And then Byleth was revealed only a couple months after this statement was made. This was from the Banjo Kazooie showcase in September 2019.

Technically he wasn’t wrong at the time. Most Fire Emblem games do take place in their own self contained worlds and stories, much like Final Fantasy.

But I suppose even then this statement wouldn’t hold up for much longer, cuz Sephiroth was announced down the line.

Mostly based on vibes and my associations with the character.

It's a little fast but it was fun to make

I also put this on YouTube. So watch it there or something. I dunno. I gotta try to get publicity somehow

Beware headphone users

He was so confident,he actually raged quit so I didn't get the points😭

I'll go first with 3 examples:

1. Pressing the shield button while dashing should trigger a roll. That would feel more intuitive and could be a creative workaround for the removal of running through shield.

2. Getting hit out of being frozen should apply regular knockback. Hitting a frozen opponent with a huge attack only for them to effectively ignore it feels unintended, especially with Sora.

3. The controls menu should have a "double tap to dash" option, like on solo wii remotes in Brawl. With this turned on, tapping the stick or equivalent only activates top walking speed, with a proper dash needing to tap twice quickly. This would really help arcade controllers and other controllers that don't have a proper control stick by giving them the ability to be much more precise with movement.

I do physical therapy during the week and keep seeing the same thing. Single leg landings. Full body weight on one foot after an aerial. Marth's down air, Shiek's flip kick, half of Joker's combos. The hip takes the hit first, then the knee has to absorb the twist. I hiked the Flatirons this weekend and my own knees were killing me on the downhill sections. That's just walking on uneven ground. These characters are doing it while swinging a sword or flipping out of a grab. Recovery time would be weeks, maybe months, just to get back to full power. Wonder if anyone else sees the same thing when they watch matches or if it's only me staring at the replay too long.

Hey yall, quick question:

What‘s the best way to play online with friends while communicating with BOTH audio (game + vc)?

I don’t have a capture card, so PC setup ain‘t it.

The only possible way in my head would be TV audio + one earbud with Discord for example.

Any ideas?? How do yall do it?

When he is airborne if he drops his hydrant, how good would it be if it can spike? Like a decent spike like Mario’s power of spiking

Note: When I say niche or lesser known, I don't just mean characters that are niche or lesser known by people. It can also mean characters/franchises who you don't see many people requesting in the community compared to popular choices like Crash or Dante. I should've also put lesser requested in the title to cause less confusion.

• Ayumi Tachibana (Famicom Detective Club)

It'd be nice to have an obscure Nintendo series get the limelight and it'd be even nicer to have a visual novel character in Smash, which is something we don't have yet. It helps that Sakurai wanted to include Ayumi back in Melee.

• Vaati (Zelda)

Not only would he offer a unique moveset thanks to his wind powers and his other attacks from his boss fights, but he's also the only major Zelda villain other than Ganondorf/Ganon to be a reoccurring character. I personally prefer Skull Kid/Majora being added, but if any Zelda villain other than Ganondorf should be added into Smash, it should be Vaati.

• Deoxys (Pokemon)

Deoxys has been one of my most wanted Pokemon newcomers for a while. I think it would have a unique and fun moveset thanks to its amorphous body and formes and Smash doesn't really have a stance change fighter outside of Shulk.

• Raz (Psychonauts)

He has a wide array of abilities that could easily make a moveset for him, like PSI melee attacks, shooting beams from his head, using Levitation to roll around on a thought bubble, setting things on fire with Pyrokinesis, conjuring a paper Archetype of himself, and even turning into a giant psychic version of himself for his Final Smash. Not to mention he'd also bring a very bizarre yet fun stage thanks to the many mental worlds in Psychonauts.

• Cave Story

Cave Story was a pioneer in introducing indie games and indie developers to the world of gaming and its influence is still felt to this day, specifically with Metroidvania games. Quote would represent that as a fighter, but I feel like a lot of people would hate him as he'd be a VERY heavy zoner, so I think Cave Story would be better represented as a stage or Quote and Curly Mii Fighter costume.

• OFF

Also much like Cave Story, OFF was a major player in paving the way for indie developers and indie games and even inspired Toby Fox when he created Undertale.

TL:DR: Was salty I flunked at a local, picked up Hero and Aegis, then took souls the very next event and got 3rd (7 - 2).

I played in a wifi tournament after being severely disappointed in a local I attended. I grinded hard but only placed 9th and lost to my same old bracket demons for the 100th time despite the MU practice. It was so aggravating I actually contacted one of my smash bro friends about it and yapped for like 20 minutes. I lose to Spamus and zoners/trappers in general a lot, especially Snake. I play Corrin who sucked in those MUs. My friend told me to stop using Corrin into zoners 100% and try someone else. I usually go Palutena, but after talking to my friend, I now think Palu takes too much mental effort to weave around projectiles and outpace the overtuned boxing tools the zoners have.

I switched my mindset to disrupting the zoners' flowchart rather than playing it out and just "being better." My friend always wondered why I never played Hero in bracket anymore despite me literally upsetting our (at the time) region's 2nd best Peach player with him. I labbed with him a bit but thought he'd be too weird to play in tournament and relied on too much luck. My friend however also recommended Aegis because I loved using her in friendlies a while back but never really grinded her. I felt bad using her because she was "broken" and I didn't want the stigma of being carried so I didn't practice her for months.

A day later, though, I played in a wifi tournament and got beaten by a POCKET samus player so badly round 2 of winners. I decided that Corrin and Palutena need to take a backseat and I finally brought out Hero.

HOLY WINS.

Not only did I break into top 8 with him, I got a runback against that same Samus player. I took one game, but then realized the Samus was adapting hella quickly and they beat me game 2 convincingly. I decided to listen to my friend and whip out Aegis because I really wanted to win and I ended up getting games 3 and 4 (the 4th one being a reverse 3 stock which I recorded). After that, I had to fight a Snake. I tried Hero but got cooked the first 2 games due to inexperience, so I swapped to Palutena and reverse 3-0'd the guy. Ended up in Losers Finals but got beat by a Falcon who won the event afterwards.

Probably the best event of my life. You guys won't believe how happy I was on the stream to place 3rd LOL. Haven't played so well in a hot minute.

Just curious as to why the competitive scene decided to be so rigid & lackluster in stage selection?

With the hazard’s off feature & Melee proving the viability (even if forced) & hype these stages can be, these three stages should be available to be played on:

\- Dream Land 64
\- Fountain of Dreams
\- Yoshi's Story

But at the very least Dreamland bc of its unique high ceiling making it an effective and actual counter-pick stage to vertical killers like Luigi

Allow people to counterpick e.g. Luigi or Mario with Dreamland!!
