This is an open letter to a Mr. Taj from Arizona.
Dear Mr. Taj from Arizona
It has come to my attention that I may have expressed views that ran contrary to your own about the matchup of Mewtwo v Link in Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube Entertainment System. Having lacked the necessary experience against proper Mewtwo players, I assumed Link walked all over Mewtwo as if the large cat were a sidewalk.
Yet this is not the case, as was aptly demonstrated in our play. Mewtwo does indeed possess the tricksies required to make Link's slow spacing tools borderline obsolete. His combos are also much more effective than I expected. You're also Taj, whereas I am not, but I'll let that one slide.
Perhaps if I had more proper experience with the Mewtwo matchup I would not have fared so poorly, but Mewtwo nevertheless had clear answers to most of what I had thought were Link's trump cards. Also, no johns. Even the grab wasn't as effective as I believed it would be.
In conclusion, I am officially changing my opinion of the Mewtwo v Link matchup to either even or slightly in Link's favor (I could have very well been doing something wrong, and you live next to mo-foing Trevyn). I also stated my official apology, as was agreed upon by both parties in the now-famous Taj vs Skler Winter Fiesta set of 2010.
Forever yours,
Skler
P.S. **** that dtilt. It's faster than my jab.
A shorter open letter to Axe.
Dear Axe,
I can't believe you hit me with the skull bash.
Kind of embarrassed,
Skler
P.S. Seriously. The skull bash. What the hell? Pikachu players don't even acknowledge that move's existence.
