Look at 4:57 when PPMD up-air's Leffen on the top platform. It looks as if the lightsaber item materializes for a frame or two and then disappears. That's crazy.

I notice PPMD nods his head and has a "Thinker" moment right after he loses a stock. It's like he's acknowledging how he lost that stock and approving Leffen for the good play.

Saying it slightly unplugged, re-plugging your controller after a loss, complaining about lag, your controller isnt working properly; all of these are johns. a john = a stupid excuse for your loss, an excuse outside the boundaries of reason.

Anyone notice how PPMD's combos are so smooth and fast when using Marth compared to other players who plays him so mechanically. :O mah fave player

PPMD wasn’t just the best Melee player. He IS the best Melee player. Maybe not so much in a skill set anymore, but definitely in an admiration kind of way. I don’t care if he hasn’t attended a major tournament in roughly 2 years and hasn’t placed well in the recent Nationals he has gone to. When this man was on point, nobody was stopping him. Coming from a region with no competitive smash influence in that of North Carolina, to dealing with the emotional baggage of depression, suicidal thoughts, and disapproval of parents, and finally all his health concerns which have continually worsened, to be able to win this tournament in which nobody thought he could do it is a thing of beauty. You can see him struggling at times during this set with missing follow ups, and relatively poor punishments. This set was a super close 5 game set, and it could’ve easily gone to Leffen. But as a personification for PPMD’s life, dealing with all his struggles, he still prevailed. I hope one day this man can come back. The beautiful game of Melee needs its most beautiful player.

Doc kid, lol. Considering the story line, stakes, and quality of play at this tournament, this is arguably the greatest set of all time.

this is probably one of my top 5 favorite sets i've ever watched in melee, period. amazing play from both players. i really do aspire for my fox to have the mobility of leffen's one day; it's always incredible to watch him play when he's really on. ppmd played fantastically, though, so props to him. can't wait to see more of his marth (and hopefully his falco) later this year

Leffen was actually extremely close to winning

When it looked like two Swedes would come to the top and take the melee throne. A lone American from the south would come back from an early retirement to defend his nations honor. No one believed in him. But, silently he and his Marth would climb through the ranks defeating everyone in his path on his way back to the top. That man was PPMD, the tournament was APEX 2015. The movie writes itself. We miss you PP, and fondly remember the moments where you, with your unique style, were the best in the world!

5 years later...

Most watched melee set on KZread, also my favorite set of all time. We miss you pp

this marth is so calculated

The reason Leffen gets "rekt" to most people (including myself) is because Leffen plays the "textbook" fox. Nothing crazy when It comes to combo's, just up airs, up smashes and just simple stuff. Not to say what he does is easy, but what he does is safe, and won't cause SDs or drop kills for overextending. But the other players combo him and it makes the other player look more stylish and fun. That's why people say he gets wrecked, because they see him get comboed like crazy, but he doesn't really do it back

@treehann

9 жыл бұрын

***** good point. I think Leffen's fox is interesting to watch, but for different reasons than other foxes. His style is pretty brutal and efficient and doesn't rely on crazy lead-ins like you said. It can be more entertaining to see a fox like Hax or Armada juggle him around than vice versa.

@davjags

9 жыл бұрын

U can see mango play against a Marth and do more interesting (and personally more entertaining) stuff. Leffen also goes for the "safe" and "correct" DI, and because top players know what that DI is, they do some crazy stuff against Leffen. Watch m2k vs Leffen at TBH4 or Paragon, he actually reads his DI into some crazy stuff, while Leffen just goes for run up upsmash or up throw up airs. It's just that Leffen doesn't try to style on you, he just tries to beat you by any means necessary.

I wonder if casual players come to videos like this and can visually see that the game is being played much faster than what they're used to.
