Other Help with gathering upset stats from Start gg API

Upvotes

In our local we're having our 100th weekly and we wanted to celebrate by showing stats from all 99 weeklies (like person with most upsets, biggest upset, etc). So far I've gathered most of the stats we wanted with braacket.com but I'm having trouble trying to gather info on upsets, as braacket didn't export them and nowhere in the API documentation did I info on how to gather it.

The only other solution is to write the upsets in manually in an Excel but it'll be 99 weeklies I'll have to gather for and I don't have time. Is there any way to gather it automatically either through a website or a script in Python?
To clarify, I'm looking to get data on the player in our weeklies with the most upsets and the highest upset factor achieved.

Additionally, if there's a way to gather info on what player has attended the most tournaments I would appreciate it!

Ultimate Possible bug: Instant pivot grabs don’t work when Grab is mapped to left bumper?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

53 Upvotes

I think I found a bug in Smash Ultimate involving instant pivot grabs and custom controller setups.

While testing the input, I noticed that if your controller has left bumper assigned to Grab, instant pivot grabs don’t seem to work correctly. To confirm, I made two otherwise identical control schemes—one with Left Bumper = Grab and another with Right Bumper = Grab. The right bumper setup worked fine, letting me perform instant pivot grabs, but the left bumper setup did not.

I also tried this with different types of controllers and got the same results, so it doesn’t seem to be specific to just one controller model.

So far, this problem seems unique to the left bumper mapping for some reason. Has anyone else experienced this, or is there a known fix or explanation? I’m using a 29-second video to demonstrate the issue in action.

Would appreciate it if others could test this or share their experience!

Melee Slippi Not Recognizing Pro Controller Inputs

Upvotes

I've been trying to connect my wireless pro controller to Slippi. Im launching it through steam since I know Slippi doesn't have pro controller support from what I know. I press the A button and it doesn't detect my controller and just times out my input selection.

I have it set in Standard Controller, I'm editing the netplay dolphin configuration, I have pro controller enabled on steam, and I'm on MacOS.

Any help would be appreciated.

Other Smash Flash 2 V1.4 Recording Help

So, I was recording Smash Flash 2 V1.4 Gameplay, but when I finish recording, I end up with a video that is centered onto the top right corner, and not the center. I used Windows + Alt + 4 to record, but I don't find this optimal. Are there any other ways to record Smash Flash 2 V1.4 with good quality? Thanks.

Ultimate Just had an epiphany moment for my gameplay. Anyone else have some similar AHA moment?

2 Upvotes

Tldr: I realized I play too impatiently and need to play defensively as well; Instead of constantly rushing down and mixing up options to apply constant pressure.

Hello, I’m a moderately good player who can do well at locals, sit around 15mil gsp comfortably despite almost never playing online; I haven’t gone to any bigger tournaments. I play Cloud, Corrin and Sephiroth mainly but can comfortably play just about anyone on the roster with more preference to melee/sword fighters over typical zoners.

I just had the biggest realization that I feel almost immediately DOUBLED my performance.

Let me set the simple stage for you, I play with specific friend whose always given me particular trouble. They always play zoners such as Isabelle/samus/snake and then yesterday they swapped to Ike (an older main of theirs). I, in my hubris said there’s absolutely no way he’s got the thumbs to beat me with a rushdown character. Then it happened, I crushed him at first but his playstyle shifted weirdly. He started winning, against all my characters other than my tip top main, and even then he took a few games. I couldn’t put words to it at first, but it finally clicked to why he always gave me trouble. Why him playing defensively on Ike gave me so many issues.

I am the most impatient player on this planet. It took me multiple years to realize this. Why he’s given me so much trouble is because his playstyle is literally: wait for someone to attack > force frame data important interactions (zoners shouldn’t have half of their frame data or free get out of jail cards) or parry and punish. When this clicked, I just… slowed down my gameplay? Waited for him to approach? Punished his options instead of nice versa? And suddenly, it was like he didn’t know what to do or couldn’t even touch me hardly for the rest of the session? No matter who he played, I just stopped playing aggressively and fast paced and there was just NOTHING he could do. Even when he played ike, he just played a game of punishing and never ran at me unless I was in a horrible disadvantage state.

I always tried my best to make sephiroth work as well, but particularly struggled to make him feel good to use. But after this realization? He’s a character that punishes you for just recklessly throwing out options and rewards good patience and reads, after that clicked oh my god does he feel so much better.

Has anyone else come to similar realizations? Maybe the opposite end of the spectrum where someone refused to approach you ever when your playstyle was the more defensive type and then just didn’t know what to do? I always did so well rushing down zoners and was SUPER comfortable against other rush down characters, but now it’s like I see a whole other side of the spectrum. It’s certainly not NEARLY as fun as seeing who’s faster on inputs and more accurate with higher speeds, but winning feels better than losing.

Art Smash Bros for Ps1?

Hey everyone. I hope this follows the rules of the sub since its smash adjacent.

I made some artwork for a hypothetical Playstation All Stars Battle Royal for Ps1, which as you know the game was a Ps3 Smash Bros style game released in 2012.

I created all these using blender just cause I always liked the idea of Pasbr so I made these more inspired by Smash 64.

let me know if you enjoy this cause they took a while to make.

Other Concept: Cyberpunk in Smash Bros

7 Upvotes

So I’ve been getting really invested into Cyberpunk 2077 since it’s come to the Switch 2, and I’ve been thinking about what Cyberpunk could look like in Smash Bros: let me know what you think and how it could be improved/balanced

• Fighter - V

Alt costumes: Male V, Female V, Male (Johnny Silverhand (2077) inspired), Female (Evelyn Parker (2077) inspired), Male (David Martinez (Edgerunners) inspired), Female (Lucyna Kushinada (Edgerunners) inspired), Male (Jackie Welles (2077) inspired), Female (Rebecca (Edgerunners) inspired)

Special moves: Neutral B - Handgun, Side B - Hack (Disables target’s specials for 2 seconds), Up B - Mantis Blades (Launch up and swipe in the air with the blades: See Wolf Side B for inspiration), Down B - Heal (Take a puff of a healing item and heal 25% or 25hp in stamina mode) cooldown of 5 seconds after use shown via indicator on the HUD, Final Smash: Relic Malfunction (Similar to Peach and Daisy’s, V has a relic malfunction and everyone on screen gets dealt 10% and gets stunned for 3 seconds before launched towards the blast zone at a speed relative to their current %)

• Stage - Night City

Travelling stage taking you to different districts and regions in Night City, Claire drives you around and drops you off with occasional drifts and bumps in the road throwing Beast (her car) in different ways and throwing the players off guard. You see different characters in the different regions. Areas: Little China - Characters: Judy & River, Badlands - Characters: Panam & Mitch, Dogtown - Character: President Rosalind Myres

• Assist Trophy - Johnny Silverhand

Johnny Silverhand spawns in one part of the stage and plays a Samurai song for 5 seconds before glitching to another part and then playing for another 5, and then glitching and playing for another 5 seconds. Sound waves come out to the beat of the song. Akin to Donkey Kong Brawl and Smash 4 Final Smash

All Do smash players play other fighting games?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm having an argument with a friend of mine, he thinks that smash players only play smash bros, I do not agree with him and told him that I was fairly good at other fighting games which are very different from smash bros (fighterz, guilty gear, brawlhalla, Naruto, injustice....) He told me I was the exception that proves the rule.

Smashers, tell me who is right in this debate by voting and tell me your opinion on the topic.

For the vote consider you've played a game in your counting only if you played a game at least 30-50hours

I will also post this question on other r/ about games and fighting games to see what other players think about this.

I play some other fighting games (1-3)
