I always kind of wondered what purpose L canceling served. Competitive games are about making choices and L canceling isn't a choice. It's just an extra button press that always yields a better result than not pressing it. All it does is make the game less accessable without increasing...

I attend Purdue but live near Indianapolis so I'd be interested in finding fellow players in both areas. I'm pretty busy nowadays but I'd love to cross attending a Smash tournament off my bucket list! I mainly play P:M but I'm willing to switch to Melee (haven't played Smash 4 so I don't have an...

Is there any competitive smash community at Purdue University? I just moved in a week ago and I've been wanting to get into competitive smash anyways so it'd be nice to know some people around campus. I play Project M and could probably adapt to Melee if need be.

It seems to me like people undervalue their own characters and overvalue other's characters, especially when they struggle against those characters. Even top level players sometimes do this. Basically, it boils down to a key difference between Melee and P:M. In Melee, if you struggled against a...

Link, Samus, Zelda, and Bowser.

Mario, Marth, Pit, and Zelda are all pretty easy to pick up and play. Link's not too hard either, since he can operate without his flashy technical stuff. Personally, I think Falco's pretty easy to play competently, but in the competitive scene Falco has been played so much that competent isn't...

Also I'm kind of hoping the PMBR does something about annoying ledgestalls (Mewtwo I'm looking at you). There is no reason why infinite or near-infinite ledgestalls should be in the game.

I think they're just referring to characters with ridiculously low-risk recoveries like Pit, Diddy Kong and Mewtwo (the worst offenders in my opinion). Most of the cast is probably safe from recovery nerfs.

If you are trolling, you're not clever. Come on, there are many better things you can do than throw out vague homophobic remarks, disparage the PMBR, and mock everyone who responds to you. That stuff's old and pretty boring. Come up with something better to keep yourself entertained. If you're...

Jigglypuff, King Dedede, Ganondorf, Ness, Luigi. There's some debate on whether or not Kirby, Squirtle, Olimar, and Toon Link should be bottom tier as well. Thing is, despite being bottom tier, most of these characters can still do decently in a lot of matchups. Even though they're weak...

I main :wolf: and :luigi2:. I've also been trying to pick up :zelda: lately. I can play most of the cast somewhat efficiently, but I'm best with those three.

Most good Marths seem to be sticking to Melee. He's also no longer "special" in PM, despite still being really good, which discourages new players from picking him over the flashy "new" characters.

pikachu op plz nerf

In my opinion, Ivy's current build is pretty much perfect. She's got a unique design and is very strong, but if you outplay her you'll win. I'd say that should be the aim for every character in the game. She is a little bit obnoxious if you don't know how to play against zoning characters, but...

No character needs any significant nerfs; just things to take the edge off some of the silly stuff they can pull off. Lucas shouldn't have a kill throw and his smashes need toned down, Fox's defense game needs to be toned down, Falco shouldn't have a fast, infinite range, unclankable projectile...
