So the player with the higher port number gets out of throw hitstun 1 frame earlier? Or am I misunderstanding that?

$300,000 is how much we've raised over the last five years since the marathon begin. $100,000 is the donation goal for just this year alone.

Ah I see. Well if that fails, I still think the best way to deal with any approaching enemy with ZSS is spotdodge uptilt.

Yeah I have a tournament on Saturday as well that I'll be playing ZSS in. I'd imagine zair would only work as an occasional mixup though since it's easily avoidable with its long startup time if you use it too much. Another counter to Diddy's jump grab that I've been looking into is ZSS's stun...

I'd say a Dsmash and dtilt would be pretty effective for this. Basically you want anything with a long active hitbox to guarantee your timing. It's may even be possible to abuse this off ledge by jumping off and doing a nair as a mixup. This obviously wouldn't work with Sheik though as the puff...

Yeah I almost feel like switching to a different character for this MU. How's Falcon vs Diddy? I've been using him as a secondary behind Zero Suit.

I was actually just looking at the BenQ RL2455HM since you can get it for $170 refurbished on their site. You say you'd recommend it?

I tend to be a bit of a completionist and so trying to 100% the challenges in this game is so damn annoying. There are so many RNG-based elements that completely ruin a thirty minute run through a challenge that's supposed to be extremely difficult. Ultimately that's kind of voluntary so there's...

We're finally being made switch from CRTs, and it's scary. I'm currently in the process of trying to find a new monitor to bring to tournaments/smashfests to use with Smash Wii U and was wondering what the consensus is within the rest of the community, and maybe this might help some of you guys...

I like the idea of these monthly updates to keep us up on things. Also I see you're crowdsourcing some of the research parts of the job which I think could help a lot.

Well you could reduce the stock count. Still I think it just wouldn't work as well for actual tournaments, but I do see it being a really fun idea for a sort of side event, almost like a crew battle but instead different people switching out you have one person with different character. It's a...

The leaks were pretty conclusive regardless of when they were released, primarily because of the videos that leaked which would have been near impossible to fake, as well as Nintendo issuing a copyright claim on the videos within a number of hours basically confirming that they were real. I'd...

I'm really wanting to try out Shulk. His Monado powers look like they'll have a lot of potential and take a lot of strategy to master. I'm hoping Link is good enough that I can at least use him as a secondary, solely because I want to use the Fierce Deity skin.

I don't think I'm understanding this correctly. So they choose three characters and assign them to sides, and if you are playing one of those characters your wins with that character will count towards that team?

If they hear about it, I'm sure it'll be patched, and with the amount of talk there has been already about it I'm sure it'll get to them eventually.
