    Pokemon Trainer vs. Game and Watch

    I see what you are trying to say about PT being able to adapt to fight against the opponent's fighting style, but in the g&w example, you are clearly describing someone who isn't using his moveset to his full potential. g&w has a very tight aerial game, good spacing and powerful ground moves...

    The Art Of Mouthing - An Uair Guide (18+)!

    Nice topic! I'll be sure to try to implement u-air's uses more. I had no idea that the puff actually refreshed your moves.

    Smash Back Room Weekly Character Discussions! FINAL UPDATES: Ness + Lucas. All done!!

    To me, it sounds undoubtedly like Pit, so many people were sure that he was top tier.

    Vids of M2k's MK !

    Has no one learned anything from melee vids? I can clearly remember "Oh, Ken sucks, my Fox can beat him any day." You can not see the extent of someone's skill from watching videos. Play the person before you judge his skills against your own. If you can beat him, I'll gladly hail you as one of...

    Possible New Counter

    Taking a second glance, he is not nearly as bad as I thought that he was. He just has absolutely no spacing whatsoever and resorts to spamming attacks. If this was truly a MM, there is no way that the MK and Zelda would be messing around in the match like they were. This leads me to think that...

    Possible New Counter

    That video was a joke, right? I mean, come on, a first-grader that never played a video game, had hand paralysis, was drunk, and just mashed buttons would play much better than that MK. What kind of MK spams forward smash? The fact that the video is labeled money match just makes it that much...

    Does knockback on shuttle loop decay?

    This might be a very stupid question, but I heard it said that SL never loses knockback. I would find it strange, but it would be very cool if it didn't. I just wanted to ask you guys if you could confirm that this statement is false or not. It would greatly affect how I play Meta.

    Vs. Rob

    Maining both MK and ROB, I can tell you that this matchup HIGHLY favors MK. Your mach tornado is extremly effective against him and he has an incredibly hard time escaping. It is much easier to gimp him than most people think because he CAN'T AIRDODGE when he is using his recovery. Finally, be...

    Setting up MK's final smash

    Well, I've tested the F-tilt and it seems to be fairly easy to DI out of or airdodge the cape. I've had some sucess with the d-air but I don't believe it is inescapable. Downthrow works well, especially at low percentages if you can predict your opponent well and force him to do something...

    Setting up MK's final smash

    I admit that throwing the cape into the crowd is usually the best thing to do in FFA whenever possible. However, my annoying friends seem to always spread out as much as possible, and even occasionally cooperate to try to knock the smash ball out of me. They also seem to be bound to a peace...

    B+Down

    As to using it offensively, you should only use it in when your opponent is off guard. It CAN KO at high percentages, but it is too easy to punish because of lack of super armor frames to warrant using it as a consistent finishing move. It cannot be used like, say, Marth's counter either. It is...

    When is drill rush preferable to mach tornado?

    This is all really great advice. I'll try it for vertical recovery instead of always using SL. I'll see how I can implement it as an approach to projectile-spammy characters and try angling it downwards. I'll try it just as a surprise attack every once in a while and try chaining throws into it...

    Setting up MK's final smash

    I usually play more serious matches when I get together with my friends with no items and neutral stages. Occasionally however, we play more relaxed leisure matches for fun with items on and we include the final smash. Many times thats the only item we include just to make the scramble to break...

    When is drill rush preferable to mach tornado?

    Hi, I just wanted to ask 2 quick related questions. 1. In what situations would the drill rush be a better move choice than the more reliable mach tornado? 2. In general, how can the drill rush be integrated into MK's game so that it is useful and actually helps him? What are its best and...

    When is up-B out of shield a viable strategy?

    Hi, I just have one question that has been on my mind. I have heard of its usefulness, but have had a hard time setting up a up-B out of the shield. I haven't been able to punish well with it and have often been punished as a result of it. All I want to know, when is up-B a good punisher and...
