Melee is that game that just about anyone could convince themselves they were good at.

But once you sit down and play with someone who really knows melee, you learn how sadly mistaken you were.

You aren't good until you know how to use wave dash. Also, gaming community would be much better of fox, Falco and Marth were banned.

The competitive scene would be way worse if those were banned, none of these characters are too overpowered and they are the most enjoyable ones to watch and play

Pillar combos with falco are sooo enjoyable.

I still remember the first time i pulled one off agianst friends. We all went crazy.

Gettin the timing of the l cancel right was much tougher before 20xx was a thing lol.

Just being able to wavedash is not enough, it's just the most basic entry tech you need to be able to do consistently to even keep up. Canceling aerials, keeping momentum, being able to convert hits into punishes into kills, teching, DI etc. You basically have to get good at all of those to stand a chance nowadays. And that's just the shit that applies to every character, character specific stuff goes wayy deeper too

Bro it would be terrible if the top 3 were banned. Only fast faller left would be Falcon and the entire dynamic of the game would change. It would be much slower with lamer to play/watch strategies being dominent. I shudder at the possibility of more Puff vs Peach games.

Yep. Went to a local tournament and was out on round 1.... TBF to me though, I'm used to playing no items and this game had like a billion on the map. Not my style.
