I don't know why this guy keeps comparing PM to Smash 64, he is aware that Smash 64 doesn't have Upthrows, right?

pk fire spam is the other option people use now. a VERY autistic move. just played gunther silver 1. beat him hard.
he then proceeded as planed went with the pk fire spam. he lost.

like I said 2 strats I see commonly. and hes considered silver 1? are you serious? what more evidence do I need? pkfire spam to silver 1?

still its common and boring gameplay. abusing these 2 mechanics.

cmon.

So you guys understand that I said abusing up tilts as well and showed you a video of pikachu up tilting about 6 times. in n64

Yeah, I'm not really sure what you're getting at, here.

A scrub used PK Fire spam and lost.

Yes, this is what happens when you're bad and spam a single move.

...so?

So its common. and its used commonly cuz its OBVIOUS how stupid that move is.

this thread is about balance and fraying away from these 2 strats that are mainly used. This game has alot of characters and tons of varieties of combos.

Kinda doesn't support your point.

It actually is really saying that anything someone does immediately pisses you off.

I think his problem is that he's assuming that because people can do something, that that's the extent of the gameplay's depth.

Oh no, Kirby can Swallowcide people and because that's all some players do, clearly this is a sign that Kirby's gameplay is shallow.
Mario can throw fireballs/pills and people can get hit by them. This is obnoxious because he has a projectile and people used to and or still do spam it.
Samus can shoot missiles of varying types from across the stage, making it more annoying to chase her. This is bad because it's a sign that there's no counterplay since not everyone has a shine/reflector.
Ness can use PK Fire at one commonly used angle as an aerial. If it hits, he can typically follow it up unless they use the fabled DI to get out of it. DI doesn't work, which has already been proven. Problem.
Falco personally prefers the air, clearly this is an issue because where do these players try to throw you? The air. DUH

See, your problem is that you also still have a particular mindset about "stupid moves"

The counterplay for PK Fire is incredibly easy.
  1. Don't get hit by it. It takes ages to come out, isn't a particularly fast projectile, and has predictable movement.
  2. Shield it. PK Fire doesn't activate on shield, and Ness isn't really fast enough to use it to pressure your shield or anything.
  3. If you do get hit by it, just use SDI and escape just about instantly and prevent followups.

Your mistake is thinking that bad players understand what moves are actually good, and which just work well at low-level play.

PK Fire is a great example, because low-level players don't understand the abundance of counterplay available in that situation. It's not actually that good of a projectile at all. Something like Falco's lasers are many, many times better, but because they're harder to use at low-level play, low-level players don't use it or regard it as something that is particularly powerful.

Then why are you complaining about it?? You just said that you don't have trouble with it? Maybe you need to play against people who are better at the game.

Ok...

but have you try to play friendlies with people who are better??
Because if you're able to read most of your opponents strats to think there abused, then you definitely need to battle more High-level play Smashers

I don't have trouble with anything, but every example I give is an example of unbalanced gameplay. I'm aware that balance has nothing to do with attack variety, but it doesn't matter in this situation because I'm right and you're wrong.

Did you see my video complaining about up-tilt combos? It's of Smash 64, and that is a pretty unbalanced game. I'm scared that this easy game is devolving into it and while I would clearly win every game because of how amazing I am, I don't like that these games have things in common ever.

The big problem is that I'm bored with playing people because I'm a bastion of variety and skill and they're all just scrubs who abuse very simple strategies and don't go for the big stuff like me. Y'see, they're like someone in an animation studio constantly redrawing the same image in order to get to their final result. I'm like a Picasso painting, unique and special.

I don't get why you're annoyed that others spam PKfire, seems pretty apparent that you tried to do the same thing and it didn't work. Git gud scrub.

If you don't like dash dance grab or combos doing 60% have you considered playing vanilla pm? More commonly known as brawl it sports significant nerfs to both the dash dance and the combo game.

Riiiiiiight. Clearly your issue is the people you play with, and you're just complaining about the game because you can't complain to/about them. If you dislike playing against people that do certain things so much, maybe you should take a Smash break and play Hello Kitty Island Adventure or something appropriate to your level of stress management.

Trolling kind of breaks down when people are this bored.

It's actually entertaining to participate. Keep the ball rolling.

Every time he posts I get a little giggle.


Also PK Fire isn't safe as you claim, that's laughable. Projectile has 20 frames startup, IASA on 48 grounded, in the air lag is forever and he has like 12 frames landing lag.

Ugh, Binary Clone, you know that it doesn't have to be safe, reliable, or good to spam it. All you need to do is hold sideways and hit B. Then you can spam it all you please, damned be the consequences.

@ P Psychostoner , I strongly suggest that you work on your DI and SDI. When opponents see that you are falling for something over and over again they are going to keep doing it. You should catch yourself falling for this and figure out ways around it whether it be through better DI/SDI, better positioning, etc. It all really just takes practice and will probably not be instantly noticeable; it takes time. You might want to read up on some of the Advanced Techniques when you get a chance.
