Finally on BlueSky! I'm a member of Houseof3000, a competitive video game production business thing. Oh yeah also I won the 2015 Nintendo World Championships or something lmao
I'm not sure if it's weird to put up eBay listings or not, but here: www.ebay.com/itm/37657837...

I've been wanting to offload my physical collection for digital for a while, so yeah!

And as a bonus, I'll even throw in some JOHN NUMBERS WORLD CHAMP TRADING CARDS for whoever gets it.

So the topic of 'Top FIFTY Favorite Pokemon' came up one day.

Another quite cool sequence 👍

Here's a fine sequence that I thought had some pretty cool movement and callouts to it.

For those who don't play Rivals, when Kragg is holding a rock, he can't be put into tumble, giving you access to the fakest crap imaginable.

(Plus 1 cool sequence I hit later on that day.)

Here's that "Joy of Movement" I was talking about earlier. #RivalsofAether2 #RoA2

After simply being able to enjoy the freedom of movement Maypul provides, getting double dunks is definitely my second-favorite thing about this character.

The clip itself isn't too crazy, but I think this is the first time I've ever successfully used Maypul's DownB to turn a fast fall Uair, into the fastest fall Uair

Two decently neat sequences, y'know I guess for a Smash player lmao

On the first clip, though, using Terry for this really specific tech chase seems really cool when it actually goes off correctly.

So apparently, when you parry Fleet's Dair, back upwards, it still spikes her. Reminds me of how a reflected Mega Man Dair would do the same thing.

A very practical way to deal with a common Etalus maneuver that never ceases to be hilarious.

I should start posting #RivalsofAether2 clips; I really would like more Smash players to get into playing this!

This clip isn't anything too crazy, I just wanted to make sure the recording technology worked. Definitely highlights the perils of Air Armada even for Kragg, though.

Also, Maypul Ftilt

Sure why not; Top 10 Games for 2024!

Of course, I've played Snake Eater and Ultimate before 2024. But the MGS HD Collection let me get re-acquainted with the former, and competing in the latter has an allure that warrants it still being on the list.

Huge S/O to In Stars and Time too. Go play it!

To those unaware, and especially those in the Smash community, #RivalsofAether2 has recently released.

I cannot recommend this game enough; it is the only platform fighter, aside from Smash, to get my World Chump seal of approval. (I do recognize the other platfighters have merits too.)

I've been meaning to gush about this game for a while now, so here we go.

In Stars and Time is a fantastically written RPG about an adventurer trapped in a time loop near the end of his journey. The overall story is incredibly gripping from start to finish, and the characters-

This technique is really consistent and really easy and ROBs shouldn't be winning neutral for free just because the Gyro is sitting there.

If the Gyro is far away, just run all the way up, stop, and then
perform your initial dash.

Landing on it with Nairdodge is effective, too.

Step 3: You've picked up the Gyro! This works for two reasons:

- When Jab is hidden in your initial dash, the item grab hitbox activates at your feet, and the fighter will push that hitbox forward as they move.
- Picking up an item is an action that can cancel your initial dash.
September 28, 2024 at 8:51 PM
Step 2: Before your initial dash finishes, or gets hit by Gyro, perform a Jab so it's hidden in your buffer. Do not do a Dash Attack, don't do an Ftilt; just make sure Jab specifically is in your buffer for when the initial dash ends.

I know I keep posting about this, but maybe some visual examples would be helpful.

Please tag any top players who might need this info.

HOW TO PICK UP ROB'S GYRO

Step 1: Perform an initial dash that will make you get hit by the Gyro. Do NOT run; it *must* be an initial dash.

Sure why not.

In SMB2’s Dream Run, you can get a double jump if you jump right before running into a Shy Guy. It takes a little practice, but it’s not too difficult, and certainly saves time over having to charge a super jump to get to the top floor.

1st time uploading a vid to Bsky, how exciting!

I got the WR in the Legendary Trial! That's some official World Champ gaming right there 👍

I'm still trying to improve the run; a sub-21:50 would probably be about as far as I can go. But for now, this time is quite excellent. (Vid link below)

And there we have it; a handsome time on #NintendoWorldChampionshipsNES Legendary Trial, AND I remembered to record it (link below) and submit it to Speedrun for a 4th place finish👍

With my current skills and strategies, a perfect run can definitely get this past the 3rd place-

#NintendoWorldChampionshipsNES times for WCS #3 and 4.

Even though it was very easy, I finally landed a Top 1 time 👍
August 13, 2024 at 6:52 AM
Okay I REALLY need to start recording these runs, I’m starting to run out of things to try optimizing lmao

At the least, this is within striking distance of the WR; currently a 21:58
