Fly Guys have propellers on their heads. In Melee we have “Propeller Shy Guys”. https://mario.fandom.com/wiki/Propeller_Shy_Guy15 Feb 2026 04:11 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3meuo5tc5pc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lwbsd3fb4c22Just released v3.5.1 which addresses some issues from yesterday's release. Read the linked patch notes for further details. https://github.com/project-slippi/Ishiiruka/releases/tag/v3.5.113 Aug 2025 12:12 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwbsd3fb4c22https://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lw7utbtrok2eSlippi 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. https://github.com/project-slippi/Ishiiruka/releases/tag/v3.5.012 Aug 2025 17:52 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lw7utbtrok2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lp7vlaqks22lFinished 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. https://medium.com/project-slippi/slippi-backend-migration-25044d3129ab15 May 2025 16:09 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp7vlaqks22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lnitlkp7x22zAny 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.23 Apr 2025 18:37 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnitlkp7x22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lndzyxshb225Cool visualizations of different netcode options! Definitely have to respect the amount of effort it takes to make a thread like this.

Track the progress of the players here: slippi.gg/leaderboards The season will run for 6 months.21 Apr 2025 14:26 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lndeny47ss2shttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3ln54gsicsk24I’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.19 Apr 2025 02:43 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3ln54gsicsk24https://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lmrzvqemtc27There 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!14 Apr 2025 16:58 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmrzvqemtc27https://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lmabxfd3jc2oThe 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-0207 Apr 2025 15:35 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmabxfd3jc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3llenzlabrc2uI'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.27 Mar 2025 15:56 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3llenzlabrc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lldkxtzaos2cWelcome 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.27 Mar 2025 05:29 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lldkxtzaos2chttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lkqpvykfws25Just 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.19 Mar 2025 17:36 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkqpvykfws25https://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3ljeesjtj5c23Slippi appears to be having some server issues at the moment. Looking into it. May cause issues queueing, reporting, and probably other things too.02 Mar 2025 02:21 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljeesjtj5c23https://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3lisnxmrvp22mAlright 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.

Seems to include failing to report ranked results, logging in at all, etc. I'm looking into it.22 Feb 2025 17:20 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lirtdbgiu22fhttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3limqno67ps23The 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.

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.

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.

I did it once myself and vowed never to do it again. It sucks for everyone involved imo. Basically just collusion.01 Jan 2025 22:09 +0000at://did:plc:tchifnajftzptk6hdmvzccgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lepl7uoc3k2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/fizzi36.bsky.social/post/3le5imrj4bk2kI'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.
