EPTI watched the smash documentary a year or so ago, had no idea the game was so amazing, so happy about tl branching off into it even if I've never played the game. It's a ton of fun to watch, and the parallel with bw makes it a natural fit for TL.

Not that they don't have things requiring frame perfect timings either. How on earth do you play a fighter with 14 frames of lag I'm a SF4 player and I agree with you. Melee is frantic and way faster. It's pretty close to kof13 tho as far as rhythm goes. But heh, not having a strong online mean people try to get together more. If you have the drive of the Smash community, it's not the lack of online play that will stop you. | ||

That Documentary was powerful stuff. When I finished watching that months ago, I got everyone I could to start playing melee again with me. | ||

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you practice this game (or other fighting games) as a progamer if online is out of the question? Naturally you can start playing with your friends in the beginning. The problem I see is when you start to get really good, do you just pray there's another talent living in your neighborhood? Do these gamers have team houses? Can you train against an AI to some extent? | ||

EDIT- When I said online I don't mean the crap that currently exists. I mean something actually decent like modern fighters have which ARE playable with 1 frame timings as others have mentioned. When you have a full time job and/or don't live in a good smash area it does make a difference. Online play is also one of those things that lets new players who have never touched it get a taste of it. Otherwise most people don't get to really enjoy the right level of competition. I mean, try imagining BW without online. | ||

Do these gamers have team houses? Can you train against an AI to some extent? Generally your best practice resource are the people geographically nearby. Today, with modern social media, finding players and events is not difficult, though obviously some areas have a higher density of competitive players than others. I don't know of team houses at the moment. Other people have mentioned how online is suboptimal, and the AI is too weak to even approach practice. | ||

Local tournaments happen all the time, and there were frequently larger gatherings for "why the hell not" (like Chudat's biweeklies). People money match each other all the time. Melee is entirely a LAN game. Back in the first Golden Age of Melee there were major LANs almost every month, in addition to the smaller LANs that happened every weekend. | ||
