TO PIKAPIKA!, or NEIL FREER
Dear Neil,
You used to be the best in Melee, and you were always my rival, even back when you used to 4 stock me. I always wanted to beat you, mainly cuz I hated you since you were the biggest ******* about beating me. Any normal noob would have quit after getting ***** and trashtalked by you, but alas, I have perservered and am now on my way to becoming the world's best Melee player.
However, I truly miss your Melee skills. You are one of VERY VERY few people, if not the ONLY person who, playing at their best, mentally and technically, can go even with me, if not, beat me. You had a unique playstyle that is ageless, like most old Melee pros. I'm talking about your Sheik mainly, but your Pika too, in certain matchups only though.
Now when I watch you, it's like...Wow, there's a player that could help me defend our region when people come play us, and also when we go to other regions. But, he doesn't care about the game anymore, so people that he definitely can beat, beat him.
However, I have a ton of respect that you continue to enter Melee tournaments, even though you know you're prolly gonna lose. At the very very least, keep doing that, however, this is an attempt to get you to play Melee again.
The only reason I care so much isn't becuase you used to be good, but it's because of your UNIQUE playstyle, that was truly smart, and ignored silly, unnecesary advancements in the metagame. You didn't do stupid tricks that people catch onto. You focused on reading and punish, a strategy that can never be beaten, no matter how much time the metagame has seen.
I know you have school, and I guess that's more important to you than Smash, but you should see people out of state here. Melee is their life dude. They go to school, get good grades, and just play Melee. They explore the finer details of the game, and they look forward to practicing so much, because the rewards of seeing themselves improve are so fulfilling to them. You can do school and Melee, it's def possible.
Another thing you're going to say is Brawl. Normally, I would say **** Brawl, play Melee...But, one thing stops me from saying that. That one day at Cyberstorm, where you ***** San and Cura and it was the best I had ever seen you play. That one day, showed me your true potential in Brawl, and although I won't say I'm happy you put the time you used to put Melee into Brawl, I will say I was satisfied, and happy to see your Brawl efforts pay off.
But, here's a question...Why not play both? Why not train with me in both Melee and Brawl, and we can **** face in both games? I want to play Brawl but I don't like playing because of certain things that people abuse. I don't mind losing to you though because you can genuinely outsmart me, something very few people can do in either game. So when I lose, I don't feel it's because of the gay game mechanics.
Also, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you will be better than me LOL ***** I won 11 Brawl tournaments in a row for a reason, and San and Cura you can bet your ***** when I start training again I'ma keep on winning, cuz I'm a winner and that's what I do. Not that I don't respect you guys IMMENSELY, but WNY is MY region, and when I want to win at my home, I'll ****ing do it. That's that.
Anyways Neil, stop d1cking around dude. Enough hon, enough WOW, enough school, enough chilling at the apartment with random girls that don't matter. It's time to ****ing step up and become great again, like you were once.
What you gonna do, accept or ***** out?
