    Data Tracking the Ninja - Greninja Video Thread

    Any particular reason you don't go for off the top kills? You get a couple of up throws at the end there that looked like a proper up angled upB would've killed. Might miss, but in my experience it's pretty hard to punish. In fact in general I noticed you wait out the up throw rather than...

    What would you change about Greninja?

    Substitute to not be completely awful. More shield stun on fair Slightly better shurikens. Rather than forcing B to be his only approach tool, i'd rather see fair approaches be more viable if shielded. Nair can be the go to for standard pressure, with fair against block heavy...

    Greninja's True Combos

    First, haven't played since last year and am on 3ds What's up with the first hit of bair? It seems like at certain percentages if you hit with the first hit only it can stun your opponent long enough to get you a follow up, possibly a smash. Note that the situation I'm talking about is vs a...

    Why are Smash players so concerned with "advanced techniques?"

    Not saying it is a bad thing. More just generally demonstrating the point that just because X thing is interesting does not mean that it's interesting because it is difficult. Wasn't exactly directed at you. Sorry it wasn't clear.

    Why are Smash players so concerned with "advanced techniques?"

    And if that movement were easier to do (no L canceling, no fast fall required, easier wave dash/dancing/moonwalking) would you stop watching?

    Who actually wants customs at Evo?

    So if enough people who are attending evo don't want diddy there, will we ban him? How about Shiek? Zelda maybe for ****s and giggles?

    When do you think the Sm4sh backroom will be established, if at all?

    Every other competitive game i've ever played doesn't have a "backroom" and we still get accurate tier lists and matchup charts. Yeah they're usually from top players getting together and talking it out, but it's not in some secret clubhouse, and is usually quite public. The backroom is one of...

    How would Melee's techniques work in Smash 4's physics?

    Wave dashing would be good simply by increasing valid approach options, but mostly you could accomplish a ton by just changing the move data(landing lag, hit stun, shield stun, etc) across the cast to be more aggressive/impressive.

    How would be Smash Bros.' future without Sakurai (at least as Director) ?

    I'd be worried personally. Regardless of his questionable grasp of what makes competitive gameplay fun, it doesn't matter because basically everything he's done has been absurdly high quality. Every smash game, regardless of any higher level issues, is insanely well made and fun on a whole...

    The reason I hate when people say "play to win"

    1. Most people play to have fun. 2. The point of competitions is winning. 3. People playing in competitions often, but not always, have a lot or the most fun winning. If winning is not fun IT IS NOT THE PLAYERS FAULT. It is first and foremost a failure of the developer, and then maybe second...

    Competitive Principles: Mii

    The idea that anyone is seirously discussing banning the mii's is insane. There may need to be some special rules for them depending on the ultimate ruling for custom moves(which i still think should be on), but there's about a million easy ways to make them not cause any issues, except being 3...

    Competitive Play for the Mii

    You can very easily make default mii's, and again, I see no reason why this is even a discussion. Require default height/weight(dead center). Done. Yeah most of the competitive scene doesn't know **** about the mii's. There's more info out there now that some people are using them, but...

    Characters that are a pain to deal with and solutions?

    Really? I've destroyed even the rare "good mac" i've seen. What specifically is the issue? We almost auto kill him if we get him in the air or off the stage.

    Competitive Play for the Mii

    I seriously don't get how this is even an issue. Step 1: No "i brought my mii" mii's allowed. **** that at a large gathering. Step 2: TO loads 3 default mii's on the save. One sword, one gunner, one brawler. Default height default weight. Maybe give them obviously unique names. Step 3...

    Why is there such a heavy bias against zoners in Competitive Smash?

    This is a myth. Strong zoning still takes risks, and good rushdown can easily become more safe than some zoning(50/50's or worse vortex situations come to mind). The point of zoning is that the risk pay's off by keeping them out, and while that can be a slower pace, that's usually fine. Some...
