I am a brawl player, and why do I care if Melee gets into EVO or not? Well let me ask you something. If you have dedicated yourself to a game for 2 years, some 4, some 10, wouldn't you want other people, players, friends, etc. to help the cause? This is YOUR GAME, it has a chance to be placed into the largest known GAMING TOURNAMENT in EXISTENCE! I myself have donated to the cause.


Whether you play Smash 64, Melee, or Brawl, you shouldn't give a flying F***. Melee is the FATHER of SMASH. It gave birth to what ever hype existed in the prelude to brawl. Melee is the reason all of us are here. Give it the respect it deserves. For Wombo Combo, for APEX, for Genesis, for Armada, for all of the Melee Champions.


I played Melee back when it first released, I was 6 years old. I ended up quitting playing simply because my older brothers did. Only to find out 5 years later that there was much more to Melee. A community, Smash World Forums, a place where you, and I together make the Super Smash Bros. series more than it was intended to be.


Only your decision can influence the future of Melee. Whether you want to take part in it is your choice, but if you have gone far enough to read this, by god donate to the cause.


I have been playing Brawl since it came out, trying to get better, entering for practice, the experience, the fun, and the community. I cannot MAKE you donate, but I am simply telling you, there are other Fighting games that don't compare to that of Melee and they have a chance of winning over you.


This community has changed more than me, help it grow, help it become what it never was.


We have 4 days left to show Skull Girls that they have nothing in comparison to Melee. You know damn well you have money to donate. I am not going to sit here and tell you that if every Melee player donates $1 we will win. YOU KNOW THAT, just F***ING DO IT.


This is YOUR GAME, do it for yourself, do it for the community that has had an influence over you from the get go.

Maybe you should make a thread in the Brawl thread encouraging their support. I think we would really do just about ANYTHING if the Brawl community came together and pitched a good chunk.

I'm not sure if you can make a thread on the Brawl boards about this though. Course worst that can happen is its locked/moved...

Thank you so much for your support and the epic speech 8bitman.

Well I've certainly made myself famous, probably for the wrong reason, but famous. It'll take some time to slowly repair my reputation, but that's okay.
You seem cool to me. A skullgirls fan who posts here could be MUCH worse.

You're respectful, and even took up PM. Some people may find you annoying I guess, but at least you're not rude or hateful.

Good luck to you.

Thanks dude, I try to be respectful to everyone I meet. We all make mistakes, you actually have to do them to learn them. That's how life is.

if u havn't added brandX to ignore list yet then ur a tool lmao
Not sure why you would want to. A lot of people seem to actually like me, even after my...um..episodes. You just need to take the time to know me that is all.

Besides, I've basically become a part of your community after getting to know you guys.

To stay on topic a bit, I've heard that Melee and Brawl have had their massive differences for years, but to see you guys actually coming together and becoming one to help your game, that brings a tear to my eye. I love it.

And I main Snake.

And besides it's the internet. I made my mistake, I moved on, people will forget about me when everything is good and done.
Nah, I admire your dedication to your game and i hope that once all this is gone you will actually go to a melee tourney and see what our community is all about.. even if u suck at the game, you can get better through motivation, and you have already proven to be motivated. If people cant look past ur little episodes in the past, than they arent giving you a fair chance. Keep the hype train moving, as of now you may be an opponent to most of us, but I still think ur pretty cool.

I'm loving the building of unison as well. I think the largest problem has been that a great deal of melee players just don't have any respect for brawl and never played it long enough to get to any high level in it/gave it a chance (while brawl players largely came from melee and understand what goes into both games). But I also know that 99.9% of those hating brawl are all scrubs at melee+brawl and either lack an account here and/or allisbrawl and have probably never been to and never will go to a legit smash tournament in their life. As a result I could care less what they think. I wish more brawl players had my attitude though.

Well at this point, we're not Brawl players or Melee players. We're Smashers, and we want to win because it can do nothing but good for our community in the future.

Personally, I don't really like Brawl, but I don't hate anyone who plays it. To each their own.

Some brawl played I've met have been really cool, and some less cool. The fact that some of them helps Melee even though they get so much hate is awesome!

well actually i am an all out melee player who started at brawl only like a year ago. I started playing the game, and eventually looking up brawl videos brought me to melee videos in related search. I was amazed by all this crazy **** they did in the videos that i never even realized was possible. So i picked up my own copy of melee and kind of juggled between getting good at both games at once. I really enjoy the speed and thrill of melee, that brawl cannot offer to the same degree... so i dropped brawl and went all melee. I respect brawl players, and I myself would be one of them if melee did not exist. I guess i cannot speak for the whole community though. But I think most brawl players assume all melee players are elitist that never gave brawl a chance. Lets just get melee to Evo!!

I find it funny that someone did put me on ignore. I guess even playing their game, I'm still not considered a brother XD
