I'm not arguing about it. I just think y'all should be open minded. I was just joking saying that melee sucks. I've played the game since it came out and played competitively from like 04-07 lol. It's just a bit old for me really, and no1 plays it in naples anymore. Shiz and spdn stopped like in 06 and 07 so those were like the only ppl to play with in naples + they moved. I come in this thread and usually i just hear from ppl that brawl sucks blah and what not.
I'm not sure where you came from with this.
I respect your decision to play Brawl and I totally understand playing it over Melee as Melee IS pretty old (which is why so many good players quit; they felt it was time for a change). I also know that Naples has been a deadzone for Melee recently.
HOWEVER, this is Gainesville's social thread. If you see us saying "brawl sucks blah and what not" it's because all of us who post in here are friends and we like to joke and stuff.
I also hate the phrase "open-minded." People mistake it for meaning "love everything." I am open-minded to other things, I simply have my opinion on Brawl. Personally, I don't play Brawl because I don't feel as though the current metagame favors the attacker enough. BUT THIS IS MY OPINION. I ask Max all the time if he wants to play brawl and he responds "you don't wanna play Brawl w/ me" and gives me that award-winning Masky smile. Until he says "sure, let's play" my opinion on Brawl probably won't change.

Are you even IN Gainesville? I don't remember hearing about you from the locals. I know who you ARE, as I've seen your tourney placing (which are pretty good, congrats).
What I REALLY wanted to know was which region you mean with "rockcrock, linguini, me, phanna." I know Rock is here most of the time, but Phanna hasn't been in Gville for a few years (though he is returning, yay!), Linguini is just starting this coming Fall, and I didn't know about your Gainesville-presence until just now. It was pretty apparent you don't know much about Gainesville's smash scene by this phrase alone.
Regardless, I look forward to playing you in the future. If you're as good as you say you are, Gainesville would benefit greatly from a great Marth, even if it is now and then.
AAAAND: Don't listen to Eikelmann, he has no idea what he's talking about. Gainesville is not to be trifled with. I'm not sure Orlando even has 30 players who PLACE at tournaments
