This topic has been posted countless times, but here's some input anyway. I don't get to travel often but every time I do, I always manage to beat top players, and not just one or two matches but many. Link has what it takes, it just requires a tremendous amount of dedication, study, and...

For several years now I've considered extensively documenting everything I know about Link. Haven't really decided, but one thing I can say for sure: Link requires so much more technical knowledge and understanding than other characters that a common guide isn't even close to enough. Perhaps...

Hello all. Not really sure what purpose this will serve but I felt the need to say something. With Melee having been at EVO this year, as well as all the other great tournaments still happening, I always get the occasional reminder that the community is still kicking. It gives me the urge to...

Most fun I've had in years. Big thanks to my friends for helping me make this. It's been such a long time since I was able to travel to an event, I'm glad some of you guys still remember me (Armada, Hax, etc.). :) Had lots of fun playing dudes like Vectorman, Wobbles, and Taj for the...

We will see about this. ;)

How exclusive is this show? If you'll have me, I have plenty to say about competition, my region, and overall a wide variety of Melee subjects. More specifically there's also a ton of light I can shed on Link, which is a character that I think very few people understand and there's lots of...

Pound too amazing. In my opinion it only had one major drawback: 3 days is not enough! There were a bunch of people I wanted to play and either I didn't have time or they didn't. But for those I did play, much respect. There are too many people so I won't give individual shoutouts and have...

Should've PMed me, I'm a lot more likely to notice those than browsing the forums, which I don't often do. ;) Anyway, PM sent. Not duality, but rather we lean more towards one side than the other. Think of it as a metronome. We move around in our general comfort zone, and sometimes exhibit...

The way I see it, the more recording setups available, the better it is for everyone who wants a piece of the action. I don't know the details of these recording discrepancies, but whatever's been going down y'all need to put your differences aside and work together for the benefit of the...

I'm glad there's so much positive feedback. I was sure there'd be people here that would benefit from this, and I know there are more of y'all out there even if you're not posting! Lots of people say this, and I think there is some slight confusion as to what it really is. Someone who is...

Sounds to me like you misunderstood my post for something more cut-and-dry. Everyone has introverted and extroverted qualities, and the amounts vary. Even though these are only two "labels" (unless you count ambivert) you'd find that many people of similar personality types can still be very...

It's good to watch videos sometimes. What y'all need to keep in mind, though, is that videos work both ways. You can learn good things from them, but at the same time you can learn wrong things, even when watching videos of top players. Everyone makes mistakes, whether through executional...

We've all experienced that at some point. Older adults telling us we have to socialize more, be more assertive, stop "hiding" in our rooms, etc. After all, these people outnumber us and they have set standards and expectations that go according to the personalities of the majority. But as...

I'm going to presume that you were kind of joking there in saying that we're not normal. ;) If anyone seriously believes that, don't. Competing in a video game might be abnormal, since it isn't what most people usually do, but it doesn't make you as a person abnormal! I had also thought of...

After thinking about it for a while I felt compelled to type this up. There are people who encounter struggles in life that they don’t fully understand, or perhaps people who know friends/family they just don’t get. I’d like to focus on how this affects the competitive scenes and personal...
