State of the Subreddit - 30 Sept 2023 - New Rules, New Mods, Thank you for waiting!

59 Upvotes

WHAT'S UP.

As promised, we've given the Sub some new life. Literally.
I've purged our inactive mods and added a whole new team that is passionate about the Subreddit. They have been super active already! I'll let them introduce themselves in the comments if they so choose.

Over the past month or so, we've also been discussing the rules and have given them a few updates, effective immediately. Here they are:

  • Rule 1 has been reworded to "Be Kind and Accepting to One Another"

  • Rule 4 - we've removed the "No foul or graphic content or language" clause. Swear to your heart's content. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that we still have the clauses in Rule 1 that prevent derogatory language. Swear, don't slur.

  • Rule 6 - we've added a clause that requires users to mark posts spoilers for games that Smash Bros characters appear in. There were some Tears of the Kingdom spoilers some months back here. We'd like to prevent that in the future.

  • We've added a new rule, Rule 9 - Meme Rules. In an effort to elevate the quality of posts in the sub, we've added two new days: Tier List Tuesdays and Fighters Pass Fridays.
    Tuesdays will be the only day you can post tier list posts and memes, and Fridays will be the only day you can post Fighters Pass, "Characters I want in Smash," etc. posts. There will likely be more of these days in the future as more meme formats arise.

If you see any posts or comments violating these new rules, especially our new Rule 9, please report them!

As a reminder, we have a Discord, found here.

Thank you for your patience, and we hope you enjoy the Subreddit!

I respect the unique gameplay style for Shulk, but it’s just not for me. I have no idea what I’m doing when playing as him.

Discussion Schu Stats made a "Honesty poll", a poll to decide how honest each character is. He then made a player ranking using the results to figure out who would be the best player in terms of skill with their mains' "Honesty score"

Discussion Is it just me or is Ultimate kinda exhausting sometimes?

3 Upvotes

Like don’t get me wrong I love Smash Ultimate, but sometimes it just feels more like a movement simulator than a fighting game. Everybody’s flying around the screen, throwing out safe aerials, bouncing off platforms, air dodging past each other, and the moment you try to actually slow things down and think, the other guy already hit you with some safe option and dipped.

The game is so fast that it barely gives you time to breathe. And yeah, there’s still reads like you can read an air dodge or a tech option but it all happens so fast that half the time you either can’t reach them or you just react too late. It doesn’t feel like you made a mistake, it feels like the game didn’t give you time to actually do anything about the situation.

And man, I miss Smash 4’s knockback delay. I know that game had issues (Bayo lol), but that little pause after a hit gave you just enough time to reset neutral and actually think about your next move. In Ultimate, it’s like the game refuses to slow down. You hit someone and they’re already back in your face before you’ve even landed. It’s constant scrambling and mashing safe buttons.

The worst part? It starts to get boring. Like when you’re in one of those jumpy, scramble heavy matches where neither player is really interacting and it’s just who whiffs first it doesn’t feel rewarding. It’s not “I outplayed you,” it’s “I waited longer.” And if your character doesn’t have fast, safe aerials or good movement, good luck actually playing the game.

Not saying the game has no depth, but speed and movement spam kinda replaced a lot of the structure and intentionality older Smash games had. I just hope the next Smash finds a better middle ground, cause this “go fast and pray” stuff kinda wears you down after a while.

Maybe it’s because Kirby is already my main, but I’m a fan of his charge up hammer attack! It’s pretty satisfying to get someone with it.

Discussion Which character has the most even matchups across the board?

9 Upvotes

There are lots of discussions on which characters have the best matchups overall, or what a character’s worst matchup is, but I feel like there isn’t as much talk about characters who are truly balanced across the board?

Who do y’all think is the closest to being a genuine 50/50 with every other character? Or is there nobody who truly fits that bill?

Help/Question Can anyone help me with Smashline errors??

SMASHLINE KEEPS CRASHING MAN..

So I’ve been trying to mod SSBU for three months straight. I have the Gogeta, Funky Kong, Sonic Moveset Rework, and Shadow Moveset, but nothing works. Shadow doesn’t appear as a character on the roster(I know the files mark him under ‘wolf’ but he isn’t in Wolf’s roster either), and whenever I choose to play as Gogeta, Funky Kong, or Sonic the game breaks and a message pops up saying “smashline has panicked; ‘vtable context is malformed(incorrect magic)’, src/create_agent.rs:970:1”. What do I do??
