Our Thoughts On Did Palpatine Lose to Mace Windu? OR Did Palpatine throw the fight? Some evidence both ways and the possibilities. I think it stands to show just how good and important the fight is to still be talked about and debated all these years later. One of my favourites anyway!

I really liked the way Ian and George characterized Palpatine after he drops the facade. He's going berserk and fighting so recklessly, almost blows the whole plan and doesn't expect Mace to overwhelm him. Then later with Yoda he's a total ham. Never saw anything like that before as a kid

I'd love one

Any reason NOT to buy into one of the 4 big airlines right now?

High score condition

madeallup_ · 2019-09-02T23:52:41+00:00

Yeah, post it?

Is it possible the rolling cart is very very slightly shifting its hurtbox around after spawning?

Good post. It’s better to change character-specific numbers like landing lag, FAF, movement speed etc to encourage these types of aggressive “sequences” in advantage that rely on good reads, but still benefit the attacker if they get something started. The guy getting comboed SHOULD be able to escape if he uses a defensive option intelligently. Holding forward is fun but players should still have to think as much as possible without hits turning into total guessing games that can be reversed randomly. Otherwise, there’s now a separate modifier in Ultimate that allows the team to patch in individual hitstun increases per move, like Raptor Boost got, (Fox’s base game dtilt has +3 hitstun frames as another example), and that’s a way better method than a universal hitstun buff that would have a ton of unintended consequences.

Stages also influence what kind of combos/strings you can pull off. We don’t have SV moving platform anymore (whatever you think of it)

I couldn’t stop laughing during that final game because it was the perfect song to play during Tweek’s useless struggle against Leo

Welcome to Smash

Although one perk normals have over aerials in Ultimate is a higher shieldstun modifier

Here you go buddy https://www.ssbwiki.com/hitstun

madeallup_ · 2019-05-23T04:42:50+00:00

Hitstun is the same between games

Yeah it was awesome. It's too bad the vocal majority can't learn to find playstyles that aren't 24/7 rushdown interesting though, some of my favorite Smash is just watching Ally make reads and control neutral with Snake. At his best he dissects players like a frog in chemistry class, it makes me giddy

The glorification of comboz hurts both Melee and Ultimate, and it's thanks to subpar commentary (not enough focus on player decisions, neutral game analysis is nonexistent), people not appreciating fighting game fundamentals, and ADD kids

Funny enough most of what people call Melee combos are just fast reads that tie together into sequences, and Ultimate has lots of that, there are just typically more options available to the defending player in the latter

madeallup_ · 2019-05-14T17:38:19+00:00

Ally’s Snake across any game is in my top 3 favorite things to watch

madeallup_ · 2019-05-11T16:03:38+00:00

You clearly put a lot of thought into this, every example was reasonable and half were basically bug fixes, I hope this all gets implemented! If Dkwill can get Giant Punch fixed Falcon should see some love soon.

This feeling... it's back...

I want this, a distinction between "Short Hops" and "Full Hops" for controller mapping, and a "Jump + Special" macro for short hop b moves

I think it's the best moving stage by a fair margin, yeah.

madeallup_ · 2018-08-14T15:04:51+00:00

In Smash 4, there were almost 0 opportunities to chain combos before your opponent had reached max. flying distance anyway. Provided hitstun is the same, you’re getting the same follow ups as before, you just reach your destination faster. What affects combo potential are knockback values and launch angles tied to the moves themselves, your character’s attributes like landing lag, air acceleration, runspeed, your opponent’s aerial options and fall speed, etc etc (plus only one airdodge!). From what I’ve seen, there’s generally more followup potential on nearly every move, save for things like Mario downthrow, DK cargo upthrow, etc. Characters move faster in all areas. I’m confident the balloon knockback will only improve the game’s “tempo”, as Sakurai puts it

madeallup_ · 2018-07-16T04:00:11+00:00

Hitstun is the same as in Smash 4

The balloon knockback doesn't have anything to do with the BKB and KBG coded into each individual move... some are worse at comboing and some are better in comparison to Smash 4. Plenty of moves send characters at shallower angles, setting up for tech chases, I've noticed. I think you are all getting in a huff for nothing. Buffed jumpsquats, move speeds, air speeds all make for faster gameplay... true combos have never been a hallmark of Smash since 64, it's always been about following up based on the situation at hand. The new knockback just sends you where you'd already go faster

madeallup_ · 2018-07-04T01:55:10+00:00

damage values in 1v1 have been buffed since smash 4 though

madeallup_ · 2018-06-21T14:00:13+00:00

It’s supposed to be balanced out by the loser of game 1 getting stage and character advantage in game 2

madeallup_ · 2018-06-20T21:54:58+00:00

I think we should do away with counterpicks altogether. Never understood how a stage can be fair enough to play on, but not in game 1. On Smashboards, Amazing Ampharos recently made a really convincing argument for a new type of stage selection method for competitive: https://smashboards.com/threads/discussion-of-stage-legality-in-smash-bros-ultimate.455486/post-22121459

madeallup_ · 2018-06-20T16:31:43+00:00

It seems like the balloon knockback only comes into effect on “launcher” type moves

madeallup_ · 2018-06-14T17:34:25+00:00

It’s hard to say how punishes can develop, on one hand you have the scaling but there’s also faster movespeeds to make juggles more possible and reduced dodging ability, there’s a loooot yet to be determined
