Melee players have to cheat at their own game for people to take their game seriously. They disguise the bugs they exploit as “advanced tech” to trick people in to taking them seriously, but in reality they’re just glitching out a broken party game.
wasn’t there a tournament a few weeks ago where someone needed a controller with a specific defect that’s found in 1-in-50 gamecube controllers and is required to do a certain technique, didn’t find any such controllers in the tournament’s supplies and left because he couldn’t play competitively without it
Yep! The dude dropped out of the tournament because his controller wasn’t broken in a distinct way that gives him an unfair advantage.
In any other game that would be called “using a modded controller to cheat,” but fuck it! It’s melee! Melee is all about cheating!
and melee players get so salty whenever you point this out
