>mang0 and aMSa retires in the same weekis melee finally dead?
>>731021190god i hope so. i hate smash and nintendo fans so much. play a real fighting game like 3s
>>731021190GDQ'd
>no more melee, plays league instead
>>731021190Been dead for awhile, mang0 being cancelled finally buried the corpse. Nothin but trannies now
>>731021446>play a real fighting game like [kuso]ST is where it's at
>>731022008ST is fucking shit unc. Randomized damage and stun values, nonsensical glitches as meta as tech, vega.
It'll probably never truly die, people will still be playing it specifically.It might not have as many majors or livestreamed events, but it's as massive as CS where it'll always exist in some form, even if it doesn't exactly look like Melee.
>>731022462>It might not have as many majors or livestreamed events, butthis means the scene is dead, which is what im referring to in OP. it "existing" isnt what im talking about
>>731022557I've never heard of people using dead as "it's not directly in front of my face anytime I want it". Are zoomers redefining words now?
>>731022735if the scene dies, then its dead
>>731021190aMSa didn't retire.
>>731022925he said hes not going to any tournaments in 2026, the writing on the wall is there. he's going to retire. 2027 will come around, he'll likely enter like a few tournaments then actually retire.
>>731023004No, he said he's going to focus on his new job, but he still wants to go to Genesis or Supernova.
>>731021190Mang0's been retired for years, he just didn't want to admit it because of Armada. He's been sandbagging tourney after tourney.
>>731021190>aMSa retiringDon't lie to me
>>731023484His heart wasn't in it, but he said something like>I'm never playing Melee [competitively] again>If I do, you know I'm broke and League of Legends isn't paying the bills>I don't want to go to tournaments without a sponsor, it's too expensive and I'm too oldand then said some stuff about drinking again that didn't sound great. Dude sounds clinically depressed.
>>731024831>drinking because its fun = le depression
>>731021190been dead to me since they banned Hax$ and especially after they murdered them. only troons left and troon fuckers who are impossible to like so no one gives a fuck even if they're da best pwayer ever by playing the best character in the gayest way possible.
>>731024914No, like he literally SOUNDS depressed, you dumb cunt
>>731024951
>>731021190Pretty much>troons coping saying locals are doing greatNever let troons take over your hobby, they will kill it.
>>731025059holy based context
>>731024981>quitting smash and drinking at events it sounds like he just wants to live his life without worrying about petty smash players breathing down his neck anymore. "quitting drinking for a year" was just him trying to appease the smash community. hes not a depressed alcoholic and theres nothing wrong with drinking if you genuinely just enjoy doing it.
>>731021190Mang0 was the one that held Melee together and with him gone its not gonna last. There will still be tournaments but its well past its prime.
>>731024914He's an alcoholic asshole, and I mean a BAD one.
Do you think TOs are shitting themselves for letting him get banned and never coming back?
>>731025570Fuck no. Why would they?
>>731025448Well there's Zain. And Cody. And Moky.And, uh...
>>731025650Melee has no players worth watching now meaning less money for tournaments.
>>731025715They don't care.
>>731025570they are happy hes gone and would prefer melee to be 100% trans supporters. they arent smart enough to think ahead and question if this is actually good for the scene
>>731025715>melee>moneylmaojust kidding, money does actually matter to these people now. the melee community isn't like 80% high schoolers and college kids whose only financial concerns are how to physically get to a tournament anymore. melee is going full content creator / online tournament mode soon, i think. good on hbox for hosting box / locals, though i don't think it's going to be financially sustainable.
melee has 6 sponsored players left and some of them are meme sponsors
>>731021190>mang0has been gigawashed for like a decade, who cares>aMSaRIPhGOD won btw
>>731025448Melee has been dying for years, mango getting raped out of top 8 wasn't keeping melee together. The problem is the general shit state of esports overall plus the new top players are charisma voids.
>>731025190your health?
mang0 being fake remorseful about his alcohol addiction is really cringe
>>731026763Top 1% are going to be charisma voids just from the politically correct state of things as a side effect. You can't shit talk, have beef, etc. You're only allowed to go and play.
>>731026938he doesnt have an addiction to alcohol
Mang0 getting cancelled was the death sentence for the game. He was keeping the community together with his personality.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWzdR3P9XTASmash will be a party game with Deltarune characters like it was always meant to be and we'll get a final documentary in 20 years called "The Dark History of Melee"
>>731021190it's been dead and the only way for a proper rival is to rip out all of the current "leaders" by the roots and burn themit's diseased to its core and needs to be wiped clean
>>731025675>zainmanchild who lives in mommy and daddy's mansion and has always had every resource he ever needed and turned on Hax$ and made a tweet saying he's crazy before he killed himself>codyextemely hateable retarded freak who abuses his ADHD meds to the point he bled on stage, lied about fucking his mom which is the weirdest fucking shit that I can't even believe anyone was able to just move past, fucks troons, tried to force Hax$ to be in debt to him and go to college for no fucking reason to have a CHANCE at MAYBE being unbanned and change his whole life and trajectory after Hax$ already spent his life doing what he wanted to do>mokygay random twink guy who looks like a teenager and discount pc chrisshit's unwatchable
>melee is dying>ultimate is dying everywhere except Japan, and it's AIDS everywhere>smash 6 hasn't even been announced>multiversus is dead>riot canceled their platform fighter because multiversus diedthere has never been a better time for someone to make a platform fighter
>>731027345>rivals 2 is the only viable option>people still dont play it because its ass
>>731027345rivals of aether 2 just added steam workshop support, so there's at least a 1% chance things improve for party game niggas
>>731027418except rivals 2 is sick. it even has the plup / asumsaus seal of approval https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hmKIQS1-fI
>>731027062it's not normal drinking the amount of alcohol mang0 has despite him and society gaslighting you into thinking it is
>>731027579>not normal>society says it's normalisn't that what makes something normal? not saying he isn't an alcoholic though. he obviously is kek
>>731021190So what's the whole story with Vicwingly why was he jerking off at the gym?
>>731027532That's not going to matter for a while, at least until people get used to 3D workflow. People underestimate how much work it is, even if UE's tools are more robust than Game Maker's.
>>731027560rivals 2 is boring. all of the combos are stale and boring compared to melee. the neutral is boring. the characters are boring, they dont do anything interesting. the game is too easy and simple to be fun, and it allows players who would otherwise be trash to compete with me which i especially do not enjoy
>>731027685okay, but i disagree with your broad generalizations with no supporting evidence, nor do i have any interest in arguing in good faith with you myself. feel free to keep posting about bad players beating you.
>>731026763>"slippy is going to lead to a new age of melee">the new age of meleeof all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: nintendo wins again
>>731027828>supporting evidenceim telling you how i feel about the game. what evidence are you expecting?
>>731021190As long as Hbox wants to keep smash alive, both Melee and Ultimate will be able limp along as shadows of their former selves. There's a slim chance that Melee can still make a comeback if they unban Zion and players like Jmook and RapMonster up their skill level enough to win tourneys.
>>731027961Melee died years agoBased Brawl wins again
>>731027925>player DIs correctly and saves their jump>survives a spike at 50% by using all of their resources in a game where you play the wallThere's nothing wrong with thisAlso I've played this guy a lot, I like fighting him
>>731027560lol watched this a few days ago and lost interest when he got to rivals2, the characters are repellant
>>731024914He's an alcoholic. I know few because I'm finnish.No, it doesn't matter if "you drink for fun" if you NEED to drink. Add depression on top of that and it's a horrid combo. My friend's uncle killed himself like that.No, drinking alcohol sometimes for fun isn't bad. But Mang0 has been drinking so much and long(since he was like a teen or before) it's borderline part of him. My dad started smoking cigarettes when he was like 10, and you just don't quit it. Its part of your daily routine. Its part of your life.Like I want Mang0 to stop drinking because he clearly can't handle it and is just a coping mechanism. If you can't have fun without alcohol, then it isn't good for you.When it comes to depression, that is just professional help thing and proper support group. But can be other things like current political climate in USA and how rest of the world views the country. Hard to be proud of your country or patriotic in general when your country does some questionable shit. Don't wanna get too political, but I was ashamed for my country for the first time in my life when our right-wing "maga" party did the fucking "le Asian eyes" shit to try and distract from their current government fucking shit up(unemployment, throwing money to rich and foreign corpos like Google), aka larping USA idpol shit to try and create drama. Didn't work tho and I got to explain to my nippon friends that shit when the news spread to China, Korea, Japan trio.So seeing how USA is doing their stuff right now with bombing, ICE, and other shit, it must be a huge hit. Then you are banned for like six more months, and just play streamer slop rather than your fav game that you are the GOAT of.I feel bad for Mang0. Not parasocial shit, just makes me sad to see people go through rough stuff.
>>731027828NTA, but while I think Rivals is an amazing game, as a mid level player it's insufferable because of how strong flowchart play is for every single character. Mid level players are buffed way too hard in Rivals, which sucks because mid level tryhards are the most boring players to play against in the world and that's what you'll be fighting for 90% of your time online.
>>731021190funny how all the trannies thought melee would survive without mango and joined the dogpilling LMAO
>>731028228>There's nothing wrong with thisi know theres nothing wrong with it, it's just lame. that's what ive been trying to drive at here. it's just a lame, boring game
Meleefags, this is your mindset
>>731029034that was sick, too bad it didn't kill
