Hi. Played smash64 and melee casually when both came out. Around '05 I think it was (holy **** time flies ...) a good friend from high school (he was/is into fighting games) got me into playing a little more seriously. I played almost every day with him and another friend (somehow I still sucked horribly). Played pretty often with Teddy and Otto (bladewise and silentwolf according to the magical internet) and went to Skypal (another friend from high school, Derelink, lived with the Skypal guys) once a week or so.
I played smash for the first time in years at a barbecue recently, and remembered just how damn fun it is. I went home and watched pretty much every singles bracket video from apex 2012 (loved smash vids when I was playing, ever since the first tournament I watched, FC3), then noticed the melee-fc10 stream on twtich (where I watch dota2/LoL), and watched that whole tournament too. Javi was jaw-dropping from Apex; there are so many amazing players nowadays; Axe's pikachu is beast; it was awesome to see Darkrain with his one-of-a-kind style still playing (ever since his combo on Isai during fc3 crews man ...), Mango is amazing to watch (how many characters does this guy play at such a high level? geez).
Seeing the finals of apex2012 was a bit depressing though, lol. When I played jiggs, she was mid-tier and no one played her, so when I failed miserably with cheesy bair spam, I didn't feel bad at all. Seeing hbox (green headband represent!) and mango (who apparently retired her to style on people? guy is awesome haha) dominate made how much I suck even worse. I always thought it'd be awesome to see a high profile jiggs player, but all the hate for how boring jiggs matches are, and how lame the character is in general, is sad.
I'm not sure I've ever posted here before, so I just wanted to chime in and say it's awesome that melee is still so active, and the community behind it seems awesome.
