Hello everyone! My name is Gary aka. Hanglamp (or Gloeilamp, LEDlamp, etc. All kinds of lamps really.) and I live in the Netherlands.
I picked up Melee 2 months back after watching endless competitive Melee over the past year. I remembered the time as a kid I'd get frustrated that I couldn't (didn't know how to) grab the ledge to edge guard my brothers. Seeing the pro's do it so effortlessly and consistent lit a fire in my heart. I bought all the gear I needed. Even activated my Facebook again to ask old friends if they still had a CRT they didn't use anymore and have been playing at least 2 hours every day since then.
As for picking my main, it was easy really. The games that stuck to me the most were S2J's games and especially the hype over Johnny stocks got me going. Captain Falcon has everything a melee player wants. A knee. That's all you need really. Just the knee. What else can I say? Knee. Also, his up air is pretty cool, but it's not knee tier cool though.
In September I hope to attend my first tournament. The Syndicate 2016 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. I hope to attend way more tourneys in the future and am also looking for places/players to practice at/with. Unfortunately some personal issues are holding me back but as soon as that's dealt with i'll be going all in on getting better at the game.
Outside of Melee I like to be active and stay fit. Running, lifting, jumping jacks, the worm, etc. All that cool stuff. It is also needed for my other hobby which is eating. I ****ing love eating. I try a new restaurant every week and cook for friends once a week. The rest of the free time is just filled with friend stuff.
If you guys/gals have any more questions feel free to ask. Really anything is permitted. Hope it was a easy read and I hope to talk to you soon!
