I bet if Nintendo set their eshop prices to the 20% off prices that Amazon and Best Buy Gamers club has, they would make more money per sale than they would per physical copies after you account for manufacture, shipping and wholesale prices for retailers to make profit.

I wish I purchased Maro Kart digitally, but $12 is a little steep of a "convenience" charge.

Physical sales at brick and mortar stores still make for a sizeable chunk of overall sales and making digital purchases cheaper than undiscounted physical ones is a good way to piss off the very industry you rely on to sell your products.

My Nintendo's discounts represent a strategy to drive digital sales without burning bridges with GameStop et al, but frankly most of the discounts there have been underwhelming.

Why do competitive Smash players want busted GC controllers?

It's important for backwards dashes. Here's a technical explanation. Suffice to say, backwards dashes have a tight input window. If, on the first frame of pushing backward, the game registers a half press, you will get stuck in the turn animation for 5-9 frames (depending on character) before you can start your backward dash.

Forward dashes have more leniency, and Magus’ smash turn fix code merely puts the same leniency into backwards dashes.

Those are real outside of that one meme?

In this context I'm talking about the GC left stick being half-pressed backwards relative to the character it controls, not the N64 A button being held.

Sounds like the broken controllers are just "experts" capitalizing on an exploit to give them an advantage over normies, however small.

If you need a very specific controller to play the game, you are basically cheating. This is no different than using a turbo button to win a mashing contest. These controllers are allowed in tournament play?

How do you come to that conclusion? Everyone at these events is an expert. These guys are trying not to stand in one place for 5-9 frames in an environment where they could very well be punished for it. With the wrong controller even the best melee player can't consistently perform a proper backdash, and joes like myself would struggle to do it with the best controller.

Rules vary from tourney to tourney but these controllers are basically necessary for certain events. Most people in this forum only became aware of this foible with backwards dashes due to news that a well-known Melee player couldn't find a good controller for an upcoming event and had to cancel.

As to whether it's cheating or not, that's more or less up to the community to decide. In my opinion it's the code that's busted and hardware or software fixes should be employed at events. Inconsistent input issues don't make for a better game.

Yeah, you need four people on the same side of the contentious cake/ice cream debate. You'll be matched against another lobby of four, so you'll probably see the more dedicated players.

I can't imagine Nintendo locking better equipment behind salmon run. Unique equipment definitely, but straight up better stuff doesn't really fit their design philosophy. Plus in splatoon 2 you can put any ability on any gear eventually so that equipment wouldn't stay the best

Drink tickets, which will make getting a desired ability combo much, much easier, are tied to Salmon Run and Octo Canyon. I'm not of the opinion that slotting the exact abilities you want on gear is a major power boost, but inasmuch as this game has a power curve Salmon Run is gonna be key to climbing it.

Similarly, I doubt you need to be connected to the voice chat app 100% of the time either. If you're taking 30 seconds to check facebook or text someone back, your world will not end that you didn't hear the 12 year old in the voice chat say gently caress or whatever.

You can't voice chat with random squdkids, if you've got rude preteens in your voice lobby it's because you specifically invited them.

I have the feeling you'll regret this toxx, TMS seems like it has a great chance of coming to WiiU. Anything that came out in the last year and a half of the WiiU like Pokken and TMS was likely ignored; it'd be smart to plug in those lesser known games into the eshop of their new bestseller to bridge the gaps.

I hope you're right, I assure you the only future in which I regret that toxx is the one where I don't get banned for it.
