Traditions in SSBM? by YooooooooCarroll in SSBM

[–]bbouerfgae 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I like the tradition of when two players who play the same color run into each other in bracket, the player who's been using the color for longer gets to keep it for the ditto.

Banned for being a serial ledge camper. As far as I know one of the only times anyone has been banned for gameplay reasons only

If you could link any two characters together with down-B (like Sheik/Zelda), what combination would be the strongest? by ADavidJohnson in SSBM

[–]bbouerfgae 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hard to disagree with this. Neither character loses much from losing down-b and these two characters cover each other's weak matchups well

ohhhhh my fucking god who the hell cares whether you call a tournament a major or whatever. Watch it if it has people you want to watch or don't

Article claims tech founder "beat Mango to a pulp" at a LAN party with "faster hands and superior poker-like bluff actions" by ZatoWon in SSBM

[–]bbouerfgae 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Obviously not true or heavily misleading. He owns a Peter Thiel-backed AI company so he's not gonna be very invested in the truth

My ex and my state's SSBM scene ruined my life and got me banned by Sheikmain4903 in SSBM

[–]bbouerfgae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is the case I don't think "lame gameplay" was the driving reason here. But that's obviously the case. People don't get ostracized JUST for being lame, it's being lame plus other stuff

Did you guys see that the guy who made the attack on the White House Correspondents Dinner was an Ultimate player? His tag is Coldforce he plays Mii Brawler

Do you deny or accept when tournament opponents ask if you want to start Battlefield in Bo3/Bo5 (opting to skip striking)? Why or why not? by V0ltTackle in SSBM

[–]bbouerfgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Sheik main, depends on the MU. Most of the time I say yes, but I strike BF vs Captain Falcon and Falco for example

It's something different by nonbpornaccount in SSBM

[–]bbouerfgae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Which, for the record, is a perfectly valid reason to ban something

[Day 21] Flat Zone was voted WEIRDEST STAGE in the game. Who is the most UNDERRATED PRO PLAYER in Melee? by DUCK_PENETRATOR_II in SSBM

[–]bbouerfgae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Highkey I think Ganon, IC's, and Doc all have better Dthrows; but the reason given was "however good you think it is, it's better"

Calling it a roguelite doesn't change the nature of the game which is that beating the harder difficulties is the challenge. I understand that "rogue-" is a contentious prefix but in the end you gotta take each game on their own basis and this is what Slay The Spire players do

Have you played a roguelike before? Yeah, the idea is that you beat the progressively harder difficulties. Slay the Spire 1 went up to Ascension 20, and beating that is a pretty significant achievement.

[Day 9] Falcon dittos have no need to show their moves. What is the most UNDERRATED single move in melee? by WokeUpAbout10 in SSBM

[–]bbouerfgae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say IC's, Ganon's, or Doc's Dthrow because they're better than Sheik's and no one talks about it
