That’s an interesting argument. More standards definitely could have helped the scene, but by the time Nintendo realized competitive Melee was a thing it might have been too late. And as soon as they tried to shut down Melee at Evo it was over.

So, slight quibble - the days where we only complained about Icies were also the days where this was going on / being covered up. It’s easy for us to be nostalgic, not everybody had the luxury of viewing the community through that lens. All this was going on, we just didn’t know. This is definitely a painful period,…

It’s a money issue. She probably didn’t have anywhere else to go. Not supporting it. The house where that happened was particularly insane and has had even more stories come up about it in recent days. There’s another comment alluding to it - house was owned by an influencer/streamer named Sky Williams.

Just truly awful shit. Hope some of those people’s views can be changed with the current exposure.

Yep. And the one player they consistently interacted with (Nairo) is one of the alleged. They’re never dipping their toe in this shithole again.

Incredible that one person, somewhere, just said “Warioland” and people ran with it until it was trending. Ran with literally one sentence that didn’t even allude to anything Wario-related. Nintendo fans: we are fucking nuts.

Furthermore, imagine if the guy announcing every other championship or iconic moment also got outed as a rapist.

Also the “why won’t Nintendo support us” crowd finally has the loudest and clearest answer imaginable.

Turned out pretty much how you expect. Pretty much every response from somebody accused only dug them a deeper hole.

Shit’s awful, and made worse by the fact that most of the fans of these creators are also minors. A lot of them don’t apparently understand why an adult shouldn’t have a relationship with a minor because they’ve... never been an adult. Has led to a lot of vile shit on Twitter and Reddit. Used to really enjoy the Smash…

I'm gonna fucking throw up

I’ve stopped using this site on my phone entirely.

You rock! These are awesome.

Yeah, but it must be tough to write stuff like this on such a wide variety of games when at least a few members of your audience always know the game better than you. I know Smash, but I’d be clueless writing about a new Dragonball FighterZ character/patch even if I’ve played it here and there. And in that case I’d…

I main the character. Went into more detail in response to Blastoise, but bottom line is that I still don’t think he’s top 15. He’s definitely viable, but perhaps his two worst matchups are Pika and Joker, the two best characters in the game. Still has bad neutral and recovery.

Marth is much better! Might actually be a high-tier now if people can figure out new tipper confirms. Falco can kill now. But they’re not breaking the game. Marth might replace Lucina and be top 15 (unless there are some really cracked new confirms) and Falco’s ceiling is a low high tier because his neutral and…

Oh shit sorry Ari, I take it all back.

Wanted to add - the initial response from the competitive community has definitely been wrong before! Day 1 of Joker people thought he wouldn’t be good - now he’s a consensus top 3 character even after some nerfs. Might change since he got further nerfed in this patch.

Here to offer a take from the competitive community - she is not very good against advanced players. Her recovery is pretty weak horizontally and her slow airspeed make her easily gimped. Fast characters (Pichu for example) absolutely blow her up. But not everybody is at a level to exploit that. Also Falco is very…

Also I understand the excitement for this theoretical game, but I don’t know that Avalanche is a studio I'm excited to see an open-world game from? The disney infinity guys?
