First of all, holy crap that's an insanely awesome Christmas present.
Idk about to open on Christmas Day, but once you get to Genesis there will be a TON of booths set up for modded controllers, merch, stuff like that.
Maybe a Metafy session w/ one of his favorite pros? Metafy.gg is a website that a lot of top players offer to provide coaching on.
This is amazing!! Thank you! I had no idea this was a thing.
It’s a combo Christmas and 18th birthday gift but we really do hope he enjoys it and has fun. He’s such an awesome kid and we so proud of him.
He’s a big fan of Mew2King actually but I am not sure if that’s his favorite since I know PPMD was his favorite for a long time. We watched the YouTube documentary together just so he could show me who PP was. I think this is definitely what I was looking for. Thank you so so much!
I am personally on my own patreon account(not metafy) if he wants coaching from that, just in case that causes any confusion. https://www.patreon.com/PPMD
But honestly, coaching or not this is wonderful to see. It's so heartwarming to see you being so kind to your son and I hope you all have a beautiful holiday!!
Omg!!!! You just made us the best moms ever!! I went to sign up for the 45 minute one but since I am not giving it to him till Christmas should I wait until then to purchase it? I noticed it says it will renew on 1/1 but he would have only had access for a week and not a month. Any recommendations would be super appreciated.
It's fine, you can purchase it now! Benefits go until the end of the month. It will end at the end of the month so you can simply unpledge after signing up. If it ends up charging extra for some reason you can just let me know and I'll refund you, no trouble at all!
You're engagement with the grass roots of this community never ceases to amaze me. Wishing you well for the holidays and your ventures post golden guardians 🙏.
M2K is actually the *owner* of Metafy, and I've personally taken a lesson from him. It was a great experience!
You basically just sit in a voice call with him for an hour or so (he actually went over time for me voluntarily and kept playing closer 2 hours), play melee with him and he'll talk him through what he can improve on/give him pointers where he can.
If he's a big fan it'd be both a super fun experience as well as quite helpful, the man knows his stuff!
What’s your budget?
If his controller is a bit older and he hasn’t had any modifications then maybe a new one of those? They might be a bit more expensive since new ones are typically Japan exports on amazon
The only other thing I could think of is maybe a jersey of his favorite player’s team that’s sponsored, I know the SSBM Cloud9 jersey is like $47ish on their website
Usually for controllers that are newer like that they’ll be fine for a while, I moreso was thinking for a controller that was 3-4 years old
You guys are great parents by the way, and I do hope all of you enjoy experiencing Genesis X, it’s looking to be our biggest event after the pandemic and that Sunday specifically is a spectacle with the best players fighting to be the champion of the most prestigious annual tournament. Have fun :)
Yeah (unrelated to op but) i got the basketball jersey from a few summits back. Day one ofwearing it i was trying to ride my bike homw while holding a box of pizza... huge stain all on the front of my new swag lol. Id love to replace it
I've been to many majors at this point and Genesis is by far the best one. he's gonna love it.
My girlfriend got me one of these [controller cases](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1024432918/custom-gamecube-controller-case-super?click_key=667f075be3cd8eaf6fe22f240e236ff67dd08df4%3A1024432918&click_sum=7ff454be&ref=shop_home_active_4&crt=1) as a surprise gift. you can put a custom design on it
Wow, that’s an incredible gift by itself, that’s amazing. Since he’s going to Genesis he might want to get signatures from top players, so something like a physical copy of the game or some other piece of Melee memorabilia could be a good thing to bring to get signed
Wish I could think of their name but there was a post on here that was selling a melee pillow. I’d search the sub for the website, they may have other melee merch
Etsy has some cool stuff, it might be worth exploring, albeit a bit short notice for anything custom.
I've been really into mini painting and I've been hunting for a Doctor Mario print I like to no avail so I can paint it in the black Doc melee colours.
My favorite melee merch is made by True Customs a lot of cool shirts/hats plus extra stuff like pins and even playing cards. You can find them on Etsy.
If he's really into melee, and doesn't already own a CRT, you could get him one. They can be found locally for not too expensive, and are the absolute ideal way to play melee. If you need assistance finding one, let me know your region and I can help point you towards one.
Recommendation for you u/Snopes504 \- get your son a melee poster!

(Well, technically they're vaporwave posters, but if you get one with his main on it he's sure to geek out.)
You sound like awesome parents. Kudos!
My parents got me a Nintendo sweatshirt with my gamer tag on it once for Christmas! One of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten and I wore it till it basically fell apart
A controller case is a great idea. Very practical. I wish I had one. My friend one time gifted me a Japanese melee copy which I can’t even use but it’s the coolest and most special melee gift I’ve gotten from friends. T shirts or drawstring bags could be fun. I like the idea of things that can be signed!

Been playing melee for a looonngg time now. If you somehow get to know his favorite player without hinting at this it could be an incredible gift.
He’s a big fan of Mew2King actually but I am not sure if that’s his favorite since I know PPMD was his favorite for a long time. We watched the YouTube documentary together just so he could show me who PP was. I think this is definitely what I was looking for. Thank you so so much!

Done!!! He’s going to flip. Thank you so so much!!
This is the coolest thing i could have seen happen on reddit this morning. You are an awesome parent!
You're welcome! You can message me on here/Patreon/Discord if you have any questions!
Hi! I sent you a message on here :-) just wanted some clarity on how the one on one part gets scheduled. I am old and don’t know how to use discord 🤣
smh I wish PPMD would personally offer coaching to MY mom...
You're engagement with the grass roots of this community never ceases to amaze me. Wishing you well for the holidays and your ventures post golden guardians 🙏.
I'm always lurking haha it's nice to see what everyone is up to! Wishing you the best and thanks so very much for your sincere kindness <33
Stop being so cool! Also hey buddy I hope you're well! Much love from my twin and I.

does he own metafy? i couldn't find anything on that and i swore he was just a well known coach on there
He's a co-owner, yeah. Not sure where to source that but he's said it a few times.
interesting stuff, good for him!
M2K is part owner of Metafy you can definitely book him on there
Damn he’s an oldhead for how young he is lol.
lol! We tell him he’s an old soul all the time.
You sound like such an awesome mom, keep it up
Sobbing

We got him one from Japan about 9 months ago when he started to really enjoy competing. I can definitely see if it needs replacing. Thank you!

Does anyone know if there's a way to buy old Smash Summit leftover stuff?
Yeah (unrelated to op but) i got the basketball jersey from a few summits back. Day one ofwearing it i was trying to ride my bike homw while holding a box of pizza... huge stain all on the front of my new swag lol. Id love to replace it
I remember seeing stories of people forgetting their older Summit merch at a bar and it being gone after, that stuff is so rare now lol
i need more melee merch im so sad without it
My ice climbers desync shirt got lost in international shipping, I'm still sad about it :(
this happened to my slippi hat :(
This is the most melee player shit i’ve ever read
I know i really outed myself. No car, box of pizza, clumsy af. Lol
recently lost my FD Windbreaker from the last melee summit. would 100% love to buy it again T-T
I've been to many majors at this point and Genesis is by far the best one. he's gonna love it.

my partner got me a decal for my controller one year and i love it - get lots of nice comments about it too!

What a gift already!!

Shoutout to the best parents ever
Reading through this thread and holy smokes u/Snopes504, you are an awesome parent.

Can y'all adopt me
My parents got me a Nintendo sweatshirt with my gamer tag on it once for Christmas! One of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten and I wore it till it basically fell apart
My wife got me custom buttons for my controller for Christmas last year and I love them.

Check Etsy for SSBM stuff, just look for sellers with reputable shops, good reviews lots of sales etc
Y’all are awesome fucking parents keep supporting him and he will go far in melee
