Sweet jesus that's a miserable idea. I can't even touch any other fighter thanks to their god awful controls.

Yeah, and that's what sucks - a lack of serious experimenting with the format and considering all new options. Like, forget about SS, something the community has never had to consider; it's now the case that "hazards off" will be the starting benchmark for looking at stage legality, leading to...

How do I become a TO when I have no time and am not going to dump money into a video game's competitive scene for questionable, if any, change? Also, what about new things that have never seen widespread applicability to begin with, like Squad Strike? That's very much up in the air, but it'll...

The competitive community hates being even a little experimental with regards to settings and it sucks. See: how Squad Strike will 100% be relegated to "side tourneys", despite being objectively more interesting and not any worse balanced.

How could you possibly think that spirits would be in competitive? I mean, didn't they even say that they're turned off online? And then, of course, the competitive scene is even *more* stringent about balance than their online settings.

NECALLI by @FrozenRoy (May edit later for readability, as I am getting this out quite late) Stats: These seem to make sense, although I’m confused by the wording of “more stout than Gdorf tall”. So he’s…wider than Gdorf is tall? That seems weird. I assume I’m reading it wrong. Seems slow, but...

"Shantae is more influential to gaming than Castlevania"

Before I get into this, I want to break down a bit of how I approach these. What I’m looking for is three things at first: -How well does it fit in Smash: Does it seem like it’s a bunch of Smash moves, or is this an ASW game. To this end, there is a sort of “maximum complication” calculus I do...

It wouldn't be hard at all to make a unique Lyn. She can teleport and create clones - that's immediately completely different from any of the existing characters.

Too many of the sword characters play too similar to other sword characters. 2 Link semi-clones? 3 FE ones? All of that flying in the face of the fact that it would be super easy to make interesting movesets for those or the others, and it becomes a shorthand for lazy.

Picks which make sense within the broader arc of character selection Nintendo has exhibited for the last 5 games in the series (Nintendo games of importance with distinct characters and/or 3rd parties with significant gaming history and/or that one time one character whose games have mostly been...

Why the community is continually so ok with clones and semi-clones.

Well, if someone can get really good at one character, then they would then be able to clear out people who are only good with a few characters - it's not like all 3 on a team attack at once. An amazing Shiek can still beat out an ok Diddy, and then an ok Cloud, and then an ok Bayo. Then it...
