    Q&A Game Play Advice and General Discussion

    There seems to be a fair amount of discussion in this thread on the topic of how to deal with opponents who play safe, and to be honest it's something that I struggle with as well. I main greninja, and I seem to do well by zoning so I can get in and punish the opponent when I see the...

    Social The Pond - Greninja General Discussion

    I meant to say utilt> ff uair >utilt to ss, my bad. It's not like a guaranteed combo or anything, depending on the characters horizontal air movement it may be an option if people don't immediately jump, I figure I can wait for the air dodge then punish with shadow sneak. If they jump I can...

    Social The Pond - Greninja General Discussion

    New greninja here; is there anyway to control whether greninja does the kick or flip out of shadow sneak? I've been labing utilt to ff dair to util to ss, seems like the kick is what you want for that follow up. . .

    Greninja's Kill Setups

    Thanks for posting this man, I picked up greninja last november and I've been working on getting the kill with greninja for the past 6 weeks. Learned a lot from the istudying videos at beast 6, great to see everything organized and concise here.

    Q&A Game Play Advice and General Discussion

    What can I do to get better at following up and getting the kill? I'm a greninja main, and I've attended locals in my area. I do alright and I've been told I'm good player, and that I'm good in the neutral and playing footsies. That's greninja's b&b so I do alright with that. I do alright in...

    Atlantic North [Nov 25, 2015] Fountains of Dreams Weeklies (Middletown, NY)

    When's the next smash 4 event? I used to be a competitive brawl player up in the syracuse/cny scene. Finally graduated from school last may and I have the free time to have a life again! I'm a total scrub at this point, but I got good in brawl real quick getting out to events frequently...

    Competitive Board "Meta" Discussion

    I definitely think we need to consolidate information. I think there should be ONE topic for physics exploits, both new and returning, and there should be ONE topic for new AT's. There should be a list in the first post with a link to the post that describes said AT/Physics exploit. More...

    Is Falco actually bad in this game or is he just being bashed too much?

    There's a replay tab that you can use to record some of his old matches with your cell! And I remember shugo, he's a really good player!

    Is Falco actually bad in this game or is he just being bashed too much?

    I was a falco main in brawl. . . . can anyone post videos to show me what good falco players are doing with the character in sm4ash? @o-Serin-o , @Sir Tundra, @KingChaos , Im not questioning the validity of your statements, jyst some footage to restore the faith! Ive seen the shojou fox v...

    Q&A Mechanics & Techniques Discussion

    I was wondering if it would be possible to start a thread in the competitive discussion compiling all the advance techs in this game that arent character specific. Things like glide tossing, roll cancel grabbing etc come to mind. Ive been lurking a lot and its become apparent to me that there...

    What can I do to improve my Greninja? (videos inside)

    I think you should zone a little more with the shurikens, and def mix it up with shadow sneak! I love using short hop shuriken mindgames forcing them to approach. I switch between that and being aggro. I only watched the first video though. I thought you where using dair to much. Tbh using...

    Q&A Falco, King of the Birds: Game Play Discussion

    Just downloaded the game and played falco. . . pretty depressed! I feel like he has much less options then he did in brawl, and most of the things I did with him in brawl dont work now. It seems like all I'm doing with falco is dash attacking, jabbing, bair and nair and reading dodge rolls or...

    Q&A Falco, King of the Birds: Game Play Discussion

    I asked Zero if he'd be willing to demonstrate it in training mode on his stream. He did, plus several people in the chat say it's a thing now as well so yeah. . . By the way I think your analysis is spot on! Falco's going to be more aggro in this game IMO...
