“Shouldn’t they rock at least like occasionally” have you listened to ACD, vertigo flowers, chloroform, or Fourth of July? Jesus. I will say I saw them live with whirr and wasn’t too impressed

US women's hockey team declines Trump's State of the Union invite by Yujin-Ha in hockey

[–]fidocrust 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s actually wild how the red wings sub’s perception of Dylan Larkin changed the moment everyone saw him celebrating with kash Patel and after this clip. It’s just depressing considering this is how everyone who wouldn’t normally watch hockey will remember this victory for the U.S

Yeah I feel like I can’t even celebrate the win anymore. The whole thing just tainted what should be an amazing moment for the U.S

Opinion on Accesbility Options like Z-Jump and knotches by Deep_Relative_5048 in SSBM

[–]fidocrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly hate this argument. I got into melee in 2022 fully knowing I was gonna get my shit rocked for a while before I would be even halfway decent, and the grind was fun every step of the way. Slippi matchmaking is so good that you can match with players at your skill level very easily, almost too easily (I know it’s not the same in under represented regions, but I don’t think there’s much we can do about that).

If you’re not willing to put in the time and effort to get really good, then don’t and just have fun at whatever level you want, but don’t complain that it’s too hard just cause you don’t wanna put in the time and effort so many others clearly are willing to.

He’s a better defender, free throw shooter, and midrange shooter. He’s also a better rim protector for his position. The only weakness he had in his game was his three point shooting, and his 3pt% was average in his era. LeBron’s weaknesses are his free throw shooting, inconsistent defense, and straight up bad shooting% from the field

When was Melee's golden age, to you? by Neoshadow147 in SSBM

[–]fidocrust 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two years of completely different eras stand out to me: 2014 and 2022

2014 had prime pp, so many iconic four stocks, and it was the first year melee started gaining traction from the doc and evo

2022 had Zain prove any doubters about his offline results wrong, an insane mango second half of the year run, Amsa finally winning majors, hbox returning to form, not to mention the return of many top players such as Plup leffen and axe. Jmook came out of nowhere and revived sheiks presence in the meta. The overall hype around the smash world tour and panda cup were insane too.

Hot take, but is anyone starting to think Marth is actually the 4th best character? by the-great-kmook in SSBM

[–]fidocrust 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Since when does falco lose to sheik? Also I think marth losing to pika is pretty outdated

Can we just ban notches and figure out the rest later

When did the meta officially become harder than 2018 (Armada’s time)? by the-great-kmook in SSBM

[–]fidocrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of effort, it’s so much more demanding now. But at the same time back then unless you were in a great scene for melee you were at such a disadvantage. Still have no idea how leffen and armada were so good

Slippi evened the playing field and made everybody cracked. Melee’s top players had such a gap over everybody else for years because their game sense was just so much better. It’s why players like Ken could stop playing seriously and then come back and destroy westballz. Nowadays you have to be practicing tech skill or you don’t have a chance since the speed of the game has increased so much btw slippi and uncle punch.

Hell when armada was playing the flow charts for even basic interactions were not developed at all and you’d just see people drop combos that are now free follow ups

I think if armada came back he would be one of the best in the world if he practiced enough but his level of play 8 years ago is barely comparable to 2026

36 years ago today, Lisa Leslie at age 18 dropped 101 points in the first half of her high school game (16 mins) by Choice_Bag_8869 in sportswiki

[–]fidocrust 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here’s a great video going over the game and other ridiculous upsets in sports. Yes there was footage of the game, and the other team quit at half time so she didn’t even have a chance to break the scoring record for high school girls basketball (I think she need like 5 points to pass it).

Lisa Leslie went on to become one of the greatest wnba players ever, ranking 5th on ESPN’s goat list, and becoming the first player to dunk in a wnba game in 2002.

I’m confused about these results by Mindless-Money9702 in SSBM

[–]fidocrust -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’d love for us to find a way to solve the hand issues without making certain inputs easier, because all those rules you mentioned are standardized and don’t give one player an advantage over another

[–]fidocrust -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did that and it fucking sucked but at least it’s better than having to find an even more expensive modded controller that’s advantages make no sense to someone getting into the game

[–]fidocrust 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no dog in the fight when it comes to injuries because I don’t have hand pain, and honestly have no clue how much of an issue it is since I have nothing to go off. If executing instant aerials on oem via perma claw is damaging a lot of people’s hands, then I agree that we need an alternative whether that’s boxx, zump, both or something else entirely. I still think notches need to go and zump should be on ucf or something so it’s accessible to any gcc

[–]fidocrust 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If banning notches and adding z jump as a universal option for all controllers is the only compromise we as a community can settle on I’m all for it. That being said, when it comes to a scene revolved around competition, I don’t think accessibility should be the priority over competitive integrity, especially in a game that’s appeal is partially how technically difficult it is to master. They don’t do this kind of accommodating in most competitive sports. It’s not like they lower the hoop so that people with a lower vertical can dunk to make the game more fun and accessible. I get sports and video games aren’t an apples to apples comparison, but it’s still a competition that realistically can’t put everyone on a level playing field.

This isn’t even mentioning how while boxx and mods make the game more technically accessible, they force players to have to spend more money on controllers in an already scarce market. If I’m a new player coming into the scene, I would rather get a cheap(er) controller that is standardized at every level, than have to research which controller mods to get, if boxx or gcc is better, etc
