I enjoy Melee quite a bit, but Smash 4 is my jam. Concerning the Smash Bros games, I love them all, with both their strengths and weaknesses. Smash 4 may be my favorite, but trashing the other games and ruining the fun and enjoyment for other people is something I just don't want to do. I love all the smash bros. games, and I have loved the series as a whole ever since first playing Melee in 2005. That will never change.

>All the top players

What about Leffen, who is giving that vocal minority a larger voice? Dude is a child, but he's a child with a large following who will stand by what he says. I'm sure this will all blow over and nothing will happen, but even then, it's still pretty disgusting.

I seen his Twitter and I follow him, he didn't ***** or complain outright.

He might have been miffed but at the most he just said "Its fine, give Smash 4 a chance but we wish for 2 Smash games at EVO"

I dunno, maybe I'm looking into it too deep, but this doesn't feel like "it's fine"

There was a problem fetching the tweet

There's other tweets about how Melee "deserves" Sunday, as though it were entitled to it, then goes on and mentions that Melee doesn't need EVO anyways (which may be true, Smash does have it's own majors, but still).

Sure he's not going off on them, but it still doesn't sit with me well.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Are all poke transferred gen 1's with their hidden ability, or was I just lucky?

 

[Deleted member]

It's not even the Melee community complaining. All the top players and a few Melee guys I know are kinda fine with it and ain't upset.


It's the Stream monsters, r/kappa and /v/ ****posters who don't even play Melee and low leveled players who can't even jump out of pools.


Nobody is upset and it's just a vocal minority which no one listens to

Piece of a top voted comment in SSBM subreddit. 153 points.

My little rant: I mean, aside from outside influences, I really don't get pushing Smash 4 over Melee. Melee has shown steady or increase in viewerships, and has proven to be a giant in streaming (200K+ at EVO). Why prioritize Smash 4, whose viewerships continue to dwindle, over Melee? If it weren't for Nintendo, and what I would be assuming a push for Smash 4 to be on Switch, it'd make perfect sense to continue the trend from last year. Sorry, but watching two characters zone each other out for 5+ minutes to get a grab kill (At like 150-160%) in midst of a heavily defensive game is just not fun for me.

Look at how personal the statement is being taken from the get go. "I really don't get pushing Smash 4 over Melee." A lot of people upvoted this person, which means they are sharing a sentiment that they dislike the idea of Smash 4 getting a spot over Melee and is leading someone to "rant" as they put it.

At the end of the statement, he goes out of his way to mention his opinion of not enjoying Smash 4 for whichever reason which is kind of random, but also kinda further showing the sentiment of "I just don't like Smash 4".

Another top voted comment. 106 points

I agree. I really really ****ing hate when people claim smash 4 "deserves" the same treatment as Melee. More people tune in and follow melee. It honestly just comes down to melee is a better game to watch. Smash 4 is just to slow paced compared melee or other fighting games with hype combos. Sure an outsider maybe able to tell what is going on easier in smash 4 than they can in melee, but the speed and movement makes it that much more interesting.

It's like comparing curling to hockey.

Once again lashing out at Smash 4 because it's not their preference.

WHAT THE HECK WHY IS MELEE NOT ON SUNDAY

[–]TIGER_COOL You can give smash 4 all the room to grow you want, it still won't make it appealing to anyone who isn't involved in its competitive scene.
I've tried. I really have. It's boring.

I can really dig up a lot more, too. To act like this is just people who get ignored is wrong, there's plenty of discussion here in these threads and hundreds of people upvoting similar sentiments. It really goes into the insult the other game territory just cause it got in over them.

Gen 1 Pokémon will always have its hidden ability (if it has one).

 

[MF Viewtiful]

The way I see it, being a top player makes you a public face of your game. What you say and do represents the community, right or wrong. Leffen's words just reflect poorly on a community that already has a bad reputation when it regards its relations to other games.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Gneh, seeing the Melee fanbase being as immature as ever compared to other fighting game community is just kinda normal to me now.
Their "passion" is becoming just toxic now. While it help them when Melee was mocked by other fighting game community, now they are just using their passion to whine over everyone instead of treating the situation slowy and with maturity.
And it make me sad, I except more from a fanbase that worked so hard to be recognize by other more "serious" community. It's just a freaking shame.
Worst, they are peoples that know that it suck but are still trying to get over it without complaining too much. But they are so little that the most whiny "fan" are the one that are being heard by others, like, **** those guy.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I think the community is what made me stop playing smash

seeing people say "Smash 4 sucks" all the time Made me give up on even trying to play. Why would I want to play a game that belongs to such a..crappy community

Smash 64 is the only Smash game that nobody will complain about it because they are too focused to whine on Brawl,4 and the other fighting game like SF and Guilty Gear. And 64 fan don't complain either because they know who they are and prefer use their time to make their scene better.
Smash 64 is love, Smash 64 is life.

 

[praline]

God damnit Overwatch is doing that thing where it glitches and no sound is produced.

 

[Pazzo.]

I'm no fan of Kotaku, but this was the most even-toned piece on the Switch I've read so far.

Mind you stagnant isn't bad, just catering to the same crowd... over... and over.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So Pokemon Bank.

It'll take all the Dex Data from every game I sync with the updated version?

That's what I assume. About to transfer over all my gen 6 pokemon, which includes most of the legendaries

I think I only don't have a few. The rest of the pokemon will be easy to get

Assuming something isn't wrong with my gen 6 pokemon

Oh, the 64 scene is awesome. By far the best players and commentators.

 

[Curious Villager]

Got all my stuff transferred over from Pokemon Bank to Moon and done some quick trades for some rarer pokemon. My Alola dex is nearly complete, just need to get a few more Gen 7 exclusive mon's and I'm done.

The PC boxes are pretty tight up though, kinda wish they added a few more....

 

[Swamp Sensei]

How much is the Bank fee again?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

For me, it was $5.01 for a year

Praise the 64 brother!
Really, the community really look like how the Melee community was before it went full "baby whiny fanboy that complain when it doesn't get what it want and **** over anyone else.

 

[Deleted member]

It's not crazy. It just means you're an extremely mature fan. And that is honestly wonderful.

Melee VC with online actually sounds like it'd be cool(of course it depends if we can use Gamecube Controllers or not...) for fun alone, and it'd help push the Switch for many players. >.>

Haha, thank you, Irene.

To be honest, depending on how ergonomic the Switch controllers are, I might actually...switch! I love the GC Pad, and it's been my favorite analog stick controller for the longest time, but the more I use it the more I realize how non ergonomic it is for the hands the way it has you bend your hands to grasp it, and with my hand pains I think picking something less straining will be more for me.

 

[Chrono.]

How much is the Bank fee again?

5 bucks a year.

[Mythra]

Having the National Dex in the Bank and not in the SM games is kinda lame imo.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Although I should add, it required a minimum of $10 being added to your account, then took the $5.01 out of that

You know how Gen 1 had a bunch of TMs not in any other gen? Any of them useful competetivley? Best I can think of is Tri Attack.

Can't you just pass Fissure as an Egg Move to a non-HA Machop or isn't that possible?

It can't learn Fissure at all in future generations.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Aren't 1HKO moves banned?

 

[Wario Bros.]

I still wonder when Generation II will hit Virtual Console (the only generation that can't connect to Pokémon Bank now)? It can't be on its 20th anniversary like Green/Red/Blue/Yellow did as I ain't waiting November 2019

 

[Mythra]

Softboiled is best Gen I TM
Only useful for two mon lol.

If you hate fun, then yes
If you don't care about what a bunch of salty players have to say, then no

I just realized that a Smash Bros. accurate Pikachu is now possible.

-Catch one in RB
-Teach it Skull Bash via TM
-Transfer to SM
-Teach it Volt Tackle via Move Tutor
-Add Thunder and Quick Attack to complete the moveset.

But Thunder Jolt doesn't exist

But Thunder Shock and Thunder Wave do, thanks to Smash 4.

 

[praline]

Pokemon can't have 5 moves so who cares.

 

[Mythra]

But Thunder Jolt doesn't exist

That's why I put Volt Tackle instead.
