i cant believe melee’s meta has gotten to a point where it relies on using broken controllers to pull off super unintended moves and they still insist that what they’re doing isn’t exploiting glitches and they expect to be taken seriously
like, you are not playing super smash brothers melee at this point. the game you are playing is made out of melee’s mangled corpse. you have gone beyond playing “not the way the devs intended” to “not the way the HARDWARE MANUFACTURERS intended”
you’re relying on hardware that is malfunctioning to do these things and wondering why nintendo doesn’t support you or your community
it’s insane
gladly!
so, one in fifty gamecube controllers have a factory defect that results in the analog stick being a little bit looser, and that looseness in the analog stick allows for more precise analog stick inputs without the stick’s “snap back” interfering
there are melee tricks that require broken controllers like this, so these controllers are highly desirable in the melee community
these broken controllers allow for inputs that would otherwise only be possible with a digital controller like a hitbox
one smash player famously quit a tournament because he lost his broken controller and couldn’t perform the glitches he wanted to in order to win
imagine if you entered a tournament for any other fighting game and said “I REFUSE to play unless you let me use my hitbox”
you’d be thrown out, because your hitbox would be considered an unfair advantage over other players
but fuck it, it’s melee, and melee is all about cheating, and “if i can’t cheat the way i wanna cheat I’M GOING HOME”
pat from Super Best Friends put it best:
“If you have to rely on your equipment being non-standard to everybody else’s in a way that gives you an advantage, that is cheating.”
Indeed he did put it best. Here’s his 20 minute rant about it the week it happened.
meele players jump through so many hoops to justify cheating
Eleanor Roosevelt and Lyudmila Pavlichenko. Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a Soviet sniper credited with 309 kills, she is regarded as the most successful female sniper in history. She visited with President Franklin
Roosevelt, becoming the first Soviet citizen to be welcomed at the White
House. Afterward, Eleanor Roosevelt asked Lyudmila to
accompany her on a tour of the country and tell Americans of her
experiences as a woman in combat. Pavlichenko was only 25, but she had
been wounded four times in battle. ↳more х,х,х | gifs from Battle for Sevastopol 2015 trailer.
btw what I loved about valkyrie’s plot in Ragnarok is that it was such a male plot usually? she rolls up drunk, shoots up a bunch of people, owns thor, sells him, then we realise she is drowning her sorrows and is actually a fallen hero, and she then gets a redemption ark???? is that not every male outlaw with a heart of gold???
I get that you're young, but queer isn't a slur and don't reblog my damn posts with "q slur", please. My identity is not a slur. Thinking queer is a slur is ahistoric bullshit.
Lmfao what the fuck are you on?? Q*eer was originally used to refer to trans and sga people BY CISHETS to refer to us as abnormal and wrong. It’s a fucking slur. If you choose to use a slur as your only personal identifier then yes, your identity is a God damn slur. This is so disrespectful to every lgbt person with trauma surrounding that word, and you’re the one who’s being ahistorical. Asshole.
I’m on education that came from somewhere other than tumblr, my dude.
We’ve been calling ourselves queer since before WWII. It was not originally used “by cishets”. It was used by us. To describe us. Interchangeably with gay, which was used by all genders.
Ten years before you were born, Queer Nation was fighting for rights you now enjoy, marching in the streets. Queer Nation was founded by members of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), an organization for AIDS advocacy, because we were literally dying in the streets. Which is where die-ins came from, by the way - during the AIDS crisis when hospitals wouldn’t touch us with a ten foot pole, people protested by literally dying in a place inconvenient for the powers that be.
Whoever “taught” you that queer is a slur and always has been lied to you.
We’re still here, we’re still queer, go educate yourself.
If you can’t give me sources on q*eer being used by lgbt people BEFORE they reclaimed it from cishets using it as a slur i really don’t care what you have to say
superwholockian: WE KNOW HOW TO KILL AND HIDE A BODY
me: throws you into a locker
Superwholockian: *Burns down the locker* *Climbs out of fire with no scratches* *Puts on fez* * Puts on scarf* *eyes flicker black* You shouldn’t of done that.
What is this
embarrassment incarnate
I feel like I’ve uncovered a relic of times long past.
anyone gonna point out that if they burn down the locker while theyre still in it, theyre gonna die?
most tumblr jokes are utterly embarassing to say in public but today i said to someone “bold of you to assume i have dignity” and i won’t lie it was the most powerful I’ve felt in years
