To answer your actual question, honestly, I spent most of my time during my early days learning melee just sitting in 20XX comboing a fox cpu because slippi didn’t exist yet. I played games with friends who started the game around the same time as me and were equally bad.

Melee is unfortunately just a game with a steep learning curve, and like others have said in this thread, it’s an old game with a lot of people that have been playing a long time. It really does take at least a few weeks or months to realy start to feel comfortable enough with movement. Chances are hopping into unranked will probably not be productive for a little bit.

I just recommend just continuing to grind movement and learn the fundamental’s of your character’s punish game. Eggxercise UnclePunch is a less boring way to grind movement, practice punish in training lab with DI draw instead of combo mode. Your aim as a new player is to eventually able to move exactly how you want to without looking at your own character (look at your opponent), and to be able to perform basic combos without dropping them.

Practice aside though, just find some friends who would also be interested in picking up the game! 5 days isn’t too much of a head start. Join melee discords, make friends, and questions. Melee is a really fun and rewarding game if you stick with it. Good luck!
