    What grinds your gears in For Glory mode? (THE ROLLENING)

    Agreed. Had one spewing insults and laughter nonstop and then fleeing after he wins one fight, in laggier settings than usual no less. That behavior should really affect their pathetic lives in some way, and I hope they end up more lonely than ever for even thinking of ruining one's fun for...

    Sheik patch 1.1.0 changes - CONFIRMED

    Look, I get it. They're very very good players. And Sheik wins because experts know how to play. But so are all the other players that use different characters, and they try hard to figure out how to beat the match up. Seeing two Sheik players reach the top may be a coincidence, but a...

    Sheik patch 1.1.0 changes - CONFIRMED

    Um, dude. When did I say Sheik got first place? I said she got PLAYERS moved to first and second. In fact, to be more accurate, she got them both to Grand Finals. Not sure where the whole ZeRo excuse comes in play, but Diddy got nerfed hard after he moved people to top places at APEX regardless...

    Sheik patch 1.1.0 changes - CONFIRMED

    Aw let the guy complain. A jerkish rant to pull, but I feel kind of sorry for him. It's not like these nerfs are crippling top tiers like Diddy, who is still good. He's probably disappointed the one character who got players placed in first and second at EVO didn't get the same big treatment the...

    Sheik patch 1.1.0 changes - CONFIRMED

    I don't really understand the issue with Sheik's F-air change. I mean I know the damage reduction is a significant change, that's a given. But does the additional landing lag really count as a major nerf? If she is able to continue her auto-cancelling and seemingly flawless F-air looped combos...

    Balance patches are spoiling us

    I feel both of you bring informative points. Even though programmed ATs such as Melee's wavedashing were unintended, there probably isn't a need to remove them unless: 1) The technique overcentralizes the metagame to the point where other techs such as basic rolling are useless. 2) The...

    Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

    What? You must be taking a shot at me alone with that statement because all those competitors certainly did not have defeatist attitudes and they still couldn't beat him. Not even gonna debate that too many patches remark.

    Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

    Fair enough. Then the balance patches are the only hope left from here.

    Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

    Guess so. I really want to believe the classic "Nobody's perfect", and ZeRo is making it very hard to believe in that. Especially if he's dropping the game for a period undefeated. That just seems so obnoxious. I know I said, I'd quit online, but I do hope this game gets balanced better so that...

    Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

    Thanks for agreeing on the first part, but wasn't ZeRo already good? Maybe too good since he's used the best character, Sheik, enough to know how to exploit every advantage she has in match-up data including against her own self. Last I checked, I thought Diddy was supposed to be an even or...

    Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

    I don't know. The idea that no one (when training to be competitively viable against ZeRo) has gotten good within the past eight months? That and Nintendo not wanting to treat this game as a competitive game alongside making poor balancing decisions (aside from fixing broken tactics) without notes.

    Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

    Go ahead. I'm embarrassed enough as it is to think I could be on par with any competitive players of this game. Btw, MOST of the tournaments? Don't you mean ALL?

    Evo 2kXV Competitive Impressions

    Say all you want about the diversity, but it didn't seem that way in the top 8. Any characters we didn't expect much of such as Wario, Marth, and even Olimar were clearly outplayed by the obviously stronger characters. Abadango's Wario did pretty awesome, but the results against Sheik still hold...

    Balance patches are spoiling us

    Yeah I know. That's how I'm beating them. But they can still bait me to do those and defend or evade to take advantage of my vulnerability.

    Balance patches are spoiling us

    Good point. I'm a Charizard player and I know he has a ton of weaknesses that can be exploited by speedy characters and zoners. I've beaten plenty of Sheiks online, but it's always by a hair and from what I've experienced, one small mistake can cost me the whole match. For Sheik though, it...
