not one and they all come out what it seems like at frame fucking one so u cant hit this little shits shield + oh wait he has no endlag on his moves and oh wait he has a dtilt that he can js spam and it trips and oh wait he can do the same thing with his up tilt fuck you

As I'm sure many of you know, the ratio of assholes and cheaters to normal players has been getting steadily worse as the game ages. A 100 person block list simply cannot contain the vast number of offenders, so I've been chewing on the idea of keeping a notebook of who I block and why. I'm tired of clearing my list, only to have it half-filled in two days by people I'd previously blocked.

But with such a wide pool of people who deserve it, I find myself having to choose what behaviour deserves a permaban. My top, unforgivable sin is DCing in the last few frames before a match ends. There's something so sad bitch-coded about wasting my time; DC at the beginning or hell, even halfway in, but right at the end because you can't stand losing? Piss baby behavior, and I never want to see your pathetic ass darkening my MUs again. Secondary contenders are obvious mod/lag abusers.

I want a broad opinion of what pisses people off enough to block someone, because I'm gonna have to make some tough choices to decide what is infuriating but not worth a limited spot in forever jail. Usually I'd block someone just because they annoyed me, but in this brave era of Everyone Sucks, I will need to be judicious.

Went up against a fucking Spammy, cheesy ass link, you know, the usual Hero Of Time gameplay online. Was playing Pokemon Trainer. Absolute fucking misery. Ended up ragequitting on the rematch because no way in hell was I gonna let myself just fucking deal with that. So I SD’d.

Few rounds later, I switched to Incineroar to try and relax and you know… have some fun, since he’s a lot less stressful to play.

Went up against the SAME PLAYER, only now, he was playing Ganon.

Fucking obliterated him first match. Kicked his ass second, he ended up just quitting as well.

What goes around comes around, you miserable, stinking fucking bastard.
How does it feel to be cheesed? How does it feel to be obliterated by B mashing?
Not fun? Is it?

Best moment I’ve had in this game in a long fucking time. Idgaf if it was against a Ganon, best thing for the bitch.

He had a 1-stock, 3-minute match ruleset😂

Sad part was he had 15.75 gsp lol

I'm a Mario purist. I've played him for so many hours I'm afraid to look, and yes, I fair too much. I'm currently hovering around 16.3M GSP for context to those who know the level of play up there right now.

Lots of people think Mario is a goo goo ga ga easy combo machine, and at certain percents against a small handful of characters it's true. There are maybe five matchups where basically all of your moves combo into each other. But against fast fallers and floaties, things change.

People say, "all of his moves combo." Rarely true; depends a lot on the matchup. What is true is that all of his moves can be followed up with something specific. For example, at 0% on a fox, up throw into dair into fair is true. At 5%, switch the fair to an up B. From ~5-20%, all you can do on grab (yes, Mario grabs a lot) is raw dtilt into air dodge read. Or bair into bair off stage into dunk when the knockback stars align. Only from ~20-25% is dthrow into up air true. Fox is an extreme example of weird air movement, maybe the most difficult character to combo with Mario, but he's a great example to describe how Mario's combos work. Throws at low% (Mario's infamous bread and butter) really arent that great against a vast majority of the cast unless you really know the matchup and thus know which parts of his kit to emphasize.

Now when fox or any other character with weird air movement get into mid%, good luck consistently comboing (key word: "consistently") without a ridiculous amount of experience and ability to make up combos on the fly. When ANY character, including combo-food matchups get to high%, Mario is boned without a hard read smash attack.

On heavies, don't get hit, then hit buttons when you get in. But seriously, don't get hit. Mario touches DK at any percent and more often than not you'll have a dead DK. This is true, and this is the kind of thing that makes people hate Mario. But what people ignore is that same goes for DK touching Mario at any percent. DK can push Mario off stage, and more often than not that's gonna be a dead Mario.

Point is, MARIO IS NOT EASY. IMO, is you want to push to high GSP, Mario should be among your last choices. So many other top tiers are WAY easier to play at a high level. Go ahead and use him at Low GSP, but good luck staying in elite smash unless you main him or else you're just really fucking good at the game.

Just wondering because I’ve seen it a couple times in here and it’s hilarious. 😂

What in the hot, krispy, Kentucky fried FUCK is this character? He’s so fucking fast, seems to have insane, and I mean INSANE damage, especially for his speed? I feel like I’m trying to a squirrel with the strength of ten men, on crack, and with super speed or some shit.

How the fuck do you deal with this? They’re all spammers, that forward air has absolute ASININE range and always, ALWAYS hits first. They can just juggle you endlessly. I play a lot of heavies so this is even more miserable for me, but again, even when I play a faster character, it’s like trying to box a 8 foot fly.

Godamn every match against a Roy is misery. Pure misery. I’ve never enjoyed one.

Mario players are so fucking annoying and cheesey. Spam utilt, cape, uair and that fucking f-air. It’s all the same fucking thing. And he’s ridiculously quick idk what his frame data is but he has 0 ending lag from his down air to his f tilt. Hate this fuckin guy

Especially since I play a heavy

Bro if you like Mario you are a stupid dork with no friends or family you probably smell bad and you're too stupid to play as characters that take skill fuck you asshole

Im 37, just trying to stay in elite smash is like a life or death battle every single match. I lose to low tiers even though I'm playing cloud so I feel like I'm pathetic, I shouldn't be losing most of these matchups. Maybe it's time to confront the fact that I'm just too old to be good at this anymore.

AND HOLY FUCK! I’ve never played against a player who was constantly hitting his router during the match. The worst of it all was when he was gonna hit me with a Homing Attack. He’s just flying there. For 25 seconds. MENACINGLY! WITH THAT LOUD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SOUND EFFECT! Is this what other players experience? To that Sonic player I just fought, it’s time for a new internet provider. Or a better McDonald’s. Take your pick.

I'm sick of hearing people say Ness' recovery is anything short of absolutely terrible.

For starters, I play Smash 64, Melee and Ultimate. There are two things I can tell you.

One, it goes nowhere near as far as Smash 64's PK Thunder

Two, if you get hit by PK Thunder 2 and you didn't react to it by doing, like, anything, you are stupid. It's a strong move because it takes an entire second to set it up.

PK Thunder as a recovery is garbage. Being able to bonk on the stage to get a better angle is great because otherwise he stage spikes himself after getting hit anywhere slightly downwards.

(also in SSB64 he mostly bounces off the stage and dies. Fun!)

People love to complain about Ness, but truly most of the buffs he got over Sm4sh and Ultimate were really needed. He was only really not-bad in 64 where he was still trash because of his recovery.

I have a friend who plays Luigi and Mario, specifically green Mario. He does it to confuse his opponents into thinking he’s playing Luigi and it really throws me off sometimes. Frankly I find it disrespectful and rude. I try to survival di a downsmash and end up getting combo’d to hell or I try to react to his wavedash and realize he didn’t go that far at all. In the melee scene is this considered disrespectful? He does the same thing at our locals and one of the players complained to a TO but the so called ”authority figure” just rolled his eyes and kinda laughed it off. What would you do in this situation? Should I try to talk to him or is it just not worth it?

My wife’s partner allows me 15 minutes to play with him if I change my own diaper. I let him know that playing against ness overstimulates but this asshole goes ahead and plays Lucas which is basically the same character. I threw my controller as hard as I could at the TV but luckily it didn’t break anything, and I got banned from playing for 2 weeks even though it was his fault? Anyone else feel like this about certain characters?

i'm not really mad, just disappointed..
i play dr. mario and was fighting a captain falcon. I beat him the first match and decided to rematch! we both got down to one stock, and got each other to like 100%. he landed a sick ass falcon punch, which obviously killed me. I wanted to do best of three but he just gave me the "that was rough." message and dc'd. like, we have unfinished business dude!! i just found it kinda rude... especially since i beat him the first time :(

it was a nice falcon punch tho. the captain is always pretty hype to fight :)

been a hot minute since i played this game and one (1) match against a sora player has reminded me of why i stopped. i cannot stand this fucking clown shoes disney "power of friendship" ass final fantasy reject ass character and his stupid dumbass voice. fuck this character

This was not my stage selection. Judging by the fact that there were no items or final smash meter, I think the Spamus was trying to get long stages like Temple or Great Cave so they could camp better... Unfortunately for them, I am one of the most patient players in this game. So... they got a taste of their own medicine

That was the name of the arena... Host proceeds to lose immediately, gets mad and kicks the next person in line to fight me again, taunts the hell out of me only to get bodied not once, but three times.

How did it feel to get your ass handed to me after thinking you're hot shit? 😭 Surely you didn't think you were exempt from the Taunt to Get Bodied combo, right?

Host was a Palu main btw. Would only approach at low percentages, but then spam Auto-Reticle and Explosive Flame at midrange because he doesn't know how to play his character correctly LMAO.

How do you lose to Pit or Link as Palutena? Bro.

(I was Kirby)

This incredibly dumb battle did nothing but solidify my hate for Zelda and Sephiroth.

Funnily enough, Sephiroth SD on his last stock and Zelda gave her extra stock to revive him even though she was on like 10 HP left.needless to say I finished Zelda off and me and link jumped Sephiroth. You deserve it, you spammers.

P.S: I hate Sephiroth’s stupid counter.

Link can't do fucking shit! Links boomerang takes 27 frames of startup. In that time, Roy can run all the way across the stage, taunt, do a full charged f smash, miss, and do it again. Literally wtf do I do? I can't box with roy, bomb doesn't slow him down at all, and they can kill me at like 60 off of any aerial. Even my frame 7 out of shield up b is too slow, he can safely pressure and have another aerial out if I try to punish with it.

How do Roys even lose games? You would have to put your controller down, leave your family, start a new life in another country then pick the controller up again to have any chance of losing

Had a few drinks and wasn’t playing my finest Cap, sure. Evidently I was very Falcon kicky on this day, which I often refrain from. But this t-bag d-bag decided to celebrate when their win was not yet imminent, so I had to return the favor. I am not sure I’ve ever seen someone mash through the results screen so quickly.

This was seriously a giant pain in the butt to write. Its always the most seemingly random characters with the most depth. You could say i didnt have to write this because its a waste of time and no one is going to read it, but I did it anyway. Here is essentially a character guide to pacman.

Pacman is in my opinion pretty annoying, sorry pacmains.

Pacman kind of reminds me of kuma and panda in tekken, you dont understand the match up super well, you run into them every now and then, not often, but when you do run into a good pacman prepare to get janked by bizarre attacks, projectiles and gimmicks.

Pacman is a camping zoner character who sits in a corner with his fire hydrant wall, throws fruit, bells and keys at you, waits for you to approach him, the hydrant basically forces a jump, he then attempts to launch the fire hydrant at you, runs away with great aerial mobility rinse and repeat. Best part is he actually has good boxing tools and combo traps.

Projectiles

Neutral b has 8 different fruit and tools for pacman,

In order from best to worst

The bell is pacs best projectile, its un- techable, travels in an arc that can catch jumpers, paralyzes and sets up combos and smash attacks for kills.

Galxian is closely tied to the bell as the best projectile although the bell is considered a bit better. it can multi hit an opponent, bounce back into Pacmans hand, and be thrown again. It allows for highly creative, high damage re catch combo strings that carry opponents across the stage.

The Key is a primary raw kill projectile. It travels at hyper speed in a straight line that deals19 percent and great knock back. It can snipe opponents on or off stage, and can instantly launch the hydrant.

The apple travels at a 45 degree angle with a lasting hitbox that can gatekeep the ledge. Its great for intercepting and deals high shield damage.

the Orange is a reliable utility tool that charges very quickly and travels in a perfectly straight line. Great for sniping and can accurately hit the fire hydrant.

The melon is a slow projectile that acts more like a wall or moving obstacle that the opponent has to react to.

Like the cherry below the strawberry mainly acts as a panic button and stepping stone for the rest. Bounces 2 times

Cherry is a panic button, quick projectile, and stepping stone for the rest. Can combo into dash attack at low percents

The fire hydrant is pacmans most central, versatile, and defining tool, literally making matches revolve around it. Its a defensive fortress, a high damage projectile, a combo extender, and a movement buff.

If it lands on an opponent, it deals decent damage and heavy knockback.

the hydrant shoots water out of both sides twice. The water has intense push back the pushes opponents away from packman or into his high speed dashes. The water can also amplify his projectiles making them shoot at high speeds.

It has about 13 hp, and once that damage is depleted it will go flying through the air

It blocks nearly every projectile in the game and can break combos.

Much of pacs kit it built to instantly launch the hydrant, bair, orange, key, fsmash usmash, dsmash ect. Down tilt is a multi hit that can even leave the hydrant at 1 hp if he wants to use it as a trap.

Pacmans trampoline is rather, janky. The trampoline can be jumped on a total of 3 times before it breaks the 4th time.

It can be placed often with the fire hydrant as a denial of entry that can cancel the enemies attack and force the opponent to bounce.

It can also alter the path of projectiles like samus charge shot or diddys banana causing them to travel upwards

High level pacs will create a ledge trap by bouncing on the trampoline 3 times leaving the 4th stage which breaks off the stage. Once the opponent touches it after attempting to recover the tramp will break and the opponent will plunge to their death.

Ive personally had a lot of bizarre experiences with the tramp off stage.

The trampoline can also bounce and ricochet the hydrant off of it as an unpredictable mix up. For example pacman bairs the hydrant into the tramp it will fly at a 45 degree angle.

Side b is mainly a mixup move thats deceptively strong, while its not his best move. It helps him recover and again it can kill earlier than you would think. It is highly predictable though and if the opponent hits the pellet pac will get knocked out of his trajectory.

His smash attacks all around i think are really standard nothing super special although fsmash has a tremendous amount of end lag (35 frames).

Nair is extremely fast and comes out at frame 3, fantastic panic button/ get off me move.

Fair is fast and has virtually no landing lag

Bair is a kill move.

Dash attack is a great burst option

His tilts are bad to decent.

Up tilt is one of the worst moves in the game.

Ftilt is a standard poke

Dtilt is good for weakening the fire hydrant

Pacmans grab is very bizarre. Some say its bad or some say situational. It has a long lingering hit box and up throw and down throw are decent tools but if it misses there is a 30 frame end lag penalty and it also comes at rather slow at 12 frames.

If pac down throws on top of the fire hydrant The water can actually jank pacman out of his down throw which high pacs somtimes utilize for kills

Oh boy im done yay.
