How to write Melee guides: A guide.

Hey ppl so you want to write a guide eh? well just follow my adcive and you'll be a master guider in no time.

First of all there's 2 types of formatting. either the whole guide should be a big chunk of text or it should be a list. You can  if you make it a list make sure that you don't make headers or use bullet points just write every thought that occurs to you on a separate line. if you "properly" divide your guide into sectoins it will encourage the reader to skip to the parts of the guide he wants to read and he'll miss the rest of your guide. Also don't proofread. a guide is essentially one big text message. Sentence fragments are really good and don't worry about a good flow. Don't erer use the basckpace key ;your time is too valueable for that. remember that grammar and spelling is for nerds! have you ever seen one of mango's posts fromwhen he becaume the best player in the world? dude couldn't spell to save his life. that's the key to being good. also he was good when he was like 15. that means the younger you are the better you are at the game. if you're above 16 or you've played the game for over 1 year you're probably too old ot be wirting guides. the melee community has so many knowledgeable people in it who've played the game for so long that the most valuable thing for them is to hear the opinions of someone who started the game a month ago, to let them see the game again through fresh eyes without bias. Make sure your observations aare as shallow as possible and . Yu should get all your information from match commentary and matches from 2006. remember ken is the king of smash and in his prime he would beat everyone nowadays. be sure to reference slang a lot in your guide so that people know you're "with it" . Instead of saying "fast fall to the ledge" say ramen noodles, call falco's forward air the flutterhush, etc. if people don't know what those words mean they should go back to brawl LOL. For matchups, remember that the best judge of how tough a matchup is is how well you do against your friends. Maybe the pros say peach vs ice climbers is really good for peach but there's this guy in my middle school who beats me with ice climbers all the tiem so i think peach really struggles with them. For combos, don't list boring, guaranteed combos that you've seen people execute. In fact, don't worry about "true" combos at all. The best combos are strings of strong attacks, like "fsmash to missed tech punish fsmash".

End with a one-sentence conclusoin
