Oof..... Yeah honestly it's not so much Ridley not being buffed (or, meaningfully buffed) that hurts. It's seeing a giant wall of buffs to tons of characters that are well above Ridley's place in the meta, along with zero nerfs to characters that are really frustrating to fight against. When...

It's a hard to break habit, but yeah you basically just gotta get into the habit of returning your stick to neutral rather than continuously pressing or tapping it or it seizes and stops accepting further input.

I actually made an entire montage of gimping Little Mac because of how funny it is. It's absolutely hilarious. I have a couple clips of just forward tilting him with Ganondorf and watching him desperately flail to get back to the stage and fail, with literally 0 intervention after from me...

I'm surprised to see so many people not wanting to fight Little Mac. I usually just throw him off the stage and laugh. Unbelievably awful: Palutena - absolute worst thing to run into ever. Her rage-inducing victory screen makes it even worse. Pikachu - almost as bad as Palutena, but doesn't...

Make his recovery even worse because right now it's hilarious.

Honestly, it may be a character trait situation rather than a character choice situation going on here. I've played with people from opposite sides of the spectrum. Some players will play the same character nearly every match. Other players will swap around and choose from a dozen or more...

For me, it's gotta be Pikachu. The character is so outrageously overtuned it's not even fun to fight them. All of their attacks are multi-hit, meaning you can't even spot dodge half their toolkit and they just throw out hitboxes that last half a second nonstop. Their recovery is so good...

I swapped from a PowerA GC style pro, actually. The C stick on the controller was starting to misinput different directions at random times, and the A button started sticking real bad. I actually had two of them, and both developed the same problems. It's also nice not burning through so many...

I switched to a pro recently. I've been very happy with it.

I had that happen for a while. I'd get into Elite and then it was like I entered super hard mode and would lose immediately. I remember the first time I actually managed to win in Elite I was super excited. Eventually I'd start winning occasionally, maybe get 1-2 wins in deep, then lose and...

I'm a bit hesitant as well. I'm somewhat new to playing Smash at a level where I actually understand the game's fundamental mechanics, and it would've been a lot more difficult to learn if things were more complicated. For example, some people wish there were more advanced and difficult to do...

I don't think most people become tournament players in an attempt to earn a living off of it though. Most people become tournament players because they enjoy the competitive aspect of the game, enjoy being around like-minded people, and enjoy the challenge of trying to win sets and stuff...

Elite Smash represents, I believe, the top 2.5% of players on the roster, or, an Elo rating of around 2k. The problem with creating a separate category for the top 1%ers is, essentially, they've already done this. The percent just is 2.5%, rather than 1%. Gather a room of 40 Smash players...

They need to make warlock punch hit harder. It needs to kill at 10%, not 20

I haven't been able to quite tell whether or not this is true. When I queue 2v2s with a friend of mine, sometimes it seems like there may be a hidden GSP rating behind us, even though it doesn't display. Does anyone know if this is true?
