@Yophiel @NatalieElsberg @bungarsargon google the haavara agreement. There was never a nazi muslim allince, there was however a well documented nazi zionist alliance. Makes sense why israel is the first nation since nazi germany to have a race based death penalty, open your eyes.

@NatalieElsberg @bungarsargon Please stop telling Jews who pray 3 times a day in the direction of Jerusalem how we should relate to the state of Israel & the Holy Land. Antizionism derives from Nazism & Soviet propaganda. When it’s no longer okay to be antisemitic the Soviets made it kosher to be antizionist

For 100 years, Jews were a cherished part of the Left. They built the Labor Movement, wrote the New Deal, marched with Dr. King. Yet today, the Left has turned on the Jews. Why did Jews become Democrats? And why did the Left turn on them? My new book answers those questions:

@CasuaI89 moving to 30 is stupid but the zain cody ft10 was one of the coolest moments in melee, something thats never happened before. Imo the problem with the change is them taking it too seriously, worrying about the accuracy of the rankings rather than giving players their flowers

Might as well make melee top 30 popularity contest. While I respect what you e done in the past but the fact were allowing 1/2 have an exhibition to determine the number one has forever made the current listing a joke. The top 100 literally is show case the people actually work-

@shoshovelvel unlike opinion polls, voting is mandatory

i'm willing to believe this will happen when i hear someone under 45 say they support one nation

@LatinSSBM you sound really lame

I think there is nothing I would personally recommend less to anyone than seriously getting into melee. fantastic way to completely waste up to years of one's life

@NYGovPress67 @RocketBullets @PaleBl_nk wow thats awful

Nothing like getting an old Smash set recommended on YouTube

@RC_Balance @owenjonesjourno because your wife and female friends are really really dumb

@owenjonesjourno My wife and female friends all feel the same, they are being driven out of female toilets and changing rooms. Their fear is real, their concerns are real. Why should less than 1% be allowed to adversely impact around 50%?

If trans women use men’s toilets, they will be subjected to humiliation, abuse and violence. Anyone with any sense knows this. Which is why in practice trans women will not use men’s toilets, and will just increasingly be driven out of society.

@SnaccMuay @monotheon such as?

@monotheon A lot of your suggestions here are well thought out, but I ultimately think moving to 30 was the best move. You’re completely right that it’s “bad optics” for the game, but I think the downsides of the alternatives are still worse.

I'm not a fan of this change at all, and vocalized my concerns privately to members of the Melee Stats team when the rankers nearly made this change last year. I appreciate that this is in response to fewer events happening in the first half of the year in 2026, but it's also a decision being made prior to BoBC, a major still yet to take place in the first half of the year that will undoubtedly create more meaningful data. An alternative solution would be broadening the ranking-eligible events to include major prelocals, which would effectively double the amount of cross-region h2h data without depriving 20 players of the opportunity to be recognized for their efforts, and also make it much easier for players to meet the activity requirements without breaking the bank on travel. The optics of downsizing from a top 50 to a top 30 are just not great- it implies that the game is shrinking. 50 or 100 players on a ranking have always been arbitrary thresholds that don't reflect ranges of skill or the number of players who are "good" at the game, and the lower spots on the top 100 have also always been pretty volatile. I don't think that that's an issue. When so many players set "getting ranked" as a huge goal, in the same way that players try to push to get on their local PR, I think that there's value in upholding those goalposts. I'm not suggesting that we broaden the top 50 or 100 to let everyone get a participation trophy or something, but when there's such a strong precedent for what the benchmarks are, I think that pulling that opportunity away from people is just missing the bigger picture, especially when there are alternative solutions. I think there are plenty of other solutions that would be preferable- a mid-year top 100 that includes the back half of 2025, delaying the mid-year ranking slightly to include more data, not aligning with the calendar year, or just running it and accepting that it'll never be perfect- and that's okay. I understand that the ranking team prioritizes the accuracy our their output, and I don't fault them for wanting to ensure that they're not effectively making up placings. But I do think that they're missing the forest for the trees with this one.

@RocketBullets @PaleBl_nk wait did D1 do something bad how have i never heard this

@PaleBl_nk Let me guess Zero vs Ally, commentary by D1

@remalmadingdong @voorhese Outrageous take, melee on slippi would likely not have rollback or ranked and be just generally worse to play than slippi, and with a legal and profitable way to play the game they’d just shut slippi down so you only have a shitty option.

@voorhese slippi ruined the melee community. now I got people on my ass for wanting Nintendo to release melee on the switch saying "just install slippi retard" like I haven't already done that 1000 years ago and it'd still be more convenient to just pull out my switch 2

I miss pre slippi melee. Every scene was unique in their own right. It showed in their play. Traveling to a tourney with the crew used to be like storming a dojo to see who's Kung fu was the best.

@AuddishICS @HodatBest fidel cashflow might be top 3 usernames oat

@HodatBest absolutely

is it content for me to get coaching from m2k yes or no?

@caallmeeden @Ursen_ 8 bucks an hour is nothing bro, please use your brain

@Ursen_ literally having a 1,280 monthly income and crying over 350 rent is actual insanity. like do you know what the rest of us are dealing with? i genuinely hate people sometimes.

😭😭😭😭😭 you cannot take TikTok from my hands bro

@BadSocialisms you can be a genius but if youre operating off of incorrect information youll still sound fucking stupid.

"Soviet communism is a mask for bolshevism" If there's any proof IQ is bullshit, here you go

Every day I think about Cody Schwab Just when I think I can't do one more pull-up, I mutter to myself: "Cody would do one more." And then I get up there. By the time Tipped Off comes around, the imaginary version of you in my head will have trained me to be both physically and mentally prepared to defeat you in grands And then I'll eat your face Best of luck

@Ph4nt0m_RM @SagaSaturn2 yall forgetting about zelda which is OBJECTIVELY the second most iconic

@SagaSaturn2 "2nd most iconic NES game" it piggybacked off mario lets be fr contra is probably the 2nd most iconic NES game

no disrespect to this person but this is the funniest notif ive ever gotten on this website i did NOT know people were ride or die for duck hunt like this

@X14337895 @tonydpoison if this is the case show 1 academic study showing that, except you wont because youre talking out your ass using a hypothetical justification for racism to hide that there are no actual justifications.

@tonydpoison It's not a leap to understand that different evolutionarily selective pressures produced not only different physiological differences, but also different psychologies which result in different behavioral patterns

Because looking at it objectively, racism is fucking stupid and nobody wants to admit they're fucking stupid.

@SSBMagi @TheYard woo magi!!!

WON EGGDOG TOURNEY AND MY FIRST TOURNEY UNDER @TheYard WOOOOOOO

@chvpter_ angel and devil on combo breakers shoulder

@DgoIsInTheHouse @SilverFan101 its already been an over 7 year wait though, who wants to wait 5 years so we can have 20 clone characters

@SilverFan101 I think they can do all of that without removing any characters given enough time. Sakurai just wrapped up air riders so I wouldn't expect a new smash brothers in less than 3 or 5 more years

I still don't get why people want less characters for smash 6

@djkevking @bortinez_ @SJview but he wasnt a black muslim and he did get away with it. Are you stupid?

@bortinez_ @SJview It’s true though
