Especially with that mindset.
Dakpo, you're only enunciating the problem.

Remember when Yoshi's thought they had an even MU?

I still wanna slap the Yoshi's that said it was even for us in Brawl lol

Less talking, more action

 

[UltimateRazer]

I will still wait until the patch for action. AKA a little over a month now.

Oh cool, it's a biography of yourself.

Unless the patch fixes Diddy, Sonic, Ness, and the rest of the spammy hit-confirm based playstyles I wouldn't get my hopes up. I think this game might just be valuing different things than Brawl did (which is fine). People looking at it as "Brawl 2.0" or "Melee 0.5" are setting themselves up for disappointment.

Strong grab follow ups should be limited to characters that have trouble landing grabs or take a notable risk for throwing a grab out. We'd see no complaints of Pacman had strong kill setups from a grab. Its just pretty flawed to give a quick character with a quick grab such powerful options without many drawbacks there. Sonic and Diddy are especially repulsive here because unlike Ness, Luigi and Falcon, they arent dealing with the drawbacks of exploitable recovery, getting juggled or other flaws to have the tables turned on them. They are quick, speedy characters that can apply alot of pressure, and probably shouldn't have been given such powerful throws.

Ideally I would have loved to see Link, Pacman, ganon. zelda all get strong grab games as it would fit with their design and some proper risk/reward. but with so many strange design choices I could talk about shoulds and woulds for ages.

Razer, if the MEWTWO patch doesn't fix diddy, what will you do.

Your a mod?

Anyway thats a good read. Obviously people say those types of things often and people get offended. I see no problem with being a scrub. We don't have to all play for the same reasons. The majority of the community doesn't actually play for the win. We mostly want to win a certain way, with a certain character without betraying the things we love most about Smash (especially here in Houston). You can't be a real hero without some hardship thrown in.

And it wouldn't be a good rags-to-riches story if the hero started off winning and kept winning.

Underdogs and scrubs are my favorite thing about any competition.

If the patch doesn't hit Diddy, I know what I'm doing. I'll be using this when I face a Diddy:

Hate to resort to cheap tactics, but it must be done.

 

[Teshie U]

But what if the patch only hits Link?

 

[Knife8193]

Patch probably will affect Link honestly, which is why I'm not too invested in mastering it.

If it hits Link but misses Diddy, that would be really unfair, but I'd get over it I guess.

 

[RT]

Patch note changes:

-Diddy gets another banana, we felt one was not enough since some characters can spam projectiles
-Diddy's uair now does 10% more knockback, to prevent early percent chains
-Diddy's fair is now invincible on his legs so he can clank with most projectiles
-Diddy's Rocketbarrel now travels the same distance as in Brawl when uncharged since his recovery is bad
-Diddy's Dtilt now pops them straight up and towards Diddy to set up into uair to enable more combo efficiency

Did I do it right? Is this how you balance a game? I gave good reasons, right?

Put my underwear on my head and write BAN DIDDY on it.

 

[Knife8193]

That is NOT the kind of hit I meant.

At the same time, I acknowledge that Nintendo is capable of that.

Yeah, I'm a mod for the Palutena boards.

Hey fellas I uploaded all of the matches my buddy and I recorded on our stream setup at 4G. I got 13 singles matches and 7 dubs.

The Singles playlist begins here:

[UltimateRazer]

Thanks for uploading Krebs. Things to help you out for future recording: find a way to record with better quality and find competent commentators.

The videos are in low quality from what I can tell. RT knows how to do high quality stuff. And I wanted to stick knives in my ears when I heard the commentary on my matches lol.

 

[TheJerm]

Best character in the game does not mean broken/unbeatable. It's means the character is better at dealing with the metagame than all the other characters.
So you guys want to ban the best character or a unbeatable character?

 

[Espy Rose]

I think Jerm's trapped in 2009.

 

[GaiustheThief]

2009 was 12 years ago wake up Jerm

I think your calculus is a bit off

GreenTurtle. Lol'd.

Krebs, think for commentary you should get people who have a competitive background and either know the player, the character, the matchup, or is lively enough to make the stream entertaining. Appreciate uploading the vids though.

 

[Xyro77]

Good vids, commentary is poo

What app are you using to make the very top part green and the background greyish black? Default is white :/

The game is barely about to reach half a year and so many of you guys are already trying to ban ****. Boo custom moves gives the game too many options, boo Diddy is too hard to beat, even though you've prlly only lost to Diddy couple of times your selfs or not at all.
Gnes lost to razer's snake for a long ass time and dojo's mk even longer then eventually went on a good streak where neither could beat him. Smash bros is not a balanced fighter, never has been. Some of you are saying , oh look at what fox has done to Melee, even though Marth/Falco won the latest national and Melee still has a jiggs and yoshi placing really well. Annnd the game has been around for a long time, so it's only natural the remaining players gravitate towards who they feel is the best character, even for the simple fact of more knowledge about top level play of the game.
