pretty shameful video. ganondorf players are blatantly racist and deserve no attention in the smash community. thought we were better than this.

I just like that melee has two ball-shaped characters and they chose to use kick the shit out of the embodiment of evil instead

Some of the most hype crowds I've ever been a part of were not watching regular bracket matches but rather with Dorfball. Try and get your local scene to run it as a side event so you can experience it :) It's fast paced full of reversals and reverse hits which leads to dozens of KOs in minutes. It can be enjoyed at any skill level and doesn't need any mods **Ganon taunts** to be played!

Shoutout to woley for the prestigious second place at bighouse in a side event maybe next year!

I remember playing Dorfball at locals in West Michigan in 2017-18, never thought I'd see it years later at TBH with the same people from those locals like Anasazi, Woley and Nyte.

This actually sounds like a cool idea. I’m always looking for other game modes to mess around with. I think it helps a lot when one person in a friend group is way better in a game than the others, because then it isn’t lopsided.

Yo wake up. The legend uploaded again

I love that smash caters to all sorts of crowds: competitive, casuals, and parties (either house rules or in game).

Never even knew that Dorfball was a thing. This is perhaps one of the most creative things in smash melee I've seen. It allows for player expressions with fancy combos and what have you. I think this should be right there with those combo displays with smash64

I liked volleyball but it was hard lol! Loved watching good players make it work but it was way too much to keep track of for me to be able to do anything in it.

oh, cool. i played a lot of “smash-ketball” or whatever people called it back in brawl’s release, with it’s custom maps. cute that melee did something like that.

We created a game about 17 years ago where you have 2 (or even 3) Kirby players and one Captain Falcon NPC. At the beginning of the game Kirbies compete to swallow the Captain Falcon in order to get the hat and the Falcon Punch ability. Only one Kirby is allowed to have the hat at a time, and that Kirby tries to get kills on the other Kirby (or Kirbies) with a Falcon Punch. Only kills with the Kirby Punch count. Killing the Captain Falcon doesn't count either. You can swallow the Kirby with the hat to steal the hat, but once a Kirby has the hat you can't swallow the Captain Falcon again until the falcon Kirby dies or the hat is lost.

a gamemode we played is poketrainer battles. both pick ness and only pokeballs spawn with high spawnrates. u divide any stage by 2 to give each player a half. you can only use balls that are on your side or exactly on the object/ landmark that is the border betweeen your halfs. venom is the best map in my experience. why ness? coz you can hit balls with the baseball bat giving it another layer but it takes skill to pull of. variations like adding food or other specific items are possible to mix it up. just dont add to much or the gamemode suddenly is throw sh*t at each other
