What Happened to HMW?

[.Cloud.]

He definitely had a hand in keeping smash alive and then he stopped commentating all of a sudden. I know he still plays but what happened to commentary? It made smash much more interesting to watch. Does anyone know his reasons behind stopping?

 

[Shadow Huan]

too much hate for his restless, complaint filled commentary at Genesis 2 maybe?

 

[DerfMidWest]

I feel like he's less hype now, and that's really what made his commentary, tbh.
If you look at his older commentary and his more recent, the hype just wasnt there as much in the recent stuff.

I feel like he cares about the game less, and thusly, provides less hype.

Ignore the guys above. Brandon still loves Melee and he still plays fairly often.

He's just busy and **** w/ work and life.

He's just busy and **** w/ work and life.

Also, he's facing equipment problems so he can't do things on his own

this guy's prob right

but from an outside perspective, stupid people were giving hella hate for his commentary at genesis 2.

silly noobs saying "we want professional unbiased commentaryyy"
...for an underground smash game that's run by the members of the community

one could argue waffle's selfmade commentated smash videos was one the major impacts that revived melee back in 08-09.
his hype and commentary could be what snowballed melee into what it is now

if EVO actually happens, then i'll push for professional commentators lol

Why would one argue that? Ad hominem remarks could be the only thing to keep the argument alive LOL

**** that, waffles should commentate every event. wombo combo is one of the most known hype moments in video game history for a reason. his commentary at genesis 2 was fine, by the way.

That Wombo Combo video made me aware of the smash scene, and some of his videos hyped me up. I want more.

I literally wouldn't be playing today if it weren't for waffles.
And looking at the Kings of Cali stream, the only reason Ken went to a smash event for the first time in 5 years was because he is a waffles fan and wanted to commentate.

 

[UlyssesTheTrojan]

Ken clearly a better smash player than commentator, man.

 

[Twinkles]

I dunno what you're talking about man, I watched the stream of the tournament I was at just to see his commentary and was not disappointed lol.

 

[UlyssesTheTrojan]

"I dont know man, LISTEN...listen-PEEPEE's GOT THIS"

"I dont know man, LISTEN...listen-PEEPEE's GOT THIS"

I don't know man, LISTEN... I definitely enjoyed seeing a melee legend come back and be goofy and hyped up about the game I love.

 

[rjgbadger]

getting his grown man on?
