Frustrated because I want to play with someone close to me (melee)

Now, this is a rant, of course. Hopefully good does come to me. My problem is that I prefer Melee over Brawl, and that most people prefer vice versa. Usually I'd want to play some melee at school, but more people are having fun with Brawl. Sure, I played a bit, did ok.

Although, I really wish I could play melee alot more, hopefully with a group of friends. Most of my friends that played melee with me (who were good as well) totally just dropped melee for Brawl.

Gah, I just wish I could play someone who lives near me who is enthuastic of melee, and would also want to aspire to be a pro.... >_>

I'm sitting here bored, typing this up. I know there is not much to be done, but hopefully I'll find a friend that would also want to get better in melee. I play doc, I'm pretty good, but not great.... <_> Usually I would be playing people above my skill level, which is fine by me, I get more experience and skill. Although I will admit playing someone closer to your own skill is funner.

Plus I am also frustrated from my own situations, like economic and family situations. As of now I have no Job, live in St. Cloud, Florida (not much smashers there, that play melee anyways), Have no driving liscense (I hate driving but I'd just think of it as a task), and of course my parents disapprove of gaming, for some reason. >_>

Also, I really like teams, but don't really have much partners, also a little frustrated about that. Gah, such is life. Of course, I'll do other things by myself, like practicing (of course).

I really hope over time something works out for me. I want peace of mind, but how can I achieve it?

Meh... Thanks for reading if you did.

Give in to playing brawl? Sure, I'll play brawl, I use Diddy Kong, but still, I'm not very patient, nor have I practiced much Brawl (have no Wii) and then I get discouraged and bored. Then I'm not motivated, and with not being motivated and seeing a big line of people waiting (waiting is not a problem lol I'm just bored) then I just get bored and BLAH. xD

Please, somehow, some divine force of AWESOME give me the light and show me the way to a better.... SMASH. xD

Obviously they prefer brawl! I mean cmon, Who Doesn't like tripping?!
you be trippin'. -_-

Anyways, I'm in the same boat as you, at home, most of my friends are into brawl and think melee sucks only because it came before brawl. Anyways, I play Doc too, I'm decent, still learning, but I can't get better because I don't know anyone above my skill level in my area yet. I'd offer to play, but I assume we're miles apart.

That sucks man. A while back I wanted to play Melee instead of Brawl but realized the same thing you're talking about. So many people play Brawl, and it's hard to find a Melee player who isn't a complete pro but still at your level...well good luck man.

And is it a coincidance that we all play Doc? O.O (although I play Fox a bit more then Doc)

Yeah, I'm a decent Doc too, I think I'm at my peak for now, then went a bit down for not playing for a while, but somehow am doing a bit better... Anyways I hope to play you in some big event, like Fast 2. (hopefully I'll have the money for then) Yeah thanks man.

Yes it is a coincidence xD Doc is the **** yo, Not even Diddy can replace him, but he can come close out of all the other characters, but still. I can't apply all of my practice into Brawl, lol. Of course, I'll try not to be an *** and just deny Brawl, because I don't want people not to like me, of course I was playing a bit, but it still gets boring, lol.

*sigh* I miss the good ol' Doc...
Lol, I still have a gamecube. But its the players that I miss.

Yeah! I love tripping, mang! Then my opponent can get a free hit on me, boy oh boy do I love getting those. Lol

Thanks all of you for replying, glad that there are people who share my feelings toward Smash. :3

Yeah I got the same problem as you sumo. I only had one friend that was more or less in my skill level and now dropped melee and smash altogether cause according to him he's to big to be playing games -.-
