How can u dodge a sucide by bowser, kirby, and king dedede

If it's by Kirby or DDD, press buttons wildly to get out.
If it's a Bowsercide or Ganoncide, there's nothing you can do once they grab you. And do note that they do go through shields, just like grabs.

With Bowser you can direct it if you are a lower damage. If you're higher... than it's probably a better trade for you. ^_^

If you mash buttons you can escape from Kirby and Dedede's mouths.

Of course sometimes these deaths are inescapable.

ZSS' paralyzer moves have high hitlag, not hitstun.

afaik hitstun is always proportional to knockback.

ok then...which moves has highest hitstun then?

 

[infomon]

...

moves with high knockback.

 

[brinboy789]

...

moves with high knockback.

marth FS ftw...

 

[infomon]

.... are you sure you didn't mean to ask about hitlag?
.......... I guess Marth's tippers have both high hitlag and knockback *shrug*

I'm trying to get good with ROB, Donkey Kong, and Falco, I would like some tips on them. mainly falco I have a hard time recovering if I try to spike and I've got chain grabbing down.

 

[CommanderCody08]

here is a good Falco tip thread. http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=166854

I want to know is DI the same in brawl as it was in melee? How has DI changed? Where is a good place to learn about DI? How do you DI?

Excellent video about DI. Covers everything and easy to follow.

He counters Metaknight, but you have to fight really well, don't let him get you in the air.
Watch out for Lucario. Don't underestimate or overestimate.

Whoh. Okay, Snake is definately not a counter for Meta Knight.
AFAIK, Meta Knight doesn't even have any proven counters... Just evens.

Add my code. I'll show you. 8PM tonight.

Heh. Sorry, I've got plans tonight...
And, wifi matches don't prove anything. (laggg...)

My point was that Meta Knight has no proven counters.
The only semi-accepted counter I've heard for Meta Knight is Diddy Kong on Final Destination.
And, even that proposed counter's still debateable. (Not everyone's Diddy is as good as NinjaLink's. )

 

[MastaShake99]

can somebody send me the links for the character weight list and the one that shows which characters are best and worst at which stages?

Ah this is embarrasing but I have this camper/spammer and for god only knows he keeps on winning. I don't know what to do.

 

[GwJ]

Keep playing him. Eventually you will learn how to deal with campers. Hell, I see you're Link. He spams might fine himself. Make use of his boomerangs, bombs, and arrows.

what are some good tactics when in a tourney?(i use) if possible send me a message.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

You're best off asking the Lucario boards. I hang out there sometimes. They're good guys.

Lol. You switched mains?

... Anyway, like Terios said, the Lucario boards would be your best bet.

Is there a significant amount of lag when using Wavebird controllers as opposed to regular GC ones? Furthermore, how does the Wavebird lag (if there is any) interact with Wifi lag?

 

[Melomaniacal]

Quick question about tournaments. I'm heading to my first Brawl tournament tomorrow, and I just had the thought "how do we organize tags?" Do we make them as we go for each set, or am I supposed to tell the TO my tag ahead of time?

well with the tourneys that I go to, you tell the TO's ahead of time, and they organize everything

im pretty sure there are 2 frames of button lag. wavebird has nothing to do with Wifi lag.

Step by Step Pivot Grab

1- Run
2- press the opposite direction you are running and grab at the same time
3- pummep (if you want
4- Throw

fixed

10char

 

[Tangy]

an alternate method is to run, press the a button to initiate the dash attack, then quickly press z and the opposite direction you're running.

another way is to hit down on the c-stick to initiate the dash attack, then press z and the opposite direction. this method works better for certain characters like falco. all you need to work on is the timing.

 

[Deoxys]

Is there a comprehensive list of the best direction to DI through escape any move/lock that can be DI'd out of, or does someone have to start one?

 

[Sunstar]

I am sorry for asking here... but i can't find it...
a chart that shows the endurace or weight of the single characters... who is the heaviest, who is the lightest... the order is important for me

does anyone have a link? (not that green one )

Is there any way to effectively punish someone who constantly grabs? I play someone who only grabs as their approach. I know spot-dodging and then countering is good, but I was wondering if there are any other tips that could help.

projectiles are a big plus against grab spammers. try to stay aerial for the most part. and dont get grabbed?

lemme guess. your opponent is either D3 or olimar. am i right?

haha, surprisingly not. He plays Diddy and thinks that he has to always grab.

Yeah I've found that fireballs mixed with quick B-airs with Mario seem good and Zairs and missiles with Samus.
I was just wondering if there was anything else. Thanks.

 

[AvoiD]

Never quite figured it out, but it's a grab-release question.

Afer you have grabbed them, when you release, how do they jump into the air, rather then stay grounded and a few inches away.

Is there a certain way to do it, or nahh?
