This looks cool, thank you!
I do have an important related question for SmashERA: is it worth it to buy the Switch wired Internet adapter? How much of a difference does it make for (amateur) competitive play?
Huge difference. I can immediately tell when someone is playing wireless. If your goal is to become competitive offline, then wireless isn't going to come close to simulating that kind of environment.This looks cool, thank you!

Well, I somehow managed to work my way, again, into the last qualifying finals for this thing! And this time I MADE SURE to not mess up my registration.It seems that my Discord-illiteracy has doomed me.
Remember how I mentioned two weekends ago how I qualified for the finals for my region in the Nintendo tournament? Turns out I was supposed to provide extra info about myself as of a week ago. Thing is, I tried to figure out if I had to do anything extra to make sure my registration was finalized, but I never received any direct help in that regard.
Or, at least, I didn't think I did. Turns out that I was DM'ed on the 19th from one of the organizers who wanted to inquire about my info. I just simply never noticed because I almost never use Discord and could not tell apart a DM notification from a Discord group one.
I was also e-mailed, but I didn't see the e-mail until now because it was filtered. I literally had to type "Nintendo" into the search bar to find it. I only did that because I had an ominous suspicion that something was wrong.
So now I'm basically trying to appeal to the organizers to let me get my registration done, since I did earnestly try to figure out how to do it and the waiting period between the this qualifier and the final is 2 weeks instead of 1 week like it is for the others.
I hope for the best here, but my expectations are rock-bottom. It's just awful knowing I threw away a chance like this due to my own incompetency. Sure, there's one more qualifier I can participate in, but even disregarding the jank ruleset my mental state is completely shattered right now. v_v
you...can't really datamine netcodeHas there been any datamining saying they're overhauling the online to not be complete shit? The GSP system is so bad, I can't fathom how anyone thought this was a good solution

In all seriousness, this may not be obvious.
Hey guysm. I need your advice.
Been playing online today and it has been nothing but losses. My GSP is at 90,000 and honestly I'm feeling pretty sucky right about now. Honestly I didn't think my skills were this bad.
The worst part is, the more I lose, the worse I feel and the worse my reflexes become. It is a vicious cycle.
For example, there was this Lucas that did nothing but spam pk fire and pk freeze... and he won. I mean, that hurts.
Guess I just need to vent a little. But any advice to getting better would be welcome.
Good luck.Nintendo Open tournament is starting! Cheer me and Anonymous Tipster on!

IGNORE MEGood luck.
I tried all three qualifiers and lost, though I was a bit further in the 2nd SW regional.
I'm still wishing you both luck.
We have shirts? lol
Yup. Yoshi is top-tier for this because:Congrats, especially for having to deal with the ruleset + Smash online lol.
You use Yoshi the whole time?
I'm going to move on from the smash community. I've been thinking about how frustrated I've been getting with this game and the people in it for months and finally I realized I could just leave.
Every day I feel like this game wasn't meant for me more and more. At first I thought I could make bayo work if I just stayed dedicated, 4 months later and a long story short it isn't going to happen. Truly thought I could just go from top tier to top tier at the snap of my fingers but I guess in the end I actually did love bayo more than anyone else and switching was impossible.
The sudden influx of people who like watching me helped a lot at first but then I realized it's just because I manage to win games with... her. Now I really just feel like a circus act when I play on stream, not a real competitor.
The main reason I want to leave though is the community. A year ago today I'd say "The hate is strong but I've made so many great friends who help me get past it..!"
But lately I'm realizing that shit is really not normal at all. Why am I supposed to just hold that? I never wanted smash to be a career and never will.
I came into the smash community watching compilations and playing online, I just wanted to hit cool combos and be fun to watch. That's it. I became good at it by chance but I never signed up for whatever this is.
Top players that people idolize and I thought were my friends told me people only played me for bayo practice and just cut me off immediately when Ultimate came out. Others are predatory creeps but no one will say anything because connections > being a decent person.
Meanwhile a bunch of other people I thought were my friends talk bad about me the second I'm not looking. I could get sad about it but in reality... why entertain this shit when I can just exit?
Basically the community stopped clicking for me and the game didn't click even once. I'm not in the situation that made me adore smash in the first place so it's best that I just go, bye everyone!
Are you holding the B button down? You can switch to any art that way pretty easily.Holy shit is shulk the hardest character to use? There has got to be a better way to change powers...
Ty! I kind of figured it out but I be also been backslash while trying to selected a power. This problem could be from having an issue with joy con not fully going in run when I jab to the right, all it does if tilt so the character moves slow and does attacks I don't want...any ideas on fixes?Are you holding the B button down?

Uh, could you rephrase that?Ty! I kind of figured it out but I be also been backslash while trying to selected a power.

Lol yeah stupid phone. My joy con stick might have dead zone problems, character rarely goes into run animation when I move stick far right/left...
Oh, that's unfortunate. It may be worth to just try another controller. Either the GameCube one or the Pro controller should work fine.Lol yeah stupid phone. My joy con stick might have dead zone problems, character rarely goes into run animation when I move stick far right/left...
In a series reboot, what would be changed about the returning characters?
