[@nyaxellemonte4230]

@@shiinozaki Sonic has two possible kill throws iirc, both of which were used in the last game they played in 0.9 launch rate. Most top players have charts and memorize kill percentages of their throws. (At least for meta relevant characters like Bayo.) Factoring in rage, staling, and different blastzones. It's easy to see him pummeling to the exact percentage where his throw can win him the game, only to have it not kill at all, twice. Is not reasonable at that point to suspect something may be off about the launch rate?

[@shiinozaki]

Nyax Ellemonte No, that’s reasonable. The way he acted after losing EVEN AFTER replaying the set makes me think that he knew the entire time and used it as a failsafe. If he really did expect something wrong, he would ask to stop the match. He obviously knew and was upset that it didn’t work in the end.

FuazzyMoto many techniques in melee require precise inputs to execute, however, some controllers are better than others for certain techniques due to small defects or wear. UCF stands for universal controller fix and makes all controllers function the same. UCF wasnt on during the set for whatever reason, which was especially detrimental to leffen, because fox requires far more precise inputs than icies, which was why the set was replayed.

I did read the description, and it's still ridiculous. They could easily have just not allowed the 1% of controllers that are better than the rest, or just unbanned controller modding so anyone could have one. Hacking the game to fix it was the worst possible choice, because now the game's integrity is in the garbage (where it belongs). Plus, Melee idiots went around spreading bullshit about Brawl needing hacks to be competitive, which was completely false (no major Brawl tournament ran non-cosmetic hacks), but still hurt the game's image. And now, after years of giving Brawl players shit for something they didn't even do, Melee players are actually using gameplay hacks? They deserved to be mocked for that.

[@RunicSSB]

If that's true, then that means any controller mod that isn't externally visible would fly under the radar, in which case they should just make it legal (like every single other fighting game) so anyone can have a "good" controller. And I'm not talking about PM, everyone knew those were separate games. Even before PM, Melee players were insisting that Brawl tournaments were using gameplay hacks. They were never specific about what hacks Brawl players were supposedly using (because that would require basic knowledge of the thing they spent their entire lives deriding), though they were probably referring to anti-tripping hacks. Tripping was the dumbest thing, but it was almost never consequential. There's almost no combos in Brawl, you're invulnerable while tripping and while recovering from a trip, and you recover from it pretty quickly, so you couldn't really get any significant damage or land a KO just from a trip. Because of that, we just dealt with it, but Melee players still insisted that it was literally impossible to play without the hacks.

To be honest, Bayo ruined Smash 4. I lost all interest in watching it as a viewer when she became so prevalent. Salem using Bayo was the last time I watched and that is only because Salem is such a respectful dude. But man, she's such a grossly overpowered character it is not even funny. I don't understand why the devs had such a hard on for her to not rebalance her properly :| What I don't understand even more is all the people defending her as just being a good character. Bayo is not just a good character, she is just a few steps below being Brawl Meta Knight tier. More and more of Smash 4 became "how well can you do against Bayo", which is pretty much what happened to Brawl with Meta Knight and why many tournies opted to ban him. It is perfectly understandable for people to boo players that use a character that a large majority of the community wanted to see rebalanced or outright banned.

The reason for hand shake rejection is not bayo but his attitude, lack of respect.

[@GamerGuy249]

Can someone explain to me why playing with .9 knockback and not 1 is a massive deal? I'm not saying it isn't, but to me it seems relatively minor, and it impacted both players. Is it because it would change kill percents and mess up some combos because of spacing? Is the .9 major enough to impact that? I'm not trying to start shit, I'm genuinely curious.

[@BrickNGames]

It changes kills to be 10% later. It was shown that there were times in the Komo vs CaptZack set and the ZeRo vs Dabuz set where moves didn't kill when they should have with 1.0x knockback.

[@kestrel7493]

Also, some combos are far easier to execute and follow up on since the opponent is always 10% closer to you.

[@Vargas3499]

I hate Bayo, but hating on a player because they want to use the strongest character to win is just dumb. Zack and Lima afk stalling wasn’t cool but neither was the crowd treating them like shit. Thing is that those two gotta understand that when you play the best characters, you’re a villain by default, don’t matter how nice you are, how good of a person you are, or how godlike your game is; people see a tierwhore who only cares about winning. I say embrace it, the community loves a good “bad guy” like Leffen or FChamp.

Good video. But little nitpick. You played the 52 minutes 64 game for way too long, I kept skipping ahead and it was still going

[@fidelsantoyo841]

Thats the point

[@vDREEGONv]

evo grandfinals was necessary, it showed how toxic our community is, and why we still got much to fix if we want to have a good community in ultimate. It also showed that we still need to learn how to beat bayo, since so many top players just lost at the hands of lima and zack. Nario was there, he could have taken it easy if it was the bayo we are used to, but zack and lima took bayo to another level, so now we just need to learn how to counter that level of bayo. With the community as toxic as it is, and people just giving up left and right on the game, I doubt we will improve before ultimate tho, if even in ultimate lol

[@lamelukas]

Do you think a community will change in that short amount of time? No. Bayo was released TWO YEARS ago and she's been doing the same stuff since the beginning, what Zack and Ligma did was the same stuff Bayo had at her launch. She's one of the major reasons people are giving up, because this character is so busted. So many of these players had interesting picks before Bayo, now all it is Bayo to win, it's boring as hell and we can only hope she's nerfed in Ultimate.

[@vDREEGONv]

@@lamelukasThat's the mindset that is ruining the community. SHE IS BUSTED AF, like SERIOUSLY BUSTED......but you can still technically beat her. The problem here is lazyness, and the lack of people who don't just give up. If you really care about something, you will never give up no matter how hard it is. Humans are just getting more lazy, and bayo is proof of this.

[@lamelukas]

@@vDREEGONv So you're saying that even top players are having that mindset too? ZeRo said to adapt and overcome when she first came out but you can't, and I'm sure he's changing his mind on that statement. It's at a point where you either play Bayo or you don't. I'm sorry if you still think that she has any losing matchups but her kit is too strong. If it wasn't then she wouldn't have needed a nerf and wouldn't have been so commonly used in Evo. I don't remember if I said it before but it's not just about how strong she is but that fact that everyone is playing her which is taking away from a lot of people playing different, potentially more interesting characters. Instead of focusing on the rest of the massive roster we get stuck with this single character in the spotlight and nobody else has a chance, especially with Smash5 coming out.

[@vDREEGONv]

@@lamelukas You can technically beat her with any character and that is a 100% fact. If we had more people fighting all they got to overcome the "impossible", we would not have seen all these people drop out. These people dropped out because they got tired of bayo, tired, it's not there is no way to beat her, it's that it's too hard for them. I can tell you, I will never give up, no matter how broken bayo is, I won't quit a game just because of how difficult it is. As long as there is a chance, even if it's microscopic, I will fight for my dream, the problem is, most other people don't feel like that, so they give up cause they lose again and again. Sometimes it just takes forever to accomplish your goal, and that can be really frustrating. There is a way around bayo, we just need to find the most effective way to play against her. Some will say it's bayo, other people like me will just try to see which of her options you can punish, like ab kick, you can sdi down and back air that with falco before she can do anything. You can also technically down air spike her witch twist, I have done it many times, and she can't react. ZeRo gave up because he didn't have any power left to fight for, he was done, dried up, if he really had the mindset to go beyond yourself, you don't give up, it's not a option, the only option is to fight until you win if your mindset is to go beyond the impossible. Imma stick around until the game ends, and Imma fight hard to achieve my dreams, no matter bayo, diddy, rosa, people telling me how bad falco is. I believe in him, and I will do my best to use him go his absolute max potential ^_^
