The feeling I get at while looking at this site, feels great and completely depressing for me. I love to read all the amazing tech and tips people have about everything. This comes along with the fact that I missed all this back when I started playing smash. I spent hundreds of hours playing on my own, somehow I knew these games were deep, I just didn't think anyone else saw what I saw. Had I known, I would have given up every other game and sport to play this game.
I've had 21 game consoles and handheld ones. I traveled across Canada to play soccer, a game I wasn't passionate about at all, I just didn't know what else to do with myself. I would have given all that up, just to play smash with people, just to actually have fun with others in a game. I have friends who play other games and we do have great times, just nothing compares to the feeling I get from playing Melee. I have for most of my life, not really shown much emotions, that's just how I am for some reason. That all changes when I play Melee, that when I first started playing people, my first time playing at a tournament at EVO, I was having fun with all the games I got. I went 2-2 at the 2015 one, and that's because 2 people didn't show up, but the 2 games I got where do fun. I played some Falco who I could tell that he was stressed out until we started playing. We had laughs that I didn't get JV4 stocked. Same deal with the next guy who was wearing the Arizona flag like Axe and he played Young Link. He demolished me, but I was still laughing.
Getting to actually play people, in some way was what I needed all my life. After getting knocked out on my last game I spent the rest of the time just waking around the place. Not really talking with anyone or anything, I was just in awe and sad at the same time. I didn't know where to start so I just kept on seeing what's going on with everyone else. I watched other games too, UMVC3, SF4, what ever anime game was going on there, so I wasn't bored.
Nowadays I get to play Melee online on Sundays, which is great, I just wish I could do it everyday for the rest of my life. I love Melee so much, that I feel like I'll be on my death bed, playing it till the end... also Tetris, but Melee is the game I want to explore every bit of and keep on going to find more. I still have that feeling of wanting to find out more to this game, find out how people think in this game. Even if I'm getting so salty about how someone is destroying me, that means to me, I'm still passionate about it. Getting angry and excited are the same, they're feeling strongly about something, a thing I've not had before in my life. Once I start to feel nothing, is when this game would be dead for me.
Huh... I didn't plan for me to go that long...
Well, if you've gotten this far, amazing on your part, thank you for your time.
