https://www.facebook.com/sam.mihelich.3 @Phresh123 I definitely ignored the request on accident, can you add me again?

As a stronger option than pushing it to individual scenes, I'm part of a national TO secret FB group. In the wake of the PMDT disbanding, we've been adding prominent TOs from every region as an effort to unify the national scene. Finding a national stagelist is one of the primary objectives, and...

I actually didn't know you guys were going to run this stage list. I messaged @Darth Shard and some others in a group chat to nail down a MN stagelist, since I wasn't happy with the one I was previously running. We all agreed on a nine stage list, and then started figuring out what stages it...

Yo, MN TO here, Darthshard just linked me to this post. We're going with the Nebraska list at any tournament I run in MN. We've currently decided on two bans in a bo3, and one for a bo5, with bans persisting throughout the set. One ban in a bo5 means that with smart banning, your opponent...

This is what we've got. No more Nana changes, no more asking for buffs. If you weren't hitting the lab already, it's time. I'd better see every IC here training, optimizing, and making the most out of every tool we have. Everyone who said that ICs were too complex to work on in a game that...

I've always viewed PM as a game that needs secondaries. No character can cover all MUs, nor should they. I use Tink to deal with Peach, Ivy, Toon Link, Ike, and a couple others. Crap, even in Melee I'm starting to work on a Puff for Peach. Yeah, the MU spread isn't great, but all characters...

Had two different people rage quit on me tonight because of "bull**** handoffs", "chaingrabs shouldn't do this much damage wtf", and " they took out wobbling, you can't keep me stuck for so long, this is stupid ". I'm taking it as a sign of progress. I want people to be just as afraid and...

@Phresh123 I'd be interested to see your thought process on punishes. That's one of the most immediate differences between Melee and PM, with no wobbling and more grab punish options.

http://www.twitch.tv/smash_mn/v/26658506?t=108m35s Having a crazy hard time with Marth right now. I can't figure out when it's safe to move in, other than miss-spaced Fsmashes, or obvious laggy moves. I feel like whenever I move there's a sword on me, and my projectiles don't do enough to pin...

Double post, but I played a tourney in between, so it's OK right? Anyone have experience against Ikes? I had a really hard time in neutral, Nana was content just getting messed up.

I play them in both games and it doesn't affect me too much. The biggest issue is not going for safe wobble setups because I'm used to chaining a bunch of stuff together (dthrow dair, iceblock reset, pummel Nana squall, pummel Nana Blizz) if I get a grab in the middle of the stage. As for BPad...

I've started BPadding to gain more height on squall, and holy crap, it's completely changed my offstage game. More recovery options, deeper edgeguards, everything. Huge drawback though, I no longer have access to all my taunts. While I've now mapped Y to taunt/footstool, I have to make a...

So be more reliant on blizzards, and be more patient. I know I want to approach too much, that was likely a huge aspect of that match. When I have some good footage I'd love to, but I don't have anything right now. We rarely record PM in my state other than my tournaments, but I don't enter...

Soooooo..... that's a no on Kirby advice then?

Anyone have experience against good Kirbys? I got destroyed today. I didn't feel like any midstage grab followups were working, even with mixups.
