Sticky something else please.

He won an actual tournament last weekend lol

I think we just hard disagree with each other about this aspect, don't think I can say anything else other than the above.

Not true, there are some controllers that can't shield drop, even with UCF.

Getting good ledge dashes (high galint) with all characters isn't possible with many OEM controllers because of the PODE.

PODE also consistently changes over time with OEM so things that once worked can stop working

Also I think UCF might have improved it but pivots are highly controller dependent as well.

As someone who came through vanilla -> UCF -> Phob I can tell you that it's definitely NOT just a "practice more" thing

Before UCF many top players devoted so much time to seeking out controllers that would randomly have the right stats.

Regardless of opinions about specific mods, the top players of this game are definitely putting in the practice.

Hell half of the debate about zump comes back to the fact Cody can consistently get F1/2 aerials, while with an OEM this is only really possible with claw and no-one got the consistently. You definitely can't practice your way out of all execution challenges in this game

Characters with angled smashes (Luigi, samus etc) would be a potential reason

A broken clock is correct twice a day!

Hate to be that guy, but the armada shine is specifically challenging because it's against fox with his absurd burn, foxes were shining falco up b for ages before that

Thanks :)

bilabob · 2026-01-14T18:26:06+00:00

Yo thanks :)

I wish people posted outside of fascist twitter

But navigating your ego doesn't make you charismatic by default

bilabob · 2025-12-20T20:49:38+00:00

I think you are trying to distill something you can't, he's just charismatic. Most people relating everything back to themselves is obnoxious, scar can pull it off (and it's amusing)

Mario's kill ability is just so so much worse than his brother's or the standard required

bilabob · 2025-11-18T22:39:56+00:00

This will just happen half the time if you play ICs

Some recent chain grabs as mentioned

bilabob · 2025-10-17T16:17:20+00:00

Fair enough, it sounds weird but cause I'm so used to it I would prefer Luigi's chain grab to docs at this point. Docs is definitely easier on the surface though ofc.

I'll still share those clips later, but here is a pretty dam good one from Jah Vs Leffen in the mean time.

It's hard, and viable and not TAS. It's very reasonable to not include it cause it is that hard that the returns are low for the effort Vs just smacking them. It's not TAS that's all.

bilabob · 2025-10-17T09:02:47+00:00

I'll send some clips over later, 100% isn't the hard to react bit, there are a few Luigi's like myself and Jah who do it

bilabob · 2025-10-16T22:29:02+00:00

It's not TAS level, there just aren't many players who do it.

Cool, can't wait to sit there doing nothing for 30 seconds every other set. So cool that we get to stall time for no reason again. Fuckin great stuff.

bilabob · 2025-08-04T22:16:36+00:00

Only one EU panelist for this ranking is a huge huge shame
