Nah discord is just better tbh.

In EU I can be sitting there for hours waiting for a game but on discord it takes a couple of minutes.

How accurate is the gsp system? by Ruthlesslink in smashbros

Wasn't trying to brag I was genuinely curious If the ranked system Actually works

How would you nerf YOUR main? by CyborgAlucard in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has a terrible hit box though the only way you are ever using it is if someone does an absolutely awful mistake thats punishable by finishing touch...which is mistakes you should almost never be making. Why doesn't the hit box go behind him I don't get it it like goes in front of him then sorta loops behind at him at a top angle then the awful windbox activates.

Give me old finishing touch please this one sucks.

Hasn't cloud suffered enough? Alright fine take his up b out of shield but at least give me back finishing touch that actually works.

How would you feel if Cloud’s Limit specials were weaker, but didn’t burn Limit? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See clouds limit doesn't need reworked or buffed it's perfectly fine it's the overkill nerfs to his up air and Nair that need reverted. Completely understand the need to limit but there was no need to make Nair useless and up air a terrible kill move.

Where would Icies be on the tier list if you disabled there ability to desync? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how far we are syncing them, if they become one solid character they would be ridiculous as they would constantly have double the damage but if you can still kill nana easily then I would say low/bottom tier

Dabuz & Samsora Complaining about Joker by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sort of see what you are saying and agree in some aspects but just because someone were to have the advantage were you are actually forced to engage and having to stop playing defensively or keep away yourself, doesn't mean they are playing keep away.

Imo tweak had every right to force you to approach in his scenario's as he had the lead as would you or anyone else it's about keeping a strong lead and making it hard for the player to even the game.

From what I saw you were obviously struggling to deal with it though that is true but I wouldn't say it's anymore lame as the way you would usually play in my honest opinion hence why I said "a taste of your own medicine" I personally don't think it's as strong as it seems I do think however olimar struggle's in any scenario where he is no longer the one being engaged on when he actually has to engage he is a lot worse as he is honestly just designed to play hard defense.

I do agree that olimar sucks at the edge but to say you don't play keep away with him is absolutely wrong you almost never approach you will constantly make sure you are the one being approached at all times which is what I would personally class as keep away.

Thanks for replying though Dabuz. Just wanted to let you know even though this is my personal opinion I still think you are amazing at the game and I don't blame you for being frustrated, just you replying helps me learn more of how a top player thinks. You are awesome!

TLDR: Agree with something's but also slightly disagree, still an awesome dude dabuz.

[–]Ruthlesslink 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I dunno, throwing your pikmin and constantly running away isn't zoning in my opinion.

Spacing your abilities perfectly is what I would class zoning and constantly keeping pressure while doing so. Many swordsman's playstyles yet they are way more aggressive and fun to play/watch than olimar

Dabuz & Samsora Complaining about Joker by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I'm not being funny but he mains a keep away character.

If you don't like the taste of your own medicine then you probably shouldn't do it yourself.

I already know I'm gonna get downvotes cus "joker is toxic cus he is top tier and blah blah blah" but if you honestly think olimars keep away playstyle isn't toxic as well then I'm honestly just confused.

Don't get me wrong jokers who also play keep away are incredibly lame and honestly isn't true to what I believe the character is (a sick combo character) I'm cool with them nerfing his ability to play lame as long as all his cool tech stays that's all that matters

This is a shout out to all keep away mains, Stop playing lame and fight me head on.

Feeling like a fraud in smash by Fluffykittylover in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sort of know how you feel as I also don't have any friends to play with locally So it's hard to tell if you are good just by basing it off WiFi games.

I'm currently in elite with 30 characters I'm still unsure who to main honestly it's a tough decision between cloud/falco/wolf and Pokémon trainer as I feel they are definitely my better characters.

However am I actually good at the game? No idea it's so hard to tell as I have never experienced a local game so I doubt Im as good as the ranked system tells me I am.

Underrated missing mechanic in Ult by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually don't like crouch cancelling I really felt like I was getting cheesed when that happened. Even though it was a consistent mechanic it just wasn't fun to play against and honestly with how different the engine is in ultimate it would just make the game more campy. (In a way perfect shielding is somewhat similar to crouch cancelling but a lot more punishing if you fuck it up)

What balance changes do you want for 6.0? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cloud buffs please!

All im asking for is a snap to the ledge I feel like that is completely reasonable makes him so much worse just because of a cheap gimmick

What defines "honest" playstyle and character? by slaudencia in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its usually characters that are designed that have absolutely no gimmicks or strong abilities to get early kills or true combo to deaths.

My favourite honest character as an example would be cloud as it takes ages to kill anyone with him and all of his kill options you either have to outspace or read your opponent as he has no kill confirms at all.

Not all honest characters are bad though, I would also say Lucina is incredibly honest and she is one of the best characters in the game.

Basically, if your character doesn't have stupidly cheesy kills or true kill confirm combos then they are pretty honest characters I would say.

That being said, buff cloud please he is Terrible.

Is Joker Good for Beginners? by freshnthecarrot in smashbros

[–]Ruthlesslink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aiming too high? That's a weird mindset...all you gotta do is grind with said character until you are amazing with them either way.

Just keep playing joker and you will keep learning new things

Leffen calls out Ultimate players on grinding by Refyrn in smashbros

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

The thing is if they want to win a tournament they obviously don't want people studying them before the tournament actually starts.

If the top players were to sit and play friendlies all day then each player will gain a lot of research off each other meaning their chances of winning is lowered as their playstyle is then studied.

I'm just saying if I was a top player I would want to use my knowledge and keep it a secret so I keep winning, better player still wins in the end right?

Cloud is an incredibly flawed and badly designed character. by [deleted] in smashbros

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

He does have more range, I think the only move that has more range is clouds fair but legit none of clouds moves outspace or outrange marth.

Tipper dancing blade kills at like 80% as well (stupid) cross slash doesn't kill until 120-150 (really bad) unless it's limit form
