Player in Atlantic Canada | Believe in yourself, dont fear failure, dream big, work hard, stay positive and enjoy the journey.
I understand why the newer smash doc is behind a paywall
But man
Not a single person i know has actually watched it or plans on watching it.
Its a real shame because the first documentary motivated me, and i know if the newer one was made public it would inspire people too
@DSWBronson
If you asked Leffen or a player better than you to play and they said "only if you pay me, I dont get anything from you to learn from me for free" at the summit house, would you find that respectable and fair then?
Entering every tournament is so optimal...
Lose? "they're entering so frequently that each set doesn't really matter to them, its about the process"
Win? "God they worked so hard for this, entering every day...what a respectable melee player GIGACHAD trust the process"
Just got offered an $800 travel voucher to miss my flight and take the next....
Airport hell continues but I'll likely be able to go to another major this year WOOOOOOOOOO
I don't know what makes me more sad, being robbed by anime pfps of one of if not THE best fox(and player in general?)'s gameplay, or the fact that people are doubling down in the QRTs.
Just shows how classless the dark side of melee twitter can be
I will be dropping out of TBH.
Due to receiving death threats since yesterday I do not feel comfortable entering anymore, for my sake and others.
I have already alerted and sent info to the TOs. Thanks for understanding.
What a run tonight....
Danny Phantom, Kevin Maples, Dawson x2, Kuyashi, mvlvchi, and a Medz set!
Ggs to everyone, loved the melee. Glad Medz got himself a sponsor, he's wicked smart :)
@Magnusm1
This is true
Netflix was the plan, and Vimeo was a fallback option
I wish at the very least they chose something like patreon, but to my knowledge vimeo was chosen because they dont take much of a cut
REGARDLESS i think it would make more revenue on YouTube with a dono link
This is the first performance in a looooong time that I've really been proud of. Not a whole lot more to say, just elated.
Thanks to the bys for making NL feel like home for me, can't wait to come back in the future :]
Now we grind to defend the hometown in two weeks 🤠
I don't have the strength of ego to be ghosted across the fields of discord so
If any top fox who I'd have good ping with (Moky/Joshman/Aklo/Zuppy/Mot$/Lotfy/Chem/KJH?/Zamu?/Shabo?) needs sheik practice PLS DM ME
Would pay a top fox for consistent practice at this point...
@Ben_SSBM
If you spend 10+ years learning a game, have no income/apply daily for jobs, and then have an opportunity to play said game for 2~ hours to make enough for the next week of meals..get your bag.
Everyones situation is different, I'm just personally close to a couple people 1/2
Hot Take
Fox's only S tier because on 2/6 of the legal stages in every MU outside of Marth & Falco he gets an 80/20 MU
Melee would be infinitely better if we just played on Battlefield, Yoshis, and Dreamland, with Dreamland potentially being swapped for FoD upon more discussion
Seeing people I beat consistently in the top 100 motivates and discourages me
It's just such a drag to know having money/opportunity is the only way to make your presence known globally if you're from anywhere but the US
Spitefully attending a ton this year and making top 50
Is anyone planning on organizing a non-top 100 player tournament to showcase rising talent anytime soon?
Feels like the most neglected zone of players by far; we have coinbox and other events to pay our top players, onlynoobs for our new players, and NOTHING for the mid levels.
Don't really care about the skerzo transformation punish
Just played terrible all bracket, a small punish doesn't change that
Ggs everyone, I'll make top 8 next GOML
I would try to campaign for this, but I'll already be at the most electrifying tournament in Canada, hosted yearly in the lovely port town of Halifax, NS, featuring some of your favorite players....
If we weren't all crazy,
we'd all go insane!
Here are some photos of me I like from this year...
Always been insecure with my self image but I feel more like "me" than ever before.
Hope those who need it find the same self confidence in 2024 that I did, love you all :]
went on a lil run yesterday and picked up a top 100 win or two, could've done better but happy that I stuck it through losers after a 150 ping loss to Luigi
PSA: I still don't have a hotel room for Collision Friday-Sunday, so if anyones interested in rooming and playing DM me 👀
@ssbmhax
I've verbally labbed this with friends already but Mangos Birthday Bash being in Canada is the equivalent of Mangos Superbowl Celebration being hosted in Dallas
upon deep reflection I feel bad putting my region down even though it wasn't meant to be taken seriously
to make up for it I will be offering a free coaching session to 1 random atlantic canadian that likes this tweet
LMAO
Played like ass this weekend and am more upset with that than happy that i somehow squeaked out a couple top player wins
Maybe i need to use headphones...gotta lab my own tourney meta.....
49th ggs competitors
I don't think I've ever hated melee as much as I do now
I know it'll pass but god do I wish I picked a game that punishes running away and spamming whiff punishes
I'd like to think I inspire the next generation of melee;
"If this weed-smoking anime-loving smooth-brained unhealthy manlet can cheese top players, give me a couple years and I can do it too!"
Or something like that
uhhhh just booked a flight to Collision last minute
Couldn't help myself, met too many homies last year and had too good of an experience to stay away
Anyone need a dubs partner? :3
Broke my phone so reach NSFrog to dm me he is my agent
Also broke my controller before bracket today and played the worst I have in years on a spare
Having to hold that with no phone has been the most miserable experience of my smash career
sorry for letting people down
@TSM_Leffen
Sometimes the black-and-white ruling is that when you pause, you lose the stock you currently have.
The grey area of "he would've already lost his stock" doesn't apply, true or not.
Wanting a TO ruling is fine here, and you're outta pocket for this
I might be a tad biased, but this is one of the coolest PR announcement ideas I've seen to date. Its impressive how artistic our region is, from the Top 8 graphics to this.
Love my scene....
I just registered for The Big House 11

Haven't practiced at all lately but I'm hoping to stream my last minute cramming this week and next...stay tuned👀
@BlueSSBM
Normal stoners may dream of smoking a fat blunt with Snoop, but I think I speak for all smash stoners when I say we dream of one day smoking a fat blunt with Juan Debiedma while he talks about bubble theory
Officer who pulls me over: what are you guys down for?
Me: we're hear for a gaming event, mangos birthday bash for smash
Officer: who do you main?
Me: uhhh Fox and Shiek
Officer: lame...I main meta knight. Have a good day boys
EVEN THE COPS THINK IM LAME
Yo porter airlines are the MF goats
- cheap flights
- free beer/snacks (only uses local, eco friendly options)
- empty seats you can move to if someones beside u
- on time flights that arrive 30 early
Just ONE of these things would make them better than 99% of other airlines 🐐
This is the kind of comment that's pretty funny in a discord with homies but in REALLY poor taste over Twitter.
CG and Creestab specifically is working SUPER hard to both fund players out of his own pocket and progress melee through tech like iso's. Gotta put respect on his name
esports is in such a good spot right now melee players have invented a way to pay out netplay tournaments in monopoly dollars that change in value based on how much the TO likes you
12. LilMitts won Eastside Rally, beating Inky and PC Geff (NS)
13. Excel Zero won First Attack, beating Jochi and SOLO (PR)
14. NOOT won Holding Down Bad, beating Omar and Teeko (NV)
15. Darrell won Berkeley Melee Mashfest, beating Megaman and Neferitou (NorCal)

This KoH gonna hit different (3 days left to sign up btw)
Got back home last night extremely motivated to improve
Then work told me i have to work an extra 20~ hours this week including Saturday
All motivation replaced with the hopelessness of life, dregging my way through a shit job to make enough to do what I really want
💀💀💀

@SSBM_Pout
This has been a wild ride, and I'm sure I speak for the whole team when I say that, in spite of its ups and downs, being a part of something greater than yourself has been a riveting experience for all of us.
I'd like to thank
@TomHolland1996
for his inspiring role in Spiderman-
Melee feels... different
I've never felt so good about the community around me; everyone's so...friendly
S/o to Dope, Holiday, Dawson, Wicked, Blazen, Crumbling, Logan, JFlex, Mekk, Faust, Jace, and everyone else I've had the pleasure of interacting with lately :) you all rock!
I gotta say I've both exclusively smoking blunts AND playing the best melee of my life lately so I think I'm going to ride this correlation all the way to dabs

Hot take?
ANY character can make top 100. You just need a great MU-dependant gameplan, attendance, and some lucky brackets.
Go to 5-6 majors, place well from bracket luck (maybe a top player drop out), get 3-4 good wins (top 100 players), you get top 100 too. Its that simple..
