Just released v3.5.1 which addresses some issues from yesterday's release. Read the linked patch notes for further details. github.com/project-slip...

Slippi version 3.5.0 is out. ✅ Stadium can now be unfrozen. Unfrozen is now the default in Ranked / Unranked ✅ You rank will now display on the Ranked CSS and animate with changes. Opponent's rank is visible in the setup screen. Both can be disabled. github.com/project-slip...

SPIF x SLIPPI ONLINE DROP SUNDAY, 6.8.25 3pm Eastern/12pm Pacific - Jackets - Tees - Hats - Coasters - Keystraps STOCK IS LIMITED. Good luck

Finished a 2 month long Slippi backend migration. Hoping the changes lead to better reliability, improved security, lower costs, and less concerns about new features potentially overloading the servers. I hastily wrote about it in a Medium post for those interested. medium.com/project-slip...

Any UX designers interested in contributing to Slippi? Looking to add a ranked match history page to the launcher. Would be great to have some mocks I can work from. Can message me here or on Discord.

Cool visualizations of different netcode options! Definitely have to respect the amount of effort it takes to make a thread like this.

Ranked Season 3 is live! Track the progress of the players here: slippi.gg/leaderboards The season will run for 6 months.

I’ve tried quite hard to find good vegan ramen in NYC and nothing has compared to my favorite spots in SF. Best SF spots imo are Nojo, Mensho, and Hinodeya. So far in NYC maybe Danbo is best but it’s not in the same tier.

Slippi Nintendont 1.13.0 is a must-update for TOs and players alike, finally enabling true and reliable power-on + walk-away autobooting. Changes include: - Fix black screen freeze on boot - Boot hotswap without USB drive - Optionally disable Freeze Glitch - Fix booting from USB dl + details ⬇️

There is one week remaining on the current Ranked season! It will end on April 21st some time in the morning eastern time. After the season transitions it will take roughly 3 hours for the placements to be locked in as there might be lingering matches. Good luck finalizing your ratings!

The Hax memorial profile page is live. I hope it honors his legacy well. Huge thanks to Alexandre Misson for the assets. They really make it feel more special. And thanks to Aklo and foxygrandpa for their input in making sure we got things right. View it here: slippi.gg/user/xx-02

I'm working with Aklo and foxygrandpa to best honor Hax on Slippi. Hax loved Melee and likely played more Slippi than anyone. It then feels apt to give him a permanent custom ranked profile page. While we work on that though, please use this new free chat message while playing online.

Welcome to the Melee players moving over from Twitter. Hopefully we can continue to amass more activity on here. I'm browsing it far more than Twitter these days.

Just finished migrating a majority of the Slippi ranked reporting logic from dgraph to firestore. I'm actually pretty excited about the prospect of migrating everything off of dgraph. I think it would improve speed, reliability, and cost. All big wins.

Slippi appears to be having some server issues at the moment. Looking into it. May cause issues queueing, reporting, and probably other things too.

Alright I think this is fixed. Might have been one of the dumbest things I've ever debugged tbh. I still don't really fully understand what happened and I kind of just worked around the issue.

There appears to be a small subset of users having issues with some Slippi services. Seems to include failing to report ranked results, logging in at all, etc. I'm looking into it.

The answer to this was NO Fox's laser cannot phantom hit, or at least, it doesn't do any damage when it does. The following clip is modified to increase the phantom threshold so basically everything phantoms. See my guesses on the reasons in the replies.

Melee trivia question: Does Fox's laser do any phantom hit damage?

Thanks @frankborden.bsky.social for letting me know this is actually every move. My assumption is that it's all hitboxes that aren't the grabber's. One interesting impact of this is for example Falco's dthrow lasers actually do half the damage they're configured to do since they're projectiles.

Maybe it's because I'm not a big doubles player but I'm somewhat surprised I did not know that projectiles hitting a grabbed fighter cause half damage?

Really optimistic for the future of startgg. This is likely the best possible outcome we could have hoped for.

We’re excited to announce that, starting today, Start.gg will be returning to its roots as an independent company supporting grassroots and professional esports communities. You can learn more in our article below: blog.start.gg/start-gg-ret...

Pre-orders for the SPIF x Slippi shop are ending soon. This shop has some awesome items and if you want to guarantee getting them, make sure to check it out within the next couple days. You can access the shop from the Slippi Launcher. Or go to spif.space/slippi

This whole splitting the title at the Chess Blitz World Championship reminds me of the earlier days of Melee where people would split the 1st place prize money at locals. I did it once myself and vowed never to do it again. It sucks for everyone involved imo. Basically just collusion.

I'm very excited about this set of products! Was a pleasure working with SPIF on this. The attention to detail throughout the entire process was great to see. Hope you all enjoy.

SPIF x SLIPPI Are you ready? 1.5 days left! SPIF.space/slippi 👹x🐸

We're opening the box... SPIF x SLIPPI is coming! Here's a thread of all the items available to order starting Xmas day. Rumor has it you can access the drop early somehow though... SPIF [DOT] SPACE [/] SLIPPI 👹x🐸

It feels like forever since I've seen game feed quality this good. I've missed it. Thanks Level1 ♥️

I much prefer my discover feed here to the one on Twitter but what’s up with the posts with long lists of interests? I assume it’s so those people get content about those things but it’s not very interesting content when I’m scrolling.

Just ran into a somewhat interesting phantasm interaction. Someone let me know if this was already known but either way I'm sure it'll be new to many. During the "zip" portion of phantasm, Falco moves 16.5 units per frame for 3 frames for 49.5 total units... usually.

ICYMI last year I created the first Slippi community VPN for the Philippines to solve their ISP-inflicted p2p connectivity and ping issues. The cost? $6/month This can be replicated for other countries or in university settings, you can read how I did it here: discuss.smash.today/@jmlee337/11...

Is the Melee community moving here? I'm so down.
