DEDEDE THAT’S THE NAME YOU SHOULD KNOW

Dunno if you guys have been keeping up, but Smash has been cleaning house on predators lately. It’s been wild. Cinnpie, Keitaro, ZeRo, Nairo, Anti, The Moon, Sky, DJ Nintendo, Xzax, D1 and others all been outed for Pedophilia/predatory behaviour. Shit’s wild.

Anybody play Melee? Slippi.gg has replaced standard Melee Netplay and the rollback netcode is actually pretty fun, even on wifi with a bad connection (previously it would look like a slide show). If anybody wants to try friendlies sometime hit me up

even if my brain/hands could process melee, i don't even have a machine that i think could run it

otherwise i definitely would

Depends. What specs are your PC? I think to emulate Melee you only need a good CPU, and even then you can run it on lower resolution if it’s not up to the job.

don't know my specs but i can't run terraria lmao

so who do you think's gonna be the next smash character

SAMURAI GOROH

GOOD MOOOOOOOORNING SEPTAGON! Just wanted to remind you that Steve (yes, THE Steve from Minecraft) is confirmed as a DLC fighter for Smash Ultimate! Make sure to save your money for the upcoming Fighter Pass so you can cash in on Steve‘s time to shine!

>NONONONOOOOOO! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GENO’S TURN! I WAITED YEARS FOR THIS SHIT! IT’S NOT FAIR!!!!
“No!”

Sorry Sept, we kept trying to warn you that your “literally who” character could never compete with the success of Minecraft, but unfortunately you refused to listen. Day after day you continued to hold on to some false hope that Nintendo would pity your literally who with a new appearance. Unfortunately, no one cares about your dead character. Guess you gotta deal with the hard truth that only relevant characters get into Smash! But don’t worry, at least you now get to play Smash Ultimate as someone worthy of the slot: the one-and-only Steve!

 WHERE THE FUCK IS VERBATIM

Could've gone with someone a bit cooler, but he does look interesting and fun. Enderman as a color is really sick.

He's a great pick and he looks incredibly fun to play.

Nintendo never ceases to amaze me with their pathological need to stop Smash from ever having a competitive scene. I’m sure you’ve heard they issued a Cease & Desist to the upcoming Big House Online supermajor. Entire tournament cancelled including Ultimate.

Their grounds aren’t even valid; there’s nothing illegal about running modded ROMs of Melee to work with Slippi. Their only ground to stand on would be if competitors were using pirated copies, which is their proof of burden. At the very least, almost every melee player has a physical copy of the game. So mad about this and other shitty behaviour from them.

not to say that nintendo shouldn't let these things slide, especially during times like these, but i think it's a little disingenuous to argue that people aren't running pirated copies of smash to play it online, or that using unauthorized ROMs in general still isn't in a big legal grey area

it's shitty and nintendo sucks, but i don't necessarily agree that their grounds are invalid from a strictly legal standpoint

this is the sort of thing that should only be argued from an ethical standpoint imo

I just think it (should be) nintendo’s burden of proof to show whether entrants are competing on pirated roms before a C&D can be issued. But in the US I thought it was cut and dry that you could make your own copy of a Rom using your own copy of a game, as long as it isn’t distributed.

It’s probably just the strongest ground they have to stand on in terms of cockblocking tournaments and they’re taking it tbh. Really feels like they’re stuck in the 80’s with their ‘protection’ of intellectual property.

Sephiroth was just announced as the next Smash character at the Game Awards.

I suppose if we HAD to have yet another anime swordsman, this was the single coolest pick they could've gone with.

It's all fun until he releases and he hard reminds everyone really hard why swordies are the meta.

Nintendo made CEO back out of Smash world Tour and had plans to cancel the entire series. It was kept on the down low as everyone made the assumption that the Pandemic was the sole reason due to timing. That’s a $240,000+ prize pool for both Ult and Melee gone at their hands. On top of this, a splatoon event was blocked from steaming and subsequently cancelled after teams in the finals put ‘free melee’ in their names.

Sephiroth: Not too keen on anime sword characters since the roster started being flooded by FE characters in 4. Not least because his range looks to be even more bonkers than Corrin’s seemed at first. Still worth giving a go since I’ve grown up hearing a lot about FF, even though I’m yet to play a game. I don’t see him being super busted with the frame data the trailer gave him, but that’ll remain to be seen.

Sad to see so many people dropping everything Nintendo has done over the years to celebrate Sephiroth being added to the game. Prior to the reveal, their tweets were being drowned by ‘#SaveSmash, #FreeSplatoon and #FreeArms’ but overnight the fans seem to have forgotten the protest altogether. Defs a hype moment worth celebrating for Ult/FF fans, but shit like this is just gonna make Nintendo know exactly how to continue their bullshit and keep their PR.
