@AlphaZealot That is very interesting insight and my point of view has changed in many respects. I am curious what "search" traffic encompasses. My hunch is that many people are told to find important information about their game by searching smashboards. If the format of the site changed in...

Step 1, remove named threads and only reference by ID. Eg /threads/melee-social-thread-and-stuff.284387/ becomes /threads/284387/ Step 2, move away from using threads at all. Of course threads would still be part of the backend technically: each first reply to a post would spawn a new thread...

The main problem with smashboards is the layout. Classic forums are too far behind the times. Twitter, facebook, reddit and basically everyone else uses a tree model with each message being able to have parents and children. They also provide you with a "feed" of stuff you like based on things...

I recommend going to a few locals first. Depending on where you live, the local tourneys will usually get between 10-40 people. You will meet people very close to you who will give you basic starting advice after playing you. This is the best place to start. When you go to larger tournaments...

FD isnt as awful as people think. Marth gets chaingrabs everywhere, yes, but marth no longer has platforms to escape from Fox's combos. You can uthrow uair him and then shark him, force him to double jump, then hit him off without his jump to take his stock. The main reason I would strike to FD...

Personal preference. Besides the platforms, the two stages are almost identical. Another strat is allowing Marth to choose FD for game 1. Win or lose, his best stage is gone, and you still have an extra ban available. I use the first game to feel out the opponent and understand their strengths...

Ask in your local scene. Support local, buy local. :011:

Its a 60 frame tech cooldown. After pressing L/R, you cannot press L/R again to tech for 60 frames. If they press L/R to tech 19 frames before they hit the ground (ideal), then are in the tech animation for 20 frames before they are vulnerable, there are still 20 frames after that where they...

If they amsah tech at KO percents, you can react and fair the 2nd tech before their roll animation ends. They cannot tech a third time due to how teching windows works. Actually, they probably cant even amsah tech at all if you hit them out of their tech in place. For floatier characters, I...

Why not just fair/uair him from below the platform? You should be able to do this on reaction. Also, if fox is getting to the platform from your dthrow, he is at least 150%. Just hit him with a KO move. Now FoD platforms are a little more common for fox to land on after dthrow. But I still...

I think at the higher levels fox wins. Falco is just so much slower, and a small amount of additional range doesn't make up for that. Fox can shine OoS faster than any of falco's options after shining his shield (besides falco doing another shine, which can't happen indefinitely). Fox can run...

Correction, DK can 0 to death sheik from one grab. I've played DFU in that matchup a lot, and he swears its easier to combo sheik than fox. From playing both characters vs him, I have to agree.

Considering it :)

I like seeing discussion, but this thread is 2 years old.
