I managed to watch a fair amount last night but obviously things have progressed.

are the 2v2s/1v1s over? Or are their finals today?

Is there no more mangopuff?

I think 1v1 pools are over -> singles tournament today, with finals + GF broadcasted tomorrow

most of today will be brawl, I fear
once, not long ago, there was a moon here

Just so people who somewhat follow the scene or want to follow know, there is a stream for apex: http://www.twitch.tv/8wayrun

Oh, might not be smash any longer, they got ssf and mvc coming up :/.

And more importantly the commentary isn't terrible like it was during crews. Some old fans will recogniz kdj who's playing right now.

Javi is a Fox main from Mexico. Smashboards is saying there were some recording mishaps so a lot of the pools matches were lost (or maybe never recorded). Hopefully all the bracket matches were =/

Armada's TL is beast, I'm glad he won. Or rather, as long as jiggs loses, I'm happy... What a broken character.

You mean Young Link. Jiggs can definitely be beat, but Hbox is just really good. Armada forced the longer sets with YL, and it was a snooze fest from there.

Mango got sucked into Armada's down smashes too much -_-. Good showing from everyone.

Melee dies a little faster with each tournament Hbox attends.

I mean, play to win and all, but he's single-handedly responsible for ruining Melee's reputation.

Any tips for a new player in melee (maybe a link to guides/good matches that demonstrate how to pull off good combos/spikes)? Just for some slightly competitive battles between me and my dorm floor mates, last semester we had super smash original, now someone's bringing a gamecube. Never had melee/gamecube, though I had a n64 and I've played smash a decent amount (I used fox). Thanks! ^^

There's some beginner guides on Youtube with advanced techniques like short hopping, wavedashing etc.

Just play Sheik and win is my advice.

it's hard to have tips for a new player because the metagame is brutally unforgiving. if you seriously want to get good prepared to put in a lot of work. my best advice:

get as technical as possible with whatever character you use. fox and falco are the best because it's so easy to improve with them through sheer tech skill. practice individual components (i.e. shine firefox ledge stall, perfectwd from ledge w/ invincibility, perfect wds and wavelands, shine oos, etc.) in specific blocks of time (i'm only gonna waveland for the next 5 minutes to get it down) so you put the time practicing to constructive use

you will get technical pretty quickly if you're consistent for ~20 min a day

find people in your area to play obv. melee community is very welcoming to new players. smash boards dawg

whoever you pick as your main (and it may take a while; explore but when you find a character who speaks to you, stick with him until your heart tells you otherwise) play them at least 90% of the time. most people stagnate because they get decent and then start fooling around w/ other characters

whoever you pick, watch that character's vids. you dont really need to bother with other random matches. for example if you pick fox there are a ton of good players to watch: for the basics i'd suggest chillindude829, mango, mew2king. to get an idea of how technical you need to be watch lovage, silent wolf, javi. and so on.

ive been in the community since '06 and rep socal (if you're in the area and have been part of the scene for any decent length of time we've prob met) so i do have a clue -shrugs-

If you're talking about Grand Finals, and you're actually looking to blame someone, I'd say put it more on Armada. He picked a character and playstyle to counter Hbox, forcing the camping. I don't think Hbox would argue if Armada went Peach, and the matches wouldn't have been as long/boring.

However, with the amount of prize money on the line, more power to the player to win however they want. You can't blame anyone for that.

Honestly, just play lot with other people. By having other people punish your bad habits, you'll automatically get better. If you're just starting, one of the worst things you can do is practice a certain combo. Just practice the basics and play with a ton of people.

This vid is old but explains most things:
