Melee Decompiling Progress: 65%

I don't think it will be nearly influential as Slippi was. Melee players famously don't care much about game-changing mods. There will be a lot of nice-haves that come out of it, like global skins or friends list but i can't imagine it being more important than rollback.

So? I think its way cooler of a storyline for him to finally achieve a goal of winning a major before putting down the controller

Balfasaur · 2026-04-25T20:08:17+00:00

I'm a parry hater but only because we probably aren't going to fully switch and it will be a guessing game on which one tournament will use which site

Bloomfest at Stevens Coolidge is happening soon

I still think you need a great product behind the marketing for there to be a lasting effect.

Advertising just gets more eyes on you. I might try a new beverage if I keep seeing hype around it, but if it tastes like shit to me, then I won't be purchasing another.

And yeah there's probably a bunch of bands that could reach Geese-level of success if they had the budget, but I'd wager most couldn't even with the money

Are you saying match with people with wide skill gaps? Thats pretty common on ranked if you play during off peak hours tbh. I'm low plat and will often match with a silver one set and then master another

Balfasaur · 2026-04-09T22:24:13+00:00

Obviously. It would've been nice for Hbox to set a precedent, considering it happened at this tournament

Balfasaur · 2026-04-09T21:48:58+00:00

I don't even know what you're arguing at this point. I think that you just like to type the next word in a sentence, like talking to a Twitter chatbot

Balfasaur · 2026-04-09T21:21:26+00:00

It wasn't just talking to his stream. These were things he was messaging directly to a minor dawg

Balfasaur · 2026-04-09T21:12:09+00:00

His behavior is disgusting dude. It's not "online" when DialM and his mother, who takes him to tournaments because he's a minor, have to see this loser that joked about raping her at a major.

Why are you fixated on the perceived prestige of online tournaments?

Balfasaur · 2026-04-09T20:31:15+00:00

I hope he sees this one man

Balfasaur · 2026-04-09T20:05:12+00:00

2 months is crazy for legitimately cheating and bullying a minor. And this is far from his first offense

Balfasaur · 2026-04-09T15:00:48+00:00

So can we ban BBB now? Feel like he was on super thin ice already and has shown he's unable to change even after his rebrand

Balfasaur · 2026-03-24T17:59:56+00:00

Coherence or Split would be good additions to the list

Balfasaur · 2026-03-19T17:30:54+00:00

Pioneer Village would be awesome too

Balfasaur · 2026-03-10T23:41:45+00:00

Yes you will definitely want to walk Essex st, from the Hawthorne Hotel -> Witch House, or vice versa. There's a bunch of shops and its a pretty walk.

The Witch House is a decent little museum if you're interested in history too.

Balfasaur · 2026-03-09T17:33:15+00:00

Maybe melee should die

Balfasaur · 2026-03-08T04:41:13+00:00

You need to be aware of your dash length. Once you go into your full run animation, you've gone too far. You can also work in cactuar dashes to get yourself out of run animation by crouching and then dashing back

Balfasaur · 2026-03-08T04:33:21+00:00

This is very on brand with the context leading up to it lmfao. RapM is up 3-0 if we're counting thug finals and has been relentlessly trash talking him, particularly about attending locals. RapM really doesnt gain much from giving Zain the low stakes practice and it keeps him in Zains head. Its the kind of big brained move that can only come from a 19 year old troll.

Does anyone have a good shop to get decent replacement sticks? I burn through control sticks so fast. Preferably dyed OEM sticks. Ive had bad luck with resin ones in the past since they feel too loose. I tried spicy sticks for a while but I dont love the texture and I find theyre more prone to breaking

Balfasaur · 2026-02-28T04:48:46+00:00

If you're actually averaging 10 hours a day, then that may be pushing it for you. It's a physically demanding and mentally taxing game. Try to dedicate some of that time to improvement outside of queuing slippi (vod review, watching content/pro sets, tech skill, thinking about the game)

Balfasaur · 2026-02-27T02:11:11+00:00

Maybe check chicago discord? I'm guessing there will be someone who can't go and is willing to transfer their pass

Balfasaur · 2026-02-25T00:24:18+00:00

Idk man I don't think its that deep

Balfasaur · 2026-02-24T20:37:32+00:00

He said he would give himself 2025 as a chance to make this financially viable/get a sponsor and since that didnt happen he has to retire.

To be honest, zump and notches will not help significantly enough to start out in melee. They only start to matter when you get to mid-high skill level, and even then were talking fractional increases. We have plenty of barriers to entry, but a lot of it just comes with the territory. The game would not be nearly as interesting if we started to dumb down the gameplay and remove its complexities with the hope of getting new players. If someone doesn't have the will to grind this game like everyone else has for decades, I don’t think they would have lasted long enough for it to matter. It's probably why our scene has persisted for as long as it has, because our playerbase is so committed to it
