Ok.

I'm saying I remember the way you played, and the way you talked about the game in the thread. So yes, you are a casual player by definition, and there is nothing wrong with that.

That's fine, the whole not very memorable thing seems to be a common jab lately, but I was at the top of the ladder for a good amount of time and set up the first tournament for FFR which I also won.

One of those guys recently took out Mew2King, but I think Mango, Wobbles and HBox will have something to say about these guys coming in.

KoreanDJ and Ken?

When was the last time that either of them did well at melee?
Kind of a joke lineup, neither of them have been serious contenders in many years.

On one hand this looks like the kind of headline that could be on ESEX but I'm actually really happy it isn't a joke.
I love the Melee community... good shit.

KDJ took m2k to game 5 at a tourney a few weeks ago

ken is like 4th/5th in norcal i think but he could be really fucking good if he starts playing a lot again

[Wafles]

Taking m2k to a game 5 doesn't mean shit. Tournament placings do. Neither of those players have placed very high at a (major) tourney in the last several years.

edit: don't take this the wrong way, this is still a pretty big deal for melee, but they could have chosen much better players...

KDJ placed 17th at Apex 2014. Ken didn't go to Apex however, but he did place 9th at SCR and has been beating ranked players recently such as Fly Amanita and MacD.

I'd consider myself a pretty decent brawl player, but I never got into the melee scene. I'm honestly just waiting for SSBU and hoping to get into the competitive scene from there. I'd never consider myself an S level player, but I'm sure I would walk all over B's

[korny]

Yeah I was looking for KDJ's apex standing because I was pretty sure he did fairly well for not playing very actively. KDJ's potential to be great again is pretty much unrivaled by most IMO. I could have swore Ken played at apex though even though he didn't do too great at all which was to be expected given his absence from competitive play for so long.
