He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
My spicy take: IC player is a baby, this is game 5 already in Top 8. If you know the match-up and the risks on it, then you know when you're dead. Jigglypuff dude did nothing wrong, except he should have done a Randy Orton pose after winning.

maybe I'm off but the booing read to me as a tongue in cheek response rather than outright jeering? almost definitely are people online taking the whole thing very seriously though

Speaking of the frosty kids, there was a pretty good IC main at the same tournament that had that crazy Snake match that somebody posted earlier.

Nice. IC looking solid in this game.

It's not just about profit. Even if you were just playing for fun and love of the game you wouldn't want to spend 5 minutes jumping around doing nothing. Maybe even more so in that case.

I wanna play Ice Climbers now. That grab/up-smash desync kill on Mewtwo was absolutely disgusting

Maybe Ice Climbers are just a garbage character that have been propped up by a dumb no-skill glitch that everyone was too much of a coward to ban until recently and now that it's gone no one should ever be playing ICs in competitive tournament play anyway and continuing to do so invites the actual good characters to camp you out/murder you for free mercilessly so stop complaining.

There was a strict time limit in place. That's the whole point of stalling. It's like kneeling out the clock.

I was clearly referring to the play clock. You can only kneel out the clock if your opponent wasted all their timeouts and there's only a tiny fraction of the game left (since again, the playclock makes it a small, finite time).

They "didn't think people thought Master Chief was the main character" and shoehorned in some soulless Spartan that you had to play as.

That's some MVCI "these characters are just functions" BS, and I'm pretty sure whoever said that didn't wholly believe it either.

Same could be said for Felix the Cat and Astroboy.

Nevermind the fact that Mario, Sonic and Megaman are already in the game.

I've seen it.

This is one of the many reasons why people are exasperated about Melee. I don't care either way, but I will admit that one of the most ridiculous things which derives most of the dislike for Melee is the fact that the game has an 8 round timer which still gets timeouts regularly. As Smash itself gets more and more integrated into the FGC, this sort of ridicule is only going to become more commonplace.

i can't see them putting in anyone who uses actual guns; snake only uses explosives and the way bayonetta uses guns is so absurd it's excusable, but i can't see nintendo saying "yes, you can put john masterchief halo/doom guy in our game so he can shoot mario in the face with a realistic shotgun"

They could have him use mostly explosives/Covenant weaponry to get around it.

I’m not huge on Halo but it would be pretty exciting to see him make it.

Put in Energy Sword Master Chief so that people can complain about another swordsman protag.
