Ultimate, and Melee‘s noticeable exclusion from the upcoming EVO 2019 line-up, some have been wondering how to keep the game from getting a little stale—a conversation that even sometimes veers in the direction of potentially banning Jigglypuff.

Reason I say that is because it lacks the ambition of other titles in the series (that being the N64 one, Brawl, and Ultimate). Can someone show the guy shooting the video how to hold the phone sideways? I'm fine if Nintendo Life doesn't consider esports a priority, but I'd rather see some non-negative coverage of them or no coverage at all. Certainly not the first inappropriate instance of spectator engagement we’ve seen at an esports event (here’s the time olofmeister high-fived a long, black marital aid), safety is always a concern at events and cons alike.

If you are really that passionate, then just make a t-shirt with a picture of a crab and a slogan of some kind and wear it to the venue. But being serious, that’s a pretty messed up thing to do. I feel like this is some local phenomenon, like crossbows in Leaves of Grass... Bro the last tourney I went to smelt like ass there's a reason it's a meme. It's from some dancing crab video that's usually accompanied with "X is dead!" Well, he doesn't much resemble a box, but perhaps he was hungry. If the canucks lose the play offs, fans transform into rabbid zombies and destroy Vancouver city. Its a shame though, as its tough for people to come out of their shells and play competitively in front of others. Why? On a serious note though...Yeah, the guy shouldn't have reacted that way. I have to throw a dead crab on the stage in front of Hungrybox. I guess, in a pinch, you throw whatever you have to hand! text.

After a 5 set losers run. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter To Be Revealed Tomorrow, 1st October, Every Smash Bros. I think the real perpetrator is Sakurai, he paid this guy to throw a crab. Jiggly is someone who is a very “slow” fighter who works best in the air.

@Morpheel Drunk people can't really spell( I do talk from experience ). Melee players so smelly having a dead crab around all day goes incognito. Hey, here's another similarity to KoopaTV: we both attack humans. You can also stay updated through the official Crab Champion Twitter account and keep track of future progress: While not Crab Champions related, there was some crabby news that debuted earlier this year — coincidentally also back in April.

@subpopz society rewards idiocy and irresponsible behaviour at quite a few levels, for different reasons. For Team Liquid Smash player Juan “Hungrybox” Debiedma, the championship win included about $2,700 in prize winnings, victory over Cloud9 rival Joseph “Mango” Marquez… and a dead crab thrown at him.

It's a good thing the guy wasn't allergic to sea food. No worse than diving by players in sports and crowds watching sports. All Rights Reserved. Not even the fact things can get a whole lot worse than that at other sporting events (see soccer and American football) doesn't make this somehow okay. Give me about 10 minutes when I first wake up in the morning and I can throw something far worse than a dead crab at him! Barely missed my head. I'm guessing for at least another century. Plus, I'd be upset and weirded out if someone threw a dead animal at me. Following a loser’s bracket run that resulted in a reset, and ultimate vanquishing of Joseph “mang0” Marquez, Juan “Hungrybox” DeBiedma secured the Pound 2019 Super Smash Bros. Melee grand finals only to have a crab hurled at him by a nearby spectator.
What do you get for winning the latest Pound tournament? And hbox is actually a great guy, so you should really separate the criticism of his play vs attacking him as a person.

My fat ass is actually really mad that someone wasted a perfectly delicious crab.
It's a bit weird how NintendoLife only ever seems to share stories about competitive Smash when there's a negative story for people to make fun of elitists. He basically just tweets bait stuff at Melee fans. HBox slander is essentially condoned by the community because he blows up the best players with a character literally no one else is as remotely as good as he is with. Since the arrival of Super Smash Bros. Hey it could've been worse. Watch: Super Smash Bros. Apparently also including Hungrybox. The best GIFs are on GIPHY. Gamers, autism, rape comparisons, armchair lawyering, hungrybox himself being a huge drama queen, and the crab that just takes everything way over the top. Last April, the player tweeted a story about getting harassed at Wal-Mart by a stranger, who said “Fuck you and your family, Hungrybox”. That is so random, I am still trying to figure out why a real crab out of all things. What the fuck man Anyway GGs, no clue how I won that. I'm not offended. @MattFox Yeah, but you'd have key-placement-related misspellings or senseless auto corrects. Animal Crossing: New Horizons' NookLink App Gets A Neat N...

And it is totally embarrassing to have a bunch of toxic people saying that because he doesn’t play a “technical” character like Fox that he’s ruining the “purity” of the game. Being the Massive Multiplayer Crossover it is, Super Smash Bros. is notorious for spawning many memes.. Crab Champions, the game based off the viral music video meme Crab Rave, gets some new and surprisingly fantastic looking gameplay footage. No wonder the community is so widely mocked, people are just idiots cause they just want to win. The meme is called “giant enemy crab” after all. That being said, I honestly like watching competitive Smash, mostly Ultimate, but Melee is a good game too. Huh.

Like damn. As soon as the movie ended, I thought to myself, 'I have to do something courageous and epic. You must log in or register to reply here. Likes: Deleted member. Pro 'Super Smash Bros' player Hungrybox had a crab hurled at his head after winning the Summit 2019 tournament. According to the creator Noisestorm, Crab Champions features “a legendary crab tournament, an original crabby soundtrack and ultimate crab parkour.” As a bonus, thanks to a question from a Twitter user, we found out the developer is gunning for a $9 price point with free after-launch updates: Aiming for the launch price to be $9 with continued free updates after launch.

The marathon test contributed to the player’s reaction after the incident, which he later explained in a tweet. They could have thrown a live crab at him. The clip was captured live on the VGBootcamp Twitch channel, with commentary from casters who seem confused as to what just happened. Find GIFs with the latest and newest hashtags!

Have yourself a crab dinner. First time I’ve ever been harassed in public over Melee. HAH! Man, Pokémon trades in my day sure worked differently... @SetupDisk News Introducing The Smash Stick, A Fight Stick Specially Designed For Super Smash Bros. News Smash World Tour 2020 Will Have Ultimate And Melee Players Fighting Over $250,000 Prize, Guide: Super Smash Bros. After tournament player Hungrybox won a Super Smash Bros.

I think the announcers were the worst part. Make sure you're registered to vote and know all your options to vote safely!

"I'm not sure what that is, oh it's a crab… that's not cool man," the announcers yelled. Unidentified at the time of writing, many online are already calling for the tosser to be permanently banned from all future events. I'm genuinely curious as to why Nintendo Life so closely follows the Melee scene and is keen on reporting its drama. Someone had a random steamed blue crab sitting on a chair....IF THIS ISJT THE MOST MARYLAND THING EVER 😂🤔 pic.twitter.com/XVzWTHtKTa, After the event, DeBiedma went to Twitter to share his thoughts about what had happened and apologized for losing his "temper. Hungrybox also followed up the incident on Twitter, apologising to spectators for losing his temper. We will be perma banning the guy btw. Memes of the crab spread quickly on Twitter, with some joking about the seeming ridiculousness of the whole situation. Deep sea lore Not cutesy internet words.

Well if Hbox continues to win and ratings/views/participation/etc continue to decline rightly or wrongly hbox will be given part of the blame. @Charganium I agree with you. He didn't go overboard with his reaction either, so I don't see how he acted outta line. Following his loss in winners to Cloud 9’s Mang0, Hungrybox made his way through the loser’s bracket to play Mang0 again. I get the arguments that other sports have it much worse, but the immaturity right now in the Melee community has to be addressed.

Wow. Why the hate for HungryBox? @Franklin there's a frood who really knows where his towel is. Picking up the boiled crustacean, DeBiedma yelled at the crowd and asked who had chucked it onto the stage.

... After tournament player Hungrybox … Probably will not be releasing his name publicly but will be submitting it to other Tournament Organizers.

Earlier this month, there was a separate incident at a Melee competition in Vancouver, where a player left the stage mid-game when he couldn't keep up with his opponent's Jigglypuff. And you can't tell me that first line about Melee embarrassing itself isn't negative.

The Super Smash Bros. Melee community continues to embarrass itself, following the latest incident taking place at the "Pound 2019 tournament" in the United States last weekend. Its ok to not like how Hbox plays, or to think that melee is getting really stale, but you should never resort to something like this.
