This was just getting good, but Melvin just has no...well, much of anything, to be honest. (He's on xx - Camp Cannon, you see, so had he been with anyone else and got 1-2 upgrades, he probably would have taken this fight. Such a shame to see xx - Camp Cannon actively ruining good fighters at this point.
