I'm having trouble with installing the 4.0 update. i downloaded the root files, but when i tried to open the gcr, all i got was a message that there was a problem reading it and that it was incomplete. what am i supposed to do about this? im using a mac if that makes any difference. i already...

Question, will the guide on the opening post written by hectohertz still work for getting 20xx onto my wii? nothing has changed has it? also, the guide says the wii MUST be on Ver. 4.3. My wii says it is on Ver. 4.3U. will that make any difference? sorry if these are stupid questions, im just...

Yeah i did start this year. And like i said in my opening post, i don't really expect to beat people who have been doing this for forever, that isn't really why i'm here asking for help. What it is is that i think i have a real mental problem with looking at the game in the wrong way and so i...

Hey everybody, thanks a ton for the advice. the videos you've recommended actually seem super helpful. i'll start to try looking at things the way it talks about them, being aware of potential actions my opponent can take at a given moment and spacing. i definitely need to just try in my mind to...

hey everybody! im a marth main who's fairly new to the smash scene, been doing this for a few months now and i really love the game. but i really really hate losing. i know nobody like losing, so thats not really news. i also know that i cant realistically expect to come in after a few months...

Hey Guys! so I'm trying to remove the project M data from my SD card, and my computer (a macbook air) wont let me do it. i try to drag the files to the trash and i get an error message saying that the files cant be deleted. if tried to reformat it through disk utility and that hast worked...

Hey Scottbatman24! welcome to Smash! I'm pretty new myself but i wanted to say welcome and good luck in your local scene (if you dont know where yours is, check the facebook links here on SmashBoards) Really basic techniques to learn are L-cancelling, wavedashing, dashdancing and for another one...

Hey guys. I'm a pretty new Marth main making my way into my local smash scene for the last few months and, like any new player, my losses dramatically out number my wins. I get that thats the way it goes and I certainly don't expect it to change over night, but the most frustrating thing about...

I finally got a video of myself playing. This particular match is against a Peach and its actually one of my better matches. Obviously I'm just starting to learn so any comments or advice anyone has to give me would be much appreciated. I know my Marth needs a lot of work. I rarely think about...

So as an extremely new Marth, one of the many bad habits I've noticed in my own play is dash attacking. I know enough to know that Dash Attack is nearly always a bad option so I'm looking for advice on how to break the habit and good alternatives. The options that come to mind are JC grab, WD...

Thanks for the advice man. My training partner is a Samus and there are a couple other strong Samus mains in my area (including one guy who seems to take fiendish delight from missile spamming people like me who cant deal with it) so i'll definitely start working on my SHFFL fairs hard. we'll...

That's good advice thank you. My SHFFLing and ledge game definitely need some serious work, which is something I need to just buckle down and put in the hours of lab work to do. The up-throw to Uair thing hasn't really worked for me though. Every time I try I eat a nair. Is that something that...

when my family got our gamecube it came with the Legend of Zelda collectors edition disc. the first one i played was Majora's Mask though i switched to and played through Ocarina of Time before i finished Majora's Mask. And they were both SO BLASTED GOOD! id played video games before then...

I could actually use some advice on that matchup. i just spent the better part of two hours getting beat up by a Samus. I'm really new to the game so anything you can say would be helpful. I don't know how to deal with missile camping, I can't edgeguard her to save my life, I can't combo her...
