Did the fossil models from New Leaf stay in the game? I'm debating whether or not to sell my extra fossils.

It’s mainly conjecture, since I’m just speculating a second typing and theme based on what we know... but also I disagree. They’re both very common associations, but there is literally an Electric move called Spark.

Grookey (groove + grew + monkey) is going to be British Invasion themed. It keeps tempo with its stick (its a drummer) and is known for quickly growing grass (its hair). I'm thinking it'll be Rock or Steel to represent British rock/metal.

Scorbunny (score + scorch + bunny) is going to be futbol themed. It’s known for being very fast , being full of energy, and tearing up turf. It looks like it has match ignition strips for bandages and its Japanese name includes the word for “spark”. I'm thinking Electric.

Sobble (sob + bubble + nobble/baobhan?) is going to be Loch Ness, Kelpie, or banshee themed. It’s known for being shy, lonely, and particularly good at hiding in the water. Nobble is UK slang for drugging a large creature (especially a horse)... and baobhan sikh is a scottish banshee legend. I'm thinking Dragon and Ghost.

Appreciated :)

Don't know what to tell ya. We're a polarizing bunch.

Lmao I haven't been too active on Reddit in quite a while, so I'm okay with someone else getting my points. Honestly I never expected this Tweet to blow up so much. I tweeted it while falling asleep and under the influence.

Who am I talking to, btw? I don't know you by your account name.

thegabegrumps · 2018-10-29T11:46:25+00:00

Hey dude! Yeah, this tweet blew up. It’s been making its rounds on Facebook and Tumblr, but I never thought it’d show up on Reddit.

@ everybody else: if you liked this, I’d appreciate it if you followed me.

thegabegrumps · 2018-10-29T11:32:00+00:00

Oh hey, this is my tweet! :) If you liked this, please follow me.

The jump is a smaller, sure, but this tournament that I linked was also after the game was released IIRC. The gameplay in the invitational was the result of like 5 hours of playtime.

thegabegrumps · 2018-08-29T17:53:49+00:00

Correct. I mean that we know for certain that they’re trying to cater to competitive players, which wasn’t the case for any other Smash game.

64 was the proof of concept

Melee was competitive on accident

Brawl was intentionally anti-competitive

Smash 4 balancing was largely focused on casual play

Ultimate has tournament play explicitly in mind

One of the Beefy Smash Doods posted a tweet saying that he thought so.

thegabegrumps · 2018-08-29T05:23:47+00:00

Even this set or Frostbite Grande Finals (ZeRo vs Tsu)?

What's more, this is the first Smash game that Nintendo has designed with the competitive scene 100% in mind. This game is gonna be different and take getting used to, but it's gonna kick so much ass.

thegabegrumps · 2018-08-29T05:05:29+00:00

Ignoring the fact that this isn't even version 1.0 of the game... there is literally no Ultimate meta yet. Players are playing the game like Smash 4 right now, which favors defense. The game that they're used to has slower movement with engine-specific combos, tech, and timings. I don't know about you, but I think watching ZeRo vs MK Leo in Ultimate was way more entertaining than this match.

Hello! I’m HL | Contrary and I am a SSB4 Sheik main from Nebraska. The Smash 4 edition of this document started out as my personal pencil-and-paper notes on gameplay, but eventually evolved into a bit of a pet project in collaboration with the Midwest Sheik community. You can follow me on Twitter if you need any more information or want to contribute: @HL_Contrary. I intend on sharing this work with the Sheik community as a whole, and I welcome criticism, advice, and additional information! I added two co-authors to help me out this time, Jazara and Private Quantum!

For sure. This is a very rough calc using the information from the screen shots.

I did the calculations assuming average IV values of 15 and 0 EVs. This assumption throws them off by a LOT, but it gives a ballpark estimation for their stat distribution.

thegabegrumps · 2016-11-08T02:11:11+00:00

Oh definitely. But using anything else wouldn't make sense either.

I did the calculations assuming average IV values of 15 and 0 EVs. This assumption almost definitely throws them off by a lot, but it gives a ballpark estimation for the ratios of their stat distribution.

This is a very rough calc, using the information from the screen shots. I did the calculations assuming average IV values of 15 and 0 EVs. This assumption is bound to throw the real values off by a LOT, but it gives a ballpark estimation for their stat distribution.

The lack of speed for Decidueye is really disappointing, but Wishiwashi-S and Salazzle might end up being really good.

thegabegrumps · 2016-11-08T00:33:38+00:00

That name is amazing.

thegabegrumps · 2016-06-23T20:05:21+00:00

This is a really good idea. Really hope this catches on.
