Should I play Melee?

[Jink8]

So I have Melee on Gamecube and stuff and I'm pretty good, I usually play Smash 4 but I'm moving to melee because I was in that scene first and I wanna play it again. Issue is I don't have any access to netplay. Is it worth playing this game competitively with the only human interaction being my brother and going to locals until I get a PC?

You are asking in a Melee board. Everyone is going to tell you to play Melee. Unless you're also asking other groups too, you're going to have a biased sample

Going to locals and playing with your brother doesn't sound like a problem. It sounds like you'll be getting enough regular experience to keep up with other players' improvements. Melee's a fun game

My only issue now is to Find people to play with. I should make a friend at a locals.

Having a brother and locals is more than a lot of people can say. Having one or more competitive players to play against consistently is extremely valuable, and each of those fulfill that criterion (assuming your brother plays competitively, but even if not it's still pretty good). Going to locals will also allow you to meet more people, who you'd possibly be able to play outside of tournaments.

When you're starting off, the most important place to direct effort to and the place where the majority of your improvement will come from is learning techskill (on your own), so lacking people to play is less of an issue then.
