Was surfing the net and this unknown person wrote me, what do i do?

Does anyone know how I managed to grab the ledge in this clip?

I just did this turn-around tech completely by accident and I'm struggling to recreate it. I don't think it's a PC drop, since you're supposed to be in walking animation to perform it. But I have no idea what else it could be.

Any help would be appreciated!

You know how a common Gecko Code used by players is the option to have your character flash Red when you fail to do an L-Cancel. Would it be possible to instead have a Gecko Code that caused your character to enter a dizzy state every time you fail similar to a shield break? I just think it would be a great training tool to improve L-Cancel rates. I would use it while fighting a CPU as a way to practice.

This makes me so happy I have been wanting this for a really long time

There are some things you just don't really understand until you turn on hitbox mode and comb the frames. This was one of those times where I really had to look again at how tf that hit, let alone KO'd. Turns out it was *just* enough % to KO even if they were not bamboozled enough to DI. Replay clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShNgjaVmX3E

tl;dr Peach Usmash sweetspot is neat

First rivals 2 now Tekken 8

Looking for clip of fox comboing peach and she just downsmashes and it matches the exact percent, i think it was armada vs ice or leffen

Just wondering as someone who got into ult but by the time of big house 9 I realized I enjoyed watching melee way more. I started playing melee competitively the day slippi came out, never looked back at ult for obvious reasons, are there any top 100 players now who started from then or afterwards? I heard Kuro the ganon player has been playing for only like 2 years or something like that which blows my mind cuz I was still ass after 2 years I feel like I’m just starting to get pretty solid now as a fox player.

Zain and Cody were both top 5 players 6 years into their career which is insane to me because I can’t think of hardly any amazing players now who have been playing that short of a time. Like I know inngenn from Japan was pretty good only a year into playing…and I am not really aware of how long the newer faces in top 64s have been playing for.

Now that I think about it OG kid and Dial M are top 100 and probably slippi kids because they’re so young. But any other examples? Any non puff top tiers that are newish to the game in that ballpark? Just curious

Edit:No one has brought up anyone who plays a top tier other than OG Kid. Maybe it just takes longer these days to get to that level with the characters people have the most experience against 🤷‍♀️ the level of play did rise drastically over Covid. Maybe I’m just coping and we all suck

I think golf has a similar longevity to what melee has that spans hundreds of years(25 years is an eternity in video game years).

That said, obviously my bias’s lie here as well, but I tried to be as objective as possible in terms of what the respective communities think.

Was fun to make. Thank you u/IrredeemableGottwald for the idea

I went on like a 3 month break of Melee because I've been waiting to get supplies so I can lube up my dry sticks, triggers and see if my Z button needs a reflow or replaced and instead just decided to play today after realizing I wasn't as Melee fatigued and then went on Slippi to mess around and kinda went around on the cast since that's always fun.

Tell me why on the fourth match of unranked I did a accidental SD on my final stock and I start getting spam lol'd by a Silver 2 Falcon. There wasn't even any bad blood, no taunts, no nothing and it was a close game. Is this not a issue within the community that more people talk about how mad Melee makes them? It feels like it's 1/4 people are rage demons. Where could these people be coming from? Are they born like this? Are they created in Slippi?

In the video, Moky says that Kola is on path to place top 40 if not even top 30 on the end year ranking. Which I think shows a strong trajectory in his improvement.

An interesting unprompted moment at 1:50. https://youtu.be/pfSKCTZNaPw?t=110

"He's getting got by notch type shi" - Moky "I should get notches" - Kola

Considering Kola is (relatively) newer to the pro-scene, and performing so well without notches. Do you think he should continue playing that way, or get them to reduce the possible disadvantage?

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.

How can I set up Unclepunch's Training Mode?

At the time of posting, the latest major release is here. Download the file, then extract everything in the folder and follow the instructions in the README file.

• Current DDT Dynamic Link — Previous DDTs

Rewatching some of the wee smash documentary and I can’t believe all the og players were born in like 84 85 the difference being born 10 years earlier than me
Ken Isiah pcChris m2k chudat chillen kdj

Armada/MJ:

• Lost early on to a fellow all-timer (Mango/Bird)
• Hit the greatest peak of all time
• Retired at the top, in his prime
• Came back out of retirement and rose back to the top
• Dominated the competition to a historic degree, both are known for being the main reason other all-time players never got a big win during their reign.

Hbox/LBJ:

• Incredible rise
• Early fumbles (Pound 4/2011 followed by GOAT-level success)
• Might have been the undisputed GOAT were it not for another all-timer (Mango/Curry)
• First won ugly (campy puff/the decision -> miami), eventually on his own terms (peak hbox/2016 cavs)
• Long career of sustained excellence
• Corny

Mango/Kobe:

• Outrageous period of early dominance (1st peak/First threepeat)
• Massive fan favorite
• Inspired a generation
• Rabid fan base
• Periods of worse performance (buster days/injuries)
• Considered the GOAT by fans, but often disputed by old timers & ball knowers
• Well known for signature mindset (buster/mamba)

Ken/Bill Russell:

• Utter domination of the early days of the game
• Often discounted by modern players & casuals (historical tech skill disparity/played vs plumbers)
• Civil rights icon (pro gamer on survivor/actual civil rights hero)

Zain/Tatum:

• On track for a historic career
• Famously handsome
• Scandal-free despite years in the limelight
• Great at every part of the game
• Uniquely versatile (GM all characters/defends 1-5)
• Controversial counterparts (Cody/Jaylen Brown)
• Sustained excellence/consistency

RapM/Wemby:

• Historic prospect
• Took down the MVP (Zain/SGA)
• Unprecedented (Plays Luigi/Is Victor Wembanyama)
• Has yet to win (No major wins/Lost to NYK)
• GOAT potential if they turn out to be everything they look like they might be

I'd say Zain/Tatum is probably the weakest comparison, but I couldn't quite think of anyone else that fit him:

• SGA developed slowly & Zain lacks a good match for the foul merchant discourse.
• Zain lacked good equivalents for Jokic's horses, his attitude, the Serbian factor, and the draft steal angle.
• Giannis has too many story elements Zain doesn't quite match, and Zain isn't quite freaky enough.

Open to suggestions and revisions.

ETA: Jesus Christ, who sends death threats over mango/kobe comparisons???

I know about the unclepunch trick to play the “armada shine” mini event and you can pick any character. But that’s only firefoxes…

Suggestions?

I'm a casual player who has been play more recently
One thing that I can't for the life of me deal with, are camping Marth players who only grab or F-Smash (and d-tilt at ledge)
Every time I approach he wave dashes back and I get hit in the face
This play-style has ruined the game for me a bit, because I face these players a lot
How can I deal with these people? I've tried shielding the F-smash and then attacking during lag but it's hard to punish it with Doc. Mario (at most I get a nair)
Please help me so I can enjoy melee again
Thx
