Is 20XX mod a must when practicing?

[MegaJoseph32123]

In my current situation, I have a physical copy of melee with a gamecube and there is no way for me to get melee 20XX mod any time soon. I see a most people playing with the mod and it's making me feel that it's not right to practice without it. But is it okay not to have it or is it a must have?

As for my status as a player:
I am a beginner wanting to get into the competitive scene and havent played in any tournaments.

Thanks in advance.

Depends, do you want to learn waveshining and other excessively complicated techniques? If so, then yes you will want to use 20XXHP.

But if not, either vMelee or 20XX Tournament Edition will work.

Well I can do most of the simple techniques like wavedashing, wavelanding, teching, and L-canceling. Stuff that I havn't gotten down yet is stuff like sheild drops, power-sheilding and reliable edge-gaurding. My guess as to the best thing I can do now to practice is to actually play against people.

Then no you don't need 20XXHP, i do recommend using 20XXTE because that's what you will see in most tournaments.

I practice with 20XXTE myself and honestly i don't even make use of the stuff like infinite shield health.

What is the diffrence in HP and TE?

The major difference is that 20XX Hack Pack is meant for training and requires a hacked Wii, while 20XX Tournament Edition only requires a memory card with special save data and is geared for tournaments, including great features like frozen stages, replays, and some more.

Installing 20XXTE won't permanently modify your game (Just use a different Memory card for playing vMelee)

You can buy a 20XXTE memory card at 20XX.me or if you have a friend with a modded Wii you can get it for free, here are some instructions:
Click here for instructions on how to install it into your memory card
Click here for instructions on how to boot it up after installing
NOTE: 20XXTE requires Melee version 1.02 NTSC

If you can't run 20XXTE because you don't have Melee 1.02, then i have a fun mod for you: SD Remix Lite
It's installed the exact same way as 20XXTE but it's compatible with any version of Melee (you need to choose the version corresponding to the region you live in, though) Click here for more info about this mod and it even includes custom stages!

Those aren't the only Memory Card mods though, if you are interested you can look for more in these forums.

As soon as you get the chance, buy a Wii and install the homebrew channel on it, that way you will be able to get access to the best mods around for Melee.

No problem, if you need anything else, just ask.

Don't they sell GC memory cards with 20xxTE installed already? I think they're like $20 or less.

Says its currently unavailable but maybe you could find another.

I already told him this, and since they are out of stock it's a better idea to install it on his own.

And in the first post he was actually talking about 20XX Training Hack Pack, not TE.

Sorry. Didn't see this earlier, TDRR. Just tryna help!

I do know he was talking about HP, not TE, again, just trying to offer a suggestion to help out!

Don't worry, people keep telling me all i say comes off as aggressive but that isn't the intention
