in the early days

[BrawlLover]

loool yeah! i do that too!

 

[mzink*]

I rolled back and forth over and over in yoshi's egg, I was highly annoying, but I always won somehow.

 

[BrawlLover]

because it's so tough to hit him when he's rolling!

 

[BlackPanther]

In my early days: I still played Fox, lots of rolling and upsmashing. I was still pretty good on a nub level. Nothin special though I played just to play the game. I was a HUGE trash talker though but I could do that though because I was best in the area lol.

 

[Ulti]

I remember when one of my friends and I would debate who the best character in the game was...

My friend: Link is the best, his up-b is broken.
Me: Marth is better, his counter is too good.

Falcon and Ganondorf had the devestating forward b to up-b combo! Ganondorf also had the best move in the game thanks to up-smash.

F-smash was every character's best and strongest move, the exceptions being Fox and Ganon.

Peach's f-throw confused me since it is weak at first and then gets very high knock-back at higher percents. I assumed it would always be weak.

Also, since three of us would usually play melee we would do teams a lot so one of us would get teamed with a cpu. Level 7 was the highest we would allow because we thought level 8s 9s were too hard.

I won a lot by rolling behind people and f-smashing them with Marth.

 

[IWontGetOverTheDam]

Remember when Roy was better than Marth? Good times...

 

[BrawlLover]

roy is tolly still is

 

[Geist]

Does anyone here remember the cheap infinite combo that ness had by spamming pk fire over and over?
<3

 

[BrawlLover]

OLMGG! YEAH DOOD! it's sooo beast!

 

[R00R]

Jump in the air and Down B with kirby... ALL ****ING DAY!!

I thought it was too good.

Oh yeah and Roy was better then marth because he had fire on his sword.

 

[BrawlLover]

all the jumps plus up b at the end is major **** with kirby

 

[Aznpkilla]

I never liked items, lol.

But I used to:
Roy > Marth for a while, until about four or five years ago.
Link was my main
Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch was GODLY
I couldn't spike with Falco. =(
Spammed Dash attack with Young Link
Used to never shine (O_O)
Rollspam (Oh god, once my friend and I spent 45 seconds rolling in the same direction because we had the same "playstyle")
Ice Climbers were terrible. (I love my iceys).

Thinking back on it, man I really would have punched old me in the face.

 

[BrawlLover]

items were a must in the beginning! i meancmon!

 

[Anonymous.]

The only way Brawl could be played with any sort of fun is with all stages, and all items.

And yes, I'm a tourney*** saying this.

 

[BrawlLover]

looool why would you call yourself a tourneyf4g

 

[CandyAppleBlueCherry]

i used to main peach because everyone complained that mewtwo and roy were broken and so i couldn't play as them ):

 

[BrawlLover]

yeah same here bro!

 

[LumpyCPU...]

i used to main peach because everyone complained that mewtwo and roy were broken and so i couldn't play as them ):

[BrawlLover]

Happy Birthday, to ME.

 

[Heavy_Bass]

Spamming Up B with Link =D

Spam up b and down air all DAI

 

[Da Shuffla]

Lol. Roy was truly the best player on the noob tier list.

 

[Chaos Swordsman]

I practiced mewtwo's spike.

 

[HT F8]

Another memory;

I used to detest this game... mostly cause I sucked. >_>
None of my friends knew ATs yet, except for my one friend but he hadn't got SHFFL'ing down yet.
Sooo since they always were dying to play it, I'd either pick Pikachu, Pichu, GaW, and a bit more recently, Kirby. lmfao.
4 player FFAs.

Pikachu: Spam Neutral B and Down B, nothing else.

Pichu: Let everyone else fight while I charged up Skull Bash (Forward B) and kill anyone over 40-50% instantly.

GaW: Spam Neutral B, which still looks more like Bacon than Sausages to me. I would just yell "BACONNNNNNN!" and everyone else would get pissed at me for making them laugh and mess up.

Kirby: Kirbycide camping. Of couse no one was smart enough to realize you could just hit me ontop of the head. >_> So I'd 4stock them all the time. Once, I remember, my friend's Fox sat there shooting lasers at me while I camped with Neutral B... he got me to about 350%, went for the Nair kill, and got sucked in and Kirbycided. I recovered. ^_^

 

[The Fail Tracer]

In my first year of playing Melee, I would play as only the secret characters because I liked them the most and I worked to get them. I liked to play with alternate music always, except for on Big Blue and Icicle Mountain. I loved to play on Big Blue, Hyrule Temple, Final Destination, Battlefield, Pokemon Stadium, Poke Floats, Icicle Mountain, and Flat Zone. I did Adventure and All-Star mode a lot, and I liked to look at my trophies and see what the different character's attacks were named.

 

[BrawlLover]

I practiced mewtwo's spike.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

Happy Birthday, to ME.

happy birthday... right on time...

 

[Zone]

use to main samus and just crouch cancel everything. and did missile cancels --> Run up and grab when they shield my missile. use to think it was unstoppable.

 

[Oracle]

I want to see vids of M2K's mewtwo.

 

[AceDudeyeah]

Last sentence is the best.

I picked link just because he looked the best. My style was literally nothing but rolls, up-b on the ground, and c-stick on the ground. maybe snipe with bombs and boomerangs.
Then I surprised my neighbor who was all I played against when I showed her what I learned. I would always grab her, throw her up, and keep juggling her with up-airs. I thought I was the ****.

Then get this. I thought I was soo smart and thought nobody else had figured out you could use link's up-b to get back to the edge since I was like "Hoooly crap! Look! It makes you go up a lot!"

 

[acecroc]

the only one i remember is spamming Falcon kick & punch.

 

[Clone Z]

I used to get pissed when I lost to lvl 9 comps on Hyrule Temple.

 

[noodles]

infinite drillshined marths

 

[Forcystus]

My best memory of early Melee was when people thought Roy was better than Marth .

I also remember trying to main Game and Watch because I could wavedash with him. And how all my causal friends thought the Ice Climbers were the worst character in the game.

Ah yes, I picked Roy in the beginning because of his Phl4m3 sword, I thought he was way better than marth .

 

[iMichael]

I also remember when my friends at school thought they were cooler than me because they both mained Marth and Roy and I mained Mewtwo.....

 

[brendol]

marth is better than roy? =\

 

[YoshiEGGnoGG]

but slam with yoshi all the time XD

 

[Adi]

Used to be the only one of my friends who knew how to shield grab.. I used to spam that **** with Marth and I thought I was beast.

 

[Da Shuffla]

Lol, me and my bro played some "early days" people yesterday. One of the guys said "Stop picking on me" when I went after him in teams.

But, still, we all swore the spacies were identical. "Fox is only a little faster." Good times.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

Used to be the only one of my friends who knew how to shield grab.. I used to spam that **** with Marth and I thought I was beast.

hahah shield grabbing was SOO cheap.
when i my friend would start losing, he would just play ridiculously defensive and shield grab me all day. (of course we didn't know how to obliterate people from grabs yet)

 

[Nintendude]

I used to go the cave in Hyrule Temple with Link and up-throw people into the ceiling, who then bounced off back down and then I'd spin attack. I was so proud of that combo LOL
