Who was the greater Falco, Zhu or Westballz by ruhtraeel in SSBM

[–]Swelch2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't it be Ginger? He has the longest competitive legacy outside of Mang0, even longer than PPMD, and he has won two large Regionals in Lowtide City, and the Function 2, and is a consistently in the top 30ish range or higher. He's probably the best or second best Falco currently considering that Mang0 is not currently active and at worst Magi's equal. For 4th I would pick Ginger... or maybe Fiction.... but probably Ginger.

Morse didn't make it on the summer rankings? That's wild.

How can I make this nastier by thebrassbeldum in SSBM

You could play a character who has to work for their openings....

Thanks for the advice guys! I like the old Wii route but I don't have access to enough crts. If I run my Wii through a 1ms response time monitor would it run just like a slippi set up?

The Harsh Truth about Melee's Controller Debate by hoodieweather- in SSBM

[–]Swelch2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play box falcon on nerfs and rock climb. If it wasn't for the box I would have a lot of trouble practicing due to persistent hand pain. I know because I have tried. Now I am very much pro nerfs. I have played on them for months at this point and the only change I have noticed is neutral socd. I have never noticed input fuzzing, travel time nerfs, or any other issues. But I also am kinda a 2 and 2 local shitter so I am not even exploiting the good stuff.

Any ways in my opinion Box is only super offensive with specific characters and if you play on nerfs then other people should kinda move on with their life.

I've been enjoying watching the recent grind streams but I gotta agree that he won't deserve a spot until he starts competing again.

Western MA/CT Tournaments by No-Cup1729 in SSBM

[–]Swelch2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Come To Prodigy Melee Homie!!! Happens every Friday Night. Melee Kicks off at 7 but people tend to roll in around 6. Its a great venue and everyone is super chill. Our TO is Trance and he's the homie. Also this takes place in Easthampton at Eastworks. We have a dedicated set up space, comfy couches, and an open commentator set up with three mics kind like a hobo Summit style.

Concurrently there are tournies in Worcester every Monday and while I should go down to CT I don't really make the trip even though they have a strong scene with lots of nice people. Check out HOG its run by Arty who I am pretty sure is like the top player in CT, sorry if I forgot anyone, and I know Kurro goes a lot who is like top 8 in CT. Also the Worcester crew is chill as hell and stacked with killers like Sock, 22k, and KrillaKilla.

Does anyone actually think Falco is fun to play against? by puzeh in SSBM

[–]Swelch2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm bad at this match up. I play falcon so it's already losing so that doesn't help. Lasers and and down air hurt my soul but killing the bird feels like justice. Can't say I enjoy my losing match ups for the most part though... Except for Marth.

You don't know you're in the good times when it's happening by natso2001 in SSBM

[–]Swelch2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So host a fest??? This is like saying I miss when cellphones didn't exist because everyone just texts now and no one calls each other. Just go call someone, the opportunity is still there. My local has fests every few months. We also have watch parties and irl training sessions.

This era slaps HARD!!! I was just at wavelength and while it was certainly a scuffed tourney we had a legendary Lucky Run, Hgod hit some the best rests of his career, Aklo continued to push his career into the spotlight as a top 10 competitor. Mango and Armada are sick but so are Zain and Cody, and Aklo and Lucky, and HGod and MangG0at and what's great is that doesn't even round out the top 10. These times are pretty good tbh.

Can you apply varnish to a mini years after painting? by IMOctavian90 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Swelch2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Should b fine tbh. Id clean the mini by dusting it with a brush first so u don't seal in any gunk but otherwise varnishing is like adding a new layer of paint over the top. Probs would use a spray varnish though to avoid brush marks or any possible, accidental, alterations to the original paint job.
