Here's the thing, I've seen comments where people say that they are practically pro at this game, and then they follow up by saying the character that they main with and I think to myself: 'Almost nobody does well with that character at all...' So maybe it's possible to be a legend with Bowser, or Mewtwo, or Pichu, but at the pro level I sincerely doubt most people can pull that off. So basically, I'm wondering how many of you know how far melee can actually be taken? Have you ever watched M2K, Armada, Mango, Hax, etc. (just to name some of the pros) play the game? Do you know the advanced techniques? What some people can do with this game is amazing!
The point of this isn't to talk people down, I'm just curious how many people know about the real competitive side of smash. If you really like the game, but you don't know about the really high level of play, you're missing out.
Also, I'll straight up admit that I'm not a good competitive player. On a casual level I'm good, but I have a lot of refining to do.

I thought I was good until I went to this bar in Cleveland that hosts professional tourneys. I was able to get in this tournament only because a guy didn't show and I knew the owner of the bar. I typically use falco for serious games. I went 1-2 at this thing. The fact that I won against was amazing. It was the tensest moment of my life. I got my ass kicked by this legend who uses Ganondorf...
