    A gatekeeping FGC player copypasta for your viewing pleasure

    Eh, I've been in both communities, as well as esports for FPS. They both have pros/cons, but I found more cons in smash communities. Smash was created as a party game, it just so happens to be playable as a competitive game. While I think the FGC is being babies about letting new people into...

    Dragon Quest’s Hero out today! Post your thoughts!

    I think he has a cool kit for a game, however I feel like it's too ridiculous to be used in a competitive fighter. I use the term competitive fighter lightly, because smash isn't even built off a fighting game engine, similar to Street Fighter or Tekken. He's probably a lot of fun in a party...

    Dash dancing with Lucina

    Do you mean like frame perfect or sub frame? Frame perfect, probably not Sub frame definitely could be if you're fast enough Something to keep in mind with marcina is there dash has a little more visual drag, so you may be hitting it, but just aren't used to seeing it compared to a character...

    Dash dancing with Lucina

    Load up training mode, practice trying to stay within the 2 red lines in the main training stage. Like literally focus on it for 15mins just trying to keep it even. Then for another 15 mins, just try to do it without thinking. Do this every day until your satisfied with the consistency. This...

    Most Hated Character to Fight - Be Civil

    I mean it's in human nature to be competitive, and want to succeed. So the idea of competition bring out the worst of someone does make sense, scientifically. I think a lot of the reason people ego trip, aside from just being an ass, is the fact that; you may be better then them in any way...

    Bowser matchup

    Playing bowsers online: - Never be under neath them - Exploit the recovery - Space yourself so they whiff the command grab I find that I almost never approach during this MU, I just kind of space out and watch for whiffs. Fire breath is great, you can spam laser, then get good follow ups with...

    Most Hated Character to Fight - Be Civil

    Hate fighting Ganons, because as fox, i feel that I could be working them all match and one unsafe option literally takes my stock (ie: roll into a smash, empty hop to bait and get clipped, recovering low and spike) Hate fighting Puffs because I had a really abusive friend who played her, and...

    What’s the silliest Smash argument you’ve heard? - Read OP

    Does it not build up over time? I think it's fine he has a counter, but if he gets to unlock god mode that lasts for what feels like 30 seconds, after countering 2 aerials, that's a little busted. Joker is a good character, Given his movement speed, recovery distance, power, the risk to reward...

    So why do some characters get true combo throws and others don't?

    I'll play devil's advocate and raise the point that, the game would be extremely boring/stagnant if every character had a similar move set. This game, like many other fighting games, are based on learning how YOUR character plays, then understanding how your character interacts with others...

    USB GC vs OG GC Controllers

    Yeah modifying button sets is super simple, there are some more complex things like sheafing/paracording the wire, but that can all be learned. If you think you want to do more advanced mods, invest in a soldering iron/desolder tool.

    Need help against grabs

    plenty of ways to bait the grab out. - you can dash dance, get close, then get back out, run back in after they miss the grab - projectile spam/punish for missing - tomahawk grab them first - run in, go for a roll - empty hop just out of range - use safe on shield aerials - dash attack...

    USB GC vs OG GC Controllers

    The main difference for me, aside from double z-buttons, is the weight. I like the total weight of the OGCCs over the PowerAs. The controller feels more substantial and less plasticy/cheap. Additionally, the OGCC connectors will always be open at tourneys, between headphones, rumble etc it...

    Question for low(er) tier mains

    The main reason I see people playing lower tiers is because people generally aren't used to the MU. If you're good with a low tier, then you could win solely because your opponent doesn't know what's safe on shield, or something like that. I main fox, so everyone I play knows they can stunt my...

    Custom Controllers?

    https://www.reddit.com/r/customGCC/ This subreddit runs a discord with a ton of people who can fulfil these requests. Since it's individual creators, it takes a little longer, but seems to be cheaper than sites like multishine/cc/etc I''d check out the disc, then look into getting a commission...

    Honest question, why do people still care about single player content so much?

    I'm not up for it, but I'm sure there could be counter points made here that say the balance patches and competitive benefits of characters are only scene in more fast paced play. For example, for casual play, someone may choose ganon, and instead of having to counter ganon as a player, they get...
