MagicScrumpy “Fixes” Link & Donkey Kong, While Breaking Kirby & Pichu in These Super Smash Bros. Melee Experiments

Some fighters balanced, some fighters imbalanced.

MagicScrumpy is still hard at work picking Super Smash Bros. Melee to bits, and putting those bits back together in intriguing ways. Lately, he’s been working on what changes it would take to make lower-tiered fighters like Link and Donkey Kong as sturdy as Melee’s stronger fighters. Observe, his finished “viable” versions of these two characters:

Comparatively, sometimes it’s fun to see what it takes to push a character into the range of “broken&#8221$$ below, check out his overpowered versions of Pichu and Kirby.

Registration is Open for Salty Circuit, a Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- Online League

If you’re tired of playing random people over the Network Mode and can’t travel much to tournaments, an online Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- league might be your solution. A competitive online league is coming soon for the PS4/PS3 title to match up fighters in North America in team battles. Dubbed “Salty Circuit,” the league is a grassroots effort that’s actively developing, but the sign-ups for the first season are ending soon!

The rules to join this are as following: each team must have three North American members with one designated Team Captain; the tournament is character-locked, so you must stay with the same character through the season; two of the same characters can’t be on the team; and the players will have a week to schedule games with their matched opposing team in a 3v3 round robin, first-to-three. Participants then record the highest number of wins to moderators.

Since it’s an online tournament, not everyone’s connection experience will be perfect, so the rules state to report to moderators if the delay counter in game is eight frames or more. The organizers urge having a wired connection, and have translated an official port-forwarding guide to Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- from Arc System Works.

Sign-ups are open until midnight PST Friday, November 25th. Season 1 will last eight competitive weeks.

“Sign-ups are free, but we are always looking for volunteers to either help organize, record matches, or to join our media projects that will soon be underway,” said TSC|faultydefense, who established Salty Circuit and is one of the moderators. “We’re speaking with a few people about a website or a more official avenue of presenting everything, but we want to move forward for the players as soon as possible, most likely before these avenues are set up. Please support us as we attempt to grow through and after our first season.”

Looking to join or find out more? Follow this Discord invite to get started and ask one of the moderators.
