Selfless HugS on his Craziest Stream Moment and being the Melee "Grandpa" | SSBM Esports Interview

During our trip to Los Angeles, we ran into a bar full of top-level Melee players during a weekly series titled "Friday Night Turnip" hosted by Mike Haze. Among them is Hugo "HugS" Gonzales, a professional Samus main ranked 38th on the 2016 MIOM Power Rankings. Here, he fills us in on his origins as a Melee player, the first piece of tech he learned, and being an elder in the grassroots Melee community.
