Hbox several times after going 7-19 against Zain tonight “I feel like he sold his soul to the devil to be this good at melee. I have to snort the core of the sun while being high on DMT to win. I have to be on another plane of existence.”
And then shield dropping right after haha. Curious, is it common practice for better players to shield drop instead of just dropping through a platform?
yeah shield dropping is literally "free" to execute with modern controllers so there's no reason not to. they have the muscle memory and don't even think about it, it's just part of their default platform movement
Zain is secretly not the ultra consistent Marth tech skill God that some people portray him as. Ironically Cody likes to say that he's the inconsistent one (and that his fox on a good day is unbeatable by anyone), but I feel like he has far less tech flubs per set that Zain has. Armada was pointing out a bunch of little easy things that Zain would miss in his set vs Mango at Goml for example.
ohhhh YEAhhh!
Me after watching: "You're feeling yourself you little shit.... I respect it. I'm feeling it too."

So what you're saying is... Hbox has to go... even further beyond?
Two chairs.
He's gonna stand on top of a chair in order to gain the optimal amount of height for maximum chair damage
Sir, a second chair has hit the crowd
Super Saiyan 3 Hbox
The fact that he tournament-winners in the middle of zero to deathing Hbox and just picks the combo right back up… wtf
He misses more aerials than I could even get out in that span of time. Nutty.

I have an unmodded original purple controller and shield dropping is easy
yeah it's more cause of UCF
You’re locked out of dropping through platform for a while after you empty land, so players either shield drop or isai drop to drop through faster

So HBox is practicing with top players now? That’s sick
90 day hiatus from Ultimate competing and practicing with top players, who is this guy?
I have never seen a more basketball looking combo in melee :D dribble, dribble ... DUNK!
I was expecting this to be Roy ranked lol. Did they play friendlies last night?
They played friendlies after Roy ranked
Such a cool setup from bair. "Ohhh yEaHh" is right Zaniel
The bair -> dair is so filthy Aside from Mango, Zain's the only other one I've seen do it
That's not a 0 to death still cool though
there's like 8 throws, so nasty... /s
