When things like that happen in other sports, they tend to be made illegal by the governing body. To give another tennis example, spaghetti-string rackets.

Yeah, Melee definitely is old and outdated, the problem is that there’s no game to replace it. No game that currently exists has the movement mechanics and depth of Melee, except Project M, which is a mod.

The players aren’t cheating at all, this article was just garbage at explaining what’s going on. There’s a potentiometer issue on many Gamecube controllers (bad manufacturing standards) that prevents you from being able to 100% consistently dash backwards out of a standing position. This is an issue with the…

Hmm, how do I explain it.

I didn’t realize I had an alt account.</jk>

Are the tight sticks and sticky triggers due to them being “newer” and the eventually they’ll loosen up with more game time? Or do all of them function like that?

There’s already wall street folks monitoring the news to try and predict which stupid reports will set him off so they can short sell stuff.

An internet troll won the election, so Trump will forever be relevant Gizmodo fodder.
