imo most of the cast can be divided into either being Fox-like, Marth-like, Sheik-like, or a counter hit character and thinking of them this way can help you when you're considering your game plan against characters you haven't played before. For example, if you've played against
PSA for Marths struggling vs Ganon: Shield Breaker is an option worth exploring. It can be especially effective against opponents that like to approach you from above with double jump/edge cancel mixups. Keep in mind, Marth pulls back a bit which can help to dodge attacks. pls RT
"Mental Damage" melee tier list
Refers to how much psychological trauma playing against a character inflicts. Most likely subjective, but I think most would agree with my placements.

Discovered something weird with Marth's dash attack today: If you input a jump on the 44th or 45th frame of dash attack there's a weird momentum thing that happens where Marth gets pulled back a bit. You will not jump straight upwards like you expect.
I already knew this, but wow there is something so weird and wrong about the melee twitter world. This makes me not want to be a top player LOL. And, yes, this was on a thread about swooper camping zain’s roy.
Maybe a hot take, but removing Fox and Puff from melee makes it a lot better/more enjoyable/encourages a more diverse cast of characters.
Also PAL is better than NTSC
Making names anonymous on ranked is actually really easy to do, only takes a few clicks:
1. The idea is to make a separate iso using DAT texture wizard (get from smashboards).
2. Blanking out the textures in the "start.dol" file will hide all the text that slippi uses for its UI.
It'd be a cool feature on slippi ranked if you could disable the name of your opponent and tag. I think it'd make my neutral so much better. Esp when you play some ppl 10+ times you have kinda figured them out at that point and it's a matter of executing your ideas.
Here's one stock from my Xanadu run last night. Sometimes, everything goes right. I just wish I could play like this all the time 🥲
Shoutouts to MC David (
@DavidLapkoff
) for two great sets yesterday (one of which went game 5, last stock, last hit).
Here's me trying to use the weak up airs that Zain uses in this MU to extend the combo at higher percents.
P.S. if you know what the background music is from, you're cool :3
After reaching the elusive 69% win rate on pgstats, I will now be stepping away from tournaments for a while to learn how to use the Prism controller. (and maybe frame1 if my order ever gets fulfilled) GGs All!
i don't understand why people think its okay to dm someone on discord like this after playing a game of super smash brothers melee for the nintendo gamecube
Bobby’s saving grace is that Fendy brought the drinking and driving clip to light. And the community seems to vehemently dislike Fendy.
Imo we should let twitch staff decide if they want to ban him or whatever. But, I don’t see the reasoning in banning him from tourneys.

Really happy with my performance today at LACS4! Ended up placing twice as well as I was seeded. The Marth/Sheik duel-maining is actually working out well, so I guess I have to stick with it. The grind continues, GGs to everyone I played today! Thanks for hosting,
@LudwigAhgren
My playing ability is volatile af. Tonight I:
- Lost an online GF's to a dude that has a 52% win rate.
- Immediately cued unranked and took a game off Aklo.
Pls let me off this wild ride
If you airdodge and land while holding an item as Bowser, sometimes you'll get this absolutely cursed animation frame to come out. Only lasts for one frame, though.
What's something other Melee players might not know about your favorite character?
I'll start: Doctor Mario's taunt has a weird interaction with capes, causing some wonky pill movement
Peach a lot, but don't have much experience fighting Luigi, some of those general principles that you use vs Peach can help mold your neutral play vs Luigi: play around their cc, don't give them too much space to set up projectiles, wall them out.
@JoJoSSBM
While I know this is pointed at Fiction, I can’t help but feel personally attacked at how similar this sounds to my own analysis of my VODs 😂. Just stating obvious things and acting like it’s helping lol. “There’s that little dash dance again…”

In the twitch earnings leak from last year, he was listed as the 93rd highest earner. Making over 900k in two years, and that’s only counting subs/donos. So yes, mango is a millionaire, at least in net worth.

I love that Joey is having an important moment and the commentary is just like "so do I erase the L or what?" like its their first time on the mic.

's Tournament Organizer tourney today. Did better than I was seeded! That's all you can ask for. Also, the commentators sounded so sad and disappointed whenever I got a combo in this set lmao:
Neat punish I grabbed from the Zain vs Moky set tonight. If you have a read that the Fox will tech left/right on top plat of Yoshi's Story, you have time to NIL Dolphin Slash them. They will most likely be going for slide off and you'll catch them off guard with some atrocius DI.

Not a super "useful" thing to know, but if that happens to you in the middle of a close set you might think your control stick is drifting or something. Good to know that its not!
@MahouManSam
tbh I forgot about laser spam lol, but I don't really mind it since they can lose a stock from accidental standing laser at anytime. Falco just seems so frail sometimes, like once he's offstage he's done for.
@WoahD_
Puff's usual "space disjointed bair" approach makes me think puff is marth-like. Definitely a bit weird though, since her worst MU is fox. Not a complete fit, but I didn't want to make a puff-like row with just puff and kirby.
