ProfessorPro and some others feel that it's better to not use C-Stick because of the buffering (which will still be affected by hitstun). This makes it so that you're kind of forced to react to when you'll actually jump vs. when you think you'll jump. Even if non-C-Stick jumps are slower, at...

Learning to love the learning process will make Melee a lot more enjoyable. Right now I'd focus on solo practice. Sometimes do some practice with people to see if you can apply the stuff you practiced solo, but you need to spend 90% in solo practice; you don't have the muscle memory yet, and...

Move your control stick downward like you normally would for the shield drop (don't do it too fast though or else you'll spot dodge), then roll your stick to the back air position and hit A. Or just use the C-Stick and get the Bair.

Haven't finished all the matches yet. But after watching the first one and half the second, I don't really get why you don't pressure the edge/side of the stage they're trying to recover from; you're just sitting there double lasering and letting them have a free ride back. Other than that...

Hmm. My friend seems to like it, and he's fairly experienced, so there's that. Guess it could work if someone wanted brand new. I'd be hesitant to recommend it. Nice nice. I'm currently using my original 1st Party Gamecube Indigo controller. The rubber padding has fallen off of that one and my...

GG Better than 1st Party, eh? :troll: Edit: The version that the OP got...Idk, right out of the box it felt like trash. Just cheap everything. :/ Then the controller nub wore out so fast it broke off. Oh gawd this one...I have no idea why the fk the wireless connection on that is so...

Actually, I think it's the other way around; L for shield, R for wavedash is more common, due to SSB64 being only able to shield with your left index finger. But ultimately doesn't matter. Just make sure that you do one with one finger and the other for wavedash. Just makes life simpler when...

I felt that way for years, when I couldn't find a way to break into the competitive scene. But back then at least I had casual friends who were willing to play with me. Try posting in the player finder thread in your region, or find a facebook group in your region. If nothing else, keep...

Dash dancing also gives the illusion of speed, because of the constant erratic movement, coupled with the unpredictability of what may/may not happen out of it (Dash Dance OP). But yeah, everything that SAUS said too.

Dry hands are best. A little moisture/sweat from playing a lot of games intensely is fine. Too much though and bad things happen. Not to mention it feeling really weird/dirty (Which then affects my mindset).

If you mean hold Shield, then down, then jump then b for shine...I think the holding down part before jumping might hinder you (if you accidentally spotdodge on accident). But yeah, that's more or less how I do it. I shield and jump with X. Then move over to press B. Unfortunately this means...

I use A almost exclusively, and I never have trouble holding momentum/DI/messing up on fast falling/trying not to fast fall. I'm just used to it this way, and it hasn't been an issue for me. If you don't wanna use C-Stick, make sure to make your A and Controller inputs correctly fast, and then...

I call it the Fox Bible for a reason. XD Yes. It's possible. Just gotta be fast. And find a method that works for you, while being able to play regularly in a match (don't use standard holding, then convert to claw midmatch just to pull off lasers. >.> Doesn't seem worth it to me) Do keep in...

The bigger problem I find with starting out with a "low tier" character, is people generally get gated fast on what they can/can't do. And they also don't see huge power spikes as fast, because of it. Then when they try to switch, they are reluctant to, because they already spent so much time on...

Yep, that's Dark for ya.
