I mentioned this in my own comment, but for me, wobbling actually added suspense. You spend the whole match waiting to see if they can land this one huge technique that instantly means the other person is losing a stock. Like, the actual time spent in the wobble isn’t suspenseful, but everything leading up to it is.…

Melee is more trouble than it’s worth at this point. I cared a lot less about it once Smash 4 came out and there was an actual fun, competitive, modern version of Smash. Since Ultimate, I don’t think I’ve watched a second of it.

The utilization of these ridiculous analogies is ridiculous, whether agreeing or disagreeing. The tournament had clearly written rules, a player gets a warning if he lands in a no-land zone. So saying this is like a player causing a personal foul, targeting, low blow, intentional foul, handball, etc. is ridiculous. A…

Very good points, thanks for sharing! 

I work in the packaging industry and there are 2 things you need to know:

Not to mention that any points scored because of that rule violation would be disallowed. In football especially, touchdowns are reversed all the time when there’s a penalty involved. So while this wasn’t “cheating”, the Chap elimination shouldn’t have counted. as it came off a violation.

Sports also have flagrant fouls that would better describe what happened here and should be used as a model. This game allows a single rules violation to take another team out of the game. If you took an opposing team member out of the game intentionally in other sports you would probably get severely penalized or…

Fans of Fortnite are divided on the team’s actions. Many see it as cheating, or at least purposefully breaking the rules during a charity tournament. To some, it feels especially scummy coming from a streamer whom they feel portrays a family-friendly persona. “It’s crazy to think someone like him [NickEh30] would do…

I assumed this too. The time was probably needed to preload the BTs and the oil and buildings and whatever else spawns whenever you get caught.

I just assumed this was hiding a load of some sort. Like they had to load in and spawn the BTs every time.

You spent 14 billion years crafting the cosmos. It's not surprising 70 hrs doesn't seem like a whole lot of time to you. 

I mean, not like the game physically moved your controller or read what other games you liked to play. So no big deal really.

“Me”, and “restaurants I love.”

Poorly paraphrasing his words in some flaccid attempt to bolster your own argument is just juvenile. You clearly can’t engage in a conversation like an adult; I’m not sure why he bothered even giving you a second thought.

I come from a country previously colonized by white people for over three centuries. Would I be pissed over the use of the word ‘savage’ on a video game title? Nah. I got bigger shit to care about.

I literally never said the word “attack” so I have no idea to what you’re referring.  

I’m sorry that’s the only thing you gleaned from the multiple responses I framed. Cheers!

That’s not it at all - genuinely. My point is that I think we need to be really careful about how we broach these conversations and more importantly call people out when their intentions are malicious. I don’t think that’s the case here (neither does Paul).

The weight of the conversation gets diluted if the perception…

I don’t disagree with Paul’s take that ‘savage’ has always been a historically-charged term. But given that Typhoon studios is not an American studio (it’s Canadian and founded by an Australian person), we also have to consider the fact that (and I say this as an immigrant who experiences this almost every day)…
