    So, why don't I ever see people doing this?

    It can be useful in situations where you need a little bit more speed than short dashing can provide. Does :4shulk:'s defense form move faster running than jumping? If so, it could always help there. I think it's still important to learn these little things though, because even if they come in...

    What's your favorite Megaman series

    Classic series. I mean... I like Battle Network, but not all of it. I think the game got rather silly after the first few... and then you start getting into doing the fusion dance with other characters, and it just seems to take away from the main game, instead of add to it. Reminds me of the...

    What basics should I work on with Megaman?

    I mean... you also have to think about things like conditioning your opponent to do what you want. That's half the point of keep away characters like Mega. You throw out neutral pellets to condition them to either try to roll past them or jump over them. The reason that so many people hate...

    Thoughts on playing for time out?

    I heavily dislike timeout matches. To me, it seems cowardly to run away when you have the advantage and only shows you're actually afraid of the other person. Plus imagine what you'd do if there was no timer. Relying on that is a crutch imo

    The "Proposed" Ruleset Stage Discussion: Vote Here

    It would be more like taking the vote away from the people entirely and asserting yourself as emperor until they come up with a nicely worded letter about how they don't appreciate it.

    So, why don't I ever see people doing this?

    Megaman's neutral, neutral air and f-tilt are all lemons, so yes. It's especially useful for him because he can move and jump while shooting them The smash works best when you need that little bit of extra spacing, or for punishing specific things. Like I said, if they already used both of...

    So, why don't I ever see people doing this?

    ^ It's not a pivot though. We've already covered this, if you pivot, you can't do this. They're different techniques even if they seem similar, mine takes far less skill to use lol Doing this, you actually hold the direction to go into a full run, so it's impossible to pivot Well, I did say...

    So, why don't I ever see people doing this?

    ^ Yes, exactly, and yet nobody knows about it or does it. Lots of people will do it with tilts, but nobody uses it with smashes, and it's absolutely essential for playing characters like Megaman and Olimar. Hell, I fought someone who could do it the other day, and his Olimar was downright scary...

    So, why don't I ever see people doing this?

    I'm not talking about any of those things though. I've looked all of those up and none of them describe what I'm talking about. It's not stutter stepping, kara smashing, foxtrotting, pivoting, or wave/dash dancing. All of those involve taking short dashes and cancelling the initial...

    So, why don't I ever see people doing this?

    Ummm... aren't pivots based on actually pivoting, which is where you tilt the stick forward and then backwards really fast so that you move back just a tad without actually going into the running animation? That's not what I'm talking about. Also no, you don't have to let go of the stick at...

    What holds back a mid-level player from being high-level?

    Abusing Foo strategies. Pretty much what they say right here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EitZRLt2G3w Think about all the people online that you see spamming short hop f-airs, or how many people will play Bayonetta and spam F-special.

    So, why don't I ever see people doing this?

    I've looked through every competitive guide for smash bros, and everywhere online, but nobody seems to know that this technique even exists. It's dead simple too. I discovered this technique about half a year ago, and nobody else seems to know about it. I've only seen one or two people doing it...
