I knew you would post something like that. McHenry will dominate all if Kelly stops coming.

I totally agree, We lost a lot of points there.
There is another one in McHenry county though, it's just not viable for smashfests due to it being 20 minutes away
Meneks
Yes, I am saying you can't. Cheato doesn't count anymore.

Initially I was But I work fri-mon at restaurant downtown and restaurant week is that week along with valentines day so I don't think I'd be able to call off unfortunately.
Smym on the other hand is a mandatory midwester's pilgrimage So I'm definitely going to try and make that.
Edit: if you end up making a smym $mm thread at some point, put me on there for $5 falco vs shiek, and $3 marth vs. anyone not shiek, we only play in tourney. Lets change that

Chicago To EVO or G3
Hey guys, I really hope you guys are donating to the Evo cancer drive.
if we win, is anyone from Chicagoland interested in going to EVO or Genesis 3 with me? Thing is, I'm out of shape and I haven't played enough. I think i still got it, but i'm not as good as I used to be. I get really bored using Sheik so I've been ****ing around with other chars a lot. Not sure who to main anymore.
I think G3 is worth it cuz the weather and travel is a lot easier than going to East Coast. Plus Norcal is one of the best regions in the world for smash. I'm hyped for Evo, but I'm worried that the actually tourney will be ran horribly. anyway, Chicago let me know!

Melee won! Whooohooo. Congrats fellas.
I'm very interested in going to Evo, but I wanna hear more from Dart, Kels or anyone else who is gonna travel from Chicago. I'll be back in June, so I can head out from Ohare if we're going to fly.
The ONLY thing that would hold me back from going to Evo or G3 is if I have to leave for Korea early. My plane ticket situation to head back to Korea is not settled yet.

Riding a bike is pretty hard
Fletch
Smash Master
Whenever I don't play this game on the regular, I ****ing suck balls at it. I wouldn't exactly liken it to riding a bike; game is too damn hard, especially for us old folk.
Devil Ray
Smash Lord
tink's right yo, melee is like a bike you can never forget how to ride.
no johns, some ppl never get better at the game but you can always have fun. playing with Orly really helped me to see that. your mentality towards the game is half the battle.

i don't think melee skill deteriorates that quickly... it's mostly other people getting better at the game instead of you getting worse.
Meneks
Smash Lord
Its like working out and dieting, you can work out all you want but at the end of the day if you're just going to eat mcdonalds then you're not going to get positive results.
With melee you can play the game as much as you want but if your mentality isn't there you're not going to improve.
I don't think people can never get better at the game, that impossible.
Its a matter of how much you WANT to get better.
I haven't had a set up at home to practice in 3 years, and play like 1-2 times a week and still manage to have Techskill like Silentwolf gave it to me.
Mentality may be half the battle but its definitely the more significant half if that makes any sense lol

people over complicate melee a lot
when you stop swimming in circles you can actually go places

Discussing Smash theory over complicates Melee?
I think discussing mentalities and other things outside of the actual moves in the game can help make a person better.
Unless you mean were just discussing the same things over and over?

Having superb tech skill is pretty overrated.
The overly technical never win. You're better off slowing down your tech a little bit to have better fundamentals and matchup knowledge.
Plus all that mashing ruins your hands
