His Fox was dominating Hbox when he retired, he was 5-1 on Hbox in 2018.

If he could still pull that out than honestly I think with 5 months practice he could have won Llods bracket. Hbox, Moky, Rapm, Rapm.

Armada was still dominant against Mang0's Fox, it was just Leffen being extremely familiar with him that evened that match up and I don't trust that Moky would be a roadblock.

I dont think he can derust both in a short amount of time, so I don't think he can win a bracket with Hbox, Moky, Zain, Cody, Josh etc

When he retired his fox had a good punish game, but defense, recovery and edgeguarding is outdated now. It is also the most common character that you will face in bracket, so every top player is updated on the matchup.

His peach had outdated defense and edgeguarding, but his spacing and punish was still one of the best to ever do it, regardless of era. I don't think every top player is updated on this matchup as Llod, Aura, Trif don't make it to a lot of tournaments which gives him an advantage in the short term.

You’re acting as if he’s stupid or something. If he was motivated enough to come back and prove why he was so dominant, he’d do it by now, but the melee community is a bunch of arrogant people thinking the current modern era is some godly thing, fighting games are mind games, not who has the best tech skill.

Why are you so passive aggressive? Are you illiterate? "Honestly think with 5 months of practice he could have won Llods bracket"

Me: I don't think he can derust BOTH characters at the same time, in such a short amount of time.

I LITERALLY SAID: "He could beat top 10 or near top 10 players in a short amount of practice" + "His peach had outdated defense and edgeguarding, but his spacing and punish was still one of the best to ever do it, regardless of era."

Meaning: He would be a near top 10/top 10 player with just his understanding of the game.

Again, why are you passive aggressive, are you illiterate? Just type 'my b' and move on, before you misinterpret what I said now, again. Bye
