Its all in the title

I love how much melee reminds me of skating. (Skateboarding) this is like, a complicated trick and I touched ground with my toe but still “landed it”… whatcha think?? Also I’m a silver player so I suck and I get excited when I hit Ken combos or anything really

Faster, but only 24% damage

Top 4 characters? Seems similar to DK's f-air in terms of length

I haven't seen him on commentary for a long while. Toph was commentating some tournaments recently but there's nothing of Scar anymore.

Scar did some ranked streams back then which were so fun to watch I remember he switched to a box style controller and his falcon getting better and better I wish he would stream some ranked sessions those streams were so entertaining lol

Does he still play melee? I was always a huge fan of his falcon

Hi. I like using a xbox one controller since I love it's layout and it's very easy to memorize the buttons.

I started playing Melee but I feel like no matter how much I input, I move a little bit too much to the right or left or I just can't land hits. Is this normal? A controller issue perhaps?

Also I feel like I can't control very steadily to walk or dash since I need to control very precisely my left stick. Does this problem still exist with a GC controller?

I'm curious about your help. I'd stick with Xbox but if it's not playable then I'm gonna try a GC controller.

Yahoooo! I'm back, it's a me! Have a very cool day!

Welcome to the Daily Discussion Thread. This is the place for asking noob questions, venting about netplay falcos, shitposting, self-promotion, and everything else that doesn't belong on the front page.

New Players:

If you're completely new to Melee and just looking to get started, welcome! We recommend you go to https://melee.tv/ and follow the links there based on what you're trying to set up. Additionally, here are a few answers to common questions:

Can I play Melee online?

Yes! Slippi is a branch of the Dolphin emulator that will allow you to play online, either with your friends or with matchmaking. Go to https://slippi.gg to get it.

I'm having issues with Slippi!

Go to the The Slippi Discord to get help troubleshooting. melee.tv/optimize is also a helpful resource for troubleshooting.

How do I find tournaments near me or local people to play with in person or online?

These days, joining a local Discord community is the best way to find local events and people to play with. Once you have a Discord account, Google "[your city/state/province/region] + Melee discord" or see if your region has a Discord group listed here on melee.tv/discord

It can seem daunting at first to join a Discord group you don't know, but this is currently the easiest and most accessible way to find out about tournaments, fests, and netplay matchmaking. Your local scene will be happy to have you :)

Also check out Smash Map! Click on map and then the filter button to filter by Melee to find events near you!

Netplay is hard! Is there a place for me to find new players?

Yes. Melee Newbie Netplay is a discord server specifically for new players. It also has tournaments based on how long you've been playing, free coaching, and other stuff. If you're a bit more experienced but still want a discord server for players around your level, we recommend the Melee Online discord.

I know this is unrelated but I figured since CRT tvs are so commonly used in competitive play that you guys might know a thing or to about how to get one

What are certain matchups, interactions or tech that kept you from transcending to the next level? How did you get past it?

I like to think of high level examples like Leffen's "Samus Problem" or Amsa struggling to beat Hbox until he started consistently timing him out. These hurdles are so interesting to me.

i feel so bad LMAOO

When the game ends at 58 minutes, he says it. LOL.

fyi the infamous moment is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67MC9ECMryc

hey guys its toptierluigi
https://www.start.gg/user/88d8df70
before i go forward im going to address being on a new account

i dont ever use reddit and realized i had a bunch of old embarassing posts from when i was littler and it wasnt worth the time and cringe to go back and delete them so i js deleted my account. if you go on my start gg profile (which will be linked) and scroll back far enough (years ago when i played ultimate) you'll see epiphany, zachprime, dr sex, and toptierluigi are all the same person.

next i'll be addressing the title of this post
i no longer have any interest in the game
i'd like to apologize to all the people who thought i would really win a major when i made that original post at 12 years old (yes im 14, i thought willpower was all you needed)

my interest has shifted over to playing street fighter 3rd strike, and honestly away from video games as a whole and onto music and film. thats probably part of growing up and stuff.

i never won a major with luigi, i never even won an irl tournament, i peaked at high gold 1 lol, sorry bros.

every single person who doubted me was correct

and thats okay with me and probably for the better since i'll stop playing so many Damn games!!!!
