given the recurring prevalence of sexual offenders in the melee community i think it is only fair said community takes mandatory time off from melee in order to seek therapy. enforced by a ban from melee as well as on discussing said ban. it's for their own good after all

>>718026406
what was the point of going for the side b there? Seemed like the fox was already too far to make it back anyway.

So what has meleeschizo seething this time? Did technicals make another video making fun of the melee community?

>>718027934
How is Zain scum? Cody, sure.

>>718028053
he is a jeet

meleefags STILL have a chip on their shoulder. Surley this made waves since it had more antrants than evo?

>>718028053

>>718028053
Zain is just kind of off. I can't explain it. I'm sure he's a nice person if you actually know him or whatever, but him holding his tongue on the whole Hax situation really soured my opinion of him. At least I prefer his play to Cody's.

Clanking is a horrid mechanic designed by aliens. Imagine getting punished for trying to whiff punish someone. JEJ.

Do NOT let the Dall3 general see this post.

>>718031226
what do you think it should do instead when two similar strength hitboxes overlap?

>>718027735
The only competition worth having is the one against yourself, you comp playing casualnigger.
There is nothing more casual and cringe than esports.

>>718024306
>barely made top 16
He made top 16. How do you "barely" make it? He placed within the top 16 players

>>718031112
okay
but was there a zain tweet where he said something incorrect

>>718033814
How about a trade like a normal fucking game? Also making your hitboxes neurotypical in general would help a lot. Like ganon's jab hitbox should only be on his wrist and hand rather than his entire upper body. This example is actually pretty tame compared to all the egregious hitboxes in this kuso. Just goes to show how terribly designed the game is.

>>718031112
Hax was crazy. What's the crime here?

>>718034410
>hypercasual doesn't know what pushboxes are or why you'd want a hitbox that extends further inwards in a game where characters can fucking run through each other
jesus, what a sad display of confident ignorance

>>718034410
A trade like that can be very one sided compared to something like Street Fighter due to the percent mechanic imo. In SF you'd both just recoil and reset, but in Smash it could lead to one person being sent off the map. Clanking is the more neutral result

all yes ALL melee top players and community leaders are pedos

What?
But Hbox got third?
You know, the guy that made armada quit. The guy that washed armada out so hard he decided to become a speedrunner.
You could argue 4th at best, but realistically he wouldn't get top 8. We like to pretend Cody and zain are bad at the game but they aren't, they're just boring (and shit in schwab's case) people. Similarly aura or trif have a lot of tech armada never learned (cause it and controllers that could consistently hit it didn't exist) like hyperfloats. I like the guy too, but this level of fellatio is embarassing

>>718043542
But you don't see fags constantly going into SF threads crying that top 8 is just Ken, JP and Akuma. Or how there are low tier characters.

>>718043837
Yeah, I post in them fairly frequently.
Used to for Tekken as well but 8 is a shitshow and I refuse to play it anymore.

>>718043472
>4 out of 26
>4+3+2+2=11
>13 top tiers
Did you mean 5 top tiers? Cause that's about 1/5th of the cast. And it would be a bit disingenuous to say puff is a top tier, more that hbox is a top tier and now SDJ is having a cracked year. Unless you think Abu (and SDJ for a decade) was always a shitter that just couldn't hang.
Either way I think ~20% of the cast being repped is crazy high for a game. Why don't you find some top 16s where 1/4 characters in tekken or SF were repped to shut me up, or at least some with 1/5 to equal the tranny game you hate so much?
Oh wait, actually it was 9 characters in top 16. So 1/3 of the cast should show up

>>718021715 (OP)

>>718044867
>Zain
Melee is dead and has been dead for decades. Boring ass stagnant meta.

>>718043308
It's pretty damn close to a random distribution as well. The odds of getting 16 different characters in the top 16 is basically zero even with truly random selection. You're almost guaranteed to get a handful of doubles and maybe a triple/quadruple which is what happened.

>>718045063
Melee's been declared "dead" more times than Street Fighter's had new versions, and yet it still pulls consistent viewership, sells out venue spots, and has players grinding tech no one's seen before. Stagnant meta? Homie people are still figuring out new stuff with 20+ year old characters. Meanwhile, in modern fighters, you get five DLC drops and the meta resets like a toddler’s Etch A Sketch. Say what you want, but Zain vs CodyGR was more hype than anything in SF6 finals, and you know it.

>>718045976
I love melee, but zain vs ibdw is not interesting

>>718045976
Anyone saying "stagnant meta" is just empirically wrong.

>fighting game almost unlike any other
>decent size cast despite some reskinned movesets
>unique stage designs

>the announcer
The game will never die. It's the best Smash Bros. and at the very least, a pretty good fighting game overall.

>>718046390
>empirically wrong
Marth, Shiek, Spacies, all have dominated Melee's meta since it had a competitive meta. If you've seen any of these characters in a match, you've seen them all. Melee is the most boring shit to watch because it's all the same shit on repeat.

>>718034042

doesn't matter when a good chunk of them are nearly unusable

It makes me kinda sad that there really aren't other places to talk about Melee than Melee discords. /vg/ general seems to be more about ult stuff. /v/ always tries to spin towards idpol/e-celeb/flamewar which also sucks. At least some discords have cool people but I would want to talk about Melee anonymously.
It's annoying. Like just this>>718051589 alone is bit tiring and it feels like I'm stuck in some 2013 timeloop or something when people call characters unusable. One Kirby and one Luigi players keeps destroying me at locals. One of our top-players picks Mario against me in bracket and bullies me. Like do people only watch like majors/supermajors and thinks the meta through that?

>>718040352
>>718051820
Most people are plebs who could never even begin to comprehend how deep and difficult competitive gaming gets.

I'm a Marth main I've played m2k, s2j, but a recent example is ringler. Literally couldn't touch his dk. Everytime I thought I'd hit him he beats me with something else. Modern melee is just too developed

containment successful

>>718051930
I'm top 100 on ranked and sometimes I start feeling like I'm getting good at the game, and then I get matched with Zion and he three stocks me without trying

>>718051930
I think many anons are scared of Melee comp because
>People mainly play just to be good
>People are mainly interested in getting gud
>People mainly try to get along and are generally outcast
For /v/ playing a game for sake of it and wanting to get better at it is seen as one of the most embarrassing and cringe thing there is. On top of being on spectrum or being a social outcast makes you a minority on /v/ as well.
I think /v/ is bigger fan of games like CSS/CS2, ASSFAGGOTS, and BR stuff. Anything with a huge normalfag audience but where you never HAVE to communicate. /v/irgins only want to communicate, or rather complain, here. So the idea of old vidya, that is older than like 50% of /v/, having dedicated playerbase and people who play it because they wanna be good and have goals is seen as borderline disgusting thing. Same as speedrunning. Or stuff like collecting vidya. Honestly if someone on /v/ would post some 500+ game collection, anons would laugh at him for wasting his money or being "buycuck" etc.

Sad reality is that /v/ is full of normalfags and failed normalfags who desperately wants to "fit in" on some strange ideal of... Something, idpol related most likely, while making fun of anyone who is passionate about vidya at all.
Imagine someone posting a room with vidya stuff and /v/'s reaction to it.

My analysis

>>718052805
As Ganon main it fucking hurts.

>>718052805
Mekk definitely could have made a top 8 with Ganon if he had just stayed off twitter

>>718052935
I wonder how people can actually live their whole life through idpol shit.

>>718052765
There's nothing unique about Melee comp in your observations though. /v/ wants to enjoy themselves, and has a weird idea of fun. Is there ANY comp game that /v/ really cares about? I can't think of any. There's more than enough casual smash shit and that suits the people here better anyways.

>>718053167
>Is there ANY comp game that /v/ really cares about?
Not anymore.
/v/ finds any skill in vidya to be embarrassing, and instead prefers discussion about politics around vidya. Still comp Smash seems to be disliked even more than other comp fightan games. I also guess it's because the community is grassroots and not company approved so it's seen as wrong thing.

what is it with "gamecube kids" having obsessions on playing the worst games in their franchises

>>718053521
They're called cubies.

>>718053376
Its because they're all pedophiles and trannys that protect each other and ban/harass wrong think (aka pedophilia is bad, you shouldn't dress like a faggot around minors, we should ban pedophiles from events, etc)

This, /v/irgins unironically defend the Desert Bus races in Mario Kart World because they think anyone who mushrooms over a patch of dirt is automatically a sweaty compfag.

Hax is dead and Mang0 got jewed by the libtards and can't compete anymore. I don't even think chudat competes either.
it's dead

>>718040551
But troons are the ones playing melee now

>>718054401
Chu competes sometimes. He was at this tournament, but he bombed because he's washed up.

It absolutely is dead, despite what scar, tophjew, Hjew, IBeDaJew, etc will tell you (they have to tell you melee is fine because it's their jobs)

>>718054401
Chudat still goes to Smash Con but he only gets like top 64 at best, which is pretty good for a guy who has been retired for like 10 years.

In all seriousness is the whole troon thing a legit concern or is just a scapegoat for tourneyfags to try to salvage their washed community by claiming they are the good ones?

>>718052805
Mekk is a jobber who finally switched to Falcon. His trannon was never winning shit. Low IQ fair mashing ape character that only gets wins by cheesing impatient players. They all deserve to be circle camped on Dream Land for 8 minutes.

I wish it was an exaggeration

>>718052805
>Samus
>Luigi
>DK
These three characters are SO close to getting top 8. The players just make micro-mistakes/ have slightly sub-optimal mentalities that keep them from pushing to that next level. I think Rapmonster's Luigi has the most potential of the three though. He could have made top 8 at Supernova if not for the onslaught of Sheiks he had to wade through.

>>718055501
It depends on where you are but there really are a lot of trannies. I feel like of the university-aged people at my locals at least 10% of them are trannies.

>>718021715 (OP)
Melee is alright, i just think the game itself is too hard for his own good and Nintendo refusing to port it to Switch online, so you end up with a dwindling playerbase of old farts.
I prefer anime comp fighters compared to platform games anyway

This checks out with fighters because a lot of them are just mountains of jargon/ knowledge checks that obscure really simplistic coin flippy gameplay. Turd Strike and Mashen are great examples of this.
