Oh man, the K. Rool tease is way too much. DK's villain deserves a spot on the roster at this point, maybe next time you king of crocs.

I don't see any reason why these 3 aren't all legal. They have the same basic layout, but the platform length and placement does make certain matchups different. The issue with treating them like Omega stages leads to issues with characters that use the platforms for stage mobility. Dreamland...

Walk-offs are interesting and should be legal for stages where the walk-off is temporary. This is already the case with some stages like Delphino Plaza. The issue with permanent walk-offs is camping. It's too huge of an issue of characters with good throws just sitting at the edge and stalling...

I hope this ends up being true. I want to believe.

If it's becoming a big issue then the simple solution is to put in a 30 second rule or something similar. Players who don't respect it (continue to talk with the coach and stall the round) lose coaching rights for the rest of the tournament. As for whether or not it's "fair", it is true that a...

Hand injuries are painful and beyond the physical pain can be demoralizing. I've not met Hax, but I wish him a speedy recovery. It's a little boggling how mean a few of the comments have been. I know people will argue different opinions on various issues related to the Smash games themselves...

Good guide. Sheik has a lot of interesting tools as her disposal, I'm looking forward to what people can do mastering her.

I'd say it's thriving if we're looking at the number of tournaments being run and the game's streaming popularity on Twitch. There are going to be players who would rather just keep playing Melee, P.M., or whichever version they preferred prior to Smash U. And that's fine. Really, it's to be...

Here's a thought if we end up with 14 or so stages and people start bickering over striking and wanting to drop 1. I'll just preface this with the plea to read both of the next two paragraphs before getting a knee jerk reaction. Why not take Final Destination (or battlefield) out of the...

Small combos are fine. They're fun for players and exciting for spectators. That being said, combos in Smash should be somewhat limited given the nature of the game. Combos are an important aspect of any fighting game, it's not the only part. Smash doesn't need 0 to death combos in order to...

I love the idea of having a single stage list. That said, I agree with nearly everything in the in the original post, but think we should look twice at the 13 stage limit. The idea of just having legal stages instead of starters and counterpicks is great. As stated, the issue with certain...

These videos were great for Marvel. A nice balance of genuinely hilarious comedy with tutorials geared at newer players. This is going to be some solid exposure for Smash towards the rest of the FGC and I'm looking forward to watching them.

If I had to take a guess, they probably will share the same list with minor speculation on differences. This is because the tournament life of the 3DS version is pretty much over in favor of the console release. To compile a tier list independent of the Wii U version, you'd need to have clearly...

Using abandon ship or whatever the official name is for the Koopaling/Jr Up-B to get explosion kills. I can't tell you the number of KOs I've gotten on players by doing this above them and watching the exploding clown kart send them flying. It's very situational, often unsafe and is basically...

I've got to say that the way you phrased this made me laugh. Regardless of the game, I still always get the image of people playing SF2 and crying about how "cheap" those Ryu fireballs are whenever people complain about this stuff. But yeah, it's not just Smash (although the projectile...
