    How Does One Get Over Fear of Losing?

    Realize that nobody cares if you win or lose. That or do what I did, lose my first 10 tournament matches so I stopped caring.

    What is one low tier character...

    Sorry dude, but hey I'm not a side B spammer like I used to be. However I've closed out most of my bracket wins through side B so it's the perfect finishing touch. Or sometimes a complete gamble but hey it is what it is.

    What techniques should a new competitive player learn before they decide to enter tournaments??

    People put WAY too much emphasis on tech. I'm not afraid to admit that I hardly ever practice it. It's useful but I just don't see it as super important.

    What techniques should a new competitive player learn before they decide to enter tournaments??

    I agree with the above posters. Dash dancing is by far the most useful technique in Smash 4. Basically, if you don't dash dance, you will lose, plain and simple. Doing so will cause your opponent to misinput pretty much everything and you will be able to punish over and over again. It also works...

    Official 4BR Tier List V4 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    Greninja is extremely difficult to use and requires a very high skill ceiling. If you wanna see some good Greninja play see Salem running through the 12th tournament of Tipped Off where he rolled through Fatality & M2K with Greninja. Also watch Stroder 2-0 Nairo at West Side Saga this year...

    Who does Cloud lose to?

    Just wanted to leave it out there that even though you may not think he's that great, Pika is one of the only characters in the game (if not the only one) that wins both the Cloud AND Bayo MU. Pretty impressive.

    What character would you want to have added to any smash game.

    I'm still extremely salty that Banjo-Kazooie never made it as a Smash character. They were so close in Melee, and it was possible for the ones after had Microsoft released its choke hold on it. Their move set in their actual game would have translated perfectly to Smash.

    Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

    I'm not trying to be biased, I don't want Dark Pit Little Mac or Ike cut from the game but it's just my opinion. (However I've been getting convinced in this thread that Ike won't be cut so I'm changing my mind on that one) I stated above that the reason Falcon is and will be in every single...

    Sheik is popular and valued within Smash though, starting from the Melee days. I think people would legitimately be upset if she was removed, unlike Rosa. As for Falcon, the only reason he'll continue to be in every single release is because he's an original Smash character. None of the...

    Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

    I wanna see Cuphead somehow make it in the game as a guest character. I could see him being a clone of Mega Man with his attacks. If Ryu, Bayonetta and Cloud could make it in (along with Snake in Brawl) there's no reason why this can't be a possibility. Other characters I'd like to see added to...

    Smashboards Community Voted Tier List: Version 4 COMPLETE! Break for a few months...

    A few quick thoughts (opinions) about the new tier list: 1. I'm glad Luigi made his well-deserved jump on the list (which I've been saying for a while now should have happened) but I still think he should be higher. Top 10 IMO. 2. Can somebody explain to me how Mewtwo is so highly rated? His...

    Smash 3DS Lucario, Lucina, Robin

    Yeah, counterpicking just isn't a good strategy. Unless your main REALLY struggles in a certain matchup (e.g. you're a Ness main and you're playing Rosalina), you're better off just learning the MU than switching. Counterpicking seems good in theory but most top players prove that it's not the...

    Smash 3DS Lucario, Lucina, Robin

    Could we say that MKleo does it? I mean I don't think it's a good idea tbh. Just stick with one character and get really good with that character. Learn bad MU's. That way you'll feel confident and comfortable with that character where you won't even think about switching. I mess around with...

    I am honestly terrible at this game

    Glad to see you're improving. IMO improving comes from a willingness to learn. I watch a lot of smash VODs of professional matches and I try to learn what they do and the terminology of the commentators. If I see they're doing something that I never do, or avoiding stuff like rolling that I do...
