The competitive SSBM discussion thread

I didn't know I needed to be a wave-dashing Smashboarder to consider myself a competitive gamer.

Every year around Christmas time, one of my closest and oldest friends invites about a dozen people over to his house to just sit around and play video games. It's probably the nerdiest event of the year, but it's also one of my favorites because of the "Had to be there" moments and laughs that are pretty much ensured from the moment I receive the invitation to his home. It's awesome because everyone brings their systems, and we usually nominate two or three people to bring extra TVs so we can make sure everybody is playing something. At the end of it all, nearly every main system from every gen is in my friend's basement. Out of all of the games we play, we devote one night entirely to Melee. It's hilarious for a while, and then things start getting intense. It's always a good time. Any character. All items. Probably not Final Destination.

What point you were trying to make?

Why are you and Mark always trying to get your butt in threads where you clearly know you're going to fuel some sort of argument? Especially if not in Funhouse. If this was Funhouse, I would LOL and play back. This isn't a joke. If you want to start a thread about casual gaming, whether it be Smash or whatever else, go ahead and do so. Stop derailing the thread. You're not helping anything. Nor are you contributing.
