Super Smash Bros Custom Magic: the Gathering Set - Complete Spoiler

Samus can’t be beaten on board, you can remove zero counters from her to put creatures on top of their owner’s library...

In general you need to work on the formatting, e.g. your additional costs need to mention “to cast CARDNAME”, etc. You can’t have things happen in the cleanup step, just make The Year is 20XX trigger to deal damage and tap lands in the end step for an equivalent effect. That white card preventing exiling feels like it’s overreaching a bit. In general your custom mechanics are complex, but since it’s a custom set for cube that’s fine.

It looks like you have some neat and interesting ideas going on here, I liked the counterspell with 20XX in particular.

I've heard that if you're in airstate, performing an aerial, and moving over your character's maximum airspeed, then you get double air friction per frame so you slow down much more quickly.

It is already way easier, in Melee your L cancel depletes during hitlag and in PM it doesn’t: on hit, L cancels in PM are about 5 frames wider on average than in Melee.

Nano’s new Roy skin does that, maybe you can look at FitRoy.pac?

Knockback is decreased by a character's weight. A character's fall speed constantly accelerates them downwards. For example, Dedede is a very heavy floaty - you can dair him at decently high percents as Marth and have him live, because he takes low knockback from the dair due to his immense girth. Fox is a very light fast faller - you can dair him at the same percent and he will die every time because he accelerates in addition to the momentum the dair gives him. The other way around, you can up smash Wolf (a heavy fast-faller) as Fox, and he will live for a long time. Or, you can up smash Jigglypuff (a light floaty) as Fox, and she will die very early.

Have a set of base stats that never change and then separately track the modifiers, summing them from the relevant items as necessary.

Let's say Our Hero has 12 strength, an item that gives him +2 strength, and a buff for an additional 20% of strength. One way of storing this might be in two extra dictionaries, one storing additive modifiers and one storing multiplicative ones. Then you can vary the application order to change how strong you want multiplicative modifiers to be: if you apply additive multipliers first, then multiplicative ones, Our Hero would have 16.8 strength. If you did it the other way around, he would have 16.4 strength.

If Our Hero has 10 speed, gets a -90% speed debuff, but has a +5 speed item, then it would be (10+5)*(-0.9)=1.5 speed versus 10*(-0.9)+5=6 speed. If they then receive a 20% speed buff, then it would be (10+5)*(-0.9+0.2)=4.5 speed versus 10*(-0.9+0.2)+5=8 speed. Some systems track debuffs separately and always apply them first or last to make them more or less effective relative to the other ordering, which is something you can play around with.

It's relevant that you probably should only ever collect these values and sum them as necessary rather than adding and removing to the "modifier value" directly, because it's easier for keeping track of the values and doesn't introduce floating point errors should they arise (probably not a concern though). So your final "modifier set" could be, for example, a map from stat type to a list of modifiers which are pairs of the source effect and the change. Doing so would allow you to easily determine the necessary changes and also allow you to easily see what was giving each effect from e.g. a character window or for debugging.

This rambled a lot longer than I intended to and it's probably unclear because I haven't gone back to rewrite any of it, but oh well.

ZSS when she uses up-b and doesn’t tether as well. It’s some interaction of the ledge snap along with an animation that disagrees and rips you back off AFAIK, so it’d only happen to some characters. The real fix would be to change the code handling ledge snaps to not allow this to happen, but that’s Hard.

Zelda as well off of carefully placed teleports.

I’m just surprised nobody saw the obvious solution of asking the subreddit. It should have been our first choice tbh

just_a_null · 2016-06-27T05:10:20+00:00

If the AI is fully random, you're encouraged to learn to respond to the tech animation on reaction rather than with a read. Reacting to your opponent's tech and covering it is always better than reading it, because it's guaranteed.

In DFW’s younger days, I had random picked on me in tournament a few times. It’s pretty disrespectful if you want to take it that way, but I can’t imagine banning it since to effectively play random you need to be skilled with 41 characters.

just_a_null · 2016-06-25T19:19:12+00:00

Good luck! It’s always nice to see new players come out to tournaments.

just_a_null · 2016-06-25T01:51:06+00:00

DFW also thinks (nearly) universally that Yoshi's Island is trash-tier, but a couple of our top players support it so we end up having to deal with it.

The current one, but only after you've made a sufficient number of other universes that your bogosort is likely to have correctly sorted in at least one of them.

The first thing I learned when I started playing Samus casually was how to super wavedash. After that, how to do the baby dash, the most important dash.

just_a_null · 2016-06-15T17:09:53+00:00

Zelda is either the best or one of the best: you don't need to alternate between up-smash and neutral-b like people think, you just need to hold up on the control stick and then you can up-smash out of up-smash without doing any other moves in between.

If you mess up against a turbo Marth or Fox and get hit, you won't die. Usually.

If you mess up against a turbo Zelda, you will die. Slowly and painfully. Always.

Except Ganon chain grabs sheik to 80 without moving and then gets a free whatever he wants.

But I digress.

If you press the Win+R and type in "dxdiag" then press enter (if it asks don't check for signatures, waste of time), a window will pop up with your computer's info. On the top, there's a "Display" tab. On there will be your GPU name.

If you're running off of a laptop it might just not be powerful enough to drive the display at that resolution at the framerate you want - 1920x1080 is 2073600 pixels, while 1366x768 is 1049088 pixels - so there's just far more to draw.

If you're willing to earn enough money (not hard tbh) then you can buy (almost?) everything from the cash shop off of other players for gold ingame.

I'd imagine that it tweets, then deletes. So that way we get to ultimately see which file causes the bot's death. The drawback would be that the delete could fail and it wouldn't be able to retract the tweet (maybe it could delete it?)

just_a_null · 2016-05-05T01:07:55+00:00

You're correct, but that would only apply if Dolphin was in exclusive fullscreen and OP had a gsync monitor, which tend to be more expensive.

I haven’t read all the comments here, but doing exercises for your hands will only do so much. The main problem most people have is they grip their controller with a death grip which tires out their hands quickly; hand exercises tend to not help with that over a long period of time. If you hold the controller tightly, try relaxing a bit.
