    Looking for Ukiah players

    I just moved into Ukiah California, and maybe I didn't search hard enough but I couldn't find players around hear. I was wondering if either you know of, or can help me find other players around my area. :)

    New player

    Tell him to go in with no expectations, and to take it more as a learning experience rather then a competition. As for the tournament, find a Melee Facebook group in your area, that should help to find a event.

    Help Or Advice With Hosting A Local Tournament

    Hello :), a while back I hosted a 50 person tournament. But now I want to do another one. So I got a venue, a pretty standard one, it's a nice looking place where I live, in the main down town area. It can comfortably hold 100 people, and that's what I am trying to go for. Going from 50 to 100...

    Questions about close to lagless monitor setups

    Hey, so I have a normal CRT setup, but was interested in having a more portable setup that was close to lag free as possible. For now I have a Asus V228h monitor (obviously the BenQ is better), and I use the Wii2HDMI as a converter. But I hear a lot of talk saying that the Wii2HDMI as well as...

    Looking for a new main/maybe co main help.

    Alright, so besides you sounding extremely pretentious, I think it's pointless to ask for a character main suggestion, because everyone is filled with bias opinions, and in the end of the day this is about you choosing, not us. But if you still really want others opinion, don't judge a...

    Hand Care

    This is just me personally, I like to put a lot of my stress on my arm, rather then my wrist when I play. So when I do Shine out of Shield, or Dashing shines, or things that require fast hand movements, I use my arm, rather then my wrist to preform the actions. So how that looks is instead of...

    Help Finding a Main

    Okay :), well in that case you should try Fox as one of your transition. I am not saying that because of "20XX" lol, but rather the tech skill involved with him. Go at your passe, but try and get better with Fox's tech, and try to play him fast. Trust me, all of the sudden every other character...

    Help Finding a Main

    This is a super late response xD, sorry about that. But if you feel happy with Falcon, then by all means go for it :). But I would suggest not to play 2 characters at once, since you are still learning. The best way is to stick with one character, and after a good amount a time has passed, then...

    Help Finding a Main

    Again, this is my opinion, but unless you want to play PM competitive, I would recommend not playing to much (even better not at all). One of the biggest things about competitive Melee is understanding the range, and hitstun each characters give on eachother; this should be known not only frame...

    Help Finding a Main

    Wow, sounds like somebody has a personal issues with Marth lol. Alright, so the fact that Marth has a better grab is exactly what helps new players with grabbing. Since his grab can extend pretty well, it makes it easier for the player to land the grab, which in turn helps players understand...

    Help Finding a Main

    It seems that you have picked your main by now, but try and put what I have to say into consideration. Since you are new to competitive smash, I highly recommend to not play Captain Falcon as your starter, at least for now. Reason being is that Falcon will damage your gameplay, and will hinder...

    What is a good way of being less open to attack as fox?

    Well, when I play Fox in tournament I have an aggressive play style, and what I personally do when I am trying to "feel my opponent," is Dash Dance, depending on how they react I do different things (these are obviously an over simplification, and I do much more, but they are still important to...

    Need ideas

    Look, this is the reality. All controllers that are used by Melee players have and will be replaced multiple times (unless tech skill isn't a concern of yours, then you can keep the controller). Controllers wear out, and it becomes more difficult to preform certain actions (that's why I already...

    Fat fingers messing up my tech skill

    Hey, I am sorry but what your saying makes no sense lol. There is no "best" way, it's all opionated, some people work better with different methods. So claiming that one way is the best would be wrong, and even then what you said wouldn't apply any way. You can achieve the same thing with the Y...

    Jump Cancel Shines or DC

    Yes, that's what I meant :). Thanks for trying to clarify.
