it was like 2006 and i started getting back into melee again for some random reason. i started playing casually again that schoolyear with friends and stuff and quickly showed my dominance... then on some forum i frequented there was a discussion on competitive play about ssbm. they were talking about tiers. i said they didn't exist. i said that wavedashing was a glitch. i said all this **** about it, and how i was the best there was.
then i saw the original matches featured in this compilation. and i have to say, those videos changed my life

the day after i saw that i became immediatly launched into the tournament scene. i lost weight i hit puberty and got taller i got a girlfriend i got a job i got a car all because of smash brothers melee and isai's captain falcon and ken's marth. my life was changed for the better. i started training, hard. i got so good i was starting to peak skill wise bcause of my limited local competition and bad geographical location and crappy age. so i stagnated.
i came to college this year and played against competitive players for the first time. i still won. basically all the time. this is when i knew i was good. i attended my first tournament and placed 5th in teams losing to pc chris and plank and got 17th in singles losing to good local players in matchups i had no experience against. but the tournament was big, 60 or so people or more. soi i am very proud of that.
now that brawl came out i am disheartened about what may potentially happen to melee, it might die. which kills me inside. i'm selling my wii and buying a gamecube because nintendo abandoned everything they used to stand for, the gamecube can play melee so thats what i care about. but all thats besides the point.
what i really want to say is that melee has been a really huge part of my life these past few years and ilove the community and i am so grateful for all of you guys. all i have left to do is thank god. thank god that i can finally sleep at night thanks to sleepcountry mattresses, why buy your mattress anywhere else?
