Lurker > anttttt

i felt nothing when watching it. don't think i ever laughed at any of its repetitive, predictable jokes (wow aren't straight silly, wow isn't it funny that gays love cher, wow isn't it funny that this gay person likes "straight" hobbies) and it went through all the beats of all the "straight romcoms" they loved to make fun constantly

not sure if i'd watch bros but i might on tuesday if super bored

my cerebral palsy means i have to walk ~20 minutes back and forth, but i could use the exercise i guess

i've been too preoccupied with strive lately and i really should be playing more smash. also had a pretty bad birthday this year (sep 2nd)

steve is silly but people really love to undersell how strong wifi is for practice and love weaponizing wifi in general to devalue the skill of other players

miya is a wifi g&w and is a top player in japan that upset many top players but nobody seems to complain about that for some reason. also asimo but i guess it doesn't matter if it's not steve

i thought the murderer was so obvious when they pulled the tina fey misdirect

it felt way too easy

i have cp and so many people told me that asking for help is being "weak" and "being a burden" as a kid that i actually believed it and made so many things more difficult for myself

I have to try as hard as I can just to stand a chance of winning against Nightmarish lmao

nightmarish is fun to fight. lots of fun taunting and wolf is fun to fight (when ned isn't obliterating me online anyway)

Wifi Warriors rise up.

i'm next

steve is insane but people understate the big gap between acola and onin, and onin then everyone else

funny how big the skill disparity is when it comes to beating steve. muteace did way better than everyone else when it came to fighting steve

a lot of kids made fun of me for being the disabled kid all the time, especially in middle school

fullfil my dream of being a disabled streamer that hosts charities and stuff

buy a modest house i can live in

aww i was gonna time them out and bm

if she needs your help she'd ask for it. as a disabled person, we usually aren't offended by ignorance (we don't expect people to know our capabilities) but we do get offended by people who think we can't do anything on our own

lots of cringe posts itt btw

what's the downside?

haven't been playing much lately. been busy grinding strive

the steve salt is so funny

big d played out of his mind, and for someone who (afaik) has no steve experience he played it really damn well, mainly losing to a few knowledge checks and an unfortunate sd. did way better than anyone else in the matchup

i'd play maybe

being a streamer is my dream job

sonic is legit top 5 if you play as lame as possible with your leads
zss can do it as well but it's a lot harder to have the lead to begin with

i remember the short-lived #bansonic

i love seeing sonic win

i love reading the salt and rage

i peaked with a massive 2 viewers on my twitch stream

i lost my wallet but somebody contacted me and drove all the way to the restaurant i was at to hand it to me

there is no chance of an emergency patch because characters aren't as severely op as bayo was in the last game

the most i want out a patch is another aegis nerf (i wish mythra was just a feather weight and i think that'd do a ton and maybe a nerf to dair > upsmash from pyra), some characters that struggle to kill like duck hunt and ton link should have 1 more kill option (kill throw or jab buff like bayo got), and of course multihits and moves need to be fixed (boost kick, meta knight up b)

i don't really know how to nerf steve combos and tech without nerfing the fun, but if i had to choose things i'd nerf anvil and minecart (in killing power and mash needed to escape) and make him lose resources on death

i don't really think anyone is that much of a balance concern (i think aegis is mostly overblown) but i agree that a safety net nerf would be fair, even if we're definitely not getting one. it'd be cool to see this game get more dev attention but i have no hopes

Steve won't be banned but is an absolutely insane character and at minimum, top 10, but probably saying top 5 isn't an understatement. Disgusting character.

https://i.imgur.com/RsRNcqn.png

on shogun's youtube you can find a poll regarding most hated characters, and steve is unsurprisingly number 1.this is a bit of an old video before the absolute explosion of acola (sep 2021), but it's funny to think that steve was this disliked before he was solidified as an unambiguous top tier. the rest of the list is min min, samus, pyra/mythra, and sonic. i wonder if steve would've been nerfed hard like min min if we still got patches

https://i.imgur.com/EExZHi9.png

there is also a "top 10 most fun to fight" list and i didn't expect these results, though i do agree that wolf, joker, and lucina are very fun to fight

funny how japan doesn't really care about g&w. even with players like across who gets top 8 nobody really thinks that highly of him. i guess it makes sense because campy gameplay is the best way to fight him. i just think reading up on opinions across the world is really fun

steve is extremely good but wanting him banned is super cringe

it's just the typical kneejerk reactionary garbage the community always does when one player wins a tournament, and it wasn't like the player that won wasn't the expected winner anyways because they are the japanese player in the world

it's clear that people still don't really know anything about the matchup. look at all the times people just run up to high minecart and die to it even when they have counters, or all the times they let acola side b off ledge or all the times people fell for the same minecart block wall strat. he's definitely a knowledge check and people in the us barely play his worse matchups (zss and yoshi) and complain about how impossible he is to deal with

i agree that steve fucking sucks to fight but i'm not a pro player or good at the game so my opinion doesn't count, and a character being lame is not a reason to ban them

ken did

did i upset your friend enough or were they gonna leave anyways

jr is a wifi character and g&w's up b is amazing for punishing side b so it's pretty lopsided

unfortunate

strange lag there

i'll do one more

up smashing that recovery is the best part about the whole matchup

wifi

i forgot they buffed his up b so i always fall for up b forward smash
i always try to dash punish but always get f smashed

i live in iowa

the furthest tournament is like 2 hours and travel is not cheap

nice

my birthday is coming up in a few months and it'd be hilarious if i could get a present to go out somewhere

i camped a zss player for 8 minutes earlier and she ragequit as the timer hit 0 so i imagine i can do well online. been trying to incorporate more grabs lately (was always tricky due to where the grab button is placed) but i've gotten a lot better at using it

i wish i could be satisfied with a simple job. my disability makes a lot of jobs difficult and the only contribution to my family i bring are my ssi checks and whatever i make in stocks

my twin seemingly hates their job and i wish they could be satisfied with what they have

my cerebral palsy gives me constant foot pain whenever i walk and my foot is constantly dry
i never learned how to walk properly so i always get blisters on my big toe that are very big (bigger than my other toes) and my skin is always dry and itchy and in pain no matter how little i walk

i got new shoes a few weeks ago which are a lot easier to wear (i can't tie shoes) and have some cushioning but i still get week-lasting soreness after walking for less than 20 minutes a day so i know what it feels like to have foot pain that's debilitating. my foot swells up a lot too which really sucks because i can't do simple shit like walking my dog without getting pain for days

sorry for possibly derailing your topic, but foot pain sucks and i wouldn't wish it on anybody

i would've played but i was out all day
the pool here is open and swimming (for me it's just basic paddling) is good exercise, not to mention the walk to the pool

i overdid the walking (i have a blister the size of a big grape of my left foot) but it was a fun day until i witnessed (graphic) a dog running into traffic and getting hit, instantly dying upon impact. it was less than two minutes from my house too

anyway i'll should try to play more because i kinda stopped playing fighting games in general lately, strive included. today ended on a bit of a bummer note so i'm not sure if i want to play today

i need to fight this trenton guy

i spent 8 minutes playing an in-game-time 3 mins 11s game against a zss because she was so laggy the game kept freezing for extended periods of time

looking cute

i really don't care about balance patches but i wish we got consistency patches still

https://youtu.be/_30lNWYbNeM

i figured out the ultimate way to 2 frame people who up be to ledge

ngl zzs's forward air would be godlike if it always worked, same with up b because it's the jankiest oos in the game

i ran into that colorondo8 guy (4th pgr in st louis) and beat them

it wasn't much because they weren't on their main, but it feels nice to run into good players and not spammers or players that just go through the same motions

my dream is to be a streamer but i doubt it'll really happen when my peak viewership is like 8 and i mostly struggle to get past 2

i always wanted to get a handcam just to show people how someone with cerebral palsy plays games like guilty gear strive or something but i doubt i'll ever fulfill that dream

unless i really want to go pro (not an option), metafy is too expensive for me and i'd rather just hunt down pros in viewer lobbies or elite smash

mute is far and away the best peach
umeki is good but he absolutely gets dumpstered every now and then whereas mute is considerably more consistent

i wish the jp inklings, especially shirayuki, would travel because it's refreshing to see those once-dominant characters like peach, inkling, and pokemon trainer get big upsets every now and then

i'm out

idk i might leave if it's still bad

i'd still recovering from being sick for like 5 days so i might dip early

fund my dream of being a disabled streamer that's an inspiration to other disabled players, with handcam and everything

that'd what i'd do if i had that money

i mostly fight jr like a gimped sonic with some gimmick di checks and a scary jab in the corner
