Well it'd be nice if you'd mention the plethora of other Melee tournaments that were simply horrendous that you went to that made you want to quit.
But no, you cited a singular tournament, and didn't mention anything else. Sorry I cannot know the entirety of your Melee tournament experience through osmosis. Shame on me for taking you at your word
As for your knowledge on Smash and other fighters, my example was a generic one, not aimed at you.
But i'll gander a guess and say the only fighting game you've really played in tournaments for is brawl.
It isn't a matter of opinion, its a matter of you making obviously uninformed decisions based off of one of the outliers of smash tournaments.
I could care less if you like Brawl or Melee, but don't say it's because of some random *** bad tournament, because so far that's the only reason you've given.
One day I went to a Brawl tournament. The next day, I got the Flu.
F*** BRAWL!!!!!!11!!1
