sorry this is late but takeaways from Melee this year:
- Plup is freakin' amazing. taking out Mango and Leffen (with Samus!) and placing 4th, he has nowhere to go but up.
- Mango played unbelievably awful in top 8.
- Hungrybox played amazing, was close to bracket reset too.
- Leffen's steam ran out as i predicted.
- my prediction for Armada to win came true. although i think he was kind of scared of HBox, game 3 of grand finals he was camping almost the whole match.
- dissapointing that PPMD went out so easily, i was expecting to see PP vs. Armada grand finals. there was so much hype for him.
- incredible that ChuDat even placed in top 8 at all.
