What are your ambitions as a Melee player?

[Wreckarooni]

Me personally I have a full time career so i don't have time to travel to nationals or dedicate the time I'd like to. So for now it's locals and the very rare regionals and that is satisfying enough for me. I am thinking of transitioning my buying/selling from a side hobby to "full time" to allow the most flexible hours for practicing and not be tied down so I can travel to more tournaments.

 

[pershona]

Trying to get top 8 at a local is probably my current goal, though sadly i can't attend many tournaments.

 

[EPsilon933]

To get famous online

 

[20YY SS | Saiblade]

To become the number 1 Falco in the world. I have a long road ahead.

 

[Nixon Corral]

My goal is just to become the best Falcon I can be. Got a long way to go, but I have the most fun playing Falcon and don't ever intend to switch.

 

[zero sum]

to have fun mostly. really i like playing people better than i am and learning how to adapt to what they're doing. i think adaptation is generally one of my weak points, especially in fighting games, but it's sort of a trial through fire. i'm a very inexperienced player, and i think i'd argue that despite knowing about the scene for about a year i'd say that i've really only been playing hands-on for about six months. so learning from people who are top ~150ish is always pretty nice even if i can usually only take two or three stocks off of them, especially since learning how to space and orient yourself differently are both really important. melee's like a puzzle or a riddle with so many variables you know you can never figure it out entirely and i think that's always held a huge allure to me.

right now i'm too busy to take it seriously since i'm trying to polish my french for college in the fall and i'm teaching myself spanish so i'm kind of taking a break and trying to break down videos very late into the night and analyze them (like right now! i'm watching hax v pewpewu and taking notes on it at 6:15am hahaha). it feels like i'm learning a lot about the neutral game which is good since i feel that understanding of it was very lacking from my play, especially towards the close of the school year. ideally i would like to make deep runs into nationals but i think that's sort of rough because i'm in college during all the big ones and by the time i'm done in two years i know that either the melee scene will probably only have two or three good years left for it or i'll have no interest in it. not to mention i probably won't even be close to good enough to even make it out of pools at the big nationals. realistically speaking i don't think i want to play video games competitively into my mid-twenties, at least not seriously, but no offense to those who do; it's just not something i have planned for myself.

 

[Clint Jaguar]

I want to get good enough to the point where the majority of my matches look like combo videos.

 

[Dolla Pills]

To impress the ladies with my tech skill obviously

 

[Wreckarooni]

To impress that one girl that is probably here with her boyfriend with my tech skill obviously

FTFY

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Right now, I want to beat the best players in my region.

 

[AirFair]

To be the best. Ever. It will take a while. Even if I don't get to be the next greatest, I will still end up somewhere good through trying.

You can listen to this while blazing through the ranks.

 

[Gilbz]

I want to be good enough for myself. Not sure how good that is yet, but I just know that I want to be better.

 

[Roukiske]

I got into the game because of combo videos. Got to style (efficiently) on my opponents.

 

[AirFair]

lmao of course. I hope to definitely be the goat one day.

 

[Brett30000]

i cant go to many tournaments due to transportation issues. but i can get to xanadu like once or twice a month so i think my goal right now is to at least get to quarter finals then eventually winning the tournament.

 

[MEnKIRBZ]

I want 2 win evo and become a goat or a cow (champion of the world)

 

[Spak]

I'd rather be a bull than a cow 'cause I'm a guy.

 

[PixelPerfect]

I kinda just want to get top 8 at our local weekly brackets. I'm kind of a terrible player so I've still got a ways to go.

 

[MEnKIRBZ]

What does bull stand for? Bad ugly little loser?

/joke

 

[CptJPuff]

I just want to see how far I can climb. As long as I know I'm not at the very bottom, I'm fine.

 

[pagedMov]

Personally, I think my dream is a bit to ambitious, but you can never aim too high. I really want to win a super-major. I don't care how many years it takes for me to get that far, I'll do it.

 

[GhettoNinja]

My goal is to get as far as possible with my young link. If i never win anything bigger then a Local with him I'm ok with that, now that being said I won't stop til there's no hurdles left for me to jump. I know I'm at a disadvantage, I know I'm probably never going to win a major. But there's still a chance no matter how small, and that's all I really need to stay motivated.

 

[B_Cypher]

I just want to reach the top 100, even if thats for like 10 minutes PPPP

 

[deadPhoenix]

I want to be a world champion, but in order to keep myself sane I set smaller goals for myself. Goal right now is to get top 10 in a local. Next goal is to win a local. Goal after that is to win a regional, and then a national.

 

[gmBottles]

I want to be the greatest Bowser player of all time. That is my greatest aspiration as of now.
Winning tournaments is of course something I want to do, but my primary focus is developing Bowser's nonexistent metagame. Bowser is easily my favorite character in all of Smash Bros, and I want to figure out everything there is to know about the Koopa King.

I also want to style on fools with a ****-tier character lmao

That sounds awesome. Good luck!

 

[vien]

I pretty much want to be the best Sheik player ever. Eventually, the best player ever. Right now my goal is to win a local, and get ranked in MDVA in maybe like 6-9 months.

Well as a fellow mid tier main I wish you the best of luck. I think I know more then anyone how much it sucks having a dead boards and meta for your character.

Yung Leank boards aren't nearly as dead as a few of the other boards. I think even the Jigglypuff boards are less active, if not the same level of activity. Bowser boards are surprisingly not as dead as they used to be, which is awesome.

Well I guess the first thing to start with is before Young Link I used Roy. So I've seen a handful of the Low tier boards. My main point was that the low tier meta is really undeveloped. XD like at this point we should make a group for dedicated low tier players and discuss Space animal strategy's or something.

I just realized your logo was a black belt. It all makes sense now haha.

 

[Gilbz]

I feel like it is important to make large goals and small goals at the same time. I want to win regionals or maybe even a national eventually, but I need to start with winning locals. There's a process/ladder you have to climb in order to be the best.

 

[Lime Cultivist]

All I want to do is win some locals to get experience. Listen to my favorite music and just play. But I can't go to any locals because they don't happen much nearby, and when they do happen I'm either busy or too nervous to go be around all the people.

 

[meebius]

I want krispy kreme movement

 

[vexoskeleton]

My goal is to eventually be good enough to win a national. It'll be a long road till I get even near reaching that but hopefully one day I will. Right now though my smaller goal is to win a local.

 

[TRYHARD86]

Take over the world!!!!!!
