I watched the first villager match of finals: 1: You fall on him and try to land dair. Never use dair outside of spike situations. Alongside fair, they both have the most horrendous, punishable landing lag. If you are going to fall on them, you have to use nair for it's low landing lag or try to...

This is definitely how I feel, but I still think he's above bottom 5( not by much though, and I think he's never going to get better, only much, much worse ) He plays like a fat, slow, inferior ness/diddy. You just gotta throw a whole lot because you get more out of landing a throw than...

I care a lot because FG 1v1 is the only mode I enjoy playing. Right now I have it at exactly 90% after 610 matches. It's a bit stressful but it kept me focused. I'm moving onto guilty gear Xrd now, hopefully it has a better online than smash

The more I play him, the lower he goes in my mind. I feel like 1 or 2 years from now, DDD won't even be able to get hits in. I started with him in high, then top of mid, now I think he might actually be low. He has a losing matchup against any character with a projectile that reflects gordo...

I haven't watched the videos, but I've found FF nair to be a bit...bad. It doesn't have enough pushback to stop a shield grab from a grounded opponent, so I've found opponents with good reactions can punish it almost every time. It's also not a disjointed hitbox, so it can be very dangerous and...

I'm at 92% after 550 matches. I lost a full percent to some guy I played about 25 matches against. Here's an old snapshot: http://i.imgur.com/PCD5W2G.jpg

God damnit playing against a character with a projectile like mario's is obnoxious as hell. They really need to fix this gordo horsecrap. Call it a failed experiment and change it to be more normal( reduced damage + knockback, clangs instead of reflects ) I'm worried that Nintendo is going to...

Draft banning is awful even in the games that are designed with it in mind, I really, really don't want to see it in smash.

I'm pretty certain that even with the reflect, gordo is still DDD's single most important move in neutral. Usually you can use it to create situations where they can't safely reflect the gordo. By locking themselves into a move that reflects the gordo, you now have plenty of information on how...

Most of the follow ups are guaranteed though. If they were vortex style mixups I wouldn't have much of a problem with them, but something like DDD's down throw is a 18 damage move( more with pummels ) until pretty high percents, where it "only" gives you a chance to go for a kill with the uair...

I don't know, throws just tend to do so much more damage than attacks. I've been taken from 0-50 easily by mario and ness off of one throw. I'd have to land 5 tilts to equal that much damage. Throws are low risk with insanely high reward, I feel like it skews things a lot.

I'll start this post by saying I don't really intend this as any sort of nerf thread. When I play, I find myself going almost entirely for throws. Grounded punish? Going to go for a throw. Opponent attacking me from the air? Going for a shield grab. When running at an opponent, know what's...

:4zss: -1 :4pikachu: -1 :4dedede: +1

How dare I come into a discussion thread and discuss things. Stop elevating the game beyond criticism, it's not healthy. Ground approaches are not "more viable" just because air approaches suck. They just changed the game so that ALL approaching sucks.

On approaching being unsafe: It is a problem. It's a HUGE problem. When the person who acts first is at a tremendous disadvantage, you end up with a stale, boring, defensive game. When shields, rolls, spot dodges, and just hitting an approaching target is as safe as it is in this game, players...
