Ken vs PC Chris at Apex 2015 Salty Suite

[TewnLeenk]

A Super Smash Bros Melee rivalry lasting almost 10 years will be rekindled at this year's Apex Salty Suite, presented by VGBootCamp.

Ken "LiquidKen" Hoang, also known as the "King of Smash" will face off against Christopher "PC Chris" Szygiel. Their rivalry was chronicled in the Smash Brothers documentary. Between 2004-2006, Ken was the undisputed King of Smash and dominated national tournament after national tournament. However, at the 2006 MLG opener in the Meadowlands, New Jersey, Ken was bested by the emerging PC Chris, settling up a rivalry that would span the rest of the MLG season.

This match at the Salty Suite was all set up and put together by professional Smash player and member of Team Liquid, Chillin. Major props to him.

Relive the hype by watching their final battle at MLG 2006 right here.

Wait, since when did PC make a return?

 

[Beach]

Can't wait to see how the two play now a days, man melee seems different than it was back then.

 

[Cthulhu_MD]

Oh man, this will be very exciting to watch when it happens.

I was at MLG Anaheim (2006) when Ken and PC Chris faced-off against each other in Grand Finals. There was a big East Coast vs. West Coast rivalry going on at the time, which made the match even more hyped.

Golden Age Melee <3

Wait, since when did he make a return?

Ken started playing again in 2012. Picked up Sm4sh last year, too. He streams it pretty often too, either training or trolling people who think they are going to get a super-intense match on FG. He got picked up by Liquid in March.
Chris came back in 2014. Placed at Justice 3 I think? Can't think of anything else he's done since tbh. Don't think he plays Sm4sh, don't know what level he's at as of now, but I'd imagine he's pretty incredible. He wrote the textbook Falco.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

Well I wasn't expecting this

Oh my

 

[TheFadedWarrior]

YEAH PC CHRIS!

Hoping PC will win, but either way it will definitely be worth watching.

 

[Greed-checkTheTek]

It seems like a lot of awesome stuff is happening in apex 2015 so many exciting Matchups.

Wait, since when did he make a return?

I don't think he ever did, technically. I guess it's kinda like what Azen's been doing? He's been to a couple Xanadus, but it's not really a "comeback".

 

[Kidney Thief]

I feel like Ken has it in the bag but if PC wins I'll be pleasantly surprised with a good match

 

[Plum]

I'm hoping PC Chris surprises me, because right now I can't help but think Ken's got this easy. Ken plays regularly in the best region in the world, and he's pulled off a lot of upsets, Westballz being the most notable.

 

[Heero Yuy]

Awesome! Get hyyype!

*now waits for an Azen-related announcement*

 

[C-SAF]

Where are u Bombsoldier?

 

[Alex Night]

[BerzerkPixel]

[Pr0fessor Flash]

[Liam_Butler]

Hoping PC will win, but either way it will definitely be worth watching.

Hey man, it could go either way.

 

[Stoven]

inb4 ken sandbags the entire game, isai style

 

[Aninymouse]

inb4 ken sandbags the entire game, isai style

pls no

 

[SupremeSuperiorStick]

Has PC Chris been active recently? Ken has been playing quite a lot since he came back from his retirement, and I have a feeling that this might turn out really bad for PC just like how M2K vs Ken was when he just came back.

 

[AirFair]

[EgeDal]

So they're going to Settle it smash!
