@DLA Shields don't cover you completely in melee. It's definitely not anti smash. It's more in-depth than traditional fighter games because you care about if the move is coming from up to down or down to up (marth fair vs bair) and the spacing and tilting is far more micro. It's not just this...

The the PMDT added the new glide new glide cancel animation for Zard (when working on the 3.5 release), the new animation initially prevented wavebouncing . I play tested Zard before 3.5's release and told Standardtoaster and MonkUnit that this was a problem. The next day when I tested Zard...

Do you mean there are dashes that have a different number of frames where you can fox trot / rar? Maybe PM has changed this from Melee (?) but from what I can see on here: http://smashboards.com/threads/2014-ssbm-compendium-of-knowledge-updated-1-2-14.339520/#post-16153183 for Captain Falcon...

There's a couple things that could be going wrong if you are not getting your read: *Note: I'm a Melee / PM player so my examples are based off those games, but the concepts should transfer. I reference burst range a bit in my response. For a good understanding on what burst range is, watch...

What's new in 3.03? Also @achilles1515 Will the next version have any new cpu DI options? e.g. -CPU levels DIing differently -a toggle for different DI's -or a toggle to get the same DI they just did to you (which would be neat... maybe make it so that save state can save that data and one...

Except that's not even close to being true. Olimar's pivot grab comes out frame 11 and travels pretty slow. I just tested it and it gets to Zard range at about frame 16 or 17 (hard to tell exactly). Zard's pivot grab comes out frame 10 to compare. The Olimars I faced tend to throw this out a lot...

Imo: Samus is 50:50 Snake seems to be a good match up? Kinda confused by this but Yomi would probably know better... did he suggest that? Falco is 40:60 Sheik is 40:60 Marth is 50:50 Lucario is 40:60 Mario is 45:55 And I don't know a ton about the DDD match up but I thought it was good or even...

More distance as in you slide more? Cause then that makes sense (basically just a boost grab but apparently you can do it backwards). If it's more grab range (which was what I thought some of the Zard mains meant but not sure), then I'm confused as to why that'd happen. I take it that's not the...

@steelguttey That might be the furthest distance, but it also takes time to travel to that distance rather than being at max range frame 7. It's really not as good as Zard's or DDD's pivot grab imo. That's not even mentioning that Oli loses to attacks if an attack hits him on the same frame he...

They aren't my reasons for him being top tier either. It's still primarily his punish game that makes him good. I just think people tend to underrate his neutral. I realize it would be a read, I'm just saying that it is one reason a player can't nonstop approach against you (otherwise a read...

Lucario can down b cancel super and both have a hitbox and be invincible. If you are in the air you cannot clash with this, and since he's invincible, you can't hit him either, so basically if you are in the air and he gets to the invincibility frames of his down b there is nothing you can do...

I've heard that gravity is virtually irrelevant because you are only in the air for 1 frame when asdi makes you land. Which seems to make sense though I don't have a solid source to back that up.

At some (low) percents zard can dash -> reverse nair the good DI on b-throw (which is a weaker punish than fair, but it's something). I think you would want down and away DI to avoid a hit at all percents... I haven't tested it, but I'd be surprised if holding down was enough to get away, though...

I like this idea but custom controls might create some problems :/ unless you can switch controls each stock which would be awesome.

If people enjoy it enough to want to take it seriously, then I don't really see the problem. It might be a problem for other sub communities of smash since it might take away tournament attendees for other titles, but worse for the smash scene as a whole? I don't see how you can make that...
