Stay tuned for more info on the series finale later this year

they really cooked when they decided autistic faggots could run melee tournaments

which is funny because except for unnerfed boxes with like 20 total possible coordinates, by far the most egregious thing we're checking for is goomwave shenanigans

Final Update:

76 of the top 101 (incl 28 of the top 30) played in a Nicolet tournament in 2025!

been a minute since i posted on here, but i'm coming back with GOOD NEWS:

i did a lightning talk at @kiwipycon.nz about my slippi ftp replay stuff! check it out: youtu.be/ZP-wGoZ5v-g?...

I'm looking to discontinue support for Challonge in Replay Manager. If you are a Challonge hotswapper or know a TO who is a Challonge hotswapper please get in touch.

i now have repo access for ausmash (thx @shitashi.bsky.social) so i shipped my first feature in ausmash and now you can upload replay manager zips in bulk to ausmash!

Are you looking for unique handmade top 8 graphics at low prices with a quick turn around?

Get in touch with me (DevDogg ^.^)

I would love to work with more melee TOs and communities

In 2025, I asked 25 melee players "what does melee mean to you?"

Their responses were originally shared in my weekly newsletter: waddle.news

Now, I'll share what everyone had to say at once...

If you are having a new issue with your adapter not connecting to Dolphin, try closing Steam fully so it no longer shows up in your taskbar.

Steam has been rolling out an update which adds support for GC adapters and thus prevents Dolphin from using them.

I would even say online is now the easiest way to run a quad stream

A new tool for running netplay tournaments!

I've been using it at all my events over the past few weeks, and I hope to see a lot more TOs and streamers try it out. Thank you Nicolet 🙇‍♀️💜

As always, get in touch if you'd like to join my discord server for TOs who use my and related apps

As well, some functionality is enabled by Slippi Launcher's new Spectate Remote Control feature, which I developed with review and feedback by twitter.com/_binseu @metonym.tv @fizzi36.bsky.social

This of course would not be possible without the direct input, testing, and feedback from some of the best netplay TOs in the game.
