I'm thinking it's at Nintendo's headquarters, personally. It does seem that a lot of people working there in the public eye age really slowly.

There are no 'servers' for Smash other than matchmaking, as it uses Peer2Peer for the actual fights. Once Nintendo's network finds you an opponent, it is just you and them directly. (Which is why the opponent's internet is taken into account, as your lag and their lag will kind of 'compound')...

Is it worth the money? Yes. Is it necessary? That will depend on a number of factors like speed of internet access, the quality of your router, and the amount of wireless congestion where you live. I get good speeds but my router is a little old and my apartment has a lot of congestion, and the...

I'm happy, as it will give us another chance to have characters that need a helping hand some extra TLC. I figured there would at least be one more, since most of the new characters wouldn't be fully tweaked yet. I hope for a few more, spaced apart a bit, to help with the long term meta after...

I'm surprised they changed my profile pic, considering it was Ike.

@Maik93 I was wondering if I should mix in more shield grabs into my game, but it looks like it is one thing I don't really need to worry about unless I want mix-up options now. Which is good, as I need all the help I can get when it comes to training. One less thing to have to keep in mind...

Fox-trotting and Dash Dancing are supposed to be tools to give you more options in a match but not the only options. If you do them all the time, then you aren't being unpredictable. Showboating may please a crowd, but against a serious opponent they'll just use it against you. (Not saying you...

Yikes! Never really been good at ledge trumping personally, but it does give me one more reason to avoid fighting on a walled stage.

If offline opponents aren't available, then use Anther's Ladder and other smashboard players to help get more MU experience. Offline is best, but if it is between no practice and Online then these are 2 places to go to make sure you are getting serious competition that not only has good...

For Ike, :4sheik::4diddy::rosalina::4zss:and :4pikachu: are supposed to be hard. And while they are for me, my personal problems are with speedsters like :4sonic:and :4falcon:, or those with a phenominal aerial combo game like :4ness:,:4pit:,:4peach:. I seem to struggle to land a KO against...

I'll have to practice more against directly attacking the shots with Aerials, as I only had success beating out the uncharged shots and not the charged ones. Could be my timing is off there due to the speed difference, though I'm not sure it's as easy to full hop to Fair over the charged shots...

With all the changes to Ike and to the game in general, I'd like to take some time and clean up the info I have on the lookup info in the first post. I fear that it is currently out of date with the original assessments and recommended match up advice, and with my long hiatus don't feel...

Yeah, the range of Corrin's smash for edge guarding seems pretty good. I've tried to use rolls, jumps and standard getup to shield. All 3 have been punished by the range and speed of his Fsmash so far. Aether really can't be used to get him to respect our getup like others, so currently I'm at a...

I hadn't even considered counterpicks and such, which also isn't possible to work into Smash right now in a LAN/Online setting without more red tape. Maybe in the future, but now this is a moot point. :-(

Very interesting thing to think about, though it unfortunately doesn't apply to Smash in its current state. We have no way to play Smash legally in a tournament in a LAN setting, so side-by-side is the only way to play right now without a convoluted setup with 2 screens and a video splitter. If...
