Melee commnity is better, because they play the better game. Nuff said.

As for the other question, the EC would keep trashtalking us on their atrocious commentary, and we'd have to wait till genesis to shut them up.

They'd mainly be disappointed, and WC would probably just be sad with a few pissed people. then scar would say something about WC DI.

NEW QUESTION ON FIRST PAGE!

My response:

I picked up Peach because I thought she was way easier to play than Shiek. No, I dont think it was a good idea. Playing Peach is hard sometimes.

I started playing shiek sometime last summer but never officially mained her (marth main), until WCSL where i realized she is my best char by far so dropped marth and main her now. Hell yea it was a good idea shiek is too good.

practicing tech skill with fox felt like a concrete way to get better when I was a noob

now I like him because he is a good character and I have a lot invested in him

I picked Jigglypuff because my roommate said my Jiggly was better than my Roy, who I thought was my best character at the time (2003). Also finding the tier list was an influential factor.

I went back to marth because I can't use link in tourney and I was in a phase where I wasn't maining anyone at the time while I was using link for a majority of matches then realized it was really hard to compete with people with link.

BEsides I got training as marth before, it just took some time to get back to where it was.

i try not to have one main. i have used falco and fox the most but i use marth and sheik a lot too. i want to be really good with them all. being they are the best characters and have a lot of depth its fun to use them.

i don't have a main as of now

in a month it should be falco/sheik

but in the end it'll probably be sheik/marth or sheik/spacie

sheik, because when I started I could use the chain and my friends couldn't get past it. she also has the reeeeaaallyy easy to do dash attack slap combos. I didn't know what tilts were at the time though

Doc because way back in 6/7th grade, My friend Nick was "the best" at the game (FFA on Corneria, but even then we knew items were dumb) and he played Doctor Mario, so I picked him up. I later switched to Fox once I learned about Shine spiking, then Jiggs because of her Rest. I picked up Doc again when I started playing competitively.

i played ice climbers because there were two of them so i could use two items at the same time, and their smashes ***** ffas

i switched to sheik because i hadn't improved in 2.5 years so i thought maybe i had just topped out my character... and i had already been using sheik a decent amount because of stupid peaches

it turns out it's just me being stagnant overall, and i don't think the character matters

Fox is the best character in this game.

Peach is my favorite secondary character by far.

i had never played melee before my junior year in high school and a friend brought it once because a whole group of us didnt have a sixth period but had practice right after.

i saw the roster and saw a guy in all blue and a sword. i chose him and liked playing him. my friends hated that i always played as him cause of f-smash. lol. so they thought i sucked. so one of them just told me pick up fox cause he was hard to play. i did and also beat them with fox.

then leepuff appeared and aesis and showed us we all sucked. i was the only one that was in awe and stuck to those two characters i chose from the beginning. later to find out that they were top tiers. i still suck with them. lol.

i mained samus in 64 but when i tried her in melee, she seemed slow compared to the rest
so i went for the next girl character and saw zelda, then i found out i can change into a fast ninja
so i stuck with her

I initially picked up the ICs because I liked how differently they played from the rest of the cast. I stuck with them because I couldn't beat Falco on FD with other characters, and I decided to main them when my Falco controller broke.

I probably shouldn't have dropped Sheik, though.

I played Fox / Link in 64. I was terrible but didn't know it. When I started playing Melee, I basically dropped Link entirely, and since Falco was easier to win with as a noob, I played him. Later, I discovered Sheik and thought she was pretty cool, and all ninja-like. So I started learning to use her. Later, when I discovered some of my friends that knew how to play actually well (for a noob-level, no ATs yet) I only ever used Sheik. Now I also play Puff in tourney. I dont remember if I was inspired at all by any famous puffs when I initially played her, I think that came later.

I used to secondary Marth back when I wasn't competitive because everyone thought that Roy was too good with his fire shenanigans. Started maining Marth after getting better with him. I 'feel' it was a good idea lol. Everyone these days knows how gay Marth is.

I like Drephen more, because he is the only player who places in tourney with all-sheik. But, I've heard some BS things from him before. But I've also heard bs things from m2k. I dunno, it's an odd debate for me.

I guess I dont really know, lol.

I picked peach because i always used her in Mario kart and other nintendo games because its hilarious to kick people's butts with a princess. Back when you are a noob people don't realize Peach is a good character and got embarassed. I really like that her moves came from Mario 2 and Super Mario RPG. Then I saw some Mike G vids vs Azen and got even more excited to get better with her and join the competitive scene

i picked her in brawl because i still had the right mindset plus she is one of the few characters who can combo

I've always used Yoshi/Peach in every Mario/Nintendo game I've played b/c they're both awesome. Yoshi was just so cute and Peach just seemed so sassy (it was just so fun to win with her). In Smash I kept getting ***** with Yoshi so I tried Sheik next as my new main (I spammed dash attack all day). I always assumed Peach was a terrible character so I just never tried her... I don't know why either.

And then one day, I played with a bunch of friends and decided to use Peach(Free for All's were the **** back then). After that, I realized Peach's Dsmash was so amazing. And from there on I just kept playing Peach.

Anyway, as for the latest question. M2K would probably win but I'd be cheering for Drephen lol.

I didn't like the GCN fire emblem, it was kinda boring. I really only went back to marth because I realized it's just a really uphill battle to play the low tiers I was using. It's only so fun playing link until you run into all those fox/falco/shiek players. I'd rather be able to fight them, then people tell me it's ok the matchup is hard. So I picked up marth because when I first started playing seriously I did play marth.

you norcal are an interesting bunch, I just remember them talking about you in the WCSL vid :
"Alan's straight voice comes out" or at least I think that was your name.
