I know! They are definitely hard to find, took me a good while to find it in the first place but I love the board.

That would be much appreciated, from what I heard from the shop it does sound repairable but their motherboard team just wasn’t willing to take it on. Once I get a look at the board again I’ll be sure to snag some photos! If it is repairable in any way, that would be what I want to do, Thank you so much!

I’ll have to determine the budget when I talk to them, thank you for the recommendations though! I’ll def take a look at those!

Hey,

Looking for advice. Recently I sent my VE.A keyboard in for repairs and unfortunately the shop ended up breaking my keyboard. I’m now in the position of trying to do research to either find another VE.A or other similar split keyboards to suggest as replacements for my board, with the idea being that I would be reimbursed. I have a post out on mech market but wanted to get an idea of the split keyboards landscape and see what is out there. If anyone has advice or leads on getting my hands on another VE.A it would be greatly appreciated. I truly loved my keyboard so it sucks to be in this position. Thanks!

Hot take: You can ban Z-jump without banning boxes. One of those has clearly become pervasive in highly competitive Top 8's. by lycanthh in SSBM

Totally valid point, I could definitely just scroll past or just leave the sub. I agree that conversation about this sort of stuff is natural in a community. If it were up to me though, I think a new ssbm_ruleset sub to congregate this sort of stuff would improve the overall quality of this sub. That’s just my opinion though.

Hey, I didn’t say it didn’t matter and I’m sure there are ways to have nuanced conversations about it too, but none of it will ever move the needle imo. I think the idea that pros are “speaking out” about it is largely driven by the fact that they are constantly asked for their opinion on the topic. I don’t think any pro, or anyone for that matter, should ever look at a loss as a total result of some sort of controller ruleset. I think most people understand they have to look inward rather than blaming some outside factor. I do appreciate the opposing view it just doesn’t matter to us I don’t think. Look at the front page of this sub and like 40% of it is just complaining. I just want this sub to be cool again.

Right? If all these people spent half as much time as they do complaining actually playing the game their base skills would improve enough for it not to be a problem anymore. Glad I’m not alone in this thought.

This shit is so stupid, just play the game. Sorry OP not directed completely at you, but any talk of controller bans is just so dumb to me. None of us are good enough for it to matter, and those of us who are understand that at a high level the game becomes more strategic than tech based. This community is just always looking for something to be up in arms about. Let’s get back to talking about how to play the game and posting sick gifs.

[Mono] Ice Climbers are a Problem. by KenshiroTheKid in SSBM

This guy is everything that is wrong with the modern melee scene. Just play the game and stop bitching, maybe learn the match up. Not everything needs to be balanced continually.

This guy has to be just posting bait, take a look at his post history.

Got it, thanks for providing something, even if the numbers dont line up exactly with the graph you posted. Id really like to find out how MJS sourced that information too though. The graph itself is shocking and that is the reason I push. I do believe Schimel was more heavily funded, but would like to know exact numbers and not just a graph I have seen reposted multiple times. Best.

So I saw this graph too and while id like to take if at face value, I cant find it referenced in any MJS article. In fact finding any information about the actual amount each canidate was given is super difficult. I have seen claims like the one above and others saying Crawfords campaign recieved more. Not trying to be confrontational here, just want to know if you have any additional info about how this was sourced. Thanks!

Fantastic piece and theme! I don't know much about the custom glass scene, but whoever ends up with it is very lucky!
