| Posted: 17 Jul 2017 12:48 PM PDT UPDATE Jason: Co-Founder and Creative Director - Best Fidget Spinner NA Since starting Wavedash in 2015, we've always said that our biggest advantage is that we can share our progress with the community much earlier than other companies. The Smash community sets a very, very high bar, and we consistently find that the bar is even higher than we previously expected. [link] [comments]  | ||

| I'm not a smash player, but that Evo top 8 on Sunday was amazing! Posted: 17 Jul 2017 12:04 PM PDT I play pretty much every fighter except Smash, so I don't follow the scene (I know a bit about the Melee scene). But I ended up getting really good seats for the finals yesterday and I didn't want to lose them during the Smash 4 finals yesterday, so I stayed. And I am so glad I did! Those finals were absolutely nuts! And that grand finals? Damn... Completely insane and a total blast to watch! Congrats to all! [link] [comments]  | ||
| The Wii U just got a new System Update. If you have Smash Wii U mods, DO NOT UPDATE. Posted: 17 Jul 2017 05:38 PM PDT The Internet Browser was one of the titles hit. So it most likely was patched. http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1436/p/431/c/267 Edit: DNS blocks - set primary as the one closest to you, secondary as the other Los Angeles, USA: 168.235.092.108 Alblasserdam, NL: 081.004.127.020 [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 17 Jul 2017 12:17 PM PDT My parents have previously been quite harsh toward my passion for video games, particularly Smash. They thought it was a waste of time and actively sought to stop me from pursuing my goal of becoming the best Yoshi main. Thankfully, that's no longer the case. Thanks to Disney XD's coverage of EVO, I was able to finally show my parents the reason why I love this game. The fast movement, the extremely tense neutral game, the character variety, etc. It was all there, and all of us enjoyed every bit of it. They came out with a new understanding of Smash, and now I can safely say they'll be supporting me in my future endeavors in Smash tournaments. Mom even said I should try and make it to EVO sometime! Sure, I'm not good enough to make it past 0-2, but still, I'd love to go! But I digress. Thank you, Disney XD, for helping me show my parents the reason I love Super Smash Bros. Oh, and a special shoutout to D1 and VikkiKitty. Your commentary was amazing and really helped them follow along after I explained the basics to them. Plus, you two had great synergy with each other and it showed throughout Top 8. I could listen to your commentary all day. (Sidenote: Am I the only one that heard ZeRo say "Fuck yeah!" on live national television?) [link] [comments]  | ||

| New Melee to-do list. This list will probably outlive me. Posted: 17 Jul 2017 12:06 PM PDT Poke Floats, Break The Targets, Green Greens, Yoshi's Story, Opening, Hyrule Temple, Final Destination. Not necessarily in that order. I hit 60 this year, so some of these may have to go to the next generation :D [link] [comments]  | ||

| Highest Placing Player of Each Character at EVO 2017 Posted: 17 Jul 2017 01:56 PM PDT I saw one for smash 4, so I thought I'd make one for melee for the memes... Most characters will not be represented. (Bowser): DJ Nintendo? (49th) Primary: ? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Why a 2 month "off season" for Smash 4 would be a great thing for the scene Posted: 17 Jul 2017 08:23 PM PDT And it's not just "top player burnout", it goes a lot deeper.
There are a lot more reasons to that I don't want to go into a ton of detail with because I dont want to write a novel but here they are.
Feel free to discuss this with counter arguments but I believe this is a great solution to a lot of problems in the Smash 4 scene currently. Hope to see real action with this too, not just talk. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Smash @ Evo Retrospective Thread Posted: 17 Jul 2017 11:42 AM PDT Hey guys. Thanks so much for coming out to support Evo again this year. I hope you had a great time. I'm curious as to how you thought Evo went this year. What went right, what went wrong, and how can we improve for 2018. If you have any feedback, please post it here! Thanks!!

| Highest Placing Player of Each Char at EVO 2017 Posted: 17 Jul 2017 10:55 AM PDT Here is a list of the highest placing players of each character that I could find. I mostly just googled player names to find these, so there may be some inaccuracies. I also only counted a char if they took a game. Feel free to leave any corrections in the comments.

| What Melee characters do Smash 4 players main? Posted: 17 Jul 2017 06:09 PM PDT just read on twitter that Abadango plays puff (also that he tried to money match pewpewu while drunk last night, lol) I don't know any other Sm4sh players melee mains , I was thinking we could get a list going and maybe see some correlation. my guess is ZeRo plays fox [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is Salem the first person to double eliminate Zero twice? Posted: 17 Jul 2017 12:20 PM PDT He did it at Collision XIV and did it again at EVO 2017. Also on an unrelated note I'm so happy Salem won. It's a good day to be a Salem fan. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Why is there barely any promotion for the HyperX Melee x Street Fighter Invitational tomorrow? Posted: 17 Jul 2017 09:00 PM PDT Seems like a pretty big event but I've barely heard anything about it and the only player I've seen tweet about it is Hbox. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Did Wizzrobe announce his sponsor? Posted: 17 Jul 2017 11:01 AM PDT I remember there being some talk about Wizzrobe announcing his new sponsorship before EVO, but I don't think that happened. Is there any update on that? [link] [comments]  | ||
| A look at the strongest Melee Region Posted: 17 Jul 2017 04:34 PM PDT Now that the 2017 Summer SSBMRank is out, I thought it'd be a good idea to compare regions and see how the regions stack up against each other. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yHb0fvUz6wrKM8KuhAW_qXusL7_AjrHByb-yt95CKeQ/edit?usp=sharing Here is a visual breakdown of the regions included if anyone's interested. I tried to include as many regions as I could find data for, just to have a more complete figure. For the players that have more than 1 region, I decided to go with whatever region they live in. So Dizzkidboogie is in NorCal and Slox is in New England. What do you mean Slox is New England? Connecticut is both Tri-State AND New England! I decided to use the regions as defined by The Big House. At THB5 Crew battles Tri-State was NY, NJ, and half of PA, New England got CT, and the western half of PA was Midwest (Abate from PA played for Midwest). I took the players for each crew from that region's Power Rank, so for the SoCal crew, I just picked their top 10 players. For the regions that were made up of multiple states I first took the players that appeared on the SSBM Rank, and then picked players from all of their PRs. I'll admit, this selection was a little subjective, seeing as how I don't know everyone's region I picked the names that I thought had "National Recognition" from the Majors they attended (so if your region isn't exactly represented don't hate me, I'll just change it). I also included the rank of 102 for any unranked players in 2016 to find the average. There was already a 101st player, so I just went to the next number. I used 51 for 2017 seeing as how it was only a half rank. For both the 2016 and 2017 ranking SoCal had the most players ranked, followed closely by NorCal and Europe. I think there is a massive gap between the top 4 and everyone else. Florida, SoCal, NorCal, and Europe are clearly the strongest. In a 5v5 Crew battle, I think Florida would walk away with the win, but if extended to a 10v10 SoCal would be the strongest region. What are your thoughts/reactions? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 17 Jul 2017 11:18 AM PDT Toon Link's meta has hugely stagnated. There are players like Ri-Ma, Sigma, Zan, 3xA, etc. that have picked up where Hyuga left off, but no one has come close to matching his results at a national level. Toon Link is still agreed to be within the high/high mid tier level. On the official tier list, he is above Falcon, Peach, Bowser, DK, Greninja, Luigi, Olimar, etc. On the PGRv3 list, he is above Bowser, Mega Man, Villager, Luigi, Olimar, etc. Of course tier lists are based on the individual panelists, as well as theory of the character tools, not just results. But can anyone expect Toon Link to maintain a presence in the meta, or is he just dropping on a linear path? Thoughts? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Reddit Smash 4 Player Rankings for the month of June 15th-July 15th Posted: 17 Jul 2017 04:28 PM PDT This is gonna be our first time trying this out, but hopefully it can be a running series. The goal is to try and make our own "what if" version of a monthly power ranking, going off the yearly work the Panda Global Team puts together This, as a community can hopefully serve as just a supportive, alternative and weighted series (similar to Onion Rankings but weighted different and not as detailed) to compliment the work they do, and hopefully get players on the way some attention or community support And I want to thank /u/mu_II for helping me work on this Time Frame: June 15th- July 15th, 2017Any tournies that fell within this time frame may be counted. So everything from CEO 2017 to EVO 2017. Weeklies can be listed but should not be used to argue placement, only tourneys that would be PGR qualified Tournaments Used: (let me know if i missed any PGR qualified tournies) CEO 2017. Top 24 Bracket and Wiki Umebura 27 Top 96 Bracket and Wiki Midwest Mayhem 9: Top 64 Bracket and Wiki ARMS Saga: Top 24 Bracket and Wiki EVO 2017 Top 48 Bracket and Wiki How to vote:
Example of what a weekly post from me looks like, using a hypothetical July 15th-August 15th topicZeRo DiddyKong: PGR- 1st. Reddit Ranking- 1st (+/-0). Voting would come under his name I do this from the 15ths to be as inclusive of tourney timing, as well as not to overlap with our Reddit Character tier list, which tends to be at the start and end of months. This can also help us keep track of secondary play This is all hypothetical, so while weeklies/non-PGR tournies will not count towards ranking, they can be posted to show if one player struggles in a particular MU, if someone finally takes a momentous set off or if a specific secondarys meta is improving The goal is not to be overly critical, more to help players rise. Helps to get players sponsored and make hidden bosses more visible. Even Kappa, for all its shit, gets players sponsored Area 51-Each month, i will create a space for discussing the current Area 51 players (5 unordered best outside of top 50), as well as a discussion spot for anyone who may have fallen out of PGR that week or anyone who should make it on there next month. We will try to vote which 5 players should make next months hypothetical Area 51 -This month, we will vote on 5 potential players who deserve to be in next months Area 51, along with the 5 current area 51. Anyone who drops off PGR next month will automatically be added to area 51 with priority on the 5 player list (ill explain more below as needed) Do not use downvote button to vote on characters. Vote on them in the particular subtopic they are assigned Monthly running TTS Results system can be found here, but this is totally optional and you do not have to fill out every player or even consult this Remember, this is all hypothetical, just for fun, and meant to be constructive. Lets kick off our first ever topic! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 17 Jul 2017 09:39 PM PDT It was indeed because of the TV Broadcast deal including Disney XD , ESPN U and Nintendo. Its not speculation anymore, he straight up confirmed it 4 days ago in a comment that not many seemed to have realize came from him. Now that we got the speculation label out of the picture, what do you guys really think of this? [link] [comments]  |
