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?

You're not a competitive smash gamer.
