This guy: "Ike is banned in our house because he's too OP" Me: "You know you can shield, right? This guy: "Yeah but you can't shield in the air!" Also anytime people said 'I thought you couldn't play metaknight in tournament cause he was banned.' There was one 'tournament' in my freshman dorm...

Almost definitely coming. Any guestimates of player turnout?

Looking for some critique/another set of eyes on a few matches I had at a local a while back. Sorry about the obnoxious commentary (hence me wearing headphones while on stream). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWpA00QQ7Q4 1:19:56 is me in (I think) winner's semifinals, and then 2:14:30 is me in...

Just keep practicing doing them as fast and tight as possible. Use c-stick for aerials, make sure you're doing combos that are actual combos (like not trying to do dthrow-dair or something), and remember that your opponent can move their character while in hitstun, which sometimes lets them get...

Other logistical notes on the diddy mu: jab beats the first 1/3rd of monkeyflip. Assuming he throws out the attack form once he sees you're jabbing, the later 2/3rds of monkeyflip will trade with jab--obviously not a good trade unless he's recovering to the stage with monkeyflip. Also, throwing...

Oh also, our jab beats his jab all day. I would also stress jab-jab-grab more in this matchup than others, seeing as olimar players are more afraid of someone in their face than, say, zss or sonic players. Consequently, they're more likely to choose shield when panicked and up close, giving us a...

Having been an olimar main all of brawl's lifespan, I can offer some loose insight into Olimar's weaknesses. Obviously, he plays a lot differently in this game, but there are some things that carry over. First, and this may seem pretty obvious, try to approach him at a sort of 45-degree angle...

Yeah, I've heard multiple times that the 2nd hit has more knockback. That seems to be the case it a lot of 'check both sides' sort of dsmashes that don't hit on both sides simultaneously (like with Mk's dsmash in brawl, and I think marth's as well).

Ahh okay, that explains it a little more.

Also, if you don't know what DI is, that's a pretty key way to avoid follow-ups after grabs. But again, a lot of the times it's just a true combo.

Yeah this is pretty much it. If anyone is curious who falls below us, I made this post a while back. But honestly, I don't think this "AT" is worth investing a lot time into.

That's what mapping jump to the shoulder-button-you-dont-use-for-shield is for. Tap jump is kind of the plague, as far as I'm concerned. Definitely use cstick for falcon, as it allows you to make some of his aerials unpunishable, whereas they would be very punishable if you only use the...

I'm definitely curious about more findings along these same lines. I think it's interesting/weird that the max launcher speed seems to spike around 50%. I wonder if that's the case for other characters in the game too.

I understand the point about faking your opponent after a longer dash, but I don't think 'hard to do' = competitively unviable. If that were the case, IC's would have been competitively worthless in brawl since their chaingrabs were very hard to do. I, with primarily brawl background, don't have...
