This is really cool. How do you have your controls set up? I used to have L to jump so sh-db1 would be easy, but switched it back to shield so I could do sh-dodge-uair. I've tried doing the second combo using R (still shield), but it's extremely uncomfortable and my success rate with it is...

I don't care what Pokemon says, Charizard has to weigh more than 200 lbs. How can a beefy dragon only weigh 65 lbs more than a skinny ninja like Sheik? And ~70 lbs less than MewTwo? Come on man.

Life is all about plateaus and figuring out how to get past them, which inevitably leads to other plateaus. Basically, when things get difficult or you feel "stuck," think outside the box, but also put the work in. I feel like people miss this a lot. They get complacent and either give up or...

Thanks for the feedback! I remember calibration stuff happening back in the day with someone doing that (having someting pressed down before turning the console on) and having to restart the system for them. After a little more tinkering, I've seen that it only happens when 2 or more people...

I personally hope they don't do any updates because then my $300 setup will be rendered obsolete and the community could get split up again. If they do updates like patches and characters, it should be for both systems. Smash 4 Wii U is too young to get brushed under the table by Switch in my...

Good question. For me personally, my best method for short hopping at first was using solely the tip of my thumb and basically lightly running it down off the button. This way, the button didn't register a full press (aka a full hop). On the gamecube controller, I used to do this on the Y...

FamilyTeam is da real MVP.

Congrats on 4th! I think people underestimate their skills a lot going into first tournaments. And a lot of people who don't have as much time to put into the game still go for fun while not having the best technical skills. I had a similar experience at my first tourney earlier this year...

Hey guys, I got a weird problem and was hoping I'm not alone and someone else can help me. I have a GC controller that has worked totally fine for me up to a point. I had a friend come over to play and he used my GC controller while I used the Wii U gamepad. Randomly the controller just decided...

Thanks for the advice, guys! Sometimes it's easy to get paralysis by analysis.

At the end of every match, the score screen shows a myriad of stats. One that always interests me is Hit Percentage. I understand this stat can be skewed by creating "walls"or practicing short hop aerials between stocks (I don't personally do it, maybe I should!). In general, though, we don't...

Zero's great, he puts a lot of perspective into "professionl gaming" and how much knowledge f ll characters is needed for success in the competitive scene. I also enjoy Jtails and AceStarthe3rd. Both have relaxing demeanors about themselves while staying informative and rarely get salty on...

I think it's more that Charizard is a less common matchup for opponents and his playstyle can be "gimmicky" for a lack of a better term, so I get better results with him. He's definitely not as fun to play with for me, so that's why I don't "main" him. To be fair, a well placed side-B is...

Confession time: I love using Lucina. Her spacing is super fun and her combos feel rewarding since usuallly they're attributed to solid gameplay or bad DI by the opponent. HOWEVER. I'm way better with Charizard. He survives way longer and has easy kills (grab and up-throw at <110% with rage is a...

Hey guys, For Glory story here: I'm playing Charizard against a Falco and he obviously outclasses me in skill level and reads in every sense of those words. I'm already at 110% on my second stock before he's at 40% on his first. He's obviously prolonging the match to have fun and practice grabs...
