Have you read this post yet? I'm curious to hear your thoughts and opinions, because I think it's one of the most well-thought out posts that I've seen on Smashboards for a long time.
I still don't get why people say Melee is like jazz

It's honestly more like someone took a bass guitar and scraped their nails across it while it was connected to an a (read: sound like ass)

Dem controlls be way too gross

Real talk tho, I would say PM/Melee was more of an electronic nature. But I think the only people that could understand the way I see it is if they can perceive sound in three dimentions

I don't think it's right to compare Melee to music you only half pay attention to while falling asleep (yes I have) when there are other Smash games that fit the bill. :tired:

It's just the same tired concept that jazz is all about improvisation while other musical genres are all about keeping to form but made into a fighting game comparison.

I actually once compared smash to a canvas, dunno what I said exactly, was trying to explain **** to some casuals
TL;DR: never explain **** to casuals, just play

My left thumb doesn't move fast enough or accurately enough on the 3DS Control stick
my left hand is a pleb. it doesn't have fast enough speeds or precision.

I played lefty on guitar hero because my left hand couldn't press the buttons fast enough.
I write left handed and play instruments lefty, but I throw right handed. I want to say my Right hand would be faster for this supposed 3ds control stick movement, but my left hand might just be fatigued lol.

Nothing deserves to be compared to Melee. The closest things are the good songs people used in good combo videos. Each combo video with a good song highlights certain aspects of Melee and that person's play with the song.

@ SpiderMad SpiderMad , had an opportunity to play for a bit last night. I have to say the only thing that is difficult about the sh-bair --> dj 2x bair is the pre-requisite QuickDraw-->rar, I swear I can't seem to avoid c-sticking the jump direction instead of the early bair lol, it feels easier to do in this version XD Then again I only had the opportunity to mess around for like a half hour, still it is kind of cool to input a full-momentum rar with the c-stick.
Are you able to record your TV? Where you able to get it? I want you to do and record this, and you don't even have to QD first if you feel that's the hard part: SH Bair DJ Bair Nair Bair (getting the hitbox out) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gBDctEu8Hg#t=208

I don't use the C-stick for the first early aerial, unless it doesn't require to be super early like Falco's Bair.

I don't understand how you're getting trouble with the QD rar with your wording/explanation.

It was very well written and captured a lot of melee players emotions in a way they may not know how to express properly. I enjoyed the read.

Any other fellow Hyrule Warriors players get the DLC yet? Twili Midna is incredible. One of my absolute favorite characters now. Also hope you all have a happier Thanksgiving for fellow Americans. I gotta work a ten hour shift at my restaurant next to a Wal-mart that's having Black Friday, and a mall down the road. Whoopdee do.

Wasn't dribbling invented because basketball is the sport of passing the ball and you can't move whilst holding the ball so lmao **** the rules I'm gonna pass the ball to myself over and over again. I mean I have absolutely no interest in physical sports where the meta game is defined by having good gear and using steroids to train harder and there's no development to the meta ever, but that seems like a fundamental middle finger to the original rules, not a development.

Basketball's origins are as a basket-oriented version of handball; the only way to advance the ball was to pass to other players, as moving with the ball in hand wasn't allowed.

The basic rules came from the idea that a) sports like football or American football were too rough for an indoor environment, and b) letting players move with the ball tended to force strategy to revolve around giving the fastest or strongest player the ball and defending them. Making the focus of the game passing in between players forced all players to be coordinated at all times, and to work with each other in a manner in which all players are of the same value.

Players decided to "pass to themselves" in games, using a bounce pass - this forced players who wanted to move with the ball to have an extra, specific kind of coordination, ensuring that team-based play wouldn't suffer if an individual player was allowed to move with the ball (as unlike things like strength or speed, manipulating the ball is a skill). The rules were eventually solidified in that players weren't allowed to move after ceasing an initial movement, so that teamwork and individual coordination are as important as each other.

I admire the poster's passion, but sports and games don't usually have rules "just because". The idea of entry-barrier mechanics like l-canceling - "it's here just to make it harder" - is something unique to video games, and are always very poorly justified.

It just hit me that I couldn't get side-b attack>falling uair to work on my roommate's wario because Diddy's release point is character dependent, based on their height. I knew it was a thing because I do it do his zard all the time but my god do I feel really really stupid now.
Almost as stupid as forgetting popgun>instant AGT of the peanut was a thing till mad told me last night.

Diddy's moonwalk is so god damn amazing, and so are his ledge wavelands. This character is too good.


my ex keeps sending me texts, and its taking all my will power to stop myself from just telling her to **** off.

Sorry to ruin your fun, but I was thinking that maybe what happened in Ferguson doesn't primarily represent racism in America, but perhaps a greater problem in the US.

The absurdity of the American criminal justice system. How we have the largest incarcerated population in the world. How the system is stacked against the accused in many ways due to the heavy over legislation. The quantity of the laws isn't the only problem though, it is how loosely they are written, in the end judges are defining the laws based on case by case situations that might not reflect the original intent of the legislation.

What Ferguson demonstrates is that police, as part of the system, also get a special kind of protection. If I remember correctly, in recent history there have been 14 killings of unarmed civilians in Missouri by law enforcement. None of these cases were investigated.

So what we see is a vicious criminal justice system for everyone and police brutality that goes unchecked.

Is the situation worse for people of color? I'd say yes, but I feel like this conversation isn't primarily about race because not all of the 14 unarmed people killed by police were African American.

Even if race is the primary issue, why ignore the massive secondary issue? That there are no legal systems in place to protect you from police brutality or the tyranny of the legal system.

Edit: Is Falco's moonwalk any good? I think that I saw PPMD using it at SKTAR3 vs Mango Winners Finals.
Edit2: @ Bleck Bleck you are right about dribbling. There are situations to not L-cancel and L-canceling has some counter play with shield angles.

Multi-walking sounds cool, but I have no idea what you actually mean by that.
What's your guess after viewing the video. I just made up the term, more like Multi-MW.

People are watching the videos right lol

l-canceling really doesn't have counterplay. angling your shield does not change the window by 6 frames in any case, so their timing can simply account for all shield angle possibilities. the number of situations that l-canceling is NOT The best situation is less than 0.1%, as well, so you're justifying the mechanic by a thread and nothing more. the increased accessibility of smash where l-canceling just happens by the game is far more valuable than whatever minuscule "added depth" there is from l-canceling being manual.

I'll get on watching these videos soon.

I'm doing aerials on shield stuff right now, Diddy has a lot of cool options for shield pressure. they're not perfect but only off by a frame or two, not 100% sure if all of them were fresh.
All strong hits
Dair: 7 hitlag, 9 shieldstun, -4 on shield (hit last airborne frame
Fair:8 lag, 8 stun, -6 on shield
Nair: 7 lag, 7 stun, -3
Bair: 7 lag, 7 stun, -2
Uair: 7 lag, 7 stun -3

Banana tosses look like they have basically the same shield data fresh, they do 6.5% and 8% so I guess the math just works out so that weak tosses and smash tosses are the same. Haven't really tested it when its stale, because all item tosses stale together, and its not the banana but the throwing itself that goes stale. Once they start doing like, 4-5 dmg its not as great.
These are weird too because the banana and diddy dont go into hitlag, only the person shielding, so I think the hitlags are basically more sheild stun unless I'm being stupid.
Banana on shield: 5 hitlag, 5 shieldstun. All tosses -9 on shield, running toss -29 on shield (these are messing me up, dont know if I should include hitlag. Also, these are implying that the frame the banana leave diddy's hand is when it hits shield, which is never really what happens).
Edit edit: Still cant do math/count frames correctly. Tosses should only be -3/4 at point blank, running toss - 23/24, confident on it this time.

But whats litterally insane, and I've been saying this for a while, is how stupid z-dropping bananas on shield is. Diddy and the Banana dont go into hitlag. I've been saying this for at least 10 months, but now I have the frame data to prove it.
Zdrop bananas are +5 on shield fresh, man. Diddy 2 broke
^^^^^ edit for clarity: They are +10 because 10 frames of shieldstun, but if you want your ground options you have to drop it 1 frame above the ground, then have 4 frames of regular landing lag.

We're highjacking the Social thread, because we talk more about diddy here than the diddy boards are active

please say shiedstun instead of hitstun when referring to hitting a shield, also your "shieldstun" values are actually hitlag + shieldstun.
for future reference:
(damage + 4.45)/2.235, round down for shieldstun

Yeah those were all just me typing in hitstun instead of shield stun. edited it. And I accounted the hitlag into the sheild stun when factoring landing lag for advantage. I'm honestly not sure which way to put it because i've seen it referenced both ways in different threads. Edited it.
This is why I'm posting it to mad in the social thread instead of making new thread haha, like 85% chance I said at least one thing wrong

Iirc @ Hylian Hylian posted that cool gif of him comboing bowser with dysncs and one part was caused by purposefully missing an l cancel

How often is that necessary, missing an l cancel as ICs?

I did, I just thought that every character with a moon walk had a 'multi-walk'
Nah, someone like Marth can do Walk to MW, but going for another dash goes too far to keep going backwards even with TAS I think.

Same with Ike (at least not when I tried to when he had somewhat of a MW, now he doesn't at all after they increased his dash distance in 2.5)
it's more like a Pluto walk

It's smaller and not really a MW like it's not really a planet (except technically it is a MW)
