Lets fucking go Axe, so AZ Proud right now. Been waiting for this moment forever.
Not gonna lie, almost cried when he won. Hit me hard lol

Axe broke 4k subs already. 5k seems inevitable, who knows how far it will go.
I thought about making a thread but Era's hate boner for Melee just makes it a bad idea.

Yeah..... they'd just fuck up something this wholesome, wouldn't be surprised.
It feels like it was only 2-3 years ago when I was beating him at my house with Ganon. It's actually been like 10 years.
I cried like a MF when he won. He's worked so hard and he's come so far. Melee is literally the best sport of all time.
Like 6 months ago I was arguing that C.Falcon could win a Super Major, but I didn't think Pikachu could. Now Axe and Wizzy are proving us wrong.
Melee is just too damn hype.
They announced an Ultimate 2 Summit for October.
Not sure if they announced anything for Melee.
Axe finally did itttttttt!
I'm so so happy for him, he's been putting in the hard work and has been totally dedicated to improving. I've noticed his improved mindset since the start of the year and I'm hoping he can continue to put up amazing results! Melee in 2019 is so great, it's going to be really interesting to see the rankings by the end.

I dug the first Ultimate summit, but the best parts about it revolved around the Melee vs Smash 4 dynamic. Not sure I'm really interested in an actual Ultimate summit.
I'm just glad that for the most part all the Melee people that dipped into Ultimate are back. 😛

Same, I think it's safe to say they all gave Ultimate a pretty good shot. I think if Ultimate just had a few things different, Leffen would still be focused on it it.
Yeah, I probably won't watch it at all unless Zero is there. A lot of the top Ultimate players are meh to me. I do love Samsora though.
2019 Melee is dope. Not just the character and player firsts for Majors but all the tech going on behind the scenes with Slippi etc
Summit literally broadcast Melee HD

Holy shit lmao
looked like the game just didn't want to load animation data

Falco t-posing across the stage, lol.
I'm assuming it's a Dolphin/FM/Slippi glitch and not actually Melee.

Yeah, that was legit creepy and I've also never seen that before. But I don't play net play.
Haha, no thanks. Everything in Melee looks fluid and sick. This would be the opposite. haha

Wizzrobe got picked up by Team Envy. Apparently a decently large org. Pretty huge pickup for them even though he lost to Axe at Summit he's still on fire this year and in the conversation for #1 for the year. If he can keep beating Hbox and dodge Mango and Plup he'll be in really good shape.
Cant sleep and feeling really sick so I decided to make a thread that's mostly related to this game
kind of expected negativity but we'll see

Finally a ledge grab limit being enforced in tournament D:
60 grabs total seems like an alright test number
60 grabs total seems like an alright test number
While I haven't looked at how many ledge grabs typically occur in games in depth, I support LGL for the health of the competitive spirit of the game when it comes to time outs. Since 60 ledge grabs would discourage going for time outs in theory, I also think the time limit should be brought down to 7 minutes with LGL in place. I think this would make any time outs that do occur more exciting since it'll be harder to run down the clock without going over the LGL. In almost any other fighting game when a time out occurs it's really hype but in Smash it's often a dud.

I want to say I've seen an Albert in R1 pools at some tournaments. Don't know if that's the same Albert or not.
Still, that might be one of the biggest upsets ever.

Albert got 5th at the Arcadian this year, 3rd at the Dreamhack tournament nobody went to because of SNS (behind Hugs and Magi), and tied for 17th at the Mango losing to Sfat and Swedish (ouch). Apart from that I can't find many tournaments he's attended, I think like a lot of top 100-ish level players he can't travel much for Melee due to school/work and whatnot.
I'll say that he looked pretty damn legit against Lucky.
