Armada is well known for using dash attacks and uair with Peach a lot, which he uses to set up and execute what some people refer to as an 'Armada Combo'. Although he picked up Peach less than a year ago, he has already fundamentaly changed the way Peach is played in Europe. He is considered the top player in Europe, as well as the main competition for Mango, who is considered unbeatable. Armada is known to switch to Fox if he is uncomfortable in the matchup, or unconfident in his peach. He did so in the final match of his set vs. Mango at Genesis and in doubles vs. Hungrybox and Hax$. He has proved his secondaries to be solid, but not to the point that Mango has reached with his. | |||
