not a knock to other people by any means but the way he's playing at his age is very noteworthy to me. he was learning a lot mid set while we were playing, not necessarily succeeding at avoiding punishment but at least changing movement and hesitating to the point where he's aware of what I'm beating him with and actively trying to cover the weaknesses that im exploiting
that's always the sign of a talented player and when combined with his age i think it's a safe bet to put my $$$ on him

there's a lot of up and comers though, shiro you've improved a lot since the first time we played, for instance, and i haven't even seen your final form (or, at least, new form XD ) . and let's not forget our favorite poster @Death Arcana who is on a silent grind and has already proven himself to be a contender in brawl. then you have your alkemyst's and beekeeper's who are wily ol' vets who I have already confirmed are extremely skilled at halo 1 and know how to win games, but need more time to learn the quirky melee mechanics and matchups. then there's the young bird ascending over the mountains who's name verifies that he measures melee distances. but you will soon learn the 2nd meaning of his name, @Meleeruler . and don't count out the fringe players, our notable ICs and doc extraordinaires steady grinding in the shadows with their nitch characters. and word on the street is there's a puff player coming from brawl who has a silly forum name but is in fact a patient and frustrating opponent, ready to put you on tilt and take a nap - @ socandrewcer socandrewcer

I may be leaving soon (along with @ Jekyll Jekyll ) but I'm confident you guys will continue to develop and flourish. the utah melee scene I see in 2016 is gunna be a ****ing force, with or without my old ***. @Sexy Yaz and @Perfect Chaos , I trust you guys will keep the community in good hands with the efforts and accommodation of @ Tsuteto Tsuteto . you guys are the best. doesn't even feel like the same place I moved into when I first came in 2013.
This is all I could think of while reading this.

Also @ Jekyll Jekyll is Black Shadow. For reasons.

edit: better version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN-gvLxF8vg#t=955

edit2: a worse version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa5OkdP3-r8

edit3: a dota version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ykbVt1ZaJM

edit4: another version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWnoYF930gM#t=354

reposting this to a new page because its worth it.

As someone who was born blind and illiterate, I find these requirements highly offensive as they set an impossibly high barrier for my people.

However, I will gladly accept the controller as reparations for this most heinous of transgressions.

Melee. But if I decide to main him there, I'll probably carry it over to P:M.
Study Axe. He's no slouch. He doesn't just do OK at tournaments; he reaches top 16 in ridiculously huge tournaments almost every single time. He can gimp like no other. I love watching Axe. ^_^

Yeah I watch Axe constantly, that's who inspired me in the first place. So you think Pikachu can be viable enough to win our little Utah tournaments?

Axe beats Mango. Mango beats the world. Math would dictate: yes, Pikachu could stomp Utah.

Jiggs is terrible in pokemon but great in smash. Tail whip sucks in pokemon but is amazing in smash. Mewtwo is da bomb in pokemon but dies in smash.

I didn't even recognize that. This tier list is so predictable

Edit: Pokemon Trainer sucked in Brawl too. And Lucario was ok in pokemon and is ok in brawl.

Sink or swim, Utah.

You'll all be fine though. As @ Tomacawk Tomacawk said (using the fragrant, colorful terms that only he can produce) there's plenty of budding talent here and some good players to guide you.

@ Jekyll Jekyll When and if you leave I will take the mid tier Mario Bros torch and I will uphold the legend that you have left for us :crying:

Mario and Luigi... bros4ever :cry:

Hey! I'm new to the whole Smash community, but I've been playing since the N64. Someone on /r/SmashBros pointed me this direction. I want to get into competitive smashing, it looks like a ton of fun, and I'm super excited for the 3DS version of SSB4.

Right now, my big games are Deus Ex: Human Revolution, BioShock Infinite, Team Fortress 2, and Borderlands. I'm a HUGE PC gamer. Outside of that, I'm excited for the new Kirby game on the 3DS, and that'll give my 3DS a lot more love than it's currently getting. And I play Ingress once in a blue moon, though not nearly as much as I used to.

OKAY. My apologies.

Right now, just P:M and Brawl. However, it's just kinda of here or there, as right now I'm in between jobs AND getting into college.
Well, check the boards here, and you'll likely hear about every tournament and most smash fests. the group is pretty welcoming, so come whenever you can.

want a ride? I should have room for one more.
Sure thing... meet me at the front of Neumont or where do you want me to go? Also what time?


Also to everyone else:
I'm thinking of turning the Neumont monthlies into a series spanning over 3 months... what do you guys think? We could have rankings and maybe other things. We could try new things every series.
