Melee is traditionally only played on GameCube controllers, and most tournaments ban anything else because of fears of creating unfair advantages (primary concerns being with analog vs. digital inputs, etc).

Hax literally broke his hand playing the game, and now he has arthritis, but he still wanted to play, so with some help, he developed an ergonomic box controller to allow him to keep playing without any health risks. Trouble is, few large tournaments let him actually use it—so it's surprising to see.

I'm happy for him, but I wonder how he got away with it.

Guilty Gear was more entertaining than I thought

Verbatim · July 15, 2017, 03:07:55 AM

Looks like a pretty dope game, it's a shame no one plays it.

Mandatory unlikely call that I always throw out - S2J, N0ne or Wizzy will be the first non god to beat Armada.

Top player privilege or good relationship with the TO. At the end of the day you can normally fly below the radar on a few rules by being nice to the TO's and showing up to your sets on time. Also aside from PPMD, Hax is easily the most prolific player to be absent from the game for as long as he has. A lot of people (myself included) are pretty much aching to see him return to form and majors will be the best place to work on that.

Braixen · July 15, 2017, 02:59:02 PM

Did Tokido and Daigo already play?

Predictably: Armada, Mew2King, Hungrybox, and Mango qualified for top 8 winner's side.

Armada and Mew2King sent Axe and Leffen to loser's, respectively.

Hungrybox almost lost to SFAT and Mango almost lost to Prince Abu, of all people, but they both made it.

Elai · July 15, 2017, 09:54:27 PM

Leffen's done.

He played like shit.

Two white commentators? That's unheard of.

Elai · July 15, 2017, 09:58:11 PM

So what, when's the top 8 start?
