@Bri4nF I've always seen the reluctance as an effect of not wanting to emulate smash. The consensus among FGC folk I know is that PRs are a "smash thing" and that, in spite of their possible usefulness, they should be avoided to maintain the separation with smash's ranking obsession.
@pgstats@Regalo_BombKid The "best Lucas result in smash history" narrative is really offputting here considering his prevalence in PM. I know pgstats has already profiteered off of Slippi data while not crediting Fizzi, but it baffles me they'd pick this angle that necessarily contributes to PM erasure.
@BlackuTwinsuru Wasn't at the event myself but from a viewer's perspective, would it make sense to have a rules update to disqualify previous Arcadian winners from competing? It just feels weird to me to see Infinity pop up every year or so when there's an easier paycheque on the table.
@LordKnightBB Every Smash game has something single player going for it, but the Subspace Odyssey in Brawl was a masterpiece: great story, great gameplay, interesting and diegetic way to unlock characters.
@Boogard_@blancdn dude if I wanted to nitpick one of your points I'd go with the "Everyone got vaccinated" part LMAO
go hit up Queen's Park any given weekend and tell me if any of those hugs not masks folks are rocking 3 shots
@Boogard_@blancdn the only point of reducing the testing and removing the mask mandates was to give Ford a chance at reelection by his largely anti-mask, anti-lockdown voter base
@PinselLuchs@IGiveUpThinking@WahItHal@GreyGhoulSixx @renjingles Person above phrased it in an intentionally convoluted way imo, it boils down to "Solaire dies to sun maggot? Go kill sun maggot first." While it's not clear that upgrading the sisters of chaos covenant opens the path, that line of thinking doesn't exactly require datamining lmao
@MindLuigi I think y'all just haven't had the pleasure of regularly playing snakes who will actually play for time from the first minute of the game. Only world I see it ever even approach even is one where a stage list does not allow the snake to ban out both FD and town
@MindLuigi think I live in the region plagued with the most high level snakes and that matchup is absolutely not even with any current stage list
snake sits on top plat of triplats or kalos side plat with a nade on the plat, holding a nade, c4 on the ground and there's just no approach
I always try to keep my posting here to FGC stuff but
I just finished the very last paper of my masters and can confidently say I've never been more proud of myself for persevering through something
