Very good idea. The funny thing about that is... she already has one.... but hates using it. It would totally solve my problem, though, so hopefully I can get her to make the switch. Although, I could just do it anyway and use it when I can. Either way, I wanna thank you both for giving me feedback. I'm still amazed by the dedication our community has to keeping this game thriving. I've been playing melee since it came out, only to find, just 2 years ago, that it happens to be the most dynamic 2D fighter in the universe. My friend, Zach, was looking through my old video games, found melee, and almost had a stroke. "You know this is, like, the best game ever, right?" he told me. At the time, he was going to tourneys for sm4sh and had a rudimentary understanding of advanced tech in melee. Needless to say, he could 4-stock me endlessly. Now, I had another friend, Chad, who lived with Lucky Wind for about six months. Lucky Wind is 4th on the NC sm4sh PR, was one of the greatest PM players in NC, and was on the melee PR for north and south Carolina for several years. I had no idea Chad lived with this guy and played friendlies with him every day for half a year straight... Chad was a different beast than Zach at the time, and not only could 4-stock me endlessly, he could do it while talking and he made it look effortless. Fast forward to a few months ago, and I start playing with Felipe, who played thousands of friendlies with PPMD... And, once again, I'm getting 4-stocked effortlessly, only this time, I 'thought' I knew what I was doing. I had to improve. There was no choice. I've been told that I seem like I've been playing competitively for 5 years, yet, I haven't been to a single tournament to this day. I now have an edge over both my friends, Chad and Zach, and am constantly improving. Although I owe a lot to these guys, I also owe so much to people like you guys. You represent, to me, the willingness of the community to help people you don't know. You both had no incentive to help me, but you did anyway, which is a constant I'm finding within the melee universe. I hope you both keep grinding, and I hope my story inspires you in some fashion.
