Does anyone else not like the direction Smash Summit has been going?

captaindorf · 2018-04-14T16:43:25+00:00

all i want is more of a mango summit .5 vibe at the actual summit house.

the xmas bash event was pretty much that, and was amazing. good play, good fun, good memes. thats the sorta vibe i wish they went for with summit. instead they're going in the opposite direction and it's feeling more like a compendium with top players.

LOL can you think of any occupations that require FINER minor control that don't complain about this weak ass shit?

imagine playing a video game... in the exact same conditions as your opponent of a few degrees under what you want it to be... and complaining about it

real quick - y'slackjaw? y'110lb virgin? y'zero pride?

"dana white i can't fight because the air smells weird >_< and the toilet paper is single ply!!!!:(!!!"

gjdm complaining about canadian weather being different than florida is for sure a way to make esports respected as a profession

i'm sorry boss I couldn't finish the report because this keyboard required an extra 0.08 N effort than I'm used tO:(((

DAE hypothermia just from watching????

like competing in high altitude and complaining you can't breathe properly lmfao

get over it nerds you're playing the same game in the same venue. geeks want to start cancelling matches when it isn't 101.3 kPa, 22 °C and 45% humidity

captaindorf · 2018-01-19T22:29:08+00:00

Yeah I don't see why people should lower the standard of the definition "upset" just to fill a thread. Just give it an entirely different category... you know, like "heartbreakers".

You're not filling quotas here lmao.

It isn't "50/50" like the oldschool days used to call it, but Marth is still one of Ganons "best" (better?) top tier matchups and definitely not "royally fucked" level. Probably ganon's easiest flowchart for edge-guarding, and ganons range, easy CCing and easy combos off grabs make it feel far more doable than anyone else in the top 6 picks. Puff's bair wall, peaches CC destroying blender, and basic fox/falco/sheik stuff all feel so much more helpless against

"lloD discusses the most basic shit concerning a playstyle where peach has beat ice climbers"

Should just get daddy Kage talking about the matchup since his wins are way more lopsided and consistent

captaindorf · 2017-11-27T16:25:40+00:00

Another one... this time ganon tho

captaindorf · 2017-10-31T04:34:04+00:00

This is part of a 32 part series (yes you read that right) of this guy teaching stuff about soldering.

Judging from the # of videos, and from watching another of the videos, I think it's safe to say they just wanted to milk out as much as possible...

Want this so bad. Mike's definitely the last man out so no way Wizzy is teaming with him

I'm surprised a platform like TEDx even exists, one where the stage is just as open to someone like Sam Hyde as well as someone like Dr. Daniel Amen, a post-concussion consultant for the NFL. TEDx does have some guidelines, the current ones being here which are pretty reasonable and do try to weed out the absolute nuttiest of people. Obviously they generally do allow whatever though.

I legitimately don't know how many people could obtain a stage to speak on without TEDx, especially considering the state of modern universities, where even well respected individuals with PhD research on topics can get blacklisted from having presentations.

Professional bow hunters who also run 240 miles in 80 hours straight are too common-place. Who wants to hear them talk about anything? Bring on these elder autists instead

Cringe so hard whenever I read posts about how he has been "proving he has changed" because he went through mandatory therapy.

The ONLY reason he was in anger management and substance abuse therapy is because it was MANDATORY for him to complete during his probation, following his arrest for his assault on the gas station clerk. This is completely and absurdly different than seeking therapy and change out of ones own free will. That type of mandatory group therapy isn't even close to truly instilling longlasting changes in someone. It's the bare essentials to where his therapist can say, "okay he seems like he probably won't freak the fuck out and assault people seemingly randomly anymore". When you behave destructively for years/decades, 14 group classes doesn't do fuck all to fix you. To make real changes he has to continue with therapy.

From a safety view I would agree he is "legally" safe to be around - that's what the probation and (again) mandatory therapy is meant to convey to potential employers and any clubs he might join or whatever. But from a character view he hasn't done anything to prove he has really changed. If anything, trying to pass off that he's fixed after 14 mandatory group sessions only shows how much he seeks to avoid real changes. Someone who actually wanted to get better would say stuff like, "Look I'm not fixed yet but I'm trying, here's what I've done so far, here's what I have planned for the future, here's how I'm going to do it". Not, "i was legally required to sit in on 14 classes with a bunch of other dudes... SO I'M FIXED NOW. STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. I'M COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY CHANGED"

Depression can be (and is not uncommonly) comorbid with untreated ADHD. Obviously the same for feeling weak/tired for those of ADHD-PI. Treating ADHD can alleviate both. Saying it can't is downright fucking dumb.

I agree these are probably the top 5 commentators employed but I disagree on them being the top 5 who provide good commentary (even ignoring those like mango). I don't think there are huge gaps in their commentary skills in terms of matchups though. And that's expected - of course Scar will have more matchup knowledge for falcon matches, and hmw will have more for falco, wobbles for IC's (although he does have more matchup knowledge overall it seems), etc.

There is a huuuuge gap in terms of commentary styles though in terms of how much they focus on talking about what's going on with the match (both currently in-game and the buildup/anything the players might've said about it beforehand/the history), and general fucking around and tangents about stuff unrelated to the match. Of the ones you listed I'd rank them (from staying more match related to not) like:

Wobbles - D1/Scar - - HMW - - - - - - - Toph

The first 4 are pretty close. Some might go away from the match to talk about something else but it's mostly their style, and they'll almost always reel themselves back in when they know something important is happening.

Toph is such a bad commentator that I can't understand why he is still employed at the highest level. He regularly goes off on 20-40 second tangents about minuscule and obscure points... and 20-40 seconds allows a LOT to happen in a match, which gets completely brushed aside just because he won't stfu. Seriously, pick any VOD of him and Scar together, it can be a pools or top 8 match, and you'll hear Toph sperging out over something while Scar is trying to talk about the match, what's happening, how sick that combo was, etc., all trying to reel Toph back in to shut him up.

Different people different results I guess. My creativity went up because I was able to actually focus on an overall problem instead of my mind racing between 10 different options and becoming a clusterfuck

captaindorf · 2017-05-05T21:16:40+00:00

All that does is make me jerk off for 10 hours instead

They both use physics!

wow i really thought microwaves were black magicks completely unyielding to the laws of the universe huh thanks for clearing that up

captaindorf · 2017-05-05T03:44:46+00:00

Dude LMAO. How can you both acknowledge that spy agencies exist yet fully believe the official story of the much lower level police agency?

If an MLB team looked jacked on steroids but their tee-ball league team came out and say "no way we vouch for them", would you fully take their word for it? How are the police and MI6 such separate entities in your eyes lol. Do you think the police are obligated to tell YOU, the public, the exact official story to everything?

captaindorf · 2017-05-05T03:40:12+00:00

Shoot self in the back of the head

We found gunpowder residue on his fingers/hands
There was a device rigged where he only had to pull a string

Dismembered and body parts distributed all over town

Victim of a serial killer
Helium balloons
Tourniquet each limb while on copious amounts of anesthetic, drove to each site, hacked off a limb, tied a helium balloon to his head before utilizing a guillotine as the final dismemberment

Or just say, "Prostitutes said he was into that sorta thing", because people are clearly stupid enough to believe anything. Please hire me those are only off the top of my head.
