I swear.. regardless of what GSP my character is at (from 2.4-3.3 million GSP), I always get someone that's at like... 3.4 million + GSP. And the characters I see the most are :ultlucina: and :ultganondorf:.

Btw, what GSP does your :ultlucina: have right now?

Also, as to why you see the G-man and the Top Tier so much, Ganondorf is apparently the most used character in Elite Smash (probably due to his ease of use a la Sm4sh Mario) and Lucina just won Genesis

So I played VERY little of Corrin at the end of For's lifespan, but she still feels really good in this game. Her kill move options were hurt by the sideB sweet spot nerf and the lack of a pivotsmash, but the overall pace of Ultimate and her excellent run/air speed seem to make up for a fair bit of that.

I'm no expert but how else was she needed into oblivion? I still see her fairly often in competitive videos.

Oblivion might be An overexaggeration.
She's Just not as amazing as she was. She used to be top 10, barely top 25 now.

I hate Ganondorf. He is hands down my least favorite character to play against. Like, he shouldn't be nerfed or anything, but I simply keep getting caught by up smash, or trying to punish forward smash and getting shield grabbed because the move has no endlag.

I mean I'd say Phantom Blood is outright bad and I would argue Stardust Crusaders is a bit bad so don't play that card

That’s honestly a piping hot take.

Capitalism encourages competition for a number of different industries, which is what drives the main pillars of our economy today. We have major advancements in technology and various other areas because of the fact that competition has fueled that.

UNCHECKED capitalism is where it goes South, which is where I believe we are. Unchecked socialism is just as bad though.

There’s also the fact that there are various racial, gender, and socioeconomic issues caused because of capitalism, but going purely socialist doesn’t solve that.

Equality should come in the form of everyone having a fair shake, and having the equal opportunity to succeed and achieve their dreams. Right now we don’t have that, and pure, unchecked capitalism won’t allow for it. Some movements toward socialism might, but a system of pure socialism isn’t the answer either, in my humble opinion.

I’m saying this as a progressively minded individual, mind you.

See what I mean? The only good thing you mention of capitalism is the competitiveness it causes and thus advancements in technology when that's not a necessarily good thing nor is it inherent to capitalism.
How do you think humanity advanced so far before capitalism? The majority of human history is without its presence, in fact, so it's clear we don't need it to continue living.
Humans don't need a system that puts everyone against each other, advancements come from necessity, if we need it, we'll make it, there's no need for a system to force us to advance when said competitiveness gives us products that aren't accessible anyways or ones that aren't as good as they could be if money wasn't the sole motivator for it.

Ethical capitalism is a myth and it cannot exist in a system that allows singular people to hold more wealth than the rest of the world population. It doesn't matter how hard you try because the wealth the system promises you is only attainable through exploitation of others.

And even assuming everyone had the exact same starting conditions and all that mattered was their own "merit", it won't work for future generations. The children that would be born would only have as much opportunities as their parents allow. Is it fair for a child to starve because of the circumstances they were born into?

How can you justify a system than only sustains itself through the exploitation of others? How can you justify a system that bases your worth on how much money you can produce? How can you justify a system that will refuse to give basic human necessities(food, water, clothes, houses) despite them being plenty available? How can you justify a system that will let you die just because it deemed you to be "unproductive"?

Well I actually think the reason Ganondorf is so hard to punish is simply because of the extra input lag that comes from online.

Those extra few frames make quite the difference, and there's a reason why people consider heavyweights lag-buffed. Pair that with his ease of use, and he's pretty tough to deal with sometimes. It's also partially the reason K.Rool was used so much after launch (well, that and his noob stomping kit)

tfw I can't surpass my record with Mega Man as Zelda.

Input delay seriously screws up my neutral game with her. I had a big stupid grin on my face when I beat a Pikachu with Isabelle too. It was so close and the doggo isn't even one of my best characters. Pikachu mains on Elite tend to run off whenever they win too, the ********...

i'm pretty convinced it was starlink's racing minigame that got caught/seen out of context and massively warped by hearsay

Eh that sounds just a bit too ridiculous for me, especially since Starlink's racing thing is like a Starlink thing and not exclusively for the Star Fox characters
The whole idea sounds like the "what if leakers confused Erdrick in Smash for Dai in Jump Force" thing
Like it's just leakbait, sounds pretty simple and clean to me

The big reason on why I believe that SFGP was leakbait was the fact that it was rumored to be made by Retro Studios. Starlink has nothing to do with Retro, and Retro isn't making Star Fox Grand Prix, since their on Prime 4.

Obviously communism doesn't work, but people only want these radical shifts from the system in place in the US because it doesn't work. It is straight up broken and favors those who are excessively wealthy. There is no excuse for medication to be in a competitive marketplace. There is no excuse for healthcare in general to be anything other than free, or at the very least a lot more affordable.

Here's the thing.

If the UK and Canada can have affordable healthcare, then there's no reason other countries can't.

That being said, under the NHS, we definitely have affordable healthcare, but it's not "free"; in mainland UK, visiting a Doctor is free, but you have to pay for your prescriptions (and the prescriptions can be very expensive); where I live, prescriptions are free, but you still have to pay to visit a Doctor.

Also, it's all paid for by taxes (so even then someone is still paying for it).

Retro hasn’t been working on Prime for the past 5 years. They just started on it. We still don’t know what they were actually doing for FIVE YEARS.

"Communism/socialism doesn't work in practice" is the propaganda I'm talking about. Of ****ing course it doesn't work in a CAPITALIST WORLD, the exact same would happen to a capitalist country in a majorly socialist world. Especially when there are countries actively trying to dismantle said system.
Comunism only "hurts" the rich and by hurt I mean "makes them live in the same conditions as everyone else" which is why you see so much propaganda against it.

Also, please stop using post-Stalin URSS as evidence it doesn't work and instead look at how it was before he took charge. Venezuela, North Korea, China, whatever you wanna call "socialists" aren't actually socialists, they're just dictatorships. And no, that's not a flaw that "makes socialism more susceptible to dictatorships" because those aren't inherent to any economical system as many countries can attest to.

So instead of some people being super happy and some people be super miserable you want everyone to be miserable with no chance of getting better.

Fair. How about this then.

Both systems have big flaws. I don’t think a pure version of either system is the answer. I think we need to look at both and cherry pick the best parts of each, trying to make a system that will work for everyone.

Woah y'all am I seeing politics in here?

Let's go back to like fishing and being angry at Sakurai for looking to the side wrong.
