I wish he would stop saying things like this. Me and all my friends who played Smash 64, Melee, and Brawl back in the day knew nothing about a competitive scene. Yet we got quickly bored of items and stages where you spend more time fighting the stage than fighting the other players. People will...

I think what helps Charizard with comebacks is the fact that: 1) He's heavy and has a difficult to punish recovery, allowing him to live to higher than average percentages. 2) Nearly every one of his moves outside of flamethrower can kill. Combine the two and you get a high percentage...

Christ almighty. It's cause and effect, people. If you don't want a Jigglypuff to ledge stall, then don't laser camp her when you're down in stocks. Her options are only to approach while taking a billion percent, or annoy the fox for annoying her. So instead of complaining about what you see...

Yeah, very true. And marthritis is a melee term to describe Marth's difficulty at killing when the opponent's percentage gets too high. In smash 4, a lot of high-tier characters seem to be getting their kill options nerfed resulting in a great combo game but a problem finishing out the stock...

I agree with most of what you said, but I don't think Charizard has a bad recovery. Unless there's something I don't know about, trying to challenge a flare blitz or dragon rush off stage is dangerous. Both have high priority and one has super armor. And if Charizard is recovering low, fly has a...

DDD is the most resilient character against dying off the top. Yes, Bowser is heavier but DDD falls much faster and fall speed is more of a factor than weight in determining death percents off the top. Long story short: Whatever percent DDD dies from up throw, everyone else is guaranteed to die...

These changes have me super excited. After watching a few matches and seeing Charizard rack up damage from down throws and then destroy stocks at stupid early percents, I am very optimistic about Charizard's competitive future. He might still be lacking tools to help his neutral game, but that's...

Fair is one of those moves I always test out after each patch because of its deceiving visual effect compared to its hitbox. My test usually consists of: Can I hit a standing Kirby with a short hop fair and auto-cancel it? I haven't been able to do this until now. Granted, the spacing is very...

I'm pretty confident that the hitbox on fair has been changed. I don't recall ever being able to hit a standing Kirby with a short hop fair. Fair always felt like the bottom portion of the claw trail was just there for show.

I also main Jiggs, but never get shield-grabbed. Jigglypuff has great aerial mobility allowing her to perform easy fadeaway aerials. Also, like explained in the video, a full hop aerial while rising is completely safe against shield-grabs. You can also do this while fading away and while...

I honestly don't get it. What is the harm of continuing to stream it until you get a cease and desist? If Nintendo sends you one then you drop it. I seriously doubt Nintendo would take legal action on the spot without a direct warning of some kind. If PM got too big for Nintendo to ignore, I'd...

Yoshi is tough, and the super armor on his second jump means we don't get any easy early gimps. I don't have much advice for Yoshi, but for Toon Link here's what I do: First you corner them. So get them with their back to the ledge. Next, it's a guessing game. He wants to get out of the...

Man. That is savage.

Maybe because Smash is really only advertised as a party game? Grabbing three friends (or seven now) and duking it out is more indicative to a party game than a fighting game.

As both an Ike and Puff player, the new Ike buffs are really effective against Puff. The auto-cancelable and faster fair now gives him extra range which makes it difficult for Puff to get in. And just the fact that all of his aerials have range and can kill makes him super dangerous to Puff. His...
