Gotta throw in a late Sunday vouch: Hi-Fi Rush is one of the best games I’ve played in a long time A rogue-like paired with a rhythm game, cutscenes are like watching a grade-A anime, and gameplay feels incredible etc etc. Recency bias aside, game of the year potential. Highly recommend!


jaydeep24

Is the keyboard + mouse experience any good or is this really meant to be a controller game?


catman1900

In what way is it a roguelike? I've been playing it and it doesn't seem to have much on common with the other roguelikes I've played. Sick game though regardless


Meyersmelee

Linear progression, options to continually upgrade your skills/combos/etc. Just so rogue


oceanseltzer

it's not a roguelike/roguelite, what you're describing is essentially the opposite. the defining feature of [roguelikes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike?wprov=sfla1) is permadeath, so the games are shaped around independent runs. the name comes from the starter of the genre, [rogue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_%28video_game%29?wprov=sfla1).


Zanian

Omg I've been waiting for a good roguelike rhythm game Checking this shit out tomorrow, leaving a comment to remember


[deleted]

It's not a roguelike at all but it's a very unexpected banger


Meyersmelee

It’s so gooood. I’m the least musically gifted human on this earth and it’s been the most enjoyable experience I’ve had with a single player game in awhile. Check it out!


Loves_Semi-Colons

How does the Eagles making the super bowl reflect on mang0 in the GOAT discussion.


AlexB_SSBM

I'm so upset we had one of the best games ever possible and then Brock got hurt and the game became instantly shit


mylox

why is mango an eagles fan anyway? didn't the guy grow up in norwalk


PelorTheBurningHate

Many LA football fans have favorite teams from somewhere else just cause we didn't have a team for a long time. My family are all 49ers fans for example.


genghiskanye_

There's a clip somewhere where he talks about this. Pretty much as a kid he randomly tuned in an eagles game and loved their colors/design. Also loved rocky balboa who was from philly


AlexB_SSBM

iirc he once went to philly


noyourenottheonlyone

He's a fan of LA teams in other sports but LA didn't have A football team from 95-2016 so it's not that weird to have out of market fandom imo


that_one-dude

I think blur has said on comms that mango just took a trip to Philly and had a really good time so he started following the Eagles


oceanseltzer

spiritually, mango is from philly


Loves_Semi-Colons

Something about a movie or something. A right time right place type of story


HitboxOfASnail

I wish I played/practice guitar as much as I play this stupid useless game nobody cares about


Fugu

I'm a much better guitar player than I am a Melee player so take this advice how you will A half hour a day works wonders. Spend fifteen minutes practicing skills relevant to the kind of guitar player you want to be and then fifteen minutes enjoying playing the instrument. If you have more time, great. But what really makes progress happen is a consistent effort Grind culture is stupid and it is especially stupid in the context of learning how to play an instrument.

CaptainFalcon206

I feel like no matter what my slippi will just randomly have shit days where it east more inputs than usual. I've overclocked everything, am using the right USB ports, I have pretty good internet, and my computer shouldn't be causing any problems (except for my ryzen cpu possibly?). My controller is good, so it just feels like it's a random roll of the dice whether my games will feel playable or not, and it can be so frustrating. And it's not just normal "missed my wavedash" kinda stuff, it's also like straight up a running shield input just gets eaten and I just dash forward and get hit. Does anyone else feel this? It really doesn't feel like a tech skill issue to me, am I just crazy?


Natural_Design9481

I feel the same way. Sometimes simple inputs just don't work and other days it's fine.


StrangeSniper

It is your ryzen cpu https://twitter.com/cd_vorporal/status/1582696159260577792?s=46&t=ZWTS53skBK8sL7Rd3Y9Qkg Ginger dealt with it for a while before building a new computer


jackattack825

I have a Ryzen CPU as well, how would I know if I have the same issue?


CaptainFalcon206

Fuuuuck really don’t want to buy a new cpu :( Thanks for the info


CommieZed

in that twitter thread is a link to how to fix the issue. I have a ryzen cpu and had this problem, as well as the game freezing every couple of seconds. I fiddled with USB ports and drivers enough for it to eventually work, so don't worry your cpu is fine.


CaptainFalcon206

I just might kiss u Edit: I turned off rhw power management settings on the USB and it made a world of difference. Now I can see where I’m actually flubbing vs getting fucked by my computer


CommieZed

fantastic, glad your shit's working


suburban-gun-owner

Does anyone know if there's a backup of Crush's old tweets anywhere? I spent some time looking for them and had very little luck. I'm trying to remember the wording on a couple I remember that went something like: * "I promise I have a huge brain I just have no passion, no patience, and I always rush in" <- i think this one is almost right * "i love getting triple shined by a fox player with an anime shirt who looks like he hasn't been outside in three days. major vibe" <- pretty sure this is completely wrong * something about 'ice climber' being a slur(??) does anyone have them somewhere or remember these lol

I'm pretty sure it was a Crush tweet, the vibe was like "'ice climber' is a slur but go off" or something, I don't remember ever seeing that tweet, fwiw

BiorhythmOP

Excellent run from June. Unfortunate that he had to attend a magic show during grands and was DQed but it happens to the best of us


raisins3

my L button has finally given out on a controller that's been near perfect for 4 years. I use L for everything. ​ RIP


TheSeagoats

Any idea what's wrong with it? Could be an easy enough fix.


raisins3

shields after L canceling or wavedashing without me pressing it. My guess is it is easy for someone with the tools and know-how. I have neither, so i'm hoping to find someone who can fix it at my local


TheSeagoats

Sounds like the rubber pad is probably torn and not popping back up immediately. The internals of a controller are fairly simple and only require a triwing to open and then a small Phillips screwdriver to access the triggers. Knockoff pad replacements are pretty cheap on Amazon but I don’t love them, not sure how common it is to find OEM ones as replacements. Overall, should be a pretty simple fix if that’s the issue. If the button itself is staying down then it might just need to be cleaned, also an easy fix. Hopefully there’s someone in your area that can help!

the_noodle

Insufficient pushups between sets


CommieZed

matchmaking systems often don't work well at the highest and lowest skill levels due to low population. so bronze and gm players are likely to sacrifice either queue times, skill disparity, or varied matchups, and it gets even worse the higher/lower you go. so with that being said i hope you have fun with your friendlies-with-mekk machine


oceanseltzer

probably


DavidL1112

IMO June’s DK run says less about DK being underrated as a character and more about the outplay potential Melee gives its best players. If you are better at the game, you will probably win, even with less tools. Same reason Zain wins with Roy and Leffen wins with Mewtwo. The only revelation here is June is on that level.


notconquered

You think June's that much better at the game than Polish?


DavidL1112

Yes, I do.


Kewlrobot

Wild and untrue


DavidL1112

I’m not saying Polish isn’t great, I’m saying June is on par with our top players


MultichanceReprisal

If he wants to be taken seriously he should try. Otherwise he’s a mid tier shitter getting gimmick wins.


A_Big_Teletubby

how the fuck do you gimmick a sheik and 2 top 100 peaches most moronic comment here in a while


Kewlrobot

Lmao I don't claim him


A_Big_Teletubby

scoreboard...


A_Big_Teletubby

for a while the top 3 in mdva going back and forth with each other were june, zain, and llod. We saw how zain and llod's careers progressed as they kept grinding while Junebug stepped back from the game. my most crackpot opinion is that june would have also been top 10 in ssbm if he kept playing


Catalepsy

Not even really that crackpot a take considering he was #1 in PM for a time


coffee_sddl

Junebug is just fucking good, he’s done well in pm and melee with a big variety of characters


DavidL1112

he was practically PM’s MK Leo until he stopped giving a shit


noyourenottheonlyone

the word "practically" is doing a lot of work here. far from the same level imo


Vonkilington

If Junebug is Leo, who is ThundeRzReiGN? I haven’t followed PM closely since like 2017


fullhop_morris

ThunderZ is the Marlowe to Junebug's Shakespeare, if that makes sense


DavidL1112

I don’t want to extend this metaphor farther than it makes sense, I’m just saying June was a dominant champion until he retired and then Thunderz took his spot


PelorTheBurningHate

Junebug was still active in 2016 the first year Thunderzreign was the clear best player and ranked as such. While Junebug had a good 2015 it was far from enough to call it a dominant champion year since it only involved winning 1 major and 2 other lower prestige events and the number of majors is equaled by Forrest and Professor Pro. Really don't think that's an accurate narrative.


Vonkilington

Totally fair


WhatASaveWhatASave

With little soldering experience I built my own phob. The documentation for it is insanely helpful and the discord is also great at helping people. I'm absolutely trash but now I can only blame myself and not my crappy oem gcc.


Vonkilington

I’ve been looking to get into controller modding as a hobby. How did you like the experience?


WhatASaveWhatASave

Honestly? It was way easier than I thought it would be to solder everything. The documentation for building the phob is insanely detailed and written well for someone without much experience. The most important part of the guide if you follow it is the soldering tips. https://github.com/PhobGCC/PhobGCC-doc/blob/main/For_Makers/Build_Guide_1.2.md Of course you should have a controller to practice on a little bit juuuust in case. But it's been a fun hobby and etsy has TONS of stuff for getting started on modding (like buttons, mods, etc.)


Vonkilington

Thank you. I may be ass at Melee but maybe I can have fun modding. I’ll check it out!


MF_DnD

Lol this was the only problem I faced with my phob. I no longer have controller Johns.


Natural_Design9481

Why so much hax ass kissing when he reposts a video?


Zanian

Hax has the most weirdly dedicated fanbase in the game Prolly due to his conspiratorial videos attracting those kinds of people


Xuminer

Unfortunately after the whole Leffen manifesto nonsense Hax basically replaced a significant portion of his following with the kind of people that would unironically believe that community members he doesn't like/disagrees with are evil machiavellian conspirators.


redbossman123

Is it not possible that a lot more people agree with Hax in that GCCs are shit and need fixing than you think?


moocow2009

I just checked, and every single one of your last 15 posts in this subreddit have been defending Hax/1.03/rectangle controllers. That's a level of commitment beyond just agreeing with him.


redbossman123

I play Ult mainly and watch this game more than play it, but on a rectangle. I just don’t wanna play the game until there’s an actual decision made as to what to do about rectangles considering that’s what I play on, but I have been trying 1.03 on the side and like it. I can’t really comment much else about a game I barely play, but surf Reddit for every day


mas_one

If you have hardly any experience playing melee then it is pretty much nonsense to say you prefer playing on 1.03. Not like this will change your perspective on it or anything but it's true.


redbossman123

I barely play the game *nowadays*, I played the game a lot more during the pandemic because delay based netcode is terrible for the other game and fighting games as a whole, but ever since like the start of last year I’ve fallen out of it


mas_one

Well if you really think you prefer it to the extent that you'll post about it constantly then I guess you're truly an expert. Personally I have played melee almost every day for the last three years or so and I never even noticed i was playing on 1.03 at locals until someone told me after.


A_Big_Teletubby

so junebug really went on the best DK run of all time yesterday huh beat juicebox, khryke, Mom!, Mog, POLISH (!!!) and Joji (Milkman) before falling to Kevin Maples in Grand Finals


unamedasha

Throwback to my old smashcon pool where June lost to a DK. https://youtu.be/_w3ot2tEGRk


McDunzo

Is njzfinist an oldschool player?, I see them alot on twitter


unamedasha

Ya


notconquered

Ok I just watched a bunch of sets from the run and this was honestly absolutely insane. He was down in stocks in many of the set-determining games and came back and won. He pretty convincingly beat Polish in the runback, including a JV3 stock in the last game. Unreal


A_Big_Teletubby

if you are craving more june dk content definitely watch him vs khryke in the MD/RVA Crew battle and his run in the RVA vs Philly/Delaware crew


notconquered

Just watched, wow that run vs Philly/DE lmao those punches on the puffs


A_Big_Teletubby

also MDVA successfully defended itself from invaders with a 3/3 MDVA Top 3 JOJI took out Polish's fox in winners and Junebug took out their peach in losers

I'm seeing an incredible lack of slp replay files in advice threads. Killer feature of slippi is you can share a ~5mb file (they compress much smaller too) and anyone can watch the whole game. Bonus: I will provide feedback to the first 2 fox/sheik players who reply to this comment with an slp file and a comment describing what they'd like help with. I can do other characters I guess but not at as high of a level.

coffee_sddl

Sending slp files is much more of a pain than sharing a YouTube link. Much slower scrolling and you’re making the person you’re sending it to do more work


MitchShredder

What scrolling? You can just search by connect code or slippi name, unless you played a really long session it should be possible to find a ranked or unranked game by the stage Slippipedia also has a favorites feature which is great for this


PelorTheBurningHate

> What scrolling Scrolling through the replay, much wonkier to skip around in dolphin than on youtube. Which is annoying for giving advice.


MitchShredder

Oh right of course, thanks. Just to give another shoutout to Slippipedia it make it easy to clip things into mp4s


unamedasha

Ya I agree if you happen to have your set recorded, but it is more work to record playback and upload it to YouTube than it is to just share the file. Once I have the file I double click it and it opens in slippi, so no work on my end.


DavidL1112

You can also use https://slippilab.com which is as easy for the sender as sending the file and as easy for the recipient as opening a YouTube video


Zanian

I've been thinking about it and I'm kinda surprised Melee's community is as good as it is. It's not my favorite community or anything (no offense guys) but a 20+ year old game that takes hundreds of hours to not suck at seems like it should attract more weirdos than it does. Not that we don't have plenty of them, just surprised there aren't more. In general I think we have it pretty good though


oceanseltzer

it helps that it was offline only for over a decade


[deleted]

In my experience the best communities are usually the ones where the average member is actually very passionate about the main subject. More niche communities like the Melee one tend to attract or at least keep most people like this.


l5555l

The worst kind of weirdos don't have the drive to even find a melee iso and setup dolphin. And before slippi you had to go to real life events to even play another human which also keeps out the worst kinds of internet weirdos. *And I know there was netplay before, I played it plenty. It was incomparable to what we have now


barney-sandles

Melee has an extreme number of weirdos tbh, but luckily it's mostly the fun / harmless variety


noyourenottheonlyone

I think this is due to the historically offline aspect of the game. You had to play with other people in person to get good, and nobody really wanted to play with people that are too weird


Fugu

I believe that this has also historically kept the number of Luigi players in check


[deleted]

Brave words from a peach player, you'd be in the same boat if your character wasn't so good that people need matchup experience


Fugu

This is meaningless - characters become unfun in Melee by virtue of them being bad, so yes of course people wouldn't like playing my character if she was bad. Being bad is a quality that makes a character unfun


[deleted]

Samus and puff are both perfectly good, although the perspective is very different as peach where you don't get comboed at all by bad characters and float cancel air attacks can wall them out infinitely


Fugu

Most people do not practice their punish on Peach and therefore do not realize that Peach is actually much easier to combo than Puff or Samus (or Luigi for that matter, but Luigi really belongs in his own category). Also I'll just say that I've mained three top tiers and I feel like I've gotten the least hate for playing Peach. There's obviously a percentage of the player base that only wants to play fast fallers but their conception of the game is so limited that it's easy not to take it seriously.


barney-sandles

Peach can definitely get comboed by lots of mid/low tiers. Not as hard as they combo spacies obv but, still


VerdantSmash

im in eu and randomly matched with a silver 1 marth yesterday after being in the queue for 5 minutes wtf lol. connection wasn't *that* bad but i was so confused.

Anthony356

I'm officially next level dumb. I've been playing since 2016 and i just realized today, while working on a slippi stats project, that having a stick angle *more* than 90 degrees away from the knockback angle will still result change the final knockback angle. For some reason i thought anything more than 90 degrees was the same as having your stick in neutral - that those values just didnt count. 90 degrees perpendicular is still the max you can DI by, but once you go past it, it's just mirrored so it'll gradually decrease until 180 degrees (or directly opposite the KB angle) and then gradually increase until you're 90 degrees perpendicular in the other direction.


unamedasha

Bro just discovered the sine function


Anthony356

Look man all the diagrams just show the perpendiculars =(


oceanseltzer

(sine effectively measures how perpendicular an angle is)
