Ruby, a quick word of advice and I'm out of here. First of all, don't listen to all these people saying 'you're beyond help' or telling you (more like shouting at you) to heed their advice. They're saying that first and foremost to validate their own personalities (notice how they're all...

If you're no longer having fun with that character and/or dealing with the character's weaknesses seems overly tedious/boring/makes you feel lame.

Trading stocks is definitely a situational thing. The people who are saying it isn't are missing the point that the "standing" of a match is not determined simply by stocks (i.e., 4:3 or 2:1), but by stocks as well as %. Obviously if you are at high % then your stock is worth less than when you...

That works. Also, if you're at center stage and you know when fox is going to make a move for the top platform, you can abuse falco's superior fullhop and just jump up there and meet him with a dair. Alhough sometimes it can be difficult to combo from the top platform, doing this will often...

hey guys, kyle here a.k.a. scribble (decided to drop the r) wondering if there's anyone I met last night, or maybe even didn't meet, who actually lives in the city of Chicago and is looking for a regular practice partner. I live in Logan Square and would be willing to travel to your place of...

Wow, that's brilliant! How about it? Whenever you become worried over a certain matchup, you simply take a seat in front of the keyboard, pop open your preferred word processor, and proceed to write a free-flowing essay on that matchup evaluating all the key scenarios (spacing, recovering...

Okay, PP, now you've got me thinking about my own game. I recall when I first started shine->wavelanding, how I would abuse the life out of that move even when I saw it wasn't working for whatever reason, and yes, slowing down, being more deliberate in throwing down my moves, I would say, helped...

Because we must achieve a fully exhausted knowledge of smash, even if that means veering off into the irrational/impractical! Speaking of which, I think we've quite exhausted the topic of falco's "worst move", which I think I can accurately sum up as, "on scale of the poorness of a majority...

Not true. You can SHDA with it.

Umm, you must have forgotten to actually look at the video. He didn't link the set that Santi sandbagged. Given, I don't think posting a random match between Santi and Dojo helps serve much of any point. Edit: Plus it's from June 26th.

Very good stuff, chene. Easily some of the best TL vids out there. Only one minor suggestion: use FAir occasionally when doing a retreating SH. You can even FF it so the hitbox is right at ground level. For instance, at :44 in the first video, you SH, intending to zair, but he dashes below...

You've already got a pretty solid game. I'd say this is one of the better TL vids out there. Only some bits of critique (you did want that, right?): Resist the urge to dair! Unless you're predicting an opponent's move and/or think it will surprise them, it's not worth the landing lag of a...

Just found something relatively cool. It mainly works on taller characters (Falco or taller, I'd say). When an opponent is at high percents, do a SH bomb draw, likely in retreat. At the very last moment of your SH, simultaneously double jump and throw the bomb toward the enemy (i set L to...
