Amiibo Doctor

Amiibo "Doc" Doctor hails from the competitive amiibo tournaments scene. Rather than play Smash normally, he's instead chosen to train amiibo and conduct incredibly in-depth research on their behavior. You'd think he'd get bored of it pretty quick, but after 5 years of research and intense analysis, he's still learning new things, and he teaches others about them on his Youtube channel!
If you're not the video type, there's always the Amiibo Doctor website, which hosts the amiibo tier list, amiibo training guides written by the best trainers in the world, and much more.

Was Piranha Plant planned as a non-DLC character?
- 4,473

It’s no surprise to diehard Smash fans that Smash development is an arduous process. Planned characters are cut, others thrown in at the last minute, and occasionally entire modes are withheld for a DLC release. With this history in mind, I propose that Piranha Plant was planned for Super Smash Bros Ultimate’s initial fighters roster, but wasn’t finished until later.

Do we still need IRL Melee Tournaments?

The release of Project Slippi, the rollback-enabled netplay option for Super Smash Bros Melee, has opened up the possibilities for online tournaments. Project Slippi enables nearly-lagless online play across internet connections, with little regard to the actual internet speed of each competitor. This demands the question: do we still need Melee tournaments to be held in-person?
In order to start this conversation concisely and with precision, I’ll list out the negatives of the two most obvious options - in-person tournaments on traditional Melee setups versus online tournaments on Project Slippi setups. There are alternatives in-between these two, but beginning with binary options allows for a common reference point.

- Will be delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic
