    To combo with marth?

    It's all pretty much muscle memory of what move to use off knowing opponent's percentage, following their DI after being hit, and so on. For example, upthrow a fox onto a platform. To get that shorthop upair to follow three out of four of his tech options you need to actually delay the fast...

    Getting into Melee. What should I know?

    You should expect to get rolled, but try to get into your local scene anyway and learn a character and their matchups (commonly referred to as "MUs". (This is if you've already learned the basics of movement and tech like wavedashing, dashdancing, l-canceling, etc. If not, give it a quick...

    Will Playing Sm4sh Make You Worse at Melee?

    I found that playing Sm4sh didn't affect my melee gameplay to a great extent. I often forget I can airdodge safely in Smash 4 and I also frequently try to l-cancel, but aside from that I'm able to think of the games as different and adapt. The biggest differences in gameplay in my opinion are...

    Critique my Marth against a 20XX Fox CPU!

    Yo Smashboards, I'm here with some nice 1080p footage of my second go at beating the 20XX Fox CPU. The idea is that I'll take critique from multiple places (I posted my video first in Melee Hell) and then, after getting as much feedback as possible, I will train until I can fourstock the 20XX...

    What should I practice when grinding?

    Well, I main Marth and Falco so I like to go either Yoshi's, FD or Battlefield and practice zero-to-death combos and Out-of-shine stuff as well as platform cancels and the like. I also set percentage to 40 as marth because that's usually where chaingrabs end and ken combos can begin.

    Marth colours

    White marth is actually pretty sick, I've been using it for over a year now, I guess because no one else apart from The Moon does (that I know of). I like all of the skins apart from green a lot though anyway. PM has a purple skin that's dope.

    Help on Comboing/Punish Game

    I think the best thing is to take your gameplay learning slow and not worry too much if you can't chain more than two aerials together. If you've watched the Smash Bros documentary, Mew2King makes a point that whenever he gets a hit, he wants to take it as far as he possibly can, as seen in that...

    A New Challenger Approaches

    Welcome to the boards! I have Robin as a secondary as well. There's some really sick melee-esque combos you can do with her/him in Sm4sh. Enjoy your time here, I'll see you round.

    What type of Smash character do you like best?

    I love Ike's concept in PM and Sm4sh: a slow heavyweight that relies on reads to win. And he's ripped af. In melee I love Fox and Falco's voice quotes "TORYAH" and the ever amazing "MISSION ACOMPREE", but my playstyle definitely suits Marth most of the time. I play a mean Dr. Mario and Ice...

    Hungrybox wins Battle of the Five Gods -- Full Results and Payouts

    Liquid's a well known gaming organization i.e a team. In SSBM it's more of a sponsor but I know Liquid by their Dota 2 and CSGO teams, so it's actually quite universal. Like (C9) Mango (Cloud 9's one of the best CSGO teams in the world, and they expanded into SSBM and hired Mango). Hope this helps.

    What games have you 100% completed?

    Poker Night 2 on steam is the only game on PC that I have a 100% achievement rate on, I have all solo achievements for Portal 2 (which amounts to about 80% of them) as you need a co-op partner to get the rest. If Mario Kart DS had achievements I would have 100%. I have three gold stars on every...

    Music you listen to while playing Smash

    I don't have a specific playlist for bracket or training, but I usually listen to electronica/alternative artists such as Flume, Gorillaz, and many specific songs from different artists (Tighten Up by the Black Keys is an example - I don't listen to their music much, just that song). I also...

    How do I get 20XX?

    Good luck on training. I don't personally think there's anything too important to know, this sums it up pretty well: http://i.imgur.com/YbOvw80.png
