    Inconsistent at battles - Sometimes brilliant, usually terrible

    It's never a set pattern. Sometimes I start rough against basic opponents, then I come back later and can stand toe to toe with bouncy, tourney-like opponents. Always in Quickplay though.

    Inconsistent at battles - Sometimes brilliant, usually terrible

    I'm not sure why but there are rare times when I can perform much better than normal. I can see right through opponents, can practically see their next move and can perform well as anyone. In a matter of a couple of hours later, I suddenly become much worse, and get 3-stock perfected by everyone...

    Do any taunts annoy you? Which ones?

    The reason they are annoying isn't necessarily because of the taunts themselves. There are dozens of YouTube videos of people who perform these taunts or teabag while basically telling someone they're a waste of a skin. People associate those taunts with someone out there telling them they are...

    An "only three/five mains" thread

    I'll roll with Robin, Cloud and Incineroar

    Cloud's negative reputation is putting me off trying him; help change my mind!

    There's no doubt that Cloud oversaturates the player base - even Sakurai himself recently proved that point - but there are so many people out there who call Cloud "braindead" or "no skill." I currently play as Robin and need back up for the matchups I struggle with. Now I'm not a Final...

    The View from the Bottom: Perspective of a Bad Smash Player

    You will never be worse than me. I've played for 3 years and I STILL can't beat the famous For Glory stereotypes. I'm too stupid to ever be respected at this game :(

    Ridley Matchup Discussion Week#2

    Bowser secondary here, just wanted to address an earlier discussion. There is very little Bowser can do to Ridley. All Bowser has going for him is the super armour on jab and a less laggy command grab. If we approach from the ground, our laggy titls and slow jump means we always get command...

    Incineroar Matchup Thread

    I want to go back to an earlier point. I can't see a single way Incineroar can win the Palutena matchup. Stage covering projectiles, shuts down our approaches, captures us in combos too easily. Unless the skill gap is huge, Incineroar loses 9/10 times.

    How do you read people without relying on luck?

    I'm inches from quitting after years of trying to get better at Smash all around, so I hope this works out. I cannot read people. Not even if all they do is dodge. There are simply too many options, and no clear patterns. Left? Right? Spot dodge? Jump? Attack? Shield? It's never the same thing...

    Q&A Smash Ultimate Q&A thread

    I only have a 15% win rate. Am I beyond help at ever becoming good at this series? I had an even worse win rate in Smash 4.

    I can't beat the Lv9 bots. Are they really as easy ss everyone says?

    I keep getting 3 stocked by the bots, it's like they're better than the players online. I'm worried that if I can't beat them, I don't stand a chance in the competitive scene.

    Tactical Advantage: A Robin positivity thread!

    It's a little change, but I love Levin N-Air. So many mind games and "get off me" options in just a single move. Though I must ask how people pressure defensive opponents as Robin?

    Previously I sold Smash 4 in shame of my horrible win rate. I bought Ultimate to start afresh but its going even worse!

    The majority of the time I play solo, with the odd online game with a friend. There are no local scenes, and even if there were my health keeps me from reaching them. Unfortunately that means online or busy xD My goal is to find a claim to fame from my position of poor health. I want to find...

    Previously I sold Smash 4 in shame of my horrible win rate. I bought Ultimate to start afresh but its going even worse!

    I can assure you I'm not trolling, to the point I'm happy to speak in voice-detail about it. I played Smash on and off since Melee, only truly noticing the competitive scene at the start of Smash 3DS. I had a bad experience to start with in Anther's Ladder, so I stuck with For Glory after...

    Previously I sold Smash 4 in shame of my horrible win rate. I bought Ultimate to start afresh but its going even worse!

    Honestly I wish there was something missing but I'm genuinely very dumb. To give a real life example, I still can't tie shoelaces. To give a Smash example someone can sit on the edge of a stage, teabagging, and I'll lose to rgem because I can't find a safe way to get them years later. I think...
