This is a really good maneuver when you grapple (even if it's a sweetspot) and the opponent (especially if it's a spacee or Marth) grabs the edge before you can reel in. The walljump gives you 14 frames of invincibility to avoid crap, and you can immediately act out of it. However, as you...

I think we solidly disagree on key points in the MU, probably on how significant those points actually are at making ROB win/lose the MU. SH uair also beats CC, btw, although it's definitely a lot harder to uair a ROB who keeps on moving. I still think it is really easy to just shield on...

I think we lose slightly (-1) against Mario and Fox. Mario beats us in the mid-range boxing game. We may out-range him in terms of tilts, but he can safely throw out fsmash and dsmash to counter those tilts. Mario also isn't as easy to juggle as you think. He can cape and B-reverse fireball...

This is from a little while ago, but I figured I might as well post it. I play ROB games 1 and 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVVIp0V3XZQ Bubbaking (ROB, DK) vs JAHN (Wolf) I would greatly appreciate any critique, especially during game 3 which I almost choked away, lolz.

You didn't say that on the Samus boards. :p ROB:Lucario is +1 for ROB. Not only does Lucario have a lot of trouble with zoning, which ROB is good at, but he is very susceptible to CC if he chooses the wrong attack string, which is pretty hard to react with. Also, he has an extremely hard...

I looked at the first game. This was what I noticed: 0:36 - That was a really bad ftilt. Peach could have n/baired you OoS for that easily regardless of where on the stage you were, and because you pushed her off the side she was facing, she could do those or uair without having to worry...

You are not CCing with the goal of directly landing a crouch-cancel counter (CCC), such as dsmash. You are CCing so that you are not knocked down and can immediately chase Sonic as he passes through/bounces off of you. Our OoS options are bad, so shielding Sonic's pressure doesn't do much for...

I was only able to look at the first game, unfortunately. This is what I noticed. I handled this analysis a little bit differently from how I usually do it in that I wrote both my specific and general observations in real-time as the match progressed (usually I only write my specific...

I see what you're saying, and I guess the MU definitely isn't a +3 for us. However, I would still think it's a +2. We may not '0-to-death' Bowser, but we still combo him pretty hard, especially on platform tech-chases. At long range, we can still camp him fairly hard, and closer than that...

I agree with Tobb about Zard and Sonic. On top of what he already said, Zard has a great grab game to take advantage of our terrible OoS game, and between uthrow and bthrow > fair/usmash tech-chase on plat, he can kill us fairly early. Also, he can easily respond to use trying to boost in just...

3 frames of jumpsquat, but yeah, I see what you're saying. OK. I had just assumed that since it was a rapid multi-hit aerial, it could circumvent CC and 'combo' into grab, or at least allow Pit to shield, similarly to a drill. Missiles can easily be clanked with, and IIRC, arrows can clank as...

I don't really play against Jiggs much, and I've never done the MU in tournament, but I would surmise that Jiggs:Samus is close to even, maybe slight Jiggs advantage. In Melee, it's one of Samus' worst MUs, but Samus gets some pretty good tools in PM. Ice usmash alone probably makes things way...

Welp! Was gonna watch your set today to critique, Litt (been busy with stuff lately), but I saw that someone else already gave you a pretty sizable write-up.

Sorry, I actually didn't see that post. I'll take a look at your sets. Good stuff making it to GFs!

I would suggest working on your mobility a little bit. A lot of your movement looked sluggish to me. 0:04 - Not sure if this was an error in trying to input another special here, but a missile was both a bad punish and a punish that shouldn't have worked. With a turnip in her hand, Peach...
