this

also, it looks like Yoshi's Island Brawl got its tracklist switched too, unless im reading it incorrectly

fix dat **** too

please don't tell me that happened too

 

[CORY]

Question about the patchnotes: On some moves where they increased/decreased damage (like waft), it says knockback uncompensated. But due to how knockback is calculated, isn't knockback still going to be changed?

Uncompensated doesn't mean unchanged.

 

[Lizalfos]

buddy I'm not even saying anything about stale moves, I'm just commenting on the fact that it took fourteen ****ing years for these people to check whether or not fox was ****ing overpowered

you people don't even know how hard it's been for me to not call people sperglords BUT I'M TRYING

FOR YOU

Thanks, even though you basically did. I think they realize that Fox is really good. People talk about 20XX in Melee all the time, people don't like Armada switching, but then they just want to play their favorite version of their main where he is the best. And even though he plays the same in PM people feel like he in neutered completely just because of stat changes here and there and the removal of stupid invincibility on shine ect.

Edit: Another thing is that top 3 is all 50/50 or really close to 50/50 and the meta has just edged out everyone else. So it is more like Melee players realize that the top 3 are broken, because they are all 3 equally broken. Polarizing matchups don't ever play out in Melee because people are smart enough to not play characters worse than Falcon.

Edit: people complaining about the new announcer is getting old fast. You should know how to customize the announcer or at least know how to learn to. I honestly think that it is a sidegrade and you just have to get used to it. I also think that Fox sounds ok in Smash 4 tho so idk.

 

[Grey Belnades]

• The new announcer isn't strong enough.

The PMDT knows what they need to do now.

@Warchamp7 Be sure to address Roman Reigns as "His Stronglyness" when you ask him on Twitter.

Thoughts on the new announcer?

Indifferent.

 

[Lizalfos]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

The people who are complaining clearly didn't play 3.5 in the first place so nothing was lost.

@ Leafeon @Jolteon @ Soft Serve @fuxmainz is shining people from under platforms into grab or aerials affected by air shine change so that no longer functions or does it still work in effect?

@ Leafeon @Jolteon @ Soft Serve @fuxmainz is shining people from under platforms into grab or aerials affected by air shine change so that no longer functions or does it still work in effect?

Doing it into an aerial should be easier I think [e; at lower percents, harder at higher percents], dunno about the grab

 

[Lizalfos]

I'm Going to test a bunch in the morning because it seems to me that the biggest Fox change is no jab->usmash otherwise he basically plays identically.


BTW, @SpiderMad you should put that not like Melee hotline video on reddit. Or at least make it public so I can.

here's the rant I just posted to Facebook about Jurassic World

Spoiler

alright so Jurassic World

The most poignant opinion I've read about Jurassic World so far has been;

"Jurassic World is like if a nine-year-old tried to summarize the plot of Jurassic Park to you."

The first and most important criticism of this dumb movie is all of the stuff that you're just supposed to accept as reality even though it's ****in' ridiculous. Like, I know - this is a movie about dinosaurs being alive again , some suspension of disbelief required - and for dinosaurs, I'm willing to overlook a lot of stuff.

But, a plot about somebody trying to sell raptors to the military, and literally anybody thinking that this is a good idea?

Strapping a GoPro on a raptor's head so you can see where they're looking (the raptors have side facing eyes - they're never looking where their heads are facing)?

Two kids somehow knowing how to fix a thirty-year-old jeep, which at some point was presumably attacked by dinosaurs? (I don't know if you guys noticed, but that scene was a throwback to the originals - I mean, there was a twenty second zoom on the old logo and other intermittent shots of various props from the movie as if to say HELLO YES THIS IS A SEQUEL TO A MOVIE THAT YOU LIKED, but maybe that wasn't laying it on quite molasses-****ing-thick enough for you people.)

The woman protagonist spending the entire movie running away from dinosaurs in high ****ing heels?

The I-Rex hatching a plan to escape that involved clawing the tracking device in its back, even though it's physically impossible for it to reach its own back? And then the dumbass people in this movie falling for it because when it goes missing they decide to do something /other than check the ****ing tracking device/? Oh ****, there are claw marks on the wall outside that we can see through this glass window - better go outside to take a closer look at the claw marks, which will surely unravel this mystery posthaste!

The violence starts once the I-Rex eats some dumb schlubby security guard (apparently we gotta take a /real ass/ trip back to the nineties in this movie, where the easiest way to make someone appear incompetent is to make them heavyset), and it immediately occurs to me that I don't care about anybody in this movie.

Here's a list of actors and the characters they play in this movie;

Chris Pratt - Perfect Whiteguy. He's buff and sort of sweaty, and spends half the movie deciding whether or not he wants to have an accent. He doesn't have a backstory that matters, he never makes any mistakes and accomplishes half of his goals in the movie by kind-of-scowling at whatever is in his way - goals that include not getting eaten by dinosaurs, boning Bryce Dallas Howard, and having audiences everywhere adore him. I'm sure you can empathize with at least... one of those, right?

Bryce Dallas Howard - Frozen Bitchqueen. Not to be confused with Elsa from Disney's Frozen, (unless you think about it a little). Is almost frighteningly sexy and implied to be very competent, until the whole plot of the movie happens entirely because she's not. Falls for Perfect Whiteguy because of course she does. Her backstory involves a vaguely implied difficulty with social relationships (because a competent woman isn't capable of being competent without sacrificing some other crucial aspects of her humanity, of course), wherein the audience is supposed to hope that she can find it in herself to accept a woman's true place in society, which is to be overly maternal to some dumb kids. Gets a moment halfway through the movie where she shoots a dinosaur, probably to show audiences that she is in fact a Strong Female Character™, and then promptly returns to being a damsel in distress for the rest of the movie.

Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins - Zeck and Grub Lumpkin. Two kids that are sent by their soon-to-be-divorced parents to an island full of dinosaurs, presumably to save themselves the custody battle. The older one is a vaguely pubescent whiteboy, so he spends roughly half the movie staring at girls and trying to look cool. The young one is a young one, so he's obsessed with dinosaurs and precocious. They exist to be threatened by dinosaurs, and not one scene whereupon this happens actually matters, because anyone whose actually seen any of these movies knows they're not about to let some dinos chomp on some kids (unless it's offscreen). They also happen to be the nephews of Frozen Bitchqueen, and she spends the first half of the movie ignoring them and the second half screaming at them to run.

Vincent D'Onofrio - Buck Tightpants. A moustache-twirling military man who wants to sell dinosaurs as military weapons, and somehow Wile E. Coyote's his way into not dying until halfway through his "here is my evil plan" speech at the end. In keeping tradition with the film's 90s aesthetic, he's somewhat portly so that the audience knows he's Not Good.

Irrfan Khan - Simon Masrani. The guy who owns the park. He's literally the only interesting character in this movie and they kill him off partway through, presumably just to spite me personally.

Omar Sy - Mr. Popo. Perfect Whiteguy's black sidekick. Can communicate with the raptors with what I can only assume is a combination of voodoo, secret herbs and spices, and a traditional African dance. He almost dies, but then he doesn't, probably because they realized that other people already died, and there's no point in killing the black dude unless he dies first.

B.D Wong - Dr. Hank Nostalgia. Is from the first movie. He makes the dinosaurs, for reasons. He also plans to sell them to Buck Tightpants for his military plan, also for reasons (here, let me save you the trouble - the reason is because he's stupid).

Jake Johnson - You ****ing People. Spends the entire movie talking about how good Jurassic Park was and being a moron. He's literally you people, all of you ONLY 90S KIDS ********. I hate him and I hate you, you diD THIS TO ME-

Jimmy Fallon - The Indominus Rex. Is a dinosaur with near-human levels of intelligence, which obviously means it's going to kill everything it comes near - I don't know whether or not this is painfully cynical or depressingly on-point, considering how much of this movie is spent watching angry looking pale men put their guns together.

Seriously, though - look how much of this movie was about people fighting dinosaurs with guns. Look how many scenes there were that were about dudes with guns going to shoot dinosaurs. Why did they keep sending guys in to shoot the dinosaur when the first set of guys shooting at it clearly didn't work? Why were there so many guys who thought that, no, if I just /keep shooting/ the dinosaur that's about to eat me, surely I won't be unceremoniously killed? I know the answer to these questions, and so should you, but you clearly ****ing don't, so let me just tell you - it's because every character in this movie is an idiot.

Which brings me back to my point - I don't care about anybody in this movie. Perfect Whiteguy is cute and funny, so he's basically invincible, so none of the scenes where he's in danger carry any weight. Frozen Bitchqueen basically let all of this happen, so I spent the whole movie wishing she'd get eaten. The kids are kids, so every scene with them is /of course/ going to be them in a convenient protective bubble where the monster can /almost, but not quite/ get at them. And it occurs to me as I write this that I say protective bubble metaphorically, but there's /literally a ****ing protective bubble around them/ when they're first attacked, for ****'s sake.

And the plot itself is forgettable - I mentioned already that the "I'll make raptorguns for the army and make one quadrillion dollars" plot is ****ing moronic, but even the third act twist is predictable bull****. Oh, you can't tell us what dinosaurs were spliced into the I.Rex? Maybe it's the velociraptor, the only dinosaur that at this point in canon that still has a negative public opinion, to the point where there are no raptor exhibits and the only raptor production program is tightly under wraps and is about trying to train raptors to kill people (presumably those goddamn terrorists)? The only dinosaur that audiences can remember that has side-set eyes (unlike the T-Rex) and long, dextrous arms? The only other dinosaur portrayed in the series as being notably intelligent?

Why is the plot twist being predictable a bad thing? Because it means we had forty ****ing minutes of build-up of dudes angrily getting their guns ready to go try to shoot the I.Rex to death (again) except /this time/ with the ****ing raptors... who are obviously going to turn on them at the last second, 'cause of course they ****ing are (why else would they spend so much time pointing out that Perfect Whiteguy was the alpha, if only so something /else/ could later become the alpha). So we finally get that scene we've been waiting for the whole ****ing chore of a movie where Perfect Whiteguy rides into battle with his team of raptors, and it turns out that now I don't ****ing care, 'cause I know it's just gonna end with the raptors turning on him. And what a surprise, so it does.

This is the part where you're probably ****ing saying, "why don't you just turn off your brain and enjoy the movie for what it is", or something similarly embarassing. First of all, you're an idiot. Second of all, a dumb movie can be engaging. A movie can just be mindless action with no "artistic" value, and still be a fun time. In fact, a recent other movie with Chris Pratt is the perfect example - Guardians of the Galaxy. /That/ was a dumb movie - it's not subtle, it's not expressive, it's not really tangible in any particularly artistic way, and it's /still a fantastic movie/, because it's still ****ing /engaging/. You care about the characters, you're thrilled by the action, the happy parts are happy and the sad parts are sad and you walk away from the movie feeling /entertained/.

Contrast with this, where Perfect Whiteguy lacks the charm, substance or wit of Star-Lord. Frozen Bitchqueen lacks the strength, direction and depth of Gamora.

Groot is literally a tree that only says his own name /and he's a more interesting character than any person in Jurassic World/.

If I cut out any of the parts of Jurassic World that I don't care about, including any of the characters and anything they do, the goddamn avalanche of really serious get-your-guns-ready montages, the sweeping vistas of CGI dinosaurs that were way more impressive twenty ****ing years ago, and the countless constant throwbacks to the originals, what I have is twenty minute long fight scene between a T-Rex and another big white dinosaur, which you may in fact recognize as already being a scene from Jurassic ****ing Park 3 (except the Spinosaurus is way, way more awesome than the Indominus "Basically A Big Raptor" Rex).
And that movie was ****ing lambasted, even by some of the schlubs who keep telling me that /this/ movie was good, i.e the one that's bad for literally all of the same reasons except even worse 'cause there's an extra half hour of uuuuugh. And the climactic scene between the T.Rex and the I.Rex was /still terrible/, because the film's director is a fan of the style of action scenes that involves setting them at night where you can't ****ing see anything and then having seven hundred jump cuts a ****ing minute.

It's just... boring, and pointless, and stupid, and sad. It's a forgettable movie, even compared to the often-disparaged third one in the series - if it's basically the same mistakes that the crappy third movie made, then why is this a good movie? If it's the same mistakes that movie made /and also/ a lot of lazy subplots that don't matter, why is this a good movie?

Seriously, do any of you people know why this is a good movie? Do you actually have identifiable opinions about this other than "the box office numbers were high, so it must have been good"? Did you have the admittedly-wonderful tie-in blizzard from Dairy Queen, and how delicious it was incontrovertibly tinged your perception of the movie forever? Please tell me, 'cause I'm a huge fan of dinosaurs and movies that involve dinosaurs and I'm trying really hard to see how this movie was in any way something other than a ****stain on what was otherwise a pretty-good set of movies, and I just ****in' can't. I've unfortunately, unabashedly, unrepentantly become someone who actually knows what they're ****ing talking about, and the casualty of the process is apparently my ability to enjoy the sludge that Hollywood pours from its gaping, fetid asshole into our cinemas.

I'm just a little upset that this is what passes for a box-office smash - this is literally the first time in history that something making box office records is straight-up a bad movie, and that's frankly pretty ****in' concerning.

(Presumably this is the point where somebody recites some vacuous adage about opinions being opinions, but can you just save me the ****ing trouble and go watch this movie again instead? I promise you, we'll both be a lot happier.)

When I saw the movie, I noticed all these same things, but it was really enjoyable for me regardless. I think that the characters get away with being boring because I'm focusing on the dinosaurs. I'm telling myself, I'm protective big brother, imaginative genius child, perfect cool guy white dude, does it all high strung Elsa ***** woman who should slow down and sympathize (because I really am perfect in real life). I'm running and fighting the dinos, so all that matters is that the scenes feel intense. The military contractors was an excuse for OP Dino powers and opens to more sequels.

Edit: I figured out why this movie wasn't deep enough for you. http://www.theonion.com/video/onion-reviews-jurassic-world-50640

I learned a lot a lot today. Got multiple kills in friendlies with drop cancel upairs so I'm happy about that. Also my combo game when I'm conscious of my choices is getting so much better, and I'm finally foxing focusing (Lol that 2am Freudian slip) properly for longer and longer long-term sessions. Once I force myself to stop jumping on tech chases when I throw for position, I think I can reliably zero to death a lot of the cast. Diddy's MU spread changes significantly due to other characters getting changed, going to look at my old MU chart and change things in the morning. Tl:Dr though, samus/peach near unwinnable, wario/squirtle are harder, but wolf is very manageable now and fox is actually feasible to face. Also lucario got bopped and it's great

As the best Yoshi main in PM I hereby decree Jurassic World was super cool and that dinos eating and killing people is a wonderful thing 10/10 would touch Chris Pratt's sexy chest

I can't whine about it because I didn't watch the movie yet.

In fact I haven't even seen Jurassic Park.

Too busy playing videa to watch movies.

today I learned that people have an acronym for today I learned

like did you learn to communicate entirely through festering message boards filled with children? are you actually, in fact, a child? or are you maybe just that dumb? ? ?

Holy **** PMS stay out of my dreams.

Last night's dream was really weird. So it turns out that PMDT put this song from the first Spongebob move in 3.6 called "So By My By" (Or something like that, I can't remember the name well enough but it isn''t a real song anyways). People got ridiculously hype for some reason; the subreddit was blowing up with excitement. Like seriously every post was on it. I went over to @ Frost | Odds house despite never interacting with him even on the internet, and him, his wife, and I listened to the Spongebob song. It turns out that it was essentially the same as Chic's I'll Be There; the chorus is 1:1 but the verses were a tiny bit different. There were other people there but I forget who, but the entire visit was essentially Odds getting excited over the Spongebob song.

Then I left, and I ended up on my street in the middle of the night. I was in a really weird state of mind, it felt like I was awake but at the same time sleeping in my dream, I was still very much asleep in reality. I had this inner monologue talking about walking about during the night. It was June 30th, and I was irritated because it was cloudy outside, which means I couldn't have seen Jupiter and Venus at their closest together this year

Afterwards is probably the weirdest part of the dream. It sorta just cuts to this, I have dreams in different parts. So I'm in my room and these people started surrounding our house. I have a shotgun in a box and start to set it up in fear of these people trying to hurt me. As I look out the window, I see some of these people load into the car to attempt a driveby on my house. I run out of my back door before it's too late, but these people stop me. They 'capture' me (I honestly just followed them), and they lead me onto this big motorcycle with pots of mac and cheese and cheese and cheesy food on it. There's about 10 other people on these motorcycles with other foods, with this older guy being the head of the group. We're basically a motorcycle group that just keeps on riding down my road, and if we're hungry we just eat the food on our bikes. The bikes run on water (or at least I think, the boss guy had a hose from his bike that shot clear liquid that the bikes ran on), and seriously all we did was drive in a straight line down my never ending road for what seemed like forty minutes.

I ended up not being able to catch up to them eventually, and there was a friend of mine from elementary school who was driving with us that couldn't either. The bike gang didn't even seem to notice so we ran back to friend's house, somehow being on his street now. He couldn't let me inside, and told me that I had to go home. Now, I turn into Tommy from Rugrats but that Tommy wasn't me, I unconsciously adopted a god's third point of view I guess. Now as a cartoon, Tommy walks to the end of the street seeing all his neighbors and friends. He gets onto his porch, falls, asleep, but it's his birthday or something and everyone he saw on his walk home gathers around. One woman puts a calculator in an envelope as a gift, and they give it for him to open. That was the end.

whos down to inject some illegal marinara tablets?

Meipooper listen to Daft Punk's album Discovery; you'll prob like it. There's an official anime film adapted for it called Interstella 5555 where the only audio is the album played through fully if you want to watch that too.

this seems very character dependent with regard to how better this is compared to wavedashing into the ledge (and both of these are around the same difficult in terms of techskill, so that doesn't mean much). basic personal testing is showing that MK's wavedash into the ledge is still noticeably faster

e: wait you can literally just hold horizontally towards the edge after getting the turnaround animation lmao. it's still the slower option, but a thousand times easier

Honestly seems pretty unnecessary, but at the same time, it's one less input and doesn't require you to jump. So I guess it's something.

On an unrelated note, I started playing Shining Soul II again today. Man, I forgot how fun this game was.

Who the **** is the PMBR?

I only know about the glorious PMDT which has brought good balance changes.

@ Strong Badam the brothers chaps are making goofy shorts on disney xd's youtube channel and this one is just straight-up something you'd see in a sbemail making fun of children's cartoons

@ Lizalfos

My brother also likes TF2, dude. Didn't even know he had a Twitter lol.

will there at least be purely platonic displays of affection afterwards?

@ Strong Badam now that it has released can I ask what is was that you were most excited for? Before you couldn't mention it. I'm guessing it was the Wario Man thing, though.
