The new c-stick mechanics have been annoying the hell out of me... almost as much as tripping. From time to time it'll refuse to respond and throw out a smash/aerial even if I press it several times in a row. Not letting it re-center could be the cause... but I never recall having trouble with...

It's easier to spike with Ness's Dair than Lucas's dair... and that's what truly matters. Heritage, baby, cuz the original Ness dair is what started it all. I really need to put more time into Brawl Ness, but I'm still playing like... 15 characters on a regular basis, lol. And for the...

Some characters on Battlefield I can't fsmash tip from below if they're on the platform. Others I can. It's weird. For example, I can hit Toon Link but wasn't able to hit Zelda.

I can only see a reference to it having a different ability if you hit someone with it as opposed to laying it as a drop when I look on the Dojo. Ah, there it is. Item Encyclopedia (thing that lists all the items at once). "This throwing item has a meteor smash effect when you throw it at an...

Marth can dair out of it, but not 100% of the time. I think it may involve starting the footstool from lower on their body and not at the top of their head. When it does hit, though, it makes it much easier to tip with the dair for a spike (spacing is tighter on the dair than in Melee now)...

Your best chance would be going to the character discussion forums and asking there about the specific character's strategies (though first look around for threads that might address it and/or a Question and Answer thread).

No, footstool jumping is independant of your regular jumps (if you do it repeatedly, your jump distance is lower each time, so can't do infinite footstools either). I did this once in training, I think, but when I tried to recreate it the opponent always went too low and the dair was always...

I've known Charizard has super armor on his Up B for awhile, and I don't even play PT. Old news. Also, there's character specific forums for character specific stuff.

Don't really play Pikmin atm, but it seems like it'd be a good weapon against people approaching with aerials while you're shielding. Maybe the angle is too high, though.

Here's ironclad logic for you. My friend and I were playing teams and he was Meta Knight. He got a smash ball, used it, and I died along with his opponents. Team Damage was off (think we were wasting CPUs out of boredom, so didn't care about it) and there was no explosive items nearby...

Here's a question I never quite found the best answer to in Melee (granted, I never did any tourneys so my level of play was never that high). What's the best way to deal with an opponent behind you? Such as when you shield an aerial and they DI past you to land behind you. Half the time out...

Regarding projectiles and stopping them with attacks, I just quickly tested in Training mode versus Toon Link (spelled Young Link before I corrected, lol). Was able to neutral jab and negate his arrow and boomerang. Counter worked for the bomb. Got hit by the explosion when I jabbed it (go...

No. That's the physics engine at work. It does that for lots of characters on slanted surfaces. I've done it lots of times (think I see it a lot on Toon Link's ship stage). Also, it's not helpful if you're recovering from an attack, which means you're vulnerable. At best, it can be used to...

Stages with edges is an Ivysaur counter. XD

Joke threads and/or idiots rock.
