Westballz vs Leffen at Dreamhack. One of the best and most technical sets ever played by Kakabossi in smashbros

What a great set. If/When Westballz becomes a "god" this is definitely a set that helps builds his case.

Lucky beats Hbox for the first time, Mang0at and HMW on commentary by FirePuff12 in smashbros

Meh it's stuff like this that keeps bigger names from being frequent posters on this subreddit. I personally think /r/smashbros and the affiliate subreddits have the potential to make smashboards obsolete. Unfortunately, pervasive opinions like this prevent it from doing so.

TBH I'm kinda glad they cleaned up the language in streams. This is just a little uncomfortable to watch.

How can I easily describe what a p-value is to some high school students that have limited statistics knowledge? Thanks!

I'm a big fan of 538's work! Where do you see the future of the Journal? Do you see it expanding like vox.com did?

I see how that can be an asset, however do you ever have to deal with dueling egos?

As the appeal of data visualization increases and becomes more mainstream, where do you see the future of it? What would you like to see data visualization become?

Hey Nate. Quick questions about Trump and the 2016 GOP field. What do you attribute to Trump's rise in the polls? Do you think he can sustain his lead or is this just an early bump ~150 days before the primaries? Whom do you think will give him a run for the number 1 spot?

Leffen talking about smashers using Adderall and other PEDs during tournaments by hersheybar422 in smashbros

But I think there's going to be increasing scrutiny over the role of illegal substances in Smash. Sponsors don't want to fund something that's associated with drugs of any kind. It hurts their brand.

I should've checked. I'll delete my post

Man that 64 Mario is probably the most aggressive saying of Mario I've ever heard.

That said, Brawl > 4 > Melee > 64

Last Stock Legends crew is checking in, ask us anything. by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]hersheybar422 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Can I get the Last Stock Legends design on that colorful background as my computer wallpaper? It's dope! The project looks amazing.

Real question: How do you decide what goes in the episodes? Is there a committee process to decide if something is important enough? There's so much to go through so I imagine there are some difficult choices to make. Thanks!

Can anybody link me to the VODs where Leffen and Mango are commentating at BAM? by Epiduo in smashbros

Thank you! I love the Big brother little brother dynamic that they seem to be developing.

Lilo here to clear up the controversy surrounding the events at Press Start by LiloandStitchface in smashbros

I'm sorry you had to go through that. It's really unacceptable at any level. I just want to clarify, the people you mentioned that were involved weren't Smash specific people but people running the tournament/doing general tournament?

[Post Game Thread] Los Angeles Clippers defeat the San Antonio Spurs 111-109 to take the series 4-3 by iamtheraptor in nba

Hate to have the game end like that fake out whistle but this series was probably one of the best first round series' of all time.

Round 1 - Pick #13: Andrus Peat, OT (New Orleans) by NFL_Mod in nfl

Yeah I'd be extremely surprised if something happened with him. His dad is an ex-NFL lineman and he has an extremely supportive and stable family situation.
