    Show Me Your Vids! Falcon Video and Player Thread

    Falcon can go under Battlefield with a 2X2X customs loadout, no equipment. http://gfycat.com/DeliriousFailingAcouchi

    First infinite combo found (these weren't supposed to be in SSB4.) Will it be patched?

    According to a user on /r/smashbros, it only works on Robin. Apparently a similar thing was possible with ZSS on ROB in Brawl due to a quirk of how footstooling works on him.

    Is there ever a definitive situation of right and wrong?

    The concepts of right and wrong are meaningless in and of themselves; as earlier noted in the thread, their meanings are contingent on societal context. So no, there is no situation that will always be definitively, universally considered right or wrong. Of course, none of this applies...

    Your Favorite Philosopher/Philosopher You Most Agree With & Why

    1. First, my statement is evidently a misleading paraphrase, so I'll quote Dr. Gordon Stein, a professed atheist: "The use of logic or reason is the only valid way to examine the truth or falsity of any statement which claims to be factual." This statement is my example of a presupposition...

    Your Favorite Philosopher/Philosopher You Most Agree With & Why

    1. Based on his inability to understand what? Non-theistic epistemologies? He understood those well enough to point out their flaws; mainly, that none of them have an absolute reference for knowledge beyond man. (Plato sorta did, but not quite, in the world of Ideas, but I don't really feel...

    Your Favorite Philosopher/Philosopher You Most Agree With & Why

    There's a difference between "I can't see how knowledge is possible without God" and Van Til's argument, which is that if the universe is a pure product of undesigned chance, there is no universal basis for claiming to know anything. If man is the final interpreter of the world, he cannot speak...

    Your Favorite Philosopher/Philosopher You Most Agree With & Why

    Not really. Van Til criticises the Christian apologists that say "You must believe in God because the universe couldn't have existed otherwise", saying that this argument concedes that anti-theistic presuppositions about human autonomy and ultimate authority to judge God are valid. His...

    Your Favorite Philosopher/Philosopher You Most Agree With & Why

    Interesting view. The Van Tillian response is that there is no objective standard other than God to judge anything, and as such nothing is knowable outside God's common grace. Van Til himself would probably admit to knowing nothing that he did not already presuppose to be true, thus his idea...

    Your Favorite Philosopher/Philosopher You Most Agree With & Why

    Simply put, who is your greatest philosophical influence, or your favorite philosopher? Feel free to present & argue opposing viewpoints ITT. As for myself, I'd have to say Cornelius Van Til. If you haven't heard of him, he was a Christian reformed theologian and apologist who developed a...

    Dancing blade problem

    what? In melee, you could only slash up/down/forward. Neutral and forward did the same slash. You can influence slashes 2 thru 4 up or forward, but only slashes 3 and 4 can be influenced down. The same way as it was in Melee, the only major difference is that it's faster.

    Air Tripping - Now without video proof (yet again)...

    Here's the thing. Whether or not the game actually creates an invisible platform, the point of the theory is that, on the 1st frame of a double jump, the game evaluates the character as "standing". Twin Dreams's logic has convinced me that the actual platform is unneccesary, and like you...

    Air Tripping - Now without video proof (yet again)...

    By "no one" I mean that there is no reason to smash the stick on the same frame as your double jump, except in the case of zap jumping, thus people don't have a reason to do it. And, the others have a point. The # of Lucas players who don't b-stick, do zap jump, and read this thread is...
