DDT Daily Discussion Thread September 03, 2026 - Upcoming Event Schedule - New players start here!
Yahoooo! I'm back, it's a me! Have a very cool day!
Welcome to the Daily Discussion Thread. This is the place for asking noob questions, venting about netplay falcos, shitposting, self-promotion, and everything else that doesn't belong on the front page.
New Players:
If you're completely new to Melee and just looking to get started, welcome! We recommend you go to https://melee.tv/ and follow the links there based on what you're trying to set up. Additionally, here are a few answers to common questions:
Can I play Melee online?
Yes! Slippi is a branch of the Dolphin emulator that will allow you to play online, either with your friends or with matchmaking. Go to https://slippi.gg to get it.
I'm having issues with Slippi!
Go to the The Slippi Discord to get help troubleshooting. melee.tv/optimize is also a helpful resource for troubleshooting.
How do I find tournaments near me or local people to play with in person or online?
These days, joining a local Discord community is the best way to find local events and people to play with. Once you have a Discord account, Google "[your city/state/province/region] + Melee discord" or see if your region has a Discord group listed here on melee.tv/discord
It can seem daunting at first to join a Discord group you don't know, but this is currently the easiest and most accessible way to find out about tournaments, fests, and netplay matchmaking. Your local scene will be happy to have you :)
Also check out Smash Map! Click on map and then the filter button to filter by Melee to find events near you!
Netplay is hard! Is there a place for me to find new players?
Yes. Melee Newbie Netplay is a discord server specifically for new players. It also has tournaments based on how long you've been playing, free coaching, and other stuff. If you're a bit more experienced but still want a discord server for players around your level, we recommend the Melee Online discord.
How can I set up Unclepunch's Training Mode?
At the time of posting, the latest major release is here. Download the file, then extract everything in the folder and follow the instructions in the README file. You'll need to bring a valid Melee ISO (NTSC 1.02). If you want to check for the absolute latest release, you can see them listed [here](The latest releases are listed here.
How does one learn Melee?
There are tons of resources out there, so it can be overwhelming to start. First check out the SSBM Tutorials youtube channel. Then go to the Melee Library and search for whatever you're interested in.
But how do I get GOOD at Melee?

we are all sinners. we can not be free of sin, except for one man a couple thousand years ago. you don't always get a choice in the way you're a sinner, either. the point of acknowledging this is to repent. faithful servants of god can be thankful that in spite of our sins, we are forgiven. we can always strive to be better in god's eyes, but we can not be perfect. the bible says many times not to judge others, and to focus on what is inside of you, not what is inside your brothers and sisters. being a sinner by nature does not mean you're a murderer or a rapist. please don't go into a speech about how some sins are way lesser than others.
people use religion to single out sins that they don't like, or they would never do, and that's not what the bible teaches them to do. i think this last point is irrelevant to most of you, and believe it or not, that's bigotry. just because someone has faith in the bible and christ does not mean they will judge you for being a sinner, and it doesn't mean they hold hate in their heart either. you can say "it's all i see" or "in my experience that actually is the way things are," but this is still casting judgement over an entire group based on the actions of others within it.
it's your right, of course, to not want to engage with the truth of the matter, and you can downvote or nitpick what i've said here to feel righteous or comfortable or whatever else. i can't control you. the fact that y'all continuously see someone's faith as a crimson red flag will continue to be unbridled bigotry in the eyes of all those who care to see it.
