What exactly gives Meta Knight an edge over Sheik? Some of Sheik's strengths are less effective...like ledge guarding for instance, but MK doesn't really have many tools to ledge guard Sheik either from what I can tell. His aerials are multihits I guess which makes the one frame easier, but the...

I'd actually like to hear more about who people think will win paragon now that Zero is taking a break. My bets: Most likely--Esam. Hes improved the most lately. I honestly think he'll win. Second--Nairo. Maybe not second and more like third but...I'm a fanboy. Third--Mr. R. He took out...

Meta Knight is actually a fair counter argument. I don't actually know nearly enough about him to say where I think that matchup will go, but if he ends up being an actual counter to sheik (not a 50, 50 counter, but a flat out 60, 40 or more in his favor) then I will concede that it's probably...

I'm not trying to say sheik is an easy character, she isn't. Far from. That doesn't change the fact that at a high level she doesn't have a single losing matchup while every other top tier does. You're right about the meta being young and we should work to advance it rather than complain--hell...

I think it was M2K who once said something along the lines of "brawl wasn't Meta Knight's fault, it was everyone else's" (feel free to blow me up if I'm misquoting/quoting the wrong person). I was never much into competitive brawl outside of finding it interesting to spectate sometimes, but meta...

My opinion on this whole customs/no customs thing has been going back and forth for a while. When I was first introduced to the idea I thought "Ganondorf has an approach option?" "Bowser has a movement option/extra combo tool?" "Customs are AWESOME." And so much of me wants customs to be a...

Wait there are still people in support of customs after this? Top 32 was pretty damn depressing. I was sort of neutral on the issue but after watching that I'm not sure. And judging by the response on twitter it sounds like there is an even louder opposing voice to customs--many of them top...

I suppose when you put falcon's options in the perspective of someone who mains a low tier character falcon can seem absolutely ridiculous. Still, I feel the amount of options and freedom falcon has while having such obvious and exploitable weaknesses is pretty damn awesome and I kind of whish...

I just don't see how captain falcon winning locals and for glory matches at all justifies a nerf. Sure, some of his stuff is stupidly strong against players who don't understand how to not get dash grabbed in neutral (I'll give you a hint, don't get read) and I know a lot of low and mid tier...

Okay I was wrong you do know what you're talking about to some degree (and hell, you might be better than me with how little I've been practicing, so no shots), but I don't agree with everything you've said here. Using raptor boost as an approaching mix up to cover spot dodges and rolls rarely...

Though to make things clear, I actually kind of like this change to falcon. Up air kills were sort of cheesy in my opinion and made newer players' lives a lot harder as they don't always understand how to combo di or that air dodging isn't always the best way to escape a combo. Captain Falcon...

Falcon's up air used to combo out of down throw at kill percents when players had bad di. Stomp to up air was also a pretty amazing combo (despite being situational) that also would kill, now it stops comboing before the opponent reaches kill percents. Up air was also just an amazing kill option...

Can we just talk about how crazy and technical grandfinals was? Both players came close to zero deathing each other multiple times, I saw a lot of combos I didn't know existed. Had Zero's combo and survival di not been on point he would have been dead after every one of nairo's grabs. Zero...

Its like the gods are falling. Mango just isn't playing as well as he used to it seems, M2K says he doesn't even want to go to Evo, PPMD has been hiding in the mountains or something and HBox seems to be falling off in skill as well. Armada is the only god who seems to be rapidly improving and...

I don't mean this as an argument, I'm genuinely curious. In Melee, battlefield, yoshi's story, dream land and fountain of dreams are all legal stages despite having a very similar layout to battlefield. Why are all of these stages legal when we're debating about legalizing dreamland and miiverse...
