IF I BriNG ThREE sETUPZZZ wiLl I gEt A DoLL4r00 BaCK?

:( I understand man, appreciate the response! Also, I'm super excited for this. If you guys need extra hands, let me know!

Another TO and I that recently started running a PM series in Orlando have offered to run a PM event at StR, so post on the pages etc to let them know!

I agree^ Bowser's main thing is he HAS to control the stage. I feel like he does great vs Fox/Falco/Marth, which are a ton of players, since those are probably the 3 most popular melee players. Conversely, there are many characters he struggles with, but most of them are new, mostly...

Just posting as a Marth main, who plays against Bowser regularly, Bowser is really good. I picked Bowser up for a few hours, and he feels amazing. The problem is that you shouldn't play him like Melee bowser at all. And that his matchups are polarizing. He beats Marth/Roy, goes (at least)...

Reading through this thread has really given me (a new TO) a broader perspective on how controversial a topic money can be in our community. As someone who is really uncomfortable with the whole "making a profit" concept, here's what I think. A TO who uses extra venue fees to reinvest into...

Thanks guys! I actually do not have a capture card, but I was looking into buying an inexpensive one. Whatever would be the easiest without spending a significant amount of money (It's coming from my own personal funds) would be ideal. I could converse with our players and see if a $1 extra...

Hey all, I've recently co-hosted a PM tournament with a friend of mine that was a pretty solid success. Things ran really smoothly considering it was my co-host and I's first tournament. We've off handedly discussed doing it on a more regular basis in CFL, potentially bi-weekly or monthly. On...

Of course, but remember that you really only have a significant one one Fox/Falco, you can chain 2-3 fthrows, but any decent player knows to DI marth down+away, so you aren't gonna get much besides the spacie Uthrow.

It's DI dependent. They still have to DI down and away. It can trick people though if they've been DI'ing for Fthrow then they'll eat tipper from dthrow. It won't work against even mid-level players though unless you use it very sparingly. The only throw to fsmash that I reccommend making a...

I think there is a definite rearrangement necessary of the top tier especially, and high/mid tier could do with a bit of shuffling. I think it'll probably look something like this. Top Tier -characters I believe can win major tournaments; have no flaws glaring enough to REQUIRE a secondary to...

Red Marth, Green Sheik, White/Pink Falcon, Purple(blue) Fox, Red Falco.

Don't approach with Nair ever. Nair's best use is either in a combo, or as a space control. Do a stationary nair, or a nair just outside of your opponents range and hope they jump into it. You should be approaching with movement more than with attacks. Dash dance, WD in/out, etc to find...

Sheik has really advantageous matchups against a ton of characters in Melee, and she basically dictates the entire tier list moreso than any other single character. However, with dedication, both Falcon and Pika can win the matchup. The biggest issue is that Sheik's punishes on both of those...
