#ThankYouXanadu Read more

Whenever I wanted to watch a weekly, I always knew there would be a Xanadu to watch. If it weren’t for them I’d probably have not gotten as interested or invested in the scene. It’s the end of an era, but I doubt it’s the end for the VGBC bois, given their prominence. Read more

That’s only with the first few circles, the last few are much more damaging.

Man it’s been so long since I thought of 16, I prefer his TFS voice more just because it’s the most familiar anymore. Read more

Have to post this

“They hail from Finland, Sweden, Belgium, and South Korea” Read more

Never argue with Goro then. Read more

This article reminds me of DBFZ’s first week of release because it was so easy to identify who came from which scene. IADs and good overall air movement but rarely tags out? GG/BB player. Tag combos and clean assist usage? MvC dude. Won’t jump but has a surprisingly strong ground game? SF guy. Constantly trying to… Read more

SonicFox sure is cocky, but he’s dominated Leffen every time they’ve played against each other. Also, I can’t wait to see how well Kazunoko, Dogura, GO1 and other Japanese players do against the Americans at EVO. Read more

SonicFox has been repeatedly destroying everyone during the Next Level Battle Circuit streams (on twitch.tv/teamsp00ky). It’s been fun to watch. Read more

What. A. Match. Those incredible Monty plays from Penta, especially on Bank, amazing team strategy and coordination. So good to watch. Read more

I feel bad for Kizzie, and certainly hope that they don’t make a repeat of rules like this. That said, the whole match was a spectacle to behold, and it makes me excited for DBFZ’s future. Read more

Her witchcraft allows her to craft constructs out of her hair, like the gigantic foot or fist that emulates her punches and kicks. In the Bayo games, she uses her hair to craft portals that enable demons to cross over into whichever world she’s in, to do her bidding. Since her clothes are usually also constructed from… Read more

Bayo isnt as bad as 64 Pikachu or MetaKnight & Ice Climbers in Brawl. Just has a lot of auto-combos. Theres good arguments on both ends, and I wouldnt mind seeing tournaments experiment with a ban rather than outright dismiss it. It can always be reversed.

ABSOLUTELY ban Cloud in Doubles though wew lad is it worse. I… Read more

“...and that’s when the nanobots dissolve and supercharge the circulatory system. Anyway, what’s your speciality?” Read more

Bayonetta’s status in SSB4 doesn’t come close to Metaknight’s in SSBB. Brawl’s Metaknight was the only one to win anything for a very long while. Bayonetta just wins a disproportionate amount of the time. Read more
