    What Programming Language Do You Prefer?

    So it's not as bad as I thought. That's pretty reinsuring tbh; idk what enterprise is but I've always took in interest in networking/server stuff, good to see I can tie Java into that somehow.

    What Programming Language Do You Prefer?

    I see. That's a shame, I would love to participate in programming and programming-related discussions, but I have trouble understanding people when they almost never use Java. That, and I'm a noob haha. I would love to transition into some other language somehow. I suppose the easiest way to go...

    What Programming Language Do You Prefer?

    So does anybody else do Java? I'm a CS major sophomore and I feel like whenever people talk about coding on the internet I have absolutely no idea whats going on. Is Java low-tier or something?

    Discovering the Chozo Artifacts: A 3.5 Samus Video Discussion

    Uhh...it makes sense on paper, but please don't ever standing missile, especially during neutral game. If you don't believe me, try it out for yourself; you'll be surprised at how fast people will react to that animation. This however is super effective. 1.) Power shield back. Sounds...

    Discovering the Chozo Artifacts: A 3.5 Samus Video Discussion

    Never standing missile, always cancel it somehow. I've noticed that when you actually do missile cancel, you'll follow your missile and then shield when your close to Marth. Contrary to whatever your justification for that might be, that habit is useless. That would only really work against...

    [Feb 28, 2015] Easton Smash Presents: Shots Fired! A Melee/PM/Smash 4 National... (Easton, PA)

    Just thought I'd update you guys on some new info: There will be a $200 Pot Bonus for MELEE SINGLES AND PM DOUBLES Imagine the type of stuff you can buy with that kind of money.

    Lacking Motivation

    No problem man. It is important to note, however, that if a wario is on a platform above you (which most of the time, he will, if he wants to side b) there is a risk-reward dilemma to consider between nair and shielding. Your nair hitbox has to safely hit Wario's shoulder dash hitbox, which is...

    Lacking Motivation

    If you want to start placing, there are several things you need to implement in your mindset/playstyle that otherwise will leave you susceptible to losing to players that you'd think you can beat. 1. Confidence makes you choke less. Practice = confidence I think you understand this, but are...

    SWD issues

    Under ALL circumstances, you should play on a crt. It'll make your life a whole lot easier. Practicing swd in melee does help, but isn't necessary. I input the command when I see samus hit the ground, which is obviously different from melee, and I'd like to say my consistency is around 75%+

    Mission Briefing - The Samus Social

    OP in the sense that Samus can get back on the stage from pretty much anywhere.. Bomb jumping isn't even necessary half the time, simply pressing b down and moving forward will work. If you are on the upper half of the ledge while recovering, you can shoot missiles (preferably homing) to fend...

    Mission Briefing - The Samus Social

    Yeah, the second half of screw attack IS remarkably bad compared to the first... Samus's recovery is probably a little over powered now, and even after this nerf, who says thats all the changes samus will see? Recovery wise I don't think they'll buff anything but I'm hoping this nerf opens up a...

    Mission Briefing - The Samus Social

    I've never really had a problem with that... B-up is pretty safe, plus the punish potential is just about the same if you position your b-up to go up over the ledge. That's generally what you want to do anyways, since when you cancel the tether to b-up, you're aiming for your opponent, not the...

    Mission Briefing - The Samus Social

    Rising grapple? As in, the melee rising grapple that ends with your falling animation? If so, I'd only use it as an extreme mix up/ mindgame. You generally don't want to force yourself into a falling animation onto the ground, especially in PM, where grounded edgeguards are pretty much on par...

    Top Players & Videos by Character

    It seems to me that the problem lies behind the fact that OP organizes this list based on: Tournament standings Frequency of tournament attendance Specific win(s) against a certain player Biased(?) heresy Whether or not they have videos Perhaps a power ranking system is in order? The last 2...
