SH with fox for me is like 93% successful out of situations and SHL and SHDL are useful...I guess I kinda got the hang of wavedashing but how the heck are you suppose to SHDL while moving? It's like impossible!

Tilt(don't tap) the control stick, and y>b>b. That's for forward SHDL, I rarely attempt reverse. Illusions...

My favorite thing about melee is the amazing pro vids that inspire us to be creative with comboes. I saw DSW in one match against M2K. Dash attack --> SHL --> Fsmash. WHAT?!!!!!

Obviously it was the rage and confusion of friends who lost over and over to the typical "girly" character (Peach), the one that's "supposed" to suck.

The thing that I like the most about Melee is the fact that its called Melee. Since Brawl came out I just love how Melee sounds to the ear.

Melee.

I love how characters can combo and perform techs in a fluid motion as if they never stop moving. Watching vids of space animals utilizing (sometimes unecessarily) flashy combos is just fun to see.

What do I like the most about Melee? Everything, basically. Especially all the advanced methods that made it so fun, and also the fast-paced speed of it. ^^

I agree. When I hear melee, I think of martial artists/fencers fighting with extreme speed, skill, and finesse. When I hear Brawl, I think of sort of a wrestling match, where brute strength is your best asset. And that's just not from playing the two games, I pictured those words to have those meaning since before I even played melee.

And, yes, I know those aren't the correct definitions. I was in elementary school when I first heard the word melee. Sounded french to me then. French stereotypes don't have large muscles. I remembered seeing a french guy fencing in the olympics once. That is what gave me that impression of the word. Ah, to be young and impressionable...

a couple things i love melee...
1.there is actually a separation bewteen noobs and pros.
2.the adrenalyne i get when it gets to 1 stock and very close match.
3.the adrenalyne i get when i play stoned.
4.AT's are fun to learn and makes the overall funness of the game better.
5.wavedashing looks BA.
6.snake players only have to press the A button to kill someone, which is impossible in melee.


too bad i have only one friend that is as good as me in melee, and he doesnt do any AT's either. in my area there is only 4 people who are good at smash, luckly we are all friends, but 2 of them only like to play the original, and the other one likes to play melee.

about 4-5 other kids suck at melee and only like to play brawl. =/
...got to get a tourny started so i can meet other smashers.

You live in NJ, guess who else lives there? Mew2king. There are plenty of amazing smashers in NJ, find their smashfests on the boards and go to them.
