Part III: Contributers:
========================================================================

I couldn't have made this guide without the help of all the people who have played 10 man melee
and got it to where it is today. Most of the strategies in this guide cannot be credited to just
one person, as it is a group effort to refine certain parts of a strategy and replacing certain
moves to make it faster, which is why most strategies, while seemingly similar, can get vastly
different times. It is thanks to these people that 10 Man Melee has come as far as it has today.

Bluefire: Luigi strategy, as well as setting up the foundation for future strategies.
Nothing: Created most of the original strategies, even though most are not used today.
Ravenyte: Created most of the new strategies today, and took 10mm to a whole new level. 10mm
would not be where it is today without him. Also was the first person to make a video of every
WR strategy.
RB: First person to sub-7 Mario.
ShadowTheChog: Came up with the idea of hitting #1 while airborne, which is now used in most
Marth-style strategies
VScorpion: One of the best 10mmers, helped make 10mm what it is today.
sskeeto: For inspiring me to update this guide, and helping me finish it.

Also, special thanks to everybody not listed here who have helped contribute to 10 man melee
from the gamefaqs message board.

If you have methods to times faster than the ones listed here, don't hesitate to email me at
r1k@sublunary.com
