Yesterday is what I consider my first true time playing Super Smash Bros. Melee. My friend didn't have an SD card in his Wii, though, so I guess you could say it was always a new experience. Jigglypuff was the only character we really wanted to take time out of VS in order to unlock. I'm glad we did, too.
Now, onto the controller. The controller was a bit awkward to me still, and the gameplay was unusually different compared to Brawl. I did occasionally press the wrong button when looking for B, but don't worry; it only cost me a stock.

I did enjoy playing it, though.
Now, I'm getting to the good part. while we were playing, I tried some advanced techniques. First, I tried wavedashing. It was incredibly difficult for me to do. I guess it's because I wasn't able to short hop correctly. I was, however able to waveland (I think). I can't dashdance, can't wobble, can't do the space animal slayer on smaller characters, and I can't think of what other things I can't do.
I guess I'll put it this way. It's one thing to think you can do these things after years of playing and practice, and it's another to think you can do it on your first time ever playing the game.
