The most interesting part about the quarantined Smash community starting up online tournaments to fill the void is watching pro players slowly turn just as cancerous as the community at largeThis sounds... pretty entertaining to watch and laugh about.

This sounds... pretty entertaining to watch and laugh about.A lot of it just down to Nintendo being awful at Online, so with the additional demands on the servers due to quarantine, we now end up with #FixUltimate trending on Twitter for a signifcant time and prestigous tournaments being decided via no fault DQs.

There's nothing you can do when you have cancer like Leffen as one of the leaders of the smash community |
CaptainOfCrush posted... This sounds... pretty entertaining to watch and laugh about.Yesterday a well-known pro player was down 2-0 in bracket. He stopped the match complaining about lag (his opponent had taken a lag test previously and passed). His opponent was DQd because the squeaky wheel gets the grease as long as people know who you are, and the pro player went on to win the tournament. In a previous tournament, there was a mid-Grand Finals disconnect and the winner was decided by community vote. It's Reyn Time. |

But it could probably get within 55/45 now. I would like to see Mario Kart 64 get a legit chance to shine in a contest someday. |
I've
never seen the Smash community not be a pulsing mass of cancer, so it's
comforting that even in these crazy times there is some consistency
still out there. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |

MechanicalWall posted... I know the video you're talking and tbf the buffering complaints are valid, I just don't think they're the game ruining thing the guy makes them out to be. Yeah I'm not saying they aren't valid and a toggle would be nice. As someone who sucks at timing their inputs I actually really like the buffering but I get how it can get in the way of more skilled players. Again it's still kind of a minor thing. The Smash community gets really up in arms about every tiny flaw and often fails to appreciate the bigger picture of how insanely good Smash is as a package. But yes online Smash fans are cancer. At in-person tournaments tho most ppl tend to be pleasant, although I have seen more than one controller launched in the past (and the TOs never seem to do s*** about these ppl so long as they play decently enough) I used to go to Smash tournaments mostly just for fun, but sadly people playing for fun have been getting edged out in my local scene by players who take the game way too seriously. My one gripe with Smash Ultimate is that it's one of the best casual party games ever made yet it's extremely difficult to actually play that way since most people latch on to no items 1v1 battles on like 10 of the 100+ stages, and reject attempts to play just for fun. So I end up mostly having to play with newbies who just kind of SD repeatedly. Really wish there were more people who are both semi-decent at the game and are open-minded about playing with different rulesets. I find myself watching Alpharad videos and salivating with jealously that he has a friend group to play fun Smash with.

In
retrospect, the people who said that Byleth might deboost Smash
Ultimate may have been closer to the truth than I realized. The Smash
fanbase is exactly the kind of fanbase to turn on a game with a metric
s***ton of content because 1 character that they disapprove of was
added. adamko posted... There's nothing you can do when you have cancer like Leffen as one of the leaders of the smash communityThis is also a problem. The loudest, most obnoxious voices ALWAYS rise to the top of the Smash community. It's Reyn Time. |
Now,
bear in mind that the pro-community doesn't neccessarily align with how
GameFAQs votes. There's still a chance Ultimate wins via being an
enjoyable gaming experience that celebrates the nostalgia of one of the
greatest extended universes in all of gaming, and has expanded to pay
tribute to other great gaming legends like FFVII, Metal Gear Solid,
Persona 5, among others. I'd argue only a fraction of UIltimate's strength is going to be affected by the competitive community, but it's whether or not this puts it in striking distance for Odyssey or not.

I go to locals for the 1v1 competitive ruleset and to fight people at that level; I wouldn't expect someone who goes there to play 4 players with items on to have a good time, but that space isn't really there for them. Especially in Michigan, a lot of the locals here are pretty cutthroat. Maybe you can talk to the community organizers in your area about maybe having a local dedicated to more casual play. If

4 players with items off is still really fun I did not hit her! Its not true! Its BS! I did not hit her! I did not! Oh hi, Mark. |

Brawl beating Melee in the GotD poll last time is a promising sign that casual players outweigh the more competitive types. Not saying necessarily every competitive player voted Melee or that every casual player voted Brawl, but those groups do generally align with those games during that time period. "Much like the pill bug, I too must continue to move forward." -Heropon Riki (paraphrased) |
I
genuinely haven't had fun playing with items since Melee and none of my
friends group have either. Ever since Brawl the items in Smash have
gotten really, really strong to the point where many items are
straight-up better than an entire character. In Smash 64 and Melee even
the strongest items felt more like modifiers or bonuses that added
twists that could be played around. Now you've got stuff like the Wind
Bellows that just kills you for free. It's Reyn Time. |
Casual players heavily outweigh competitive types on GameFAQs, but casual players are also much more fickle I said this on The Show but I honestly think that if someone put Byleth in a user-submitted Smash Ultimate pic it would be the highest form of pic sabotage It's Reyn Time. |

Especially in Michigan, a lot of the locals here are pretty cutthroat. Yeah that's kind of the problem. It started out as a more casual environment that still obviously did the tournaments with tournament rulesets but you could still play casual friendlies after getting knocked out. But the casual players just kind of got edged out as more well-known pros started coming to our locals, and it turned a lot of them off of Smash in general. I still try to get my old Smash casual buddies to play with fun rules occasionally but they've kind of been soured on Smash and mostly play puzzle games these days.

MechanicalWall posted... Leon did the x-stats for the Smash/Odyssey Division and they look wacky if you take Smash to win.Welcome to the Nintendo hierarchy. Now, I'm not 100% certain that Ultimate trumps Odyssey in the hierarchy, and I actually think Kirby's been a fraud hidden behind fluky draws and waiting to get exposed for quite a while, but rSFF provides a very easy explanation if Ultimate wins. _SecretSquirrel posted... Probably the best way of looking at the hypothetical MK64 question is: which games in the final 16 do you think it could take?I would take it over every single one of the games you mentioned in this post, most likely even in this contest's setting. As for Dark Souls vs. MK64, I would probably take MK64 in an ordinary game contest, but I'd probably side with Dark Souls in this contest. "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser! Bully for you! |
if
a picture of a smash character is enough to derail its chances (from a
popular game, no less) then it's a pretty wishy washy game in the first
place. xyzzy |
wait, have people really switched sides to Odyssey? even after arkham city did decently and cuphead looked pretty bad? xyzzy |
So, theoretically, if 2B was announced for Smash Ultimate like, a week before today, how different would this match be? cool video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n3pFFPSlW4 cooler video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnlzths6N5o |

If Brawl got in it these days it would be maybe the least-transitive game we've ever had. It's Reyn Time. |
here, I'll play. what does Shovel Knight = Cuphead look like? or RDR1 = RDR2? xyzzy |
KamikazePotato posted... Every Smash fanbase except Melee's is wishy-washy. If Brawl got in it these days it would be maybe the least-transitive game we've ever had. Melee and Brawl are if anything more divisive games than Ultimate. Ultimate kind of strikes a balance, but a lot of casual players hate Melee and a lot of competitive players hate Brawl. They're definitely the two games that leaned the hardest in those respective directions. "Much like the pill bug, I too must continue to move forward." -Heropon Riki (paraphrased) |

I’m thinking Cuphead’s better than SK having seen that. I can’t believe in DMC5 that much. how about Bravely Default = Octopath? or, here’s a weird one - Yakuza 0 = KH3? add the c and back away iphonesience |
Time to see if I was lucky enough to crack the Top 50 before the Round 4 minefield. Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg |

What I know about the Smash community is that they are famous for being stinky. No, seriously. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/smash-players-smell |

Well, that's difficult because it relies on a lot of stuff being constant from 2015 and that clearly hasn't been the case! |
no contest today? |
Aaaaaaand nothing figures |
Yeah, I figured there would be nothing. The question now becomes, how will a cold reset affect ME2 and RE2? Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |

9
people fell off the Top 50. Rolycoly, OnMySide, Concon85334,
MasterMoltar, lordjers, t_kizzle, MetalmindStats, hombad46 and
PumpkinCoach got at least one match wrong. 2 users scored half points but survived. squexa and LinkMarioSamus only got 4 points but are still on the Top 50. Link isn't the only one who kicks ass. Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Contest! |
Augh, I did not expect the second chance to be an Oracle contest. Agent Triple Zero at your service! This line reserved for the true greatone, the 2020 Guru contest winner. |
Oh I'm seeing the link. I was... kind of expecting that. Otherwise it turns into tiebreaker contest. (edited 4/27/2020 5:08:00 PM) |
huh despite how screwy some of my picks were, I'm only 1 point away from top 50 I don't think that'll happen (had three houses and last of us in top 8) but I guess I wasn't as terrible as I expected Warning: I'm literally VeryInsane. |
Division 8 X-Stats: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – 50.00% Mario Kart 8 – 39.10% Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – 32.18% Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn – 31.00% Journey – 25.02% Crypt of the NecroDancer – 17.65% Fate/Grand Order – 16.91% Subnautica – 16.00% Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver Version – 50.00% NieR: Automata – 48.13% Bayonetta 2 – 30.41% Divinity: Original Sin II – 30.10% Rayman Legends – 28.03% Celeste – 27.78% Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft – 18.53% Night in the Woods – 18.04% |
So what happens if you predicted the wrong game in the previous round? Do you automatically get zero points? This would be important in SSBU/SMO as the winner will defeat Xenoblade/P4G Game of the Decade 2 - Current Score: 172/192 Today's Picks: LoZ: BotW and RE2 |
