yes if it hits the shield after you are out of lag. Or its a dot/stitch. Turnips are amazing :phone:

My computer is being haunted by the ghost of Steve Jobs. On the upside, I'm done giving flu shots for a while and don't have to do any GI tube stuff anytime soon. Aspirating those is really nasty. Puff vs. Marth is pretty even. :phone:

I've decided the next thing to check is the percents we can CC fox moves at and not be put in the tumble state and forced to tech in place. Fox is a jerk, thinking he's so cool with his tech cheese and carpal tunnel syndrome. Plus technical Fox's are everywhere! So seems like counter-fox tactics...

I just want to throw in that perfect reaction times do not, and can not exist. There are absolute human limits to reaction time dictated by nerve conduction speed. No smash player can react reflexively in under 8 frames, even at their absolute peak (and its really almost certain that no smasher...

Yeah you really have to use L and not R with the claw grip. I can reach it but its awkward and I've always preferred L. :phone:

I use Y unless I'm djc landing into a tilt or jab, then I use X cause I find it difficult to hit Y fast twice in a row with my index finger. Some other stuff I'll use tap-jump for (djc-land uptilt). But I use the claw grip, and I'm not sure how many Peach players do. Idk why people don't, its...

wow good stuff CrimsonBlur The single biggest factor is sleep hygiene. Getting less than 8.5 hours of sleep will diminish your reaction time substantially. Sleep debt accumulates over time and isn't immediately removed by a single good night's sleep. Trying to maintain a consistent sleeping...

Out of the changes mentioned, only one was sorta implemented in brawl. Sdi still exists, and arguably moreso cause of the hitlag increase. CCing to reduce hitstun was replaced with... Less hitstun all the time :( tumble canceling options in hitstun and CCing to reduce hitlag. Ledge posession...

Great read! Thanks Hax. That's actually slightly better than average. I don't suppose you happen to know your tactile or auditory reaction times? Those are both substantially better than visual reaction time. While you can't produce a genetic advantage in reaction time that you weren't born...

Beat it how? Do you just mean to ask if jab is faster in terms of startup? If so, the answer is yes (extra yes for falco). Jab would win if the jump input was the same frame as the jab input.

Turnips are unaffected by move decay and can do up to 4 damage above the base value depending on type of throw and distance traveled. I explain how it works in the OP. :phone:

Its hard to say anything is totally unexplored by as old a community as melee's. On the other hand the game has so much depth that imo there is a lot potential for new tactics to emerge with characters like Peach. Looking at her from a more mathematical angle, she's very much underdeveloped...

Actually, that's not a stupid question at all. In fact, it's an excellent question, and one I had planned on addressing (once I managed to drag myself away from school-work). The data in the Peach hitbox animation thread isn't bad per se, but there are some issues. It doesn't list hitlag and...

The only reason to wiggle out of tumble you didn't mention was to land without needing to tech. Though djc land from tumble is somethin I have been fooling around with... Djc landing vs. Wavedash info dump is forthcoming. Need some time to type that up :)

Word. Yeah the MK ban is good for every character but MK. There's no real way to predict how good it is for Jiggs until we see who people switch to. The people who liked MK's aggressive options might switch to Diddy, which would be good for Jiggs. Switching to Marth is waaaay easier said then...
