Kinda neat looking tech
Figure I'll try and remember to toss the Techmas videos up here since this community is pretty dead. Maybe it will spawn some conversation.
Nintendo just released these guidelines around running a “community” tournament. In other words, an unlicensed tournament. Limiting the player cap to 200 (300 for online), no profit allowed, entry fees must be under $15 USD, must use Nintendo online servers (no Slippi), and some other stuff. Not sure which major tournaments from this last year had a license and which didn’t, but I remember the Smash World Tour fiasco and Panda’s implosion. I know Hbox said he’s going to try to keep running Coinbox until Nintendo themselves tells him to stop in writing, but I wonder how this will affect other big TOs. How many of them are still trying to sneak under the radar unlicensed? Honestly, it’s BS how Nintendo treats their competitive communities
Sorry for the picture of a screen but there's no way I'm taking my SD card out just for this.
Just a general question for people who are playing more than just occasionally. I'm trying to learn the game enough to at least take part in local events/tournaments as a way to develop a hobbie and meet people, but I'm not sure how to go from just dabbling to actually becoming decent. I went through the "Art of Smash" video series on Youtube, and now I just play online in public arenas with random characters to get familiar with them, but it doesn't feel like it's really helping get better, mainly because of the online being so bad (even on a 2Gbps fibre connection it feels like I'm playing in slomo). What do you guys do to become better?
Reward from backing the original project. Good to have the collection complete. Re-watch (and a first watch of Metagame) might be in order.
Post below you’re cheesiest clip that you have done to someone else or be hit by yourself
Thought I’d drop a link here too for those unaware, a huge SSBM tourney continues today! And for the Ult lovers, check out yesterday’s stream, where Skyjay demolished every Melee challenger with some sweet sweet Incineroar play
Has this community been advertised to people on the smashbros subreddit who may be looking to make the switch? Might be a good idea to make a post there with a link to this community and instructions on how to join. [This graphic](https://imgur.com/a/xUlYg3c) is a good intro to how Lemmy works and how to think about it. If anyone wants to go ahead and cross-post to the reddit sub, that might help attract more users here.
Edit: not sure why the video isn't there anymore, but he said something along the lines of: the scene is stagnating now that the game has entered end of life and tournaments are being cancelled, and he feels like there's nothing to grind for anymore. On the other hand he always enjoyed SF casually and SF6 has a proper training mode, rollback netcode, cool gameplay and most importantly crazy big tournaments and prizes. He'll be back for smash 6 when it releases, if the next month and a half of training in SF6 will get good results
Plup really is the king of CEO. Dabuz wins ultimate over Riddles. I'm sad Riddles lost but good on Dabuz. Also Riddles had a hell of a weekend between 25th in SF6 and second in SSBU

Hello. I'm Doppler, the mad man behind SlippiHUD. I started this smash themed Mastodon during the twitter upheaval, if you're looking to ditch the enshittification of the web in other services you use.
I'm dying this is too funny
I might be a bit biased, but I love MuteAce presence in this episode. He’s both so funny and so knowledgable, it’s great listening to his takes.
I'll be competing in Ultimate but Im excited to watch Melee and SF6. Should be a great tournament overall!
I want Lemmy to keep growing and more importantly, the smash community here! What are some buffs or nerfs that you would have wanted to see prior to the final SSBU update. I play Jigglypuff as if no one else exists but I have seen my fair share of Zelda and I think she has too much ability to spam B and create a barrier of protection around her for characters like ness, Jiggly, or Isabelle. What are y'all's thoughts?
Only On Tuesdays is a smaller channel I started following recently. I think his Character Crisis series is great content, and I thought it might be appreciated by people here.
Hey all! Come introduce yourself. Which Smash game do you play? What kind of player are you? Lets get to know one another!

They said I was gonna go on Twitter, I went on Lemmy instead
Welcome smashers! This place is pretty empty right now, but I'd love it to be a welcoming community of Smash players. To that end, what kind of posts do you want to see when you come here? Memes, combo videos, discussions, or something else? Let's discuss it and build the community we want to see. I'd also love feedback on the rules. Are there any missing? Is the language clear enough? Let me know.
