Once again Islam comes up with an excuse. This time it’s an injury.
I always knew I would be part of the White House event. Even when the UFC told me at one point that they wouldn’t count on me for the event, I knew it was part of the negotiation.
When they finally told me I would be on the White House card, they mentioned Islam and I didn’t hesitate for a second to accept the fight.
Even though the fight hadn’t been officially confirmed yet, the White House card was going to be announced the next day. And when I woke, I found out that Islam had gotten injured.
And then Justin Gaethje appeared.
Once again, someone else who will pay for Islam’s escape.
Both of their manager is a bitch and also ugly as hell.
Justin, see you at the White House. I’m not someone who humiliates people.
It will be quick. When you wake up, everything will already be over.

Fun research project by Fiction!
Also even though I was category one, feel like it doesn't fully encapsulate my thoughts. As a Brawl/PM player, I think button remapping should just be available for everyone lol

Finished my study on Z Jump, and the video is up now 🫡 In addition to my own arguments, I surveyed the entire top 40, as well as every Permaclaw player I could find. I hope this video helps to educate the community!

@upgamer_Nicki @NotAklo good idea to ban fox, hes already too strong and theres no way to go back ggs

My final thoughts on zjump — I recently thought about this for a VERY long while before saying something that I wasn't confident in. In this post I've addressed every point that has been brought up regarding this debate, as well as some points that I haven't seen people mention.
As someone who has been playing Melee since the beginning and who at heart actually DISLIKES button remapping in the game, banning Z-jump/GCC remapping simply cannot be justified.
You cannot ban zjump without banning boxx. Rather, you SHOULD not. It is logically inconsistent. If you support doing so, then your argument is subjective and not objective. You are biased. I've heard many people argue that banning only GCC remapping is fine because the boxx is an accessibility controller, whereas zjump and remapping are purely for ease of use.
It's true that some top players (i.e. Cody, Joshman, Lucky, Chem, etc) have benefited from switching to Z-jump. Yes, it's mostly Fox players, as Fox requires the most high speed execution in the game.
But the amount of NON-TOP level players that have improved because of switching to boxx is disproportionate. Yes, the boxx is an accessibility controller. But to pretend that the boxx is not ALSO an ease of use tool is straight up delusional. To be clear btw, I think the boxx being legal is very good for the overall health of the scene.
If you think "we can address the boxx if it becomes a problem," then that means you only care if someone actually good at the game is using these tools. Put your bias aside; it is blinding you.
The argument that GCC remapping is inaccessible is also just bullshit. Here is why:
It's true that you currently need a phob gcc/controller mods to do remapping (which is super dumb btw when stealth mods are possible). However, if you want to play Melee on GCC without remapping, the only feasible way you can properly perform techniques utilized by zumpers and boxx players is to use permanent right hand claw grip. For most human beings, this hand position is extremely uncomfortable. In fact, I would even argue that doing perma claw grip without hand discomfort is EVEN LESS realistic than having controller mods done. It's just such a bad faith argument too because most serious competitors have already been using Phob controllers for years.
That being said, zjumping is obviously easier than claw grip. I'm sure there is a very small subset of people who disagree, as this is subjective. Let's be real though. Even aside from competitive gamers, the vast majority of human beings would not think that perma claw grip is easier than holding a controller the conventional way. It IS an ease of use tool, but again — so is the boxx.
Last thing I'll say is that I truly find it comical seeing Captain Falcon, Sheik, Marth, and Puff players complain about tech skill being too easy for Fox. "Melee is supposed to be a very difficult game [for you, not me]."

@MarcEddy @JustusXYZ its all about fair play, bro. Im ok with whatever as long as the competition is fair and balanced, everybody benefits from fair play. is just a matter of addressing it and not just ignore it
English

@oster30 @JustusXYZ Bro, just saying "it's built different" is silly as heck. Every other platform fighter has multiple input options, even most other smash games. They aren't loopholes and it doesn't hurt the "competitive integrity" of the game; that is also silly.
English

@Delzoun @JustusXYZ its not only the remaping top players also modify the hardware to make it easier/reliable, giving a competitive advantage to a character/s that already has all of it. If you ask AI about competition and fair play this is clearly stated there.
English

@JustusXYZ I have yet to have anyone explain to me why a single button remap is more obstructive to the game than an entirely different controller form that has custom modifiers and every button is rebound.
English

@MarcEddy @JustusXYZ melee is just not a common fighting game, its built different and abusing loopholes in the current rule set is against fair play and competitive integrity
English

@JustusXYZ People win with zump but they don't win with boxx so kind of a moot point. If grand finals was boxx vs zump or boxx vs boxx instead of zump vs zump as we've seen then maybe we'd be having that discussion. Every other fighting game has options for controllers with no issues.
English

@MedzSSBM dashback, shield drop is universal and can be used by all characters in the roster. notches, zump only buffs a few of them. which affects the competitive integrity. If melee is to be fair and competitive, agreements should be made by the community, whatever it is agreed
English

@n0ned you are right, sorry nobody cares or is brave enough to speak it. all mods are made to benefit fox which is already top tier character. hopefully sometime this will be cleared, if zump box etc, is going to be allowed from now on so be it, but it should be agreed by the players
English

homie is QTing me. Just answer here. Thats why i @ ed you. Thats how X works.
I regret not calling you out directly sooner, sadly I've had work and other stuff on my plate. Youve directly contributed to shortcut behaviour in melee. Whats the point of playing melee if nothing is impressive. Everything is free. Melee loses identity. Melee loses what makes it what it is. We're supposed to be pushing technicality + OUTPLAY. Its what has always made Melee unique. Not controller mod advantages. And as a collective we CANNOT be forced to switch to zump just because others wont get off it.
For the record, idgaf about what you think of me.
I know how i carry myself. Others can vouch for me.
Miss me with that shit. This isnt about me. Its about you and zumping. Nice try.
And for full transparency, whenever youre on screen, you are my bathroom break.
But you WILL come clean.
STOP LYING to the audience. Smash audience is easily impressionable and we cannot foster people with this kind of behaviour. Its horrible culture.
The day after the call, you immediatly went live saying.
'BOX will never get banned'
Its clearly all youre thinking about.
You are 100% hiding behind box.
I repeat. From my lens, you being top rep, this is weak and unheard of. Can you really be compared to the past GOATs of the game? Really makes you think.
You addressed nonsense, but nothing of value in regards to the group call. I dont even have to push evidence, we all agreed on it. You, me, Zain, Hbox. Everyone was there. What i do remember is you almost breaking down because you were in SHOCK that everyone wanted to ban zump. Then you tried to 'push a ban for banning notches at the end of 2026, and then lets reconvene and try to ban zumping at the end of 2027. Trying to sabatoge what everyone was fighting for. zzzzzzzzzz
You must think we're all 5 years old.
All the audience needs to do and go ask other top players if what im saying is true.
Its a shame you only think of your own benefit before the rest of the community.

Thanks for the rank and to the blurb writers for all their hard work, you help carry game storylines.
Happy for all the new up and coming players and we should celebrate them,
But rankings are tainted the closer to the top you get
The attached clip is the moment shit took a turn for the worse.
@iBDWSSBM Its funny seeing you act like this back then, and then nowadays playing victim saying its not an advantage and its too late to do anything about it.
You know damn well that all of the top players got on a call last year and we agreed that we had to get rid of zump but because of the timing it fell through.
You said yourself years ago how broken it is, you know damn well its not just a simple remap so stop acting like its the same thing as claw.
And stop hiding behind box technicality, you know that the top players all wanted to ban zump and not touch box. Box serves as melee's accesibility tool, Zump has ZERO reasoning to exist.
Your credibility is already lackluster, this is 100% anti-top player behaviour.
Shame on you, as top rep of the game, you should know better than to hide behind technicalities, making mockery of melee's historied players, stories and legacies for your own benefit.
YOU are the problem here cody, so stop going on reddit saying that it's others that are creating division when its you whos doing it.
Curious how youll reply now that a top rep is personally calling u out . Maybe you just dont have what it takes to prove youre the real deal without zump. 🤷♂️
