Excellent write-up, probably a bit too technical for almost everyone except scmoob, magus, achilles, IE I'll probably have to give it a second read through later to parse all your work

Depends on the character you're facing. If they have a good ledgedash (fox), then you should stay center and threaten with spaced tilts and aerials. If they dont have a ledgedash (most marths) just stay outside their ledgehop aerial range. If they have a ledgedash that isn't very invincible...

Microinteraction #1: Sheik's fair will hit the most in front on frame 6, compared to nair's first active frame on 3. The observation you made about nair trading but fair winning has to do with sheik's nair having negative disjoint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA-fz3szZ8w&t=2m40s...

Here's why this happens: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/3yxahw/ssbms_antiground_infinite_combo_count_physics/ When you hit someone with a combo count > 5, your character starts getting pushed back 0.025 meleemeters/frame. This is why you need all 6 needles to set this up. So this would...

alright try adding me on facebook (look for darkatma on fb) and i'll add you into the group manually.

Hmm I'm very interested in buying a controller as well. darkatma: A0 A3 Smash White or JPN White I realize you're busy and probably backordered, could you let me know when you would be available for my order? I can probably pay via whichever method is easiest for you (but I live in America...

Might make this my first FC :P

You say that now :P 6 years later someone will drop by your house via smashboards archives

There should be a handful of people east of the river. Check our facebook group as well, many of them don't use smashboards yet. Also check out the webster monthly this weekend!

Some smash advice for people from yesterday's smashfest: Bees?: There are a couple things you could be doing in the marth spacies matchup to keep up with them a little better. VS falco you want to learn how to wavedash out of shield and use platforms to get around the laser game. You didn't...

Watch closely the angle that Taki chose in this situation. He chooses something slightly lower in an attempt to ride the wall for tech opportunities. Had the angle been anywhere between sheik's legs as she slid off, the firefox would have hit sheik and the edgeguard would have failed. The bair...

Needles can always cover the sweetspot if you time it correctly. You could potentially run off fastfall early fair and it might reach (don't quote me on that). As long as you fair early enough you can still recover from the fastfall. Someone else mentioned turnaround grab ledge for...
