Smash 4 has a lot of counterpick relevance so maybe learn another character for matchups that your Falcon struggles with. Otherwise Falcon is still great in this game. Mr. R got to Grand Finals at that $500 online tournament the other day. Keep practising him. Show them your moves.

Nobody can just win an advanced tournament without tons of practise. Players like Mew2king have put 10,000+ plus hours into Melee and the current top Smash 4 players have already put hundreds if not thousands of hours into the game already. It's all about experience; losing in tournaments is...

This. Ness kills so redculously early.

Of course playing in FG can improve your play. Just don't develop bad habits against bad players and strive to get beaten by better players so you can figure out why you're losing. It might not prepare you for tournament level play, but it will at least push you in the right direction; adapting...

Nice, gonna work this into my Diddy ground game. Should be useful when holding a banana.

I generally never need to use Rocket Barrel to recover. Monkey Flip combined with wall cling covers more than enough distance and is a lot safer anyway.

Signed up, looking forward to it.

Is that supposed to be impressive? Uair can kill from 90-120 depending on weight :P

I've seen people arguing that one of Rosaluma's few flaws is that she's one of the lightest characters in the game. But having fought some really good Rosalina players online, it seems that while her light weight allows characters to get early KO's on her (Puff's Rest at 50% comes to mind), it...

Rosaluma is a huge problem for Diddy. I was playing against a solid Rosalina player the other day and lost about 15 games to 5. The only way I could take stocks off her was to use short hop aerials (mainly Fair) to hit the top of her really tall hitbox. Bananas are totally useless, if left on...

Greninja's low stance makes him hard to fight as shorthopping doesn't work, basically need to rely on grabs and generally playing on the defensive. A good Rosaluma is just rediculous, hate fighting her so much. The only way I can take games off one is too switch to Jiggs and try for the 50% Rest...

I don't think Global Smash Power has anything to do with online matchmaking. I'm sure Sakurai said that there is a matchmaking system, but it's not viewable by the player. However I'm starting to think this matchmaking system is only going to be in the Wii U version, because it seems completely...

90% of the games I play on For Glory are against complete noobs, but sometimes I do find another great player. From there I look them up online (if they have a tag as their profile name) and PM them my FC to play friendlies. I now have a friendlist full of strong players that I practise with on...

Qualified for the National Championship at the end of October 2014.

I've been playing Diddy a lot since release and won a local tournament with him the other day. I like the way you use aerial attacks to pick up nanas while attacking at the same time, but often you don't space Fair well enough and get punished with a grab. You use up throw and forward throw a...
