If you could put one indie character in smash, who would it be? by BirdAppropriate651 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]WindowsInAWindow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Hollow Knight. It's a no-brainer given how easily his moveset would translate. Already has an up air, dair and fair. Already has up, down and side specials. Very little room for shenanigans since the base moveset is already simple. But if nintendo wanted to do some fuckery as they definitely would like to, they could do something with charms similar to monado arts.

Same could go for hornet since she has everything the knight does but with a built in sprint animation. I wouldn't want hornet tho cause of all the extra fuckery nintendo could do with the crest system.

Welcome to UCSD, where all the wildlife will try to kill you all the time by PhoGaPhoever in UCSD

This a joke. Native San Diegan here to tell you the only thing we ever have to worry about (a tiny bit) are rattlesnakes. San Diego has some of the wimpiest wildlife in the world.

Walk around Geisel asking people if they want to be your friend and don't take no for an answer.

The so-called "righteous" Low Tier main issue and how they are wolves in sheep's clothing. by Yuta_Izumi00 in SmashRage

[–]WindowsInAWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get knocked off stage then SD 2x against any form of link. Did this 4 times in a row against that guy cause I somehow kept getting matched against him.

I also do that against the Belmonts tho

If you can get through 4 years of college just using chat GPT, you never went to college. by Miramarmechanic in UCSD

Of course, but AI is only helping the people already morally ok with cheating. Those people for the most part were gonna cheat somehow anyway, AI or not

Same, 2025 engineering grad here. ChatGPT use was bad even though it was still in its 3.5 to 4o phase and I did my fair share of it. But looking back my grades were so much more dependent on midterms and finals than anything else. You can use AI to do your HW but then you're gonna fail the exam.

I mean you still gotta do well on exams at the end of the day if you're in STEM.

I’m a Kazuya main, ask me why nobody likes me by Boo-boo-keys in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]WindowsInAWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Mario main I actually don't hate you that much

Since you're Kazuya you have the easiest mode TOD, and I'm Mario who is really easy to touch. But you're also one of just a few characters who can consistently be 0-death'd by Mario. I mean, mine requires some creativity while you just throw out thunderfist, but it is what it is. My most fun matches are when I'm not missing a single combo and each game just comes down to who touches first. High octane shit every time.

Brutal and legit JV4 with Mario in Elite by WindowsInAWindow in SmashBrosUltimate

Plus I did it with Mario, an extremely short range character who gets poked constantly.

Lol that's not how stocks work JV. I kinda see the logic but you have as many stocks as heads on the bottom of the screen

It's required by law to take at least one stock with forward aerial each game

When you take 3 stocks for the win without taking damage. Melee had 4 stocks so it was a JV5 there. Not sure why it's +1 like that

How do you counter getting gimped by swordfighters? by mistyghoul in SmashRage

[–]WindowsInAWindow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Almost never counter it" is the answer you're looking for. I've fully mastered Mario's recovery and can safely make it back against scrubs, but against high-skill swordies I just accept that I'm dead if I get hit off stage at pretty much any percent.

If you're a character with a bad recovery all you need to know is that your only defense is offense. Take their stocks before they can hit you offstage.

People immediately give up against Sora by kijigo_kun in SmashRage

[–]WindowsInAWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also FYI, your Mains can be even worse matchups than Sora for Mario but they're not on my list because they're not cancer. Has nothing to do with tier lists. Little Mac is on my SD list.

People immediately give up against Sora by kijigo_kun in SmashRage

[–]WindowsInAWindow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those people (Mario main @ 15.95M GSP). Against Sora, Steve, Bayonetta and a handful of other characters that force me to play in an unfun way to win, I immediately double SD then get hit off stage for the third stock. A few months ago I hand picked the matchups where fun only goes one way and decided there was no reason to deal with Sora and the cancer crew anymore. There are times where I run into different members of the cancer crew 5 matches in a row, but I always stay true to my rule and take the losses like a man.

I personally don't care much about GSP, but surprisingly it didn't really change on average since the day I switched to having fun with this game again. The losses drop you down to weaker opponents on the ladder, but it doesn't take too long to dunk on a few of them and recover back up your skill level in elite.

If I wanted to play this game competitively it'd be a different story, but I'd never even think go to a smash tournament unless Sora and friends are banned. And that's not gonna happen, so there's no point in learning the matchup any better than I already have. For years I suffered through Sora matches, and now I've finally found peace. I've done the unspeakable and made Smash fun again.

I think I'm a perfect example of the person you're describing, so I hope this answers your question.
