    Roll and Spam

    I've been playing Smash 4 since release but only recently started picking up Meta Knight. Against players who get up close and fight or even mixed range characters like Mewtwo then I do really well but against 'cheaper' Samus players (who just spam missiles/charge shots then run away the results...

    Dealing characters who jump and throw out aerials

    I'm only a For Glory scrub myself but, having played as and against my fair share of Shulks, I find that there's enough landing lag after his aerials that Meta Knight can go for a Dash Grab or even a Dimensional Cape if you can predict their spacing.

    How did you play when you were still "casual"?

    Nout wrong with that!

    Hi there, I joined because this game depresses me

    First thing I'd say is pick a character you like or one you think feels 'natural' to you and go on YouTube or the character forums on here. You get a few good guides for characters giving you some basic movement options are small combos and just start improving with that 1 character. Don't even...

    Any tips on how to become a better Toon Link/Cloud?

    I'm really good at reverse bomb tossing but I'm guilty of throwing them down when I mean to throw forward. God knows how?!

    How did you play when you were still "casual"?

    Smash 3DS How do you feel about the practicality of practicing on the 3DS?

    I don't have a wii U and have been playing on the 3DS since launch. Takes a few games to adjust your hands to the different button spacing but its easy enough to translate the buttons

    Any tips on how to become a better Toon Link/Cloud?

    Most Toon Link players love the bomb setups and, if you're going down that route then you need to learn Bomb Toss Cancelling (jump a split second before you throw the bomb to keep your momentum) but I find the Boomerang much more useful - being able to snipe players with it as well as saving my...

    How did you play when you were still "casual"?

    Back in Brawl I used the Wii Remote and NunChuck and thought grab was a waste of time. I'd just Dash Attack and Up Smash

    If You Could Add Two More Characters To Smash 4, Who Would It Be?

    For me it would be Krystal because the staff weilding antics would be good. Someone mentioned Toon Ganon too and HW version of Zelda. I'd also take Midna or Lana. Oh And Knuckles

    Finally on Board

    Hi I'm Bowcaster from England. Been using guides and advice on this site since I started to take Sm4sh seriously tho I'm mainly a For Glory player. Would like to attend some tournaments to see how badly I'd get rekt but money and time are constraints at the moment. I consider myself a half...
