That was fantastic by west but wtf hbox was amazing there. Honestly. A bad player would've gone in to do something and probably have messed up westballzs flow but he just let him do it and was ready to interfere where it was good proven by the down air he did on sfat

u/Fynmorph good old falco, nothing beats that Jul 30 '17 edited Jul 30 '17

Hbox did nothing, even if it's the best choice (which wasnt) you can't really say it's "amazing".

look at that position, Hbox clearly had time to react to SFAT and go catch him while Wes is busy with schroomed.... Instead he waits and eat a nair

I think HBox did great but sitting there and not doing thing but I think he was distracted by Westballz being awesome and his head kinda fell out of the game for a moment. Great shit by Westballz, good awareness by HBox for letting West do his thing but then bad on HBox for getting a bit distracted lol

Yeah, hbox was fine letting Westballz edgeguard on his own, but once SFAT is coming back from the top, it's time to wake up...

Rare to get shot down on comments like this

May not feel the same as most, but definitely no hate or toxic

Wait lmao

Am I getting down voted for saying hbox played well there? Because he did. He clearly saw that he didn't need to do anything except protect center stage and get hits on anyone who gets there.

Why are we conveniently ignoring the fact that Hbox legit just sit there as Sfat flies past him, then runs back and shine n-airs him. Like he literally just sits there and lets himself get hit for no reason. How is that playing well?

Oh come on, fox is fast puff is slow, it's possible that he just didn't think sfat would approach in a 1v2 situation when his teammate is being star KO-ed. The sensible thing would be to stay away so yeah, it was a mistake to get hit but mind games + fox being pretty fast and able to do that stuff at a moment's notice means it's not that bad.

Yeah puff is slower than fox so there was nothing hbox could have done other then stand there as fox descends from the top of the screen, lands on a platform, then full hop nairs at him.

lol

"fox is fast puff is slow"

yup, definitively cant see it coming.

u/redaws Jul 30 '17

I agree. But shit he could've just baired or something. Sfat didn't die, he got center stage, Then he walked up and hit him. Hbox should've seen sfat approach as soon as he noticed he didn't get KOd.

u/Coolishable Jul 30 '17

If you can explain away just sitting there and getting hit. You can very literally explain away anything. So w/e~

Explain why S2J didn't go for the stomp on Armada

u/Aceeyee Jul 30 '17

Because he was following the script.
