There are tradeoffs to custom moves yes, but that does not mean they are all equal. There are advantages and disadvantages to picking different characters also, but we still end up with low tiers and high tiers. Certain custom moves will be objectively better than the regular version, in certain...

What I almost never see addressed is the matter of actually making custom moves available. The only way to get them is to spend untold hours grinding for random drops in awkward single player modes that have little if any use as tournament practice. This is not the ‘play a bunch of VS matches...

In smash streams, commentary often stands out to me as the thing that needs the most improvement. There are of course a few masters of the art around, but all too many people on the mic just seem to not be thinking critically about what they're saying. I guess it's an easy trap to fall into when...

This is a great post, every smasher should read this. It's extremely important to know this kind of thing if people are going to understand where others (or themselves even) are coming from with their preferences. Also I've got to second the shoutout to Sakurai. Smash pulls off high depth with...

I'm kind of surprised this is being posted on the front page. News is news I guess, but imo it feels a little unprofessional and sensationalist to throw leak info like this in with all the legitimate smash 4 updates (and it's kind of feeding the trolls to legitimize potential fake-leak creators...

I always saw your commentary as something special. You brought the professionalism, the hype, the game knowledge, the stories... you understood everything that was needed of a great commentator and did it flawlessly, to say nothing of all the other amazing things you've done for this community...

This is the case for me, I'm not that great but I'm one of the best in the immediate area cause there's barely anyone else who's into the competition scene. It seems like there's a lot of such people who have trouble breaking into the tournament scene like they'd want because of the low smasher...

I can definitely see Marth as most common main. He's generally popular as a character, great at high level competition, but still easy to dominate with even at lower skill levels. You don't have to master a bunch of difficult techniques to make use of big fast powerful disjointed hitboxes...

No problem, as long as you're enthused it should be like riding a bike. I got a lot better last spring training with just one person who hadn't played in while either (which I guess gives you an idea of the unparalleled caliber of my play :p).

Always glad to see people collecting dat sweet sweet data. Yay Science!

Late August, don't have exact dates yet on when I'd be available. Four people sounds pretty legit, that's double my usual training sessions.

Hey there everyone, I'll be living in Chattanooga soon, and was wondering if there have been any sort of tournaments or gettogethers going on lately. I see there are a few players around even if there haven't been any events. Most of my practice is in Brawl but I could play any smash. If anyone...
