I quit my job as a senior software engineer in March to pursue full-time content around the game I love. I wanted to believe in the scene and community. This is hard for me. I'm sorry if it's impacting my commentary today. #FreeMelee.

I keep encountering these AI Twitter gimmick accounts and, time and time again, they all pale in comparison to the OG @DeepLeffen. I really think we will look back one day and realize that Deep Leffen was truly the first, and perhaps the last, great "AI artist".
Inside every Smash player there are two wolves. One is a racist and the other is an incel. Some people called "furries" have a third wolf inside of them, but for different reasons. There's also a secret fourth wolf that is a literal wolf. His name is Odin and he's also racist.

There was a moment in the friendlies area at the most recent Smash Summit where the power on all the TVs went out. Production looked into it, and apparently there were too many friendlies on Yoshi's Story at once, which caused the breaker to trip because the stage is so bright.

Listen kid, I commentate top 8s. So those "nice back airs" you're dropping aint gonna cut it. At my level Twitch chat expects me to weave storylines and unpack playstyles. Stick to casting your local pools and leave that last Nestle PureLife bottle to the professionals.

In the wake of this I had this realization:. Armada's resume is so immaculate that he can look at a guy who literally won an EVO AND an APEX and say "That's cute.". Legend.
@LiquidSalem @TSM_Leffen @SonicFox5000 @PG_MVD Your greatest achivements are an Apex & an EVO trophy which are big events but guess what, I have more titles in both Apex & EVO than this and Apex does not even make my top 5. Check up your facts before talking shit, even the most basic researcher should know that much.

Some kid (8-10yo?) came up to me at the pool yesterday and said "Hey, I'm a fan! I play Rosalina and Luma! Got any tips?" so I said "uhhhh Dabuz is in there somewhere go find him". Went to swim and later he ran by me yelling "OH MY GOD I MET DABUUUUZZZZ". 😭.

I keep discovering the same truths in every game I play.
You've gotta play melee like it's kind of disappointing that your opponent is out of stocks. Wanting the match to end and the tension to release is easily one of the biggest mental errors I see people make while competing, and it leads to so many bad interactions.

I just find it funny that you and other melee players are trying to run up in Nier Automata, milk it and then run off back to melee for the millionth time as if nobody is gonna notice. Hence me knowing you don’t know what you’re talking about.

In an Asian American Studies class I took in college I first heard verbalized the idea that while Asian Americans are viewed as harmless/productive members of society, they aren't viewed as "American". This white cop empathizing with a murderer is the latest reminder of that.

I think it's BS and hella unhealthy how everyone talks about the top 6. We frame it like they're failing if they don't literally WIN the tourney. Which is unsustainable because then at any given time 5/6 of them are "failing". No wonder they get burned out. Let's be considerate.

Smash Ultimate is the fighting game community that simultaneously. 1) plays the game with the worst netcode of any modern fighter, by a MILE. 2) and yet insists on running (and participating in!) tournaments that are not split up by region. Bold.

Melee players clowning on this have clearly not played Ultimate and are out of their depth. The games are super different; what links for free in Melee frequently just doesn't work in Ult. If an Ult player found a way to waveshine usmash, people would correctly lose their shit.

I think it's poetic that 4 games with great netcode got open brackets, 8/9 games from the EVO lineup with somewhat bearable netcode are featuring events, and the biggest fighting game of all time with the most MISERABLE ONLINE EXPERIENCE of all time is nowhere to be found LMFAO.
