Death, taxes, Super Smash Bros. ruleset overhauls: the constants of life. While there is often talk of making sweeping changes to the rules of a Smash game, relatively few see use in tournament play, much less widespread adoption. Examples of “successful” ruleset changes in Melee recently...

It depends on what qualifies as a supermajor. I debated putting either Moast 3 or MLG LA 2005, because while MLG was later, Moast had a larger bracket and better competition. Either way, it's been quit a while.

On Wednesday, June 26th, Justin “Wizzrobe” Hallett announced that he would no longer be Super Smash Bros. Melee’s far-and-away best unsponsored player. Team Envy, formerly known as Team EnVyUs, is a Dallas, Texas-based esports team that started in 2007 in the Call of Duty scene. Since then...

I took care of this after some further research. Thank you for bringing this mistake to my attention.

Super Smash Bros. Melee was released in North America and Japan for the 2001 holiday season, while it didn’t hit European and Australian shelves until May 2002. What was Nintendo doing in this intervening time, and why is this relevant today? Here’s some things you might not know about how some...

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about Ice Climbers’ place within Super Smash Bros. Melee. After Daniel “ChuDat” Rodriguez’s meteoric rise to 11th place on the 2017 SSBMRank and a similar climb from Bananas this year to 19th, Ice Climbers have rarely in Melee’s history been more...

Is there a newer version of this that also contains UCF?

Luigisama is one of the most dedicated Brawl players on the scene right now and it's no surprise to see him do well. What's surprising is that he was able to beat Mikeray, who is one of the other people who really grinds the game.

Another Super Smash Con is on the books. When I predicted how the Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament at SSC 2018 would go in my last article, I predicted that Nairoby “Nairo” Quezada would take it and that Cody “Cody” D. would go on a run, but I couldn’t have possibly guessed the rest of the...

This is a very spicy take. I don't see how Nintendo could possibly top Ultimate, but we'll just have to wait and see!

It’s that time of year again: Super Smash Con. Since its inception in the post-Super Smash Bros. Brawl era, SSC has been the premier Brawl tournament and is the de facto Brawl major. Only GOML and the one-off CEO Dreamland could compete with SSC in terms of the caliber and number of players in...

With every new Smash game, rumors abound, some from reputable sources and some not. Smash fans are quick to have debates over pre-release footage of each new game and what it could mean for its competitive potential. While today places like YouTube, Reddit, and Twitter blow up with all sorts of...

This is dank af

Almost as lame as Meta Knight

Anyone who trashes another Smash game is a tool who's wasting valuable oxygen on the planet and doesn't deserve attention.
