    Wrist/Hand Problems Help

    I ALWAYS do hand warm ups before I practice and play. Hand stretches after games do a really good job at prevent conditions such as Carpel Tunnel syndrome. Warm up your hands and never play with cold hands, in fact, warm up your hands before stretching in order to prevent injury. You can use...

    Banned Stages

    20xx is a modpack which isn't allowed in most tournament scenes. If it were legal then TOs would have to spend valuable time and resources to verify the legality of each modded game. 20xx Yoshi's, Dreamland, and FoD are really good stages, but TOs will not risk letting in hacked copies of melee...

    Banned Stages

    Most stages are banned because they have weird transformations/gimmicks that interrupt the flow of the game. Like sure Dreamland has that wind-blowing, but its very rare that Whispy does anything to cause an upset. Pokemon Stadium has dramatic transformations, but they are given warning so the...

    Who is your main and why did you pick them?

    I mained Sheik because I thought it was would be an easy transition from Sm4sh, where at the time I mained Sheik. Turns out the two are very different with Melee Sheik being super fun. Sm4sh Sheik is fun too, but nothing makes me happier than grinding tech skill as Sheik. I tried maining Ice...

    How to catch diddy's banana a certain way

    There are many ways to grab a banana, the majority of them involve backflipping into a z-catch then fast falling, however you can use Popgun Cancelling, b-reverse, and monkey flipping to mix it up. The one I mostly use is done throught he following steps: Step 1: Pluck a banana. Make sure you...

    Who Counters Diddy Kong?

    In my opeenyon, Diddy has trouble with Olimar (cause the fricking pikimin literally lift his bananas and olimar can really camp Diddy) and Megaman (cuz pellets). He sorta goes even with Mario. Ally says Mario loses to Diddy when Diddy has no banana in hand, which i can sorta agree with. Mario...

    Hey can someone take me under their wing and teach me how to play? Im REALLY bad :c

    tbh, Smash is mostly about teaching yourself through hard work and self-discipline. Like most other fighting games, you are most of the time going to be a lone Wolf

    Hey can someone take me under their wing and teach me how to play? Im REALLY bad :c

    Welp I can't take you under my wing, but I can help you by giving a few simple tips. I don't much about ZSS, but the following info will be pretty much in general. Step 1: Learn and practice your main. This can be done very easily. Since I just googled "ZSS guides" and most of the items were...

    Cloud Matchup...

    You are going to want to grounded against Cloud all the time. I see the Cloud MU as a test of effective range, a concept I learned from Melee which basically the max distance your opponent can travel before you react. In other words, several feet close to Sonic. Cloud has a really good spacing...

    Q&A Diddy's Q&A + Competitive Development - ASK QUESTIONS HERE

    Ummmmm I also thought it was because of Fox's vortex and Diddy's lack of landing options. However, Diddy has by far the best neutral. I doubt Fox's reflector is any trouble to him. And even without banana, Diddy still has has Dtilt and his Fair to stuff approaches, and along with that, Diddy is...

    Leveling up Tournament Sheik, what should I practice first?

    A movement drill I use is go to training mode, lvl 9 cpu, any character, and choose the most bizarre stage ever (I use scrolling stages), set the CPU to Run. Now chase after the CPU. Very simple, but very effective at getting used to running around, dodging obstacles, and using your...

    Need help, cannot win a single game

    LMAO, dude we must be brudders, because I have been playing this game for 5 months. You are asking the same questions I ask myself everyday, why does my neutral suck so goddamn much. In order to play melee one must understand how to play competitive games. Period. Here i present to you *Play to...

    Just got melee yesterday, help.

    SSBMTutorials, my dude. TONS of information on most characters and techskill. Once you have decided on a main, STICK TO THIS MAIN. It better be a fun main though, if not then melee will become boring. Then go to SSBMTutorials, on YouTube, and watch all the videos on your main. If you can't...
