The future of Melee (who's going to take over?)

[trahhSTEEZY]

stop feeding guys isn't it blatantly obvious it's mikehaggers defect clone!?

 

[ranmaru]

Because then we'll be no better than the barlw players and their beloved MK...
except we would actually have to practice...

So then we all should become Captain Falcons instead? And be flashy? ;p And so if you .... go as 'low' as brawl players as you say, what WOULD you be doing wrong? Breaking some honor code? I mean if I have to change up to beat jiggs, I think THAT would be a strategy.

Although thinking about who is up and coming isn't bad. It's nice to look at the future.

 

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

guys, i heard that mango played armada in a best of 5 MM after the friendlies they played on the livestream. is this true?

 

[ranmaru]

I don't know. : [ Where was I...

 

[Kanelol]

Mango won

10char

 

[Merkuri]

Top 5 Smashers are:

1) Mango
2) Hungrybox
3) Armada
4/5) Mew2King/Amsah

Hopefully at another international tournament, we can see how Amsah does against Mew2King and Mango.

Why do you place Amsah below Armada in NSTC?

 

[Druggedfox]

Because Armada is better. I don't want to put words in Amsah's mouth, but iirc Amsah stated that Armada was off at pound4, and that he felt that armada on a good day would have done much better.

@Amsah, you vs PP I think is my most looked forward to set. You coming to Pound 5??

Also, highly interested in that hbox vs Mango MM I heard they also had a double or nothing afterwards? Does anyone know the exact results?

Edited according to amsah's words himself :D

 

[L__]

what do I hear?

johns?

that's right

 

[Nihonjin]

Because Armada is better. I don't want to put words in Amsah's mouth, but iirc Amsah stated that Armada was off at pound4, and that he felt that armada on a good day still would have won done much better

Spoiler

but still get his *** kicked.

Spoiler

I'm not biased

:embarrass

Fixed..

@Amsah, you vs PP I think is my most looked forward to set. You coming to Pound 5??

I'm interested but I can't promise anything..=]

 

[mastermoo420]

what do I hear?

johns?

that's right

To be more specific, reverse-johns. They at the level where the people who've beaten them will john for them. :3

 

[ranmaru]

Come, I need shiek practice. : D

 

[Dr Peepee]

^I'd *love* to play PP..:embarrass

It would be fun haha.

 

[Dart!]

Amsah who do you team with at these big tournies? i'm shocked to see you not out placing team UGS with the right teammate.

 

[Smasherx74]

I take over. Okay, first order of business. Find someone who can wavedash with more then one character - peach. Second order of business, Find a new person to take the top spot because I'm apparently not good at my job.

 

[AXE 09]

^I'm confused lol

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

^I'm confused lol

yeah lol that post didnt really make sense

 

[Kanelol]

the big picture made it cool

but what the ****

 

[The Star King]

Smasherx74 is a giant troll that's well-known in the 64 community. I have no idea why he's posting in the Melee boards for a change though.

 

[ranmaru]

LOL. I liked his effort though.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

Yeah he kinda made everyone forget what the discussion was about...
Oh yeah the future... ummm yeah something about Marth making a comeback and stuff

 

[t3h Icy]

Well I made a few topics of interest, but people would rather have tea and crumpets with trolls and whine about Hungrybox's playstyle.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

Well then I'll ask a few questions. Do you guys see Marth reemerging as a top character? If so, then what do you expect is the time it will take for him to reach that status? And what other characters do you think will have a breakthrough in their metagame that will make them more viable as a character?

Hmmmm... I dunno. If I wanted to input some skill into a character, I'd probably choose a character no one has used to the fullest yet.

But maybe marth could, if there is a will then theres a way. If no one does, why don't you? Practice. : D I play DOC because I like him tho. : D

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

If no one does, why don't you?

Lol Im trying =D

 

[SDC]

Do you guys see Marth reemerging as a top character?

Oddly enough, Mango thinks that Marth is the best character in the game. I don't know why he thinks this, and I'd honestly like to hear his reasoning behind that belief.

 

[Jimbo Slice]

Mango says Marth is the best character to troll M2K.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

Ive always seen Marth as a high level character, but never considered him to be the best. I'd say Jiggs and Falco have the potential to be the best.

 

[EPsilon933]

teams
singles

That's where they're the best.

Valid statement. Which brings up another question. Who do you think (besides Mango) is currently the best Falco??? Zhu? Shiz? PP? Chops? I personally would have said Dashizwiz, but after seeing Apex... I really have to say its between PP and Zhu at the moment.

 

[shadowboii]

Zhu is a lot like lucky, they're both too inconsistent.

PP is probably the best falco for now.

EDIT:

^ If we don't assume mango.

 

[t3h Icy]

Probably PP. Maybe Shiz. Perhaps Zhu. Possibly Calle W someday.

 

[ranmaru]

Lol Im trying =D

Lol I understand. I want to be a great doc and practice so much but ugh... Sometimes a falcon can get the best of me.. I'm like NO lets go and still... 10 onestocks :[

teams
singles

That's where they're the best.

I agree. Jiggs is SOOOOO helpful in teams, but it's hard to use her in singles. Was gonna say jingles lol.

 

[LushLahti]

Probably PP. Maybe Shiz. Perhaps Zhu. Possibly Calle W someday.

I think Dr.PP, Zhu, Mango, DaShizWiz, Lambchops, and Calle W all have their own forté. I don't really like to judge on who's better than the other, seeing as how each of them would 4 stock me no problem.

They're all good, and they all have their own unique playstyles.

By the way, did they ever do the round robin Falco tournament at Apex?

 

[KAOSTAR]

I have a strong feeling that AZ is bout to get off!

 

[Ryuker]

I have a strong feeling that AZ is bout to get off!

Pikachu will dominate melee in about a year?

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

Yes

10chars

 

[KAOSTAR]

Pikachu will dominate melee in about a year?

LOL when you say it like that I laugh at myself. But to be quite honest AXe prob wont stay the same. Either he will get better and start placing like he did at apex or ppl will digg deep and learn the pikachu MU and make it harder for him to get off.

Eggz AXe taj SW wobbles Lucky zhu mango hugs lucien lunin wobbles SS forward Dr Pee Pee hbox m2k AR amsah will be top players. Most are from WC for a reason.

 

[Kanelol]

PP best falco

by like 1.2 pro points

so it goes

PP: 11,982
Shiz/Zhu: 11,980.8

 

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

LoL top players quit because of **** like this. They start feeling like they are expected to do things.

When they don't, they gotta hear about it. When they do, well, it's expected, so no one really cares.

You can only deal with a "lose/lose" situation for so long before you stop caring.

so basically he quit because he was scared to lose to armada.

 

[SDC]

I swear to god, if anybody takes the bait.....
