So in a sense, there's no reason anybody cant just copy the smash engine by hand, keep the gameplay the exact same, fudge the numbers and relabel everything and get away with it?

And by that I mean the core mechanics and fundamentals of the game. I know the whole game itself is copyrighted, but I wonder what aspects aren't 100% Nintendo stamped and owned. Say some dev team decides to make a 2d Platforming Fighter for themselves and just make a Melee clone by reusing the...

Atlas is a Titan that held up planets in Greek Mythology. I took that myth and saw it as a metaphor for strength to carry the weight of the world on your back. I feel that kind of strength is just as necessary within as it is physically. I play a lot of Capt. Falcon, Roy, Ganon, Wolf, and Ike...

Ah yes short hopping was first described to me as "letting go of the jump button before the character actually jumps" I can do them very (veeery) consistantly without doing any aerials. For a short amount of time I would be able to shffl until i was interrupted by a whiff or something. Now, I...

Is this weekly or biweekly? I saw it says "Fridays" but the thread was updated for 10/31. Just wondering since I know of a few biweekly tourneys lol

I only mention Lucas because at the time I was spending hours practicing. I guess I use "main" too loosely. I meant characters I am more than familiar/comfortable with, but I guess I should stop trying to spread myself so thin and just play the crap out of Lucas until Im competitively ready...

Thats what I did before I hit this block. I still remember the night I decided to pick up Lucas. Spent 6 hours forcing myself to L cancel until eventually I was chaining aerials into combos fluidly. Then every day, I dedicated myself to just playing him. Loaded up a nice mix set, set up a random...

Guess that would help. Been smashing for the past 3 weeks, so I guess taking a break for a bit wouldn't hurt lol

Im not great at competitive smash but Id say Im better than most casual players who don't use tech. Ive recently set my sights on trying to become better at Lucas, which involves djc, waveshining, and a buttload of l-cancelling. At first I made real progress and managed to get down l-cancelling...

Rosalina/Luma skin?

I've actually had much success with the Giant Falcon Punch. Most people with counters arent used to the delay so I manage to land 3/5 pawnches against mediocre players. Plus it's kinda dope seeing that big bird send whoever is on the business end to the shadow realm.

Cool sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait for next friday :)
