You can really tell the stage editor was a last second throw-in, because it is so completely barebones. Look at the map edit for Starcraft, which came out 10 years ago. It is leagues and leagues ahead of Brawl's. I wasn't expecting anything that complicated, but a bit more than 3 backgrounds and...

There's no "fair" stages because no stage cannot give certain characters advantages. Platforms help against spammers or help people who attack through platforms on the ground. No platforms is great for spammers because there isn't a lot of places to easily avoid projectile spam. Etc. There is no...

Yeah I have boost smash/gatling down pretty much consistently. I still can't consistently SHDL Kirby after even maybe 3-4 hours of practice. Bah. My problem was that Falco would not dash attack, and would just do a hyphen smash when I hit up - z, but I think I got it fixed by slamming on the C...

I liked Melee better when SHL was easy as hell. Also, I can't boost smash as consistently with Falco as I can with Snake (I guess there's more frames to do Snake's? I don't know the frame science of the game) I can always Gatling combo (the timing is slower), but a lot of the times Falco won't...

I heard you aren't supposed to fastfall because you will always whiff it then.

They do help tech skills. Just getting the timing down on things, movements, and such. They don't DI that well so don't use them to help work out strings and such (guaranteed combos, such as the Gatling, don't really matter and you can practice it all you want.)

Yeah, thanks, that was the thread I was referring to. I still can't seem to get the timing right on the double laser. His post isn't that descriptive on it.

I mained Falco in Melee, but I've never been able to adjust to him in Brawl. I tried him out and just didn't like the style, but now I've sort of came back to him. I'm trying to practice the various tech skills, and I can not just get this SHDL down so it hits kirby like it should. (tried...

The tournament list would do better as a ranking if we could take a percentage of the people making the top 8, whatever, as a fraction of how many people were maining that character. Of course, without some form of character registration pre-tournament, this would be practically impossible.

A lot of times these are the worst Character boards for strategy because of all the furries and Lucario fanboys. There was a point where like half the threads were "HAPPY LUCARIO IS HAPPY =3" and stupid **** like that.

We'll just ignore Meta Knight because he's horribly overpowered anyways. Game and Watch's turtle is an insane aggressive move. It's the best approach in the game, eats up shields, does a lot of damage, can't really be punished or shieldgrabbed.

It's gotta be Ike; he kills faster than anyone else off the side.

Or they don't have the time or money to dedicate to traveling, and need someway to face good players? For me, there isn't anyone close to me that is that great, but I get my *** whopped by most of the good players I know over WiFi.

Yeah, it wouldn't make it past beta if the developers gave a **** about competitive play, but in their minds it barely exists. So they just didn't care about it because it's random and fun and they didn't think it would matter in the grand scheme of things.

No order, but 1) Falco's laser. Not quite as good as it was in Melee but still nots 2) Pit's arrows - no explanation needed 3) D3 Throw 4) PK Fire (Lucas) 5) Aura Sphere, especially at higher percentages off the edge.
