    Universal Controller Fix (UCF) 0.84

    ABOUT The availability and reliability of Gamecube controllers has been a long-standing issue in the Melee community. By now, it is fairly common knowledge that not all controllers are created equally - the disparity in quality of these controllers affects important movement techniques in Melee...

    Searching for Ancient Peach BTT World Record History

    Thank you. I've enlisted Drephen's help for Joe, actually found JD on twitter, and the PNW scene is helping me track down Yagi. I don't have any leads on Senju or gamepro, though.

    Searching for Ancient Peach BTT World Record History

    Hi all. I'm currently working on a video detailing the history of the Peach BTT WR. Much of the early history of Peach BTT (2001-2005) is no longer available online (thanks, gamefaqs purges, allisbrawl shutdown, SDA incompleteness, etc) so I realized I need to come here & on gamefaqs for help...

    Smash Ultimate Ruleset Philosophy

    Anything we do will have wide-ranging effects on the metagame. it doesn't mean anything to say that something would change the game too much, because we're already creating the competitive scene to look like what we want it to look in the first place. I think you'll find that the player who...

    Smash Ultimate Ruleset Philosophy

    The Melee item ban in particular is airtight because there's no possible way to turn off exploding containers. With even one item on, you can always have an exploding container spawn on top of you right as you're about to hit a big smash attack, and KO you unreactably with its explosion. But...

    Smash Ultimate Ruleset Philosophy

    The philosophy of banning items is very interesting to me because you have to try really, really hard to make your explanation not just boil down to "cause we don't like them". I'd really like to see what you come up with.

    Smash Ultimate Ruleset Philosophy

    Considering Dream Land went from one of the largest blastzones in Melee to below average blastzones in Smash 4, I don't think we can make any assumptions about blastzones, period.

    Smash Ultimate Ruleset Philosophy

    The stage list is going to have a lot of possible redundant stage layouts. Here are just the likely ones: Battlefield: Dreamland, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Midgar Final Destination: Port Town Aero Dive, Pictochat 2, Wily Castle, Umbra Clock Tower Pokemon Stadium: Pokemon Stadium 2...

    Smash Ultimate Ruleset Philosophy

    The Ultimate website has a reasonably high-quality look at all the stages (https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/stage/index.html). I agree that we can have a healthy-sized stage list relatively quickly. Since the hazard toggle was confirmed to be a setting like time/stock instead of a per-match...

    Is the potential for PGStats to something that you guys want, though? What would that look like? The only thing I can imagine is us taking events off the PGR if they refuse to play fair, which isn't a position I'd want to be in if I didn't have to be.

    Smash Ultimate Ruleset Philosophy

    Sup. PracticalTAS here, I've been around the block a few times. Melee analyst/content creator/rankings guy, PGR algorithm writer, a few other hats. 1) I've been working on a few assumptions so far, the most important of which is that the hazard toggle will be a system-wide setting (like setting...
