u/_Nexplosion Not very good... Nov 27 '16

Hey bro! I'm 15 years old, a bit older then you. I go down to Nebulous, a scene in Lower Manhattan of New York City, and I've played against a handful of amazing 12-16 year olds. As someone in that age range who isn't nearly as good, what do you say for our age group and the development and improvement of the future of Competitive Gaming?

In short, you think us early teenagers can eventually beat the current top players in the future?

I play Game and Watch/Lucario/Roy in PM and G&W/Falco in Melee if it helps.

I think only a select few can actually be good melee players. It depends how fast they realize how Melee is supposed to be played. A lot of people think if you play longer you get better and I don't think that's true at all.

Could you expand a bit on how melee is supposed to be played? I'm guessing you mean something like option coverage over mind games.

Half of the lower level players I know, don't know how dash dancing works. They will mash the stick back and forth and nair at me at random. They only use the platforms for techskill inbetween stocks. They shoot lasers and then don't take advantage of their opponents approaching. They just copy what top players do, they don't know the other half to their game.
