Hey! I'm happy that I found this sub...lemmy? I usually play duos as Isabelle and jigglypuff (love my girl) with the person I live with. I've always wondered if anyone ever recognizes our combo! Looking forward to making a fun community with you all!
While I remember playing Melee on a friends GameCube back in the day, it's only the last year or two that I've really gotten into the game, since I got Ultimate. About six months ago I started going to my locals, and I'm still going 0-2 every time (there are some word-class players here, FML). That said I've been putting some work in and I've definitely improved. I main everyone's favourite interstellar bounty hunter, Samus Aran.
Tournaments can be demoralizing when you end up playing against some cracked players. I have realized that I am more of a friends only smash player, although part of me is still drawn to tournaments.
