Ya, I'm pretty sure the Brawl forced grab breaks are still in. Happens sometimes when I grab D3 and pummel too quick, guessing from snagging him out of the air or from an FoD platform

I don't think it was a forced grab break since nana hit lucas which should of caused the grab to break anyway.

You see the damage happen to lucas as well in the gif.

So what course of action would be taken if this bug popped up in a tourney?
Hopefully you'd be annihilating the Lucas player badly enough so that sort of thing never happened.
Adapt, stop whining. He's flowchart as hell, and the people who play him never adjust beyond a general set of tactics/specific moves for scenario.


This is a stupid running gag.

So I kinda did a write up of how I think the universe begins, ends, and begins anew. Not tongue in cheek. Relatively well researched. Anyone interested?

So to begin, the concept of the singularity is that the universe began impossibly small, impossibly dense, in one pocket.

Imagine a future in which all stars have eventually become one of the two things they reasonably can become, those being black holes, or anything else (supernova), the latter being eventual food for the aforementioned byproduct.

My line of reasoning is that, while the scope of things that can happen in the universe is immeasurable, the amount of matter in the universe is finite, and by the inherent capabilities of any and all black holes, the final result of all things in the universe is fixed.

The way to look at it is that black holes have an all-devouring sphere of influence. They take in all matter, in all directions, and gain more mass for the matter they take in. So matter eaten = mass gained = sphere of gravitational consuming influence expanded = matter eaten = etcetera.

So with all stars either becoming an all consuming aberration, or fuel for that thing, that means that there would exist an event horizon in which the universe is populated by black holes and excess mass only.

These black holes are slowly taking in more and more finite matter and expanding their sphere of influence to reach more matter for each amount of matter taken in.

Since these black holes would eventually meet just by virtue of their constant expansion, they interact in one of the two possible ways, which are a collision and repellant effect, or a combining.

Say now that you run the numbers game on the universe. Everything eventually becomes an ever-expanding black hole, or interstellar matter to be devoured by one of these black holes.

My proposition is that the only possible eventual result of this plane of black holes drawing each other towards each other, and over time combining, is the creation of one final black hole with all the matter of the universe contained in the hyper dense way that black holes contain matter.

The link is that the very first thing in the universe, a hyper dense, infinitely tiny, thing that held all matter, fits completely the description of the eventual byproduct of the functioning universe.

Food for thought.

Okay, so a couple of the problems with this is that it doesn't take into account Black Hole Evaporation, and that it assumes that the distribution of matter, given infinite time, will be returned to a single point, which greatly overestimates the strength of gravity whilst underplaying the role of entropy.

Have you factored in universal-scale cessation of existence being a possible end scenario?
The most likely possibility is no cycle; just a countdown.
False vacuum state shenanigans are relevant too.

Also, heat death.
Very important.

Finally.

Only took over half a decade.

Hey I like the couple of Tool songs I've heard. They're pretty cool. Dream Theater is better, but Tool is cool.

So run Black Hole Evaporation past me in simpler terms, and explain why the idea that black holes won't just expand their sphere of influence to encompass everything eventually.

I'd expect a cycle just because the universe started one way, and a cyclistic universe seems logical, though I could be completely wrong. And heat death pertinence. Give me deets.

When entropy stops as a process because transferring energy AKA doing work is impossible, THAT
is heat death.

Everything just... stops. Literally.
Movement is impossible; if you were airborne when this happens, you stay there, even after you expire.
Even gravity needs energy to do it's thing.(I think that's accurate in terms of the effects, need to re-read about it)
You can't even think to lament that you cannot move, and that you must scream, because thinking takes energy.
...It's a difficult thing to put into fittingly-ominous words.


Imagine it looking like time froze, like in fictional stuff. Total unawareness for those who aren't shielded from the effects, no motion whatsoever, the works.

It never unfreezes.
The end. Forever.
(trillions of years from now, of course)

...Close enough?

So...I may or may not have done something.

Tell me when you find it :3.

Not that I am convinced of it, but there is a theory that a cyclic universe could exist nonetheless because a state with the highest possible entropy (all matter dissolved into energy which is distributed equally over the entire universe) equals a state with zero entropy, since entropy basically says how chaotic something is. Also there would be no matter in it, and time is always relative to an observer. So if there is no matter, theres no time, and aren't these conditions as before the big bang.

Personally, both a cycle and a "countdown" seem plausible for me, but the theory of a multiverse containing several universes which start and stop existing convinces me most. I still hope string theory might be able to solve it because it also predicts a multiverse.

Multiverse?

I don't care, as long as the universe I am in allows me to toast more than 1 slice of bread at a time.

I really wonder what their policy in regards to alts are. Because so far, they've been inconsistent as ****.

So yesterday I went to Canada's wonderland and the funniest thing happened. I just got off the Leviathan and I this girl who also got off, was being a total drama queen and overreacting (saying she almost died and was crying). Then this old lady (maybe 60 years old) who also got off the Leviathan walked up to her, looked up and said "You sound like and old *****" and walked away. I was on the floor dying lmao.

I love all the alts so far so I'm not complaining.

And there is a level of consistency. All the costumes so far have appeared in their respective games.
The american Mario costume is taken from Mario Golf.

Oh I like them too, but we can't say that anyone saw most of them coming, which may be a good thing.

Waiting for Mr.L outfit to be confirmed.

I feel like Sakurai saw what Project M did, and decided to use that as sort of an inspiration. At least to expand on the costumes that players can choose from.
