Whoa there, I can totally “defend” in track and field, just kick my opponent in the shins a few times and tackle him before he crosses the finish line. Boom! Easy win.

The “smack-talking” Hbox did was barely even insulting, and Reggie gave as good as he got. I’m certain Nintendo knew what they were doing inviting him.

Yes? Melee players tend to be very outspoken about their game, as do, you know, most other FGC competitors of basically any game.

Four of the competitors invited were high-level Melee players.

I’m averaging a triple double, if you count me eating three McDoubles.

Speedruns may not be your style then. That’s ok! It’s not for everyone.

I don’t think Brigitte is in this stage, I think she comes in stage 4.

Those aren’t rotated - they’re set up for fightsticks. Not necessarily the best way, but eh.

A friend and I duo’ed and won (it was his second game ever, my 15th) and neither of us built any offensive structures - we built to get places for loot and that was it. So it’s totally possible to win! Just gotta out-aim and out-think other people. A lot of top 10s seem to feel a compulsive need to build, so while…

The event is growing so much that AGDQ 2018 experienced a few problems because of the massive amount of people at the hotel. In plain terms, the hotel just wasn’t big enough for how large the event is getting. It’s moving to somewhere in the nearby area, though, so it’s not going far.
