CHU HATERS BTFO

A hero that mains Richter.

He's unfun to watch, tho i'll admit i prefer him to Leffen.

Basically in my case i root for Axe, Amsa, M2K, i'm A-Ok with Plup, Mango, Armada S2J etc and i want to see Hungrybox and espêcially Leffen get humilliated

God, MM is such a cool character.

I can't believe M2K got hit by that shoryuken 3 fucking times. That thing is ridiculously hard to land.

fug riddles was doing some work

Eat shit m2k.

daaaaamn riddles, that was sick

Squad strike is more fun to watch than doubles and contending with singles

He cute

Chudat is Chu good

Chu's fox taking 2 games off of swedish delight LMAO
>muh carried by wobbling

Just started watching, what are some important things that have happened so far?

"Why yes, I do enjoy playing Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube, Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Nintendo Wii, Super Smash Brothers 4 for the Nintendo Wii U, and Super Smash Brothers Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch."

Leffen has sucked ass in every tournament except this one.

It's a straight upgrade to singles as far as I'm concerned. Especially 5v5, that gets players to dig really deep and pull out characters we NEVER would have seen otherwise.

B A S E D

Melee or Ultimate?

Nah, leffen is a little bitch ass nigger, Seeing him getting absolutely btfo is a endless joy.

Interested in both. Looks like leffen doing well in ultimate right now.

Chudat beat Swedish Delight with Fox =D7

I wonder how Swedish feels about Chu’s Fox taking two games off his Peach. Iirc he’s a pretty good sport but I’m not sure.

What kind of sociopathic faggot mains Ice Climbers? No fun to watch, no fun to play against, nobody will like you if you play them. You're playing solely for results, and even then they've got a fucking asterisk next to them as you've wobbled your way to a respectable win. How do you watch GRSmash videos thinking the game looks fun to take seriously and play competitively and decide to fucking main this retarded character? All of the sick Marth, Fox, Falco, Peach, Sheik, Falcon shit and you decide to pick up the character with the infinite that requires you to time your A presses? Absolutely antithetical to Melee's technical basis as a competitive game. Not only that but these fucking morons dare go to Twitter to proclaim they'll quit the game if wobbling is banned? No one gives a shit, you mongoloids. NOBODY will miss your absence in the scene, you lame fucking idiots. Holy shit, fuck all Ice Climbers players.

whats the point of playing garbage like icies if your fox is good?

YEAHUYZZZ

CHU CREW WW@??

>Not only that but these fucking morons dare go to Twitter to proclaim they'll quit the game if wobbling is banned?

kek
fuck marss

So did Hungrybox + Ultimate just straight up kill Melee?

It's amazing how accurate Marss was with that cave dweller tweet.

No, Ultimate has embarrassing viewership for how new it is. Bottom one is Melee.

Attached: vgbc.png (235x90, 6K)

Mostly Hungrybox. Melee was already reclining before ultimate was out

brilliant

What tweet?

No. The Axe vs Mango matchup earlier broke 20k while Ultimate stayed around 16k all day.

the implicatiom that icies mains are sociopaths, the implication that wobbling imvalidates wins, the implication that every whose into melee is into because of shitty yourube compilations, the implication that melees basis is on technicality, and the implication that mobody will miss icies players if they all quit

>Ultimate side event with less than 200 entrants
>top 16 melee

twitter.com/Marss_NE/status/1107337563017232384

as if getting the main stream isn't part of it

Imagine actually taking a screenshot of this. Ultimate had higher viewership for the rest of it's side event you cringe fuck

all of those are correct except the wobbling thing

CUTE

Attached: 1534545238434.jpg (970x743, 276K)

Melee can't really be killed. It's on a downturn atm but once Ultimate stops getting content the true test will begin. I also fully expect Leffen to return at some point, he can't run from Hbox forever.

it clearly isnt because there were multiple points in the day that the second stream passed the first, all it means is that meleefags dont care about the actual game they just like certain personalities that play it

I don't know why the two fanbases fight, when both of them will be dead in 3-4 years thanks to twitch money

>check the melee stream
>wobbling shit

No wonder this shit is dead

theyre all wrong actually

He can. He just needs to get into another fighting game, all of them have better pay than melee

Obviously the sociopathic comment was hyperbole.

Nowhere was it implied that their wins were invalidated, it was said they were "asterisked." As in less important.

How else would someone get into Melee than seeing fucking videos of it being played, you fucking idiot?

Competitive Melee is based on its tech skill, moron. Try getting anywhere without being able to move smoothly and hit your punishes consistently.

And yes, a few retards will miss their local ICs buddies if they quit. But the scene at large wouldn't care.

mang0 beat Axe, PPU beat iBDW, Zain took it over 2Saint. Cool Lime managed to make it into top 8. Chudat pulled out the Fox and forcibly character locked Swedish into Peach, switching to ICs every time he won with fox.
In Ult, Leo is out, Light, ZD, and ESAM are in losers (either that or they're out). Not sure of much else as I haven't been keeping up with it as much.

Not more, but it was fun. It's the only time you'll see high level matchups between characters like Isabelle, Zelda, Kirby, Plant, Bayo, ICs, Ryu, Puff, Pit etc.

>there were multiple points in the day that the second stream passed the first
that's just pathetic from ultimate, getting the main stream is very important

is md vs va crews for melee or ult?

The post isn't refuting that Ultimate had higher viewership, it's saying a 6 month old game only getting 3k more viewers than an 18 year old game is shit. The game's DoA, man. Get over it.

Honestly Mang0 S2J plup and Axe is saving this tournament, the rest has been boring.

asterisks arent much different than invalidation
most people got into melee because they owned a gamecube and wanted to play a fighting game, didnt need to watch video of it because the game was just fun
by that logic every game is based on tech skill so melee isnt special
youre retarded if you think an entire element of the scene dissappearing wouldnt leave a giant crater on the scene

what if I told you SFAT wins Pound

Decided to play some melee yesterday for the first time in a while
>get one match vs their main before they switch to pichu
>refuse to switch back, but one guy is willing to switch to my main to show me what I'm doing wrong
>apparently I should be spamming taunt repeatedly
>sometimes they decide to play bad on purpose, e.g. using the same move over and over
Yep, nothing ever changes

>The game's DoA, man.
What did he mean by this?

so no matter how the facts play out youll spin it to shit on ultimate, gotcha. if ultimate does better its because the main stream is an unfair advantage, if melee does better its because ultimate is pathetic. cognitive dissonance really is alot mpre pervasive in this community than i previously believed

OH SHIT, HE HAS A GUN

Attached: 1533975009559.jpg (637x358, 39K)

Both of you are being super disingenuous, can't you get along?
Both games get huge boosts of viewership during top 8, and Ultimate is currently in its side event

sorry you got bullied by what I assume to be netplay nerds user but this should cheer you up

Attached: 1515468559713.jpg (634x522, 69K)

using the same move over and over is not playing bad if it wins, that just means you're bad

They're very different. Do you even know what asterisks denote? And nobody within the last 5 years has gotten into competitive Melee because they "owned a gamecube." The scene is kept alive by compilation channels. That's how people find the game now that the GameCube isn't and hasn't been current gen for a decade. And no, traditional fighters where you don't have to move around to punish your opponent don't require grinding movement and techskill. You simply play neutral and grind the string of input to perform the punish. Wobbling also isn't an "entire element." Banning wobbling doesn't mean banning Ice Climbers as a whole.
People would still do fine with hand-offs, which are much more entertaining anyway.

looks like he managed to unDQ himself

>Vish, Chillin, and DJN tricast
Based.

>Cool Lime managed to make it into top 8
He just lost to sfat.

Also, MKLeo is still in, but he's in loser's. Along with the other upsets you mentioned, Void is out at 49th.

Oh he unDQ'd himself. Weird, I didn't think that could happen.

would be more based without DJ

The man is a loose cannon. I'm surprised he wasn't axed after doing nothing but eating a Big Mac into the mic of a PM tourney a few years ago.

Realistically like 10-20%

you think if compilation channels dissappeared the scene would die? retarded. traditional fighters do require movement and maneuverabilty retard dont talk about games you dont understand. we werent discussing a wobbling ban we were discussing icies players leaving and you claimed it wouldnt make a difference so youre retarded

Fuck, top 12 I meant. I'm so out of it.

Leff is a johning bitch most of the time, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Who here watching House of Paign puff ditto grands now?

Coney shitposting is epic

He's a huge Pikmin fan and Yea Forums is the only place that cares about Pikmin, so that's no surprise.

He's got a good point about the online being terrible. Coming from a small city with no scene, I have to rely on online and it's so terrible 30% of the time. Ethernet adapter doesn't help at all when I'm matched up against a man whose internet graph looks like the Alps.

I mean, he' right.
I personally have barely any prolems with online, but in Europe where there's a very small scene, it can be frustrating getting juan or kelumbe with literal third worlder internet because the game can find fuck all people close to you

Yes, the scene would effectively die if the only thing that drives people to few live events and draws in new blood to the scene stops. Fighting games require movement but you don't have to grind movement to be able to combo in a traditional fighter, retard. Can you fucking read?

>we werent discussing a wobbling ban we were discussing icies players leaving
Why the fuck do you think the Ice Climbers players would leave in the first place? Are you completely fucking braindead?

Then move to America. He has the same problem on every game. Only pro melee has is that Armada lives in the next corner

crew battle

t-this is not e-sports!

No with this commentary

Minimum PGR Ultimate ranking to get Cinnpie-tier gf? Vikkikitty? Kiwi?...Supergirlkels?

combo vids dont inspire people to play, they get hundreds of thousands if not millions of views and the scene barely gets a few thousand actual competitors in tourney.
there are plenty of fighting games that requirent polished movement, tekken soulcalibur and guilty gear to name just a couple, again dont talk about what you dont know.
i replied to a post that said nobody would miss icies players if they left, wobbling ban was never part of the discussion. if you cant follow a simple conversational premise then youre retarded and you shouldnt reply

Again, crew battles. Commentary is always fucking clowny with crew battles.
