Starting today, I will be discontinuing and shutting down my Metafy page. Moving forward however, I will still be offering coaching through Twitter and Discord DMs!! I will also be lowering my pricing to $20/hour. If anyone has any questions feel free to reach out 🙂

Starting next month, Metafy coaches will have to pay $29 per month to stay on the site. Metafy will no longer take a % cut from coaches' earnings. Lots of Melee coaches only do a few lessons here and there, so this is a net loss for those who don't do 10+ sessions per month.

Well, I finally did it. This is probably the biggest tourney I've ever won beating Ginger, and Hbox twice with 122 entrants. Very proud of my progress. I hope I can take this momentum into SCL 2 💯 GGs as always to everyone!

Ever since I got a Lossless Adapter for netplay, I take very little time switching between CRT/Netplay, and my inputs feel waayyy cleaner online. Honestly its been such a game changer and made me so motivated to grind Melee again. I really can't recommend it enough for people

@iBDWSSBM The reason I know he's gonna be a top player is cause he's got that stone cold killer energy, no mercy. Bro would not let the worst player on the setup off Bowser after like 30 turns in a drunk around the world afterparty 💀💀 @negativeSSBM can attest
