You can make the most of Little Mac by Koing someone offstage with Jolt Haymaker. Guaranteed to get free salt.

Hey everyone, I really wanted to get some feedback on something. As you may have noticed, I've been spotlighting cosplayers when people make videos about certain characters sometimes as of late. Is this cool with people? I just wanted to show off cool things I've seen around and thought it would be cooler than just taking screen shots from videos to use as pictures.

Let me know how you feel!

 

[Kotastic]

Inb4 people complain about cosplay picture.

Btw I don't mind cosplay, I think they look cool.

As an avid cosplayer myself, I think it's a great way to get the medium into the public eye and help crossover the fanbases. Kudos!

 

[Aetheri]

So you mean to tell me that dash attack dash attack, side B side B, random Smash attack isn't a viable combo?

 

[Luig]

It's pretty cool, I like it.

 

[Trollinguy]

And then balancing invalidates this whole video tomorrow....

 

[Luig]

Well, it would be ironic if nintendo released a balance patch when they release the youtube feature.. then again, it's not like they care.

 

[Will]

Fun Fact: and 's down specials when used in the air can be canceled by Rising Uppercut.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

 

[ParanoidAndroid]

I don't mind the cosplay pictures- just don't change Omni's picture please.

A little mac who knows what they're doing is very dangerous at any %.

 

[DanishButrCookies]

Bruh this clickbait tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[YGK]

I had no idea Mac had such good movement options, usually I just see people walk in and poke with jabs and invincible smashes, or sprint into dash attack or grab. I guess I don't play against very good Little Mac's.

I really like it, but I'm a bit biased since cosplay photography is a hobby of mine (shameless self promotion)

On a related note, you may want to move the photo credit line so it's closer to the image itself. At first I didn't think you credited the artists at all since the credit is so disjointed from the photo.

It doesn't bother me, but it's offsetting from what the content actually is.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Dude, the model cosplaying that Little Mac looks exactly like my sister...

Dun dun dun...

 

[90007000]

Well, obviously, we get the most out of Little Mac by being an air fighter and Jolt Haymakering off the stage. Guaranteed to get yourself salty.

 

[FeenieTheTrite]

Little Mac has some really awesome combo potential, and they feel really satisfying when you pull them off. Little Mac is definitely one of my favorite newcomers!

 

[moofpi]

Lady Mac is top tier. I like this by the way, I think Tourney Mac is actually a very interesting character since the FG stuff most people complained about is due to input lag and is basically just a casual filter. But Tourney Mac is difficult to make viable in a real tournament setting and has to employ very interesting tactics and combos to make it through bracket.

 

[xzx]

And people say Little Mac sucks... He's not that bad as everyone seems to think.

 

[Zarxrax]

How would one go about doing the "dash crouch cancel" shown in this video? I can't seem to make him crouch any faster than normal.

 

[redcometchar]

D tilt into nair with no di only true combos on certain characters at specific percent range, most of the time you can di out and airdodge/jump.

 

[ZomBiehn]

ULTRA ULTRA ULtra Ultra ultra

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

I appreciate the Little Mackenzie.

 

[Zapp Branniglenn]

I don't mean to call out the cosplayer, but did she even study boxing before that shoot? Her stance suggests that she is left handed if her right is forward. Also, her body is turned while throwing the punch. Does she want to lose all the power from it?

I'm...I'm mad.

 

[BurstPanther]

So you mean to tell me that dash attack dash attack, side B side B, random Smash attack isn't a viable combo?

You forgot the follow with Down Smash to Up B

 

[AZ_Spellbound]

That Lady Mac XD

I like it, it show cases someone's love for a specific character rather than be a simple screenshot.

 

[Phoenix502]

HMMM... I never could find a decent use for Nair before... but to link it to a footstool or chain Dtilt with Rising Uppercut. I'll have to try these, especially the footstool thing, since it makes doing a lock for a kill setup much easier.

unfortunately, the perfect pivot tricks don't seem like something I'm easily capable of, given my using a third party Classic Pro.

[...wait a minute... watching this again, all this stuff was done in TRAINING MODE... not an actual match, CPU or otherwise, I'm suddenly beginning to question the validity of these tricks!]

D tilt into nair with no di only true combos on certain characters at specific percent range, most of the time you can di out and airdodge/jump.

thats actually the worst thing you can do, especially at early percents. also buffered dashes or jumps WILL make it true combo with or without DI. U should also check out rage more, because rage changes a TON of these things in favor of the attacker.

as u see mac slow down from his dash just press down. what happens is at the IASA frame he will begin to crouch. you do it so that u dont end up missing the window and hitting a during the dash frames. otherwise ud just dash attack

I think it's awesome!

 

[MarioMeteor]

How to invalidate all of these: stand by the edge and wait for the inevitable dash attack.
