I mean like when people use the same move thought the whole match. It doesn't like really bother me. Its just why?

List what characters and what moves they use, and maybe give some tips on how to stop them doing it, and make them look stuipid in the process.

I come across alot of kirby - B downers.

Pikachu B downers

Pit B across - (oh god)

Today I just found out that when kirbys in the oblect state after the move, you can grap them! If everyone already knows about this then I look stupid, but I used it alot today.

Welcome to Super Smash Bros. You're going to have to get used to n00bs who spam and don't want to fight online. Also everyone pretty much knows you can grab Kirby out of the rock form. You can hit out if you hit hard enough

I spam Kirby's taunts and Captain Falcon's taunts and Falcon Punch. If I can suck up a Captain Falcon, I then spam Kirby's Falco! Punsh!
I doubt I irritate anyone gameplay-wise.
Mental-health-wise? I've made a lot of people hate Kirby.

One time I was playing against Kirby and I was DK. I found it quite easy to charge up a punch wait till she down-b'd and then punch the crap outta her.

I like to go in free-for-alls with Pit and use nothing but his side-B. I usually win.

Air dodging is the answer. Short hop air dodge roll. And when you're near enough use your characters techniques.

Well, you can DESTROY them so you can have a good match with the other players if you are playing a 3 or 4 player game. Or you can spam a good move or combo on them and show them how they feel. That's all I got to offer, I know there are more, so I guess you have to read other posts.

Pit's Forward B and Meta Knight's Forward B are by far the WORST spams I get. Pit's is easy to deal with though. I main with the IC's too, so all I have to do is get to the other side of Pit, Chain grab and then BYAWWWWWWW.

You forgot to mention Link/TLink's dair.

Anyway, this is the reason why online shouldn't be taken serious at all, because spamming is a fairly effective technique online, but offline, it is much easier to punish.

I think Nintendo is on to me... While i spam my pika pika taunt or kirby's ever annoying "HI, HI, HI..."

I sometimes get disconnected for no reason and when i DONT spam anything, i dont dc?

I think this is a sign that Nintendo is watching us but never watches our servers filling with something horribly invented called "lag"

This isnt really relevant to online play but ok, your talking exclusively wifi spammers. I think alot of people are very sick of the poor wifi capabilities of smash and could not be bothered playing to anywhere near their full fighting potential and are just spamming you to annoy you.
It's pretty common on "With Anybody" these days.

Tap shield, see how long it takes for your shield to come out.

Do your shields and dodges ahead of time.

Jump over projectiles (Most Pits will be inaccurate with their arrows online).


Also, "With Anybody" is a great way to find newbs. If you want to be exposed to people's playstyles and there aren't people to play with offline, try finding people in chatrooms or matchmaking sites.

allisbrawl.com has an awesome online smash community and some amazing players that can leave you in awe because they can make online play look like offline ;3

It's called 'killing the spammer'.
Kill them and kill them fast, else they'll steal your potential kills, and worse yet win.

Space well and shield when you need to, punish them for all of their spam.

i no this one kid that plays DDD and spams side-b.

the same kid also spams pit's neutral b.
i just wait for an opening and then punish him when he gets close, so shield grab often. usually people who spam arent too good in close ranged fights, so be just be patient and wait for a grab; then take it from there.

I spam a lot online. It's not like a tourney where everything is srs business, so I'll just abuse Sonic's YOU'RE TOO SLOW and spring, or play an overly defensive Dedede with only ftilts dtilts and waddle dee spam. And nothing is greater than winning a match with only falcon punches.

I was playing "With Anyone" earlier today and there was an Ike that did nothing but fsmash. It was annoying to say the least, mostly 'cause it was all of a sudden effective because of the laggy 3 player melee. He also stole a KO of mine when I threw a pitfall at someone and he walks up and fsmashes him. "With Anyone" is really just a waste of time; I don't know why I ever play that mode from time to time.

What I do is if someone is getting really annoying because of spamming, I chose that chracter and the color and beat them with it. Most of the time they have no idea how to use the char and quit...

I hate it when I wipe out a 'With Anyone' free for all using a character like Ike or Sonic in a legitimate manner (Spacing/movereading with Ike, chasegame/mindgame/combos/etc with Sonic) and some newbcake thinks I'm spamming and tries to use the character and uses it in the most inefficient way possible (move spamming with Ike, spindash spamming with Sonic) the next game.

I usually single them out for being a nuisance/insult the next game `.`;

With Friends > With Anyone ;d

The worst ones are the Zelda side B spammers and pikachus in general

I wonder if they actually realize how much they suck

I can usually make a spammer leave after about 3-4 matches. Single them out and destroy them every time

I actually TRY to suck online ( it's hard not to, what with lag), because even if I start doing remotely good (shielding, spacing, etc.), people leave. And we all know how hard it is to get a match without CPU's, or even a match at all :ohwell:

Pikachu Down B - Use Lucas's PSI Magnet. Make sure the magnet covers Pikachuor absorbs the bolt before it hits Pika. Release it after and Pika will receive some damage. Easier to do on the ground but works in midair too.

Pit Side B - DI away.

Kirby Down B - Grab or C4 stick them with Snake. I just learned you can stick them even when Kirby is still a stone. Detonate when they jump to do it again and it will be a KO if he's over 40%.

I'm the type of spammer that haunts your nightmares, I'm the guy that mixes in just enough other moves so that you look like a Johnnie.

Yes, I'm a Fox. Yes, it ALWAYS needs more Up-Tilt.

Welcome to Super Smash Bros. You're going to have to get used to n00bs who spam and don't want to fight online. Also everyone pretty much knows you can grab Kirby out of the rock form. You can hit out if you hit hard enough
you were able to grab kirby out of his rock form in the first super smash bros. game on the nintendo 64, which came out over 9 years ago
