Well there you go.

Mango would OBVIOUSLY go wario. Jiggs is the troll of melee. Wario is the troll of brawl. And Mango is the troll of smash.

@M2K: Your marth is sexier than your metaknight. True story. If you're gonna quit melee completely at least train some marth to be as good as you. Plzzzzzz.

I haven't really put in much practice to melee since just before pound4 (I crammed it all into under a week from not playing the game for a really long time before that) and I don't really practice the game ever anymore cuz there's not enough tourneys to make it worth it. Previous skill and knowledge is why I remain good. I'm not as good as I used to be I don't think. Maybe when I am fully in practice I can be but not usually. I don't need to practice Brawl to place well. So far, my lowest tourney record in the past 2 and a half years is like 3rd or something I think but for MLG Orlando specifically I trained really hard cuz I wanted it bad. I do play brawl a lot more than melee usually, due to there being many more tourneys for it, especially now with MLG.

I do think Mango could get really good at brawl if he wanted to, it's just that he doesn't want to because all he wants to do is move fast and combo and there's not many characters you can do that with. He could do things with Bair with falco, then if they air dodge again he can cover 2 options at once by moving fast and just normal smart stuff but I think he would get bored of the game rather quickly. I'm just saying he is definitely good enough at smash and smart enough that if he wanted to he would be top 3 quite easily imo.

No, I didn't. I was put at 4th when we all split and didn't play anything out. I only lost 1 set

I went to MD/VA and went to DK smash's house then the NIGHT of the tournament they said it was going to be MK banned SURPRISE SURPRISE when I had not used anyone but MK for many, many months before that point (pretty much half a year of only using strictly MK)

So I beat a few players who's names I forget by a good amount

then I had to fight Meep. My ****ty awful Snake got him to last stock over 100% (I got CGed a lot cuz I didn't know how to use grenades well or hardly anything about the character), and then my DDD won 2 games in a row to win that set (forward throw is apparently good vs ICs as it separates them but it was really campy 2 games). I did not get a chance to fight Azen (he mained Peach and Lucario then), but around that same time period I beat him the majority of the time so it is assumed that I would have had the advantage had I got a chance to fight him. Atomsk at that time I was like 30-0 with in DDD dittos (most of them were friendlies but some were tourney and I had a perfect tourney record vs him then also) and I won every previous set and tourney match we had then so I probably would have beaten him too. The top 4 were Chillin Atomsk Azen and me we all 4 split without anything played out.

So after beating Meep I had to fight chillin, and then ALL HE DID THE ENTIRE GAME was wait around for an opportunity to a chain grab and run away with rolls, rapid As, lasers, and illusions. I found out that it was unavoidable and he beat me 2 stock 170% and then I switched to some other char like GW who I had never used in that matchup before (I played Velocity in about 15 GW dittos that's the only reason I sorta knew how to use him but not really) and I got the first stock lead and was going to plank him. Other people were booing me as I was continuing to plank so, because of that, I Got up from the ledge, traded some hits and got KOd, then lost my lead to a chain grab on the next stock then he ran away so I would have to approach the rest of the game.

chillin then fought Atosmk in WF, and then BEAT HIS DDD WORSE THAN MINE (2 stock 60% opposed to 2 stock 170% and I didn't have gimps), and then Atosmk tried Wario and also got 2 stocked (and I forget the other game, but I think all the games were 2 stock from chain grab spam and then laser camping into rapid A when opponent got close into random illusions).

I was able to beat meep 2-0 with ddd, almost with snake, and only lose 1 set to chillin, doing better than atomsk did, and my previous sets vs azen/atomsk at that time assumes I had the advantage to beat them had I fought them.

Also, in teams me and azen (using peach ddd) were able to 6-0 chillin atomsk (snake/falco and ddd)

what you heard was a really biased story brought up many times for people that don't know all the details

i dont wifi

however many people did get good off of wifi, so maybe I'm just different. I'm used to how I do things because of the melee days + my connection sucks

dont bother with wifi unless you have a cable ISP and have a router that is completely amazing


i would know i paid for both and set up the router myself. Was alot of work, but the lag is nearly non existant

M2k, do what makes you happy I guess. Please however do not quit Melee, focus on Brawl if you need to at the moment though. Just for the love of God don't quit Melee altogether. You're the only one who could ever beat mango again.

M2K hats off to you man for that win, sounds like you'd been going through a rough stretch and I was rooting for you to pull it off, well deserved, congratulations.
On a side note, do you think any melee players would come to brawl? Have you tried convincing any of them? And out of curiosity who would you say are the top 5 toughest smashers you've ever played against? Congrats again man.

Name one, except maybe Hungrybox. At the highest level, Brawl was and still is incredibly gay. Doubtless it won't progress from this, barring some kind of universal AT which deepens the game, and considering how extensively the game's been studied I doubt that.

And to the guy directly above, Mango is genuinely in a league of his own. Armada, good as he is, is not a more difficult opponent.

Ok well since KoreanDJ got good he's been beating Mew2king. And they were not all really close matches. KDJ 3-0d Mew2king in winners finals at MLG Long Island. And iirc he also 3-0d him in one of their sets at Viva la Smashataclysm

The only reason I can see top Melee players playing Brawl is to learn how to play gay so they can beat Jiggs.

Other than that I don't really see a reason. The only characters I find fun to watch are MK (I USED to), Diddy, and Olimar. Not much else though.

I'm sure you could think up some reasons.

Why isn't Korean DJ on this list? Doesn't he still have a winning record against you?
Click to expand...
that was so long ago that I forgot about him

actually we are like 50/50 in sets I don't know who's winning (I even 3-0d him at chicago and 6-0d him at mlg orlando in 06 but since it's not recorded almost no one knows about that stuff). Most of my sets that I won against him weren't recorded. I have no idea who's record is better, but I guess he's be tied in 3rd somewhere with others

viva la smash was 2-1 last stock mid % actually... and I went all sheik back when I was just learning her, and I beat PC just prior. He did beat me back then, but I considered myself better overall, because he lost to Chu more than me and always lost to Azen and I did slightly better against PC too but head to head we'd go back and forth with him winning more maybe? I don't even know who won more honestly we've played like 20 sets or so before at least. Unfortunately he quit right after that tourney.
