How much has been figured out in this game? (barring customs)

[Capricorn Genesis]

There's been a lot of work put into discovering how deep the core gameplay goes and hundreds of hours of playtime by plenty of competitive players. Considering the effort, how much more significant aspects could possibly be found?

Excuse me if it sounds flippant, but if we really knew the answer to that question, we'd also be able to find the things you speak of.

That said, the game is but a few months old, so consider how much was understood about the other Smash games' mechanics and metas at this point in their respective lifespans...but also consider that we have more precedents than we ever had with previous games...but then again, this game is a new beast...which kind of takes things right back to my initial statement, that is to say, who knows?

Melee has been out since 2001. 14 years past and they are still discovering new tech.

people have been looking for tech and there just isn't much there. it's the engine holding it back.

You want tech? Go play Megaman, fun char if you like that stuff.

Jesus christ so many techs. Moving backwards jabs, nairing with items in hand, full aerial control nairs, Phantom lag cancelling, leafstooling. Mega Man is like a Melee player's dream in terms of skill depth.

This game is so deep that it is going to be as deep as we make it. The more we love this game and put our heart and souls into getting the better at it, the more we'll discover and get better together. In my opinion I think this game is just going to keep growing and growing as time goes on. If we all pitch in at tournaments and in the competitive and character forums we'll be able to learn more together and build a deep game that we've shaped together, so personally i'm pumped for the future
