Yeah, I was saying he didn't play a god until fairly far in the bracket and considering that there were 4 gods at Big House, playing mango in winners quarters was about as good as it can get without a huge upset causing a god to drop to losers early.

Definitely the best national placing by a Luigi to date. From what I saw, Abate played really well and I agree that the bracket was good for him. Not to say it was at all lucky or anything, but it was fortunate that he didn't have to run into any of the 'gods' or any of the really good sheik...

lmaooo Hulka sorry I keep forgetting to critique your vid! I'll make sure to check it out tomorrow

The JC usmash is essentially the same concept as the JC grab but the execution can be a little weird. IMO, 9 times out of 10 a simple usmash via the cstick or smashing the control stick up + a is fine. When you need to do something wonky like a charged usmash OOS, then I would smash up on the...

Sure thing. I'll try to set a little time aside later today / tomorrow and give my perspective on it.

Thanks man. DoH definitely wasn't challenging me offstage as much as he could have, but either way I'd suggest trying to be more careful about when you're using the side b if the peach likes to go offstage a lot. Basically, you just don't want her to be able to easily match her float height...

Thanks, man. I feel like I played a lot safer that I would have had I been playing more frequently but that was probably for the best. I didn't really have high hopes for how I was gonna do that day and it eased some mental blocks + allowed me to focus on playing more effectively (and lamer...

Good point. I guess even if you don't necessarily choose to go to BF or DL directly, it's good to keep platform camping in mind to make the stages work for you. The only thing that I don't like about platform camping in this matchup is when the Peach doesn't really bother approaching and...

Yeah honesty I don't really know if it does or not lol maybe it only single and double jabs work in that case

I think FD is a good pick in this matchup. I like the stage a lot in general but also I think if anything it favors Luigi somewhat. It limits her in the sense that she can't camp as easily and approaching her from above will be easier but also, platforms give her a place to throw out dsmashes...

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but my post was kind of like, separate from any pivoting stuff. If you're talking about pivoting your approaches as opposed to throwing out a jab combo during your approaches, then they probably both have their own advantages / disadvantages and aren't...

I'm not a frame advantage master or anything, but judging by the frame data for the triple jab, it's not terribly safe. It is, however, fairly difficult to punish for some characters in my experience. Punishing the triple jab usually means shield-grabbing Luigi, but that means getting close...

Verda Stelo's post pretty much nails it but just to emphasize some things: - Uair is really solid when peaches know / learn to float higher to avoid Usmashes. It comes out fast and hits in front / above initially just enough to mess with her. - You can probably get away with baiting out lots...

That's true. I just didn't really think about the low hitbox sticking around after landing and putting that together with clanking. Maybe it's more reliable for other situations like a peach trying to downsmash vs grounded approaches.

Woah, how did I not ever realize this before lmaoooo
