Where you at TL? I've noticed there are quite a few of us who play Melee so I figured we need a thread (and smashboards threads are horrible). This thread is for all discussions related to Melee including tournaments, players, strategy, etc..

Mandatory highlight video that shows how awesome melee is:



TLers:

Zapdos_Smithh
Main: Peach
Active: Since July 2009
Location: Vancouver, B.C.

Athos
Main: Jigglypuff/Falco
Active: Been playing since the game came out. Competitive wise, I've only been to a few tournaments, and at most of them I got my ass handed too me. However I still I think I'm decent :D
Location: Philadelphia, PA

Chau
Main: Jigglypuff / Marth
Active: Played...a couple years in Junior High, then a few hours every week at High School. Nowhere near competitive level, although I'm better than most casual players
Location: Edmonton, Alberta

d3_crescentia
Main: Falco
Active: previously from 2005-2007, and now
Location: Gaithersburg, MD

ThatGuy
Main: Young Link
Active: Competitively, 2005-Current
Location: Montreal, QC

Humbug
Main: Ice Climbers
Active: Played awhile back when melee first came out, started playing "real" melee around 2007 when my friends and I started up a smash club at school. It's gone now. What's left is a group of about 4 smashers (including me) that often play at school after school's over.
Location: Bay Area, CA

shavingcream66
Main: Marth/Shiek
Active: not competitive but better than the casual gamer
Location:

Meta
Main: Shiek, Doctor Mario
Active: Haven't played in some time because I can't find the power cord for my gamecube, but I've been playing since it's release, about 8 years now. Not quite competitive, but way above casual.
Location: Boulder/Denver, Colorado

Misrah
Main: Mewtwo
Active: Been playing at a competitive level for around 5 years. One of the best, if not the best M2 player in the midwest states.
Location: Green Bay Wisconsin

gamecrazy67
Main: Captain Falcon
Active: 2 years in high school, met friends who played smash competitvely and they pound my sorry ass, but i'm way above casual. Not competitive because i'm missing the tech skill
Location: Bellflower, CA

Kaialynn
Main: Game and Watch, Jigglypuff
Active: 5-6 years, the tournament scene in Colorado is pretty dead though and most of the ones that have popped up i've been too busy to go to, so i'm probably not all that great, know the usual Wavedash Shffl and others, just never played with any super competitive players.
Location: Fort Collins, CO

ketomai
Main: Fox, Falcon
Active: Haven't been active since 2005-6ish (to give you an idea, m2k was still a noobie that I could beat back then). As a smasher I was previously known as nevake and mostly only played when MLG Dallas came or with the other North Texans/Houston people. I still play for fun though; my falcon skill hasn't deteriorated much. I also play a lot of BtT.
Location: Right now, Waco, Texas

Zoler
Main: Sheik
Active: 1.5 months
Location: Sweden

numLoCK
Main: Marth, second Falco
Active: Haven't played much at all since Ken was the Man, followed M2K a little bit but not much. No idea what is going on in the scene right now, but always nice to catch up
Location: BC, Canada

Boxman (X)
Active: Almost 5 years

Location: Vancouver, BC

Zephyris (or Will)

I'll start with a topic. Anybody going to Pound 4? Predictions for who do you think will win? I think Zhu will do really well this tournament for some reason. He is playing really dope lately.

Btw info about me (feel free to post about yourself as well and I will put it in the list):

I've been to some of the local MD/DC/NoVA events a few years ago, and I went to a bunch of tourneys in Cleveland/Columbus OH when I was going to college there. In late 2005 I made top 16 at a tournament, but it's because it was filled with scrubs in pools. I then faced Mew2King in the first round of double elimination and got raped T_T

Here's a SmashWiki entry I made for tournament reference: http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Thatguy . I've been a very active participant in the Montreal community. For the past year and a half, I've been playing a lot of Brawl competitively, but I've recently dropped it as of late to play more Melee and Brawl+. I used Captain Falcon for the majority of my Smash career, but now I'm using Young Link.

I'd be more than happy to help with any advice regarding the Montreal scene or competitive smash in general.

I have some old videos of me floating on youtube, here are some of my favorites:

Was going to go the the tourney up in San Fran this saturday, but decided against it since I really don't want to be out for ~10 hours (can't drive yet, so would have to wait for specific train times).

Also, jigglypuff is a stupid character xx".

It's decently far, like 8 hours driving. I won't be going due to school, finances, and lack of interest.

Finland's best player for about 2 years 2005-2006, currently top 3-6 depending on the day. Main Marth, Falco, secondaries all top and high tiers, Zelda, Pikachu, Pichu. Currently quite inactive. Nearly perfect tech skill with both characters, know all advanced techs really well, can empty pivot and waveshine and drillshine and what have you.

Great at comboing and 0-death stuff and chaingrabs, but mindgames and match-up knowledge not good enough, ='( I'd still say I'm one of the better players here!

Mk added you guys (I will add you shikyo when you give me main/active/location).

Anyway, predictions for Pound 4??? I think:

1. Armada
2. Zhu
3. Mango

No love for east coast rofl. I have a feeling Mango's reign will be over soon as well, that guy has just been too dominant for so long.

imo Champaign Combos (and its sequel) are the best Melee combo videos out there.

I main Sheik and I probably suck now because I don't really play any more. Oh well. I think I stopped caring to get better about a year ago or so. I'm on-par with most of the Cleveland area other than the actually good people.
