So, Civil War VI is happening today -- VGBootCamp will be streaming Melee this weekend. I haven't found pools for Melee yet, but I'm still looking. This is for Evo seeding and a decent prize pool. Will report back if I find pools, etc.

yo are you serious? lucky beats people through sheer mechanics and speed so if ken is beating him then ken is actually demonstrating that he's in like the tier of players that can take games off anyone not top 5.

these smash melee streams are awesome! is there like a schedule of these so I could submit calender events? I never know they are happening unless I'm bored and I'm looking through TL streams and I see vgbootcamp.

yeah, i think it's rather hard to keep up to date with all the new tournaments... there isn't really anywhere where you get to see all tournament streams...

until then check the stream section on smashboards.com (on the right hand side at the top... Just like TL ) or check https://twitter.com/ssblivestreams

and you can obviously check the tournament listings on SWF... you should have all bigger tournaments, probably gonna miss out on a couple of euopean tournaments if you use this as orientation, but you shouldn't miss much!

edit: You in touch with the Luxembourg-Scene? There's a couple of decent players around that travel to Germany every once in a while!

happy for ken making his return, but i might be more excited about fiction winning his first SSS by 3-0ing westballz and edging out s2j in some incredible sets. ex brawl player who played a great wario, switched to melee and has just been steadily getting better and better. hes not as technical as some other really good foxes but he has a great sense of reading fundamentals (possibly from brawl) which a lot of other pure fox mains dont have as much of. of course, he suffers from fox inconsistency but i think he might be one of socals strongest players in the near future. seriously, that set versus westballz.


what am i saying hes #4 on socals PR now

thats true for pretty much all fox players though, hes just not as solid as other foxes like hax, silent wolf, javi, lucky, etc. his execution doesnt seem as good to me and i see him messing up a lot even in friendlies

so I'm just getting into melee again as a player since some of my friends are starting to play it again.
they've been playing it in college and such though and I had no such community there.

so obviously I'm very behind. I used to be ok and was among the best of my friends when I played. I was definitely top 2 among the group of 10 or so we had. before I stopped playing I had pretty much mastered wavedashing/l-cancelling/shorthop but that was about it.

since i'm trying to pick it up again, any tips to practice mechanics/get back into it? I'm so shit right now lol. I've been practicing vs computer for 30 minutes or so every day but I can't even get 3 shorthop l-cancelled fairs in a row on marth vs a punching bag.

tl;dr basically starting melee from scratch again, any tips on learning mechanics? practice routines? should I go claw? heard about it but don't really know what it is that well. any help would be appreciated since my friends and I are going to be smashing next month and I definitely want to beat them.



Speaking of claw, is there any good tutorials on how to do it properly? I heard that if you are just starting out it could be a good way to start learning.

Sorry I don't have any advice for you, as I'm just starting to learn myself.
Y'know sometimes people ask me y'know like "What's your religion and stuff?" And I'm like "y' know it's like RTS." Uh, and they're like, "What's that?" And I'm like, "Y'know it's kinda like, kinda like Buddism."

Claw is overhyped tbh
Just go to training mode and practice mechanics.. that's really the gist of it, unless you have players to practice with... actually even if you do, still go to training mode and practice mechanics, make sure you can do the key things 99 out of 100 times (exaggeration for emphasis).

Training mode is useless. Just do a 99-stock or infinite time match against a CPU in vs mode. No c-stick in training mode.

Sometimes I wonder how many thousands of stocks I've taken from a level 1 fox

Not everything you can practice requires C-stick, and it's infinitely easier when no one is annoying you/fighting back.
Guess it depends if you use c-stick for air attacks or not. If you don't (like me), training mode is far more useful for tech practice.
