The popoff is one of the most electrifying moments in Smash, or any sport for that matter. But nobody in Melee does it quite like @hungrybox.

    Everytime Cody wins a Major, in my head I hear, "YEAH, YEAH, YHEAH, YEAHHH, GOOD SHIT JUAN, GOOD SHIT JUAN, WAHHYYAHHHH......."
  • @brayden9358
    Cody "Cody Schwab" Schwab Youve said it so much that these words sound made up lmao
  • @elmagogog4190
    "Most people think my pop-offs are excessive," Hbox said, "but what they don’t realize is that most of them are barely detectable." "I guess we only notice the big ones, huh?” I said. Hbox began to walk away. "Oh, and buddy?” he said, turning back. "I'm popping off right now." -Deep Leffen Bot

    Walt's video on the Pop-Off that killed a man is how I found his channel. Happy to see we've come full circle
  • @CSharpM7_
    We are forgetting about something very important: Cody "I Did More Work Than The Average Person" Schwab didn't just go from point A to point B, he went from A to B to A to C across both the horizontal and vertical planes. He did enough work to lift himself, a (presumably) 170lb man, off the ground ~7 times. It may not be enough work to surpass potentially breaking his own foot, but it might come close to flinging a chair
  • @rizkunisnator
    Walt's idea of a joke is to make a standard Game Theory video
  • @ry-x
    I didn't think this was a April fools video til he said "totally real analysis" cuz this just feels like something Walt would do
  • @Korvonus
    You’re not factoring in the fact that Cody stopped Hbox’s pop off meaning he had Hbox’s amount of work just to stop Hbox
  • @notoriousquinnb
    The gyatt coefficient is not something I thought I would hear ever, well done.
  • I really wanted to quote a passage from TheTurnip's satire article "Deranged Hungrybox Won’t Stop Edgeguarding Kids at the Playground" but the server that host the website is down now. No doubt caused by the deep pockets of Hbox himself. This is the worst april fools day ever :(
  • @DrunkenHotei
    I majored in physics, and you had me going for 6 whole minutes.
  • @MarioSMG64
    This moment was so iconic that it overshadowed the other really funny part of that set: the crowd counting the times HBox grabbed ledge. Definitely dealt some psychic damage to Cody.
  • @RishiRamraj
    "No chair has been safe since." This hit so hard.
  • @krusher181
    That time Hbox almost broke his foot kicking a chair is amazing. Hard to believe that happened sometimes. So funny
  • @crondog
    I think a better way to go about it would to calculate how much energy it takes for each jump Cody makes. Also the chair equation needs to use the mass of the chair not hbox and also take gravity into consideration. I expected more rigor out of this...
