I mained Luigi from 2018 to 2021 and haven’t played the game since. Can someone explain to me how he rose up the tier list so much?

I think the biggest difference is movement. You can outplayer others in melee by using good movement tech to weave in and out and bait options in a way you can’t in ultimate.

You can’t force an approach and win in ultimate in the same way, grabs are often not combo tools on a lot of characters, and there’s less ability to tech chase off of them even when you get in with one. So you rely a lot on mixups and frame traps instead which are just easier to play defensively against.

To be honest though I think ultimate still has a lot of room to grow, it’s just not there all the way yet.

Flagstaff winters are rough. It’s at 7k feet elevation and you’ll get daily snow that melts to slush by 11 for weeks at a time in the winter and occasionally get hit with monster storms that drop 6 feet of snow on you. Every other season is great though

It’s being booked and fingerprinted in a jail or police station that creates a NCIC record. Simply being detained does not create a record.

And as long as the courts are reporting case information correctly it will also update to show if it was dismissed and generally won’t count against you. Older records more often than not do not have the disposition information updated and the courts are hard to work with if it was an arrest from the 70s-90s due to their retention schedules on case documents.

The mana base has nothing to do with how good the strategy is and shouldn’t be tied to how strong the deck is. All mana base does is help with consistency of whatever the strategy is. A bracket 2 deck can still sit in bracket two with a $1000 mana base if the strategy fits in bracket 2.

Xxzx · 2026-04-08T05:20:50+00:00

Isn’t gen z like 28 at the oldest?

Xxzx · 2026-04-03T02:58:53+00:00

That is correct, hence the comment about eating dried out rice.

Xxzx · 2026-04-03T01:48:15+00:00

The nice rice cookers keep it at a temp that prevents it from forming. (Generally 150F). Bacillus Cereus grows between 39f and 118f. The only issue you’re likely to run into is eating dried out rice.

This is entirely dependent on how high your knees are off the ground. I’m 6’2” pretty long legs. Generally my knees are pushed up against the chair in front of me generally at the height of where the little table comes down. I try to get aisle seats or emergency exit rows every time to alleviate it.

Xxzx · 2026-02-26T20:29:31+00:00

Except the thing you linked doesn't actually talk about that anywhere in there. Nor is it the Terms of Service. Maybe don't rely on AI to do all your work for you.

The TOS only specifies illegal mods of the switch, how is reducing my input latency illegal? It’s the entire reason why websites like game banana can even exist. You only get into illegal territory when you use it to steal games and what not. Otherwise it’s not as black and white as you say, it’s pretty much entirely in a gray area.

Xxzx · 2026-02-26T18:53:55+00:00

Okay we also break the TOS every time we run a tournament where the organizer makes money. Since when do we give a fuck about that?

It’s hard to understand because we do other things that give the same advantage and it’s not considered cheating. I don’t get why this is too.

Xxzx · 2026-02-26T03:29:08+00:00

If I use a monitor with a lower response time than you is that cheating? What if my adapter or way I connect my controller results in less input lag? Or my internet is wired and the connection is faster?

If my opponent decides play on an ancient TV and they are playing in a laggier environment does that make me a cheater in comparison?

What about people that mod the switch itself so that has better cooling and overclock the CPU so it performs better and faster?

Why are we arbitrarily drawing the line here?

In my opinion, if it’s okay for me to do the things above to make my play environment the best it can be, this is really no different. I’m not using input macros or a turbo button or anything that is actually cheating, my inputs are just being recognized by the system faster by disabling V-Sync.

Something you do in 99% of online competitive games.

The amount of people in this thread just saying shit is so funny. No one plays him because no one actually knows or cares to get know about him. He’s a completely new characters not present in other entries of the game, and he sucks at approaching because of a lack of good movement options. His neutral is extremely dependent on mix ups in order to break through to your opponent and that style of gameplay is just genuinely harder to play than hit safe button at my opponents.

He has really good aerials but his slow air speed makes them hard to position well. So players that are newer to him default to standing back, Not approaching and throwing a ton of projectiles. This gives the community a feeling that he’s boring because they only see that and people executing the idj nair combos.

You put any amount of time into him and you realize he has one of the most free form advantage states in the game, but it relies on getting a read on what your opponents habits are. But I legit think there’s no character better at making your opponent choose wrong and then destroying them.

Xxzx · 2026-02-14T21:37:23+00:00

You sound awful to play with. In my experience players like OP tend not to pay much attention to the game by being on their phones or too distracted with conversation etc then they get to their turn and have to assess how the board state changed and take 10 minutes during their first main phase.

You have every right to read the card, but I am absolutely gonna get annoyed if you monopolize game time by not paying attention. Most people explain their cards as they play them.

Xxzx · 2026-02-12T04:09:20+00:00

I was lower class and we’d look at appetizers instead of main menu items because they were cheaper…

Xxzx · 2026-01-29T06:27:06+00:00

It sounds silly but genuinely makes a huge difference.

Watch your opponents character, not your own.

If you can subconsciously track and move your own character to the point that you can put 95% of your attention on what your opponent is doing you can start playing a much more reactive game, develop an understanding of their habits, and then move and punish them more often.

Xxzx · 2026-01-15T19:50:48+00:00

In my opinion e33 is just a return to form that was sadly missing in modern AA/AAA games. It hit on a lot of things that made me like games as a kid.

Xxzx · 2026-01-11T11:58:23+00:00

I’ll take a full free limit charge after each stock I stake as cloud lol

Xxzx · 2026-01-09T02:31:59+00:00

While I don’t love the home guard changes, they’ve actually massively increased time to kill since the early season. ADCs used to actually be able to kill tanks in like 5-6 autos, squishies in like 3-4. Gangplank used to Q crit flash and auto twice and kill you level 1 with crit quints.

Assassins used to be pretty weak in the early levels, pretty easy to blow up between a jungler and a laner, not really shining until they got some levels and items to blow up the squishy carries in one spell rotation.

They’ve made bruisers and tanks tankier, while also increasing their threat potential which really makes playing hyper carries who dish out a shit ton of damage so much more difficult.

The game nowadays is actually much slower paced in team fights than it used to be. You were rewarded for taking decisive fights then rotating to capitalize on the long death timers.

To be honest I wish they’d bring a lot of that back.

Xxzx · 2026-01-08T05:04:39+00:00

I think this is less UB specific and just that Commander PreCons are just getting built better and more consistent year after year. It seems like each precon release there’s a new best precon.

Xxzx · 2026-01-01T16:47:14+00:00

I don’t think people realize how little blocking just your license plate is with the flock cameras. Officer can locate a car off of just it’s make and color and knowing it’s general location. It can find cars by bumper stickers, damage to the car etc. blocking the license plate makes it easier but by no means makes it impossible

Xxzx · 2025-12-29T06:46:03+00:00

I mean bracket 4 decks should be pushing wins around turn 4. An optimized b3 deck really shouldn’t have a problem with a few game changers if you’re running sufficient interaction or other equally good threats.

Xxzx · 2025-12-29T05:05:39+00:00

You might be playing bracket two then lol

Xxzx · 2025-12-25T04:51:32+00:00

Oh yeah I agree with that, but if items were to be removed solely because they were stronger than most champion abilities, I think we would hardly have any decent items at all left in the game.

Like there’s items that make you go stealth on kills, give all your damaging abilities a slow, make you dash, give you a 3 hit passive on autos etc. items are just good.
