YES, YES, YES! I might make my return soon. Who knows! As long as it's not during the 29th of November-15th of January as I will be on Holiday in India. I have been waiting for this day to come and I do NOT want to miss it. I might also revive the 64 scene and bring back its former glory. Don't worry Dean, my magic commentary and motivation will be here. Boronia FTW. Isn't that right Dekar. If HQ is located near Boronia I will be THRILLED. Till then, take your time to hone your craft and be the best you can be and watch out for Earl. He is coming and when he arrives, there will be hell to pay. Till then, keep smashing.
There is a very nice venue I could host a Smash tourney at. It's less than a minute from my place walking, has a 205 and 200 bus stop right outside the place, so it's easily accessible from the city, tables, chairs, and I can rent the place.
Oh, and it's next to tennis courts.

And where exactly is your place. Need an address here! If it's not far for me, I might be able to grace you all with my presence. If not, I'll wait till the Boronia tournament. And if there is tennis courts. I'll 1v1 anyone wishing to verse me in tennis.

As long as it's not far from Boronia. If it's really hype and it's an Australian Smash major, I DO NOT want to miss it. Gotta show those Americans that we Australians are catching up in terms of the skill gap. If there is a Boronia tournament, I'll be happy because I'll finally be able to just not only compete in Smash but also get to play with guys I consider my good friends. Gosh, it reminds me of the day I used to have Smash 64 meets with old friends back in the early 2000's primary school days. Really want to revive those days.

Sorry to burst your bubble but we are NOT catching up with the Americans. The gap is widening all the time.

@S.D What happened to your faith man. I'm saying this so I can bring motivation to the rest of the Australian smashers. Of course we're well behind when it comes to the skill gap between the Americans but if we have enough motivation, one day we MIGHT just be able to catch up. We need to be motivated and a Melee leader, champion and role model such as yourself needs to bring it. The Melee community needs someone to look up to and you are that guy along with Dekar. The only way we can look up to you is if you stop being so negative and bring some motivation and positivity for a change. Aside from this, no hard feelings to you man/bro/homie. You're still a friendly guy and I have no grudges against you.
You are not motivational.
S.D
Smash Master
The reason we're not improving relative to other national scenes is because of a lack of competition at the top.
People SHOULD be motivated to improve and should be aiming at surpassing Dekar and other top players, but until there's genuine competition at the top there won't be improvement. When you're winning you aren't practicing or trying hard to improve, you coast until someone challenges you. Currently there aren't many people doing it. I challenge everyone else to challenge the top players - that's how we move forward as players. It's not my lack of motivation that hurts us, it's everyone elses. I have mad respect for guys like Kier and Skeletom and more recently Billy who are making strides, we need more people doing what they're doing.

Well yeah, I live in Mill Park - Recently acquired 2 crt's meaning people can actually come over and play smash now. Only recently moved into the property though and still waiting for a lot of furniture to arrive so would have to deal with sitting on crappy seats haha.
Apart from that, I'm free most weekdays and some weekends, so if people were keen to come play Melee, send me a pm and i'll give you my mobile. Should hopefully have Internet connected soon (I really ****ing hope so anyway) and when that day comes I will have multiple recording and streaming setups too.

Nov 12, Before that it was Oct 16, before that it was Sep 18, before that was Sep 7th... All because the previous tenants used the Fibre conduits to run foxtel to the house, and APPARENTLY it's Illegal to have that removed... And digging a ditch apparently takes 3 months of co-ordination with telstra O.o
