    Question real quick

    I have the PowerA and love it. Only downside is no rumble on the PowerA wireless, but I got used to that fairly quickly

    SMASH TAGS! your opinions on them?

    I’d love more details added to them. A few opponent details that I think would make them more interesting: - GSP of opponent - Character opponent was playing - Country of opponent - A button to give the opponent a thumbs up, saying “that was a great match”. I’d love if we could do...

    Why is your main your main?

    :ultsnake: Loved him in Brawl, love him in Ultimate. I am a big fan of the ability to have 65 hitboxes exploding on every corner of the screen at once. Also, I think Snake would still be high tier even if he was only as strong as Squirtle, but no. Sakurai made him a super heavy mega smash hard...

    Parrying

    Why would anyone intentionally parry, when short hop fair is a safer option? Not a very useful mechanic from what I’ve seen so far. It’s just too risky with too little reward.

    I liked when he was slippery

    I LOVED Captain Falcon in Smash 4. Despite the negative general opinion on that game, it did Cap justice. Running was very ‘slippery’ in Smash 4 and it really helped C. Falcon. For example, you could sprint through an opponent, then flick the stick backwards while grabbing and Captain would...

    Training Mode exploit

    Ah, yes. I can’t believe I never noticed that before. Thank you sir for opening my eyes.

    Most wanted characters in Smash?

    I’d love to see a 3rd party from a great franchise that was really Nintendo-inspired. The N64/PS1 age was full of great platformers that we’re clearly inspired by the video game foundations set forth by Nintendo in the 90’s. It only makes sense to honor these characters in Smash. Plus, they’d...

    Quickplay: Taunt Messages

    When I get 3-stocked I like to be salty and say “You almost had me!”

    Common Mistakes in Online

    Quickplay puts a lot of emphasis on the “quick” part. The main goal of quick play is to get you in a match ASAP. That’s why a lot of people get placed in matches that aren’t their preferred rules. Background Matchmaking, on the other hand, prioritizes your preferred rules. It takes a minute...

    smash turn bair

    Look up RAR (reverse aerial rushdown). I am not the person to teach you, but there are lots of good posts/videos on the topic.

    Common Mistakes in Online

    Big mistake I make: - Teabagging after the first kill. And the second.... and when I get killed... and mid match. Big mistake lots of people make: - Using quicklplay to find a match instead of Background Matchmaking (aka the way online matchmaking should be).

    What’s the most underrated simple mechanic that people ignore?

    Dashing instead of rolling. Lots of newbies roll 6 times to get away from an aggressive opponent, but rolling is slow and easily punishable. The best way to get away from attackers or projectiles is to run and/or jump. Also, there are so many options out of dash that allow you to punish a...

    Official Smash Ultimate Online General Discussion

    If you are in a situation where “almost everyone” is better than you, then DI is the least of your worries. I never formally train Smash, and barely ever visit training mode (I’m more casual than competitive), but I still hover at 2.9-3.3mil GSP with my roster. Instead of focusing on combos and...

    Online Quickplay Suggestions/Improvements

    Another thing I wondered about battle arenas is: why not have the ability for 2 simultaneous matches? When you have a 1v1 lobby with 8 people, there’s 6 people waiting in queue at any time. It would be nice if there could be 2 queues and 2 matches, that way the lobby would rotate more frequently...

    Quickplay: Taunt Messages

    Yes, yes, yes! We need to use taunt messages and rematches more often. I love playing a best of 5 against an opponent who uses taunt messages well. We start of respectful, then by game 5 we’re just messing around and joking with each other. My favorite is “eat this - - - MEGASMASH!” It’s so...
