I remember being real confused as to why I'd buy a key when I could buy every weapon in the box for 5 cents on the market. Never figured it out tbh.

Idk if you mean woke racism like noble savage stuff or like metaphor refantazio, but I feel like I see a lot of that "just don't cover that topic" when it happens in books too. I think it's just being inexperienced at critical analysis and not really thinking past presenting their knee jerk solution

Let him cancel specials into a pinball stance and then cancel specials out of that to stack the momentum. Also like, bouncing around like a pinball and doing wrecking ball stuff is a clear end stage fully snowballed expectation for how a robot looking like that with momentum mechanics would work.

I remember learning that back when blazblue came out and someone pointed out to me that nu13 had a move inspired by Archer, and I said "oh, it does make more sense with arrows", prompting an info dump about that bum.
Then years later salty bet taught me he's actually named "bone of my sword guy".

Being a hang out spot with bums with the same hobby is how you grow, so casual matches in any game they want is how you get the bums to come back. It'll take a while to grow too. When we started, my local fgc took months to get to 5+ heads on average (city's pop was ~220k at the time).

Check for local smash scenes too, not a ton of overlap but they tend to have some peeps who will join or can help you make connections/boost you. Don't have an entry fee and don't worry about doing tournaments except when big games come out (that's when people tend to search for locals).

Assuming you are trying to build a local fgc, grab some friends and set a consistent time and place to do weeklies/whatever. You need to be on every social media with the basic info and a link to whatever the main announcement/group chat is. Universities are a good place to advertise after that.

I will carry that burden myself then.

Hey, sometimes it is true. It's only usually true for bottom tier characters without any semblance of a mixup who also have no defense in neutral, and untouchable god characters who can force a time out in any match at will, but those types of characters exist!

Wondering how they managed to find field hockey equipment more expensive than hockey and lacrosse despite the fact that only the shoes, shins, and stick change between them (and ice hockey has a neck guard instead of kidney guards).

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

Only good thing about this is that people not understanding the format has them accidentally feeding my ego as a mystery tournament fiend. Shit's not mystery so it isn't even tempting me lol
