1. But then Hungrybox came from behind to win the first set in a dramatic finish that paved the way for his eventual victory. Nintendoβs Melee is quick and technical, but moments like the one at the end of the first setβs fifth match show just how elegant it can appear when all the pieces fall into place. On the brink of death, Hungrbox manages to land a six-hit combo in the span of a few seconds that sends Armada flying off the stage.
