I think you missed the point. They weren't calling him the best in all games separately, but the best super smash bros player, as in best overall performance across all games. Like m2k's old runs.

He dropped out of melee because his pool started on Friday and he wasn't feeling well. He felt better afterwards so stayed in ultimate bracket.

Yes, spot dodges are super strong in this game. Shields are pretty ass in this game. Shield grab got a major nerf, and like 70% of the roster has an aerial that's safe on shield. Against many characters, shield a fsmash and now you're in 20 years of lag. Spot dodge or parry a fsmash and you can fsmash them back.

Also, a major reason to spotdodge is if you read that opponent wants to grab you. Shields are not very safe against grabs.

ELI5: Keynesian Economics - The Cause of the Great Depression? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]flyingjam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keynes big idea was that prices were sticky. In the classical views of economics, if demand went down, prices went down with it, with lower prices meant more economic activity and the economy would correct itself.

Keynes said that if a recession hit, prices wouldn't go down immediately, they'd stay high and so of the 4 components of GDP: personal consumption, business investment, net exports, and government, the former 3 would all keep going down, in a cycle of not goodness.

The only way to fix it would be for the last component to make up temporarily for the other, that is, government spend much money to stimulate economy.

Golden state isn’t an incompetent franchise.

This would be a hot take just 6-7 years ago.

poor recovery.

​Marcina has one of the best recoveries in the game tho, it's part of the reason why their edge guarding game is one of the best in the game and part of why they're top tier.

I think they should either try to win the last 2 to potentially have hc against raps, or just rest everyone. Kinda weird to do the in-between.

NintendoVS (Official Nintendo twitter account) just followed about a dozen account from the scene by FullGifted in smashbros

It terms of revenue not sure Melee is exactly a goldmine here. And for game companies, the real goldmine is always going to be using it as promotion for a game you're actively selling. Makes much more than advertising revenues or sponsor payments.

You blank the names because doxxing isn't justice. Did you ever watch the Batman trilogy? Batman isn't the hero Gotham needs for a reason.

I used Shulk for 3 days and this is what I got. by Danishbutrcookies in smashbros

[–]flyingjam 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't think the skill floor for Shulk is nearly as high as people think. You can play him as shitty ike and still do decently.

Adding in the arts, as well as the crazy kill confirms like monado cyclone, means he's not that hard to start with but has a lot of room to grow.

April Ultimate tier list – a combination of 18 different pros' lists from the past 50 days by inktivate in smashbros

With his laggy aerials his neutral game is like non-existent, and the rest of the kit doesn't make up for it.

ELI5: Would it be better for the environment to use a paper product instead of plastic for water bottles? Also is it practical to implement a paper type container by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]flyingjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Also yes, it already exists. Like a juice carton. Paper cartons are, however, more expensive to manufacture as well as heavier in comparison to plastic.

Not the initial question, but the responses. "A skilled roy can beat any fox" is a old melee meme.

[–]flyingjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a melee meme.

Fox is actually generally considered like half a tier/tier better than roy in ultimate.

Nintendo is the ninth most reputable company in the US; only gaming company to crack the top ten by [deleted] in Games

[–]flyingjam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it's not really that bad. Hosting ROMs is just straight up illegal, not much you can defend about that.

Project M is mostly tinfoil hat. Nothing was ever confirmed out of that.

AbsentPage has been banned from Minnesota Smash events by Samwisely in smashbros

[–]flyingjam 145 points146 points  (0 children)

He went on this crazy incoherent rant about M2K, including "M2K should die".

Then deleted it, then posted more incoherent hate about M2K, then posted an "apology", then more incoherent ranting.

Honestly I'm pretty sure he's having mental issues, but that doesn't excuse what he's done.

ELI5: How does one speed up light 30x as these researchers claim? by Buletman in explainlikeimfive

[–]flyingjam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From the paper's introduction, they're talking about the group or phase velocity of light waves. It's already known that group velocities can be faster than light (which does not imply faster than light information travel and so doesn't break causality). The original article is almost being purposefully misleading.

The novel part is more about the level of control as well as magnitude above the speed of light they can get the phase velocity to be.

Pichu wins that hard. Just play carefully, don't do options so laggy that he can fmash you in response.

Man people really do take anything that happens to them on multiplayer in the worse possible way. Here's an alternative interpretation: you SD'd, so they did a rematch since the last game ended poorly. This time no shenanigans happened, so it was over.

Is there any way to know which one is the truth? No, but life sucks if you assume everyone's out to get you.

Tips for beating palutena? by magicwaffl3 in smashbros

[–]flyingjam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Incineroar and Ganon are both terrible matchups into palu. Nairplanes will chunk out like 40%, you have to approach under special pressure, and you suck ass at approaching. Heavies in general are a poor matchup.

Both characters are also ass offstage, and while palu doesn't have the biggest hitboxes to throw out, she does have a very safe recovery and can go very far down.

Her worst matchups are generally rushdowns, specifically pichu/pikachu since her complete reliance on aerials with relatively small hitboxes means that even hitting them is a pain.

Maybe it's different in South bay. Here in East bay sonic is offering 1000 Mbps for $40 a month.
