    Sakurai Says His Work on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Has Come to an End

    Don't worry, the next Smash will be called "Super Smash Bros." Nevermind that it was already used.

    Brawl Central Presents: Character Viability in Brawl

    Can these characters win majors? Sure. Will there ever be another Brawl major? That seems unlikely, but you never know. Higher chance of a Brawl major than a Smash 4 major, at least!

    Rivals 2 Kickstarter Funded

    One of the downsides to the 2D pixel art is that Dan Fornace had to significantly limit what actions the characters could take, at least at the time. That's why RoA did not feature shields, grabs, ledge grabs, etc. That's not to say that it can't be done (Fraymakers has proven that) but it is...

    Nintendo Releases Community Tournament Guidelines

    The thing that is being overlooked, IMO, is that this affects more than just the Smash Bros scene. This affects ALL Nintendo IP, and ALL forms of competition, including: Classic Tetris World Championships - https://thectwc.com/ Speed Runs tournaments - http://speedgaming.org/events/ Might...

    TV Asahi Poll Reveals the 100 Most Popular Console Games in Japan

    With the exception of Undertale and Minecraft, there's basically no non-Japanese representation on the list. Also no FPS games, which is not surprising since FPS isn't a popular genre in Japan. I am however surprised that there's no Skyrim on this list, considering how overall popular a game it is.

    Rivals of Aether: Definitive Edition releases for Switch in 2020

    I respectfully disagree. The base game is worth the price of admission alone. Steam workshop is basically icing on the cake.

    Evolution 2019 Lineup Announced, Smash Ultimate Makes Main Stage

    I think this is a sign that the Melee tournament scene as we know it is going to start winding down over the next year, especially as Ultimate continues to pick up steam. Especially as other fighting games continue to come onto the scene and draw viewership numbers that Melee used to pull, and...

    How exactly do we measure character viability via tier lists?

    SmashCentral's tier list is more consistent with what Smogon's OU uses for Pokemon tiers. Not necessarily based on overall strength, but based on usage + results. That said, it follows that good and powerful characters will be used more and place higher in tournaments than bad and weak characters.

    anyone else worried zoner players might get suspended for unsportsman like behavior?

    You misunderstand. I don't mean projectile spam doesn't exist. I mean at the high GSPs, people don't complain about it because you learn do deal with it and counter it. If spamming projectiles leads to wins, you'd be stupid to NOT spam them. And at high GSPs, people understand this. You have...

    anyone else worried zoner players might get suspended for unsportsman like behavior?

    If you make it to Elite Smash, or at least higher GSPs, you basically stop running into this problem.
