Fine, it isn't a real chaingrab. But getting re-grabbed is arguably the better option in a lot of cases here. It's either that, or DI right above her and become susceptible to upsmash, fsmash, nair, utilt, etc. and whatever may come of that. I realize that doesn't make the chaingrab real, but my...

The chaingrab is real. It still works on most characters on away DI. It's only escapable if you DI in, at which point Samus just does whatever she wants.

Starter: Battlefield, Smashville, Pokemon Stadium 2, Fountain of Dreams, Green Hill Zone Counterpick: Yoshi's Story, Final Destination, Dreamland, Skyworld, Lylat Cruise, Warioware 2 bans. The main goal of this list is to streamline the stagelist, removing as many redundant stages as necessary...

The first step to picking a main is to not let random people on the internet who know nothing about your skills, preferences, and playstyle do it for you. My advice is to try out as many characters as you can and pick the top 5 or so you're interested in. It seems you've already done this...

G&W airdodging after up-B was in 1.0 IIRC and then it got removed for 2.0. Why they decided to let Sonic keep his for so long is a mystery to me (but it's gone now so all is right in that regard). I'd support them both getting the ability to airdodge out of their grounded up-Bs.

Samus' missiles suck. It's all about the zair.

Please do this.

Have you tried the controller reset code (x y start)? Also, sometimes I find I can fix stick problems like that by just opening the controller up, taking off the cap, and spinning the stick in circles for a bit.

If you're trying to actually get better at the game, you should stick to trying to learn at most 3 characters very well instead of trying to learn a bunch of characters decently. This will not only help improve your play with the characters you choose to put the most focus on, it'll improve your...

Take this all with a grain of salt, as I'm not 100% knowledgeable on how DI and SDI work, but I think I have a good idea. In general, DI in this game is exactly like Melee, or as close as the developers could get it to be. The analog stick is used for normal DI, while the C-stick can...

I see Samus in the lower half of the cast, but still above a fair number of other characters. Around low-mid tier is where I'd put her. Admittedly, I don't know the full extent of the impact her new tools have on her game; I don't think ice helped her much, but zair and crawl are probably enough...

So I didn't know that there was a "delete drafts" option until I started writing this post, and I was mostly writing this post just to get rid of the half-written post that had been saved to my drafts and kept reappearing every time I opened this thread. PSA if that's been bothering you too, I...

I'd still be willing to see it tried out, if it hasn't already been tried and found to be inferior to the current system. I do get the feeling, though, that while Melee ledge roll occupancy would help some at edgeguarding the good recoveries in this game, I think it'd help more at edgeguarding...

Can one of you explain to me how Wario is "ruined" by the 3.0 changes? I'm no Wario main, but the biggest change I see in his patch notes is the loss of crouch out of his side-B, which was apparently insanely safe on block (+12 or something according to Reflex) and that seems like a reasonable...

It's called Ironside, it's from the movie Kill Bill.
