While gingerr said she did not play melee, i DID play melee i was just not very good. At the time of me picking up melee (almost 3 years ago), i had no one to practice with, and could only afford to go to 1 tournament (MLG Orlando). Basically my melee career failed before it even began. Now that a new game has come out, and the playing field has been significantly even'd out (or was even'd out, now there is a significant gap between new players and people winning tourneys), i have the want to go to tourneys again and can afford it. Its not like i've never played melee competitively, i wasnt very good i'll say, but i know about it. I read about all the big tourneys and stuff online (though i wasnt there, not saying i was). I tried to stay in the melee community, hell i even made posts on the forum (in the ATLSouth forum) before brawl came out, but no one even read those lol.
