Yeah I should be able to.

I just don't feel any customs outside of Heavy Skull Bash (with combination of Thunder Wave) deserve any banning. There isn't enough data to prove any of them banworthy yet.

And yes, I'm still saying Super Speed is not good as "broken" as you think, I mean it's a worse Sonic spin dash with cooldown on a much worse character. EVO also hasn't really shown much jank in top 32. Should we really ban all customs just because of a few? Lose out on customs Duck Hunt, Palutena, Ganondorf, Wario, Miis, etc?



Learn to catch the gyros, and toss them upwards, do not shield them. Shield lasers, avoid pivot grabs and normal grabs, ROB's grab range is pretty small but he'll use projectiles to condition you into them.

He's a big target, and prone to be juggled, so any character that can juggle well is a pretty bad matchup for him. Example: C. Falcon, Sheik, Diddy Kong, Fox

Good players lost because of Villager custom jank. Diddy Kong won several matches due to an up B kill custom. Giving lightweight characters New guaranteed kill options is problematic.

Like I said, I will wait for the next patch.

Also, lol @ custom Sonic. Hammer Spindash was pretty BS.

I never said Super Speed is broken. I don't even use the word broken to describe things.

With regards to customs, Evo has shown that customs don't change things as drastically as I thought. The best players still place high, and more players would rather continue to play their own characters than switch to campy Villagers and Dongbender. I'm not in favor of customs, but I don't think they should be banned yet. Maybe ride out the rest of the year and see how we deal with them.

And at least there's always good old default. :)

This is my biggest thing about customs. It's being banned so quickly, and why are we choosing to ban all of them instead of banning just the problem ones?

Custom Villager is very beatable, if they didn't figure it out by EVO, they should have hit the lab. That's not a character issue, it's a player knowledge issue. Only Diddy Kong in top 32 using upB kill custom was Angel Cortez I believe, and he would have placed high anyway.

Outside of Dapuffster and the 2 Wii Fit Trainer players, who in top 32 really only got there with customs? They would have made it there without customs.

If you ban all the problematic customs, there won't be any left worth picking outside of a few. They get picked for their OPness.

No one wants to go through a democratic banning process for a 50+ character roster to decide what is too good and what isn't.

I think most people would agree that:
Heavy Skull Bash (in combination with Thunder Wave, by itself it's not that bad)
Timber Counter

are the only real OP moves, Kong Cyclone, Hammer Spin Dash, Thunder Wave, and a few others are suspect at best.

I don't think it's as hard as you think.

I played a kong on Anthers that absolutely abused Cyclone perfectly. I know we disagree on that move though.

I've played DKWill with customs before, and watched him play many Hawaii players here when he visited...I do think it could be one looked at to be banned for sure (I put it as suspect), but I don't think it has enough data to be truly banned yet.

I'm around if anyone wants a game.
You wanna see if it works better today snacks?
If not, that's totally cool, yesterday was atrocious

Regarding customs, I pretty much agree with everyone here, I was expecting them to be a lot worse at evo, but top players managed fine against them.

There should be like a formal request to Sakurai so he can sort some of the jank like trip sprout (and Shiek)

Haha I mean, send a message that costum moves would make a fine addition to tourney play but there's fundamental issues with some of them. I suppose the first step would be to bitch about dlc characters not having then I suppose.

My internet has been acting up so it might not be too hot but it doesn't hurt to try

I decided to go earlier this week, should be fun. Sucks that I didn't know you were going since we could have teamed (not sure how to register for doubles after doing your registration).

I'm not a fan of customs used in tournaments. I don't mind playing against them, but I feel like they weren't well made/balanced well for competitive play. The argument could go on forever. :/

Yea I threw in a registration for doubles as well for it, but haven't picked a partner yet. If you do figure out a way to add that we can still try it, will have to try to find another random person from this region otherwise.

It'd be great if they'd finally begin balancing customs, but I don't think they will because it looks like the DLC characters won't even be getting any, not even lazy property changes to their specials.

Managed to watch a Pac-Man vs ZSS EVO match, but sadly it wasn't all that interesting outside of the player's good use of OOS nairs and a couple of times when she used up B to break a hydrant while using the trampoline below as a trap.

Good games Soul.

I won't lie, there were many times during those matches where I was shouting about how much I hate Luigi! The amount of damage he can do from one combo is ridiculous.
