General Chat / Super Smash Bros. Melee needs your help!

« on: January 30, 2013, 04:09:06 AM »

Hello! I'm a competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee player. Melee has quite an active competitive scene although not everyone knows about it. My dream as a part of the Melee community is to see the scene grow and see Super Smash Bros. Melee getting exposure as the deep, technical, challenging and competitive fighter it is.


There was a time when Melee was featured in large tournaments like Major League Gaming (MLG) and Evolution Championship Series (EVO). These events were special because the pot prizes and the publicity they were able to provide. Unfortunately as Super Smash Bros. Melee is an old game it hasn't been featured in large tournaments like these in years. There are a lot of people in the community whose's dearest wish would be the see the game they love featured again in these events.


Now Super Smash Bros. Melee has a realistic chance of being featured at Evolution Championship Series tournament (EVO for short) this year.
The 8th game to be featured at EVO will be decided based on which game raises the most money to the breast cancer research. Right now Melee is having a close battle with the Skullgirls community, both games having raised over 25k in the process.
