Yesssss <3

I'm just going to post some super generic questions to get this started.

  • What has been, in your eyes, your greatest achievement so far in competitive Melee?
  • What do you think is more effective preparation for you: actually playing people or thinking about the game? Or are they about the same?
  • How much do you study/think about specific players as opposed to character matchups?
  • How are you feeling about APEX? More importantly, how are you feeling about the invitational? :P

Good seeing you on here btw :D

-My greatest achievement in competitive Melee was my victory at Pound 5. It was the culmination of a lot of hard work and I overcame many obstacles to finally pull out the win. I feel like my true best achievement is still on its way though!

-I tend to improve better thinking about the game, but I tend to get better vs people and prepare better for tournaments by playing people. Depends on what you're looking for haha.

-I don't consider matchups too much independently of players anymore. I used to do it all of the time when I was improving, but now I know most options and how players use them, so it's better for me to think about players abusing commonly-used options instead of options in a vacuum to me. So basically players haha.

-I feel great about Apex! I wish it were here already haha. And SHHHHHH DUDE WTF

Thank you very much! =D
