To clarify, when I mentioned PPMD being "annoying" it was more a word I used to describe how hard it is to play against him for me. It's fun playing vs him cause it challenges me so much but also annoying cause I have such a hard time to get in.

I have 100% respect for his style and him as a player (often praised his Marth vs Peach especially).
I feel like I often get missunderstood/not described correctly in commentary, not sure why tbh

I think the truest testament to PPMD's skill-level is Armada's pop-off/reaction after winning. You have to be a truly menacing foe to illicit that kind of response from Armada.

What scares me is thar PPMD looked nowhere near the best of his potential, yet he still managed 5th at one of the largest tournaments in smash history. I can only imagine how well PP will do when he goes 100%.

Armada vs PP is great fucking Melee

"It to be stacked up in the upwards direction."

4:45 to 5:15

The stock of gods. P P M D KREYGASM

Pretty scary. PPMD is nowhere near his peak performance (due to his health issues and his awful DI), and he almost sent the eventual Genesis 3 champion and #1 player in the world to Losers Quarters.

PPMD will be Armada's kryptonite when he gets back to full health. Because his Fox really struggles against PP's Falco (and Mango's Falco). And then if his Marth can remain consistent (which it wasn't in this tourney), then Armada is really in trouble.

The crowd roared behind every PP combo. Crowd mics are hype.

Honestly, this was the most hype set. It was so damn close. The end had everyone dying

Sets like this make me love the game

For about 10 seconds after 5:00 PPMD was playing perfect melee

9:06
someone in the crowd yelled "that's not safe"

such an amazing set for PP

Man PP’s DI mix up at 12:47 is just savage (shine -> walk up fsmash instead of dair). Deleted armada’s stock at 70% from the opposite side of the stage

When armade and ppmd fight, its a glorious display of two shining gods clashing in the heavens

Yall don't understand how hype I've been waiting for this. kreygasm.

9:10 was soo sick by PPMD and after all that Armada manages to get out and with that genius second up B he gets a massive punish, such high level play

No offense to smash 4. But you will never touch melee

PP definitely did a lot fo really cool stuff both in this set and vs Mango, he just couldn't really keep up the pace for the entire set. He's definitely still capable of performing at the top level I think, just needs his health to improve so he can start playing more consistently again.
