To the producers: I'm actually super sad that you cut to the crowd instead of showing zains reaction to his win first. yeah the crowd popoff is really cool. but imagine someone scoring an important touchdown and immediately going to the crowd instead of the guys face. meh! if anyone from the stream reads this ... please don't do that again.
hbox actually left in the middle of playing a set against Nightmare to congratulate zain, thats where the problem comes in (not hating on hbox, i love him, but thats the reason most people are mad)
That was definitely my mistake. It was one of my first streams working 6 different video inputs and I was already scrambling at the time from cutting early before the game ending + just being really hype about the moment myself. I'll hopefully never make that mistake again after this. :P
The set that put a legend on the map. I can remember watching this set and I thought that Zain's Marth was really sick, but I wasn't sure if his style was sustainable enough to consistently beat players of Leffen's caliber...it turns out it absolutely was sustainable, lol.
The pivot fastfall and autocancel fairs/nairs zain does in neutral in accordance with his dash dancing are fucking crazy. They zone AND they bait. What a monster, Leffen looked lost those games on DL.
Christopher F ive been wondering for a LONG time why marths just dont pivot/fadeback more in neutral marth has all the tools to bully any character and keep fox out of his personal space, good to see a lesser known marth finally applying it
HBOX and Zain played online, leaving hbox amazed at his marth. That's why the pop off. Really good video to look up. But Props to Zain. His movement is so perfected. Fastfalled just about everything. And the edge cancel down airs.
Ethan Flinner It was great, but Zain has been on the comeup for a while now and Leffen hasn't been playing at his real level in ages. Still a crazy upset but calling it the best of all time would be pushing it waaaaaaay too far.
Zain is pretty good. He is a lesson to win neutral 13 times in a row just shutting leffen down. Honestly though leffen wasn't playing in point. Sloppy play and makes some unsafe moves
ISwearI'mNotAWeeb not washed up but a bit full of shit. So sick of every tournament him taking to Twitter to show something else to complain about. Less talk more action.
JebaJebaJemeh yep I get that he cares a lot about the game but giving crap to every player better than him saying that he is gonna win the next tournament, and then crying on every social media like a prepubescent teenage girl after he loses is just annoying. He should try to live without an ego that he cant fulfill.
lagalil I'm just so sick of the constant 'you guys are fucked when I stop making mistakes' or how he learned so much about his mentality and then he blames his sleep or his mentality or decides he has something more important to go. Obviously I don't mean to sound like a duck when I say that (and I get you don't either), and obviously people have their shit to deal with outside the game, but at some point it's just looking for excuses and hoping to find them. Again, less talk more action.
Like An Onion I mean, the PM competitive top 8s were all Melee players back before they ceased development. Also, on his twitter, zain said that he plays Melee now
Leffen didn't want Zain to throw up on him 😩
i understand this reference
i understand this reference
i was thinking this comment is so stupid, and then i was like never mind i like it
i understand this reference
HBox doesn't even need his own game to pop off to
Kappa
It's called really being in love with attention.
Yeah dude he loves the attention. He'll hug someone who smells like shit if it gives him time in front of the camera
Zain is his homie. That’s his marth practice partner. It’s genuine happiness towards zains victory
There isn't a genuine action from a sociopath.
This being 6 years ago is so wild.... Didnt feel that long ago
16:31 fastest i've ever seen hbox move
Zesty Sausage LMAO
Zesty Sausage even faster than his puff
i'm dying
him running past looks straight outta some anime.
SO FAST
hahaha i didnt even notice this at first xD.
Hbox created Naruto
Little did this young lad know he would single handedly be responsible for Leffen picking up a secondary sheik
At least somebody from MD/VA beat Leffen
Brutal.
16:23
The best cam fake-out Ive ever seen.
lmao my b
MeleeEveryday seeing crowd reaction (at least IMO) isn't more important than seeing Game pop up on screen.
16:32 the fastest a human has ever traveled unassisted
Message to all camera operators: don't leave the game screen until you see the "Game!" message. Thank you.
Sincerely,
- Every Smash fan ever
*Sincerely,
- The People.
WHO SAID YOU WERE A GOD, I KNOW IT WASN'T ZAIN!
“What an upset It would be if Zain won.”
If only they knew
Watching this in 2022 lol

Buzz Oh also HBox searching for attention as well
lol hbox can never escape these accusations. I bet his tombstone will be vandalised with, 'here lies hbox seeking attention even in death'
hbox actually left in the middle of playing a set against Nightmare to congratulate zain, thats where the problem comes in (not hating on hbox, i love him, but thats the reason most people are mad)
Zain didn't really pop off.
That was definitely my mistake. It was one of my first streams working 6 different video inputs and I was already scrambling at the time from cutting early before the game ending + just being really hype about the moment myself. I'll hopefully never make that mistake again after this. :P
this is the set that started it all
The set that put a legend on the map.
I can remember watching this set and I thought that Zain's Marth was really sick, but I wasn't sure if his style was sustainable enough to consistently beat players of Leffen's caliber...it turns out it absolutely was sustainable, lol.

Yea his pivots are nutty he just upped the meta for fox Marth so sick
Christopher F Wonder if M2k will update his style some day
Christopher F ive been wondering for a LONG time why marths just dont pivot/fadeback more in neutral marth has all the tools to bully any character and keep fox out of his personal space, good to see a lesser known marth finally applying it
not rly....leff would have actually won the last game, just miessed up on the ledge. i wouldnt say hes looking lost just zain playing sickkk
HBOX and Zain played online, leaving hbox amazed at his marth. That's why the pop off. Really good video to look up.
But Props to Zain. His movement is so perfected. Fastfalled just about everything. And the edge cancel down airs.
Saw this live. Being an absolute Zain fan for over a year and seeing this live was fucking incredible
14:26 omg
PKSparkxx DatHottneSS I didn't know you liked melee :D
the set that made zain. this is history
Actually the set that made zain was him beating plup
@@SRM13 I can see that. Never got to see that one live tho so I can’t speak on it as much
ZAIN, THE SLAYER OF GOD-SLAYERS!
seeing zain feel himself move and more as the game went on was hype
Hbox: "How can I make this great moment about me?" *runs on stage*
I don't know what I laughed harder at, this comment or your user name lol.
That was one of the sickest games I've ever seen
YO THIS ZAIN GUY IS SMART AS FUCKKKKK
unos de los momentos mas epicos de la melee
The God slayer creates a new God
Finally Leffen can't brag about "I've only lost to top 5 players, I'm consistent."
He made it into top 8 on a non easy bracket, so he is being consistent, but I got your point, he is not playing as good as he used to.
Erick Diaz spoke too soon
He beat Armada, so he's got that
comment has not aged well.
This comment has not aged well at ALL lmao. Zain best in the world baby
Is there a video of the Leffen/None matchup up yet? That set was so intense.
Zain is crazy! Zain is Zain btw. Yeah, I know top players. It's whatever to me.
Paper Tiger ok
underrated comment
Pk Ness it's super rated I would say
Pk Ness it was a super overused meme in the last 2 years or so. Kinda like everyone saying mango is in jail
InZAIN player
Respect man! respect! A Marth who can beat leffen's fox. 100 percent respect. Reminds me so much of my fav, PPMD
Leffens eyes tho when zain gets the Amsa tech 12:42
Zains Marth was so fucking clean, I keep rewatching this
Seriously one of the greatest sets in Melee history.
When you search up 60-40 leffen this is the second video that comes up. The first one is his rant
INZAIN
haha, for sure
Underrated comment
Zain's punish game has gotten so much better.
Chillin take notes
People are saying Leffen is washed yet he got 2nd at the tournament
This is when it all started for a ton of people lol
Game 3 and there is still 10 mins left :thinking:
HOLE
E
FUCK.
GOOD SHIT ZAIN!
Congratulations to Zain. It was a good match.
Hbox: hold on, zain.. imma let you finish
Where the rise begins
2:35 was straight M2K esqe, wild set
Pivot grabs, so good.
Zain is the second coming of melee.. The return of the king
This comment aged W E L L
and a year & a half later, he is in contention of being top 5
Beating him, and taking hbox to game 5 pretty consistently.
Zain is so sick
Zain had ascended by this time. He fuckin’ Goku’d his way to the top.
Zain is fucking sick
Now top 2, consistently 1.
@@CursedMarkMedia this aged well :)
16:19 BARELY, MADE IT BACK!
16:31 Hungrybox becomes Liquid Blur for a second
Ok who the heck won this tournament?!?! I can't find the top 8 vids
Its McMurrica hbox won
If your not gonna watch the whole set, AT LEAST watch the last match!
16:58 for highlight of the video
Damn. It'd be better if it was Chillin' who hugged Zain instead, but OK
16:16 I cant be the only one who thought it was over
MichaelJ2014 nah marth fsmash across DL, but dsmash would have sealed it
Alright Zain, first Plup, and now Leffen? You have our attention, let's see if you can join the ranks of the top non-gods this year.
i think he probably can
This is some good melee
Hbox was faster than minatos flying raijin technique
This set was inZain!
6:28 lmao the illusion
MDVA getting better this year
Let's fucking go
LETS FUCKING GO ZAIN
Hypest reverse 30
This boy ZAIN!
But what about the troops?
10:18 Leffen yawns...
Kodar I noticed too, looked pretty fake to me.
JebaJebaJemeh yup. Kinda looked like something he just did out of nerves
he actually yawns a lot during sets. all about that bm
GRsmash should do top 10 camera flubs
that feel when smash n splash 3 attracted all of the players away from battle of BC :(
Bless
Zains marth is so sick
This marth is sick
I miss the old Leffen
the hell happened at 12:44 after the amsah tech? He just like fell off the ledge?
vapedragon I think the momentum from the hit pushed him off after the tech
yea that seems right. just weird that the game waited for the character model to fully stand up before the momentum carried over
yesssss!!!
Zain IS CRAZY!!!
zain is actually nuts theat movement is so great and looks so annoying to deal with
Hbox is a pop off god lmao
WOW
Biggest upset since aMSa vs Mew2King. Possibly the biggest in Smash history
Ethan Flinner It was great, but Zain has been on the comeup for a while now and Leffen hasn't been playing at his real level in ages. Still a crazy upset but calling it the best of all time would be pushing it waaaaaaay too far.
Ethan Flinner aMSa M2K wasn't that big of an upset, M2K is known for losing MUs he doesn't know.
D@rth_Bane Beat me to it. If aMSAh played fox he would have been shredded.
Yeah unranked v top 5. Totally not an upset..
what region is Zain from?
Maryland.
no wonder he didn't get far
Tbh I think Hbox only congratulated Zain just cause Leffen got sent to losers
Ricky Ricardo Obviously
Zain is pretty good. He is a lesson to win neutral 13 times in a row just shutting leffen down. Honestly though leffen wasn't playing in point. Sloppy play and makes some unsafe moves
I wanna see Zain vs. gaR now
is leffen washed up?
ISwearI'mNotAWeeb not washed up but a bit full of shit. So sick of every tournament him taking to Twitter to show something else to complain about. Less talk more action.

i feel like he used to play like he had nothing to lose, that changed overtime
lagalil I'm just so sick of the constant 'you guys are fucked when I stop making mistakes' or how he learned so much about his mentality and then he blames his sleep or his mentality or decides he has something more important to go.

clovehitch Yeah, or Leffen hasn't been playing well all year you idiot
heads on roll heads roll on the flor
ICECREAM MAN Versus ANIME LOOKING MAN
6:04 i think leffen is really strong against marth on FD Kappa
pssh l3ff3n was just slacking I mean he was probably worried coz he was playing against Social Security Insurance
Casey Aguilera underrated
Being a leffen fan #FeelsBadMan
10:12 OOHHHHHHHHH!
Woah...that was just the START of a BEAUTIFUL MATCH! This was so epic...I think I'm crying rn. Double...no triple rainbows...
This guy plays kind of like Armada.
East coast beast coast
at 16:18 leffen could've easily dropped down shine to win the game
Leffen has zero fans there lol. Poor dude.
#Cut4Zain
USA USA USA
When you say pm players are bad but you get sent to losers in top 64 in your own game
Like An Onion doesnt change the fact that pm players are still bad
TheDarthBrandon how many melee players are in pm top eight?
Like An Onion no one because they dont play it :v
Like An Onion I mean, the PM competitive top 8s were all Melee players back before they ceased development. Also, on his twitter, zain said that he plays Melee now
This comment section aged like milk or fine wine, I'm not really sure
damn
ppmd?
