Video

Dk's best character in the game thumbnail aged perfectly well. Let's go!

so..........

Broooo. The sound voltex controller lol

What a good video! I have a masters degree in philosophy and i must say this video is very well formulated! Thanks for your contribution to the community :) i personally think that these types of controllers ought to be legal because of the various reasons you touched on in this video. I think to disallow them on the grounds of gamecube controllers being the “intended way to play the game” is some form of a naturalistic fallacy.

Having trouble choosing between samus and pika

now i know you might be surprised to hear this.

Yes

Well.

Falco: I am the king of neutral Young Link: Hold my B button

possibly

yes

It happens

Well well well. Guess who just won a major

This aged well

The answer is Yes

ckyulmiqnudaetr won BODIED 7 (May 2024), with a total of 106 entrants, with wins over KJH, Zuppy and Ossify. Junebug won Xanadu Legends 500 (April 2023) with a total of 115 entrants, and also won Patchwork 2024 (July) with a total of 109 entrants, which stands as the largest tournaments won by a solo Donkey Kong

🎉

i'm here from the future, DK wins a major. thanks junebug

The beginning of the end

They hated him because he told the truth

It's crazy how no one's talking about how Rishi completely called this

one of the best aged videos in melee

Remember when this was a shitpost?

This is aging very well

I cooked the shit out of my thumb getting top 50 on Brawlhalla (I know people don’t like Brawlhalla but I do okay leave me alone) and stopped using controller for every game (except rocket league because I am NOT learning keyboard for that). So anyways I get why people dislike it but it lets me keep playing and that’s all I care about.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Puff,Yoshi,Dk

the starman bit was very good and also illuminating as to why game devs add elements like random item drops to games in the first place. I understand why it's disliked in comp smash but adding limited items back in is something more people should consider for special match types at least

can we get a rishi's jungle jam matchmaking discord?

verry intresting thx for the video

I hope YL wins a major in the next 10 years supermajor hard cope

This video aged poorly bc hbox is still winning majors in 2024 and the official tier list has puff at number 3 in the game over falco

2:22 the nerfs and ucf fix all of that

You can also jump cancel throw bombs

This has aged well

the analyst vs doer stuff reminds me of system 1 and 2 from the core a gaming vid "playing fast and slow"

The king is back!

no way is my man wavedashing on the sdvx controller

Hot Take: If you're going 0-2 at your local, it ain't the controller's fault bub

What skills do we value in competition? Surely, we would prefer players not having advantages and disadvantages over their opponent before they even sit down to play? If we're at the olympics and one guy gets steroids and the others don't. Do we still value the skills of the steroid user? If one guy is allowed shoes and the others can only afford sandals, is it a fair competition? You could argue that leverless controllers must be allowed for accessibility. However, we don't expect handicapped people to compete against abled people in the olympics. They get their own separate bracket. We could do that in smash as well. 1. Stock, vanilla, oem gcc-only events. 2. Any modified controller, notched, springless, z-jump, goom wave, leverless, rectangle, dk bongos, ddr pad, guitar hero, etc events. If you want to box with cement gloves, then it's only fair if your opponent does the same.

Imagine how intimidating the glyph must look to new players... so many buttons...

I thought this was an april fools' video at first

Yoshi would be at B with Peach nowadays, because of a better Marth match up.

melee is way too popular right now so its seems like a good time to raise the barrier to entry

There's minor edges to the capabilities of box and minor edges to the capabilities of gcc. Thats all it is tho, minor. If you think you lost a game just cause your op was on box, i believe the phrase is, "get gud."

As a hand problem having Melee player, I'm just happy it's possible to enjoy the game without reaching my pain limit after 30 minutes

People that use boxes probably cheat on their girlfriends, hate the sound of children laughing and like tossing boxes of puppies in nearby rivers for fun.

I think something that gets missed a lot too is that it’s really annoying or expensive to get a proper GameCube controller. One that’s fully fit for the game (notches, no snap back etc,) is often much harder to get for many people than a box style controller. It’s only going to get harder to get decent GameCube controller’s over time so I think it’s at the very least short sighted to ban boxes. Getting a controller that’s actually good enough to be used for some characters is already a huge barrier to entry regardless of if it’s a box style or GCC so it would really suck to make the problem even worse

This could all be solved by running modded controllers tournaments and standard gcc controller tournaments. all of that creating new modded ethical controllers discourse would then be able to flourish in its own scene and standard gcc players would be able to flourish in their own scene. As it is rn, it’s like having heavyweight boxers go against welterweight. Or any numerous other similar examples you could draw from sports and esports

That's why I bought a frame1! Its far cheaper than glyph and also allows you to play 2D fighters and platform fighters but far more seemlessly.
