{{art-wikipedia|Armada}}

'''Armada''' is a [[smasher]] from Gothenburg, [[Sweden]] who [[main]]s {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Fox}} in ''[[Melee]]''. 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 who is regarded as below the other top tiers in terms of tournament viability. Since 2007, Armada has 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 has lead many to regard Armada as [[Greatest of all time|the greatest ''Melee'' player of all time]].

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. He then regained the title of best player in the world in the following year, with major tournament wins including {{Trn|EVO 2015}}, {{Trn|The Big House 5}}, {{Trn|Smash Summit}}, and remained the best player in the world until the beginning of {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s dominance in 2017. He retired for a second time in 2018, though he briefly remained active as a commentator starting from {{Trn|The Big House 8}}.

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 many majors including {{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}}.

Outside of ''Melee'', Armada also ''[[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." In addition, he had seen some competitive play in the other ''Smash'' titles that came after ''Melee''. His greatest performances in these other ''Smash'' games took place in early-''[[Ultimate]]'' where he was considered one of the best {{SSBU|Inkling}} players from Europe, though he primarily competed outside said region and as such was recognized as an honorable mention on the inaugural [[European Smash Rankings|European Ultimate Power Rankings]]. He was also one of the most successful ''Melee'' players in early-''Ultimate'', having placed 17th at the supermajors {{Trn|Mainstage}} and {{Trn|The Big House 9}} and defeated {{Sm|ZD}} at {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit}}. He stopped competing after {{Trn|DreamHack Winter 2019}} and has fully retired from competitive ''Smash''.

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>

==Tournament history==
===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.

===2009-2010: 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 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. That year, he also won [[Epita Smash Arena 4]] and [[Smash Needs You]].

===2011-2012: 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 debuted 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. 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 {{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.

===2013: Apex 2013, EVO 2013, and Retirement===
Armada later 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.

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.

===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 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 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.

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.

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 {{Sm|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 {{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.

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|p=Sweden}}, losing to {{Sm|Android}} & {{Sm|Zoler}} 2-3 in winners' semis, then defeating them 3-2 in a rematch in losers' finals, and losing to Leffen & {{Sm|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 {{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 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 {{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.

===2016: EVO 2016 and The Big House 6===
[[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===
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}}.

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.

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}}. 

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==
*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).
**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.
<!--{{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}}.-->
*Armada is the first ''Melee'' player ever to utilize {{SSBM|Young Link}} to win [[List_of_major_tournaments_(SSBM)|major or supermajor]] tournaments, doing so at the supermajors [[GENESIS 2]] in 2011, [[Apex 2012]], [[Apex 2013]], and the major [[CEO 2014]].
*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 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 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 and {{Sm|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 {{Trn|CEO 2016}} through {{Trn|CEO 2019}}.
**Armada also won three consecutive [[Tournament:GENESIS (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 did not lose a ''Melee'' set to any 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 became an accomplished ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' speedrunner since retiring from competitive ''Smash'', peaking at 10th place overall (and 1st in Sweden over former world record holder Taggo) on the 70 Star leaderboards for original Nintendo 64 hardware.<ref>https://x.com/ArmadaUGS/status/1961101945625891022</ref>
