It’s worse than that. A lot of U.S. Christians want Israel to belong to the Jews because that’s what the Bible says needs to be done for Armageddon to come. They are literally cheering for the end of th eworld.

Hw about a punishment that wasn't way too harsh to appease their Chinese overlords?

I’d buy that if they also didn’t fire and blackball the 2 casters for, I guess, not immediately karate chopping the player into unconsciousness or something. Blizzard did this to appease the Chinese government, not to set an example.

There are only 4 places where it will always rain until you’ve completed certain objectives. It’s not about the game not wanting you to go there yet, there are gain mechic and llot reasons for the rain (and thunder). Once you complete the objective each particular scripted area has, the rain lets up and the weather…

Spoiler alert: This particular area is scripted to always rain (for plot reasons) until you finish at least part of the quest Hot Shark Man asks you to embark on.

Why would he tug instead of immediately trying his hardest? And how would a Super Soldier manage to make his muscles visible strain with effort yet barely budge Mjolnir on purpose?

No. Not even in VR mode.

That's a pre-rendered cutscene.

Cooked crab doesn’t really smell.

“Ban it because it's borkkg for the viewers" s a bS argument.

Nntendo tried to stop EVO from streaming Smash, not hold it. And the P:M people were never DMCA'd, they just felt like they were going to be,  they pre-emptively ended development of P:M.

1) I never argued that Melee has the most players (even though that has been true in the past).

Yes, and? It means people signed up late. They still signed up. And what you just said had nothing to do with what I said.

My squiggly spooch!

Melee was the game at EVO with the most players and viewers who purchased entry/tickets specifically for Melee and nothing else. So, yeah, there’ll be a noticeable ticket sales drop. Just not necessarily a dramatically large one.

Yeah... except people claim that about every single Smash game that isn’t Melee and are proven wrong almost immediately. Melee at least never came close to having to ban any characters (or create rules specifically so they wouldn’t have to ban any characters). Brawl had Meta-Knight and Sm4sh had Bayonetta.

That’s bully logic. If you bully someone eno7gh, they’ll be forced to move. The actions of non-Melee players should not be used to punush Melee players. If Melee players at EVO misbehave, sure, punish them and punish the scene if the misbehaviour is widespread enough.

Wt I find the most annoying that while the videos are now in HD, the frame rate is still abysmal.

Are you seriously arguing that anything that was removed in Brawl is a gamebreaking glitch that got “patched out” and tgus an illegitimate way to play the game? By that logic, gliding should be bnned in Brawl tournaments since it went the way of the Dodo in Sm4sh.

Melee did not have rotation, either Brawl or Sm4sh introduced that. In Melee you just can’t get the same fsmash twice. So if your last fsmash was a frying pan, it‘s a 50/50 between the golf club and the tennis raquette.
