Another generation?

[Bing]

I just picked up the game seriously about 6 months ago, its awesome, I can travel about an hour and play KirbyKaze, Raynex, Unknown522, I.B(though the last tourney I went to he was in my pool but he no showed)

I love how friendly everyone is and there willingness to help younger smashers like myself(18 so technically young compared to most)

 

[mizujin]

I'm 14... been playing for a few months, got most of the techskill stuff down. I just have no one to play with and no way to get to tournaments, so I can't really get better.

PinkShinobi, where u at?

 

[Ghostbone]

I'm 15, just started playing smash competitively last year...

I guess Brawl got me into Melee, lol.

 

[Decae]

I'm 15 and I've been playing the game since I was 6 years old. It's not that old a game yall. And with the business that brawl got, they will make another eventually. Plus, having mostly 20 year-olds playing it means that it's young. Just 'cause you lost your teen years doesn't mean you're ancient.

 

[Rostigalen]

Wouldn't say that there's a bunch of 12-14 year olds picking up Melee in Sweden atm, at least not on the East Coast. What we do have is a few 13-14 year old kids, and a huge load of 17-19 year old folks playing, including some that just recently joined our community. Sweden's looking pretty good.

 

[CaptainRanD0]

lol hax is only like 16 same with jman ._.

 

[ETWIST51294]

Jman's not 16. LOL

 

[hungrybox]

Lmao people.

I'm 17 years old.

Hax is 16, I'm pretty sure.

Jman is 18/19.

Armada is 18.

I'm pretty sure Hax is by far the youngest Pro, followed by Colbol, followed by me.

 

[Archangel]

At Pound 5 and 8 year old entered singles.

/thread.

 

[ETWIST51294]

Hax is 16, I'm pretty sure.

Someone told me Hax is like a week older than me so he's 16. And then they proceeded to make fun of how he's everythingIi wanted to be... :sadface:

 

[Lovage]

did anyone here go to pound 5?
did you see the ENERGY for this old *** game?

melee will never die

melee will never die

A community that will get together and Sing Pokemon as 1 voice melee and brawl.....that community is in no way slowing down.

It would take something serious to kill off the smash community. Perhaps a super collapse in the economy making it near impossible to travel or...some other natural/man made disaster of a large scale to put an end to melee's continued revival.

 

[yummynbeefy]

melee will die one day in the distant future when dinosaurs roam the earth again

 

[LLDL]

Dinosaurs will then play melee, because of their evolved minds.

 

[Rostigalen]

Armada is 18.

KNOW YOUR OPPONENT

Armada is still only 17.

My little brother has been playing this game casually for months just destroying level 1 computers in free for alls and single player mode. I recently challenged him to be able to beat a level 9 computer and said if he did i'd teach him all the tricks in the game. THE NEXT DAY he was able to beat them. So yesterday i started teaching him stuff he can already use falcon's dj, d+b, dj up+b recovery and dash dance. Oh and he's 6. He mains falcon. Oh and for fun i had him use luigi to try and learn wavedashing and out of 10 tries he got it twice.

 

[_Rocky_]

3 of the top 5 players at pound are minors.

[Stratford]

An armada of Armada

I approve.

It's stories like these that make me convinced that Melee will never die.

People join for the competition, but they stay for the camaraderie. The community makes this game so much greater.

 

[Deleted member]

i started melee competitively at 18 and i'll probably play for at least the next 3-4 years, don't see myself getting bored with the game and getting stupidly drunk for no reason

gotta fk up the little kids

 

[bolt.]

I know a lot of young smashers are starting up in ct. Just from my high school there are 4 smashers that went to pound, and 4 more that have been to tournaments. This game should be around for a while.

 

[thehotelambush]

This game will die soon

but it will be resurected when earths technology can create lagless online melee.

Hmm, does anybody know about progress on that front? What kind of technology do we need?

 

[hectohertz]

basically, dolphin has netplay support, it needs to be improved, we don't need new technology, we need skilled programmers

 

[L__]

connor quit? dang.

I know PewPewU is 16
and SFAT is 15.

+1

as in +1 year

 

[WhiteOblv]

The amount of energy at pound 5 was just insane........

and genesis 2 is just going to be even bigger than pound 5 was.....

this game was meant to last forever

 

[Professor Pro]

The fusion of the abroad communities has also assisted in nothing but the growth of the community, before everyone was a lot more secluded and to themselves without America really knowing about Europe (even though we knew about them.....sad unknown times) but with all this unity and healthy competition now we just need to set up Earth vs The Aliens in smash.

 

[Aceplayer]

I'm new as of this year, almost 20 though lol

 

[edgeluca]

PewpewU is quite young.

 

[choknater]

new gen of norcal: shroomed, sfat, ppu, L, bizzarro flame, mooninite leader

kinda

 

[L__]

you forgot project styles

 

[ChivalRuse]

did anyone here go to pound 5?
did you see the ENERGY for this old *** game?

melee will never die

I love you.

 

[Jonas]

This game is barely 10 years old. The competitive community is even younger. I don't see why it should stop anytime soon.

Aliens got no game.

 

[TheManaLord]

mvc 2 stayed strong. it just takes the community to make it happen. as we get older if we still keep playing maybe we'll see some big *** mm's like mvc and high stakes tournies.

all until they finally do a melee 2

 

[Jonas]

Aliens got no game.

I wonder if alien civilizations also play fighting games.

 

[Dan -Zodiac-]

I hate melee, I seriously can't play any other game seriously while knowing how simple it is in comparison. I GIVE UP *starts practicing*

melee4ever.

 

[SnowMan]

The motivation to be one of the best is very much still alive (like JesiahTEG) and with that comes new top smashers who eventually replace the old veterans.

That's my buddy.
