    Marth Tech-Chasing

    Thanks for explaining about down throw. LoZR has told me never to back throw, and that explains why. So it seems like down throw is the best option to tech chase from 0%. But does the 29 frame wait time make pure reaction tech chasing impossible at 0%? That just seems like a pretty big delay...

    Marth Tech-Chasing

    Back throw does induce knockback at zero, though, and I see that you can begin inducing knockback with forward throw at around 10%. Is it possible to reaction tech chase using back throw until 10%?

    Marth Tech-Chasing

    I see there are a couple threads on Marth tech chase. Just for clarification, does anyone know if Marth can tech chase like 20GX Falcon, i.e. theoretically-guaranteed zero to death reaction tech chases, even beating an immediate Fox shine? I wonder because part of the pitch 20GX seems to make...

    Hax's Discussion of the Falco Meta: Shooting Blanks

    In a conversation with The Moon at Shots Fired II, Hax opined that Falco's response to consistent powershielding should be firing blanks. I get the idea behind this tactic, but I have a follow-up question from their discussion: are there distances from which it's impossible to react to a Falco...

    Fox Chaingrab: Pivot Grab Percents on no DI

    Thanks to both of you for your replies. Do either of you have any insight as to why straight upthrow regrab stops working for me at different percents? To be more specific than I was in my original post, when I plug in an extra controller and practice on an idle "human" Fox, upthrow regrab...

    Fox Chaingrab: Pivot Grab Percents on no DI

    Apologies in advance if this is covered elsewhere. I've been practicing chaingrabbing Fox on FD on vanilla Melee. My Fox is just an idle "human," not a computer, so it shouldn't be DIing. I've seen different Marth chaingrab tutorials (Ippo's and SSBM Tutorials' to be specific) that give...

    The way of the Falco

    FE_Hector, I'm a very new player who dabbles in playing Marth and Falco, and I'm just a little confused by some of your response stating that Marth and Falco are fundamentally similar characters. I would just like some clarification on a few points for my own edification about the game. I hope...

    Choosing Your Grab: When Should (and shouldn't) You Wobble?

    Fly's Ice Climbers guide states that wobbling is "the best option you have out of a grab" if you can successfully execute the move, but I would appreciate more detail from experienced Ice Climbers mains on how best to use the many other grab options our character has. Specifically, I would like...
