Indeed, it is ban-able in my eyes. Therefore, if I were a TO, I would ban the Luigi Ladder under the stage to prevent its use as a stalling tactic. You would not ban it if you were a TO. So we have a difference in opinions, and I respect that, but I simply want to iterate that I do not think...

Susa, I made no claim that the "technique" should be banned; I merely said that it was stalling. In fact, when you quoted me, I said that "it should be banned under the discretion of the TO." You said that too! Since you said "If I was a TO, this would not be banned," we just agree that it...

It seems to me like Susa has taken an interesting approach to the definition of stalling saying that if it can be interrupted, then the team that is not interrupting it is stalling. An interesting idea, but knowing that that clause about stalling was put in to make the game more competitive...

Crouching is underused for most characters in Brawl. For certain characters it is not so useful (Bowser and Ganondorf), but it is sad to see a Kirby player who does not crouch once during a match. Crouching does not take away a lot of options from the player (they can still jump, shield...

@ErikG: Although we cannot guarantee that the change will be for the better, it seems much more probable that it will be a change for the "better". Considering that the primary problems that will come from this are as follows: A New Metagame to Learn Slightly Lower KO Percentages Lack of...

Then, it would seem that changing the damage ratio from 1.0 to 1.1 will make it more difficult to "combo" in Brawl. Since most of the top characters are not very "combo" dependent, what problem will be created when characters that are "combo" dependent have their "combos" removed? A change in...

I have to say, I really did enjoy the tournament, and Fino did play the role of the T.O. admirably. Overall, it would be great to use the venue again since it was small enough to keep organized, but big enough to be competitive. Although, I would have wished to know when the actual finals were...

Yes, like JoWii said, the chances of landing an up smash in general is rare to none in a match, and to say that Final Cutter sets up for an up smash would only work in situations in which your opponent is not entirely sure of what they are doing. Granted, we can use the afterhit of up smash to...

To say that Kirby's Final Cutter is the most underrated move would not be that much of a stretch. If used properly, it can prove to be an effective spacing move that ends with a projectile. However, A1 is right, Final Cutter is not a move to be used in close range combat, or even offensively...

Wow, if I may interject my opinion, this matchup might actually be one of Kirby's most intersting, simply because it is almost as if he is fighting himself with better KO moves. Actually, a great deal is similar between Wario and Kirby, they both perfer to approach aerially, they have a sort of...

SCOTU, your guide is very invaluable, especially to those new to the competitive scene in Brawl. Not only did the picture perfectly introduce the topic :laugh:, but the guide itself was also filled with information that could easily be missed for those who are frustrated. It truly takes a step...

From your description, it sounds as if you have an incredibly solid character in your aersenal (To do that well against M2K... I am fairly sure that most members on the boards could not do that well against him.). A lot of people have been saying to get more tournament experience with Falco...

Really just looking at T!mmy's Pro and Con list, a great deal can be seen about this matchup. Perhaps the most evident point is that Kirby's only real match up advantage is in his ability to KO, which can be very difficult to take advantage of since ROB is more difficult to combo. ROB's...

I see what you mean, Yoshi's Nair, and his jab for that matter, have nice priority. I never really saw them as a killing move, but if the sex kick is not used then it does have considerable knockback. Alright, so this adds yet another move to Yoshi's aersenal of Kirby KOing attacks, and might...

While the Egg Throw is not the best way to build up damage, Yoshi can usually do more damage against Kirby by keeping him away rather than up close. If Yoshi instead relys upon grabbing Kirby, his only logical option after grabbing the Kirby is to quickly pummel and throw Kirby away from him...
