One crucial error cost Hungrybox a Smash Melee Major—and potentially set up a Mang0 money match
Juan “Hungrybox” Debiedma is a decorated Super Smash Bros. Melee veteran with wins at many of the largest tournaments: Evo, Genesis, CEO, Shine—he has trophies for them all. Yet despite his dominant track record, he has yet to win at Super Smash Con, one of the most competitive annual events, set in Chantilly, Virginia.
Hungrybox is a Jigglypuff main and No. 8 player in the world, as of the summer rankings unveiled live at Smash Con. He’s well known for his ability to always mount a comeback. And to emphasize this strength, he makes the most of one of Jigglypuff’s most devastating moves: Rest. By using her down-special, she puts herself to sleep for a little over four seconds, but becomes invincible for the first half-second. This might not sound impactful, but what makes the move so potent is that on the very first frame, Jigglypuff has a small hitbox inside her body that, when it connects with an opponent, sends them flying and KOs at an absurdly low percent.
