Axe is a risk-taker.
He devoted the better part of his life to Super Smash Bros. Melee – a game that could never be a career for anyone but the world’s best players. And he did it with a character everyone said would never be a winner.
Except everyone was wrong.
Axe devoted 13 years of his life to Pikachu, a low-tier that shouldn’t have been able to win in a game dominated by a select few top tiers. And after more than a decade of grinding, he finally won.

Life immitates art
he could actually pass for a real life ash
Axe or Ash?
Pika Pika
AXSH?
RESPECT! 👌🏼
Axe should change his ign as "Ash"
Yo, I love this man. Daniel, I love you, homie. Your voice, your energy, and your facial expressions make me, as the viewer, feel like you genuinely care about all of this stuff. It's much more enjoyable to watch a video when you feel like the production side enjoyed making it.
Keep up the great work, man!
Same to the scripting team, as well as editing team and everyone else at theScore esports!!
This and the panda just goes to show that even if your main isn't top tier, that doesn't mean they'll never win. This goes for all games with character selects and tier lists. Overwatch, Pokemon, smash, league, and Any others.
The true Ash
6:24 Mordecai joins the battle!
Axe makes me freaking smile. I need to find him and give him the biggest hug ever
This guy is Ash in our world, but way better
Did he really cry? Over such a kiddie ass game thats Lucky to even have a pro scene? ROFL ez emo..put down the razor blade.
Damn axe really said "Started at the checkout, now we casHERE"
Wow, that’s some determination, dedication and drive right there!
I’m sorry but pikachu was always disgustingly broken.
Rangchu uses a panda in Tekken
Nobody but Axe: Pikachu, i choose you.
It's like saying how weak teams can't win since they struggle everytime, but then shit on everyone especially top tier teams XD when it matters
Reading the title i tought it was about Ash Ketchum
I got respect for thisdude… hbox did it with puff and he did it with pikachu…. they stayed true to their mains while everybody else is to busy chasing the meta…. like sure you win but when you find that true connection with your main and actually learn how to play them and how to get around their weaknesses do you truly earn a win….. both of them are living proof that dedicating yourselves shows results….. play, experience, adapt, and play some more…. thats how you get better, thats how you win
Shed a thug tear
why are they using old tv for tournament?
3:02 The "five gods", wtf? Did real life just become an anime?
Wait. So he beat 3 gods? Damn
I love M2K reaction when he lost to him
so he's basically ash ketchum.
I still think winning Genesis against HBox would have been the ultimate achievement 🙁
Let's get one with aMSa and Yoshi
imagine thinking melle is an actual good fighting game xD
I used to always pick Pikachu when I was little, then years later when I discovered the competitive scene I was surprised to see that there was only one person using Pikachu competitively. I instantly became an Axe fan and rooted for him for years. When he finally won that major I cried along with him. I love not only his play style but also who he is as a person, I can't wait to see more from Axe and Pikachu.
Beginning at 7:50 you listen to the same "omg" and "Awwwws" like 5 times. Top tier commentary.
Has there always been a gundam game on the arcade in the background?
Is the title of this video suppose to be clickbait, or just derpiness?
Idiots, he's not the only Pikachu in the world. He's a human, not a character, and there's other people who play characters… it's not only available to this one player.
