Seems to be two separate things from my experience. you have the massive GSP jumps and losses right when you start a fresh character, and then once that stabilizes, it also changes at different rates depending on where you're at on the ladder. much lower gains and losses if youre at the very...

I think that this analysis holds true on either tail end of the GSP spectrum, where all of the players have a large number of games played, but not so well in the center. We can assume that some large percentage, probably 30-50%, of character specific GSPs are just fake rankings on characters...

the matchmaking was much worse in smash 4, and you had very little information on how well you are doing other than your win rate. Like you could see total games played / won for your tag, but very little to know where you stand overall. There was no displayed ranking or rating etc and you...

Ganon. Hes so common online that I often times use him as my opponent in the trainer. I'm super comfortable gimping him and swagging on him as a result of the practice. The players are also usually bad in comparison to their GSP since Ganon generally lifts players up a bit online. Big easy...

it might be fine if it just cycled through in the same order all of the time. Even without nerfing any of the abilities, i don't think that would out right break him. Maybe nerf magic burst as you've stated, all damage little knockback, since it is absurd when properly spaced at the ledge.

I wouldn't say hes as gimmicky as Mac. Mac has no aerials, no recovery, and like 3 completely ridiculous grounded moves. but I agree that Hero just might be too all over the place, and pays a hefty price for his individually powerful moves (in his frame data). So like, if we just ignore his...

Personally, i play most of the FE characters, so I'm not complaining. For me, they just offer a slew of characters that kinda make sense to me and are easy to swap between for whatever advantage they have. What I'm saying is that I at least understand the complaints about having all of these...

What is with all of the Corrin hate lol. As an actual character in smash, shes got a relatively unique kit. Shes not the 4th or arguably 5th Marth variant with Roy, Chrom, Lucina, and arguably Ike (i would not personally count him). Yall are upset over who the character is rather than their...

I don't think they are stupid or inept. In general, assuming that highly successful companies / individuals are dumb just proves to be false. They have large teams of very smart people working on the design decisions. Nintendo definitely made quick play and GSP the way that it is on purpose...

Its kind of one of those things where where i know what I'm dealing with, but it still pisses me off. With Brawl, they sort of get a pass, but smash 4 and Ulti came out in the esports era where they could straight up just throw a dart at a dartboard to pick whose online ranking system they are...

That is a very timid way to say it. It is an absolute embarrassment and Sakurai should be ashamed of himself. He has dishonored his ancestors by spreading rage across the planet.

it raises everybody equally. GSP is a straight ranking of the players, so picture it like if a new person comes online, they enter the ladder at 1 GSP, increasing everybody else by 1. They don't actually start you at 1 gsp, but anybody above mid to low GSP will see that increase. I'd say that...

the whole thing is incredibly stupid since it is just a ranking against other people that play your character, AND it includes the millions of people that havent even played your character one time. Its not an actual rating, which is the problem. Like lets say some guy is the top Falco player...

No, nobody said that if you actually read the posts. Maybe not directly, but you say these long tongue in cheek things about how you cheese people quite often, such as like 3 posts up. CPUs don't behave like real players, but thats okay. If you're new to smash, i would definitely recommend...

I disagree. It only helps newcomers with the mindset of learning a more viable playstyle, like that works in higher gsp or offline, get slightly better at dealing with turds spamming down B. Otherwise, it just trains noobs to do terrible strategies that only work on each other, rather than...
