If anyone pops off because they won due to wobbling it's just sad. It doesnt show any mastery over the game or sportsmanship when you get one grab per stock and its over without the other guy even being able to do anything about it. It would be like if one team in basketball was allowed to dribble outside the lines, or a team in baseball wasnt allowed to have anything pitched against them except straights right over the middle of the plate. You could probably still win under those conditions but it just defeats the purpose of playing.

[@Hibernial]

That fact that it was banned later rather than sooner is I think a good thing. Tournaments left it to be tested in the competitive scene, and it never got absurdly out of hand where allowed. Contentious sure, but waiting to ban it was the right thing (even if that wait was very long). Sure, it could have been sooner according to some people’s preference. But the fact that IC’s have never been at the very top in placing a major victory probably just prolonged the tolerance process for wobbling up to this point. The IC’s still grew in other areas as their meta progressed, and in a way carried the long technical processes of implementing the rest of IC’s kit into a actual matches via that crutch. Honestly to me that’s what wobbling has been for the IC’s specifically; a crutch for the rest of their toolkit to properly be explored and developed. I think it’s served a decent purpose.

[@charliechuckles6494]

Hi newfriend

[@cutewhiteboy]

I remember going to my first Melee tournament at the University of Rochester. I wasn't really a great player, but I had some pretty high hopes that I at least might be able to make it a round or two in before getting dumpstered by the veterans since I'd played pretty casually with friends before. The first round, my opponent picked Ice Climbers and wobbled every stock he could. Once the set was over, he looked me in the eyes, smiled, and said "Good games." I haven't attended a Melee event since.

[@ActualVital]

cute white boy Did you punch him in the face? I would’ve.

[@anomonomity]

this exact thing happened to my second local ever, I got four stocked game two even though game one it was last stock to last stock. All four stocks wobbled, I played a LITTLE lazier and got wobbled all four stocks and tilted because I lost the first two to easy shield grabs (which was my fault but the punish is just fucking ridiculously brutal) then I sighed and the wobbler just fucking laughed. never went to a local there again because the ex marth player who turned into a wobbler started magically winning locals more often

[@cutewhiteboy]

@@ActualVital Unfortunately not, but it was probably for the best. He was very small and skinny, so he would've been seriously hurt in all likelihood.

[@Hibernial]

That sucks man. It’s a crutch of a technique that at best can only help to encourage the player’s development of the rest of an arsenal that IC’s have at their disposal. At that point, I don’t see the move having much more significance in the meta of the game if it can’t even necessarily help IC players net wins at the top tournament level. I do think it was right to keep it in and test it’s place in the game overtime, in order to not set any ban happy precedent. But since the character has developed to a fairly competent point in being able to understand their full potential, I don’t think the IC’s necessarily need that move anymore to carry them if it’s no longer significantly contributing to their meta-game.

Or two characters which are such a cut above the rest, that the competitive community uses them heavily and any other character which can compete either uses gimmicks or has some real flaws. Melee has always been a hodgepodge of a fighting game. A "beautiful mistake" as one person put it. Wobbling may be detrimental to competitive health because it encourages campy behavior and isn't fun, but the same could then be said for puff. Glitches, bugs, and gimmicks have always been a big part of melee. Because of that I'm hesitant about the banning of a glitch that makes a certain character playable.

[@StarTard8]

Please read the entire wall of text, I promise you it will be worth your while. All the arguments I see in support of Wobbling boil down to ICs being mediocre even with it. That isn’t the point. The point is is that Wobbling doesn’t make the character too good, it makes the game uncompetitive, un-fun, and overcentralizing. It’s a similar situation as Smogon’s Clauses for Pokemon Singles play: things like Evasion, OHKOs and Endless Battling aren’t allowed because they make the game un-fun and stale. Let’s take the Pokemon Walrein for example (which is funny because ICs and Walrein are both icy characters). Walrein sucks, but it can learn Sheer Cold. If Sheer Cold hits you, it instantly KOs you no questions asked. No rock-paper-scissors prediction needed, no move knowledge needed, no type advantage needed, you just faint instantly should the move land. Does Sheer Cold make Walrein good? No. The move itself is good, but not the Pokemon in general. Because Pokemon that can learn OHKOs are often terrible on their own, having things like Sheer Cold in competition would make the game less about dismantling an opponent’s team and more about stopping yourself from getting Sheer Cold’ed. And because OHKOs like Sheer Cold require no prediction or skill or game knowledge to use in addition to them being boring and uninteresting, they are banned. Wobbling is the same. ICs are fun and interesting to watch, but are mediocre. Wobbling is like Sheer Cold: it takes little prediction or setup to use, takes little mechanical skill and knowledge to use, and it isn’t fun or interesting to watch. It stales the metagame by overcentralizing methods not to beat the Ice Climbers as a character, but to avoid getting grabbed and Wobbled. The ICs aren’t great, but Wobbling is degenerate because it shifts Melee from a challenge of beating your opponent and his or her character and playstyle to literally a game of cat and mouse (if you get caught, or rather grabbed, you die). Watching people play Melee is fun, but watching someone trying constantly to not get grabbed isn’t. It’s boring, agonizing, and, when the inevitable Wobble happens, downright unpleasent. Just like the banning of Sheer Cold and the OHKO moves, banning Wobbling isn’t about making a character worse. It’s about improving players’ experience of the game and making Melee more competitive. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching ICs at the top of their game. But when people like Nintnedude come around and brag about beating top players by Wobbling them for two straight sets, it takes the fun and competition out of a game that in every right can and should be a fun and compeitive experience.

[@thatdankguy5140]

You make a good point, I agree.

[@vicio19995]

I dont rly agree with your point , Like with one hit ko moves on pokemon , when you see a character with a move like that you have to be prepare to deal with it , with evasion moves you should have a move that dont miss or gives you accuracy, the ice climbers are a especial carácter , they are 2 characters in 1 and from that peculiarity they can chain grab you, banning the moves of a character is just detrimental , you have to play vs the character and them have to play against your character Edit auto correct on other language

[@StarTard8]

Vicmo That’s not fair to say. And if people did that, it would stale the metagame. I explained why that very situation is detrimental to a game’s competitive environment; try rereading the ENTIRE comment.

[@StarTard8]

Also, you can’t prepare for OHKO moves, just like you really can’t prepare for Wobbling. As I said, not getting grabbed is far easier said than done. Furthermore, no one should be forced to use moves that are objectively terrible like Swift and Aerial Ace, just as people should never be forced into games where if they get grabbed they instantly die. Evasion is an objectively dumb mechanic for competition, just as Wobbling is bad for competiive Melee. The point is is that one should never, ever be forced to play sub-optimally to beat a certain tactic or mechanic. It’s not fun, exciting, or remotely interesting to watch and even less so to experience. Imagine if, to beat someone in a fight, the only way to do so would be to blind yourself because looking at your opponent would instantly kill you. Or if someone made you have to write an essay with your non-dominant hand and if you tried otherwise the pen would electrocute you. It’s not fair or fun for anybody, and nobody in their right mind would agree willingly to such things.

Uhaunted purpose tbh the problem is that there is so much more to learn with ICs but people opt to only exercise one tactic that isnt truly a product of outplay in every scenario (sometimes it is out play but either when it is or isnt out play it leads to a conversion that the opponent cant do anything about). I dont think it should be banned but I hope with it people lab the character more and see that there is still potential with ICs. There is so much endless possibility with the character ... all it takes is a vision, a bit of labbing and faith that you as the one repping the character can fulfill your own vision and showcase it consistently to show the viability of your idea. Wobblez had so many ideas that he managed to show people while he played that I'm suprised no one piggy backed off of his foundation he left and created any more. When there is so much more to learn. Wobbling allowed others to be content with not learning more with the character for some reason.

Now we apply the same reasoning to wobbles, if wobbles copied someone else, then he didn't invent it.

Because without it, Ices can’t combo floaty characters.

[@gravity_cow]

@Gaston Anny wobbling works on any character, I think they were saying that wobbling is Ice Climber's only combo against floaties like Jigglypuff

[@steelwall4396]

@Gaston Anny It was the slippery slope fallacy. If we ban wobbling do we ban wave dashing? Infinite ledge stalls? Shine? All things that are abused for competitive advantages With that being said. Love Wobbles, fuck wobbling

[@AllStarJD]

It was banned way back when. Then was legalized at Evo 2012 or 13 and has sense been a plague.

[@jamierowanverney]

but real talk though, its great that wobbling's getting banned for the community, especially for low level/locals. It's boring to watch, 0 risk/high reward all that shit, but also it will mean that the IC's players that don't wobble and want to use them in more creative ways will hopefully have more light on them and will open up new ideas for IC's

[@414every1]

LMAO that Mikehaze tweet about Hugo in the beginning

[@Deamons64]

Wobbling just makes the game unfun. It literally just says “oh, you made a single mistake? Well, you don’t get to play the game anymore. I win.” Key words being “you don’t get to play anymore”. Someone on this videos comments made a great comparison of wobbling and OHKO moves in Pokémon. Icy isn’t a great fighter, but neither are a ton of the Pokémon who know moves like sheer cold, or guillotine. The ability to wobble is the ONLY thing that’s makes anyone play icy, in a competitive environment, which is a shame, since they can be fun as hell. Being proud of literally admitting you’re too unskilled to beat your opponent in a legitimate match by wobbling them, is fucking pathetic, plain and simple.

[@randyrandalman8234]

it's no different than getting stuck in any other combo. that single mistake usually gets you setup to die when you play against people good enough to take advantage of your mistakes

[@Deamons64]

Randy Randalman except that you can escape a combo, a combo has an end, and you’re not almost garunteed to die getting caught in a combo at 0% damage. Wobbling is an endless, inescapable combo, barring a mistake on the performers part, or them feeling “merciful.” Combos make a game interesting and fun, wobbling is literally killing someone’s fun because you can, and you feel that you have to win, regardless of the opponent. It’s like going to a casual game of yugioh with some friends and bringing a deck with all 3 god cards and exodia while everyone else is using a normal deck. It just ruins it for everyone else and strokes your ego.

[@randyrandalman8234]

@@Deamons64 You can escape wobble - as shown in multiple examples in the video. Also I don't buy that this strat is so OP like god cards in yugioh. If that were the case, all the top tournament finishes would be IC. It also works on only some characters. Yes it's annoying and looks cheap, but the end result is the same.

[@Deamons64]

Randy Randalman it doesn’t look cheap, it is cheap. And if it was possible to escape from wobbling even remotely consistently, I wouldn’t be complaining. Can you escape, yes, the odds of your escape working and not being immediately punished by getting put literally right back in the wobble, fucking slim. I wouldn’t give a shit about it if it was 1: fair, 2:fun to do/fight against (and it’s neither) or 3: part of the game in a sense outside of high level competitive play, as in would appear in normal strategy guides. Wobbling is NONE of those things, and thus, is on my shit list. And having gone up against basically an entire fucking roster of wobble players during my attempt to get into melee, NOTHING will make me respect wobblers, or like ANYONE who does it consistently.

tasmith34 That's because no good player wants to play them. If armada or mango or whatever started playing them, they'd be winning all the time. Just like how puff was considered a bad character until hbox played her.

[@myb8955]

@@a2rhombus2 Puff wasn't considered bad well before Hbox started getting really good with her. Mang0 was dominating with Puff before that, and before Mang0 there was King. Puff has always been solid, the only reason IC's are considered to be mediocre is because IC's players rely on one gimmick and it's a gimmick that most of the top players can circumvent by exploiting how awful most IC's players are at fighting space animals or peach when they can't just wobble them.

[@pyre78]

I honestly don't even understand how something like this was allowed at all, dude. Like, you're put into a situation where one guy is basically just going to get a stock off of the other guy as soon as he grabs him, and from what I've been seeing here there isn't much the other person can do unless the wobbler lets them go. The dude getting wobbled doesn't have fun, it isn't interesting for the crowd to watch, and it doesn't even seem like the wobbler is having fun. Legit a cheese tactic where no one wins in the end.
