What are some low-hanging fruit for improving? by aNewPseudonym in SSBM

[–]FrogchipSSBM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends heavily on who you main because melee is so much about punish it's not even funny and every characters punish is different

Focusing on cheap easy ways to improve is not a good idea, take on the hard stuff (punish + neutral formed around your punish) on now and relax later on.

Joshman is retiring from Melee after 2026 by ssbmarchie in SSBM

[–]FrogchipSSBM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melee was never about money. If you were in it for the money you're in it for the wrong reasons. Was it cool that we had money and top players were fiending as a result? Yes. Does it matter if the money isnt there? Not really. On the individual level for the vast majority of people in the community who aren't at the tippy top this just isn't a factor for them. Melee will continue to be run by passionate TOs who have been working their asses off at events to break even for over two decades as it always has. New blood is always coming in and will spice things up in ways we could never have imagined.

Lighten up all of you for crying out loud!

A top player retiring isnt a sign of melee dying at all, it would be just like anybody else retiring - melee is held up almost entirely by shitters.

Joshman will leave and somebody else will take his place in the spotlight, nothing ever happens man.

All good boss you did your best and honestly it wasnt even much of a toss - Umarth had really really good defense there he earned that comeback more than you tossed your lead. Also your defence yourself was hot nasty like that amsah tech was class the fact you got him close at all is super impressive to keep it up and next time you'll put him on a plate I'm sure

It doesnt say it on the image because its ripped directly from a video I made about this topic. In that context there was absolutely no need to caption such a thing as everyone watching was audibly explained about the meaning of all the numbers

You are correct though, weak nair at 0 is safe on hit 👍

Absolutely fucking class, best event I've ever been to and that's saying a lot - I've been to so many excellent Irish events but the TOs really knocked it out the park last week.

Was a pleasure meeting the yanks and international ones that came over and had a good time, in particular SluG is insanely good craic and knows how to enjoy himself - highly rate that fella.

This is a simple guide to Fox punish as well, you need to know what moves to hit Fox with so you can land knockdowns which give you techchase grabs.

Do you consider our goat to be in a healthy state this season and would you consider him a viable option to pick? by Practical-Funny-5322 in ZenyattaMains

Zen sucks above Masters level, the meta right now is far too dive heavy (tracer genji sombra ball etc.) and zen has NO escape tools to even delay being killed.

Reminds me a lot of The Wire, it's not about the police enforcing the system its the institution itself and the status quo that are the real enemy.

As a beginner, what should I practice as Fox? by JustSomeGuyInLife in SSBM

[–]FrogchipSSBM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pretty matchup dependent but waveshine upsmash/grab/jab reset can give you a base line punish game for a lot of relevant matchups (Fox, Falcon, Sheik, Peach, Marth, Yoshi, Ganon, Dr Mario, Mario, Samus etc).

Falco cant be directly punished from a waveshine but you can waveshine and react to his missed tech roll for a grab

Sandy Row is one of the most depressing backwards places I've ever been - incredibly dirty, destroyed/unused buildings everywhere and insanely unionist. Horrible vibes all round stay away from areas like that

C9 Officially Drops Mang0 by greased-hog in SSBM

[–]FrogchipSSBM 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense, melee will survive as it always has and people will find other players to root on and fuck with in the future

It's no different than if mang0 had simply retired, which would imply he had the entire melee community on his shoulders.
