I think that you mean IASA (Interruptible as soon as) which is when an attack can be cancelled into another attack. They are similar, but FAF is when the attack ends, and IASA is when you can cancel a move with another input (like Ryu dashing out of his focus attack, iirc).

FAF means "First active Frame" and it is the first frame whereupon you are free to act after using a move. Basically, it is the total number of frames that occur after any action.

About the whole "Orbitars vs Ike" thing, I know that when timed correctly, it will push Ike's Aether away from stageand he will use his downwards attack past the edge and die (like it does with Kirby's), but this is impossible if the Ike spaces himself so that he grabs the edge without coming up...

As far as I know, MK has the best dash attack due to how it can convert into an up air string, either for damage or to finish off with an up B for the KO.

I don't know anything about Pink Fresh switching to Lucas, but he has seemed to be playing Pit better recently. That could just be him getting better at fundamentals though, so it's hard to tell.

@Pazx - when you whiff side B on the ground, you have a lot of endlag, and if you hit an opponent's shield, you are probably dead. In the air, you can still hit people on the ground, and upon a miss, there is less endlag, and upon hitting a shield, you can bounce away and try to avoid being...

Giving her a better dAir and more aerial mobility wouldn't really make her even close to "too good," especially in a game with characters like Sheik or Post-patch DK--either with amazing neutral and combos or just incredible combos and kill power. If Lucina could combo off of dAir, that would...

@gumx - maybe, but seeing how Roy should be a clunkier and heavier-hitting character, but is instead very fast and has good frame data and a longer range (IIRC his sweet spot on fSmash covers Lucina's entire fSmash), Lucina, being the smaller character with less range than Marth, should be...

Warp is really the only option worth using without a read, but the priority on bAir basically will allow you a free hit to challenge any aerial, but the hitbox is high and directly behind Palutena, so it can't be used often. Stages with platforms definitely help landing due to warp mixups and...

To add to what KenithTheGatherer said, even if a new Fire Emblem character were to be added to appease fans, it's just wrong to leave such a loved character non-viable, especially in a game where all characters are supposed to be balanced; Smash 4 is the only game in the series that actively...

Trying to buy "Scrubs in a Bucket."

There really is no simple way to approach with Pit that is completely foolproof, and if your arrows are always power-shielded, it can be a real problem. Pit is a character that thrives off of reading his opponent. Pit doesn't have amazing options in neutral the way that Sheik has needles...

That was a typo, since the Pit boards haven't started discussing Zelda yet as far as I know (sorry about saying Fox when I meant Zelda), and Thinktron wanted to discuss it, I could post a link to this page on the Pit matchup boards to see if we could discuss what he wanted to say.

@Thinktron if the thread agrees, I will post a link on the Pit/Dark Pit matchup thread because we haven't discussed Fox yet. Unfortunately, the Pit/Dark Pit mains are not very active, but we will offer what we can.

I agree with Wintropy on this one. Pit's air speed may be lacking and his ground speed, while good, is not one of the best, but his frame data is fine, plus he is a sword character that is very floaty and has multiple jumps allowing for him to throw out many disjointed hitboxes. Pit is not...
