Smash Champion
So I just thought of something that I know can really help bring in fresh new melee'rs..
the answer is youtube! Every day, people post new melee videos. not people within our scene..complete randoms. just go on youtube, type in 'Super Smash Bros. Melee' and sort it by 'Upload Date'.
most of the time they just do the minigames or the story or play with items on, probably because they don't know better.
so i figure THESE are the best people to try and bring into our scene, people that are playing melee UN-COMPETITIVELY after 10 years..who knows how long they've been playing, but if they're choosing to play their gamecube, that should mean something.
so the concept is simple, just tell'em their video is cool or whatever, and let them know about smashboards. maybe even let them know about a cool match so they can see the potential/excitement of the game.
Someone on REDDIT posted a .gif of a kid spinning around the character select screen, i posted saying melee is still awesome and growing, and linked dashiz vs m2k..my post got alot of attention, and random *** kids that don't even know melee got excited.
"oh man on that last life i literally hopped out of my chair watching that"
other people were interested to know that there was an actual tournament scene..
People are just unaware. make them aware!
TLDR: SEARCH BRAND NEW YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND COMMENT ON THEM TELLING THEM ABOUT THE SMASH SCENE
