Shephard "Fiction" Lima is a one of a kind player. Actually, there are other players like him, but none of them can claim ever reaching top 10 in the world.
Recently, Fiction has picked up two additional main characters in Falco and Sheik. Joining his already established Fox, he's looking to reinvent his approach to the game by just "playing what feels right". In tournament. For money.
While becoming a top player, Fiction has also pursued game development and will be soon releasing his game in early access. JD and Fiction talk through the mindset of someone at his level, what it means to improve and take the games seriously, juggling different hobbies and, yes, his approach to Twitter.
Kinetic: Break All Limits is on Steam Early Access on January 5th https://store.steampowered.com/app/1987710/Kinetic_Break_All_Limits/

There's a unique challenge in becoming a top player, and even more so when it happens overnight. After a string of 2nd places in 2022, including Genesis 8, Jake "Jmook" DiRado established himself as a serious tournament threat heading into this year. Representing his newly acquired sponsorship with Flyquest, he defied expectations by winning Genesis 9. Thank god he did, cause he chose that tournament over my bachelor party. At least it gave us something interesting to watch.
Winner of Genesis 9 & Collision 2023, Ranked 6th in 2022, and the champion of Upstate New York, Jmook returns to TWP after 4 years. Jake speaks to his upcoming move to California, the challenges of being a professional melee player, his plans to level up content and how he still considers "playing the homies" as fundamental to his improvement strategy.

Yeap, it's a long one. Trying something new here with a mega episode. This weeks theme is balance, finding a way to keep Melee (or ultimate) in our lives while exploring other hobbies or building our adult lives.
Starting off as a competitive player or farming a region, marketing content or working the algorithm, building a community or grinding ranked, we cover a bit of everything with the three sick guests of Ventus, Kogs and Billz.
0:00 - Intro and preamble
0:11:50 - Starting as a competitor & wannabes feedback w/ Ventus
1:17:34 - Pushing top 100 w/ Billz

Solo episode and a possible return.

MONSTER-MEGA-THREE-SEPERATE-RECORDING-INTERVIEW
This man is a legend. One of the head TO's of Rollback Rumble, including The Big One, Commentator extraordinaire, and a power ranked Falcon player to boot, NathanSandwich exemplifies what it means to be a participating member of the community.
These interviews are largely influenced by RR: The Big One, taking place before, during, and after the event. JD and Nathan discuss their plans for content and other TO responsibilities, what it felt like to be in the thick of the action (while recording a content piece of course) and a final debrief about the experience.
We also go step-by-step through Nathan's career in TOing, commentary, and playing the game. Let me be clear: TOing is about 15 different roles in one, from Social media to seeding, conflict management to marketing.
This episode is crunchy. We wouldn't be mad if you didn't listen all at once...

IRL is coming back, and The Wannabes are taking some different tacts. What do we do to prep for a fest, what should we keep in mind while we're there? And why is JD always talking about eating cheese?

For our FIRST interview of Season 3 we have one of the best marth mains in the country, LSD! Let’s just get this out of the way, LSD are initials. Sponsors, relax.
LSD has been on the grind since the age of 13, traveling all throughout the south-east U.S and reaching number 1 in the state before being able to drink a beer. Now running for Summit, LSD takes on a series of questions ranging from Summit incentives to biggest mentor in Melee. We also get a chance to see what his ego says, uninhibited.
Marth main, Body & Mind player, eventual best in the world, this interview has something for everybody. An incredible way to start the season.

OH YEA BABY WE IN THERE.
Season 3 is the UNIVERSAL SEASON of going places, baby! We’re 2 and a half years into this thing and are on that gradual grind, and nothing says incremental change like getting extremely hyped over a new logo and branding. And then… Saying virtually the same stuff in each episode!
Nowadays, though, a two week break means a lot of activity built up for JD and Wassabi. There’s the secret project that we finally announce (Working on The Big One!), Wassabi making big decisions in his personal life, and JD coming in hot off a 3 day smash fest and finally looking like a fox that’s been playing for 7 years.
We’re just getting started, y’all. Let the games begin

It's not often that we do a special episode, but after last week's conversation about it feeling right, we've decided to spend more than 1 day going through our past season and wrapping things up properly. What does that mean though? More of the same, actually. Will and JD talk about increasing capacity like Goku, revisit some therapy sessions that were relevant and tease an upcoming project that's coming up sooner than later. How do we meet the moment without needing to sprint? What does "Grinding" mean and when is it appropriate? What have we learned from last season, and how do we approach Season 3? Next episode coming tomorrow. Thank for for joining us on this 6 month ride! Have any questions?

When we have a good opportunity come up, it feels like we can tie our entire identity up in it. Truth be told, it's taken a few times like this for us to actually deal with this anticipation. How do we get excited while keeping expectations down? How do we contribute our best work to a project we're not in charge of? And how do we keep the growth mindset while still living in the moment and working as hard as we can?
It ain't easy. Will and JD work through it in real time this episode, so don't expect any answers. Like always. What do we know?!

It's The Cheat! He's a dope luigi main, Head T.O of the legendary Smash Camp series, and a hilarious commentator/content creator. But most of all... he's a guest on the show today. He talks about all of these things!
This was recorded back in FEBRUARY of 2021, but the context here is evergreen. Listen in to one of our scenes greatest overall contributors talk about starting in the community, getting a job because of smash, and creating one of the sickest smash events in the entire country.

Yup, The one and only.
In this interview JD sits down with legendary commentator, player, and personality Toph. Note - This was a few months ago, so before the Golden Guardians signed him.
Toph touches on his early career as a player and commentator, traveling to tournaments with Scar to get reps behind the mic, and answers a few lightning round questions about Melee commentary. A definite can't miss interview!

Sometimes good stuff happens, and it comes with a bit of fear. A good Ladder placing got Wassabi in bracket for TMT, and a great video got him views. What does he do with that pre-bracket fear? And how can he be happy for himself without getting derailed, or distracted, by letting his ego mess him up?
For JD, he's launching a new project soon. He may be confident in the project, but when you're bringing something into the world there's fear there as well.
Also in this episode: Weekly commentary duo debrief, some great questions from the one and only Cyfer003, and the announcement of a new PATREON! Coming soon!

Wassabi and JD are COOKING lately, and that's not just about the 5 minutes at the end when they talk about literal food. We're talking progress. We're talking good habits. Life updates. Melee practice, secret projects, teams practice scheduling. Exercise and working hard. It's non-stop over here, baby!
