    I'm on my phone so I'm too lazy to post the link but Isai has a video on his YouTube titled something like "rat dittos for intermediate players" in which he explains how to di pika uair chains. In the end it's always situational and will depend on a few different factors. In terms of Kirby...

    As captain falcon, the post below you has an effective way to edge guard. Boomfan once told me in the skype group awhile back that if he can't get the ledge hog in time he will try a dsmash. As yoshi I've seen players do a jump nair to trade with the mario's upb and then return to the stage with...

    I love this type of information. However, I would suggest that pressing shield (for 3 frames or less) also has a higher chance of being an incorrect input in terms of holding it down too long. I personally feel like sometimes, grabbing is easier to correctly input in order to stop your...

    Is Samus viable in a team match?

    I don't really play Samus very much, but the general consensus is that Samus is a much better teams character than she is in a 1v1 environment. Not sure what she would be ranked as in a teams tier list.

    Any Yoshi's care to comment on their method of activating super armor in deadly situations? Do you time it or mash all 4 jump buttons?

    How do I consistently ledge cancel when recovering with pikachus upb? Is it based on the characters position on the screen when recovering, the angle that you upb to it from, do I let the joystick go back to neutral for the extended upb or is it more consistent with just a normal upb? Any input...

    Practice makes perfect, as always. The dair>uair is all a matter of timing. When I was practicing it while hitting the cpu in training, I was counting how many drills there are (I think its like 7ish) and learned how to time it from that. I use the slide from c to a method and z cancel it...

    N64 Controllers discussion

    If you are still coming by to play in a few days and you aren't able to fix the controller in the meantime I can help you when you get here. I've probably taken apart and put back together like 25 controllers at this point. I also have the most recommended grease rather than that crappy white...

    Ask @KnitePhox for his qualified opinion. He is very helpful when it comes to technology from my experience.

    If you use original 64 controllers, you could always look for a new one. A controller with a good quality joystick shouldn't be more than like $25-35. Key search terms: "original n64 tight joystick" usually gives me a nice list of original controllers. You just have to be very vigilant...

    N64 Controllers discussion

    Other than Boom keeping an extra ungreased controller for tournaments (better DI apparently), any ssb64 player who respects their controllers will grease them to extend their life as much as possible. The amount of damage months and months of intense DI can do to an ungreased joystick will mean...

    I find using the A button no problem at all. I switch between Z and R for z cancelling some fast falls though.
