'''Armada''' is a [[smasher]] from Sweden who [[main]]s {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Fox}}. Initially considered only a promising player, Armada later emerged as the best Peach player in Europe, and his fame continued to grow in the community. Armada is considered the best Peach main in the world by a wide margin, and also is a top Fox main, taking sets/games off of {{Sm|Leffen}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, {{Sm|PPMD}}, and {{Sm|Mango}} with Fox (going on a tear with Fox in [[Apex 2015]]). Also, with a score of 9.893, the [[2014 SSBMRank]] ranked him as the second best ''Melee'' player in the world, behind only {{Sm|Mango}} and edging out competition from {{Sm|PPMD}} and {{Sm|Mew2King}}. A year later, in the [[2015 SSBMRank]], he was ranked as the best player, with a perfect score of 10. Armada is currently ranked 1st on the [[European Melee Power Rankings]].
{{art-wikipedia|Armada}}


Armada is primarily known for his domination of tournaments in the United States from 2011 until 2013, and domination of tournaments in Europe starting from 2009 until the present, and currently remains one of the two best players in Europe (along with {{Sm|Leffen}}) and one of the top six players in the world (along with Leffen and the four top players in the United States; {{Sm|PPMD}}, Mango, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, and Hungrybox). He is also known for holding a five-year winning streak against Mew2King, not losing to him in ''Melee'' singles tournaments until [[SKTAR 3]] in 2014.
'''Armada''' is a [[smasher]] from Gothenburg, Sweden who [[main]]s {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Fox}} in ''[[Melee]]'' who was formerly ranked 1st on the [[European Melee Power Rankings]] and 2nd on the [[2018 MPGR]]. One of the "[[Five Gods]]" of ''Melee'', he is widely considered the greatest Peach player of all time, showcasing outstanding skill for many years with a character still considered to be subpar compared to other top tiers. Since becoming a top level player in 2007, Armada never placed below 5th at a tournament, won a multitude of majors and supermajors, and cultivated a streak over 8 years long in which he did not drop a serious tournament set to a player outside of ''Melee''{{'}}s upper echelon. His remarkable consistency and numerous periods of dominance lead many to regard Armada as [[Greatest of all time|the greatest ''Melee'' player of all time]].


Armada is also known for his domination of doubles events at American tournaments when teaming with Mew2King. The team was widely considered to be the most dominant ''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]], although this streak eventually ended at [[Paragon Orlando 2015]], where the team lost to {{Sm|Shroomed}} and {{Sm|SFAT}} in winners semis and Leffen and {{Sm|MacD}} in losers semis. The team usually consists of Armada's Peach and Mew2King's {{SSBM|Sheik}}, and both players make great utilization of team combos and setups. They continue to be a dominant team after winning [[GENESIS 3]]. Armada has also dominated doubles events at European tournaments with {{Sm|Ice}} and his brothers {{Sm|Android}} and {{Sm|Aniolas}}, all three of whom are also Sheik players.
Armada cemented himself as the best European player in 2009, winning {{Trn|SMASH ATTACK}} and {{Trn|Epita Smash Arena 3}}, and facing {{Sm|Mango}} in grand finals at {{Trn|GENESIS}}, his first American major.  In 2011 and 2012, he was considered the best player in the world, as he won {{Trn|GENESIS 2}}, {{Trn|Apex 2012}}, and {{Trn|Apex 2013}}. This was followed by a semi-retirement in 2013 which ended with {{Trn|B.E.A.S.T 4}} in 2014.
 
In 2015, Armada regained the title of best player in the world, with major tournament wins including {{Trn|EVO 2015}}, {{Trn|The Big House 5}}, and {{Trn|Smash Summit}}.  Armada began 2016 strong by winning {{Trn|GENESIS 3}}, but soon entered a slump in which he placed some of his lowest placings in a year at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2016}} and {{Trn|Battle of the Five Gods}} and also failed to defend his title at {{Trn|EVO 2016}}.  The latter half of 2016 saw Armada having a much better year, winning {{Trn|Smash Summit 3}}, {{Trn|DreamHack Winter 2016}}, and {{Trn|UGC Smash Open}}, and keeping his 1st place on the 2016 SSBM rankings.
 
Armada is also known for his domination of doubles events at tournaments when teaming with {{Sm|Mew2King}}. The Peach/{{SSBM|Sheik}} team was considered the best ''Melee'' doubles team in the world from 2011 to 2014, having won nationals such as {{Trn|Pound V}}, Apex 2012, Apex 2013, {{Trn|SKTAR 3}}, {{Trn|CEO 2014}}, and {{Trn|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 {{Trn|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 was sponsored by [[Alliance]] on 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>. Armada, along with the original ''Dota 2'' members, was given a percentage of the organization.<ref>http://www.12up.com/posts/4259994-alliance-now-an-independent-esports-organization</ref> Armada would part ways with Alliance on February 16th, 2024, after more than nine years with the organization.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ArmadaUGS/status/1758507104845861355|title=Armada parts ways with Alliance}}</ref>
 
On September 18th, 2018, Armada retired from ''Melee'' singles.<ref>https://twitter.com/ArmadaUGS/status/1042123300472799239/</ref> However, he still occasionally attends tournament to [[commentate]], starting at {{Trn|The Big House 8}}. He also began participating in ''[[Ultimate]]'' tournaments, maining {{SSBU|Inkling}}. While he didn't enter many tournaments, Armada was a force in early ''Ultimate'', defeating players such as {{Sm|ZD}}, {{Sm|Chag}}, {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{Sm|Kiwi}}, and {{Sm|Lemmon}}, as well as placing 17th out of 273 entrants at {{Trn|Mainstage}}, 5th out of 153 entrants at {{Trn|DreamHack Winter 2019}}, and in his most notable performance, 17th out of 1017 entrants at {{Trn|The Big House 9}}.  He was additionally ranked as an Honorable Mention on both the [[Swedish Power Rankings]] and the [[European Smash Rankings]]. Armada would stop competing in ''Ultimate'' after its first year, and has since completely retired from ''Smash''.


==Tournament history==

===Rise to fame===
===Origin of the name===
In 2004, Armada and his brothers {{Sm|Aniolas}} and {{Sm|Android}} entered a [[Nintendo]] contest in Gothenburg, Sweden. Each brother ultimately failed in going through the tournament, Armada specifically mentioning that Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 was the hardest game, as he had never played it up to that point. After the tournament, Adam, Aniolas, and Android, along with 3 other friends founded The [[Ultimate Gamers of Sweden]] or UGS. Patrick, one of these three other founding members gave the name "Armada" to him and he has used it ever since.
 
It was rumored that Armada is short for "Action Replay Adam". AR are the 1st 2 letters and 'mada' is Adam backwards. {{Sm|D1}} spread that rumor while commentating at [[Apex 2012]]. Armada later expressed his hatred for that name calling it "lame".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jw2fuzcwV8</ref>
 
===2007-2008: 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).

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.

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.

He also defeated PPMD in winners' finals, but lost to PPMD in both sets of grand finals to take 2nd place in ''Melee'' singles. Later that year, Armada won his first major tournament in the US, [[GENESIS 2]], where he defeated Mango 3-2 in grand finals. This was the start of a nearly two year long period in which Armada consistently won all of the major nationals in the US that he entered.

===Return to the scene===
===2014: Return to the scene, Competing in Americas, and Continued Success ===
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 {{Sm|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.

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 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.

===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.

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}}.

One week later, Armada attended [[Hit & Stun Tournament 2]] in Spain, and won ''Melee'' singles without dropping a game, defeating {{Sm|Overtriforce}}, Leffen, and Ice. He teamed with {{Sm|Trif}} in ''Melee'' doubles and defeated {{Sm|Strawhat Dahean}} & Overtriforce 3-0 and Leffen & Ice 3-2 to make it to grand finals, where they lost the first set to Leffen and Ice 2-3, but still took the second set 3-1.

In late September, Armada travelled to the United States once again, primarily to attend [[The Big House 4]], a very large national tournament in Michigan featuring competition from all other North America and Europe. During the first week of his stay, Armada won both singles and doubles at [[The Shape of Melee to Come 5]], convincingly defeating Mango 3-1 in winners' finals and 3-0 in grand finals to win singles.

At The Big House 4, Armada defeated {{Sm|Darkrain}} 2-0 to make it into the top 32 bracket, where he defeated SFAT 2-0 and Westballz 3-1 to make it to winners' semis against Leffen, in which he lost a very close set 2-3. After defeating Hax 3-1 in losers' quarters, he was eliminated by Mango 1-3 in losers' semis, placing 4th in ''Melee'' singles. He continued his and Mew2King's winning streaks in ''Melee'' doubles by defeating {{Sm|DoH}} & {{Sm|Colbol}} 3-0 and Hungrybox & Plup 3-1 and 3-0 to take 1st place in ''Melee'' doubles.
 
He left Play-For-Keeps and [[Deadly Alliance]] simultaneously on November 2nd, 2014, the same day that {{Sm|ZeRo}} resigned from [[CLASH Tournaments]]. On November 6th, Swedish team [[Alliance]] announced that they were signing him and entering the ''Smash'' arena.

===2015: EVO 2015 Champion and Post-Dominance ===
[[EVO 2015]] had a total of 1,869 entrants for ''Melee'', surpassing the record set by EVO 2014 and becoming [[List of largest Smash tournaments|one of the largest ''Melee'' tournaments of all time]]. In winners quarters pool, Armada defeated Silent Wolf 2-1 and PewPewU 2-0, to make it into the top 8 via winners' bracket. In the top 8 winners bracket, Armada defeated Hungrybox 2-1 in winners semis and PPMD 3-0 in winners finals. He then once again defeated Hungrybox 3-2 on grand finals, to take 1st place.

After being ranked 1st on the [[2015 SSBMRank]] after winning EVO 2015 and several other tournaments, Armada continued his dominance over other Melee competitors during the first half of 2016 with a string of firsts, only failing to win [[Battle of the Five Gods]], [[Get On My Level 2016]], and [[WTFox 2]]. At [[Enthusiast Gaming Live Expo]], Armada forfeited on day two due to stomach pains, finishing in 17th. At Get On My Level 2016, Armada placed his lowest since [[Paragon Orlando 2015]], placing 5th.


===EVO 2015===
===2016: EVO 2016 and The Big House 6===
[[EVO 2015]] had a total of 1,869 entrants for ''Melee'', surpassing the record set by EVO 2014 and becoming the largest ''Melee'' tournament of all time. In winners quarters pool, Armada defeated Silent Wolf 2-1 and PewPewU 2-0, to make it into the top 8 via winners' bracket. In the top 8 winners bracket, Armada defeated Hungrybox 2-1 in winners semis and PPMD 3-0 in winners finals. He then once again defeated Hungrybox 3-2 on grand finals, to take 1st place.
[[EVO 2016]] is currently the [[List of largest Smash tournaments|largest ''Melee'' tournament of all time]], with Armada in prime position to win his second title after defeating Plup in Winner’s Finals. However, Armada lost in two sets of a Game 10 Grand Finals to Hungrybox in what many consider to be one of the greatest sets of all time, leading Hungrybox to claim his first EVO win.
 
Resuming his dominance after the loss at Evo, Armada won the next 12 tournaments he entered with the exception of [[The Big House 6]], which Mango won. During this time, Armada was rated 1st on the [[2016 SSBMRank]].
 
===2017: No Longer the Best===
After a period of dominance from winning [[GENESIS 4]], [[B.E.A.S.T 7]], and [[Smash Summit Spring 2017]], Armada would end up losing Royal Flush to Mango. This is often jokingly attributed to the ‘Mother’s Day Effect,’ which claims that Mango performs best on Mother’s Day. He would also go on to place 3rd at [[Smash 'N' Splash 3]], losing to Hungrybox and Leffen.
 
Although he would go on to win [[EVO 2017]], defeating Mew2King in Winners Semis and Mango in Winners Finals and Grand Finals, Armada failed to continue his streak of wins. He placed 2nd to Hungrybox at [[GameTyrant Expo 2017]] in a close Game 10 Grand Finals, considered among the best clutches of all time, and 4th at [[The Big House 7]]. He notably lost to Plup 1-3 in Winner’s Semis, his first loss to a Sheik player since losing to Amsah at [[Pound 4]] in 2010. Though he defeated Mango 3-1 in Loser’s Quarters, Armada lost in Loser’s Semis 2-3 to Hungrybox. He would also end up placing 3rd at [[Canada Cup 2017]] (losing 0-3 to Leffen and 2-3 to Mew2King) and 2nd at Smash Summit 5, which marked the end of his Summit win streak, losing to Leffen in Winners Semis and Hungrybox in Grand Finals. As a result of Hungrybox's rise and Armada's decline, the [[2017 SSBMRank]] placed him at 2nd to Hungrybox, marking the first time Armada is not ranked 1st in the rankings since 2014.
 
===2018: Second Retirement===
After failing to win [[Valhalla]], [[GENESIS 5]], and [[Smash Summit 6]], Armada won his first 2018 tournament at [[Battle Arena Melbourne 10]], defeating ChuDat 3-1 in grand finals; he subsequently won [[Smash 'N' Splash 4]], {{Trn|DreamHack Summer 2018}}, and [[Smash Factor 7]]. However, in [[Low Tier City 6]], he was knocked into loser's bracket by Leffen during winner's semis, and was eliminated by Hungrybox in loser's finals, placing 3rd. Because of his relative lack of participation in major tournaments, Armada was ranked 3rd on the [[Summer 2018 MPGR]], marking the first time Armada was not within the top 2 since the start of the SSBMRankings.
 
At [[EVO 2018]], Armada was unexpectedly upset by {{Sm|Swedish Delight}} in round one of Top 48, sending him into an early Loser's Bracket. Despite this, he was able to defeat {{Sm|Gahtzu}}, Mew2King, Zain, S2J, Mang0, Hungrybox, and Plup in an incredible Loser's run, before losing to Leffen 3-0 in Grand Finals, placing 2nd. Armada would next emerge triumphant at [[Super Smash Con 2018]], splitting sets with Mew2King 2-3, 3-2 in a grand finals many consider to be among the greatest ever <ref>https://bignokh.com/2019/05/08/countdown-to-the-book-of-melee-the-top-100-melee-sets-of-all-time-10-1/</ref>. At [[Heir 5]], Armada did not enter singles, however he and Android defeated {{Sm|Overtriforce}} and {{Sm|Trif}} in grand finals, placing 1st.
 
On September 18th, 2018, Armada announced that he was retiring from Melee singles, saying that he no longer has any fun playing in Singles, and stated that he would not be participating in the next Smash Summit. However, he said that he would still participate in doubles, and would be at The Big House 8. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpvqhzKSmxg</ref> His final ranking in the [[MPGR]] was 2nd.


===Other ''Smash'' games===
===Other ''Smash'' games===
During 2008 and 2009, Armada occasionally entered ''Brawl'' tournaments, primarily using {{SSBB|Sheik}}. He won ''Brawl'' singles at SMASH ATTACK and placed 17th in ''Brawl'' singles at GENESIS, though he never made any large impacts in the ''Brawl'' scene and has not played ''Brawl'' competitively since.
During 2008 and 2009, Armada occasionally entered ''[[Brawl]]'' tournaments, primarily using {{SSBB|Sheik}}. He won ''Brawl'' singles at SMASH ATTACK and placed 17th in ''Brawl'' singles at [[GENESIS]], though he never made any large impacts in the ''Brawl'' scene and has not played ''Brawl'' competitively since. He also attended a few ''[[Smash 64]]'' tournaments at that time, maining {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}.
 
Armada also used to play the ''Brawl'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He used to main {{PM|Pit}} in version 3.0.2 of [[Project M]], and later mained {{PM|Peach}} and {{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}}.

SKTAR 3 was the first ''Project M'' tournament that Armada failed to win, placing 5th after losing to {{Sm|Emukiller}} and {{Sm|ESAM}}.
When ''[[Super Smash Bros. 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 and would call ''Smash 4'' his least favourite smash game. Shortly before the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' he began preparing the game by playing ''Smash 4'' again, this time using {{SSB4|Corrin}}, although he did not attend any tournaments during this period.


==Playing Style==
Armada was invited to compete in the {{Trn|Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018}} before the release of ''Ultimate'', where he used {{SSBU|Samus}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, and {{SSBU|Kirby}} to place 4th. After the release of the game and his retirement from ''Melee'' singles, he played ''Ultimate'' on his stream often, spending the majority of his time using {{SSBU|Inkling}}. Armada's first major ''Ultimate'' tournament was to be at {{Trn|Valhalla II}}, but dropped out because of sickness; his major ''Ultimate'' tournament was ultimately {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}, where he placed 97th. Additionally, Armada was one of the six invitees of the first {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit}}. He placed 9th, with his only two wins being {{Sm|ZD}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}}.
All aspects of Armada's gameplay are well-rounded. He is most notorious, however, for his punishes and edge-guarding. As Fox, he is one of the best shine-spikers in the business and has a heavy punish game (showcased in his set against Leffen at Paragon Orlando 2015, where he 4 and 3 stocked Leffen in two back to back games in the Fox ditto). His neutral game with Fox is also amazing, convincingly defeating even the likes of PPMD. However, Armada is most well-known for his Peach, although he has elected to use her for specific match-ups. His Peach emphasizes strong punishes, amazing neutral (consistently playing on par with PPMD's Marth), and an insane edge-guard game. Armada is not only mechanically strong in Melee, but also has one of the strongest mental games out there. This is well demonstrated in his matches versus Hungrybox, where Armada was the only one of the top Fox players (Himself, Mango, and Leffen) to effectively counter Hungrybox's use of ledge-stalling at EVO 2015. Because of his mental game, he does not lapse as easily as the other Gods, leading to very consistent tournament results. Combined with an amazing understanding of doubles play (teaming numerous times with his brothers and Mew2King, and netting almost just as many doubles wins as singles), Armada may just be the most complete player of all time.
 
Following Summit, Armada did not return to competitive ''Ultimate'' until September, where he attended {{Trn|Mainstage}} and {{Trn|The Big House 9}}. His performances at the two majors was better than his previous results, and he placed 17th at both tournaments, even defeating notable players such as {{Sm|Chag}} and {{Sm|Lemmon}} at the former tournament. His performances at these two majors qualified him for nomination for {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 2}}, and he was ultimately voted in on the second round; however, he failed to garner a single win at the second Summit and placed 13th. Armada's final tournament, as well as his only European ''Ultimate'' tournament, was {{Trn|DreamHack Winter 2019}}, where he placed 5th; Armada's lack of any other results in Europe was the reason for his exclusion from the [[European Smash Rankings]], and he was ultimately listed as an honorable mention. Since then, Armada has not entered any ''Smash'' tournament.
 
==Playing style==
All aspects of Armada's gameplay are well-rounded. He is most notorious, however, for his punishes and edge-guarding. Despite the majority of his career being defined by {{SSBM|Peach}}, who is a relatively slow character with merely average range, he was able to emphasize his amazing positioning and hitbox placement, strong punishes, and insane edge-guard game, particularly on spacies. Picking up {{SSBM|Fox}} further highlighted his excellent neutral game, as he was no longer burdened by Peach's speed problems and could now effectively tackle any previous problem matchups using Fox, such as against other floaty characters (most notably {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}) and more passive fast-fallers (in the hands of {{Sm|Leffen}} and later {{Sm|Plup}}). Armada is not only mechanically strong in Melee, but also has one of the strongest mental games; he is one of the few smashers willing to use the timer against the opponent and play more passively, especially before the Fox era. Even when he started using Fox, Armada was the only one of the top Fox players (himself, {{Sm|Mango}}, and {{Sm|Leffen}}) to effectively counter {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s use of ledge-stalling in [[EVO 2015]] using a balance of aggression and passivity that the other Foxes lacked on either side, 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; he can read almost any situation, knows how and when to save his teammates, can capitalize on team combos, and tends to follow simple gameplans that allow almost any fellow smasher to succeed along with him. He has teamed numerous times with various smashers (mostly {{SSBM|Sheik}} players such as his brothers, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, and {{Sm|Shroomed}}), and has netted almost just as many doubles wins as singles. He recruited {{Sm|Snowy}} as a practice partner for the {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} matchup, and has flown him out to events such as Summit in order to prepare for facing Hungrybox in bracket.
 
However, for all of his achievements, Armada is not perfect, and has faltered to other top players several times. He has been noted to have a tendency of being "too optimal" in the neutral game, which lends him to be more predictable (if difficult to approach). His matchup coverage even with his Fox was not ideal, as {{Sm|PPMD}}'s combination of {{SSBM|Falco}} and {{SSBM|Marth}} was reasonably suited to deal with Peach and Fox regardless of Armada's choice. {{SSBM|Sheik}} also became somewhat of a problem during his later years, which ultimately broke his non-top 6 streak. In addition, Armada is heavily reliant on chaingrabs and reacting to approaches when playing Peach against fast-fallers which is why more passive players like Leffen, {{Sm|Swedish Delight}}, and PPMD have been able to force him off Peach. Armada showed to be 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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Armada's precision with {{PM|Pit}}'s [[Palutena's Bow|light arrows]] in ''Project M'' has earned him the nickname "Swedish Sniper". His accuracy with {{SSBM|Peach}}'s [[vegetable|turnips]] also occasionally elicits this title.
*In ''[[Melee]]'', Armada holds positive records against every smasher he has played with the exception of {{Sm|CaptainJack}} (0-2) and {{Sm|SilentSpectre}} (0-1).
*Armada holds positive records against every smasher he has played with the exception of {{Sm|Captain Jack}} (0-2) and {{Sm|SilentSpectre}} (0-1).
**Over 9 years later, it was discovered that Armada's set with SilentSpectre was played with a [[launch rate]] of 0.9 instead of the standard 1.0.
**Armada is the only smasher to have a positive record against {{Sm|Mango}} (18-12).
<!--{{Sm|Replicate}} and {{Sm|Cereal Rabbit}} beat a drunk Armada at {{Trn|Get Smashed at the Foundry}} #40, but these are generally not recognized as losses. This also happened at SaSH6 where a drunk Armada lost to {{Sm|Lordy}} and {{Sm|Mingee}}.-->
<!--{{Sm|Replicate}} and {{Sm|Cereal Rabbit}} beat a drunk Armada at [[Get Smashed at the Foundry]] #40, but these are generally not recognized as losses.-->
*Armada has 10 siblings, including fellow smashers {{Sm|Aniolas}} and {{Sm|Android}}. He is the fifth oldest in his family, and his youngest sibling was born in 2010.
*Armada is {{Sm|Aniolas}}'s younger brother and {{Sm|Android}}'s older brother. He also has nine other siblings.
*Armada formerly held the record of earning the highest payout of any ''Smash'' tournament, having earned $18,006.80 from {{Trn|Smash Summit Spring 2017}}.
*Armada received the largest prize check in a ''Melee'' tournament with a total of $11,525.15 at [[Smash Summit]], surpassing the previous record of $11,214.00 at [[EVO 2015]], which was also won by Armada.
*Armada is a pioneer of what has come to be known as the "Armada Shine." This ''Melee'' tech involves dropping below the ledge as {{SSBM|Fox}}, sometimes very deep, in order to [[Reflector (Fox)|shine]]-spike a Fox or {{SSBM|Falco}} during the vulnerability frames of their [[up special]].
*Armada frequently teams with Sheik players in tournament, most notably Mew2King, Aniolas, Android, Ice, and Shroomed. The Peach-Sheik team in doubles is also considered one of the best synergies, possibly due to Armada's consistently high performances with the aforementioned players.
*Armada and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} are the only two players that have won more than $300,000 in a select Smash title, being ''Melee''.
*Armada is also a pioneer of what has come to be known as the "Armada Shine." This tech involves dropping below the ledge, sometimes very far, in order to shine-spike a Fox or Falco during their vulnerability frames of their up-b. He is very accurate with this technique, which is likely why it is named after him.
*Armada was formerly the only Smash player to have won four consecutive iterations of a major tournament series, with victories at the first four [[Smash Summit]] events. This has since been matched by Hungrybox's four consecutive wins at {{Trn|CEO 2016}} through {{Trn|CEO 2019}}.
**Armada does, however, admit that {{Sm|KJH}} is the one who taught him this technique.
**Armada also won three consecutive [[GENESIS (tournament series)|GENESIS]] tournaments in ''Melee'' singles ({{Trn|GENESIS 2}}, {{Trn|GENESIS 3}}, and {{Trn|GENESIS 4}}). However, Plup won {{Trn|GENESIS 5}}, stopping Armada's streak.
*Armada is the only ''Smash'' player to earn over $100,000 in a respective game in the series, being ''Melee''.
*Armada did not lose a ''Melee'' set to a player outside the [[Summer 2018 MPGR]] top 6<!--THIS INCLUDES PLUP.--> and {{Sm|PPMD}} from 2010 when {{Sm|Amsah}} beat him at {{Trn|Pound 4}} to 2018 when {{Sm|Swedish Delight}} beat him at {{Trn|EVO 2018}}.<!--Leffen and Plup, due to beating every god and occasionally being able to win majors over them, are now widely considered on par with the rest of the Gods.-->
**Upon Leffen defeating every god, some began to call Leffen the "sixth god" having ended the streak in which only the gods themselves could defeat each other consistently. Leffen was added to the "big six" (along with {{Sm|Plup}} after both winning {{Trn|DreamHack Atlanta 2017}} and beating Armada at {{Trn|The Big House 7}}) as a marker of their skill being on par with the rest of the Gods.
*Armada's lowest placing in ''Melee'' tournaments (excluding forfeits and sandbagging) is 5th at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2016}} and {{Trn|Paragon Orlando 2015}}.
*Armada's hatred for [[Jigglypuff]] goes as far back as the Pokémon Anime, where Armada finds her very annoying when she sings or draws on people's faces.
*Armada used to have a part-time job as a substitute teacher during his first retirement from ''Melee''.
*Armada is the target of the {{Sm|Alex19}}-created meme of "{{Sm|Android}} is my brudder", mocking Armada's Swedish accent.
*Armada has revealed who is his favorite player(s) for every ''Smash'' game: {{Sm|Prince}} for ''Smash 64'', Plup and {{Sm|n0ne}} for ''Melee'', {{Sm|Mr.R}} for ''Brawl'', {{Sm|Professor Pro}} for ''Project M'', {{Sm|ZeRo}} for ''Smash 4'', and {{Sm|MkLeo}} for ''Ultimate''.

Armada is a smasher from Gothenburg, Sweden who mains Peach and Fox in Melee who was formerly ranked 1st on the European Melee Power Rankings and 2nd on the 2018 MPGR. One of the "Five Gods" of Melee, he is widely considered the greatest Peach player of all time, showcasing outstanding skill for many years with a character still considered to be subpar compared to other top tiers. Since becoming a top level player in 2007, Armada never placed below 5th at a tournament, won a multitude of majors and supermajors, and cultivated a streak over 8 years long in which he did not drop a serious tournament set to a player outside of Melee's upper echelon. His remarkable consistency and numerous periods of dominance lead many to regard Armada as the greatest Melee player 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 which ended with B.E.A.S.T 4 in 2014.

In 2015, Armada regained 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.

Armada is also known for his domination of doubles events at tournaments when teaming with Mew2King. The Peach/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 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 Ice and his brother Aniolas.

Armada also played Project M competitively from 2012-2015, maining 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 was sponsored by Alliance on November 6th, 2014[1]. On December 12th, 2016, Alliance was spun-off into a player-owned organization by former parent company Twitch[2]. Armada, along with the original Dota 2 members, was given a percentage of the organization.[3] Armada would part ways with Alliance on February 16th, 2024, after more than nine years with the organization.[4]

On September 18th, 2018, Armada retired from Melee singles.[5] However, he still occasionally attends tournament to commentate, starting at The Big House 8. He also began participating in Ultimate tournaments, maining Inkling. While he didn't enter many tournaments, Armada was a force in early Ultimate, defeating players such as ZD, Chag, ZeRo, Kiwi, and Lemmon, as well as placing 17th out of 273 entrants at Mainstage, 5th out of 153 entrants at DreamHack Winter 2019, and in his most notable performance, 17th out of 1017 entrants at The Big House 9. He was additionally ranked as an Honorable Mention on both the Swedish Power Rankings and the European Smash Rankings. Armada would stop competing in Ultimate after its first year, and has since completely retired from Smash.

Tournament history[edit]

Origin of the name[edit]

In 2004, Armada and his brothers Aniolas and Android entered a Nintendo contest in Gothenburg, Sweden. Each brother ultimately failed in going through the tournament, Armada specifically mentioning that Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 was the hardest game, as he had never played it up to that point. After the tournament, Adam, Aniolas, and Android, along with 3 other friends founded The Ultimate Gamers of Sweden or UGS. Patrick, one of these three other founding members gave the name "Armada" to him and he has used it ever since.

It was rumored that Armada is short for "Action Replay Adam". AR are the 1st 2 letters and 'mada' is Adam backwards. D1 spread that rumor while commentating at Apex 2012. Armada later expressed his hatred for that name calling it "lame".[6]

2007-2008: Rise to fame[edit]

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 Faab 3-0 in losers' quarters, and even coming close to knocking 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 Captain Jack in winners' semis, and then eliminated Adam 3-0 in losers' quarters and 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.

2009-2010: Taking the European crown and debuting in the United States[edit]

In 2009, Armada won his first national, SMASH ATTACK; although he lost to 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 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 2010, Armada attended Pound 4, which was his second tournament in the US. He was upset by SilentSpectre in winners' bracket, losing 0-2, though he managed to eliminate Hax, Plank, 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 Axe and 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. That year, he also won Epita Smash Arena 4 and Smash Needs You.

2011-2012: Period of Dominance[edit]

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 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. Later that year, Armada won his first major tournament in the US, GENESIS 2, where he defeated Mango 3-2 in grand finals. This was the start of a nearly two year long period in which Armada won singles at every tournament he entered, including several US nationals. He also won B.E.A.S.T II, once again not dropping a single set, and defeating 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 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.

2013: Apex 2013, EVO 2013, and Retirement[edit]

Armada later defended his titles in 2013, winning Melee singles at Apex 2013 by defeating Silent Wolf, Wobbles, KirbyKaze, Hungrybox, and PPMD once again in grand finals. He also won Melee doubles with Mew2King by defeating Aza and JAVI, Shroomed and PewPewU, and Hungrybox and Plup in grand finals.

After Apex 2013, Armada 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.

2014: Return to the scene, Competing in Americas, and Continued Success[edit]

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 Leffen. At this point, Armada started using a lot of 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 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 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 Fuzzyness. In Melee singles, he defeated Professor Pro 2-0 and 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.

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 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.

Having qualified for the championship bracket at MLG Anaheim 2014 due to his strong placements at Republic of Fighters 3 and SKTAR 3, Armada managed to defeat every player in his pool without dropping a set. He beat Mew2King 3-0 in winners' semis, but lost to Mango 2-3 in winners' finals. After eliminating Mew2King 3-2 in losers' finals, he once again lost to Mango 2-3 in grand finals, taking 2nd place at the tournament. Armada later attended CEO 2014, where he beat Hungrybox 2-1 in winners' semis, and lost to Mango 1-3 in winners' finals. After eliminating Hungrybox 3-0 in losers' finals, he managed to win both sets of grand finals against Mango (3-0 and 3-1) to take 1st place at the tournament.

Armada's next tournament was Kings of Cali 4, where he defeated Lucky and Fly Amanita 3-0 before reaching winners' finals against Mango, where he lost 1-3. He eliminated Mew2King 3-0 in losers' finals, and took the first set of grand finals against Mango 3-0, though still lost the second set 1-3, placing 2nd overall in singles at the tournament. CEO 2014 and Kings of Cali 4 also extended Armada and Mew2King's dominance in Melee doubles events.

At EVO 2014, Armada defeated 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.

Armada's first tournament in Europe since Republic of Fighters 3 was COMEBACK I. At this tournament, he defeated 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 C, losing to Android & Zoler 2-3 in winners' semis, then defeating them 3-2 in a rematch in losers' finals, and losing to Leffen & Beat 1-3 in grand finals.

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 Dekar 3-0, Lucky 3-1, and Lucky 3-0 to win singles, and teaming with Syke to take doubles over Lucky and Skeletom.

One week later, Armada attended Hit & Stun Tournament 2 in Spain, and won Melee singles without dropping a game, defeating Overtriforce, Leffen, and Ice. He teamed with Trif in Melee doubles and defeated Strawhat Dahean & Overtriforce 3-0 and Leffen & Ice 3-2 to make it to grand finals, where they lost the first set to Leffen and Ice 2-3, but still took the second set 3-1.

In late September, Armada traveled to the United States once again, primarily to attend The Big House 4, a very large national tournament in Michigan featuring competition from all other North America and Europe. During the first week of his stay, Armada won both singles and doubles at The Shape of Melee to Come 5, convincingly defeating Mango 3-1 in winners' finals and 3-0 in grand finals to win singles.

At The Big House 4, Armada defeated Darkrain 2-0 to make it into the top 32 bracket, where he defeated SFAT 2-0 and Westballz 3-1 to make it to winners' semis against Leffen, in which he lost a very close set 2-3. After defeating Hax 3-1 in losers' quarters, he was eliminated by Mango 1-3 in losers' semis, placing 4th in Melee singles. He continued his and Mew2King's winning streaks in Melee doubles by defeating DoH & Colbol 3-0 and Hungrybox & Plup 3-1 and 3-0 to take 1st place in Melee doubles.

He left Play-For-Keeps and Deadly Alliance simultaneously on November 2nd, 2014, the same day that ZeRo resigned from CLASH Tournaments. On November 6th, Swedish team Alliance announced that they were signing him and entering the Smash arena.

2015: EVO 2015 Champion and Post-Dominance[edit]

EVO 2015 had a total of 1,869 entrants for Melee, surpassing the record set by EVO 2014 and becoming one of the largest Melee tournaments of all time. In winners quarters pool, Armada defeated Silent Wolf 2-1 and PewPewU 2-0, to make it into the top 8 via winners' bracket. In the top 8 winners bracket, Armada defeated Hungrybox 2-1 in winners semis and PPMD 3-0 in winners finals. He then once again defeated Hungrybox 3-2 on grand finals, to take 1st place.

After being ranked 1st on the 2015 SSBMRank after winning EVO 2015 and several other tournaments, Armada continued his dominance over other Melee competitors during the first half of 2016 with a string of firsts, only failing to win Battle of the Five Gods, Get On My Level 2016, and WTFox 2. At Enthusiast Gaming Live Expo, Armada forfeited on day two due to stomach pains, finishing in 17th. At Get On My Level 2016, Armada placed his lowest since Paragon Orlando 2015, placing 5th.

2016: EVO 2016 and The Big House 6[edit]

EVO 2016 is currently the largest Melee tournament of all time, with Armada in prime position to win his second title after defeating Plup in Winner’s Finals. However, Armada lost in two sets of a Game 10 Grand Finals to Hungrybox in what many consider to be one of the greatest sets of all time, leading Hungrybox to claim his first EVO win.

Resuming his dominance after the loss at Evo, Armada won the next 12 tournaments he entered with the exception of The Big House 6, which Mango won. During this time, Armada was rated 1st on the 2016 SSBMRank.

2017: No Longer the Best[edit]

After a period of dominance from winning GENESIS 4, B.E.A.S.T 7, and Smash Summit Spring 2017, Armada would end up losing Royal Flush to Mango. This is often jokingly attributed to the ‘Mother’s Day Effect,’ which claims that Mango performs best on Mother’s Day. He would also go on to place 3rd at Smash 'N' Splash 3, losing to Hungrybox and Leffen.

Although he would go on to win EVO 2017, defeating Mew2King in Winners Semis and Mango in Winners Finals and Grand Finals, Armada failed to continue his streak of wins. He placed 2nd to Hungrybox at GameTyrant Expo 2017 in a close Game 10 Grand Finals, considered among the best clutches of all time, and 4th at The Big House 7. He notably lost to Plup 1-3 in Winner’s Semis, his first loss to a Sheik player since losing to Amsah at Pound 4 in 2010. Though he defeated Mango 3-1 in Loser’s Quarters, Armada lost in Loser’s Semis 2-3 to Hungrybox. He would also end up placing 3rd at Canada Cup 2017 (losing 0-3 to Leffen and 2-3 to Mew2King) and 2nd at Smash Summit 5, which marked the end of his Summit win streak, losing to Leffen in Winners Semis and Hungrybox in Grand Finals. As a result of Hungrybox's rise and Armada's decline, the 2017 SSBMRank placed him at 2nd to Hungrybox, marking the first time Armada is not ranked 1st in the rankings since 2014.

2018: Second Retirement[edit]

After failing to win Valhalla, GENESIS 5, and Smash Summit 6, Armada won his first 2018 tournament at Battle Arena Melbourne 10, defeating ChuDat 3-1 in grand finals; he subsequently won Smash 'N' Splash 4, DreamHack Summer 2018, and Smash Factor 7. However, in Low Tier City 6, he was knocked into loser's bracket by Leffen during winner's semis, and was eliminated by Hungrybox in loser's finals, placing 3rd. Because of his relative lack of participation in major tournaments, Armada was ranked 3rd on the Summer 2018 MPGR, marking the first time Armada was not within the top 2 since the start of the SSBMRankings.

At EVO 2018, Armada was unexpectedly upset by Swedish Delight in round one of Top 48, sending him into an early Loser's Bracket. Despite this, he was able to defeat Gahtzu, Mew2King, Zain, S2J, Mang0, Hungrybox, and Plup in an incredible Loser's run, before losing to Leffen 3-0 in Grand Finals, placing 2nd. Armada would next emerge triumphant at Super Smash Con 2018, splitting sets with Mew2King 2-3, 3-2 in a grand finals many consider to be among the greatest ever [7]. At Heir 5, Armada did not enter singles, however he and Android defeated Overtriforce and Trif in grand finals, placing 1st.

On September 18th, 2018, Armada announced that he was retiring from Melee singles, saying that he no longer has any fun playing in Singles, and stated that he would not be participating in the next Smash Summit. However, he said that he would still participate in doubles, and would be at The Big House 8. [8] His final ranking in the MPGR was 2nd.

Other Smash games[edit]

During 2008 and 2009, Armada occasionally entered Brawl tournaments, primarily using Sheik. He won Brawl singles at SMASH ATTACK and placed 17th in Brawl singles at GENESIS, though he never made any large impacts in the Brawl scene and has not played Brawl competitively since. He also attended a few Smash 64 tournaments at that time, maining Captain Falcon.

Armada also used to play the Brawl mod Project M. He used to main Pit in version 3.0.2 of Project M, and later mained Peach and 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 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, DEHF, Mango, and others. SKTAR 3 was the first Project M tournament that Armada failed to win, placing 5th after losing to Emukiller and ESAM.

When Super Smash Bros. 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 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 and would call Smash 4 his least favourite smash game. Shortly before the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate he began preparing the game by playing Smash 4 again, this time using Corrin, although he did not attend any tournaments during this period.

Armada was invited to compete in the Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018 before the release of Ultimate, where he used Samus, Pokémon Trainer, and Kirby to place 4th. After the release of the game and his retirement from Melee singles, he played Ultimate on his stream often, spending the majority of his time using Inkling. Armada's first major Ultimate tournament was to be at Valhalla II, but dropped out because of sickness; his major Ultimate tournament was ultimately GENESIS 6, where he placed 97th. Additionally, Armada was one of the six invitees of the first Smash Ultimate Summit. He placed 9th, with his only two wins being ZD and ZeRo.

Following Summit, Armada did not return to competitive Ultimate until September, where he attended Mainstage and The Big House 9. His performances at the two majors was better than his previous results, and he placed 17th at both tournaments, even defeating notable players such as Chag and Lemmon at the former tournament. His performances at these two majors qualified him for nomination for Smash Ultimate Summit 2, and he was ultimately voted in on the second round; however, he failed to garner a single win at the second Summit and placed 13th. Armada's final tournament, as well as his only European Ultimate tournament, was DreamHack Winter 2019, where he placed 5th; Armada's lack of any other results in Europe was the reason for his exclusion from the European Smash Rankings, and he was ultimately listed as an honorable mention. Since then, Armada has not entered any Smash tournament.

Playing style[edit]

All aspects of Armada's gameplay are well-rounded. He is most notorious, however, for his punishes and edge-guarding. Despite the majority of his career being defined by Peach, who is a relatively slow character with merely average range, he was able to emphasize his amazing positioning and hitbox placement, strong punishes, and insane edge-guard game, particularly on spacies. Picking up Fox further highlighted his excellent neutral game, as he was no longer burdened by Peach's speed problems and could now effectively tackle any previous problem matchups using Fox, such as against other floaty characters (most notably Jigglypuff) and more passive fast-fallers (in the hands of Leffen and later Plup). Armada is not only mechanically strong in Melee, but also has one of the strongest mental games; he is one of the few smashers willing to use the timer against the opponent and play more passively, especially before the Fox era. Even when he started using Fox, Armada was the only one of the top Fox players (himself, Mango, and Leffen) to effectively counter Hungrybox's use of ledge-stalling in EVO 2015 using a balance of aggression and passivity that the other Foxes lacked on either side, 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; he can read almost any situation, knows how and when to save his teammates, can capitalize on team combos, and tends to follow simple gameplans that allow almost any fellow smasher to succeed along with him. He has teamed numerous times with various smashers (mostly Sheik players such as his brothers, Mew2King, and Shroomed), and has netted almost just as many doubles wins as singles. He recruited Snowy as a practice partner for the Jigglypuff matchup, and has flown him out to events such as Summit in order to prepare for facing Hungrybox in bracket.

However, for all of his achievements, Armada is not perfect, and has faltered to other top players several times. He has been noted to have a tendency of being "too optimal" in the neutral game, which lends him to be more predictable (if difficult to approach). His matchup coverage even with his Fox was not ideal, as PPMD's combination of Falco and Marth was reasonably suited to deal with Peach and Fox regardless of Armada's choice. Sheik also became somewhat of a problem during his later years, which ultimately broke his non-top 6 streak. In addition, Armada is heavily reliant on chaingrabs and reacting to approaches when playing Peach against fast-fallers which is why more passive players like Leffen, Swedish Delight, and PPMD have been able to force him off Peach. Armada showed to be considerably less consistent with Fox if he is not playing particularly well, which has, at worst, led to a dropped game against Bizzarro Flame's 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.

Trivia[edit]

  • In Melee, Armada holds positive records against every smasher he has played with the exception of CaptainJack (0-2) and SilentSpectre (0-1).
    • Over 9 years later, it was discovered that Armada's set with SilentSpectre was played with a launch rate of 0.9 instead of the standard 1.0.
  • Armada has 10 siblings, including fellow smashers Aniolas and Android. He is the fifth oldest in his family, and his youngest sibling was born in 2010.
  • Armada formerly held the record of earning the highest payout of any Smash tournament, having earned $18,006.80 from Smash Summit Spring 2017.
  • Armada is a pioneer of what has come to be known as the "Armada Shine." This Melee tech involves dropping below the ledge as Fox, sometimes very deep, in order to shine-spike a Fox or Falco during the vulnerability frames of their up special.
  • Armada and Hungrybox are the only two players that have won more than $300,000 in a select Smash title, being Melee.
  • Armada was formerly the only Smash player to have won four consecutive iterations of a major tournament series, with victories at the first four Smash Summit events. This has since been matched by Hungrybox's four consecutive wins at CEO 2016 through CEO 2019.
  • Armada did not lose a Melee set to a player outside the Summer 2018 MPGR top 6 and PPMD from 2010 when Amsah beat him at Pound 4 to 2018 when Swedish Delight beat him at EVO 2018.
    • Upon Leffen defeating every god, some began to call Leffen the "sixth god" having ended the streak in which only the gods themselves could defeat each other consistently. Leffen was added to the "big six" (along with Plup after both winning DreamHack Atlanta 2017 and beating Armada at The Big House 7) as a marker of their skill being on par with the rest of the Gods.
  • Armada's lowest placing in Melee tournaments (excluding forfeits and sandbagging) is 5th at Get On My Level 2016 and Paragon Orlando 2015.
  • Armada's hatred for Jigglypuff goes as far back as the Pokémon Anime, where Armada finds her very annoying when she sings or draws on people's faces.
  • Armada used to have a part-time job as a substitute teacher during his first retirement from Melee.
  • Armada is the target of the Alex19-created meme of "Android is my brudder", mocking Armada's Swedish accent.
  • Armada has revealed who is his favorite player(s) for every Smash game: Prince for Smash 64, Plup and n0ne for Melee, Mr.R for Brawl, Professor Pro for Project M, ZeRo for Smash 4, and MkLeo for Ultimate.
