Essentially, when you give a driver less than 5 stars, you are telling the ridesharing company that this driver should not be working for them. You think that what 3 stars says is “this was average”, but what it actually says is “you should fire this guy on the spot”.

Which would be cool if 5 star service netted 5 star pay. Instead these ridesharing apps give you basic pay for 5 star ratings, and you’re fired for 4 star ratings.

Yes, but the other part is that the smashbox is capable of doing things that even this 2% of controllers are incapable of doing- things that no controller is, and thus have never been part of the game. This is at least serious enough that the community might want to be careful with it.

For a more specific example, check this out: In a twitter thread between Kadano and Leffen, Leffen did some experiments and found that a Fox on a box-style digital controller would actually run faster than a Captain Falcon on a gamecube controller. Normally Falcon has the fastest run speed in the game, and Fox comes…

It’s definitely a problem that’s unique to melee. Other fighting games use digital controls- either you’re holding left 100% or 0%, for instance. In SF, if you hold forward 34%, it’s the same as holding forward 100%. This is the same on a fight stick and on controllers.

Which is why it’s important to point out that the unintended mechanics of a smashbox are only possible with custom hardware, which is different than wavedashing, which is achievable for any controller.

Well, it seems like you are comparing the unintended mechanic of wavedashing to the implementation of a custom controller, and implying that if wavedashing is an unintended mechanic that has been accepted by the community, the custom controllers should also be accepted by the community. I responded to this by…

There is no such thing as an easier to wavedash controller. There are other things that can benefit from a wonky controller, but none of them are quite as dramatic as the difference between a stock controller and a hitbox-style stick.

I definitely disagree with the ruling, but I also don’t think you’re responding in a reasonable way.

Everyone can wavedash with every controller. Not everyone can get their hands on custom, niche hardware like the smashbox, and it is a piece of hardware that opens up possibilities changes the game in a major way.

Who is crying in this situation? Community leaders made a decision about what does and doesn’t constitute acceptable hardware for tournament play.

Let me get this out of the way: I definitely disagree with this ruling.

tbh he looked more like squall before the surgery.

no pics, but my dog chewed up my good gamecube controller, which I kept around for some reason. A year later, I had acquired some soldering skills, so I desoldered the cable, took out the PCB, popped it into new housing, added a cable from a different controller, and replaced the rumble with LEDs for fun. I’m probably…

Yeah. It’s been colloquially expanded to something like “Tool Assisted Superplay” since then

I recently discovered that I’m a big fan of sparkling mineral water. It’s not sweet, but it’s got a refreshing quality similar to beer (but without the calories or bloaty feeling). I like sanpellegrino in particular.

The cases are reviewed by multiple players, and a certain number of them have to agree that it’s griefing.

if your team is down to do troll strats, they’re not reporting you, so you’re not gonna be at risk.

I mean, sure, but if someone’s gonna screw up my ranked games, they should be charged at least $14.99 to do so

but the thing is that multiple people still have to agree that it’s griefing/hacking. Filing reports will get a case reviewed, but it won’t get a everyone to agree that this player’s behavior is deserving of a ban. Everyone’s name is hidden in an Overwatch case, so there’s no chance of being biased about that either.…
