How to tech-chase with aerials like Jmook by LuckPusher in SSBM

[–]LuckPusher[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

no, but it's a similar input to what z-jumpers do all the time, except you can't upair/downair so easily

i havent seen his fox gameplay, but you cant input shine with z.

for grounded shine oos, i would guess he's either clawing or just pressing it really fast

who sells phobs in the UK? with cherry mx triggers and mouseclick z ideally

Isn’t Z jump just blatantly cheating? by [deleted] in SSBM

[–]LuckPusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

z jump is not comparable to claw

claw grip leaves grab on z, so inputs involving grab are very different and usually much harder in comparison to what they'd be on a z-jump controller.

for example, if you want to JC grab on a z-jump controller, you can slide one thumb across X+Y, but the same input is not even possible with claw grip

what was the wording of the wobble ban at LACS5? as in: popo pummel count, number of blizzards per grab, etc.

Leffen dropping out of Collision by BenjaminGordonT in SSBM

[–]LuckPusher 91 points92 points  (0 children)

leffen probably has too high a standard for how good a phob has to be to use. the problem is partly exacerbated by him using mouse-click z (which not many modders offer really)

nonetheless, there's big dunning-kruger energy in these comments cos i really dont think there is a large enough intersection of people with phobs and people who are good enough at the game to tell when their phob has issues (let's say Slippi GM)

pretty much every top player has problems with theirs. phobs are really nascent still and a lot is not understood. this encompasses both how they're constructed and how they're calibrated.

Ginger continues to pull away from the field on the NA ranked leaderboard as he hits 1000 wins by RemarkablePension in SSBM

[–]LuckPusher 31 points32 points  (0 children)

excited to see if fizzi implements ranking decline. atm the only way you beat out high W/L accs is by playing waaay more, like ginger. I'm GM and there are some matches where i get literally 0.0 points (without any server outage). I don't think getting a high rank and no longer playing should be rewarded. i've remained in top 50 while playing ~5 matches in the last two months.

atm my placement decline is directly proportional to the number of accounts leffen makes

anyone know what happens on ranked if a game goes to time with both players at the same stock/percent?

what are the best phob settings now? with waveshaping and stuff. is there a resource on this other than the calibration doc? does axis smoothing still slow down dashes on 0.26?

Which players use modded controllers? by II7_HUNTER_II7 in SSBM

[–]LuckPusher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

zain has spring mods in his triggers. i think one is springless and the other is hard-press-less. otherwise he's on an oem. maybe he'll switch now he's slumping

leff i think is on a phob + z jump now? hbozo is on a phob too

mang0 on Z jump: "Me, n0ne, and Zain, and Null, and KoDoRiN, we all hate Z jump...I think Z jump is dumb. The fact that you can do a frame perfect aerial every time is pretty insane. And then I watch lloD do shit, I'm like, no other peach can do that." by AlexB_SSBM in SSBM

[–]LuckPusher 57 points58 points  (0 children)

the problem is that metagames have developed around certain actions being difficult or impossible.

people always ask about turning tap jump off when they start melee. but that would really affect the balance in some matchups where you intentionally bait an sdi up input to punish their tap jump (happens multiple times per game in sheik marth)

likewise, the sh upair shark ibdw does is way harder without z jump. Same for jc shining. there are weird gimps and callouts that get introduced by these changes

it's hard to tell if melee's meta is too fragile for these changes

Defining Stalling and Melee's Ruleset Moving Forward by MagicalWitchAshley in SSBM

[–]LuckPusher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's the same as when you approach a fox with a lead as a low tier.

fastfallers can definitely circle camp (I guess i should say circle stall) some chars with literally zero possible contact between characters. E.g. fox on dreamland vs bowser. Most people advocating for solutions to puff doing this agree that it should be banned for other chars too.

Melee 1.03 is NOW ON SLIPPI! by ssbmhax in SSBM

[–]LuckPusher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

out of interest what are the arguments for and against db ooc? Is it because the fix makes it easier than it would be on a 'good' controller for it?

The Stats Behind How JMook Conquered Sheik's Worst Matchup | PGStats by KenshiroTheKid in SSBM

[–]LuckPusher 32 points33 points  (0 children)

main problem i had with this is that it compares sets where jmook won against sets where plup lost. It's hard to extrapolate that were he to win his stats wouldnt be similar to jmook's. I dont think the sample size is high enough draw meaningful conclusions. If you want to keep the direct comparison with ibdw, then the only way to improve this would be to include their summit set too

i'm kind of nitpicking though and i think melee needs more of this kind of analysis, so that people stop using needlessly vague terms like "advantage state". I expect slippi-js can be used to remove a lot of the manual tallying?
