nairo and samsora were the best American players and got cancelled for the diddling scandal
leo and sparg0 decided to be unlikeable kpopgays
now all that's left are japanese turbo sperg 16 year olds and american content creators
Yeah, the only current interesting Ultimate personalities are Marss (who just gave up to become a streamer), Dabuz (who jobs every GF and only plays slow characters), Void (who plays other games) and Light (who doesn't win anymore). Acola seems like a nice kid but he's a generic boring polite Japanese fella, sparg0 is a boring choking kpop sperg, and everyone else in top 10-15 is so boring that they don't deserve mention.
It's crazy to me that Sonic players do all this shit for a game that doesn't even have good prizes. I guess I'd get it if we had Capcom Cup million dollar prizes, but they're just making sure no one has fun in a party game for no reason.
This game will just never be a real esport as long as steve and sonic are here. I can't think of anything that drains the hype more than seeing one of these campy morons. The crowd is fricking EMPTY. Nobody fricking cares, nobody wants to watch this shit.
All the top players dropped out because they'd rather go to LMMM and Port Priority soon.
Game is dead. None of the top players that put on a good show even bother anymore.

Zero. Hackurai washed his hands of the game and has no interest in trying to fix this mess he made.
Big House is just a bad showing for Ultimate. A lot of top players dropped out because A) This tournament was the weekend between two other big weekend tournaments and B) The Big House gets a bad rep with the scene outside of Melee because the other games featured get treated poorly by the TOs. These two reasons combined caused a lot of players to drop out of the event.
Ultimate is still in a downhill state. The two top players shaping up are from Japan (Acola and Miya) and they play Steve and Game n' Watch. Mkleo continues to deflate in his placements, Spargo is cracking under pressure. Meanwhile, the rest of NA is jobbing, and no one is biting the bullet to play Steve. Minecraft guy has shaped up to be a top tier with the likeability of Melee Jigglypuff. Also it doesn't help that competitive Smash was mauled by the Smash World Tour being taken down, and more and more tournaments are folding due to the economy flat-lining as well.
I'd argue Ultimate is more interesting than ever. Japan is back on the map. Gluto is back to being a top 8 threat. MK Leo no longer has free reign over Majors.
Honestly Steve wouldnt be so bad if Minecraft wasnt such overtuned bullshit.
The blocks are at least an interesting idea with hilarious implications. Minecart is just moronic.
I find it funny that Steve is such a strong character but majority of players refuse to pick him up. I think a lot of it is the aesthetic. Steve is funny block man character, an archetype that at worst should be on the level of Duck hunt, and at best, should've been at the level of Pacman. He is not the face a competitive game wants as their top tier. At least previous games (sans maybe 64) had all top tiers that looked flashy and had a sort of cool aspect of them. If Steve was somehow a character like Joker, MetaKnight, Cloud, or Fox, people would be a lot more accepting of him and more players would be playing him. Instead, you only get the sweatiest of players actually playing him that want to win. Acola did not have much success until he picked up the Season 2 DLC chars. Onin was a Robin player only PR'd 14th in his region before he picked up Steve. Steve's case is closest related to Bayonetta, a pretty despised character at the end of 4, but even players like Tweek eventually picked her up. Hell, before her, Cloud would've been the best character in the game, and the joke back in the day was everyone had a pocket Cloud, but at least Cloud was more well received. Steve I don't see being that character. Maybe if Steve comes back in the game, where they will most likely gut him, will he get another chance of being more accepted when he is no longer top tier (Look at a character like Jigglypuff in Ultimate that gets big applause since she is mid tier at best, or even Bayo in Ultimate gets more crowds behind her now that her moves don't autowin her games).
Onin wasn't good before Steve, but Acola was known for being a wifi monster in Japan. Acola was one of the highest ranked wifi players in Japan.
Top players don't want to pickup Steve because he isn't the far and away best character in the game. Also Steve has a weird play style. Believe it or not, Steve isn't a pick up and play character.
First for ban cheatcontrollers.
I thought that BTS disbanded or did LD sell the company
How do we prevent Steve finals?
who you want in smash 6 poll, 200 options

since I don't think it should have its own thread
ultimatebros.....how did it come to this. We used to be the biggest competitive game out of everyone
nairo and samsora were the best American players and got cancelled for the diddling scandal

Ultimate desperately needs personalities. Samsora, Nairo, and Ally were far ahead of the curve.

why is this zss doing random wifi options?
Sonic
I love 30 minute matches
God this is fricking boring
It's crazy to me that Sonic players do all this shit for a game that doesn't even have good prizes. I guess I'd get it if we had Capcom Cup million dollar prizes, but they're just making sure no one has fun in a party game for no reason.
>only names I recognize are Shadic and the troony
mickey mouse bracket
>stop watching when sonic set started 30 minutes ago
>tune back in
>same set
Sonic and Steve are the cancer killing the game. Nobody likes watching or fighting them.
This game will just never be a real esport as long as steve and sonic are here. I can't think of anything that drains the hype more than seeing one of these campy morons. The crowd is fricking EMPTY. Nobody fricking cares, nobody wants to watch this shit.
I don't even think the people playing them even like using them but do so as its the easiest/only way they can hope to get results.
Say what you want about Sonic, but you can't get easy wins with Sonic in Ultimate.
Im glad its over
This top8 is absolute dogshit, how did it get so bad?

You don't actually believe this
Totally believe it. Theres far more character variety in Top play than ever before.

What are the chances Ultimate will receive a patch for Switch 2 that nerfs Steve?
Probably not going to happen. Steve just isn't that busted.
have a nice day Onin
why is ultimate last again
So that everybody can just go home earlier without missing anything
because melee is dead
but this top 8 is fricking awful, no one went to this tourney on the ultimate side
God it's so funny seeing steve kill this game.
why does this controller make pro players shit their pants so much
>steve/steve WF
>sanec in losers
>audience empty
ultibros... it's over...
holy shit the crowd is fricking empty
what the frick happened to ultimate being more popular
All the top players dropped out. They're going to another tournament next weekend.
Is it the one that banned steve
Yeah, and there's going to be a super major afterwards that allows Steve.
what tournaments
what's the next melee tournament
who was even at this one
https://liquipedia.net/smash/Major_Tournaments
i wanna go back to mango/moky
Frick Steve
>double tapped by the same player
Always rough.
>2 steves standing behind their own walls mining over and over
this is the true Ultimate Experience™
kek even with melee in shambles this game is an absolute embarrasment
tbf this is maybe the worst ultimate tournament i've ever seen in my entire life
>steve/steve/sonic top 3
Is this actually the worst ult tournament of all time? I can't think of another this bad.
and the crowd goes mild
>"i haven't watched ult in a while, let's check in"
>steve on steve
>they/them
never mind, i guess
thoughts?
How the frick can you be He/Him and They/Them at the same time?
Its called being a gigantic attention whoring homosexual.
Yeah, seems kinda like a gimick for people who could never get laid in the first place.
lol the venue is borderline empty.
The Steve hate is super real.
Pretty much.
evo bayo finals vibes
nah the steves are actually trying.
Bayo finals was a dumbass and a piece of shit being shitters.
How is this B-tier regional comparable to Evo? You moronic kids overreact to everything.
You know that shit was brutally bad when Nintendo opted to have the announcement for the next Ultimate Direct during Melee instead of WiiU.
wow that was uhhh not very good
Between IBDW destroying my dreams and this shit, it's been a disappointing Sunday.
it means he's fine with either
thankfully its over.
30 million copies btw
How likely is it that the Switch Sales Bonus fully transfers to Switch 2?
smash bros this isn't funny anymore, we need an actual good new game, not even melee will last forever..
when is melee top 8
it happened earlier today
oh. i guess i'll turn the vod on sometime this week.
>enter thread
>frick I missed another smash tourney
>IBDW wins melee after double eliminating Plup in GF
>top 3 in ult are 2 steves and a sonic
holy shit for once I'm happy that I did
I just tried playing melee online and remembered the game is fricking horrible and I hate playing it
why is everyone such a fricking tryhard troony
