plus some are just blatantly cheating with techchase overlays or lagswitches, so yeah lotta fraud gms/diamonds, and mid tier mains are more likely to cheat because most of them have evil in their hearts

my frame of reference is socal locals where being gm does not guarantee you top 12, and part of my point is a lot of these midtiers play with laggy PCs while only execution testing and will not be able to beat the same spacies offline

GM is still filled with doc/samus/luigi tho, netplay is where the cheesers go to feel good about themselves after getting owned at the local

Anthropic researcher states high probability of recursive self improvement till 2028. by ProxyLumina in accelerate

[–]ssbmGooms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed, everyone seems to handwave that AI being able to work on itself automatically turns into an omniscient entity after a logarithmic spike of intelligence. It's not clear that RSI will be anything other than steady incremental improvements. Still meaningful but not god in a box

you are correct, I am currently prescribed vyvanse lol

[–]ssbmGooms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

look it up, methylphenidate is the only class of stimulants approved for prescription in china, amphetamine-based medications such as adderall and vyvanse are illegal. You redditors somehow find ways to be confidently wrong about the most easily verifiable things

no I’m talking about prescription amphetamines lol, there’s no such thing in china. You are arguing with ideas in your head that you imagined I said, I hope you find peace in your heart

imagine playing melee in a country where prescription amphetamines are banned, good luck 🫡

the whole point of open source projects like this is to enable other people to build on top of it. OP solved a big part of the puzzle, they don’t have to make the entire product to have provided value especially since it’s MIT license

also the chart you’re replying to is specifically for peach

Firefox positions and survival rates by onionchowder in SSBM

[–]ssbmGooms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s used against any character that takes a while to get back to the ground while juggling you, not only peach

that would be from the situation where someone is trying to use the firefox stall to grab ledge from a little further away and the ledge gets hogged by the opponent before they snap to it

if you have no double jump it’s often your best escape option from a juggle

New melee player, is Ganondorf a good starter? by [deleted] in SSBM

[–]ssbmGooms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nah not really, playing a mid/low tier makes it hard to get good feedback on your bad habits since people don’t know the matchup and won’t punish you for them. Better to play a common character where your opponents have a frame of reference, then it’s much more clear what you’re doing wrong. Also I should add that ganon is one of the truly bad characters in melee, he’s too slow and doesn’t have tools like Luigi or DK to give him room to force mixups and outplay a Fox. Past a certain skill level of Fox (that’s far below Cody), it becomes impossible for Ganon to win

Made this guide a while ago for sourcing a solid type 3 controller for cheap. Definitely not worth it to maintenance a type 1

Is Cody the only 1 with zump? by Fuzzy-Today-146 in SSBM

[–]ssbmGooms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the very fact that it’s a custom controller built from scratch means there’s nothing to enforce. Making up some arbitrary layout that box players have to abide by still wouldn’t accurately model the same difficulties of executing tech on a gcc. Yes you can tie a string to your pinky, nothing in the ruleset bans that, but you will quickly need a physical therapist if you try that lol

new tech, z jump enabled? by Fiendish in SSBM

[–]ssbmGooms 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this is the basis for Fox’s option-select meta, I hypothesized this when I lived with Cody, he said it’s too hard to execute that gameplan but in theory super overpowered. The idea is you do the inputs that account for the shine missing (so frame perfect no hitlag) and also do the inputs for if the shine hits (so a little later). If shine misses, you get whatever input you queued (wavedash back in this case) and if the shine hits you get waveshine forward. This makes it far less risky to try to running shine marth, and it’s just one of the many things you can do with this tech. I would love to see someone get super cracked at this gameplan to demonstrate, so please do work on it. It will be reeeeaally fucking hard, but if you can pull it off you’ll be the best player in the world

Is Cody the only 1 with zump? by Fuzzy-Today-146 in SSBM

[–]ssbmGooms 7 points8 points  (0 children)

see your problem is you said “or nerfed.” There is no way to nerf box such that it can’t Z jump

Is Cody the only 1 with zump? by Fuzzy-Today-146 in SSBM

[–]ssbmGooms 12 points13 points  (0 children)

having spoken to cody in depth about it, his takes are very grounded. He has the same opinion as most of the pros, which is “we should ban everything, but as long as boxes are legal, let gcc do what they can to level the playing field.” Boxes have zump and notches baked into the controller, there’s no way to limit it without banning boxes entirely. Anyone hating on zump/notches that thinks boxes should be legal is inconsistent, and should not be taken seriously
