    Anyone else started watching hour long documentaries about Smash Melee without playing a single match? Cause I'm doing it and they are so entertaining.
    I also love that even low subscribed Smash Melee RUclipsrs (like this video I got recommended about) are funny, insightful and I enjoy every seconds of it. Maybe those crazy SNES/N64 and other Nintendo songs that keeps me intrigued throughout.
    Keep up the good work!

    This was GREAT to see... very motivating my guy! I struggled to remain consistent in this game I've been "invested" since 2013 but always fell short because I didn't have a real rival or the right resources to play... the best thing that happened was the release of Slippi, I didn't play as much but it definitely is what was needed.. We had anther's ladder but it wasn't as consistent or modernized as Slippi.... This reminds me of how MvC2 just had it's release on PC and there are so many killers, it's 2024 and anybody can learn a game if they are fully invested lets go!!

I’ve def seen players at 6 months that are quite a bit worse, hope you keep enjoying the game!
    Also every new player plays falco (and so do I) and when u started with marth I was so excited 😂😂 welcome to the bird club! I do find that the game is much easier to learn on fox/falco, and you can always switch later. My secondaries are all really good now without putting that much time on them just from understanding the game through falco

    A lot of people wouldn’t because it’s “risky” so people usually call it a “dumb move” but honestly even if it trades, you most likely will just go back to stage and they will lose a stock.

    Controller modder here. About the jammed L trigger: it's very common for dirt to go inside the trigger potentiometer (aka the lever), so most of the times just using a dry toothbrush with enough strenght and angles should fix it. You need to take the controller apart, but if you're afraid, you can ask australian modders (there are modders there)

    @ziggylarkdust Месяц назад

    A good tip is to turn on the overlay called "wait" and "spacie tech" when you're playing unclepunch. It will help speed up your overall play a bunch. "Wait" makes you turn green whenever you aren't moving which will show you when your slow to dash after aerials or between dair shines etc. "Spacie tech" gives you the frame data for a lot of the things so you'll know how slow you are when doing dair shines and other moves. Have fun.

    Enjoyed the video, just wanted to say in regard to your first controller's trigger jamming you might be squeezing the triggers too hard. I gave myself arthritis in one of my index fingers from squeezing the triggers so frequently and so hard ~10 years ago, and literally have to play on a rectangle now since I get intense pain and eventually lose all feeling in that finger after ~90 minutes of playing on a normal controller. Not squeezing as hard is a tough adjustment to make, but you can trim the springs or even get ergo triggers which you can easily install yourself. Glad you are enjoying the game, and hope you stick with it!

    The new versions of the gamecube controller don’t have a stabilizing bar in the trigger assembly like the original gamecube versions which makes the triggers slightly more wobbly and prone to getting stuck like that. You can open the controller and cut a tiny portion out which will prevent that from happening. The PhobGCC build guide shows how to do it

    former fox main here, retired from melee now play rivals 2 because my hands can't even play melee anymore. even after 3-4 rivals games my hands start to feel so stiff so quickly. loosen ur grip boys you aint need to hold the controller so damn hard

    Crazy how our journeys are exactly the same. Even down to the modder we bought from. I didnt pay anything near that much though.

    I had the same thing where I had been following the competitive scene since like 2017 while playing smash 4/ult and always thought it was just too late for me to get into it.
    Then in 2022 I gave it a go and today I still suck but I al way better then I thought I ever could be.

    amazing video, if i had a tip on how to clutch up on games, it would be to focus less/don’t think about making a comeback and rather just trying your best to play the game and have fun

    Great video mate, it's lovely seeing new blood in the scene especially in regions outside of America - not an easy game by any means.
    Think I should state the obvious though, no matter how good you will become you start out at a level where you will 0-2 every tournament (especially big ones) you go to and this can be definitely be for as long as 6 months, especially because of the way seeding works
    You should've got a bottom seed because you had no prior tournament history and as a result of the way seeding works you will face the highest seeds the tournament has to offer (for both winners and losers bracket) - you're honestly lucky you didn't end up having to play the likes of Joshman for your winners side set
    25% of the bracket has to go 0-2, so until you get to a certain skill level it will almost always be you.
    Also as if you didn't beat yourself up enough about it, I am dumbfounded that you bought a custom controller this early on, I don't think I bought anything good until about 18 months into playing. God help Australians buying shit online hahaha
