Making pro players play Smash 4 in 2024

[@timmyb.3426]

The Smash community hates Sonic so much that they practically BEGGED to see Smash 4 Bayo in finals. Never would have thought I would have seen that.

[@SALTYTOAD00]

They say that, but we all know the community would still be complaining if Bayonetta wasn't banned in the tournament. You just can't please some people.

[@Nick867]

Wouldn't have happened if Bayo was actually unbanned like she should've been. Like come on it's the last Smash 4 tournament and we take out what the game is known for

[@SALTYTOAD00]

​@@Nick867 Hey, Hungrybox left the decision up to the community, so blame them.

[@Nick867]

@@SALTYTOAD00 I personally think a poll was unnecessary, but I do blame the community dw

[@Watburnt]

@@SALTYTOAD00Its almost like this game is terrible competitively or something

[@SonicTheCutehog]

This is the reason why Ultimate made it that you cannot indefinitely hold chargeable moves

[@SALTYTOAD00]

Yeah, that feature of Sm4sh was also why Cloud was busted. Once he got LIMIT, he could just hold onto it until he lost a stock.

[@sevensvn5391]

I prefer infinite holding.

[@danknados]

@@sevensvn5391 why? so people can infinitely stall the game like in EVO 2018?

[@saberfroste8376]

8:59 Man. This is like a poetic-tragic moment for Smash 4.

[@LS-td4yf]

Now we need a brawl tournament and see if sonix can win that

[@WesleyFiles]

He played in Super Smash Con 2023's Brawl bracket, didn't do well. 1-2 to get eliminated.

[@IllegalPizza777]

Smash 4 really elevated the hype for new character reveals

[@Andycandyman24]

TRUE!

[@matthiashopkins7502]

maybe leo was onto something saying sonic top 2 in smash 4…

[@amari648]

They didn’t listen at all 😂

[@gian8389]

imagine if there's another univerese where bayo was banned from smash 4 evo and we had a sonic ditto grands final 8:58

[@WesleyFiles]

There were too many other contenders at the time, and Sonic was not considered top tier. Komorikiri was the highest placing Sonic player in attendance, sharing 17th place with players like Salem and VoiD.

[@gian8389]

@@WesleyFiles interesting thanks for the info, back then I was still a casual player so in didn't really knew about the storm of smash 4 bayo in the competitive community.

I'm confused what are you referring to?

[@osprey_06]

unironically seeing at this game again after playing ultimate for so long feels like im looking into an alternate mirror dimension with a bizarro ultimate, it feels uncanny to me even though i played this one lots as well

[@hueycotton]

Idc what anyone says about this game, I had a phenomenal time competing in it and I loved all the cheese to go along with it. And at least there was SOME movement tech. As a Bidou player, I had a field day learning everything. RIP Sm4sh 😭 I’ll always love you

Yeah we don't need mr mold eater ice noncer in a tournament ever again, even if it's a game as bad as tr4sh

[@Whalordius]

Watching this was more fun than anything of ult since 2022

[@HispanicatthediscoMTG]

Despite sm4sh being awful, I agree

[@smashdriven1640]

That was so funny when they were both charging spin dash and he was getting the Bayo flashbacks.

[@Matpit18]

I mean, at least this was an online event and there weren’t people who paid to be here, but that’s still crazy that Sonix and Wrath pulled another EVO Grand Finals in this tournament! 😆

[@sevensvn5391]

If anyone has any recommendations for slower and more defensive fighting games to fill the Smash 4 shaped void in my heart than Ultimate could never hope to fill, please comment your suggestions. The lessened end lag on a lot of moves, as well as grab nerfs, and shield nerfs(I think) really make Ultimate unenjoyable for me. I prefer moves to be punishable upon hitting shield.

[@creatful_chaos]

play Brawl

[@SSJPENGUIN]

‘Brawl+’ would probably be right up your street!!! Floaty + moves have real wind-up and landing animations etc but there's still plenty of combos too!!!

Thank God Mii Fighters were banned in online for this game. If not, the top 8 would mostly consist of small Mii Brawler.

[@heartnet40]

Tiny Mii Brawler was so broken. Way more than even Bayo, and the funny thing is, so few people are ever gonna know it because Mii sizes have been banned for ages.

[@SALTYTOAD00]

​@@heartnet40 Also, because when people think of broken Sm4sh characters, their minds instantly jump to Cloud and Bayonetta.

[@chignonn]

Some of the gameplay may not look as polished as Peak Sm4sh like in 2016, but you can tell that the overall level of players are just higher than what it used to be because of 5 years of Ultimate.

[@milos1967]

Smash 4 is so fucking funny istg

[@elmacho1336]

The one problem i have with Hungrybox's community is how they treat sonix just because of his character pick. No matter what sonix does, people will always give him unnecessary hate and cruelty and they will diminish him and his wins and say "oh you're so carried you're so bad without sonic" when he's literally one of the hardest working, most genuine guys in the community. Sonix has grinded smash for so long to get where he is today, but all people will do is whine about how he plays even though he's actually really technical and hype. Most of the hate is because of sonic as a character which people project onto the player resulting in needlessly toxic comments and messages about this guy who has done nothing wrong. If you can be anything, be kinder, be respectful, be better. Sonix doesnt deserve all the grief he's given. We love you Sonix, congrats on your win!

[@cadeyoung4406]

He’s not bad but when I can take a full fucking nap during his games and miss nothing, it’s hard not dislike him. That being said, the hate should not extend outside of the game to the person.

[@legomyeggo_7244]

You’re right. But then again, when Hbox, wrath, and the entire stream want them to do bayo dittos because it’s a final tribute to Sm4sh, and he said “bro what”, it’s super underwhelming.
