{{ | '''Armada''' is a [[smasher]] from Sweden who [[main]]s {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Fox}} in ''[[Melee]]''. Armada is currently ranked 1st on the [[2016 SSBMRank]] and the [[European Melee Power Rankings]] and as such is widely considered to be the best ''Melee'' player in the world. He is also considered the greatest {{SSBM|Peach}} player of all time, showcasing outstanding skill for many years with a character still considered to be subpar compared to other top tiers. In addition to his legacy as one of the "[[Five Gods]]" of ''Melee'', Armada is considered to be one of the greatest ''Melee'' players of all time. | ||
Armada cemented himself as the best European player in 2009, winning [[SMASH ATTACK]] and [[Epita Smash Arena 3]], and facing Mango in grand finals at [[GENESIS]], his first American major. In 2011 and 2012, he was considered the best player in the world, as he won [[GENESIS 2]], [[Apex 2012]], and [[Apex 2013]]. This was followed by a semi-retirement in 2013 and 2014. | |||
In 2015, Armada retained the title of best player in the world, with major tournament wins including [[EVO 2015]], [[The Big House 5]], and [[Smash Summit]]. Armada began 2016 strong by winning [[GENESIS 3]], but soon entered a slump in which he placed some of his lowest placings in a year at [[Get On My Level 2016]] and [[Battle of the Five Gods]] and also failed to defend his title at [[EVO 2016]]. The latter half of 2016 saw Armada having a much better year, winning [[Smash Summit 3]], [[DreamHack Winter 2016]] and [[UGC Smash Open]], and keeping his 1st place on the 2016 SSBM rankings. | |||

The Peach/{{SSBM|Sheik}} team was considered the best ''Melee'' doubles team in the world from 2011 to 2014, having won nationals such as [[Pound V]], [[Apex 2012]], [[Apex 2013]], [[SKTAR 3]], [[CEO 2014]], and [[Kings of Cali 4]]. They are still considered to be one of the best teams in the world, along with [[PewFat]], as they won [[GENESIS 3]] and [[Smash Summit 3]]. Armada also dominates doubles events at European tournaments with his younger brother {{Sm|Android}}, in what is known as the "UGS Team". Their best achievements include winning [[The Big House 5]] and [[GENESIS 4]] doubles. Armada also used to team with {{Sm|Ice}} and his brother {{Sm|Aniolas}}. | ||
Armada also played ''[[Project M]]'' competitively from 2012-2015, maining {{PM|Pit}}. He was one of the best ''Project M'' players in the world in the 3.02 era, with his precision with Pit's light arrows earning him the nickname "The Swedish Sniper." | |||
Armada | Armada is sponsored by [[Alliance]] since November 6th, 2014<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2li4ro/armada_joins_alliance/</ref>. On December 12th, 2016, [[Alliance]] was spun-off into a player-owned organization by former parent company [[Twitch]]<ref>http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/18262358/2016-evil-geniuses-alliance-leave-parent-company-goodgame</ref>.

=== | ===Rise to fame=== | ||
After a handful of promising performances in locals around his area, Armada surprised the entire European community in July 2007 by claiming 4th place at [[The Renaissance of Smash 4]], his first national, eliminating {{Sm|Faab}} 3-0 in losers' quarters, and even coming close to knocking {{Sm|Amsah}} out in losers' semis (who was then considered the best player in Europe by a sizable margin). | After a handful of promising performances in locals around his area, Armada surprised the entire European community in July 2007 by claiming 4th place at [[The Renaissance of Smash 4]], his first national, eliminating {{Sm|Faab}} 3-0 in losers' quarters, and even coming close to knocking {{Sm|Amsah}} out in losers' semis (who was then considered the best player in Europe by a sizable margin). | ||
Seven months later, at [[Epita Smash Arena 2]] (the largest European tournament at the time), Armada placed 3rd in singles. He lost to {{Sm|Captain Jack}} in winners' semis, and then eliminated {{Sm|Adam}} 3-0 in losers' quarters and {{Sm|Masashi}} 3-1 in losers' semis (including a 4-stock against his Marth in game 4), before losing to Captain Jack 2-4 in losers' finals. | Seven months later, at [[Epita Smash Arena 2]] (the largest European tournament at the time), Armada placed 3rd in singles.

=== | ===Taking the European crown and debuting in the United States=== | ||
In 2009, Armada won his first national, [[SMASH ATTACK]]; although he lost to {{Sm|Zgetto}} 2-4 in winners' finals, he managed to take both sets of grand finals against Zgetto, winning 8-0. He won [[Epita Smash Arena 3]] shortly after without dropping a set, defeating Amsah 4-0 in grand finals. Armada was soon considered the best smasher in Europe. He also attended his first tournament in the United States, [[GENESIS]], in which he won sets against {{Sm|DaShizWiz}}, Mew2King, and Mango in the winners' bracket, playing undefeated before losing to Mango in both sets of grand finals, placing 2nd in the ''Melee'' singles tournament. | In 2009, Armada won his first national, [[SMASH ATTACK]]; although he lost to {{Sm|Zgetto}} 2-4 in winners' finals, he managed to take both sets of grand finals against Zgetto, winning 8-0.

In 2010, Armada attended [[Pound 4]], which was his second tournament in the US. He was upset by {{Sm|SilentSpectre}} in winners' bracket, losing 0-2, though he managed to eliminate {{Sm|Hax}}, {{Sm|Plank}}, {{Sm|Lucky}}, and Mew2King in losers' bracket before being eliminated by Amsah 1-3 in losers' semis, placing 4th in the ''Melee'' singles tournament. Later that year, he placed 2nd in ''Melee'' singles at [[Apex 2010]], defeating {{Sm|Axe}} and {{Sm|Zhu}} in winners' bracket before losing to Hungrybox in winners' semis, and then eliminating PPMD and Mew2King in losers' bracket before losing to Hungrybox 0-3 in grand finals.

=== | ===Period of dominance=== | ||
In 2011, Armada won [[B.E.A.S.T]] without dropping a set, once again defeating Amsah 4-0 in grand finals. At [[Pound V]], he started using {{SSBM|Young Link}} as a counter to Hungrybox's Jigglypuff, and the result was defeating Hungrybox 2-0 in winners' bracket. He also defeated PPMD in winners' finals, but lost to PPMD in both sets of grand finals to take 2nd place in ''Melee'' singles.

He also won [[B.E.A.S.T II]], once again not dropping a single set, and defeating {{Sm|Ice}} 4-0 in grand finals. | ||
In 2012, Armada won ''Melee'' singles at [[Apex 2012]], and also won ''Melee'' doubles with Mew2King. He defeated top professionals such as {{Sm|Shroomed}}, PPMD, Mango, and Hungrybox. At [[Smashers' Reunion: Melee Grande]], he defeated PPMD in winners' finals, lost the first set of grand finals against him, and then won an extremely close second set 4-3. Armada then defended his titles in 2013, winning ''Melee'' singles at [[Apex 2013]] by defeating {{Sm|Silent Wolf}}, {{Sm|Wobbles}}, {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}, Hungrybox, and PPMD once again in grand finals. He also won ''Melee'' doubles with Mew2King by defeating {{Sm|Aza}} and {{Sm|Javi}}, Shroomed and {{Sm|PewPewU}}, and Hungrybox and {{Sm|Plup}} in grand finals. | |||

===Retirement=== | |||
After Apex 2013, Armada [http://smashboards.com/threads/retire.332831/ announced his retirement from competitive ''Melee''] singles events, although he did return to compete in [[EVO 2013]], where he placed 4th, losing to PPMD 0-2 in winners' bracket and being eliminated by Mango 0-2 in losers' semis. | After Apex 2013, Armada [http://smashboards.com/threads/retire.332831/ announced his retirement from competitive ''Melee''] singles events, although he did return to compete in [[EVO 2013]], where he placed 4th, losing to PPMD 0-2 in winners' bracket and being eliminated by Mango 0-2 in losers' semis. | ||
=== | ===Return to the scene=== | ||
After one year, Armada announced his return to the competitive ''Melee'' scene, and entered the [[B.E.A.S.T 4]] ''Melee'' singles tournament, placing 2nd behind {{Sm|Leffen}}. At this point, Armada started using a lot of {{SSBM|Fox}} in singles, alongside his Peach. Armada had previously used Fox sparingly in tournaments, including against Zgetto in winners' finals at SMASH ATTACK, Mango in the second set of grand finals at GENESIS, and in doubles against Hax and Hungrybox at GENESIS. In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weuHWMqwYeU an interview] with Armada at Avalon III, Armada stated that he would be using Fox primarily against Jigglypuff and in the Fox ditto in the future, the matchups he claimed to have the most trouble with using Peach. In the same interview, he also stated that he would be attending major tournaments in the US once again to try and regain his throne, confirming that he was fully active in the scene once again. | After one year, Armada announced his return to the competitive ''Melee'' scene, and entered the [[B.E.A.S.T 4]] ''Melee'' singles tournament, placing 2nd behind {{Sm|Leffen}}.

After winning various tournaments around Europe using a combination of Fox and Peach, Armada attended [[Republic of Fighters 3]], a 5000 point [[MLG Anaheim 2014]] qualifier, in May. He teamed with Ice and won ''Melee'' doubles over Leffen and {{Sm|Fuzzyness}}. In ''Melee'' singles, he defeated {{Sm|Professor Pro}} 2-0 and {{Sm|aMSa}} 3-0 to make it to winners' finals against Leffen, where he won 3-0 in Fox dittos (including a low percent 3-stock in game 3). However, in grand finals, Leffen came back and won 6-0 against Armada's Fox, taking the tournament over Armada. Due to this loss, Armada stated that his Fox was not ready for events in the summer, and that he would likely not use him in singles until next year. He reverted to using Peach against Fox again, subsequently managing to defeat top Fox players in tournament, such as Mango. Despite having claimed to be using Fox against Jigglypuff, Armada also proceeded to use Young Link against Hungrybox, and initially continued to do very well with him, winning their set in pool play at MLG Anaheim 2014 3-0, and also taking two sets off of Hungrybox's Fox primarily using Young Link at CEO 2014. | After winning various tournaments around Europe using a combination of Fox and Peach, Armada attended [[Republic of Fighters 3]], a 5000 point [[MLG Anaheim 2014]] qualifier, in May.

===Reappearing in the United States for the Summer of 2014=== | |||
Armada's first tournament in the United States since EVO 2013 was [[SKTAR 3]], where he placed 4th in ''Melee'' singles, losing to PPMD 1-2 in winners' semis and then beating {{Sm|Westballz}} 2-0 in losers' quarters before being eliminated by Mew2King 1-2 in losers' semis. However, at [[Super SWEET]] the next week, Armada managed to beat Mew2King 3-1 in winners' semis, Mango 3-2 in winners' finals, and Mew2King 3-1 in grand finals, winning the tournament. He proceeded to take 1st place at [[SSS Lock-In]], defeating Mew2King 3-1 once again in grand finals. At all three of these tournaments, Armada won ''Melee'' doubles with Mew2King in a dominant fashion, only dropping one set. | Armada's first tournament in the United States since EVO 2013 was [[SKTAR 3]], where he placed 4th in ''Melee'' singles, losing to PPMD 1-2 in winners' semis and then beating {{Sm|Westballz}} 2-0 in losers' quarters before being eliminated by Mew2King 1-2 in losers' semis.

At [[EVO 2014]], Armada defeated {{Sm|Plup}} and Fly Amanita 2-0 in the winners' quarters pool to make it into the top 8 from winners' bracket. However, in winners' semis, he lost to Hungrybox 1-2. He eliminated Axe 2-1 in losers' quarters and PPMD 2-0 in losers' semis, but lost to Hungrybox again in losers' finals, this time 2-3, placing 3rd overall at the tournament. | At [[EVO 2014]], Armada defeated {{Sm|Plup}} and Fly Amanita 2-0 in the winners' quarters pool to make it into the top 8 from winners' bracket.

Armada's first tournament in Europe since Republic of Fighters 3 was [[COMEBACK I]]. At this tournament, he defeated {{Sm|Dev}} 3-0 in winners' semis to make it to a highly anticipated match against Leffen in winners' finals. He ended up winning this set 3-1. In grand finals, he defeated Leffen again, this time 3-2, winning ''Melee'' singles at the tournament. In ''Melee'' doubles, he placed 2nd with {{Sm|C | ===Post-Summer 2014=== | ||

Later that month, enough funds were raised for Armada and Lucky to attend [[Shadowloo Showdown V]], an Australian national tournament. At this tournament, Armada convincingly won both ''Melee'' singles and ''Melee'' doubles, defeating {{Sm|Dekar}} 3-0, Lucky 3-1, and Lucky 3-0 to win singles, and teaming with {{Sm|Syke}} to take doubles over Lucky and {{Sm|Skeletom}}. | Later that month, enough funds were raised for Armada and Lucky to attend [[Shadowloo Showdown V]], an Australian national tournament.

During 2008 and 2009, Armada occasionally entered ''[[Brawl]]'' tournaments, primarily using {{SSBB|Sheik}}.

Armada | Armada also plays the ''Brawl'' mod, ''[[Project M]]''. He used to main {{PM|Pit}} in version 3.0.2 of [[Project M]], and currently mains {{PM|Fox}} in version 3.5 of the mod. He was considered the premier Pit main in the world during his debut, making full use of his character's aerial combos, followups, and edgeguarding, and infamously disrupting recoveries with [[Palutena's Arrow]], and is still considered one of the two best Pit mains along with ZeRo. Armada won ''Project M'' singles at [[Apex 2014]] and proceeded to win ''Project M'' tournaments without dropping a single set for four months, until {{Sm|Professor Pro}} took a set off of him in winners finals at Smash or DI (though Armada still won two sets of grand finals). He defeated a large number of ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' professionals in tournament with his ''Project M'' Pit, taking sets off of Mew2King, {{Sm|DEHF}}, Mango, and others. SKTAR 3 was the first ''Project M'' tournament that Armada failed to win, placing 5th after losing to {{Sm|Emukiller}} and {{Sm|ESAM}}. | ||
When ''[[Smash 4]]'' first came out, Armada played the game briefly to earn a small amount of winnings outside of ''Melee'' and ''Project M''. As with many players on release, he picked up {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}, and quickly became one of the best Diddy players in Sweden. He consistently got top 4 in ''Smash 4'' tournaments with Diddy, despite not investing much time into the game. After some time passed, Armada stopped entering tournaments; [[DrømmeLAN 4.5]] was his last major ''Smash 4'' tournament, where he did not enter singles. He has not entered any majors since then. | |||

He is most notorious, however, for his punishes and edge-guarding. With Peach, whom he has mained for years, he emphasizes amazing positioning and hitbox placement (decimating most non-top 6 players and consistently playing on par with {{Sm|PPMD}}'s Marth, who is widely regarded as a bad matchup for Peach), strong punishes (capitalizing on the first hit that he lands), and an insane edge-guard game, particularly on spacies. All of this has carried over to his Fox, a much more recent pick-up, where he implements the tools that Peach does not have, such as Fox's shine spike, unparalleled movement and attack speed, and consistent KO options (showcased in his set against {{Sm|Leffen}} at [[Paragon Orlando 2015]], where he 4 and 3 stocked Leffen in two back to back games in the Fox ditto). Armada is not only mechanically strong in Melee, but also has one of the strongest mental games. This is well demonstrated in his matches versus {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, where Armada was the only one of the top Fox players (himself, {{Sm|Mango}}, and Leffen) to effectively counter Hungrybox's use of ledge-stalling at EVO 2015, and single-handedly made Hungrybox completely abandon the tactic altogether in subsequent matches. Because of his mental fortitude, he does not lapse as easily as the other Gods, leading to very consistent tournament results. Armada also possesses an amazing understanding of doubles play, teaming numerous times with {{SSBM|Sheik}} players (his brothers, Mew2King, and {{Sm|Shroomed}}), and netting almost just as many doubles wins as singles. While Peach is still the usual choice in many matchups for Armada, Fox is more of a niche character pick, often reserved for specific player matchups, such as Hungrybox, Leffen, and PPMD (although he generally counterpicks PPMD's Falco with his Peach). | ||
However, for all of his achievements, Armada is not perfect, and has faltered to other top players | However, for all of his achievements, Armada is not perfect, and has faltered to the other top 6 players before. He has been noted to have a tendency of being too optimal in the neutral game, which still has a counter-play that the other five players have successfuly pulled off. Armada is also considerably less consistent with Fox if he is not playing particularly well, which has, at worst, led to a dropped game against {{Sm|Bizzarro Flame}}'s {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} at [[I'm Not Yelling!]]. Mango and Leffen have also exploited this, particularly in [[GENESIS 3]] and [[Battle of the Five Gods]] for Mango and [[Get On My Level 2016]] for Leffen, where Armada's Peach was eventually forced out, and while his Peach is more consistent, it usually cannot perform at the same peak as his Fox. | ||
