Violence
Smash Lord
I practice regularly against comps now...
Thinking about how most of the players I know of would react...
There was a moment I was playing against a Lv 9 Doc and I di'd the wrong way after a dthrow uair, got a flash of Dajuan nailing me with a fair.
Brandon ****** my grapple recovery if I don't space it and time it differently every time.
Phil tipper fsmashing me out of **** nowhere.
Justin hitting me with about 40 fairs in a row.
Jeff hitting me with 4 knees.
God, I miss Norcal. Came home for a weekend and played around 20-24 hours of Melee and I still felt like I could play a lot more after I left. Melee has never really been about the competition, and I've never had the ambition to be the best, but every time I play, I try to take away something new and learn something to get at least a little less bad.
I don't really understand what everyone's talking about. The lack of a scene? Aren't you posting in a thread for a tournament that had like 35+ people and 13 setups?
People lose their motivation to get better. It's a natural thing, especially with a game as old and deep as Melee. As people play more, they improve less, and improvement becomes less of a goal. It happens. The way to get around that is just to attract new blood into the scene and make sure they feel welcome and that they enjoy themselves. Remember what I said about the tournament with 35 people and 13 setups?
But honestly, guys, being up here really puts things in perspective. Norcal still has a great melee scene full of great melee players and great people in general. Maybe you guys think that the scene has problems, or it's not doing so well lately, but from up here, it looks fine to me.
Lookin forward to seeing and playing you all at Gen2.
It's getting cold so I'ma throw another moose on the fire and stop talking.
