So if I'm reading this right, that pocket strategy mainly gets abused in 2v2, right?

Regardless, though, in the long run, customs at EVO is a neat idea, but it doesn't entirely work due to everything involved with customs.

I, like most people were actually fairly okay with their inclusion at EVO. I personally still am because we still haven't seen how they play out, or how potentially fun the matches can be to watch. EVO and other scattered tournaments not outright banning them was refreshing and anti-knee jerk.


But they're still an untested, not fully explored avenue. An avenue for broken, cheap, downright unfair scenarios.


Only time will tell.

you're implying that MK9 isnt used by over 90% of the players to fuck around in at parties.
People dismiss smash as a 'party' game all the time. Even when 'Rose ball' was a college staple in street fighter and drunken MK9 was a memorable part of that game's life in some scenes.

The FGC isn't the most all-inclusive of communities though. So we can't say this sort of attitude is unexpected. Oh well.

You got it. Correction though: Villager's pocket's damage increase wasn't 'discovered', the game outright tells you and even explicates the damage modifier. Also Villager's pocket was always seen as effective and was actually called cheap by many pros. Aside from projectile pocketing, the pocket/re pocket mechanic shuts down Diddy's banana game since he can't pull out another.
LOL! No wonder Mew2King hates the guy then! He's riding the Diddy wagon these days.

Best thing you can do with Pocket though is vs Ness. He goes for his Up B to stage recover and you just grab is PK Thunder out of the air and watch him fall. Hilarious as hell watching someone's reaction the first time you do it to them XD

The real custom contender for borderline busted is Mario's gust cape though. Point blanking it has a fixed knockback that is insane. In the training mode it hit for 13 punching bag lengths! Thats a bit much to get ledge bopped by. Oh well...at least Ganondorf gets more fun with sword, hop up divekick and high vert Up B.

Let’s go crazy!
I don't even know what customs are
Custom Moves are a feature in Super smash brothers for wiiu and 3ds which allow the player to customize each character's special moves.

btw, i didnt know people on tym played smash competitive. i played smash competitive since 2009.

Smush = party game.

That is all you have to know.
NRS games are considered party games by pretty much everyone else too, well, who cares *shrug*

I disagree with this sentiment. Such things need discovering as soon as possible. It's only a matter of time 'till everything is found, and if there's something really broken, I don't think a lot of people will enjoy being stuck with it.

I agree. Just don't make a video with epic memes and distorted audio.

You can believe
that if it makes you feel better about being a Smush player.
If you're playing videogames competitively I don't really see the point in measuring egos by what game you play honestly. Anime, Smash, NRS, Capcom...who gives a shit? Really. Its a fucking videogame. We're all being nerds. Lets just enjoy that for what it is and stop trying to setup a social hierarchy based on games.

That said, I play everything. They each have something to offer. If I wanted to be closed minded about fighters I'd have stuck with parroting what the marvel folk told me to and just played top tier. I think I'm happier and better for not doing that.

I'm interested to know when exactly the Smash games will be streaming at EVO so I can be sure to miss them. I feel like Smash was on for 8 hours on the final day last year at EVO. Luckily, there are TWO Smash games at EVO this year! Whoo!

His ego is only as big as the projectile he can toss across the screen.

For the record, I don't play Smash.
Seriously though, you should give any non-NRS game a serious try someday to see what's behind the talk. I don't like NRS downplaying like it's 1993, but they at least have a point.

This. You'd be surprised what's out there. Blaz blue has some of the best stuff I've seen honestly in terms of unique mechanics. Azrael and Trinity's gimmicks would be right at home here at NRS. Tatsunoko vs Capcom had the best rekka character ever in Polimar given he could cancel a mashable lockdown move into one of 3 moves (High,low, or grab) . Hell even Arcana Heart has something cool in that it has a homing dash...imagine the stuff you could do with that in other games. Lord it'd make Thor obscene in UMVC3. Smash bros has the greatness that is the tech chase and the landing lag cancels into dashes. Imagine the glory of aNightwing player who could whif a dive into a dash up string and chase you.

There are tons of tech and innovations in other fighters. Play em all and learn how they each respectively work. You'd be surprised how many great ideas have come about.
