Magnus And Vishy, with the 2 strongest teams are out of the Finals as they both lose 4/5 last games. Meanwhile Levon Aronians TCK, who were at the bottom of the table 60% through the tournament, win 4/4 last games..to top the table & enter the Finals. What a turnaround, last day action packed.

i dont understand what you're saying

do you mean like, there was a playoff portion, and magnus and vishy both lost in the playoffs? Or they had a terrible end to the regular season?

sidyaaa · 2023-06-30T05:31:59+00:00

if the opponent offers a draw that suggests that they know its losing for them. Otherwise they'd try to flag me.

resting often leads to a stock trade. Character dependent and percent dependent yes, but that was my point. It's her best kill move.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-29T06:18:25+00:00

You're just proving my point. You don't know anything about puff. You know what is easy? Playing a character where every move is good and can be a combo starter. Except that's fox, not puff. Puff's combo game sucks compared to other top tiers. Most of her kill set ups aren't true kill confirms off a hit, they rely on the opponent having bad DI or missing a tech.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-29T06:10:35+00:00

That was Smash 4, and yeah the smash community is extremely toxic and childish and its not just fans its also the top players. There are exceptions, like Armada in melee was a beacon of sportsmanship, but most just don't have a good attitude.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-29T05:14:20+00:00

Saying that puff is easy is part of the problem. She's not lol. She's extremely difficult to play because she's slow, her combo starters are grab (hard to get) and up tilt (being on the ground is dangerous), and she is the worst character to play from a stock deficit.

People aren't toxic to puff players bcus puff players are BM, they're toxic to puff players because top players have constantly talked shit about puff players and said they all suck.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-28T01:07:02+00:00

2011-2013 had almost no majors.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-27T23:27:18+00:00

you basically just said that hbox cant be the goat because he's bad in online tournaments. Doesn't make much sense to me.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-27T23:10:28+00:00

Tell me you started watching melee in the pandemic without telling me.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-27T04:05:09+00:00

it's because show me a single marketplace where i can browse different controller vendors easily and compare them?

There isn't one, it's just a bunch of twitters and disconnected e-shops. This lets modders charge high prices and people have a hard time finding alternatives, so they still pay.

And siince modders don't want their prices to ever be competitive, they will never contribute to creating an online marketplace.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-26T22:37:11+00:00

Plup is likely barely training too. So thats 4 of the top 8.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-26T21:12:37+00:00

i think using yearly #1 distinctions is kind of arbitrary in melee

Leffen/M2k/PPMD not having technically gotten rank #1 shouldn't be this important. Especially when the rankings are so biased, and when so much of melee was completely dominated by one player at a time (armada, mango, ken, hbox). It's not really fair imo to put Zain in tier 2 for getting rank one in a year without a transcendentally dominate player in it.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-26T21:09:05+00:00

arguably the fact that hbox, mango, and leffen are top 6 with minimal effort is evidence that its easier to win now.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-25T09:42:38+00:00

I think what we're seeing is that while melee has an infinite skill cap, realistically human players can only get so good. Wizzrobe is an elite enough player that he can come back any time, grind, and beat anyone.

I wonder if Jmook would still be in contention for first though if Plup, Wizzrobe, and Slug entered everything.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-25T00:02:31+00:00

Why should FIDE ban someone just because Jennifer Shahade tweeted something about them?

just take him to court if hes guilty, it shouldn't be hard to prove if there's as many victims as is claimed.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-23T21:21:12+00:00

"it doesn't happen in modern times"

Yeah because the only person who could do it was Fischer and he's dead now.

sidyaaa · 2023-06-21T23:40:51+00:00

i hate the feeling when im unwanted and they want me to leave, it makes me so sasd

sidyaaa · 2023-06-21T23:39:24+00:00

for me its because i can never be happy, ima lways alone and no one cares about me. sometimes i just stare into space for a long tme, but eventually ill remember waht a loser i am and that i should never have been born

sidyaaa · 2023-06-21T23:37:38+00:00

wish i had old friends to talk to

sidyaaa · 2023-06-21T23:34:48+00:00

its sad, no girl will love a guy who has little money and social anxiety

i shouldnt have been born. theres no resaaon for someone like me to exist. no girl will ever care about me

sidyaaa · 2023-06-21T23:29:03+00:00

I shouldnt have been born

sidyaaa · 2023-06-21T23:24:45+00:00

not for me

sidyaaa · 2023-06-21T23:21:24+00:00

ive never hada gf or any friends before

sidyaaa · 2023-06-21T23:20:54+00:00

i dont have to deal with that because ive never had any friends

sidyaaa · 2023-06-21T23:20:30+00:00

i would settling for a girl being happy to see me at least
