    Crabbageddon: What did it cost?

    I'm cotinually reminded of this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.golf.com/ap-news/fan-explains-why-he-threw-hot-dog-tiger-woods/amp/ “I threw the hot dog toward Tiger Woods because I was inspired by the movie ‘Drive,'” Kelly said. “As soon as the movie ended, I thought to myself, ‘I have to do...

    Get on My Level 2019: Smash Bros. Ultimate Top 8 Recap

    11 different characters in top 8. Not a single repeat. Great to see.

    Smashboards Call for Writers

    Research, interviews. Generally staying on top of things.

    Smashboards Call for Writers

    Would love to do this, but I don't think I'd have the time. Writing's the easy part; the work that goes into writing a piece is what I don't have time for.

    Buffing Suggestions for Dedede

    Gordo is (almost?) unreflectable till it comes off the hammer. Plus, the hitbox is huge. I think super armor would be redundant, at best.

    King Dedede tier

    You get a skewed perception watching Big D. He's an incredible player, on a level above any other Dedede player I've seen. I still think Dedede is a solid mid tier (not low), but Big D makes him look even better than he is.

    Buffing Suggestions for Dedede

    This bears repeating. They aren't conventional projectiles, and comparing them to conventional projectiles doesn't make sense. Can Wolf's blaster be fired at multiple trajectories? Can it hit enemies above Wolf? Is it a good edgeguarding tool? No, no, and no. For that matter, it doesn't deal...

    Buffing Suggestions for Dedede

    Fair points. I find Gordo to be a very good move personally, and I see a lot of pros get good mileage out of it. It's great at edgeguarding and excellent at ledgetrapping. You mainly want to avoid using it at mid-range, where it's far enough for the opponent to react but too close for DeDeDe to...

    Buffing Suggestions for Dedede

    There have been calls to nerf Peach's down-B, actually. Maybe not the best comparison. Besides, not every move needs to be "super good." I do. And good DeDeDe players know how to use Gordo. Then maybe don't use it when it's unsafe? Anyone in particular?

    Buffing Suggestions for Dedede

    Okay, but why is 2% knockback ridiculous? I have yet to hear a compelling reason. Your only argument (and the only argument I've ever heard) is that it's a "giant heavy metal ball," which isn't an issue of game balance. In other words, it's practically irrelevant. Gordo toss deals upwards of...

    Buffing Suggestions for Dedede

    Wouldn't mind being able to drop through platforms whole inhaling. Most of these buffs sound unnecessary, though. Nair is a great move and does NOT need heavy armor. His tilts are fine as is. And, I hate to say it, but if you're having so many problems with Gordo Toss, then you probably just...

    Q&A Bad Internet Ban (technical questions/fixes)

    Well that certainly explains what happened the other day. FWIW, I also had a match recently where the game lagged out badly halfway through, and then I lost, but my opponent challenged me to a rematch. So, sometimes there are just hiccups in the connection.
  13. Dr. Corndog

    Is it just harder to play online than locally?

    I feel like I kind of got sidetracked with the question of whether some people have a connection advantage over me (which I'm sure happens sometimes). This seems to address my original question. I guess to clarify, most of the time I don't actually notice any lag. We're not talking frame drops...

    Tech: C-stick Gordos

    Gordo Toss is one of DeDeDe's best moves. And, as we all know, DeDeDe can toss his Gordo with three different trajectories, right? WRONG! As YouTuber D3nsity shows, the C-stick can be used to slightly alter Gordo's trajectory in ways that can catch the opponent off guard, and really help out...

    Is King Dedede higher tier in ultimate?

    He seems to be gaining traction, though. A few weeks ago I would rarely see a D3 player when I searched YouTube. Now it seems that every time someone uploads tourney vids, there's another new DeDeDe player.
