Right now if you put a gun to my head and made me decide Starters: Battlefield, Final Destination, Smashville, Pokemon Stadium 2, and Yoshi's Island Brawl. Potentially gives the most variety in terms of layout. 1 triplat, 1 FD, 1 single plat hybrid, 1 2-plat and a stationary 1-plat...

Hey all! I'm Mayday - writer and analyst for the PG Stats team (my opinions are my own and not that of the PGStats team). I've been around the competitive Smash scene for nearly 10 years now, though I've only been active in it for about 6 years. I originally started with the MLG/competitive Halo...

Talked a small bit about the Roy-ZSS MU. Not my most knowledgeable MU, but ZSS probably takes it 65-35. ZSS has the tools to effectively space and zone Roy. Roy's weight makes it easy for him to be combo'd, especially with Uairs. Zair and Nair are amazing at keeping Roy at a safe distance and...

Picked up Roy relatively recently, but I'll give it a shot: Overall: -2 Probably Roy's hardest MU. ZSS can out space Roy. Roy needs to look for whiffs and use his incredible ground speed to close in on ZSS. Dthrow follow ups racks up percent very quickly. Fair, Nair, and Dash attack can kill at...

Even though I see the name Cloud in the Character Discussion section, it still doesn't feel real. Sakurai you crazy

Definitely. Really hate the DK-Sonic MU. DK has basically no tools to deal with spin dash, except hoping for a badly spaced jump out of spin dash.

Moving back to Ohio in October. Will be staying in the Akron/Canton area after a long stint in South Carolina. Looking forward to seeing how the scene has grown. With that being said: Tag: Mayday - Akron/Canton. Play mainly Smash 4 with Melee on the side

I don't feel like arguing the other points because we will be going around in circles for hours. But Apex is about every (legal) Smash game and the community. Not about individual titles. It's a sad day when you have to fight for tolerance within your own community

There were 3 and a half hours of Smash 4 to the ~10 hours of Melee streamed on Finals day. Melee doubles, Melee singles, and bad TO choices are what really held up the tournament (you know, besides losing an entire day). Smash 4 singles top 8 were ready to go around noon. Top 8 for Smash 4 did...

I don't understand. Why shouldn't Smash 4 be considered a part of the "SMASH" community? Are you telling me that Smash 4 players don't belong to the Smash community because their game might be less competitive? That's literal elitism. Some people like Melee more, some people like Smash 4 more...

I feel like there's a 3% chance that the series won't be terrible :confused:

Stop making this about which game is objectively "better" or which games is more competitive. Both games are good. Both games are competitively viable. It's about the disrespect that was shown during Smash 4 finals and what we can do to improve the situation so nothing of this caliber will...

And they have had a solid number of entrants. I can't think of any other new game they could have added that will pull more entrants and viewers than Smash 4 that's not already there

KoF had a horrible showing last year at Evo. Most people knew it wasn't going to be back

I want to blame the issue on everyone being frustrated that the event went way longer than it was suppose to...if it didn't happen to Nairo last year
