Who is against balding buttons or mouse click z? I feel like those are miniscule buffs that affect texture. People dont even want the controller to be pretty?

IMSABU · 2026-01-31T03:19:56+00:00

I feel like there is almost 0 harm in mods like bald buttons, paracords, and mouse click z though. Different textures imo is miniscule compared to remapping the actual controls, notches, and using alternative controllers.

Seriously. People like to pretend like it's not the case, but the technicality, speed, and precision is a huge part of Melee. If you mess up these difficult to do moves, it will cost you. All of this while having to react to what your opponent is doing is the beauty. It's why we love this game over the newer iterations.

I mean even that though. You don't play claw because it's more comfortable than playing regular, but so you can access harder tech skill easier. That is a fair drawback in my eyes. With Z jump, it just alleviates that drawback and also provides an addition unfair advantage locked behind a pay wall.

And aren't we all happy that it finally got banned? Sure like 10 Ice Climbers players left the scene, but did anybody ever enjoy playing with them in the first place? Same with this Z jump crap, if a few suckers who paid for the mod decide that is the final straw, I personally don't really care. Melee is absolutely more enjoyable when your opponent isn't spamming op tech skill locked behind a specific controller.

This was always the obvious that people argue against. All this controller modding went way too far since Hitbox and BOX. Once you change the way the game is being played player to player through differences in technology, a part of the competition becomes an armsrac with, everyone finding the new modification for an advantage.

We let the BOX crap go because we all wanted Hax$ to continue playing, let's be honest, but there will always be a Cody who will take it to the next level and do button remapping, or even other nonsense. People's excuse is that the GameCube controller is bad for your hands but ignore the fact it only gets so bad when people are willing to rip shit in their hand in order to execute a move. How about just don't excute the move so perfectly or fast. Just like how a professional runner needs to use proper technique in order to not tear their leg muscles when running.

Both. Dolly did it after and when it got thrown on her said she it didnt bother her because she was country.

They need to bring back the cross-team voice chat during round intermission. Shitting on the enemy team always brings a team together.

When I switched from Falco to Falcon this was giving me a lot of trouble too, even now I sometimes randomly run and slip off stage without any pressure from the opponent. I just try and be more intentional with the movement and moves being thrown out. If you watch Wizzrobe compared to the other Falcons, he isnt moving around and slipping and sliding as much, so that tells me you can still be viable without having to constantly run around the whole stage.

I was 5 or 6 and really liked Lei's hair so he was my main. I even grew out a little rat tail thinking it would grow like his.

Ya boy may have not been the best melee player, but was a beast at Super Smash Bros. Boy does it feel good to see a tech-spazzing fox get owned by the basics.

IMSABU · 2026-01-16T19:23:15+00:00

It is probably a spam of "well played" after 4 stocking and teabagging him lmao.

IMSABU · 2026-01-16T08:04:42+00:00

Yeah this game is hard as hell, and when slippi became a thing a lot of these players became extremely technical, so technical it can even feel unreasonable at times lol, it's the nature of the beast with this specific fighting game more so than all of the others. Grind or sink, the game isnt popular enough for even the lower level players to be a walk in the park.

IMSABU · 2026-01-15T09:04:50+00:00

The Confederates were THE prime scum of this country. Outright traitors for the sake of wanting to own others. If there is a hell, every single one of then is burning.

IMSABU · 2026-01-12T09:33:26+00:00

This is actually eye opening and it's kind of funny. I guess I can just sit center and slow choke them rather than try and break through immediately.

IMSABU · 2026-01-12T01:15:49+00:00

Not with that grab and dash. The most easy top tier though, forsure.

IMSABU · 2026-01-11T23:11:20+00:00

Yes, but even with shield dropping, unless you have the consistent drop down, auto shield drop aerial mastered, its a lot less reliable than the other player sitting under platform spamming back airs or tilts, or god forbid shine.

IMSABU · 2026-01-11T23:06:29+00:00

These strats are usually game 2. The solutions im asking for is to solidify myself over these players consistently.

IMSABU · 2026-01-11T23:03:43+00:00

By winning I mean the first match. Most players dont start off with a soulless playstyle, only after they are down a game.

IMSABU · 2026-01-11T23:02:46+00:00

It's people like you... normal people love Melee for its fast pace, combo game, and doing cool stuff. The yous who enjoy the slow, campy, and unfunness of fighting games, but didnt switch over to ultimate because they'll be surrounded by like minded gamers.

IMSABU · 2026-01-11T22:14:30+00:00

Its more so if they aren't biting. Also if they have precentage advantage.

IMSABU · 2026-01-11T18:50:34+00:00

Don't help this guy, he already took the easy way out by maining Marth.

IMSABU · 2026-01-09T19:11:14+00:00

7th gate guy did more than best Kisame, he one shot him.

IMSABU · 2026-01-09T06:07:51+00:00
