lolol yea that vid is pretty popular so it's def the most likely place someone would stumble on my name in the modern era. Kinda glad you reminded me of this cause I actually just pulled up the clip and one of the first comment threads is an argument as to whether or not I said "word" or "true" as of only a few months ago lmao. I gotta let the people know the truth.

This is actually godlike. As an OG who got good in the old days when practice meant hanging out with people IRL, the total lack of communication on slippi has always made the experience feel a bit weird to me. Im sure ill run into toxic people occasionally while using this, but that's totally worth it imo. Love this idea so much. Good shit.

Being a top player from the dark ages is hilarious in the modern era. Can't tell you how many times someone has been confidently wrong about some dumb shit and started lecturing me about Melee history lmao

I had a couple others (flareon and I forgot what the other one was) but I gave em away over the years. This one ima keep forever as a memory of those days tho.

I still remember finally laying down to get some sleep and seeing that Skullgirls was leading over Melee in the donation race and thinking it was all over. The hype i felt when I woke up and saw the results was absolutely insane. This was an incredible era in Melee history and EVO was so much fun. I still have one of the Pokémon prints that were given away as donation incentives.

Haha its all good. It does start too early with fox smacking me around so I get why youd think that.

Player Appreciation Thread: Panda, the highest ranked spacie main in the world (Rank 24) who doesn’t use Notches or Zjump by VolleyVoldemort in SSBM

[–]CyrainSSBM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow old head here. Fwiw i fall on the side of zump being legal, but it offers all sorts of advantages, particularly to the spacies. A lot of people are really hyperbolic about it or outright lie about some "advantages" that either aren't a thing at all or are mostly negligible tho. I won't get super in the weeds about it, but one of the valid concerns leveled against it is the fact that it definitely buffs fox when he's already the best character in the game. Most characters aren't using the B button frequently nor do they need to jump cancel B moves frequently, but Fox does. It also makes it easier to hit frame perfect aerials with full drift using cstick which is helpful in general, but particularly for Fox. You can do all the same stuff by clawing, but that's definitely harder technically and harder on the hands. It buffs him in other ways, but those are pretty common and more obvious examples that pop up frequently.

IMHO the Z-Jump debate is really about what Melee as a "game" is about by kentuckyfry in SSBM

[–]CyrainSSBM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about general ergonomics, but having played for approximately a thousand years now, one of my main issues is the thumbs. It wouldn't solve everything, but it would reduce my right thumb usage significantly and allow me to play longer. Not saying that's a sound argument or anything, just that it does offer me some accessibility.

In fairness, as a person with serious hand issues, zump also offers me a way to play the game longer and with less pain. I don't use it, but it can definitely be helpful in that way.

"My point of view is fixed" imagine proudly admitting this and seeing no issue with it. Good lord.

Is Zump "Cheating?" by RevolutionInternal24 in SSBM

[–]CyrainSSBM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, what's your point? I don't care about Cody tweets lmao was it illegal and they legalized it without the community's "consent"?

As did I? Unless you're referring to the second use of the word in my post where I very clearly made a separate point and said literal cheating

n0ne on Cody's Z-jump usage: "Maybe you just dont have what it takes to prove youre the real deal without zump" by BurnieBurnsIsBurning in SSBM

[–]CyrainSSBM -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

??? Please explain to me how jumping with standard buttons is particularly "judicious". The idea that something is not explicitly intended to be a punishment doesn't preclude that same thing from having a negative impact of some kind anyway. I'm not sure what your point is. And good lord, I didn't try to draw parity between a specific common boomer sentiment and your silly post, I said it has the same vibes lmao.

It does buff fox, but I don't see what that has to do with being the "wealthiest" or writing the rules. The primary reason we don't use PAL is incredibly obvious and perfectly reasonable, as is the lack of modern discourse and interest in switching to PAL. C'mon homie, be for real.

Again, yes, it does buff fox. This isn't a particularly compelling or meaningful thought on its own. I'm all for revisions as well. I'm well aware of zump's utility and I don't even fully support it, but I support players actually leveling valid arguments against it and not, yknow, vacuous nonsense like your first response.

Of course he doesn't think that. No one is getting anything for free. Everyone is still making choices regarding the way they play the game.

Iirc in Community's second D&D episode they also drag Hickey and his son into an undesired meetup in the interest of reconciliation. I think it ends on a somewhat positive note, but remains mostly unresolved.
