Late BH5 shoutouts and updates. Didn't end up doing any mm's on Saturday despite my previous post - couldn't find the person who beat me in winner's, and I gave up after asking for ~3 mm's that were refused. The last one the guy told me he only had a $5 that he wanted to use for tacos. ...I...

Late update (I crashed as soon as we got back) but I've drowned in pools. Made it all the way to the last match to get out before losing, so I'm still overall content with how I did. Small amount of salt vs the guy I lost to in winner's, gonna see if I can find him and do a MM. Or just...

I'm going. Lucky you, wave D haha. I'm in wave B, and one of the people in my car is wave A soooo we're getting ready to leave in a few minutes. Yesterday was fun, worked until 5:30 pm and then everyone gathered and we headed out, straight to MI, got here around 12AM. Darn timeshift.

Just want to point out that in the previous patch before 1.1.1, it was confirmed that the hitstun modifier on shields had been changed. While this affected all moves on shield, it scaled quickly and was noticeably larger for moves like Robin's Levin sword, many of Ryu's attacks, and so on. Now...

I personally have no idea if 3DS is harder than Wii U, since I've only laddered on Wii U. But the population is certainly larger for Wii U. There are other places to ladder but Anther's is prob your best shot. Glad to hear you've found a great community offline! I've heard good things about...

Could someone give me a primer on Robin vs TL? I know that TL's bthrow and usmash are his main kill moves, but thats about it. Is bomb -> usmash a real combo thing? Also videos or players to look up would be really helpful. I noticed that there's a TL in my pool at Big House who placed top 8 at...

Anyone making sidebets on if/who will be be birthday buffed in the upcoming patch? Mine's on Samus.

I've got MJG and San in my pool for Big House. Actually pretty hyped about it ;) I know em both from Brawl days mainly, although this will be my first time meeting San in rl.

Yes, if you're holding a direction before + during when you get hit, the DI will carry through. So if you whiff an attack and know you're going to get hit by an opponent's Usmash, you should anticipate accordingly and already be holding left/right.

Gone through the list and updated the group again. Let me know if anyone who previously posted here has yet to be added - though some have not been online Skype since being added. Also please leave me a message if I'm offline when receiving a contact request about the Robin skype group -...

That's a very kind offer, thank you! However I do have a close MI friend that's housing me and my fiance. So I'm all set there, but I really do appreciate it :) I'd totally be down for friendlies or lunch or w/e too. Yeah! I totally know Blitzkrieg Deity. She's at my 'kind of far to go to but...

Oh awesome! I am also Midwest, from Illinois. Like you, I'm pretty much just a local player. Back in Brawl days I used to travel everywhere in the Midwest, Ohio included. However, this will be the first time I'm traveling for Smash4. I know that Skorpio is also Midwest (MN), but I don't talk to...

Hey guys, I'm confirmed for Big House 5. I know Raziek is a 'maybe' for going. If anyone else is going to show up let me know, it'd be pretty cool to meet other Robin mains and I love watching Robins in bracket. :)

It depends on the MU, some characters like Falcon and Rosa have an easier time 'abusing' Elwind as you say. For other characters, when you're trying to get back, Robin's Fair covers enough space that it can be hard to get around. It's not an option you always want to do, but it can make attempts...

My strategy for learning any game is to usually watch videos of good players who also use my main. Then, I pick 1-2 options I wouldn't have normally chosen but saw them do, and work them into my game in friendlies. There's been noticeable points in my career where I get a level better - this...
