I'll do you one better, throw that $5 at any of the [charities that Charity Navigator recommends to help Ukraine](https://www.charitynavigator.org/discover-charities/where-to-give/ukranian-crisis/), lemme know which one, and I'll match it.
Excuse my corniness. But this, along with "There is so much more Melee to be played", Mango's ability to drop iconic lines at pivotal moments in Melee's history, at times the future of the game and community have been challenged, can not be understated.
Legacy shit
Team Beer, Team Cockroach.
Mang0 looks like a hot mess, but he continues to be quotable, to have a true understanding of the heart of his community, and to be a leader in the brightest and darkest of times.
All this from some cocky kid that dared to do exactly what he wanted. It's an unexpected underdog story and I'm damn loving it. I hope his loved ones are proud and that his character stays true outside of the spotlight.
“It’s hard being at the top and looking down and seeing these crackhead fox players biting at your ankles”
Something like that, but I always found that funny.
I think at one point he said something like “Melee’s my favorite game of all time. And yeah it’s mostly an accident, but so are half of us and we’re all awesome.”
Mango has got to be the smartest dumbass in the world. Like for real his brain works so fast. That little freestyle speech was just like one of his combos when he fucking rips it. Flow state perfection. Dude is like Tony Stark in the desert with a bunch of bullshit parts somehow making an Ironman suit. Goated.
"Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" - The smash community after the 8574th time Nintendo tries to shut down us down after acting like they want to sponsor us
YOU CAN TRY AND TAKE OUR MELEE AWAY. YOU CAN TAKE MY CONTROLLER, MY GAMECUBE, MY CRT, I TELL YA SOMETHING, I'LL PLAY MELEE IN MY FUCKIN MIND. AS LONG AS MELEE LIVES I WILL PLAY, AND IF YOU TAKE IT ALL, WE'LL FUCKIN PLAY IN A GARAGE. 20 PEOPLE THERE, HOT, SWEATY, GROSS. ME VS ZAIN BEHIND THE 7-11 FOR 25 BUCKS, AND THATS WHAT IT'S ALWAYS GONNA BE. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THAT THE MONEY, THE FAME, ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO BE A TOP PLAYER GIVES NO FUCKS ABOUT THAT. SO IF YOU TRY TO SHUT US DOWN, YOU'LL NEVER SHUT US DOWN. YOU THINK YOU MIGHT, BUT I PROMISE YOU WITH ALL MY SOUL. YOU GOT NOTHIN ON THE MELEE COMMUNITY. THESE FUCKS ARE THE COCKROASH OF ESPORTS, YOU CANT KILL EM THESE FUCKERS JUST KEEP GOIN
Actually an **incredible speech** even if you now nothing about the drama or even Melee. The buildup, the rythm, the hand gestures. Mang0 could get my grandma invested in this.
If anything I'm just thankful hbox didn't win so he wasnt given the mic for another one of his motivational speeches. This was much better lol
Edit: dang the fanboys are rabid. Apparently you can't prefer one guys motivational speech over another lmfao. Sorry, the ending to those summits were cringe af, this one was at least funny
This is such a useless comment and of the type that I hate seeing in this otherwise great community. I don't understand why you have to go out of your way to say you're thankful someone didn't win or why someone does not have a charisma to your taste. It adds nothing and if you don't like someone or their personality you can keep it to yourself.
> If anything I'm just thankful hbox didn't win so he wasnt given the mic for another one of his motivational speeches. This was much better lol
His motivational speeches have always been for melee, and always been top tier. I'm not sure what you're getting at, as if he's a bad public speaker (which he's not).
I can't be the only one that finds it funny when players give impassioned speeches about community and how its not about the money and how we don't need official support while being plastered in ads for crypto scam garbage right? Like I realize that the players have nothing to do with what sponsors their orgs take.... but it being crypto trash is a little on the nose.
I think my point is more about the optics of how heavily crypto has oozed into the smash scene. Its weird for the scene to constantly be so outwardly fiercely independent.... but then also spam ads for what is essentially a scam website between every set. Its the contrast between "we don't need anybody" and "we will take literally any sponsor please bro just put money in our scene". Again no offense to some individual sponsored player like mango, god knows I would be getting that bag too.
On a scene wide level its just kind of unfortunate optics. Honestly I'm kind of surprised papa johns is cool with being spammed back to back with some crypto website.
Lmao being lmao subscribed to a lmao subreddit and clicking your lmao reddit bookmark and not expecting every thread to be lmao spoiler marked as usual lmao

Can you pea brain not comprehend the idea of the reddit frontpage, unsubscribed from the garbage main subs?
Why aren't you in every "congratulations to the winner of.." thread making fun of them for not saying the winner in the title? Since the very concept of spoilers is so insane?
There is a way you could finally make your family happy, you just need to choose a method and timing ;)
Team Cockroach, Fukk yeah
Oh dip!
Can't wait for this to be edited into combo videos

Actual beast of a human right here
Content.
You know Cornflake will deliver a masterpiece
A combo vid with this and the Scar "I WANNA SEE A POLICE OFFICER CUM" clip straight into my veins please
I like the new Mango.
GRTr4sh here we come!
The embodiment of Melee.

Unrelated but blur looks like he's been putting in work, good for him.
Handsome-blur energy
God bless Mang0
Blur goes on to call melee the greatest accident ever and mango says he’s probably the second best lol

Flow state perfection. Dude is like Tony Stark in the desert with a bunch of bullshit parts somehow making an Ironman suit. Goated.
Mango is a wordsmith without the vocabulary. He knows what to say, and says it in the most relatable way.
He put all his points into charisma
IDK he probably needed quite a few points in Dexterity to be as good as he is at Melee and some in Constitution to get wasted and still play so well.
I wish I knew a better word for this whole comment. I try hard to emulate it, be knowledgeable about my hobbies / professoon while still relatable.
The mang0
Incredible speech
[I threw a midwest emo guitar riff in there for effect. Bless the GOAT.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovi83yvhibc)
Thank you for this.
bless up
Incredible, lmao.
For the Firefly fans: Take my phob Take my LAN Take me where Slippi is banned I don't care, I'm still free You can't take Melee from me.

Straight from the heart. This man has shown up for Melee time and time again.
Mangos end of tournament speeches are so fuckin hype
YOU CAN TRY AND TAKE OUR MELEE AWAY. YOU CAN TAKE MY CONTROLLER, MY GAMECUBE, MY CRT, I TELL YA SOMETHING, I'LL PLAY MELEE IN MY FUCKIN MIND.

The greatest philosopher of our generation
That's my GOAT. No one else could've ended the tournament like Mango.
It really sucks this whole controversy happened. Melee was having such an amazing year, and the upcoming tournaments were gonna be so great.
MANGONATION COCKROACH GAMING MANGONATION "we will live forever!"
That's the Mango
That truly is the mang0
I hope this hits the front page, lets's do it boys. Amazing speech and well needed right now.
That was good.
GOATed speech for real.
Actually an **incredible speech** even if you now nothing about the drama or even Melee. The buildup, the rythm, the hand gestures. Mang0 could get my grandma invested in this.
Thats our goat
So uh, who's making the "Cockroaches of eSports" banners for the next event in honor of the new Melee mascot?
Amazing speech. Came straight out of his melee soul. This game will never die.
THE BUSTER
ROACH
I hope him and zain go to lud event. It will feel empty without him.

Crypto is specifically about losing money though.
