Players being held back by bad character choices is certainly a thing, but that's really only a legitimate concern for like, I dunno, Kirby and Villager mains and the like. Certainly not for Wario mains, whose character is solidly in the top 20-30% of the cast and has been for the game's entire...

That's not how any of this works.

One change I've been noticing in acola's play is how he utilizes diamond. Not his diamond tools mind you, just the diamond in general. Usually you would see a Steve player, in optimal circumstances, mine enough to grab one diamond and then either 1) craft diamond if their percent is low enough...

This SSC: An absolute bloodbath of crazy comebacks, upsets, and the highest top players drowning to novel matchups and clutch play, leading to a rather unorthodox top 8 of whoever just barely managed to survive the the utter chaos. Also this SSC: #1 ranked acola steamrolls his way to top 8...

Super Smash Con has been an absolute bloodbath so far, but we've reached a new level with our last two supermajor grand finalists being sent to Losers at the start of Top 128 Sparg0 :ultcloud: 2 - 3 :ultcorrinf: Ly Sonix :ultsonic: 1 - 3 :ultsamus: IcyMist This in addition to players like...

I'm not appealing to the FGC on this matter because of tradition, I'm appealing to the FGC because their approach makes sense and isn't stupid.

I am shocked, repeat, SHOCKED that the whole #BanSteve hysteria is set to follow the most obvious and logical progression everyone was screaming off the rooftops, that it would be used as a vehicle to ban "other" characters that people don't like. There's a reason other FGCs have utilized bans...

Well if you want to go that route, then I can go with my other foolproof but cracked method to make Kirby better. Just give him infinite jumps! This isn't even that much of a joke honestly. It obviously won't or shouldn't happen because nobody in the world wants to see even more air camping...

The way to fix Kirby has been glaring and obvious since Melee. Give him better air speed and acceleration. His atrocious air speed has been an anchor around his neck for 2 decades now and has succeeded in undermining every good part of his kit. He doesn't even need to be Jigglypuff. Just give...

To clarify what I mean, these patch notes are posted on an entirely different domain name (en-americas-nintendo.com) that's made to look like the subdomain you usually see patch notes at, that being en-americas-support.nintendo.com It's kind of a pity though, Steve aside some of these changes...

That's not a real patch, that isn't even Nintendo's site (look closely). It's definitely a funny joke though.

Acola's defense against Tweek was downright insane. He was escaping from dire disadvantage situations that should not have been possible to escape without playing 12D chess, tons of situations where other Steve players would just unceremoniously die. This dude spotdodge'd sweetspot down smash...

There are a ton of characters and tools that need to be toned down to reach this platonic ideal of "perfectly balanced" that people keep talking about, but that's not something we ever could have realistically expected, and even if Nintendo tried it's not like they'd be able to accumulate enough...

Some characters are better than others, FGC have worked under that assumption from the very beginning. We all just gotta deal with it. The Steve ban looks likely to run out of steam in time, with big majors likely content to just implement PMLG bans and especially with Japan looking to be...

Skyjay makes Incineroar look like Kazuya if Kazuya had actual good frame data.
