Murasa.EXE by @UserShadow7989 A pretty simple, clean set with fun Specials at its core. The anchor catch cancel mechanic is exactly the kind of thing I'm a sucker for (and also a weird synchronicity with New Jersey which I'm not sure if you've read? Definitely a "two nickels" mechanic if not)...

... and that's a wrap on submissions for Jamcon 27-2: Deep! Big thanks to all entrants for giving us such a strong turnout! Our entrants this time around are: High-speed young deep space explorer, Voyager! Ruler of an underground kingdom, Asgore Dreemurr! Archaeologist and tunneler...

Welcome, one and all, to Jamcon 27-2! If you're not up on jamcons, here's everything you need to know. We all try and write movesets quick-like (y'all have til the end of Tuesday). Then for a couple weeks after that, anyone who's commented all the sets can vote for their favorite. When our two...

Phantom Shadow by @UserShadow7989 This is a pretty solid set and generally my favorite of the jamcon so far. I think my biggest criticism is that a lot of the Specials really don't get into speed or safety, so it's a bit hard to grok the shape of Phantom Shadow's set-up game. Can he do a cheeky...

Dagded Dujardin by @TortoiseNotTurtle I was having fun with the fourth wall breaking character intrusion, shame it disappears from the middle of the set (I assume due to time constraints, which I can't fault you for!). The gag in-character moveset at the end was a really fun way to close things...

Hinyari by @Hyper_Ridley A small, straightforward little (big) fella. Pretty fun, small set with a lot of fundamentals stuff. I think his command movement options (NSpec, USmash, DAir) are the real stand-out inputs for me, very fun heavyweight options that give him a distinct flavor. The passive...

A.B.A by @Arctic Tern Probably not big news for you in this comment since I previewed the set, but I didn't find myself clicking with this one quite as much as I wanted to. I think the set doesn't find quite as strong an identity for itself as I'd like; A.B.A's toolkit is incredibly wide and it...

God is coming [For the Love of Money, Money, Money entry]

Therion by @SaltySuicune Been really looking forward to this one - Octopath is a bit under-repped in MYM and while I don't love OT1 the way I love OT2, it's still a solid little game. Being able to grab items is a fun little twiddle (I actually have also played with this a little before in old...

Yep, submissions are open and will be for a few months!

I believe we have but not in a while (and some older MYM sets may not age well). You can find a list of every moveset in MYM (up through MYM26) here. The "Movesets" tab at the top of that page should let you navigate to the right contest to find whatever you're looking for from the list I...

Friedrich der Große by @Arctic Tern Really enjoyed this read - most fun I've had with a Tern set since Remilia! Don't want to set expectations too high for other folks, but Friedrich gets a lot rowdier than your MYM26 work in a really fun way. None of this will be a surprise to you since I...

MYM27 is up, folks. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

WELCOME TO MAKE YOUR MOVE 27! Make Your Move (MYM, to the regulars) is a moveset-writing contest with its roots in the pre-Brawl era of Smashboards! Since those halcyon days, people have come to MYM to answer the eternal question: what would it look like if I got to put my blorbo in Smash...

Yeah, MYM has pretty degenerate tastes and tends to favor concepts that get a little wild. "Too complex to play" is definitely an issue we bump up against sometimes, heh. Some of us push the envelope harder than others. I personally take a lot of influence from ArcSys fighters and tend to lean...
