    The Pokemon Anime is ending Ash's journey after 25 years, New Series to follow

    Even though I haven't been watching the anime show, it still feels heavy to see how the story passes on to the new protagonist. At the same time, I'm excited to see how the direction goes, and maybe Ash and his friends will have fun cameos here and there.

    About Zero

    This is getting too heated for an incident that's already settled between ZeRo and the victims. Honestly I'm not surprised this pedo/hebe discourse gets mixed up because we are in an era dominated by pop-culture that blurred these lines. One show I vividly remembered featured a guy who, I quote...

    About Zero

    It looks like Gonzalo and Jacqueline finally reached a settlement in court. Gonzalo admitted that he was acting like a creep to Jacqueline, while Jacqueline admitted that she falsely accused Gonzalo of abusing Vanessa (his now wife). It also lead to Jacqueline removing her Google Doc detailing...

    Are you counting the time when Roy uses jab to confirm to a bair, or are you saying that number due to the amount of failed ledge-get ups by Lucas? Either way, it sounds like a different definition of what an "edge-guard" is for some characters. Snake for instance can do drop-down ledge B-air...

    Remember the guy who analyzed over 1 Million matches recorded on Smash.gg 2 months ago? He made an update after he found a bug on the script, so the matchup ratios are a bit lopsided now: https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/iigtjo/i_screwed_up_my_previous_analysis_so_ultimate_is/ Not...

    I believe the bigger picture here is that we want to look outside what's been said on paper throughout the meta of said character. :ultdoc:, I also believe to have weaknesses outweight their strengths, but we want to know how we can circumvent said weaknesses. Negative on hit, stubby yet fast...

    Fun trivia: :ultincineroar:'s walk speed (0.62) is 0.03 units smaller than the formerly slowest walker, Melee Bowser :bowsermelee: (0.65). It both helps and hinders its microspacing option from different perspectives. Slower walk can mean your opponent could mis-space their move against your...

    Sharpy (Best Incineroar in Dominican Republic) posted his 8.0.0 MU chart: He believed the buffs did not change the MU's drastically since all it did was make his strengths better (Revenge, Kill Power, Grabs), not solving the issue of his weakness (Slowness) in design. It's rather pessimistic...

    Thinkaman was referring to the cumulative matchup ratios based on smash.gg usage. It's from this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/hfb2ep/i_analyzed_one_million_matches_and_found_smash/ To any lurkers around, you can look over page 404 for the amazing discussion and stats...

    I'm a bit curious about this matchup consistency/inconsistency that was mentioned a few pages back about smash.gg and right now. Does matchup consistency mean that a character's perceived MU is just as expected from what's told from the statistics, or a lack of outliers (like Ike having a major...

    :ultmetaknight: is such in a weird place atm. To me, he feels like a character that requires precise strings and reads to capitalize rewards, but the degree of rewards is low. Heavies can get wrecked by his long up-air/down-air strings ending with a tornado special and floaties risk getting...

    Samus's jab1 can be used to tip opponents off when it hits shield. It's surprisingly safe on shield with its low end lag and respectable shieldstun, which can lead to some mixups, such as foxtrotting away to avoid the opponent's OOS options and reacting with the appropriate move (aerials, pivot...
