I don't play melee, is z mapped to jump? Or what am I missing here🤔

[@super2thesam]

@@zandatsu_cooks Oh boy. I’m gonna give you the surface layer and someone else is gonna do the rest for you: People are frustrated about the state of control in melee to the point that people are making a lot of custom controllers, and some people are making… I guess… models/series/new types of controllers? One of them has a bunch of quality of life mods to it and is capable of remapping jump to the z button. From what I understand, Cody Schwab (the artist formerly known as IBDW) as well as a lot of other players are upset about people using certain types of controllers, saying that it is giving them an unfair advantage over players who are not. That’s pretty much all I’ve got for you.

[@sabotagefate69]

​@@super2thesam ya Cody says that shit as he used it to get to top 10 then calls it bs. Ibdw is pure filth and shouldn't be referenced in civil discussion. The controller issue is because of Hax. Melee as a pro game allowed the box he made because of his story and how much the community wanted him to be able to play the game that destroyed his hands. This led to any controller essentially being required to be allowed as the box makes many macro inputs and perfectly precise inputs with a simple button press. This led to our current state where players like Cody are good because his controller allows for completely absurd perfect inputs he could never do consistently. Couple this with his character having an insanely high skill ceiling past human limits and you have a broken fox running amok that's basically a cyborg playing. Some players have joined the controller wars and some haven't. Long story short, players like I be sucking dongs want to gatekeep their skill level attained with the controllers by saying they're op and broken. Which they are. But that point is to obfuscate not because they actually want them gone. There is also the side note of monetary investment to play a game competitively. I think it was something like less than 1 in 10 GameCube controllers were even considered usable for melee as snapback in the sticks can ruin many basic techniques and dead zones that made shield dropping facing one direction impossible. So integrity was compromised for longevity of gane life and reduced monetary investment (although on the top pro level it's still quite expensive for many players to maintain controllers).

[@nicklowe_]

If anyone doesn’t understand what’s going on here: Hungrybox baits amsa with the whiff rest and then turns to smile, intuiting amsa will let his guard down. Assuming his tactic works (this is hungrybox bread & butter), he attempts to sneak down under the stage to the other side of FD to surprise amsa with what we can infer would be a well-timed rollout. Unfortunately Hbox missed his pound-stall tech here, otherwise some next level melee.

He was pretty obviously just pissed he missed the read and wrote the stock off, regardless of what aMSa did.

[@Fierce0Deity0Link]

Puff was at 175% and missed a rest in front of Yoshi. Hbox was like "welp, I'm dead" and immediately turned around probably to talk to someone, and expecting to have their stock ended in the next second from a forward smash. Unbeknownst to them, aMSa choked and accidentally performed a single jab instead of a smash, but that was enough to push jigglypuff off-stage, and since Hbox wasn't looking at the screen he didn't realize he wasn't dead yet. He faced the screen again right as puff fell through the bottom blast zone. In the grand scheme of things this doesn't change much to the game since Hbox had already accepted their death for that stock, but it's hilarious nonetheless.
