I have quite a bit of experience in this MU from playing Soulimar in bracket (Norcal Olimar that's been on PR the past 3 seasons). Unfortunately I've only beaten him on stream once and it was a few months ago, but hopefully it shows some of what I'm about to talk about...

A really good Duck Hunt player goes to my local weekly (Kocinan is his tag, he's a twitch streamer as well). I haven't fought him in bracket but we've done a ton of matches in casuals. He wins more games than I do, but it's one of those things where I can tell it's because he's outplaying me...

I'd rather make myself look like a fool and spark a discussion rather than say nothing and let this thread be inert, so here I go: I don't follow the reasoning for Duck Hunt being a disadvantageous matchup. Both characters lack kill setups or kill throws on each other, making the matchup a...

Also, it's much easier to go for dair spikes if you use Trampoline Launch, since the vertical height it gives your recovery is about equal to the height that key forces you to fall before you can do anything.

As a G&W, I want to say I have an easier time with this matchup with customs on, because the faster Chef custom is less punishible and actually works as a ground zoning tool. It's not so much that Ganon doesn't have ways around the bacon, just that it provides G&W a way to annoy Ganon without...

Agreeing that this is also something that I've been struggling to figure out. More often than not I feel like I can win only when my opponent gets impatient and tries to swat at me because G&W is really solid at punishing whiffed swats. If an opponent just holds their ground patiently and plays...

Yeah I just noticed today that for some odd reason using bucket stops your upward vertical movement but actually makes you move faster horizontally. Unfortunately it takes too long to put away to be a viable movement option but who knows when a gimmicky movement trajectory will pay off.

Has anyone figured out what's up with usmash? It doesn't have super armor, but multiple times now an opponent has attacked me right when I released it, and somehow their attack gets clashed out but the usmash continues and hits them instead. I don't know when in the animation this window...

A friend and I have started to record matches in Minus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvheMaM4YeA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQbSCbM7CT8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNQqMbBWKhQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXhNsTS5E6A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zJ_mihnW-U The first two...

Yeah, I keep forgetting to check this thread often enough. If/when there's another one I'll see if I can make it since the DSF one was a lot of fun. In somewhat related news, a friend and I are working on getting a competitive gaming club started at Cal Poly, so if everything works out we...

I decided I want to try to get involved in offline competitive smash, and I'd like to attend the biweeklies but my problem is that I'm in Cal Poly and I don't have a car. If somebody else in SLO is going and is willing to give me a ride I'll definitely go for Brawl Singles and Doubles. If this...

Hey, will anybody staying at the Ramada Inn have room in their car when they go to and from the venue? If so, could I possibly get a ride to go along during the three days there? If so please let me know.

On the subject of using up-Bing as a way to hit somebody on the ground, it seems to work a lot on Snake for me, partly because Snake is so tall that he tends to just get in the way of the up-b more than anything else. It makes using up-b to get out of a ftilt a possible counter if he doesn't...

That's odd. Try refreshing, I can see it just fine. Anyway, from the general feedback I've been getting I see a lot of people like the name of the video, and that I might have gone a bit overboard with the edge guarding clips. If I ever make a sequel I'll be sure to try to focus some more on...
