Go ahead and take me off the list, I'm gonna focus on Melee anyways so my opinion on her really doesn't have any relevance. ^Also way to add rational and constructive content to the discussion. Thanks for taking the thread to newly productive heights...

My opinion on 3.5 zss is still mixed. On one hand, we got a lot of things we thought we wanted, like a normal grab, a fixed Fair, a less junky upsmash, etc. I understand the changes. I agree with a lot of them, even the nerfs like Dair and flip jump. I understand that PDC + normal grab would...

I suppose you can put me on for the return to 3.0 ZSS. I never played her competitively so idk how much my opinion of the character should count but I was actually really hype to start going to PM tourneys with ZSS and then I got the game and my hype was gone. Very sad much nerfed.

At this point I get the feeling "I'd rather be playing Falco. In Melee." I'll be doing just that in tournaments in a week and I don't feel like entering PM with Zss like this. That's not a good thing lol.

I was initially really meh about the changes but I played around with her more and stuff I liked about ZSS is still there, plus we can combo into grabs and do safer reaction based tech chases (which I am more consistent with than reads). but I am sad about paralyzer. Rip paralyzer dash cancel...

I assume that this means that the reverse hit of Fsmash has lower bKB ie it isn't going to pop up for comboes at low percentage as well. I don't have the game yet (brawl disk broke) but that seems like the most obvious potential result of that. When I get the game (whenever the Mac version...

You can "flipstool" them with her downB by holding B. You do a footstool off of them, which sends them downwards a bit. It trips them if they are grounded, and sends downwards if they are in air. You can't do a spike or meteor with the dive kick though. Her actual footstool has some cool and...

If he rolls predictably, chase after him with a grab. You won't miss too much once you get the hang of it, just react to the start of the roll and space it so the grab should hit him in the ending animation of the roll, before he can dodge. (Rolls aren't invincible for the whole animation) Roll...

I watched the brawl stream yesterday, and I will say that I actually enjoyed watching the 1-stock ruleset brawl games. (I tuned in to watch some melee, didn't realize that it wasn't on until later, but still liked watching brawl top 8) Definitely felt more exciting to watch than 3 stock brawl...

Yes. The running dsmash is run>crouch>dsmash. But you can't truly crouch out of initial dash, only out of run. To dsmash out of the actual dash animation you need to wavedash out of the dash. (Dash is initial dash, like when you can dash dance; in a run you can't do that quick turnaround anymore)

It'll probably come back after some practice, just a little frustrating. Quick question about the SH fastfall auto cancel Up-air, do I want to do a rising Uair ASAP after jump then fastfall at peak of jump? Or should I ff late/on hit?

Speaking of platform shield drops, shield drop up airs are great. Escapes pressure and can totally turn the tables. Especially since downward hitting aerials seem to often lose or trade with upward hitboxes. Also, it's been 3 weeks since I've last played and turns out I literally can't waveland...

Shine also involves traction, at least for grounded fox shine. Might be other stuff. Shine is weird tho, not too many moves like it.

I meant more hi-mid, top 15. Clearly viable with strong neutral and punish game, lots of mobility and a pretty good recovery, but has some issues due to sub-par OoS game and punishable grab etc. she's mid tier but feels strong. Still, shield pressure can get so silly these days that buffering a...

couldn't you also just watch them coming, know the spacing of fox dash>SHFFL Nair (which we all should, 20XX isn't that far off) and react to their jump (preferably to the Nair startup if you are quick, so you don't try to CC a Dair or shield a tomahawk>grab) with either CC, shield, or evasive...
