Still wild I got 13th at Frame 16, a 106 entrant tournament. Probably my best performance to date, and definitely my best OOR performance. Little bit of bracket luck but here's the run:
Pools: nickelbackair, lost to zach,azul, Young Love, Matt.
Top24: Legion, lost to MOOSE for 13th

I'm working with Aklo and foxygrandpa to best honor Hax on Slippi.
Hax loved Melee and likely played more Slippi than anyone. It then feels apt to give him a permanent custom ranked profile page.
While we work on that though, please use this new free chat message while playing online.

Really starting to see the progression with pikachu. Things are starting to click together after all the practice, the only issue is now I have to actually dedicate time to learning specific matchups LOL

Melee pika is progressing, has been a lot harder than i thought to adjust but i'm pretty sure i'm actually doing it as fast as I thought I would, just feels slower because of how long its taking me to nail down movement and 3-frame jumpsquat stuff.
