i can't believe nobody is posting mango vs zain at summit 11. this 10 second sequence is maybe my favorite melee moment of all time. i still lose my mind thinking about this one. mango pushing zain into the corner in fox vs marth on fd with nothing but movement is mesmerizing.
CREW BATTLE TIME!
Who *actually* has the edge in Rivals 2:
Rivals 1 players OR Smashers??
Only one way to find out: 5v5 Crew Battle goes down August 9th (FRI) at 7pm ET!

its crazy that people don't realize generative AI is just that, generative. it works by predicting the next word in a sentence (gross oversimplification but that is basically it) and is NOT an all knowing autonomous entity. it has NOTHING in place to stop it from just lying.
the people dunking on this post simply do not understand. cc dtilt wars are a matter of pride. once you commit to the bit, you cannot stop. my dtilt simply must win no matter the cost.

the panda controller was going to save the world. the panda controller was the answer to everything wrong in society. i will never emotionally recover from the loss of the panda controller. i will be telling my great grandchildren about how devastating a loss it was.
@Silverjojo08
yeah basically. its the same reason i would never call something like the gamecube "retro" because yeah it's 20 years old but it's not very far off from what we have now. compared to what was 20 years old when the gamecube came out and it's like, night and day lol
@PG_ESAM
Actually not much, though it would be nice. I played a mod where it had the same input lag but the buffer was significantly reduced and it felt amazingly smooth. The buffer is the bigger problem IMO.
@shieldgrabber
i personally choose to buy into the theory that everything in the chronicles was complete bs that he made up to advertise his biweeklies.
unfortunately its not true but i choose to believe it anyways
there's just so much about this clip man. shows off perfectly how great melee's movement is, being able to play such insane, fast paced footsies like this. the fact that mango had the fucking composure to do this in the most stressful situation possible also is mindblowing.

@DoodleDoodfrfx
The game feels really good out of the gate and most issues are ones that will likely and importantly can be patched. The first game was fast because of artificial reasons (just being able to press buttons fast) where this game has more decision making involved comparatively.

@KunihgBakar
i am convinced that in like 40 years we're gonna learn this was a CIA psyop in an attempt to start a race war. i am a firm believer that none of the posts with these were real and some group is behind it.
ult is the perfect example of "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle". yeah sure you have 90 characters but the game is so utterly devoid of interesting universal mechanics. it as barebones as platfighters get. 64 had more going on with it than ult and it invented the fucking genre.
AND WITH AN INSANE GAME 15 GRANDS,
@imhyperflame
OF HYPERFAME IS YOUR WINNER OF THE PM @ XANADU LEGENDS MONTHLY! Huge shoutouts to everyone who entered! Thank you also to everyone who tuned into the stream! Sad stream cut out during losers semis but I'll prevent that next time.
Alright everyone, spread the word: Seems like we might just be Project+ gaming at Smash Con after all. Problem is, we need setups! If you're coming to Smash Con, consider bringing a P+ setup with you on Saturday! Time is looking somewhere between 2-4. I'll keep you guys posted.

@ssshuckle
the worst thing is that capcom MADE him a jobber. like in alpha 1 he was beating bison's ass until he got gunned down by a helicopter and then they just kept retconning it until he flat out loses to him.
if anyone is finding me from the 10 seconds i was on coney's stream:
play p+
i wanted to wear my project m hat but they wouldnt let me
dont forget we live in your walls
that is all
@YezSSB
ToDs are so hilariously common in fighting games it's easier to ask what games can you not ToD someone in. Super Turbo, every KoF game, Tekken, Marvel (really, most Vs games). To act like this is some steve exclusive thing really shows you do not look at anything besides ult lmao
@TheTrueBrendanF
He was so focused on the Super part and not the Hero part. He's not just a hero because he saves the world out of obligation, he's a hero because he does what he believes is right. There is no good deed too insignificant, no problem too small. A super MAN, not benevolent god.
@Qunne15
cool man anyways you guys can keep doomering about how your game is "dying" and maybe it'll actually come true. meanwhile stop trying to bring down people for being excited about a new game they enjoy.
good news smash ult players! if you think steve is killing the game, there's a bunch of other platform fighters you could play! consider:
-Project+
-HewDraw Remix
-Rivals of Aether
-Slap City
and upcoming games like
-
@FraymakersGame
-
@SentinelsInc
-Rivals 2
@Deathcheat6
the way they all just do this ON THE SPOT unprompted is incredible. they are all ready to just drop everything, abandon all previous conversation for this. true comedic geniuses.
@KnowingBetterYT
it baffles me that one of the big points that people have against trans people having the right to exist is fucking sports. as if having some kind of advantage over others in sports is something that a) matters and b) doesnt exist already some people being born with an advantage.
just want to chime in here real quick: seeing a lot of people say it looks slower and that the footage might be at a lower fps. after doing the painstaking work of analyzing the footage (counting frames), the game is in fact, running at 60FPS. thank you for your time.
Time for a full, sweaty match! This was captured by
@Player1stGames
with a connection from Connecticut to Mexico. All four players were able to perform this high level gameplay without any input lag.
What are some of your favorite (or least favorite) examples of extremely odd ways in which someone has lost or won a set in a Smash tournament? The more obscure the interaction the better.
@StephenJPlant
ok but like thats not at all what it looks like in person on a real crt. i really hate crt filters on emulators because yes, it ends up producing the right effect on the sprites, but if you've ever actually used a crt you know it's not THAT blurry unless your face is next to it.
done for today so here's my post bracket tweet
2nd at Xanadu Legends 100 for P+! Wins over Hyperflame, Junebug, and Cor, with 2 game 5s vs Prometheus.
I actually cant believe it. I didnt have super great expectations for today, maybe top 8 but 2nd? Feel like I could cry. So happy
you know what, i finally got it now. people who exclusively play ult are the same kind of person as people who watch only marvel movies and go "this is peak cinema"
@Le_Brutus
@Bluish158
this is the correct take. the kind of stalling that has been banned falls into both those definitions. stalling has always been putting the game into a situation where nothing can be done (puff stalling offstage and peach bomber stalling under stage in melee and mk idc in brawl)
idea: fighting game book club
every week, a new fighting game is chosen. everyone has a week to learn and practice the game, and at the end of the week, a tournament is held.
@kommanderkarl
can't wait for the grifters to see the review bombing and be like "see? helldivers 2 is WOKE GARBAGE and people are sick of it!" while ignoring the psn part
@AliceClimbers
Crazy take but I think when Hax is saying "I need melee in my life like I need water I have literally nothing else in my life" he has more problems that unbanning him would not solve. I don't think he should be permabanned but unbanning him won't fix his life.
Ok you know what I was originally just gonna do the Ludosity games I've played but FUCK IT! I'm gonna give away the ENTIRE Ludosity Bundle on Steam! Reply to this post to enter! I'll pick a winner at 10PM EST this Saturday 10/23! Good luck to all!
it is unbelievably frustrating to be so passionate about this genre and have people disregard even looking 5 millimeters to the left from their nintendo character shaped key jangling simulator to TRY playing something different. melee players dont get a pass either for a game-
@Bafael1
you are ignoring the number 1 rule of fighting games: my character is the only honest character in existence and also sucks im beating you because im 100x better than you and your character is cheap and broken and you are carried as fuck if you lose to me you are just bad
I think a lot of people are missing his point here. Sure we still have an active scene, but the amount of people who are like "Yo I LOVE PM!" or say "PM WAS so sick!" is disproportionate to the amount of people who do still actively play.
My platform fighter hot take: people don't actually like Project M
People like the nostalgia of learning a new game with really interesting mechanics, and the "anyone can win" nature of patch 3.02.
If people actually liked Project M, they'd be playing it today.

say "hey dont do this stop being fucking weird". this guy is so fucking shitty im so tired of it. he needs to just straight up say that the "stans" who do this shit are being fucking degenerates. instead he dismisses any criticism and encourages them to keep being fucking weirdos
@MoosseffFGC
the bigger sign of an ult player in my experience is that they NEVER push advantage. every hit that doesnt lead into a full combo they just reset to neutral lol
@shieldgrabber
chu writing some absolute degenerate shit that will change the way you look at him forever and then 5 sentences later "hey guys please come to my biweekly guys please"
@KnowtheNME
@PLUSH_WITCH
i have tried so many other controllers but honest to god theres nothing that comes close to gcc for comfort in platfighters to me. maybe its because im a freak and grip my controller like a lobster but it just works perfectly for me.
i think the fact that in a year the only OS microsoft supports will be windows 11 should be a genuine crime that they face legal consequences for and i am 100% serious.
@SaiPBLK
@_YDelirious
Oh no! 2 of the same character in a top 8? And they're the universally agreed number 1 character in the game! Pack it up guys, game is dead! Theres NEVER been a game where theres multiple representatives of a character before, let alone the best one! We need to ban Steve!
@BioBirb
its really depressing to me honestly. game isnt being viewed on its own merits and how the game actually plays, but instead of some spectacle crossover. i hate that platfighters get treated like this. its like a genre where gameplay doesnt matter to most people.

@campagne_papi
sorry that the fan made mod isn't as polished as a triple a game from one of the biggest game devs in the world. i guess if it's not literally the highest standard in the industry it's not worth playing huh.
the ult community deserves any and all misfortune that happens to it if nintendo's involvement with the game is still met with positivity. you all just do not learn do you
After 5 years since Ultimate's release, there'll be an OFFICIAL Nintendo event for Smash Ultimate.
It uses our competitive ruleset, features our 8 best players from Germany and it'll happen at gamescom, the biggest gaming convention in the world.
Insane timeline that we live in
@Zonyx4
Honestly as someone who's been pretty "no drift fi is fine" before the beta, I think I see the core issue now. Its not that every game without drift di is worse off, but they tend to have something that makes escaping combos better (SDI usually) but R2 kinda just doesnt.
OH BOY ANOTHER SLAP CITY SALE YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? It means I'm gonna giveaway another 5, that's right, 5 copies of the game over the next week! Reply to this tweet to be entered for a chance to win! I'm gonna pull winners each day starting tomorrow at 10PM EST!

considering the reaction when trump simply lost the election, i think its very fair to be concerned about the reactions of the same kind of crazy trump fanatics that were there on jan 6th. there will be some amount of civil unrest after this, the extent of which we'll have to see
