It's weird how people always complain about the melee community being bad but the only time i see the game brought up it's just long whining screeds about how people who found a party game with some really interesting mechanics decided to come together and agree on some rules that let them play 1v1's in a competitive fashion.

Melee is a fun and great game both competitively and as a party game, my friends and I naturally played with no items and limited stages when we got into it because it's such an obvious and natural transition if you've ever actually spent a significant amount of time playing the game. We still sometimes dicked around with max pokeballs 2v2's or w/e too, the game has built in options so you can use them.

Boring ugly injustice is better than melee sorry.

So how long are people going to keep playing it if the same 5 people (and at this point like what the same 3 people really) always keep winning? I don't think this is sustainable unless the scrubs just basically want to fund the top players constantly.

nah

also i dunno how this stupid chun/morrigan/phoenix team works it's mostly chun that baffles me but i guess when you hit like a fly it's easy to fill up meter

IIRC when chun gets hit in the air she regains her DP kicks and/or calling the assist or something like that, but basically chun can easily stay away from the opponent while Morrigan assist fills meter.

It's not just chun, it's also that Morrigan/Phoenix is just a really good shell itself. fchamp tried to use this shell too but he sucked at morrigan so he couldn't use it very well. Chun and morrigan having their own TAC infinites helps a lot too (don't remember if phoenix had one).

Alioune was playing Magneto/Morrigan/Phoenix at some point which seemed good but France isn't exactly known for their Marvel scene so he never really got anything done in US tournements.

Good prevailed, all hail Trudeau.

Morrigan/Phoenix is a good shell, but I just keep thinking you could play better shells that are less of a hassle or even a better point to that shell than Chun. Dude did some work with his team and I can respect that, it's like Justin playing a vanilla Marvel 3 team to a EVO championship.

Why do you care? It'll keep goin as long as it still has interest. It's a fun game to watch for people who were into it as kids or w/e. I think hardware issues alone will kill it eventually but if it dies before that because people are tired of seeing armada win or cause people want to move onto smash 4 or whatever then that's just how it goes, but I don't see why people can't help but bitch constantly about the existence of the game and it's scene. If you don't like it don't watch it, no one cares.

It's interesting, because the team's basically built around match unfamiliarity despite the lineup. There are layers of mind games in there which are there to basically defy everyone's expectations at this point.

Chun's almost never seen, but she's one of the most mobile characters in the game and she's really difficult to keep out; weirdly, she's probably one of the better anti-Morrigan picks. At the same time, Ryan's Morrigan isn't built around the bullet hell Astral Vision setup. He'll certainly use it, but it's not all he does. It's not his neutral.

Finally, Ryan will actually play Phoenix, rather than sticking her in the back as an imminent threat the way everyone's been doing since vanilla. He'll bring her out to actually do some work, and nobody does that, so a lot of the time, the guy he's playing against effectively has no match knowledge. Plus, RyanLV's whole team is built around massive meter building, one way or another, so he can go ahead and spend meter if he has to without jeopardizing the potential for a Dark Phoenix comeback.

It's an anti-meta team. I hope he wins because it's a nice counterpoint to Viscant's ridiculously fine-tuned meta team that won the first EVO, even though both have a Dark Phoenix strat.

Yeah we watched some melee top 8 but it was boring watching armada put on a clinic so we stopped watching. It's boring. I'm glad you like watching the same people win over and over again.

Scrubs have been funding for years and its not stopping. A lot of people keep playing it because they find it fun and tournaments are fun and most people don't care if they're inevitably going to get bopped by better players. Sometimes you just want to try your best and see how far it goes
