Melee I am Hungrybox. I play Jigglypuff in SSBM, which made a lot of people upset over the years. Ask me Anything!

I figured I would do this since APEX 2014 is around the corner. I want to answer all sorts of questions about Smash and Life in general.

Disclaimer: I won't answer questions about Mango/his AMA. He's a father now and I'd rather not put any stress or dumb stuff on his family. The baby is cute as fuck too. I look forward to playing him and the other pros in a couple of weeks!

Well, I chose puff because she had Rest and I thought it was a super funny move to use on my friends. I realized it was easier to use than most people made it out to be, and so I took advantage of it.

The fact that I jump with up, L-cancel with Z, and wavedash with Up-R-Down might have put me off to an odd start in terms of being technical. I can actually be very technical with characters like Ness because my style allows things like DJC to be very simple. Playing Fox and Falco has always been tricky for me but recently I figured out a way to play Falco which suits me.

It really baffles me how people can be so fast with these characters. Super impressive to watch people like PP, Hax, Mango, Colbol, Javi, etc. just tear apart other players with complete control of frame-perfect speed. It's practically inhuman.

Don't you find this to be incredibly limiting? How do you short hop fast fall UAIR L-cancel?

Holy crap, you also jump with up?

I main spacies in Melee and people were always shocked when they looked at my controller and saw I use up to jump. Obviously, I'm no Silent Wolf, but it always surprised people at tournaments.
