Brawl continues to have a niche competitive scene, obviously very small compared to other smash games, but at least it has one, with net play and side bracket tournaments being held. Smash 4 on the other hand has none, and is only played at super nova. Why is that? Is there an online net play scene for 4, or it really just only played at super nova annually? From my knowledge, 4 was regarded more positiviely competitively than brawl, but brawl is seemingly looked more favorably now than 4.

I think it's a pretty solid roster despite not having a couple of fan favorites like The Ice Climbers,Wolf, or even Snake. I like how you can play as your Mii.

Hey everyone! For the past few years I've been making a new kind of fighting game that is heavily inspired by Smash Bros, Lethal League, and Windjammers. In FLICKSHOT you don't have direct control over your ship's movement, so you must harness recoil to blast yourself around the arena.

It shares a lot of the same design ethos as Smash, and has a tons of mechanics and structure that you'll be familiar with (directional influence, teching, parrying, freeform combos, stock/time/coin modes, your ship flies further and faster at lower health, and there's even a movement technique similar to wavedashing if you can believe it!)

Smash Bros and the Melee/PM scene was my entire world growing up, so I really wanted this game to work both as a chaotic party game and as a 1v1 competitive fighter with deep skill expression for tournament play.

FLICKSHOT releases in 2027 and here's the Steam page if you'd like to give it a wishlist!

I've been watching the stream for like 10 times to see if i just missed something, but nothing makes sense, does anyone know what was that even about? Or is it like a really specific thing i have to be an expert to understand?

This is the second tournament that we will be having with friends.

The first one we had last year, we had 5 set ups and only 1 device was connected to the Elgato HD60 S+. It was pretty laggy but it was fun.

This time we have 8 stations but I plan to connect each station to an HDMI 1x2 splitter to connect to a Seamless 8x1 Switcher than will connect to the Elgato 4K S for recording/streaming. By chance — would anyone know what type of Seamless HDMI Switcher would be recommended..? I have some ideas, but I would like to know if there are any recommendations. Also, let me know If i should be in another subreddit to get a proper answer or to post it there instead of here, thanks!

Note that I'm not advocating for phantoms to be patched out, I'm saying that the logic that defines a phantom hit is clearly bugged and needs a patch.

For those who've never seen it, UnclePunch wrote a fantastic article which illustrates with images how bugged phantom hits are. Characters are nose to nose and a hit completely whiffs and does zero knockback.

To summarize the problem, the game stops checking for additional hurtboxes when an earlier check phantoms. So a hit can connect cleanly with an arm hurtbox, but phantom the body hurtbox of a character which causes no knockback to occur.

This implementation comes with quite a few disadvantages.

• The body hurtbox is often hitbox 1 which gives it the highest priority, which is the opposite behavior you'd want for phantoms to work as intended.
• The hurtbox ID's are arbitrary and are just in whatever order the artists/game designers added them. This causes some characters to take phantom hits more often than others, for no discernible reason. For example characters who have a high priority waist hurtbox.
• It disproportionately punishes moves with a single hitbox like rest. This is another arbitrary limitation because some moves have just one bigger hitbox instead of two or more smaller overlapping ones.
• It inordinately punishes high commit moves. Falcons knee is famously frame positive on shield. But this bug randomly turns what is either a guaranteed kill or advantageous shield pressure for falcon, into leaving him completely open to attacks.

So don't believe the commentators when they say a phantom hit is just perfect spacing. 9 times out of 10, its just a random mess devoid of any apparent reason.

UnclePunch closed his article with a code which causes the game to check other hurtboxes if an earlier ID phantomed. This actually brings the mechanic in line to what the game calls them, in melee "tippers" and in later smash games "glancing blows". UCF, after all, has already changed the internal behavior of the game to make it more competitive when it added neutral starts. And that's not even a bug which has decided the outcome of matches like this one has.

I am trying to find a good undies character to play and wondering which characters would fit the criteria right now the only characters I play that I would consider fundies characters are wolf and Marth. Would they be considered fundies characters or no?

First tournament held in my country and I wanted to share this achievement with everyone.

Thank you FGC Sarajevo for hosting this event! 🇧🇦

I live in a college town, and a local shop in my area is hosting a one-time brawl tournament. I'm not too worried about the skill-level of people here since it's a smaller town, but I'm more worried about how to win since the tournament has a unique ruleset.

The rules are:

- No items

- 3 lives

- 4 player match

- No Meta Knight

Since it's a free for all, I'm not too sure what my strategy will be. There's no rule posted about stages, so I'll assume it's any stage. I'm pretty sure it'll be single elimination as well.

Any tips on how to win this? I have a pocket Ice Climbers that I used to use to troll my friends, but I don't think it'll work in a ffa. I'm thinking of using Dedede since he's a little heavier and has a good chain grab for 1v1s. I'll probably just camp or circle around the stage if anyone approaches since I'm really looking to win this. The prize is a Switch 2 and my wife really wants one so I gotta try my hardest haha.

Which character should I choose? Anything I should be aware of?

I just got a switch 2, first nintendo console since the gamecube. I want to get the latest smash bros, but my gut is telling me we're close to a new release, and I dont want to spend that money only to have a new one released shortly after. I know theres nothing official, but I was wondering if theres been any news or rumors about what might be coming in the near future.
