    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    Not sure how you think Hero never benefits from Down B and goes into disadvantage if he doesn't pick anything. If you're recovering off stage and Hero is at the ledge with his down B up, and happens to not pick anything, he isn't in disadvantage. If you were FORCED to pick one of the four moves...

    Still don't understand why people are comparing Peach and Hero RNG. They different really, Good on South Australia for taking that measure. Peach's turnips all travel at the same speed. If she has a stitch face or dot face, you can dodge it the same as regular one. No variances. Mr. Saturns...

    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    I feel like the spells have different counter play though, which is why I need to be aware at the options. Shielding beats things like Snooze and the slashes. but loses to Hatchet Man and Magic Burst and sitting in shield can give him Oomph, Psych Up, Bonce, etc. for free. Running away beats the...

    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    Little bit of venting here about Hero, but maybe some people can offer me some pointers about playing against him. 1. The biggest problem for me playing against Hero is that the Down B menu appears by his portrait at the bottom of the screen and forces me to look away from everything that is...

    Best way back on stage?

    An underrated technique I think is just DAiring below the edge and recovering from there. Like you said, Fair is not good at beating opposing Fairs / Bairs off stage when above parallel to the stage. Nair can work depending on the move but is slow, and Bair is situational. However if you Dair...

    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    Yes, Bair OoS hits all characters pretty much, even pichu ( I haven't used it against olimar yet, but I imagine if it hits pichu it hits olimar). I would not call Bair a neutral move per se, because it doesn't auto-cancel well. It is a good, killing OoS option with decent range, but Wii Fit has...

    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    :ultzss:ZSS is probably the worst with olimar since flip kick denies UpAir juggles hard and her fair eats G&W alive because he can do nothing that fast from the front of him. Also her side B outranges everything G&W can do. :ultfox: is way too fast and forces G&W to approach, and yet he has...

    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    Okay, so I main G&W in Ultimate and anyone who thinks he is high mid tier clearly hasn't played him at length. Let me fix some common misconceptions: - UpB is not safe. You basically exchange being shield pressured to be above your opponent at which point you are very easily killed off the...

    The bonds of Mother and Child are strong, Rosalina and Luma to return!

    For what its worth, Luma now inches forward when doing jab again. When tethered it is a very very small distance and you can really only jab string 2 or 3 times before Luma moves back. When sent out though, you can go as far as you want. The distance is not very good though, and Luma will go...

    Social Survival of the Fittest - Wii Fit Trainer Thread

    There are some TKbreezy matches on youtube, and I believe he has a stream and youtube channel presence. Apparently BestNess plays Wii Fit into some matchups as well, but I'm not entirely sure how often that happens. Those are the only two that I know off the top of my head though.

    The bonds of Mother and Child are strong, Rosalina and Luma to return!

    I can't seem to get my footing with the new Rosalina. I love the character and still want to play her a bit, but I still find myself losing to players that are (this may sound pretentious but true) not really that good. What is everyone's bread and butter? Especially when it comes to neutral...

    Reverse Dacus wii fit trainer

    Yeah it can be done on 3DS, its just tricky. I can't seem to go as far in the video but I do get a slide. I can get Usmash and Jab, but I can't seem to do anything else, at least with the default control setting. Basically what you do is Jump Forward and as you land input a crawl backwards...

    Let's Work On Your Coordination: The WFT Video and Critique Thread

    a little more than a week ago I played a really good bowser and got some matches saved. I know it's not the best quality, but can someone take a look and comment? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-SoGYyWbOw :4wiifit: vs. :4bowser:

    Let's Work On Your Coordination: The WFT Video and Critique Thread

    Frame trapping is basically leaving time and baiting and punishing a reaction. For example if you use Uthrow to send a person up, you can full jump after them and (usually) people will air dodge or try to Dair you. you then wait for the air dodge or attack to complete and then hit them when they...

    Let's Work On Your Coordination: The WFT Video and Critique Thread

    I'm not amazing or anything but since I don't want you to go without advice: I would just generally work on your spacing / positioning. A lot of times you were way too close to DK when you really didn't need to be. In addition you also have a tendency to land near him, like in ~2:07. DK must...
