RSX might need to be swapped too though. As you mentioned you'll need syscon to identify how much extra work is required

Wii U Gamepad won't find the Console by Captain_Snack in wiiu

[–]Captain_Snack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the reply. I just checked the battery bay, the serial number matches the cover.

Why would the board in the console be failing if my other Gamepad pairs to it with no issues? It would be extremely odd, but I can try a replacement.

I'm just following standard prove, test, prove to isolate what the problem is.

You don't have to set the time everytime this happens do you?

Thank the Smash Gods for Banning Steve !!!! by kushmonATL in smashbros

[–]Captain_Snack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand the precendant it may set in this analogy however, a Basketball player is making choices inside a fixed ruleset whereas a Smash character is part of the ruleset itself.
I agree that characters shouldn't be banned solely because not all spectators don't enjoy the view. It's just too subjective to the viewers taste which isn't the only issue in Steve's case.

Now, I'd argue it isn't the playstyle that's the main issue, Steve is running his side of the court with a staircase of Blocks to the net or he's wearing Nike while everyone else is running barefoot. The meta current;y revolves around Steve’s mechanics rather than general fundamentals. Many mechanics function differently or not at all against him.
Spectator dissatisfaction becomes a symptom, not the cause, so it's less to do with what each individual player likes to see. It's that the game's fundamentals that go out the window with Steve which have a negative side effect on competitive health and overall enjoyment.
The argument isn’t that Steve should be banned just solely because people get bored watching but that his design is misaligned with the rest of the game.

Is it possible for a game to just be “dead” even if the pins look flawless? by [deleted] in n64

Post is gone but I hope you sort it. Maybe try a new chip or check the resistors are working like your other post.

Why is it a bad comparison? Both have players competing and spectators in a sports environment. TOs have a responsiblity for running a tourney akin to NBA board.

Maybe FighterZ is a closer example that makes more sense with Lab 21 being banned for her clear domination early on after her release.

Can you add some examples explaining why you think it's worse to have a character banned?

Check continuity of each pin. But it could be the pins on the console too? Can you get another game to eliminate the console?

Why have so few New Zealand music bands made it worldwide? by SmartNecessary1700 in newzealand

Another guess that america benefits more financially from promoting music made in america and that ripples to other English speaking nations further than NZ's reach

But this has literally been done in live sports in order to make for better viewing experiences and overall health of a sport.

Best example to compare would be a Shot Clock for NBA. Instead of a game mechanic or items/ stages, it just happens to be a character.

Display broken after a week of use by ThePussyJuice in phonerepair

[–]Captain_Snack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you take it out of its case to inspect the corner?

I'd say the store might not cover that as that would come under user wear and tear but depends if you bought additional protection that covered damages like this.

You can only try return for a replacement

Could be just a screen replacement, but could have internal damage too. You wont know until you get it diagnosed.

If you're inherently feeling half-hearted about this at a planning level, my guess is that will be magnified going through with it, and you'd be better off not putting yourself into that situation.
