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.

I don't have the right equipment, but I might be able to some time.

For me, I started out as pikachu. Pika was my main character back on the 64, but her abilities were down played in the sequel. So, I dropped her once I started to play Melee more. I picked up Marth. I played Marth all the time. Got boring. So, I wanted to play someone new.

At this point, I had never seen anyone really play Peach. Ever. So, I wanted to pick her up. I found her to be alot of fun. Little did I know that at about the same time, Peach was being found to be a very viable option in high skill level tournament play. Although her style of fighting is much unlike any other character in advanced play, thanks to her floating abilities, she proved to be a very popular choice among advanced players.

She is currently one of the more popular characters among serious Melee tournament goers.

My Peach is trash compared to the pros. However, when I play 1 on 1 with a friend, Peach is the way to go. Her down smash is amazingly helpful. Spam it and you'll get called cheap. Either way, it is often held as one of the best smashes in the game. With huge priority, great speed, and amazing damage (Up to 60+ in one attack) I believe Peach's down smash is the best move in the game.

However, her down smash is just the beginning. Combine her floating abilities, her float cancel, her sold airials, her fantastic dash, and her projectile turnips, she is a great character. Hard to master, but well worth the time.

Try her out sometime.
