MagicScrumpy Super Smash Bros. Melee Mod Roundup: Pichu Climbers and More!

MagicScrumpy is one of the most active Melee modders out there at the moment, and his mods are always a delight to see. He tackles concepts the general fanbase never even thought to consider, and shares what he discovers on his channel. We’ve gathered up another batch of his new content for your enjoyment.

Up first is one of the more interesting concepts, Pichu Climbers. Similar to his previous Fox Climbers video, this mod has two Pichus replacing the Ice Climbers, complete with new Plusle and Minum skins to compliment this electric mouse duo.

Next, it’s Zelda’s turn to be made viable as part of Scrumpy’s ongoing “Viable Melee” series. As he’s done in the past, Scrumpy attempts to keep the spirit and the core of the character effectively the same, but make some weaker options just a bit stronger to help the character compete with the rest of the cast.

Our last mod for the night is an attempt at adding Final Smashes to Melee, something only available in Brawl and Smash for Wii U. The results are a bit crazy, check them out below.

10 of the Worst Street Fighter Character Designs, According to WhatCulture

Hearing fans arguing over which characters have terrible design is nothing new. Among the more hardcore crowd, things like “character design” are usually used for character moveset, playstyle, and how that character matches up with the rest of the cast. It’s a little sobering though to realize that design does mean something completely different to the rest of the world.

WhatCulture, known for their list articles and videos, try their hand at presenting the most offensive character designs in Street Fighter history. Their opinion on this matter is a tad surprising, with them criticizing cult fan favorites, and not really branching out past Street Fighter III and Street Fighter EX. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though, and if you’d like to hear theirs, then this video is for you.

– Heavy Gear Assault: Launching to the Battlefield in December

Heavy Gear Assault is one of the pillars that defined the Mech genre in games. For years, players on the table top had been fighting these battles with miniatures. Then as early as video games can be remembered Heavy Gear had always been around. However, the IP had been quiet since the 1990s until Stompy Bot was finally able to breathe new life into Heavy Gear Assault after an informative and tough development cycle.
