I noticed that Samus' down-throw appears to always Game & Watch directly into a grounded state. What's going on here? Does this happen when Samus down-throws any other characters?

I'm not an expert on falco so I can't help you that much, but one useful thing is fast double jumps, since they get you to a height between shorthop and full jump.

This has been super useful for a few situations. Here are a couple ideas I've had - -More variance in height of the lasers for powershield training (right now it never shoots low ones) -Option to change % for uthrow upair minigame, to practice different timings. Keep up the great work :)

Blackstone's ratio: "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer" This is why cases like this are unacceptable, imo. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/article-steven-galloway-says-his-life-is-destroyed-after-ubc-payout/

I'm pretty sure M2K does this, if it's viability you're worried about, but I think for him he does it when he's on the ledge. I definitely feel like it could be a bit slow for JC grab/ upsmash. As for for hand health, I used claw "full-time" for a while but I now use a standard grip. I think...

That's definitely a possibility. If you have other controllers, try comparing the boards inside, otherwise try googling what it should look like. If you don't have a triwing they're pretty cheap, but you might have a hard time opening the controller up if the screws are stripped.

In this reddit thread, someone suggested using a tool called "MultiPatch" - it was free and didn't look too sketchy. Anyways, it successfully spat out an iso and I could get dolphin to use it, but I haven't got my mayflash with me, so I can't actually check if it worked. Anyways, try command-F...

Triangle jumping.

Walking down the sidewalk for like 20 mins on garbage day, depending where you live, often can yield one for free... if there's ever an electronics recycling collection somewhere near you, I don't think people mind if you take stuff from those kinds of things either.

In 3.02 at least, which I have, X+Dpad-down removes the overlay in training mode.

The one piece of advice I would give based on my experience is to NOT main fox or falco. First of all, no matter how much time you think you can put into practice, these two characters, especially fox, make you have to think more about your movement than actually playing, while you're learning...

First of all, being able to do something in training mode and being able to pull it off mid-game / mid-set are very different things. When practising, you can devote 100% of you're attention to executing something. In a game, you want to not even have to think about it, so that you can worry...

Does anyone know how much slower empty-pivot (aka "perfect pivot") to uptilt is?

It's tricky to answer those questions, but, if you don't already use this, instant double jumps can be really useful instead of full hops, especially against floaties.

I'm coming back to the game after a year: have there been any important new tech discovered or tricks put into practice? Thanks.
