If Falcon is an option, Falcon is the answer.

To replicate a CRT as close as possible you'll want to eliminate as many sources of lag as possible. Use a GC adapter that works with Dolphin's "direct connect" native mode. These include the Wii U official one and Mayflash 4-port. For display lag, use a fast monitor and disable Windows Aero...

I know some people are having problems with it but i'm loving version 5886 with native mode. It eliminates so much lag. And the emulation performance is better than 652.

Yes, I second what Spak said. If you're not running at a constant 60 fps offline something is wrong. As for netplay, I personally have found it pretty useful for training against human opponents. Just don't grind out your tech skill there. Learn that offline, preferably on CRT.

I would give ebay another try. I've had a lot of success finding old games there, and in the event of a scam the buyer is protected and refunded 100% by ebay/Paypal. A good way to avoid scammers is to buy from sellers that are "Top Rated Plus", which means they have a history of selling items as...

I love wavedashing, wish it was in all versions of Smash.

I've got a 1 ms gaming monitor and the Sewell hdmi adapter for Wii. I think that's about as good as it gets without a CRT. I still plan to get one at some point but this setup is sufficient for the time being. Of course, most LCD TVs aren't nearly as fast as good monitors.

I have two of the new white ones with the Smash logo. The buttons feel stiffer than my old controllers. Gonna try to find a new "old" production one, but they haven't made them for years have they? Edit: Looks like they I forgot about those white ones without the Smash logo, imported from...

It has to be both for me. I like to win, but not at the cost of my preferred playstyle. Not going to stall or camp. If I can't win with offense, combos or style that just means I need to practice more.

I actually really want Melee HD, but with NO changes whatsoever except graphics and an online mode (that isn't just FD). It'll never happen though, Nintendo wants to push Smash 4 and not encourage Melee.

You can't really say you're not trying to offend anyone, then use a blanket statement like "they have a very backwards thought process". You have to understand, you criticizing Melee people for playing Melee is just as bad as the hate Smash 4 gets which you take exception with. I haven't seen...

I have to disagree with you here. People don't play Melee because they're living in the past. They play it because it is more enjoyable as a competitive game. At least, that's where I'm coming from. I don't live in the past. I own a Wii U, and I own Smash 4. I've played all the Smash games...
