i'm probably a bit late with this but whatever.

Hi,
My name is Michiel "michelangelo" Dekker. I'm currently 14 years old and i live in The Netherlands.
When i was 6 years old i played a lot of melee with my brother and my friends at my home. Back then we obviously didn't know anything about the competitive scene. We just played on temple with all the items with kirby and link etc. When brawl came we played it proably as much as melee.

6 years forward to when i was 12, my brother found dolphin. When he said that we could play gamecube and wii games iI was soo hyped. We only played melee and brawl. It eventually was only melee and PM (which my brother also discovered). My brother already knew about the competitive scene then and i slowly also really got in to it. When i saw what all those guys where doing i wanted to be able to do that so badly that i actually started practicing myself with falco for the first time. This was about 4 months ago.

Now i'm just trying to improve as much as i can everyday. I still main falco and i've also been practicing wih lately. I've been able to sacred combo somebody once with falcon and i can also wobble a bit XD. I also like to use mario, doc and pikachu once in a while. I also bought myself a wii recently so i can practice even more and better. I feel like i've become pretty far in 4 months and since i'm pretty young i hope i can get somewhere in the future and go to a tourney at least once. The melee scene is not that big in the netherlands unfortunately so IF there is anyone from the netherlands who might even live somewhere close to Amsterdam, please hit me up! If anyone has any advice to help me, that would be nice.

Right now I'm actually way more into melee than my brother XD. He doesn't really play that much and i'm also a bit better than him.
But i sure thank him a lot for bringing me into melee.

Haha so the apprentice becomes the master I see! So you've played Melee and Brawl, huh? That's cool! Have you ever played Smash 64? Or the newest Smash for that matter?

No, but that's something i actually really want to. Especially smash 4. The game doesn't look that hard and i wonder how i would do for the first time XD. I do watch some smash 4 videos so also have a little bit of knowledge about it but as much as melee. I hope i can play it soon next year!
