Need ur opinion on playing melee and ult

So I’m very new to smash been playing ult since November and melee seriously since late December early January. It started off as me not being able to get games on slippI as a noob and basic tech being hard for me. It furthed as their being basically no melee tournaments near me. I don’t rlly like online tournaments bc no friendlies so I don’t get to meet people. But basically what I’m feeling now is should I drop one of the games. I love both of them. Melee slightly more because of the story and movement. But I also really love ult. I’m getting to a point where I’m worried about very slow improvement by splitting my time
Betweeen the two. I have roughly 2.5 hrs per day to play more on weekends and I do roughly 1.5hr of melee a mix between tech practice and games of melee online discord And then and hour of ult playing with a training partner. I do feel that playing both at once keeps me from switching to random chara to much And prevents the games from getting stale. But I rlly want to get better. Ik I’m extremely early. And it will take a while to get good. I’m apparently good for how long I’ve been playing for but I get crazy tournament nerves and play very stupidly. Is it fine to split my time or am i extremely limiting myself as a player. Ik this is a very personal question and it will very hard for people to give me a perfect answer but any help is appreciated

Would probably be best to pick one instead of trying to do both. Some people can do both at once, but given your limited time to practice and whatnot paired with how you're new to Smash in general, I don't think it'd work out for you. You could always pick the other back up sometime in the future, after you've gained a solid foundation.

You should stick to one game at a time instead of two. For Melee, try to work on one thing everyday. When you boot up Melee for some practice, have an idea on what you want to work on. I'm the not the most serious Ultimate player in the world so unfortunately I can't give too much advice.

Melee is generally faster. If you life fast gameplay, you should play Melee. If you like slower, clunkier gameplay, pick Ultimate. Also, if you wanna find games, hmu on discord Sephion#5056
