Dabuz's Proposed Patch/Switch Changes

Posted: 21 Dec 2016 01:49 PM PST

Dabuz made an extremely well-thought out list of proposed changes. He wants to keep characters good at their inherent strengths, but doesn't want to see them needlessly shut out other characters. I'd encourage a full read HERE
TL;DR
  • Improve ledge rolls across the board (FAF and invincibility), so characters can't easily cover all ledge options.
  • Adjust rage for high base knockback and overall extremely strong moves, reducing kills at 50% from 100%+ rage.
  • Bayonetta: Reduce Witch Time radius to make it less threatening to push buttons against her. Easier to space and play neutral vs Bayo.
  • Diddy: Add lag to startup and endlag of banana toss (for all characters). Some characters have no options against Diddy with banana in hand. The proposed nerf weakens Diddy in that situation and again, like Bayo, allows for players to actually push buttons against Diddy without threat of instant hard punish.
  • Cloud: Reduce passive benefits like movement speed from a limit-charged Cloud. Nerf speed of charging from attacking/getting hit. Potentially eliminate ledge snap from Up-B. Reasoning is that Cloud is simply overpowered for his ease of use. List of players that use or pocket Cloud: Komorikiri, Tweek, M2K, Leo, Mr.R, ANTi, Nairo, Vinnie, Larry, Zero, 6wx, more. And 50% of teams use Cloud.
  • Jigglypuff: BuffPuff

Top 20 Melee Sets of 2016 - Nominations

Posted: 21 Dec 2016 05:09 PM PST

Approved by mods :D

Hello! This is a thread where we'll see what r/Smashbros thinks are the 20 best sets of 2016.

Any set is able to be nominated. It doesn't have to be Grand Finals of any particular tournament, nor does it have to be Round 1 Pools. Any set you believe is a set worthy of Top 20 of 2016 is a set you can nominate

Today, we'll be doing nominations.
How it works today:
  • Comment down below with a set you think should be nominated. Please post a VOD or video link to the set, as well as a reason why the set should be nominated (excellent play, the meaning of the set, etc)
  • Upvote the sets you think are the best
  • I will take the top 5 upvoted sets and put them into a poll tomorrow.
  • Please do not down vote people
  • Grand Finals Bracket Resets count as the same set - just one bigger set.
  • Please remember to upvote this thread if you want to see more people's opinions in this ranking!
This is all just a fun thing to do as the year closes, so have fun!

Official /r/smashbros Monthly Voted Tier List (December 2016): Voting

Posted: 21 Dec 2016 04:42 PM PST

Hey guys! I know that it's been a while since the last monthly tier list came out, mainly because, if you haven't noticed, I'm the new user running this! The guy who did it before, after working with it for a year, decided to pass it down to another person, like the guy before him. I guess it's a tradition now? Doesn't matter now, you're stuck with me either way!
If you're more interested in why I didn't get this out earlier, check out this update post I made on the DDT.
Oh yeah, I also made a couple of changes to the old formula when creating this month's voting, as you may notice as you go through this post and the voting form. Let me know whether you like them or not in the response section at the end of the form!
With that out of the way, let's get to your regularly scheduled post!

MIIS WITH CUSTOMS ARE LISTED AS XXXX, MIIS WITHOUT CUSTOMS ARE LISTED AS 1111
ALL MIIS ARE AVERAGE SIZE AND DO NOT HAVE CUSTOM EQUIPMENT
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO VOTE FOR EVERY CHARACTER

NOTABLE TOURNAMENT PLACINGS (Let me know if there's anything I missed!):

December Tournaments Used:
November Tournaments Used:*
*November results are included because of the lack of a monthly tier list that month.

HOW TO VOTE

There are a total of 5 general tiers; S Tier, A Tier (divided into A+ and A- tier), B Tier (divided into B+ and B- tier), C Tier (divided into C+ and C- tier), and D Tier. Based on the description of each tier in the poll, you will vote where you think each character belongs, with S Tiers being the best and D Tiers being the worst. Using my magical, mythical, and totally ballin' powers (aka basic math), I will transmogrify all of the polls together to come up with the month's tier list!

Click here to fill out the poll!

Below, you can look for a certain character's name.
DO NOT USE THEM TO VOTE CHARACTERS UP OR DOWN ON THE LIST!
These act as discussion prompts, allowing people to talk about said characters. They can be used to talk about how good characters are in the meta, how these characters are played, how to play against these characters, and really anything else, as long as it's about the character listed and how they play in Smash 4.

Posted: 21 Dec 2016 09:41 PM PST

Some awesome Minnesota Smash recently. Yeti is a rising star in the Midwest, and Skorpio is probably the second best Robin in the US behind Dath.
