Would this be likely to cause desyncs with those not running this code? Sounds like those 1 frame input differences can really add up. Edit: this almost certainly causes immediate and obvious desyncs on Slippi

Awesome guide, thanks, I learned a lot, especially from the double jump ledge snap tech. I have a question regarding potential application though, considering most of these techs utilize PKT2, not vanilla PKT, how will PKT2 focused techs be applicable in a tournament setting, where custom moves...

aaand time to move on.

Sorry for intruding, but what's a glide toss? Pit can grab while side B gliding?

The top 4 melee tiers, that is, Falco, Fox, Marth, and Sheik are possibly the most balanced characters right now, especially since the game is balanced around matching their high viability in the melee environment with other characters. It's hard to grant the crown of most balanced to the brawl...

I keep hearing the term "gimmick" being thrown around in terms of GnW's tactics and moves. I don't know if it's just me, but I tend to define a gimmicky techniques as moves that are easily exploitable, but have glaring weaknesses. On the contrary, I actually believe GnW's moveset and combo tree...

But uh, the idea behind PM is that every character is top tier. Am I to understand your stipulation that because Pit is top tier, he can't have poor matchups?

Wobbles claims that GnW is a very good character: "I'm working on convincing people that Game and Watch is actually an amazing character." -Wobbles I'd err on the side of caution when dismissing GnW so readily as being bad. I've logged quite some unbiased hours both playing with and against...

Yea, the bacon approach seemed pretty silly at first, but then it slowly got on my nerves, and as the GnW I was playing slowly started stopping almost every approach I could throw at him, I had to just swallow a bitter pill and admit that the bacon wall was, in essence, a ridiculously good move...

On another note, any match up advice for Game & Watch? Here are some observations I've made from many hours of playing against one. His Dair is basically uncontestable, you can shield it but it pokes like a mofo, especially the shockwave part. Also, the shockwave propagates after G&W touches...

No problem, anytime. Being well versed in the Falco vs Marth matchup from my years in melee really paved the way in terms of understanding how to approach and especially kill Marth. His up B recovery has always been tricky to stop, but once you get used to understanding how to exploit its...

One thing that I've done in my matches that has proven to be very reliable as well as deadly against Marths is this: side B instant ledge grab -> ledge hop as quickly as possible to retain invincibility frames -> invincible rising Bair onto stage. A Marth performing up B will inevitably be hit...

From my experience, shield grabbing is anti-pit technology. Mango just didn't grab at all against Armada for some reason, he always tried for something more fancy like shine out of shield or Dairs out of shield when he could have just skipped to the part where Armada dies by grabbing. Although...

After playing around with it, I realized it also auto cancels, right? It's not an A aerial meaning it doesn't have an L cancel, but it cancels itself, as if it were L canceled at all times.

Title almost says it all. With more granularity though: Does Bowser have different types of super armor, ie. his crouch armor vs blinking-red armor when he attacks? Does he have other types of armor besides these two? What are the differences? Are they knockback resistance only or do they also...
