I thought that hitting shield had more frames of attacker hitlag than just hitting the opponent. Well, my :GCB:

Haha, well hey still try to not let that totally influence your decisions. It's important to play who you enjoy.

Have you seen Saus? His Link is awesome. I think Link and DK are pretty untapped. You see Young Links do pretty well, so I don't see why Link couldn't. I spent like 2 days labbing Link stuff and then went against some friends with him and he's got some really neat tricks with bomb placement and...

I would say so. I run a Wii HDMI adapter through my 21" Insignia LCD TV and it works beautifully. It's not a Smart TV either, so it has very minimal post-processing which also have the option to be disabled, which I of course do. Before I got my adapter I would run the standard composite cables...

20xx is a great resource for learning this. I just sat in training mode jumping in place doing different aerials until I got it consistently. Then I would move on to hitting the cpu every time when using an aerial to adjust to the different timing. I actually learned l-cancelling on shield just...

Have you tried searching for groups on Facebook? In South Carolina some of the names look like SC Smash, SC Melee, Charlotte Smash, NC Smash. So maybe try something like those, you might get something.

I wholeheartedly agree with Bones. I find most of the characters to be considerably underrated. I only take tier lists half seriously to be honest, they can be a decent representation of the roster, but they are also built by people who sometimes don't fully understand the game and the potential...

I'm usb loading SSBM through Dios Mios on a homebrewed wii. I attempted to convert my iso, but I'm getting an error. The converter verifies that my iso is vanilla, and begins constructing the beta build. The next line of text reads 'xdelta3-x86_64-3.0.10.exe' is not recognized as an internal...

If claw grip works for you then stick with it. Unless, if you need to claw specifically for jump cancels/waveshines, then I would suggest practicing for a bit in training mode. I jump cancel with X. I actually learned jump cancels/waveshines with Falco first (mostly because at the time I was...

Nair is a better combo tool for the most part since it has less knockback, but there are many kill combos/setups where nair benefits as a strong finisher. It's all experimentation, though. Be sure to be creative with your combos.

Well I'm not a Samus player, but I have been experimenting with Ivy a lot today, and I have a friends who plays Samus. I would say the biggest noticeable difference is Ivy's lack of reliance on projectiles, and also inability to throw them out rapidly. Ivy benefits a lot from the reach of the...

I wouldn't go that far lol. I agree that Mario is pretty basic to play, but in a pair of skilled hands Mario's not a pushover.

If I get a combo off that I thought was pretty nice, I usually will do Mario's hat-off taunt. If I SD as Fox I like to do "Hear I come!" I think it's funny c: If I'm playing Falcon and my opponent SD's, I like to use "Come on! Show me your moves!" one after another. I like to use it...

Grab punishes with Yoshi work. I don't play Yoshi, but arguably one of the best players at the college I go to is a Yoshi main, so we play a lot. Unless Falco's shooting lasers, he doesn't really have anything with range, but Yoshi's tongue will go sooooo far. I would say it's important to play...

There not really a set "beginner character" that you can play. Some revolve around certain playstyles/fundamentals, but they are all unique and complex in their own way. Just play whoever you like, and specialize in them. Learn their options and their movement, and if you aren't very good at...
