    Data Falco Patch History

    Yea I think that stage actually creates the illusion of more speed. I was messing around on it when I thought I noticed it too. When I took him to something familiar, he seemed more or less the same. Shame, it is kinda the best possible buff he could get.

    Data Falco Patch History

    admittedly I haven't been playing Falco much lately but I think he runs faster now. I will have to compare to my 3DS later.

    Frame Traps

    using the traditional fighting game definition of frame trap doesn't exactly work in smash since blockstrings don't really work the same way. The more general definition of frame trapping is forcing your opponent into situations where they must choose a particular option to escape the trap. In...

    Meta Knight: Video Compilation & Critique Thread

    real quick question about something I saw in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DLPGHJJIYA#t=6m15s (in case the time link doesn't work, skip to 6:15) Why wasn't pikachu gaining invincibility during this when he grabbed the ledge twice? Was unknown hitting that one frame timing or...

    That 2nd combo on Falcon. I want to be just like Ito when I grow up.

    Still viable?

    As much as people want to trash on MK and say hes bad from a FUNDAMENTAL standpoint MK can't really be bad. He is fast, has multiple jumps and a good roll. That is already a recipe for a strong character.

    Does anyone actually like Falco as a character/inclusion?

    I actually think Fox is much more unlikable as a character. Fox basically has no personality traits in any Starfox game. Even in Starfox Adventures when he is the MAIN CHARACTER he has very little to him. Falco, on the other hand, demonstrates character within the first sentence he speaks in any...

    How do you play Meta Knight? Not asking for tips, but your general style and move applications.

    Aggressively. I basically never stop rushing in either with dash attack, dash grab or run in tornado. I like to put defensive burden on my opponent. If a player is being overly defensive I will sometimes run at them and roll back a few times in a row just to see what their reaction is or if...

    Enough Is Enough. Coaching Needs To Stop.

    Melee top 8 and Smash 4 top 8 were almost identical in length. In fact, Melee was longer even without as much coaching going on. https://twitter.com/Smashboards/status/562186023975661568 Proof: http://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp/b/619084191 Smash 4 T8 is ~9:15 to ~12:35 (3hr20m) & Melee T8 is...

    Meta Knight: Video Compilation & Critique Thread

    Something to note in this matchup: Your opponent spot dodges a lot when you rush in. He is obviously pretty conditioned to not get grabbed since its MKs main schtick. Run in tornado is an EXCELLENT way to recondition your opponent to not spot dodge your approaches or at the worst, make it a...

    Meta Knight's D-Cape as a dodge tool.

    Thanks for the research! MK is the one character that I never worry about where or how I will recover/land. He rivals sheik in terms of movement options the major difference being that he cant combine his major horizontal options with his vertical ones like sheik can with bouncing fish + vanish.

    I need help with Falco

    I need help with Falco

    Falco probably has the best overall bair in the game right now. It is a solid kill move starting at around 120 when you sweet spot it. 100 if you are near the edge and like 80 if you are over the edge. By the way @BltzZ when you do d throw to fair it is almost always possible to do d throw to...

    Meta Knight's D-Cape as a dodge tool.

    If anything, he is tangible BEFORE he reappears. I have been hit numerous times by lasting hitboxes before MK is even done reappearing yet. It is quite frustrating.
