Super Smash Brothers: Melee, Official discussion thread. Who plays? Options

[NoSex]

Aye.

I was wondering who else plays Super Smash Brothers: Melee on cB. So, who plays?

Do you play competive Melee?
Are you in the tournament circuit?
Who are your primary and secondary characters?
Anyone in here a pro?

I have been playing for some time, but I just recently got very interested in advanced techniques, play, and competive Melee.

My main characters are:
Peach.
Marth.
Fox.
Ness.
Ice Climbers.

This is probably one of my favorite games of all time. Absolute love for this game.

Just thought Id post this. One of my friends wrote a post on our board about his adventure in SSBM.

Ok now to begin this is a true story. I'm not sure if this is where it belongs since there is probably a space for Life and Events somewhere...but it reminded me of The Day Physics Ruined Matt's Life which is here so I'm putting this here also...

Ok, imagine if you will....college....are you doing it? I said imagine! Ok good....

Now when we are in our rooms we leave the doors open. Why? Because we're social! Everyone does it so just shut your mouth. Now I dont spend too much time in my room but I notice whenever I go by there is a certain door that is ALWAYS open and these two steriotypical nerdy kids are always inside playing video games. One is always on the computer for WoW, and the other is on his Gamecube wasting away the days with...none other than...Super Smash Brothers Melee!

Now all of us have dry-erase boards on the doors so we can leave messages for each other. So a few days into school they write up on their board "SSBM Wins: Loses: " I thought it was well suited for the geeky type but after a few days I noticed they had a good 20 tallies under wins and none under loses. This is when I began to think...

Ok so a few days later some kid comes into my room asking to use my stapler. It's a reasonable request because sometimes when you pack all of your stuff for college you forget about stupid things like that. But that's when I got my idea....

So I walk over to the room of the two kids with my bag in my hand and ask to use a stapler. The kid on the computer reaches into his desk and pulls it out. I stand watching the other kid playing Smash Bros like I knew he would and wait for my chance. When his fight against the computer ends it goes back to the Character Select Screen and I go for it...

"Is that Fox McCloud over there?" I ask, sounding like an idiot I'm sure. He moves over to Fox and starts a fight against a computer controlled Falco. I told him all about how I was awesome and Star Fox and how I could beat him at that game easilly. Then I start asking him how to do "that flame move" or "shoot the laser thing" ect...ect...

By the time the fight is over he is convinced I'm such a moron he asks if I want to play a game. His roommate leans over and say "Add another tally to the board?" I wanted to laugh but I kept a straight face and pretended I had no idea what he meant.

"Here," he said, handing me the controller. "You can even set it up just the way you want it." I almost cried in joy but I kept a straight face. I made sure to take my time so it looked like I didn't know what I was doing. I turned damage on 200% and turned off all items. Then I picked Final Destination. This was to make sure 'luck' had nothing to do with our fight.

When the battle began I started to worry. This kid spends ALL day EVERY day playing and I haven't done it in awhile...but I decide to give it my best. He is Cpt. Falcon (the character Mike's brother Matt always uses) so I smile to myself. His first charge I time my relfector perfectly and send him flying near the edge of the screen, but he manages to recover. His roommate laughs a bit and he gets really mad.

His second charge I roll out of the way and grab him from behind. Quickly I throw him to the ground, activate my reflector again, and send him sailing off into the background. Game...set...match.

After that I placed the controller on the ground, walked over to the board, added the first tally under losses, and walked out of the room without saying a damn thing.

When I got back to my room I laughed so hard I had tears running down my face. Today I checked and they have 43 wins and 1 loss.
