Right. You can cancel a run by hitting down, but you can't "dash cancel" (which is really a "run cancel") out of a dash, which is what I said.

You're confusing Dash and Run. Can't do any grounded attacks out of dash unless you pivot. He's crazy. It's not worth giving up stage position, especially since you're most likely to just hit his shield (unless you have a SUPER strong feel for when your opponent likes to take an out of shield...

If someone CCs DB1, can you counter that with the fastest timing of DB2 (assuming you see them crouch before the DB1 hit or read the CC)? Maybe a better way to ask is: is DB2 a true followup on CCed DB1, or is it a pseudo combo dependent on your opponent not buffering a defensive option? Is...

I think for PM we should probably just copy Chicago's Wavedash Wednesday ruleset, since it's most familiar to the region: Project: M Ruleset * Player's Choice Clause: You may play by a rule outside of this ruleset if your opponent agrees to it as long as it does not deliberately delay the...

I assume that this is going to be singles only?

https://www.facebook.com/Reactiongames0 is their facebook page and they always put the events on there, but afaik they don't post on smashboards

Make sure you include Reaction Games in South Bend. They host a ~biweekly Melee/Sm4sh tournament on Sundays as well as friendlies on the off weeks.

I have to somewhat disagree with this. While you never want to get desperate, your neutral should be goal-oriented, and those goals are going to change depending on %. Playing a "standard neutral game" regardless of your opponent's % is a bad idea, and that kind of thing is usually what leads to...

Yeah you just have to space so that the very tip of fsmash extends over the ledge

I made a post in the matchup thread about some stuff MK has against G&W. None of it really addresses your specific problem with the bacon though. Still, should be helpful. Your best bet is probably to dash in when he short hops and either get behind him and punish the baconing or hit him...

Yeah, you're absolutely right about that. But with multiple decent options, it's up to the player's own mixups to keep MK's recovery safe.

I can only really speak about G&W, but here goes: For the most part you want to RAR your shorthop approaches in neutral, because MK's 1) bair is amazing, as bubbaking said, and 2) tomahawk grab (landing behind him) will really cause the G&W to doubt his CC game. But of course don't get...

Oh also I just tested it and you can pretty much always dair trade with spacies upb if they's forced to recover straight vertical.

If you don't have a friend available, just go to Dracula's for the huge blast zones. That way you can set the CPU to ~60% and hit him with the full DC hit (the angle is lower than fsmash) and it almost always gives you an angle to trade with upb. It was easy to set up with both DK and Snake...

I'm in the lab now, and can confirm that MK's dair trades with Snake's upB. It's really easy actually. While practicing it I never SDed, but I did get hit and not have my dair connect very few times. Well worth the risk though. I think Rolex has said that MK is snake's worst MU, and with that...
