Is anyone else having lots of freezes with the teamsp00ky stream using Source quality? Other streams seem to keep going, albeit on lower quality settings.

Yes, I think he is streaming at such a high bitrate that some servers out there are struggling with it, usually I can watch source in the UK but spooky lately has been too much. Twitch servers outside of america used to be terrible.

I think he uses 3500 at 60fps.

I just realized I haven't seen a Robin on stream in a while. Has he/she fallen out of favor?

Slow move speed, and bad grab. So yes.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Poor Lucky.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Lucky just threw that one away

 

[FZZ]

Poor Lucky he could have won that game

 

[JoeInky]

The idea of Nintendo doing a "future of competitive smash" panel when they've only been a part of it for less than a year feels weird to me, let's see what it's all about.

E: Nah fuck that it's freezing every 2 seconds, I'm sure if anything worthwhile gets said people will post about it.

 

[sikvod00]

Lol at anyone who thinks the Guile-Gief matchup is heavily in Guile's favor.

 

[theprodigy]

Score updates at the bottom of the screen? We esports now

 

[Trey]

I remember week one people where calling him top tier, lol.

 

[foxuzamaki]

saying they're gonna sustain and grow the community as much as possible.

 

[Lunar15]

I can't even get any of these twitch streams to load.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Lucky hollin'

 

[Revven]

Yeeep, they wanna grow the relationship.

 

[FZZ]

NO D EYYEEEEE

 

[Muzy72]

What time are the announcements?

 

[Lucumo]

Meh, Lucky had way too good reads in the edge-game.

 

[xezuru]

Pshhaww, real talk, twitch is the sponsor MVP for APEX, went up and beyond expectations dropping the pot bomb and the new godlike venue, they ain't gettin enough love in comparison.

 

[J@hranimo]

I'm glad JC is explaining all of that, since he pretty much is the "liaison" between Nintendo (NOA at least) and us, the community. Good to know it's for the long term instead "lol buy Smash 4 pls we promised Mewtwo!"

 

[Nanashrew]

That was just the first panel right? That was really great!

 

[Revven]

That was... the... third one.

Nahh dood Twitch got a hashtag "#ThankYouTwitch" on Friday and tons of love from the community.

D: I must have been distracted.

 

[Hot Coldman]

There's still a special announcement tonight, right?

 

[Vena]

He's still good. He's just got some serious weaknesses against things like Uair. Hopefully they go ahead and bring out this nerf to Uair's Diddy. Might bring Uair down to the same level as the rest of the roster.

I think it's after the 64 finals.

Yeah I feel like Robin has some really bad matchups against the speedy characters, which happens to be mostly top tier in this game.

 

[Nanashrew]

Even if that was a third it was really, really great. JC is totally legit. Loving his panels.

 

[Vena]

I think wall can do him well against Sheik, but ZSS, Luigi, and Uair all have ways around his defense barrier. His Levin's pretty kick-ass but he'll still have weird kill issues.

 

[trixx]

great samus play

 

[Revven]

SO CLOSE

 

[Hot Coldman]

I think it's after the 64 finals.

Ahhhh, after, not before. Thanks"

I think Sheik is better than Robin, but it could be due to the Sheik player we have in Hawaii (Void who tied for 33rd for Apex this year). I do think it's an easier matchup than ZSS, Diddy, etc but not by much.

Robin gets walled back pretty good too. He's got no answers to Villager and DHD.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

chain hype

 

[Puruzi]

That chain. What.

 

[Josh5890]

I'm going to check out these how to videos later on in depth. I'm tired of getting my butt kicked online.

 

[R.D.Blax]

I heard that Diddy will be nerf. Is that true ?

 

[J@hranimo]

I heard that Diddy will be nerf. Is that true ?

It was hinted at....

 

[Anth0ny]

holy hell smash 4 doubles is going to take foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


3 stock was a bad choice

 

[FSLink]

Robin gets walled back pretty good too. He's got no answers to Villager and DHD.

Yeah, it'd be more manageable if he was more mobile but the slow walkspeed + obvious arc of Arcfire will make it difficult to outzone or rush in past the zoning tools.

 

[Revven]

EDDY MEXICOOOOOOO LETSAGO

 

[Twilight Princess]

livestreamer running all streams smooth over here

can I have a link? Thanks

Damn, I missed them.

But they will upload them to screwattack later, right?

 

[TrickRoom]

SHORYUUUUUUKEN

 

[Vena]

Oh no doubt, his ground game can be atrocious against campers and he's got no ways to launch characters like Villager or DHD to get his Levin aerials going.

Robin just seems to have a ton of bad match-ups, and I think a lot of that comes from his ground speed being so poor. He's otherwise built like a solid, good character but he just can't move well.

I think Sheik is better than Robin, but it could be due to the Sheik player we have in Hawaii (Void who tied for 33rd for Apex this year). I do think it's an easier matchup than ZSS, Diddy, etc but not by much.

I don't doubt that Sheik is all around better but Arcfire blocks her needles and her approaches entirely. She also depends a lot on her aerials which is where the Levin shines and bair comes out super fast for him.

My favorite gui is still broken from a twitch update but this one is pretty decent:
