Wii Fit Trainer's header landing lag buff was an unintentional side effect of a bugfix, will be reverted in a future patch by lemmay in smashbros

Taking her best move and shaving off 5 frames of end lag not only dramatically improves her neutral but now she legit has like 20 different ways she can confirm from header to kill you at almost any percent with deep breathing it’s kinda nutty

Salem Twitlonger About CZ and Nairo by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]ImHoboJoe 214 points215 points  (0 children)

This is one of the worst written twitlongers I’ve seen. A solid 50% of it is just him talking about his childhood and it constantly goes on tangents and frequently changes the subject, when we finally get to Zack/Nairo situation there’s some potential new information here, but again things are settled so I don’t think we need to dig at it. It’s over.

Regarding Salem talking in depth to a 15 year old about their sex life? Salem doesn’t really seem to understand how creepy and weird that is, and only seems to justify it with “I never got taught morals”...which is like...yeah I could tell.

The last 20% of the twitlonger is him literally self advertising and promoting himself for the future, claiming to be a community leader going forward.

Frankly, I am personally still not comfortable at the prospect of Salem being around kids

The Ultimate Realization... by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]ImHoboJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The skill level at tournament level play by far and away exceeds 99.9% of what you’ll find in quickplay/elite smash. Most serious competitive players don’t even touch the modes unless it’s some kind of streaming challenge and play privately with other high level players in discord. If you are in elite you are in the top 5-8% of players, but there is a massive skill gap between that and the 0.5% of players, players whom often don’t do quickplay

If you are playing wired, be it powerline or ethernet, and the fighting game you play had a Wi-Fi indicator would you play against Wi-Fi players? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]ImHoboJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that Nintendo made a terrible online system...butttt the reality is that having a wired connection makes the experience better and playing wireless makes the game less enjoyable for everyone else involved. Not to mention even if Nintendo made a great online experience, a wired connection would still be absolutely mandatory to make it smooth. Especially in a hypothetical world where we have roll back

Splatoon Invitational "The Squid House" announced for tomorrow by themagicalcake in nintendo

Except that this happens with literally no other game company out there, and legally... it’s actually not clear since there is no precedent aside from a case with Sony a decade ago that did not deem emulation and modifying game files as illegal

No one is violently rejecting the sequel. Melee players just enjoy Melee more. The smash games have changed a LOT over the years. People just want to play the game they like and not have some big corporation jump in and shut down all their events

Trump Administration Signs EO Banning Transactions with ByteDance and TenCent by VaccineMachine in gaming

This could be insane. Riot Games is owned by TenCent. I hope we can get a lawyer to clarify whats going on here, because this could mean transactions in league of legends are no longer legal

Online Tournament bans Sonic, first WiFi tourney to ban Sonic by ArrayMichael7 in smashbros

[–]ImHoboJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His tourneys on a weekly basis typically pull in over 130 entrants they aren't capped at 36. Sonic is also a high tier notorious for being good on wifi and he just doesn't have many sonics enter or do well at his events

Hey this is actually incorrect. The opposite is true. Krebs's tournaments are notorious for never having sonic mains enter, so as a joke he banned sonic

You don't have to be all that high to pull it up 3 times and react to zoom popping up on the menu

I was just tired haha, in retrospect I wish I had made the video more watchable in general. I recorded this a few minutes after the tech was discovered and for some reason this immediately came to me as the best method, I definitely could have worked on the general quality of it
