When will the TL store have smash stuff for sale >_> | ||

How is the scene so big. :O Combination of different things, but years and years of the friendlist, best community will get you a scene like this. The scene is built on a huge tradition of hospitality and trust. When I played ultra competitively, we used to travel to different states in groups of 3-4 and stay at complete strangers houses over a weekend so we could attend tournaments. The most important things though, are that the community knows exactly how great their game is and how fun it is too. That's been the ultimate shield through time, sequels and other games. It also helps that it's literally got the best of both worlds from the Starcraft games, something for everybody. Extremely hard and mechanical at the top like Brood War, but at the same time it has a built in fanbase and a smaller learning curve like Starcraft 2. At the end of the day melee is incredibly deep and incredibly fun and that's why I still go to Smashfests every Friday. | ||

Melee isn't exactly a growing scene that draws in a lot of viewership, it's just an inbred scene that was neglected for a while and people were "astounded" when they remembered "Oh yeah, people play that game." It's an unbalanced mess that's mediocre at best to watch and not fun to play unless playing casually. I just don't see a point in this. Edit: Maybe a bit harsh, nothing against the players, I'm sure they're great at what they do, and it's awesome for Liquid to support anyone who's into progaming and all that, I just don't understand why this game. Melee is a growing scene, it has at least doubled over the last year. The game attracted 130000 viewers at EVO, thus a lot of people consider it more than mediocre to watch. Not fun to play is again your own opinion, plenty of people enjoy competitive smash. | ||

Well done for seeing that Melee is THE game to be following right now, it is growing like crazy after the documentary (probably the best video game based show ever made). Very excited because I hope we can get Liquid over here to participate in UK comps!!!! | ||

The game attracted 130000 viewers at EVO, thus a lot of people consider it more than mediocre to watch. Not fun to play is again your own opinion, plenty of people enjoy competitive smash. There are very much two camps in melee. The largest one (due mostly to the sheer ubiquity of the game) is composed of people who play purely casually. At this level, very few people know the mechanics of advanced play, or even how to shuffle or wavedash. The relatively smaller group covers people who have at least on some level, realized the potential that all these techniques can give. People always said it was horrendously balanced (a tier system exists with the characters), yet those tiers were being rewritten each year as the meta developed. If starcraft II is classical music, melee is jazz | ||
