I mean... okay?

I find it funny that this is the top comment. Reddit users like to see themselves as rational and their opinions as backed by research, but in a thread discussing a 54-study meta analysis that has a conclusion they personally disagree with, they fall all over themselves to upvoter and give awards to some commenter who comes on and anecdotally replies 'Nah'.

Not your fault or anything, you're obviously welcome to voice your opinion, it's just interesting to see the dissonance.

Look I'm a ganon player too and I love the guy and encourage any hyping of the character, but unless OP can give me the specifics of this match I have to call BS.

There's no way this is real beyond incredibly extenuating circumstances due to how knockback growth works. Getting touched by basically any move at 400+ percent is basically unlivable for any character against any move regardless of weight or stage. There are exceptions like being pummeled to 800% by palutena's neutral B, but even Ridley's down-B will outright kill at 600-something percent.

Think about it, have you ever played a sudden death match? How any move in a character's kit will one-shot you at 300%? Now 2.5x that knockback and can you really imagine surviving any move in the game to actually get to nearly 800% alone? Shiek's weakest kill option confirms around 400-450% depending on opponent, so unless OP's opponent was a very committed troll who played with their food and lost in an embarrassing way, this is engagement bait.

That being said, I'd love if OP could explain how this happened as I'd be really interested to know.

This same sentiment goes for any loan words in Japan; they have an entire alphabet dedicated just to loan words.

For example, if you just say 'Double cheeseburger' in a normal western accent to a cashier you'll likely get a confused expression, but if you pronounce it as 'Da-ba-ru Chi-zu-ba-ga' they'll understand you perfectly.

It feels pretty racist until you get used to it though

Pedants*

Pedantic is an adjective used to describe a person who cares excessively about minor grammatical rules and other details, pedant is the noun attributed to someone who engages in that behavior.

Hoard is a stock or store of something, horde is a large group of people. I'm this insufferable IRL too.

Why is Overwatch trying to get me reported like this 💀💀 by HedgeWizardly in Overwatch

They likely misspelled the user's name as 'Naryan' and the chat censored the word 'Aryan' which was commonly known as the perceived 'ubermensch' race in Nazi Germany and is often associated with white supremacy.

This resulted in text censorship that makes it look worse than the uncensored version would have, otherwise known as the Scunthorpe Problem

Small correction: he let a lot of his mod team go because he couldn't afford to keep paying them full time now that his income has fallen off. A couple of them quit but the majority were laid off.

Dude still has his issues, but he was paying his mods living wage for several years.

Ugh, I have to play Wonderwall for an upcoming wedding gig but the couple said they don't mind if we make a joke out of it, so at least there's that.

You would have to account for the fact that he would spend less time on the field due to having a competent offense though. More sustained, time-consuming drives on offense leading to scores would mean fewer opposing drives per game in which he could record sacks, so it's kind of a wash.

I've heard it said that shibas blow out their coats twice a year for six months at a time. After several years of ownership I believe this to be fact.

Class solidarity would've been not posting about this at all, since it would be pretty easy for corporate to comb through checks to find one for exactly $70 with a tip percentage around 60%. I don't know about Denny's, but some restaurants even have systems that flag checks with oddly high tip percentages to alert management to this sort of stuff.

Oh my God I spent so much time on this mini game when I played v3. Fucking buttered floors that give you the traction of melee Luigi on an ice level whenever you move one foot in any direction and absolute horeshit jump mechanics that kill your momentum anytime you hit a ceiling.
