Something I've noticed from time to time; It seems like there are some players who do fancy setups, perfect pivots, dash-dance, fox-trot, etc, and yet they have bad fundamentals, and outplayed by f. Are these new players who are merely trying to learn everything they need to be competitive from...

People who are 2kewl2 approach, and then wonder why they're losing to a character that doesn't have to.

What I always "want" to do but never take the time to do, is get people on skype to play friendlies with. I think that would help, because then you can play other stages, and it becomes more of a social thing. 2v2 with friendly fire turned on is fun as hell.

Well, if you're having trouble punishing, then perhaps you should try and focus on playing a bit safer? Learn which attacks auto cancel, learn which moves are safe, and switch between playing offensively and defensively. Also, make sure you aren't rolling too much yourself, since attacking out...

Why would someone feel salty over SD'ing? Especially if it had nothing to do with the opponent's actions.

For me, SD mercy is something the player earns. If they're taunting, rolling constantly, or doing things that are a waste of time, then I don't bother. I'm out of there anyway. But, if it's a good player (Or a no BS new player), and they've earned my respect, then I'll SD if the percents are...

Eh. When you're two stocking someone and way ahead, I doubt as though most players are invested enough in the match to feel salty over SD'ing. When a sorely losing player taunts in that situation, it just comes off as desperate, to be honest. SD'ing isn't really a satisfying way to win, even in...

I've fought about 4500 battles in FG and I've never encountered unusual behavior.

This has probably been talked about before, but it's crossed my mind a few times on FG lately. There are players who will taunt when you SD. If you do it, or have done it before, what did you actually mean by it? The thing is, initially I interpreted it as nooby players thinking "Yeah, I did...

The other day I was playing FG, playing a match as Samus. I was on the ledge, the player was onstage, and so I went to do a forward air onto the stage. However, instead of a fair, a back-air came out, killing the other player across the stage. After the initial disappointment of winning from a...

Yeah, I was accused of rolling too much early on. After that I started rolling less and using more normal movement instead. Now whenever I'm beating someone because they're rolling too much, I try to point it out. Not as an accusation, but because they might not notice they do it. Now if only...

How do you think Smash should be balanced? One of the biggest issues with Smash seems to be that characters have strengths and weaknesses, but in high level play players have skills that devalue certain character's strengths it to the point where the character's weaknesses make it unviable...

I've been playing a lot with Link recently, and I generally use ranged weapons to edge-guard, catch rolls after landings, and also when the enemy is jumping constantly. Other than that, however, I'm generally pretty aggressive and rushing the player down with melee, kicks, and grabs, to the...

I play about 6 characters. While I've tried to pick a main based on who I'm best with in the past, there have just been too many times where certain matchups feel impossible with my "main", and yet by using a different character I can wreck the same opponent who just two stocked me. If I were...

Have you ever been in a match, when suddenly one or both characters moves so quickly that the camera doesn't catch up, and you can't see what's happening for a second? (Either because the character is off-screen entirely, or because you can't see the stage) I've lost a few matches this way, and...
