Ridley was in another Grand Finals this past week. Think it's time to put the "Ridley deserves better" talk to rest. His placements speak for themselves so far.

Really, really strongly disagree with people who say Ridley's neutral B is bad. lol. Super solid for neutral stage with distance, for ledge guarding/gimping. Free damage. You can't throw it out ALL the time like you can with some other character's projectiles, but it's definitely not "bad"...

Power Missile into a fully charged shot feels hilariously good most of the time. Most players can either only jump over both, which is safe for you/you don't get punished, or they throw up a shield. If they shield it, that combination literally just breaks full shields. Often you just fully...

Eh. I think a lot of the people that claim "samus is dead" are players who never truly put a ton of time into the character in any previous iteration anyway. She's always been a character who requires no less than "very good" players to pilot her effectively. If you're even remotely ok at...

Gimpy! Nice, haha.

He’s good. Have used pretty much only him to unlock “elite smash”, which, lol, probably a useless game type, but 1 million + GSP - point I’m making is i’ve gotten in over 200 matches with him. Like any big character, big hit boxes/multi hit attacks are a pain in the ***, but when you factor...

Jason (M2k) did a video about this a day ago on his MVG YouTube channel, went pretty in depth with it. Would link to it if I wasn’t at work/on my phone, but essentially - don’t use the 45 degree directions. Like mentioned above, straight up, down, forward, and back are the only angles to that...

But jesus is Brawl's online an effing joke. Don't see how we can assume the next one will be any better. Mind you, this is with Brawl playing at a snail's pace...what if they actually make Smash Bros Wii U, you know, fast with a cool physics engine that allows for some of the craziness of...

There aren't any combos outside of a few 2 or 3 hit "combos", and with proper DI, even at low percentages, you can escape from quite a few of them. Honestly, Brawl's engine is drastically different than Melee's. It isn't meant to allow players to string together tons of hits while an opponent...

Praxis brought this up a while ago and I don't see any immediate solution to the problem :/. Someone mentioned tethering controllers to each console, and having tournament participants handing over their driver's license upon entering a venue. As lame as that sounds, that may be the only...

*double post*

This would go a long way into bringing back some players that have left the scene, imo. I have a hard time believing Nintendo is on board with competitive play support until I hear it from them, though. Maybe the whole EVO incident made them change their minds. I sure hope so.

Just do the whole "go into multiplayer mode and jump off the ledge repeatedly" thing until I unlock every character. Then really dig in and find one that feels good.

For me, it has to be Praxis' "Hero" montage from a few years back. Loved it. lol

I made a pretty useful thread (at the time? still useful? lolll....) all about falcon dive closer to when the game had just came out. Here's the thread: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=166701 Basically I'm ancient.
