Melee

24 years later, and this is still the most technical platform fighter in existence, if not one of the most technical fighting games.

A toast, to Melee. A celebration of its life and legacy.

I miss Summit so much

Its the same 5 fucking characters going at it bro, for TEN fucking years

Yoshi

DK

ICs

Peach resurgence

Meanwhile Falcon and Samus have completely fallen off the face of the earth. The meta has been changing.

I thought Full Bloom was a decently large regional, but it's basically fucking empty

Ay, hell yeah! I love Melee, nothing beats its atmosphere and visual design. It feels just as comfy to sit down with as it feels hype to actually play. Been playing a ton of Project+ with friends lately myself; it's so fucking fun. Something about the technical depth and potential chaos of the game appeals to me so much; I can super wavedash as Samus and all yeah but that tech is as good for surprise atracks as it is shitposting violently all over a match by teleporting all over the stage. I grind not only to increase my skill but also my shitpost tech. The game is fucking hilarious and there's nothing else that offers that for me.

Hax lost.

This post is too sincere. It scares me. What a threatening aura...

Mew2king is gonna speak at the funeral, this is gonna be bad

speak.png - 595x124, 12.84K

I went to Full Bloom before. It was huge and packed with tons of people. So it must be the tranny murderers who have destroyed the community so only the sickest demented tranny murderers remain.

Ultimate bracket has like 40 people and is being streamed from a broom closet. Melee has Aklo and every other top player canceled, even the ones who aren't at Hax's funeral.

Smash discussion is often shrouded in spite, often from people who kind of just hate the game or have a negative view of its community, or even from players just feeling entirely done with it all. I wrote that post feeling like I might not be part of the usual vibe but I genuinely do love playing Smash. It's one of my favorite games ever.

We had a single young link in top 100 for a year if that counts for anything

This whole Hax$ thing just makes me wish I still had Melee bros to play with. They all got married or moved and whatever else happens with life, and I never got into Slippi.

Based video game player and enjoyer. I love P+ too but I don't have friends to play locally with at the moment, and Brawlback is never coming out.

everything is trannies

I went to IU Bloomington for college. The local scene was decimated by Covid and didn't recover.

The Moon sighted. I haven't seen this guy since 2020.

la luna.jpg - 798x449, 114.19K

just download slippi. it's way better than meeting up with stinky retarded trannies to play. trust me. zomg there might be .1 ms of input lag compared to a crt. good, who gives a fuck, that mogs the fuck out of a room of insane stinky tranny fucking retards that you can't get along with no matter what because they are ACTUALLY RETARDS so it's like trying to be friends with a fucking stinky evil retard. slippi fucking mogs infinitely.

they're playing a set where D1 says "Leffen sucks"

My soul is healing

tony.gif - 368x348, 2.49M

sure thing bud

Slippi unironically killed Melee. It can't be overstated the impact of on demand rollback Melee on the development of the meta game and ceasing of "normal" people from going to in person tournaments.

covid was perpetuated by trannies who liked wearing masks because it hid their male facial structure and was *socially acceptable* (by force)

Oh yeah, I forgot everyone is a tranny now. Back when I went to tournaments, no one was a tranny yet, and actually Smash tournaments smell better than Friday Night Magic. My bros were actual people though. Probably why they got married.

Everyone is hugging DJ Nintendo. The TOs' narrative that he's a dangerous misogynist is being destroyed on camera.

Another victim of the tranny witch hunt

I somehow doubt you went to college.

yeah, back when I was going they weren't trannies yet. but all of the stinky faggot hate-able retards trooned out i found out. except 1 kid that was really young but he was extremely good and definitely just got groomed so not really his fault for getting groomed.

I feel you, man.
Been in love with the franchise ever since I rent it the first time for the N64. Anticipated Melee‘s release and it might be the first game I‘ve been hyped and the one I‘ve possibly been most hyped about ever since.
And it delivered. I remember playing after school up to 10pm the day I first got my hands in it, with a frienxd (I remember I didn‘t have a Gamecube memcard yet). I was expecting some Nintendo characters but not that girl-looking blue-haired dude with a sword.
Also remember checking out their website for Brawl updates and reveals. I‘ve since slowly fallen off from the series despite having played Ultimate quite a bit. Nothing compared to the Melee era.
I may just play it a little now, but this series is possibly my favorite one.

DJ Nintendo is there too.
It's cool that they still went to Hax's funeral despite the community backstabbing them.

yes i did opt out of paying tens of thousands for Marxist propaganda

Let's play some Team matches on Hax's honor

#CHAN

hbox talking with DJ Nintendo

He's going to be the first one to do those mediation sessions and get let back in the scene, isn't he?

based

The seeds for the current cesspool that is the current Melee scene were planted long before Slippi was even conceived. The issue of cliques dominating competitive scenes isn't even exclusive to Melee or Smash just look at the FGC.

I sure wish Brawlback did come out because P+ is a bomb ass game. It's the only one that'd make me get off of Rivals 2. That and maybe better netcode for Ultimate because I like Ridley, but that is never happening

Both of these guys got cancelled. something about fucking a lot of girls (not underage ones)

it was good for the game but it killed the community

don't sandbag against me you ganon fuck

this is making me sad now, what a retarded ass scenario to have happen. bunch of faggots raping a community of quirky but well meaning guys

community is a bunch of evil trannies

and nothing of value was lost

How many Slippi players are even trans? I know there's a lot of them in locals but when I think of Slippi I imagine white nerds. To be fair, that's how I imagined Melee's community a decade ago. Black nerds too of course we've all seen a good Falco.

are people playing friendlies at the funeral? thats kinda cool

This is what happens when trannies aren't gatekept and when actual toxic people are allowed to flourish

basically, the bad guys won

Has anyone noticed a single tranny at Hax's funeral? I haven't seen a single one.

no, something of tremendous value was lost. the community was amazing pre-covid/pre-trannies. genuinely one of the best communities in gaming

Ice Climbers

Tourneys should allow you to gut punch someone if they play that faggot character

bro stop noticing

Wait a minute...

the trannies still existed they just werent wearing dresses and wigs yet but yeah the people who werent trannies/tranny coded were a loss

There are at least 15 viable characters now

you think hax's mom would have invited the same people that fucked her son over? lmao

Anybody searching or is it just me?

I just play it casually with friends because it has OoT Link, my beloved.

What are the odds that Leffen says something like

"I wanted to go to Hax's funeral but I wasn't allowed, I'm so oppressed"?

15 Foxes

Leffen is smart.
He will say literally nothing about Hax$ like he currently has and just let it boil over.

Leffen lives in Sweden and I'm sure he doesn't want to be the target of crazy internet people more than he already is

Yeah I actually really respected Hax$. He was so strong when the community - you guys - were putting him through so much. But his mom didn't want me to go for some reason :(

I liked playing melee doubles with Anon Babble a few years ago but I don't have melee installed and I'm on wifi now

is the baldie gimr or slime

funeral is being streamed

Link?

that faggot slime wouldn't be there

boil over

technicals is going to drop a video that will end all of melee. No survivors

youtube.com/live/WBXkFxpwrfg

Is that Gimr talking to Technicals?

what did he mean by this?

543.png - 122x138, 30.38K

Seeing it like that is pretty horrendous, he was only 30 man.

It's so bizarre: Melee might be the most successful fighting game community of all time. Competitive play hasn't just survived, but thrived for more than 20 years. Look at the tournaments entrants for any game you can think of and they all pale in comparison to Melee's except for supermajors. A lot of it is because people play modern fighting games online, but I think in-person tournaments are an undeniable aspect of community. Watching Brian have a mental breakdown because SF6 sucks isn't the same as going to a local with your boys and talking shit.
liquipedia.net/smash/Major_Tournaments/Melee

any tournament that isn't an invitational gets 300 - 1,500 entrants

liquipedia.net/fighters/Street_Fighter_6/Tournaments/2024

legacy in-person tournaments like CEO or Combo Breaker are getting 600 - 1,500 entrants

basically everything else is fucking pitiful or a CPT invitational

I don't even need to link data for other games like USF4, 3S, Tekken, UMVC3. Evo is the only time anyone enters anything, yet hundreds of people still go to Melee regionals, majors, and supermajors regularly. It's insane.

gaylee.png - 709x395, 374.37K

yeah obviously. gimr has a soul. plus dealt with death of a close family member, his mom, so he knows how it feels to lose someone close kind of. the evil tranny murders cant relate at all.

melee sucks
i remember why i dropped this shit for street fighter

what are the chances they wouldve let him enter this tournament if he were alive today

You have no idea how badly I want Technicals to nuke the modern Smash community from orbit. They've earned retribution a thousand times over.

GimR

None. He lost his leg and they still didn’t unban him.

I can't get over Yoshi's Story theme playing over footage of a corpse

btw melee is the best 2v2 video game of all time

wobbling, chain grabbing, edge hogging, etc

having a teammate solves all that

Leffen barely plays melee now, so he won't give two shits.

He died at March 25th and they’re just doing this today?
Why? All the funerals I went were in the same day. Unless there’s a need for autopsy or a crime or whatever.

That autistic stare… holy shit…
I that how I look like to normies?

fr? Your funeral homes are efficient as fuck how do you prepare a whole funeral in the same day someone dies

what country do you live in

what country are you from?

He’s going to care when he gets exposed again for hundreds of thousands of viewers once technicals makes a digestable summary of all this edrama. People have already been calling for TSM to unsponsor him. He has privated his Twitter. He is scared. He should be. He should never attend another FGC tournament again IRL in his life. There is blood on his hands.

All the funerals I went were in the same day.

Never heard of that shit in my life. You live in the woods and bury them in the backyard?

Do you live in Gaza?

High energy screams on everything he does

I miss OoT Link's voice I hate the Twilight Princess voice and the new one so much it's unreal

kek

this is pretty standard
on the day of passing you will be told to contact a funeral home of choice but its so very unlikely you will have everything sorted. If hax didn't own a suit the mom would have to buy one just so he can wear it to the grave.

Bro, Technicals is a persona-nongrata.
Nobody in the FGC is going to give two shits.
There will be no justice, sorry that's just the way the world works.

super shame

why the fuck did they write that on his casket

Bro, Technicals is a persona-nongrata.

Technicals is A BASED NIGGER

These niggas playin melee on a flatscreen

KEK it's Shane holy fuck

South America.
My father died of illness 3am, we had all the obituary certificates, bought the coffin and organized stuff by 7am and even arranged to travel and have him buried at the farm he grew up in the same day.
Other cases we held a day or two at most so relatives could travel.
25th of March to April 5th is a long damn time to release a corpse unless there’s foul play suspected.

This whole funeral feels so surreal. On one cam it’s just Hax’s dead body in the casket while on the other cam the guys are playing friendlies and cracking jokes

how fucking laggy is slippy that i try to do a jump cancel grab and get a fucking fullhop knee
why do meleefags play on this

hax funeral sucked bro it was so laggy

never been to a funeral? Cracking jokes at a funeral is what people do, especially if its not full of old farts

sorry about your father, think it's just cultural differences

you playing on a macbook pro or some shit?

Esam is such a bald retard lol

I’m just saying this whole stream is such an insanely surreal visual

LOL

that fucking sucks man, sorry about your father too. to be honest I don't even know what they do with the body, it depends on if they wanted to be cremated, or organ donor, etc, but the funeral is usually a few days to a week later.

The 25th to April 5th is a little long, but it's natural for it to take a few days.

you need atleast a 120hz monitor and an overclocked adapter

YEAHUUUZZZ

most people dont plan ahead and own the land they can be buried in. arrangements for mass, ordering the coffin to be delivered, it all takes time.

some random nobody with 121k subs is going to change the FGC, with heavy ties to smash too

Don't think it'll do much at all. They're just gonna call him a smashie grifter and throw him away.

i don't even own a fucking 120hz monitor
why do i need a tranny monitor for a game that runs at 60fps

be the coolest Smasher

scam the community

Why did he do it?

pc chris.jpg - 1280x720, 71.89K

This is fucked up, I can't watch this, peeping in on people who actually knew the dude.
Mew2King took a seat just offscreen, directly facing the open coffin.

it counters the 2 frame delay to make it feel like CRT

Huh, Technicals really is there. Fuck.

The actual service is starting everyone pay attention

Memorial service in 3 minutes!

QRD?

That's why they call him PC Chris

JUAN SPEAKS

Hbox is speaking

Oh god

This is fucked

Hbox is honestly the most well-spoken smasher in the community so I’m not surprised they’re starting with him

I don't enjoy grabbing ledges. Would be cool if characters could grab the legs of the hanging opponent and take him down with him.

This is tragicomedy. I legitimately don't know whether to laugh or cry. I just keep shaking my head.

vegeta rain.gif - 220x162, 61.14K

does anyone know what happened to jman?

why does it have a fucking 2 frame delay

grifter

cope word

I think he promised to stream if people donated money for him to buy a computer. People donated thousands. Idk how much exactly, but he just took the money and ran.

I’ve never been to a funeral in real life so this visual of Hax’s dead body is very scary and sad

I'm playing on a steam deck

looks like technicals has a script on his phone to read

They are all NY homies that knew Hax since he was an early teen. It's nice to see they came out for Hax's funeral.

I mean, 4 and Ultimate tried "ledge trumping", but it just pops you up into the air so it's not disadvantageous at all.

Who's ready for some cringekino

death is solemn and sacred but also clumsy and dealing with an open casket never feels right. its like the person can stand up at any moment so it doesn't necessarily feel like the reality sinks in

Are those his trophies?

They should give their speeches to the beat of the chillin rap.

Audio is dead, uh oh

The FGC is ran by lefties so...

so the fucking rollback works you fuck stop fucking swear so much fuckhead it's fucking unattractive

sup meleeschizo you still coming up with actual headcanon?

even at a funeral, smash production sucks ass

Is it muted for anyone else

He went to prison (multiple times?) and then got released just a few years ago

bruh this isn't a tournament stream I dont think there ever was a plan to have working audio

I can't believe he said that

This entire stream is poetry. RIP Hax

Yeah, for me as well. A shame.

clapping at a funeral

typical gimr stream

Would be kino if the Saudis sent people to kill TO's and top players like ibdw who should've done more to save Hax.

Dammit I really wanted to hear what Hbox had to say

theres a pink captain falcon helmet in the casket next to hax

no audio

Can we get a professional lip reader in here?

you can tell that's m2ks head just from the rocking lol

final destination ost

Same. I don't mean it in a disrespectful way, either. I really just want to hear what these people have to say about someone I've watched compete for so long.

Someone throw a crab

oh ok yeah steam deck is dogshit. macbook pro would probably be better and i was joking about that.

that scared the shit out of me

0.5 second of gameplay

we got audio let’s go

Spezzi Funeral Home should have gotten BTS to help with the stream

This is kino

AUDIO BACK

He's gonna jolt back up after all the speeches.

m2k gonna shill his metafy

I cannot believe m2k managed to wobble his bald head into view

I know if he were still with us today Hax would have wanted you to sign up for HelloFresh

god this is so fucking sad

M2K's bald head rocking back and forth in the edge of the frame

Kek

This is incredibly sad I didn’t expect to get so emotional

the trannies scared me into silence

holy hsit hbox banned

Sad that out of all the lower tiers raising to power that Pikachu got left behind. Even Axe is switching to other shit.

pikatree.jpg - 1072x1697, 495.04K

Hbox holding back tears

god damn this is hard to watch

the KING is up

I'll never forget the time hax said to me "subscribe to hello fresh using the code mew2king"

gender and sex are the same thing and no amount of cutting off your penis will change that

Is that okay for hbox to say?

BASED HBOX THANK YOU FOR SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE NAZI TRANNIES

Could you guys actually hear what he said? I couldn’t hear anything

the red adidas pants

Based

The community for this game is maximum woke libtard. The game is half-solved too. Just don't approach. There's no reason to ever approach, just let the enemy come toward you, wavedash back, and then punish.

I spend 2 years of my life on this shitty game and it's intolerant libtard community only to find out that the game is not all that interesting in the end.

This is really hard to watch. I hope the smash bros community can unfuck itself but i'm not hopeful

one of these people was groomed by a tranny and the other trooned out to fit in

Isn't Hax the dude who made a longass video comparing Leffen to Hitler?

Melee setups at the funeral

canceled NYC players crawling out of the woodwork

playing Hax's sets for the stream, many of which had Chillin and D1 commentating

Hax's mom told people to wear red Adidas sweatpants to honor his legendary set with Leffen

production shitting the bed as usual

m2k's autism bob is in frame

it feels so wrong to call a funeral service soul

but this is peak soul

skill issue
next time try being born before trannies over every niche community

he didnt compare leffen to hitler but yes thats the guy

Edge hogger would be pulled down a bit and edge hogger grabber would get an extra up special.

I don’t think that’s M2K’s head in the frame

If you are in this thread, gg's anon. Thanks for the matches it was fun. Been a while but good lord do I ever love playing Ganondorf.

Who else would rock like that?

yeah it was hilarious, true, and based but it triggered trannies into murderous rage and they had an unending autistic meltdown until they killed him via mob like feral animals

Isn’t M2K fully bald now

I didn't think he had that much hair but he's doing the autism rock

that FD pun was cringe

hbox?

first half cut off by audio issues

talking about bonding with him during covid

talking about how happy hax was at Smash Factor X, the last major he was allowed to compete in because it was in Mexico

said he regrets not being brave enough to stand up for him, and how brave hax was in the face of the shit that happened to him

He's so genuinely autistic

m2k.png - 595x224, 15.46K

If there are people you love, tell them while they are still alive. Anything you say after they're dead is meaningless virtue signalling.

you just know Hax is in heaven or abdullah or whatever it is for him

The real kino is when you and your bros know each other's style so well that it's just an all out aggressive brawl every time. Unless you have that one friend who plays Peach or Puff and just camps.

showing up to haxs funeral in red addidas track pants is in bad taste

Absolutely, he did what he loved even when those in power shunned and systematically exiled him

Nah, I don’t even think you go fully bald due to androgenetic alopecia. You can either transplant or shave it.
Or take finasteride if you want to risk your balls, but it has to be done early.

M2K is the only top player who truly fought for Hax so I won’t make fun of his coping mechanisms at all

Yeah people just see the hitler quote and assumes it's a comparison to hitler but what actually happened there was hax saying that he agreed with the hitler quote.
He did talk about authoritarianism in general though so hitler was probably implied and I don't remember everything but the hitler quote was not in comparing leffen to hitler, it was hax saying that hax thought hitler was right.

His mom asked people to do it. I assume she wanted to honor the original set where Hax BTFO Leffen while wearing them.

who the fuck is this guy lmao is he just a random who bought a b0xx

Oof secondhand embarassment from that waveshining comment

ban all the libtards and it will flourish. Sound too easy? Well it will never happen. So much for "too easy".

GAME

Man I hope they don't talk too much about his ban here. Just celebrate his life and leave that shit on twitter.

how do you avoid talking about it? its why hes in that fucking coffin

Why? It's probably true that the CSRP can't even play the game.

What do you guys think Leffen is doing right now

genuine autism and not just brain rotted from technology.

Westballz too, but West was already kinda "out" and then got canceled so no one cared.

you're better

gigachad

the troons probably see this as a win. they're giddily giggling at full bloom right now. probably gonna have a gay orgy in the shitty hotel room that's made out of cardboard later.

damage control for his public image.

Are they true bros or just grifters virtue signaling for clout?

Live to smash, not smash to live

You don't know what you had until it's gone.

Retard a lot of these people are new yorkers who went to the locals that hax did

theyre at his funeral what do you think man

we should've unbanned him

imagine saying this at his literal funeral

a large number of people at this are banned from the majority of tournaments because they didnt accept the ever growing tranny control

We don't know, He got hit by a train in August but seemed relatively for the past few months. Suddenly his mom posted a go fund me for his memorial, then said that he was actually still alive in the hospital, then he died that night.

It sounds kind of bad on the surface but his ban is most likely the reason why he's in that casket. He attempted suicide some months ago.

wish I could understand what he was saying besides mhmhmhmmmrmr leffen

Might be my shitty monitor speakers but I literally can't tell what they are saying

he saw a small child get dragged into an alley way by a tournament. he sprinted towards the alley to save the child and yelling for help. then he saw this huge tranny struggling with the screaming and crying child like a vicious hippopotamus. Hax dove into action and dive kicked the huge tranny and the giant massive tranny rolled away and Hax saved the child and returned the child to his parents. But the huge evil tranny came back with an ar-15 and killed everyone there.

i just started recording on the off chance that this isn't saved anywhere

i'm not a "spiritual guy" or anything but watching someone's wake like this feels deeply spiritually uncomfortable.
i think i would rather watch execution videos.

Hax$ loved Melee. Hbox, Mang0, Zain, and Cody treat it like a job and Leffen treats it like exposure for his brand. Plup has random fits of motivation.

Hax$ lived melee. He tried over and over and over and over to be the best and he even made balancing patches and alternate controller technology.

There is no justice in this world.

smash isnt a fighting game btw

BASED and SOULFUL livestream funeral.

Official cause of death from his mom:

broken heart; all he wanted to do way play melee, and the shadow cabal of tranny TOs even mother fucked his new tournament that he created at dave n busters by threatening people that they would be banned if they went to it

Probable cause of death via autopsy results:

complications (infection, etc) from his suicide attempt and amputated leg

what did bobby do

you're fucking mental

What do you mean these?

open casket funerals are derranged

I don't know but I for one was harassing the TOs that banned him on twitter for a while now. they just block you like a little spineless fag so you don't see any of the people flaming them for banning hax.

based Melee historian.

fuk

It’s the open casket for me. Seeing the lifeless dead body of someone who you admired is soul crushing

bobert did nothing wrong

NNHHHNUHHNHHDSSHH

Great speech!

please... MNMNBMNNNRHFHFNMNFF

this microphone...

I thought open casket ceremonies were an african american thing.

Hbox hugging La Luna

Is that allowed?

You will never get people clapping at your funeral

nah it's a normal thing

I can't believe that's how he died.....

its the last time you will ever see them, this could be preferable over the final memory being in a hospital room

hbox hugging the moon

hbox saying he was scared to speak up out of fear

he's getting banned too isn't he

All Anon Babble memes aside I think this is well done and very touching. The lifelong bonds created by something as simple as a video game, which brought all kinds of people together, from pasty nerds like M2K to thugs like Wes and the DA crew is really quite beautiful. Seeing the banned players from the community come out, pay respect and reminisce about the good times they had together with Hax is nice. It's a shame that something like this was co-opted by a bunch of power hungry freaks that used it to turn what was a tight knit community unified by a game into a cult unified by some approved ideology.

I think it’s the fact that Moon is holding the mic right next to his mouth. Everyone else sounds fine

doesnt matter, they will clap at my death

If Hbox gets banned then I will admit that Hax was right about Leffen

context? what happened with la luna? i havent paid attention to the scene for like a decade but i liked his marth

hbox twitlonger coming soon

I agree, outside of his passing this sort of comradery is why it got big to begin with, it is unfortunate it takes tragedies to bring people together again

tl;dr was part of the group of players who regularly went to Mexico to chase 16 year-old pussy. Too meta.

Just because he's black doesn't make him a thug lol.

m2k should've came wearing black marth cosplay

He was creepy to a woman once and people discovered he has a pregnant fetish.
That's it.

Does anyone else find it weird theyre all calling him "Hax" at his funeral instead of his real name?

I mean...

Nah considering they all knew each other from Melee it’s fine

pregnant fetish

so being a natural human fetish lol

I imagine his tag would have been equally important to him.

your gamertag unironically represents you more than your real name something you have no control over

Rule of thumb: If a melee player gets cancelled there's a 90% chance that person is a normal guy with normal tastes.

it feels very much like the old melee scene where it was just a bunch of dudes who were friends playing video games. now its just a long gone era

Is that theSwooper? Every top Samus player loves Hax for some reason.

the tears are coming

oh shit yeah it probably is

This is the funeral of the Melee community more than any one person's.

I hope at some point we become allowed to recognize that trannies cause trouble wherever they go

Samus players are typically based.

Maybe he's not. I just recall chillindude saying something along those lines in that smash doc, no? I mean I have no doubt that Wes is a good person given how he stood up for Hax and how well spoken he was for getting his points across.

Daily reminder.

feels shit i wasted my early 20s and teenage years on this game :/

the melee community can't even recognize that a level 1 pathological narcissist is bad for the community, they have no hope against the tranny menace.

damn this shits sad

he's got strangers speaking for him more words than a family could.

jesus christ

uhhhhhhhhh

Please recap all the names that have been present in Hax's funerals rn
I'll start

M2K

La Luna

Technicals

GiMR

theSWOPPER

HBox

Who is this, DarkGenex?

holly fuck

people will say this is disrespectful but you have to remember that this is what hax went through.

he's going nuclear, jesus. good on him.

holy shit you're right, you're right.....The original community has been in decline for a while now but this officially the death of the original community. It's over....

schizo having a melty cause he got banned from the cave

yikes this is uncomfortable

at least you didn't cut your penis off... right?

I cant watch this dude fuck

Yeah, that's true. Seeing all these old players and finding out that the reason I don't see them anymore is because they were banned is really eye opening. Most of the melee oldguard got kicked out of their own hobby do that trannies could power trip a little bit

why are they applauding?

no that guy is a fag, this guy said his name was Daniel

some guy that got banned from mdva

It really is like the clash between old Melee and new Melee in one video

i'll see you soon

they're called americlaps for a reason

fuck

If i was Hbox and M2K I'd ask who these people are.
Nobody knows these mutants, they're not good players, they're not well-liked and they gleefully murdered a man, why do they get to decide anything at all about the community?
Why are old legends of the game accountable to these evil nobodies?

MANALORD??????

TheCringeLord

Oh boy

Goddamn it Manalord all you have to do is be less crazy than the trannies don't do this at a funeral

nigga really went to his funeral to advertise mana monthly

Didn't Hax block this dude completely?

manalord with some unimpeachable words desu, good showing

yes.

They're speaking out against the TO shadow cabal

its over.png - 676x897, 523.14K

Yeah, true. I cringed, but I imagine that would've been a daily occurrence for Hax.

Wasn't Hax super disruptive at events after he dropped his schizo Leffen manifesto?

jej

I doubt Hbox and M2K care much about the melee community anymore. Hbox barely goes to tournaments anymore and M2K is basically retired

gonna need a transcript i can't understand this

Lmao, I wasn't sure he actually said that. Holy shit.

HAX$ greeting members of the tranny cabal when they inevitably rope

RIPHAX.jpg - 681x1000, 264.64K

i would make sex with dj nintendo's sister

This lady seems nice

so like every other fighting game ever regardless of roster size?

He got banned immediately after so he was always on his best behavior at any tournaments that let him compete

no that was straight up blatant lies by the TOs. they said he was harassing him for asking to get unbanned sometimes. sometimes he would show up to a tournament not knowing he was banned because it was up to the disgression of the TO, they would tell him he can come and he would show up and be banned. He didn't do shit. Everything bad you heard is a fuckin lie by trannies.

hbox arguably cares more about competing than he has in years. you can see it in how he plays, he works himself up for every tournament to the point of getting depressed when he loses. i don't like hbox's play style, but i have to respect the effort he puts in, especially compared to other top players who just get depressed and do nothing.

holy underrated joke.

DJ's sis dropping mad facts

I feel retarded for tearing up over this over and over since I've never met any of these people and I'm just a doc baby thats watched this shit like people watch sportsball for years and I bought a 20xx card a decade ago and fuck around by myself but have never played with anyone.

Deej’s sister calling out cancel culture

Based

This whole situation reminded me why I'm a shut-in NEET. Being an immoral, sheeplike faggot is practically a prerequisite to existing and being accepted in society. No one could even speak up about this unjust ban because they would have been ostracized.

my queen spitting facts...

If they're wearing red pants they're just crying about being banned for being insufferable retards on social media. Only reason we're not seeing Mekk doing his best imam impression on stream is because he's trannyposting in this thread.

jesus christ let her finish talking

Oh shit

The box art is terrible.

MEW2GOD

oh god m2k

THAT AIN'T FALCO

THE KING

Hbox just won a supermajor like a couple months ago.

uuuuuuhhhhhhhh mods? Is someone gonna take this. Ok well, it's called "accountability culture" sweetie

Oh my sweet summer child. Maybe try going to college.

one less smashfag in the world

im on team leffen

lolm2k

MEW2KING

It might sound silly to become an hero because of Smash Bros., but if you were permanently banned from doing not only what you love, but what you're talented for and in a sense is your living, most people would do it, too.
Be it engineering, law, medicine or whatever.

lol m2k

lolm2k

MEW2GOD IS SPEAKING

i fucking love m2k

The best person in this shitstain of a community, a true Aryan.

smash isnt a fighting game btw

m2kino

based banjobro

KING

let's get high playing banjo tooie

fucking m2k
i'm crying

What the fuck lmao

yo
wanna get high?

Based M2K popping the crowd and raising the mood

and decked out in all red adidas

iNCONCEIVABLY BASED

M2K is pure dimes

The best speech by far. "The Robot" is the most human.

thanks for reminding me

HAXX.png - 1680x1050, 2.46M

M2K is a saint

mom says wear red pants

m2k comes in wearing red everything

king shit

The Hax$ Falco is no more

KEK

Red adidas specifically

i'mma be straight with you, we can never let this happen again

why did this happen

m2k i love u forever

MY KING

The funeral director seems like a bro.

M2K:

yeah Leffen is going straight to hell, you all know it right?

funeral home MC joking about hbox

what a god

BASED FUNERAL DIRECTOR HOLY SHIT

all the banned players just greeting everyone else as old friends

nobody showing any discomfort with Technicals being around

multiple people showing up with red adidas as a form of protest towards the TO cabal

the entire room clapping when one guy says that "all the banning is bullshit"

You really hit the nail in the head, I think.

Why does (did?) he look mexican but his name in the funeral is middle-eastern

they gotta let tech speak

THE HAX$ FALCO IS NO MORE

what did he say

kek

lol all the banned players showed up to make their ban appeal

You can say what you want about Melee being "just a game", but it's honestly fucked up seeing and thinking about how that game brought all these people to this single space. Every single one of their lives would be completely different.

I don't think he even wants to, its not really why hes there

he said give hungrybox some REST because m2k told a story where hbox got flamed a little bit

Something like "lay off hbox"

Isn't that Axe's coach?

without melee I wouldn't have gotten in a traumatic accident and pulled out of college to be a worthless neet for 10 years

Who the hell would wanna come back with the state the community is in? There’s not even any financial incentive since Melee has the smallest prize pots of any fighting game

I have been choking on my third chin laughing this whole time

the whole point was the pun with rest and jigglypuff

pretty sure he does, he just got up and went somewhere but I think i saw a script on his phone earlier

implying these aren't just normal guys that got banned for being men.

maybe he can help as the voice of reason then

DA wes and who? Taj?

If you are black in the USA there's a 33% chance you're obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog.

Come on hax get up already it's not funny anymore

heartfelt shit

This is what the Melee community used to be

EE and TK breezy are based and their commentary is way better than that shitty backstagging chinga Toph (add him in the culprit list)
I dropped melee recently because nobody plays it where I live and I'm now playing ultimate
Hax death by this community cimented it, the game is dead
i'mma be repping fox in ultimate for you my nigga hax$ rest in peace

Hax is being kind of a dick stonefacing all this nice stuff being said about him.

Amazing people

Where did it go wrong?

Not Taj. Another person from the DA crew.

restreaming and commentating the funeral

COVID and Slippi

tfw booting it up on Christmas day for the first time 2001

zoomers will never understand

two fruity guys called husband and wife hanging out with black guys from the hood wearing durags is funny

same shit happened to speedrunning. used to be a bunch of quirked up white boys, boomers, black dudes, and the japanese (who were like mythical beings). there were like 2 transgender people in the community and they were honestly fine. the whole thing just went tits up around 2015.

9/11

You might think I'm trying to push some narrative but liberal cancel culture is unironically most of the problem.

How did we go from normal looking nerds to literal trannies and twinks.

this dude is fucking YAPPING

this. shit is insidious and disguises itself as justice.

in the case of Smash it was more like people couldn't stop fucking underage kids

The biggest plot twist of the documentary was reveal that Wife is straight

everyone is here

lmao

I mean he did die from that

In case you haven't noticed, America has gone under quite the cultural shift in the last 10 years.

NOOOOOOOOOO

m2k.jpg - 1290x643, 639.04K

Wes is spitting

Yeah we could joke about this stuff because the chance of someone being a real fag was low, at least they kept in the closet.

this is why cremation is better

D1 still MIA?

Yeah those poor already-non-virgin 16 year olds..... Those poor baby children. If there's grass on the field then FUCK OFF am I right?

go back to twitter already

Someone make a new secret thread

newfags don't know about the chudat chronicles

hes in la and said hed have to call off to go

liberal

HGod has a noted history of hating Trump

shot and killed by police

just realized technicals is there

you either a zesty ass nigga or a thug ass nigga, no in-between

what does he even do now ?

WE DO NOT FORGIVE.

WE DO NOT FORGET.

EXPECT US.

What is this from?

Wes what the fuck are you talking about?

dunno but i saw him say that the other day because he was streaming and m2k raided him

there wont be time for tech to speak

The vax messed up with his mind

HAX FUCKING MONEY

I don't expect a guy who sleeps from 3AM to 3PM and then streams from 3PM to 3AM to exactly have super informed political opinions. It would still be better if he didn't give uninformed opinions, thoughever.

These two have been up there for more than 15 minutes now and said absolutely nothing loving or insightful

Is Wes filibusterering? That's the only way I can make sense of his rambling.

He wasn't shot lol. It was some news reel about how a police officer helped someone find their lost backpack at the airport. That someone happened to be D1.

hax fucking money

manlets, when will they ever learn?

its happening

LETS GO TECH

why is the funeral home guy so goated

technicals

oh god

oh FUCK OFF.

Who is this nigga anyway

omg they’re doing tech

Tech on the telly

i wanna see hax's mom

cringe faggot

There was a point when this culture war shit needed to stop and we are clearly past it

The only nigga who was willing to call out the Smash community, who is now proceeding to make jokes in extremely poor taste, which is... also what he does, I guess

hax's mom flew tech out

kek

this dude is a fuckin lame

this sucks

uh oh

Why is this nigga talking about Jisu, please stop bro

this feels way off compared to the others

bringing up jisu

whats wrong with him

o.o

I'm sorry for complaining about DA running up the clock, this guy is a fucking clown

turning a funeral into standup comedy

Holy fuck, this is terrible.

this guy is such a fucking grifter

What the fuck is this lol why is doing stand up comedy at a funeral

*mutes stream*

m2k_approved.jpg - 864x1024, 79.37K

What is this guy doing, turning this shit into Jeff Ross comedy right next to Hax's corpse

i muted the second he brought up jisu

I think he's a right wing youtube drama grifter

yeah this is where I stop watching

vibes are off was not expecting this

viewer count dropping

lol

What did he say about Jisu?

yeah hes not getting more people on his side with this

he's bringing it back a little bit

how can one man be so out of touch, this is the worst funeral speech ive ever seen by a gigantic margin

I have to click off. damn Technicals to hell. this smarmy grifting is genuinely fucking evil.

Technicals said welcome back Zero, but still thinks he shouldn't be allowed around children. Makes no sense.

Is he trying to prove the trannies right?

right wing

he's just after drama and rage bait. I don't think I've ever heard him bring up economic or cultural policy in his vids.

This reminds me from that high dude in Sopranos during the old lady house funeral or something.

Did Technicals just ruin his "career"

techniggles going to get socked in the mouth after this

grifting this hard

Alright I had to mute

they stopped full bloom for this

good

what is he actually saying can we all stop being vague? i refuse to watch due to second hand embarrassment

He just needs to talk about Hax. This is insane. The guy who started hyperventilating because he got banned for MVDA was better than this.

bringing up Jisu

bringing up Qanon

joking about grifting

He's finally saying some meaningful shit, but man way to poison to well.

qrd on what's currently on-stream?
at work so can't watch myself, but these posts are fucking killing me

Someone make a new thread before this gets archived

plugs m2k

Kek

I didn't know this was technicals so the cringe makes sense now, not bad overall knowing who it is

Surely there is some middle ground between trannies and this

He really should have just kept it to speaking the truth about Hax's situation. The jokes were in bad taste.

Did some tranny discord decide to raid the thread?

He's just a retard. Not everything is a dichotomy between trannies and normal people.

I was actually considering getting hellofresh for m2k actually since he plugs it 24/7 I gotta respect it. and apparently he gets paid 5x the price of the meal so it helps him a lot.

kill yourself nigger

just search melee

m2k delayed stand up

using the final speaking opportunity during a celebration of life to grift your drama content

m2k throws technicals' hat across the room

he asks Hbox to pick it up

Hbox refuses

Who are they going after next? Hbox?

how was he severely more autistic than m2k

technicals was speaking

timestamp?

I guess that's it

It was clearly prepared and not on topic for most of the time he was talking

Goodbye Hax and thread. I'll be missing Melee.

RIP Hax fuckin money, you guys are alright sometimes

I recorded everything from La Luna speaking to the end, and I'm going back to record hbox's and others' speeches. Hopefully it's just archived (it was legitimately heartwarming to hear people speak about Hax).

RIP Hax$ too good for this world but we all think you were gone way too soon

F

Hax$ my man I will never forget you

RIP Hax, fuck smash TO's who let this happen for their petty optics faggotry

F

Thanks brah

Gay marriage was legalized 10 years ago. It actually was the slippery slope they told us about

dont you know how to download youtube videos? if you dont, i really recommend you learn how to do it. its extremely easy. just use yt-dlp. ask chatgpt for help if you cant figure it out

zoomed into techs face and looked like he said "is it gone". hbox probably couldn't see where it was

he just wanted to play the game

i do, but it was a stream and i don't know whether it's going to be delisted.

justified. i'd be pissed if i was juan.

the simpleflips video still articulated it best to me, thinking about outsiders denying your biggest passion and reason for living is terrible

Someone should archive the video but make subtle ai edits to make it seem like hax occasionally breathes or cracks a smile

yt-dlp can also download streams

This is the end of an era.
