemahone


Mango- I dont care what you do,but just beat Armada with any character you go

 

[The Business]

why did everyone hate on hugs commentary, i thought ken was just as biased but no one said **** about that

and idgaf if both of them were super biased, its melee commentary, what should they talk about instead, what l canceling is?

because all new people know who ken was and don't know who hugs was.

 

[iRobinhoood]

I thought that commentary was cringe worthy. I think anybody could tell that. It wasn't the end of the world, it just wasn't enjoyable. My ears didn't bleed and I can still hear to this very day.

 

[Mahone]

im not gonna say its the best commentary, i just didnt think it was bad, i found it funny cuz it was just ****ing ken and hugs randomly commentating in 2012

 

[commonyoshi]

Some serious second grade reverse psychology going on in this thread, hahaha.

 

[Charlesz]

I thought Hugs' commentary was actually pretty funny.

 

[♡ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡]

kings of cali i didnt try in grand finals

You did

and you got outplayed

 

[oukd]

its reasonable that biased commentary is cringe-worthy for people who take melee commentary super serious ~_~ otherwise its pretty funny



also this thread is too much lol x_x using 'care level' to explain results is pretty much the ultimate defense-mechanism/rationalization john. the fact that mango cant vocalize whether he cares or not right now (and stick to his words) and has to wait until the results happen should say something to us. or he's just ****ing around with the community's emotions lmao

but i mean...at the same time nobody is expected to be super invested in melee 100% of the time so meh. i think everyone knows what it's like to drop your care during a set whether or not its via rationalization. sooo i wont complain if he says he doesnt care or w/e...

Spoiler

because regardless of all that pp will still take this 8D

 

[Max?]

This thread is beyond ********. Who cares?

Melee is dead

 

[MaskedMarth]

I'm not sure why "bias" would be a dealbreaker. If you're happy listening to people with long roots in the community chat over a video game, Ken and HugS gave you what you wanted. And if you wanted informative commentary, Ken and HugS obviously have nothing to say about today's metagame whether or not they're biased.

 

[jerflip]

because all new people know who ken was and don't know who hugs was.

I think it's because Mango clearly had home advantage, so Ken was playing devil's advocate by taking PP's side

 

[Xyzz]

This thread is beyond ********. Who cares?

Melee is dead

ya know... what is dead may never die ... :D

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

ya know... what is dead may never die ... :D

But rises again, harder and stronger

 

[Metal Reeper]

Im really hoping M2K places well I love him more than the other top 5. I just hope he doesn't meet Wobbles in bracket again.

 

[JPOBS]

Kirbykaze for top 3

 

[Xyzz]

But rises again, harder and stronger

I would've gone with faster and even more technical here

@S2J: As long as were clear that 1.6 is clearly the worst of the versions that are fun to play, everything is fine. 1.3 is the one I started playing with, so I'm kinda nostalgic to it in particular, but 1.5 was great as well (and probably the version I've spent the most time playing) :D

@Caring or not caring - Mango: I don't particularly care. Even if Mango claims to not try, he's still entertaining to watch <3
Although if somebody doesn't care, and fails to win for that reason he's just as good or bad as somebody who does want to do better but can't do so for whatever reason. The only thing determining player skill to me is some average over his recent tournament results (median / average mean / some weird mixture... I don't really go for a scientifically sound method, just gut feel )... if I can't expect Mango to care, I expect Armada / Peepee to win, which makes them the better players.

 

[outofphase]

mango going falcon doesnt mean he wont win. it just means he will prove himself greater than even isai

 

[Divinokage]

It's time for me to get at least 7th. I will do it with my secret techs!

 

[KrIsP!]

There's no secret, you just press L or R 20 frames before touching the ground.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

It's time for me to get at least 7th. I will do it with my secret techs!

So you're going Fox?

Smooth Criminal

 

[KrIsP!]

He's going Falco, actually.

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

So you're going Fox?

Smooth Criminal

No, he's just going to use Fair.


Outside of the game

 

[Divinokage]

If someone trashtalks me too much then... Fair!

 

[Battlecow]

I just feel bad for Battlecow being so nice and then getting **** on

for real lol

watch him get 17th and not make enough to pay me back for his entry fee

and then die of alcohol poisoning the next weekend

also lol @ the people who "don't blame mango" because "his fans are so bad." I mean, begging the dude's kind of obnoxious, but he straight up said "I'm going to go all falcon unless you beg me" lol

 

[Dr Peepee]

wait mango's going all falcon?

say it ain't so!

 

[Landry]

Nah, he'll probably play Falco/Fox/Falcon he's just trying to establish the "I don't care" johns early.

You're gonna body him either way.

 

[Battlecow]

He said he was, then that he was unless people begged him not to, then who knows

basically he'll do what he does and he's gonna get 3rd/4th place

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Who else wants to see Mango Link vs Armada Young Link?

 

[MaNg0]

going marth


yol0


but in all honesty ill play whoever the crowd wants me 2

since ill prob not care

might as well play what you guys want me 2

 

[AppleAppleAZ]

lol Mango that one was good.

edit: the crowd better ask for puff

 

[Mahie]

going marth


yol0


but in all honesty ill play whoever the crowd wants me 2

since ill prob not care

might as well play what you guys want me 2

What if the crowd wants you to win ? Will you ? Or is that too much to ask for?

 

[KrazyKnux]

It's time for me to get at least 7th. I will do it with my secret techs!

Maybe he's gotten some sense and learned to shield drop? It's about time! =D

 

[Tarv]

Mango should choose random every match. If he doesn't care about winning, I think this would be the most entertaining option.

 

[MaNg0]

ROFLLL im only talking like this cause i havent practiced.. so if apex was 2morrow id get spanked


but ima go up to norcal and practice a lot


so should be all gravey


unless i end up playing cs go the whole time
