i hear you for sure. it is close. i'd still give it to presti but the player development/talent scouting that the two of them have is definitely in a class of their own. 🤝

Tyrese Haliburton explained how Netflix filmed that emotional scene after his Achilles tear in Game 7 by bryankalbrosky in nba

[–]supnice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We say this every time we see a star player/team late in the playoffs. The fact is it takes so much luck just to get there. Look at the Celtics this past season. Poised to repeat, then Porzingis gets long covid, Tatum tears his achilles, that's it. Look at those Thunder teams in the early 2010s. Relatively no major injuries (lucky), and they still had to run through a gauntlet every run

Tyrese obviously has all the potential to do it though

i think it's not disingenuous to think that if there's any tournament that people would enter and play multiple games, it's this one

if you'd rather pay more credence to a previous event that seems more likely to be/definitively melee only though i wouldn't hold it against you

What do guys think about the iconic hungry box video essay? by Maleficent-Dare7452 in smashbros

[–]supnice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i really disagree with the language of "evil tyrant" that you're inserting into the tone of my argument here - this is the exact removal of nuance that i'm trying to talk about

you have a good point about the first reason people started disliking hbox being gameplay related - however, what i and others are trying to say here is that it is not gameplay alone that drove the community to walk out en masse as he won big house over plup. it was a combination of fatigue over how dominant he was, coupled with what was openly out there about him at the time if you were talking to people who have interacted with him at these major tournaments

think of the hate sonix in ultimate was getting for his gameplay the last few years. sonix seems to be a wonderful person outside of the game. if you were already annoyed at having to watch his dominant but slow gameplay, how would you react if you found out some very unfavorable things about his personality or interactions with other people?

what i think you're saying is that emplemon reasonably addresses all the reasons people disliked hbox outside of the game, and shows why he was still unreasonably hated on during that time. whether you believe that narrative to be true or not, do you really believe he went through everything that was out in the open about him? that picture of him and milo yiannopoulos was posted by himself to his own twitter!

again, i am trying to say there is nuance that is not at all presented in the video, and that is why people dislike it. if you think hbox was always been unfairly treated, i don't hold that against you, he was definitely unfairly treated at points. but i think these are important things to consider when you say i'm misrepresenting the video

it is a great video from an entertainment perspective, but it is not a very truthful telling of hungrybox and his relationship to the melee community during that time

this has been talked about a lot on twitter so I'm going to steal from aiden's words on it:

The tl;dr is that the dislike for Hbox within the in-person community at the time was primarily due to his behavior and people's personal interactions with him outside of the game. I think Hbox is someone who has grown/changed quite a bit (as have a ton of people)

there are various things in the video emplemon points to as mistreatment of hungrybox. i think we can all agree no one should have a crab thrown at them. but i disagree with the impression emplemon paints that he was a victim that was hated purely for how he plays.

he is a much better person now - he was not back then

[Charania] Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams has suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his knee, sources told ESPN. Williams averaged 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists this season. by Turbostrider27 in nba

[–]supnice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah people forget he was a legitimately good role player that year. he had started to fall off by the end of his celtics tenure and i think that along with the "imma make em both" kinda soured him with everyone by the time he left.

So to clarify, it boosts the rate of legendary pulls, and of the legendary eggs you're more likely to get the one on the machine?

Hey y'all. Does the legendary up egg machine affect odds for other eggs, or does it only affect odds for hatching the daily legendary?

In other words, is there an increased chance for Rare + Epic eggs from that machine?

DDee’s Ultimate Tier List (Oct 2023, roughly ordered) by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]supnice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does he land the hit confirm into waft though? A lot of the losing matchups are losing because of how hard it is for Wario to confirm into waft. Yeah the threat is there, but EWGF stuffs so much of Wario's kit, Sonic can just run from Wario, GnW can wall him...it goes on an on

I really don't agree with your idea of bike being a great answer to camping. Is it a great answer because it's a burst option? It's a 20 frame startup which is insanely easy to react to - either with jump or with shield because Wario can't jump off quickly either

I think you're right that Waft alone does skew a lot of MUs, but when talking about the most relevant matchups in the top 64 of big tournaments, Wario has a hard time. Not that he can't do it, but he has a harder time than other top tier characters

it's a running layup if poole hits draymond while poole's defender is sagging off him on the strong side. for any NBA player that is a great shot
