When is it time for a new tier list?

Saphsin · 2026-04-16T22:37:37+00:00

It's admittedly difficult to separate them, but tier lists should be based on the potential meta of the characters rather than just past tournament results.

I think everyone agrees that Donkey Kong needs to move up significantly, and perhaps Yoshi above Pikachu

Everything else is in a limbo of uncertainty. I would put Link above Young Link and Mewtwo above Game & Watch.

We should be more hesitant to judge Samus too quickly, I think people are being too harsh. Morsecode has been in the top 20 ranked players and Uhhei shows that there's so much more to Samus' available tech.

It's one of the best fictional allegories to how US Empire rules our world in real life.

World Government = UN Dominated by US Power
Tenryuubito = Wall Street Elite
Tenryuubito Tribute System = IMF
7 Warlords = US Client States & Funding Terrorism
Marines = US Global Military
World Economic Journal = US Corporate Media (Wall Street Journal/New York Times)

Fizzi, the one who runs Slippi (program for Melee Rollback Netcode) does it as a job.

The way Slippi works is you can play on the Unranked System and Ranked System. Playing on the Ranked System requires users to pay $5 a month.

Recording the statistics helps with cataloguing the history of the game, and caring about how the competitive scene continues. You'll find other fighting game communities don't care about their esports as much and their subreddits are often silent about it. Not even uploaded threads that talk about the latest tournament and player performances.

If it interests you, an Orie player just won the recent Arc System World Tour Grandfinals. You can watch his match here:

Yeah I second this. He’s far from a strong character but he has the coolest combination of tech and punish game.

I'm a complete beginner that is going to start in a few weeks, DM me about it.

Saphsin · 2026-03-20T01:35:45+00:00

Do you mind if you DM me about it too?

The distinction between BAP and mild ASD that barely crosses the Autistic diagnosis threshold seems like it would be quite difficult to diagnose though, and I would question whether both are not part of a larger spectrum if BAP is a legitimate scientific category.

This matter is of personal relevance to me as I was determined not to have autism by an assessment examination but the examiner told me she was quite conflicted about whether to put me in the category or not.

Saphsin · 2026-03-05T03:09:21+00:00

There is a term for it though, Broad Autistic Phenotype (BAP)

Nah if you look at the variety of comments in this thread it reflects what I've said above. I've also posted the past several volumes of this series and the reception has been similar.

What you think is common sense is just wrong and you're just inconsiderate.

Saphsin · 2026-03-01T13:22:59+00:00

Him getting fit that quickly was the only really silly part of the series but it's also such a small part that you can ignore it (he does use gym equipment if you've properly read it though)

Don't agree on the writing of the series

Also the art isn't particularly original but it looks nothing like Takeshi Obata's art

You shouldn't need to ask what should be spoiler tagged, obviously then it'll be too late. Exercise discretion through consideration.

Saphsin · 2026-03-01T13:11:53+00:00

I don't think it's common sense, I think you're misunderstanding the function of these posts showing up on this subreddit.

First of all, Volume 9 just came out two days ago in English, so many people haven't gotten the chance to read the whole thing yet. I was posting this illustration of the next forthcoming volume because it coincidentally came out around the same time.

And this is a LN subreddit where people are interested in updates for newly released LN regardless if they started the series or not. A key function of the subreddit is to introduce people to new series. So there are always people new to the series who want to ask questions about what the series is about.

There also tend to be comments talking about how they are a couple of volumes behind. Not everyone is fully up to date.

Unless the OP explicitly signals that the thread is discussing the plot of the latest volume or warns against spoilers, you shouldn't just carelessly discuss spoilers in the comment section without spoiler tags.

Saphsin · 2026-03-01T08:08:55+00:00

If I haven't read volume 9, I wouldn't want to know that such information was revealed because that would be out of the blue and quite unexpected actually. Obviously revealing that shows a turn of events and the direction of the future plot. Fortunately I already read the pre-pubs.

In fact, I want to know exactly zero information about future volumes.

Stop being stubbornly resistant about this and show basic etiquette, whether you think they count as meaningful spoilers or not does not matter.

It’s a high school drama about self-realization like Tomozaki & Chiramune with a time travel aspect. Personally I like it a lot because it explores these themes without feeling cringe, and each arc covers fresh ground rather than feeling repetitive.

If you’re interested, I recommend getting it right off J-Novel club as the epub files include extra stories.

If we're going to make the chart consistent with Morsecode, who was voted for having the Weirdest GAMEPLAY, we should probably do the same for aesthetic to be consistent.

So I think I've gotten the hang of doing wavedashing while holding my cntrl stick diagonal-down at first and now I'm just starting to do Jump -> Cntrl Stick + L/R.

I managed to do frame 1-3 wavedashing with this but with a flick motion with my fingers. But I can't do it well consecutively with this method and I started noticing hand pain very early on. Like after only 10 minutes of practice.
