    Met Salt at my first regional, Sunshined 2! She was a super homie and gave me a great impression of top melee players, her authentic friendliness and humor is definitely part of the reason I decided to stick with Melee :)

    Walt I love that made a video about Salt, I have been only been following her for a couple momths but her fucking Falcon is HYPE. She just needs a little more time because that Falcon looks CLEAN. Def goes more for N0ne style explosiveness but if she can camp as well as Wizzy then she's ready to make even bigger waves!
    Also where did you get your phob lol

  • @x9x9x9x9x9

    None will always be my Goat falcon but Salt is insane. One of the most players to watch. But when BBB is your roommate you probably just absorb how to play with swag. No I am not a bobby fan but he was not afraid to play for style over rank and I respect that.

    just my opinion, but i think this style of video should pivot to like an interview or something? it gives off SaveAsUntitled Player spotlight/Melee Resume vibes. something that makes the video more personable. this kinda reads like if the JV5 was for a player. either way i like the video thank you walt 👍

    • @turndownforwalt
      @turndownforwalt  11 місяців тому +1

      Yeah for sure agree! I think if I had more time to publish I would’ve certainly included an interview or two, but I needed to get this out on time for a sponsor requirement. Will work on some changes as I get back into this style!

    Bruh that intro. Hugs is a joke.
    Anyways into the AM makes good stuff. They used to make zipup hoodies like 5 years ago and I still have 2, they are the most comfortable hoodies I have ever owned. They aren't too heavy but not too thin, and had pretty sweet designs. A little loud for a grown man but I still wear them. I wish they'd bring those back.
    EDIT: actually it looks like they have hoodies again but not the same ones I have but I will still be picking one up just to see if its the same material.
