the tournament scene isn't huge but it's getting bigger. The US has the least developed community in terms of gameplay in comparison to Japan, Peru, and allegedly Chile. There are also players in Europe and Australia, though I'm not sure how active their communities are.Do people even play smash 64 anymore? How big is the tourrnament scene?
no u would literally turn into a zombie and lose all of your hair and you will die an early deathwell you could make a living off Melee if you were one of the top players and attended tournaments weekly (and even more than once a week), but it wouldn't be that much fun (imo) and it wouldn't last that long.
I know you love arguing with me, but the top players have sponsors that take care of a lot of the traveling expenses, plus these guys get a monthly paycheck. Not saying it's much, but plus tournament winnings (not EVERY single tournament) but all of their local tournaments that get 40+ people more than once a week is enough to get by in a lot of the country because tournament prices for locals don't vary much. Melee gets those numbers even in NC and we only really have one good player.no u would literally turn into a zombie and lose all of your hair and you will die an early death
If you won every single tournament there is no way you would make more than 20k a year from just winnings
And what would your expenses look like? I imagine you would need to travel all over, all the time, so you would get ***** on gas and food
by that defination we should all become hookersthe term real job is so silly lol. i'd guarantee the people who play melee for a living bring more joy to people than you do with your "real" job karajan, and isn't that what life is all about ^_^
11,932 and some odd cents is the amount m2k has made at some of the tournaments (about 12-15) posted on herei think we discussed this with respect to m2k, and it came out to like 15-25k a year or something. i still think all other expenses (bills, rent, additional travel, food, unforeseen circumstances, etc) will kill you.
