What's your favorite matchup to play and why? I really enjoy playing the Chadelure matchup personally. Obviously the ones that only know how to use lasers and Overheat are extremely boring to fight, but whenever I run into one that utilizes all of their tools I know the match is going to be a...

The scene isn't dying. The online scene is very active actually, and I am pretty sure there are a good number of online tournaments for this game, but they aren't mentioned on Smashboards. While YouTube isn't putting out as many videos for the game at the moment due to the initial "new game"...

My favorite support set is Croagunk and Sylveon. Since Croagunk gives a defense debuff to the opponent even if they block it, it is extremely useful against both close range fighters since it slows down the match by dissuading them from approaching and zoning characters since it can be used to...

I have been running the Croagunk and Sylveon support. When I first tried them out, I didn't think I would care that much for them; however, they ended up fitting my playstyle perfectly. I also occasionally run Magneton and Quagsire since they offer a massive amount of control to the air and...

Thank you for this. I knew that knowing frame data was much more important in 3d fighting games than in Smash, but until now I never understood how to tell if something was safe unless it was positive on block. Once I'm home from college, I'll read that tutorial you linked.

I'm in C5, and I'm about to have a rank up match for C4. I'm noticing that the C rank players generally play much safer than the D rank and E rank players, so I really had to adapt my playstyle to find any success. Edit: Just made it to C4. One of my opponents during those matches rage quit...

You don't have to be a massive fan of pokemon to get into this game. I have a friend who could care less about the Pokemon franchise, yet when he played the game he loved it. He even told me that he wanted to play Garchomp just because he was a purple shark that swims in and attacks from the...

I made it to D5 yesterday, and I believe I'm just under halfway to D4. I noticed that I'm struggling with the Mewtwo, Shadow Mewtwo, and Suicune matchups. I'm really going to spend some time in the lab over the next few days so I won't be quite as lost against them.

I really hope that I am remembering the correct name, but GGs to Travis who played Pikachu Libre. Our first game was fairly close, but you destroyed me when we got matched up against each other right after. Great stuff man. I was the Lucario named Nexin. I hope we face each other again in the...

I main Lucario. I was originally only going to use him until I learned how to play the game properly, but I enjoyed his playstyle so much that I decided to just stick with him.

I'm E2 at the moment, but I only just got the game yesterday. I'd say the main things holding me back at the moment is that I'm relying on a bit too much on my grab at times and I'm not using my A attacks very often in Duel Phase.

It isn't necessarily true that you will eventually click with a character. It can certainly happen of course, but more often than not every character in the game will have some trait that gives you some trouble at first. That was the case with Ryu, who played very differently from my previous...

The characters from Melee that are in this game control very differently (where Sheik is a grappler with very strong aerials in Melee, she is more of a weak but safe speedster in here). If you try to use your experience with characters in one game to play them in another, you'll likely end up...

Shakunatsu hadoukan is actually pretty easy. It was the first input that I was able to do consistently back when I was learning how to use Ryu. It just comes down to just getting used to the speed of the input in a real match so the game doesn't assume you were trying to turn around when you...
