It's always a joy to see people pick up Ryu and do well with him. It makes me want to improve my Ryu that much more whenever I see players do so well in bracket without relying on Sheik.

Even Alphrarad knows that Omni is just click bait/biased on things.

I have been seeing this ideology and thought process that Smash 4 should be given the resources that Melee currently has under its belt. There are several people with a mindset similar to Zero (however I will be using him as an example seeing how he is the prominent figure here), but I think...

I think it's great that Smash collectively will have more than 3000 people by the time EVO begins. This is really huge for us as a community as we are larger than Street Fighter! That's insane to think. And yet when you get down to it, there will still be a majority of the FGC community and its...

I think Project M will eventually return in a proper manner once Smash 4 has been around for awhile (2-3 years). That said, there is still the matter of fact that Nintendo would have to acknowledge the changes made from Brawl to Project M. Things such as implemented wavedashing and airdodge...

I really loved the presentation that the video gave off. It really shows off the numerous examples of high-skill competitive play while also demonstrating the amount of hype between transitions, all in the format of an anime intro. Sometimes I wish someone can just make an animation series of...

It's always nice to see new communities want to become part of the Smash community, which in turn allows for our community to blossom by the second. I really do hope that they will receive the proper funding needed in order to start their streaming career as part of the Smash community! Simply...

I really enjoyed the Mario Kart philosophy they had going on for this video. I find this kind of technique and usage could be extremely beneficial at higher levels of play and also allows for another set of mixups for a player to use to give themselves an advantage within the match. I'm going to...

I'm seeing this a lot and I might get a lot of flack for it but people are only hyping because "OMG MAYBE PM CAN BE AT THE CON". That's not entirely the point of this interview. The whole point of it is to see and find if us, the Smash community, can really trust a guy we don't know much to host...

Clearly there is going to be a few things that can't be controlled or missed when conducting an experiment, however I do believe this is enough to prove to Mr. Wizard that by adding just an extra minute to the EVO ruleset, we can have more if not all games to not go over time. The deadline for...

I think it only makes sense that the Japanese tier list differs from the American/Western tier list simply because the players and style between the two regions are vastly different. We should note that a tier list doesn't mean anything. Any "bad" character can win any tournament under the right...

Really excited to hear that Super Smash Con is going to be a thing. This is really huge for the Smash community. If this succeeds, which I'm certain it would, perhaps it could allow the event to branch out to other sections in the nation for those who are unable to attend the first one such as...

Also another thing that I'm glad that to hear from Mr. Wizard is that he is willing to consider adding more stages as starters. If there's one thing that annoyed me at Apex, it was the three-starter stage list, with 90% of all matches taking place in Smashville. I personally prefer having more...

At least Mr. Wizard is being open about the ruleset for Smash 4 at EVO. Personally I prefer 3 stock 8 minutes as the ideal ruleset for Smash 4, but at least the community has a little over more than a month to decide what standard should be used for EVO. Thanks Capps for interviewing Mr. Wizard...

I think it's great to see customs going to be a thing at EVO 2015 and I for one am hyped to see what custom characters will be used throughout the event. As for the stage list, I'm fine even with the absence of Kongo Jungle and Skyloft. My only concern is why Nintendo didn't want Skyloft and...
