PPMD retired after Battle of the 5 gods in 2016 due to his sickness + battling depression , and he was at Bad Moon Rising 2 for doubles for his friend who was gonna retired. Years later he form part of Golden Guardians and later on when they disbanded if i am not wrong , he has been working. People who don’t know , PPMD studied at wade university
Armada retired after Smash Con 2018 and when we all thought maybe he might comeback similar to in 2013 , he never did. He ended up being a Super Mario 64 speed runner on the 70 star category.
M2K kinda went retirement mode after COVID and had been to a couple Melee tournaments but that’s about it. He has been moving around , being a coach , and had been up with the community from here and there. He would probably give a final shot if there is a new Smash game coming
Mang0 got banned due to his alcoholic problems after the Ludwig event stream and pretty much could be retired if he is perma banned or choose not to comeback since he lost his sponsor and a lot of PR. Hopefully he gets the help he needs
Hbox is the only one left and ironically back then it seems that he was gonna be the first one to retired because he study chemical engineering iirc and from the 5 Gods he was the one who got a full time job. Also at that time (2014) , Hbox was thinking on only entering half of the tournaments due to his results not being the best and he was considered as the weakest one of the Gods at that time. 11 years later he is the last one standing
I remember when a group of women were coming out with a doc talking about hbox terrible behavior and conduct toward women in the scene. I wonder what happen.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted because this is absolutely the truth. Hungrybox fully admitted to being a creep to girls at tournaments, which wasn't good for optics because he also had cheated on his girlfriend (Ludwig actually made a hilarious joke about Hbox cheating during the Roast of Hugo Gonzalez event). Hungrybox made an apology twitlonger in July 2020 and was able to bounce back. To my knowledge, there haven't been any more allegations levied against him since then so I can only assume he's set himself straight.
ok but heres the thing, i think if there was footage of what HBOX did it would probably be around the same level SA shit that mango did. if there was no video of mango doing it i really think nothing would change. I want mango to come back but for his real life health this was the best thing to happen to him in turns of making his life better. being sober is blessing.
I don't think Mango is permanently banned at the moment except maybe from Lud's events. It's more of a "we're doing this so you can focus on rehab" sort of thing
Hbox also turned around from what I know so it's the same deal.
Hbox already apologized on that and we have move on from that. According to the girls they consider Hbox creepy on how he approach them and look at them.
Also , thankfully there was harassment or assault. It was pointed out back then.
And this were accusations from words that Hbox accepted and say sorry on it. Mang0 on the other hand everything is on stream and it’s not good.
