Some gamer from South East England. Smash Ultimate is kind of fun, but competitive Kirby Air Ride is where it's at.

@Majora__Z @KirbyAirRiders I'm only guessing from the clips we've seen of Tank Star so far; I think the Slick Star is likely to be a lot better at gliding and will have a much faster boost charge, while the Tank Star will actually be able to steer well without boosting and will be heavier and more durable
English

I'm very curious how this differs from the new Tank Star
Both of them have the gimmick of the star not coming to a stop when you charge a boost, and instead continuing to move in the existing direction until the boost releases
Will the Tank Star just not have the otherwise slippery controls, or is there something else to the Tank Star's gimmick that makes it distinct?
English

The Slick Star slips and slides around with almost no friction. It can be challenging to handle, but it certainly has a unique feel to it! Drifting won't lose you much speed, either. #KirbyAirRiders

@TheAfroSmash If you plan on playing all of them and you don't play Dark Souls first, when you come back to it without any nostalgia factor to prop it up then it will probably feel super clunky to you.
If you're only going to play one though, I'd vote Bloodborne if you can get it

@NathanBishopTCG What is Rigid Band doing for you specifically? I built a deck similar to this and ended up taking it out for more consistency (a Hilda and another Latias)

Deck finally lost to gardy after 12 wins in a row here is the list for everyone to see

@Ki11ersix I want them to change the health-gating and shield-gating system, so that feeling tanky in endgame combat is actually possible. I'm fed up of 90% of defensive perks and shields being useless, and endgame combat just being a yo-yo of nearly dying/FFYL into fully healing instantly

What’s everyone’s BIGGEST concern about #Borderlands4 at this point?

@j_rem85 @SaladBarFan It's not quite the same as scalping - these services don't book the initial slots, they just get first dibs on the open slots left by people that cancel. Their site automatically pays and books the open slot, then everyone with the app gets an email and has 10 minutes to book it.
English

@BenchWheelChair @SaladBarFan So people like you who use bots are the problem OP has to deal with (“scalpers”)

@amcharles0 I've been messing about with Festival Seaking + Skeledirge ex on ladder for a while lol. Very fun but definitely not that practical 😅


English

@Peko_Girlboss My personal changes would be:
1. Fairy doesn't resist Bug
2. Water is weak to Poison
3. Ice resists Dragon
English

@TheItanoCircus @Kopter__ I feel like they should just re-release Ultimate as a Deluxe version with all the DLC included and a cosmetics/costumes system, then release a smaller new Smash more focused on eSports/competitive alongside it.
Trying to go bigger than Ultimate probably wouldn't succeed IMO
English

@Kopter__ I'd like a new Smash. Feel like Ult's time has been.
But I honestly don't know how they even approach matching the roster of Ultimate.
English

@AbrandNewMac If you do go for Grand Tree as your Ace Spec, including one or both of these 2 might work out quite well


English

@AbrandNewMac "Deck hire" with coins, and a hire ladder to test them in. Once you have bought every single cosmetic in the shop they do nothing. Why not let us try out the battle decks they sell on store shelves in exchange for coins, without actually giving players the cards?
English

@AbrandNewMac I want them to print a fat Snorlax ex with 230+ HP, 4 retreat cost, a generic attack for 2 or 3 energy that does enough to OHKO Dusknoir, and this or a similar ability:
"Thanks for the Food"
Whenever you take a Prize card during your opponent's turn, your opponent's turn ends.
English

I'm definitely walking back my pro-Dusknoir stance.
With how they interact with "Comeback" cards, I can admit they are a mistake.
You can't really fix them without making a basic that says "Your opponents Dusclops and Dusknoir in play have no abilities "
That or ban
ForTheWin@ForTheWinTCG
My main issue with Dusknoir isn't the fact that it fixes maths or there isn't a counter for it, but because it allows comeback cards to instead be used aggressively in a more controlled way to get even further ahead. Making it harder for the opponent to... COME BACK!
English

@AbrandNewMac Dusknoir + Counter Catcher is absolutely toxic, and I just have no interest in a meta where you can often lose turn 1 going second before you have even played a single card if your opponent sets up well enough

@VideoSealMan Huge events for competitive singles on cart would take an impossible amount of time. When the switch and attack animations take like 30 seconds each and games average at like 20+ turns, it's unbearable to watch and not really that much fun to play either
English

@SuperGirlKels Balloon knockback combined with the coloured knockback smoke all over the screen all the time makes for scrappy gameplay and a lot of visual mess
English

Ok Smash Community it’s time to address the Doubles Issue.
I am working on a pretty big analysis on why Doubles is NOT popular in Smash Ultimate. Especially with the recent Smashies cutting Doubles awards, I wanna ask… WHY?
Why aren’t people interested in Doubles for Ultimate? What changed compared to the other games? 🤔
I want perspectives from those who LOVE doubles, and those who HATE it. Fire away and please send this to your fav. doubles enthusiast! 🤝

@azulgg In a deck with 9 basics and 10 search cards that can find basics (Dragapult/Pidgeot), yesterday I started only Radiant Alakazam going first with no other basics or search 3 games IN A ROW
English

@AlvinHall84 @PokeDuelsTikTok I'm aware, but we have a good Eevee with a useful ability that could make a deck with two different evolutions run more smoothly so it's still worth mentioning
English

@BenchWheelChair @PokeDuelsTikTok Resonant Evolution says that it has to come from hand, Salvatore bypasses the hand so that wouldn't work.
