    Snake Matchup Discussion

    That's actually a mindset that I really need to remember more. Switching in this game is so much faster than in Brawl that it is technically feasible to get Snake off the ledge with Ivysaur and edgeguard with Charizard. So in that case, I guess Charizard would be useful when Snake isn't able to...

    Snake Matchup Discussion

    Squirtle: Snake has a lot more options in the air than he did back in Brawl, so this matchup got a little trickier than it used to be. However, the idea is the same. You don't want him to set up all his gadgets and toys. Snake, if left to his own devices, will lay out explosives everywhere and...

    Pokémon Trainer Library - Video/Critique and Database - 1 new video! Keep 'em coming folks!

    I just figured out how to get videos off of my Switch, so I'm going to start recording some Elite Smash matches and posting them on YouTube. Here's one I was kinda salty about losing that stock as Charizard because I messed up my pivot jab, but I was pretty happy with most of it. Especially...

    Through the fire and flames he carries on! Charizard in Smash Switch

    Mewtwo is technically right though. Other genres of games (shooters, specifically) use techniques like client-side prediction to make guesses about what your enemy is doing before it hears the "truth" from the server. That's why you get people running into walls when there's lag. Fighters need...

    Innocent sexist jokes. Now that's a take I've never heard before lol

    Squirtle for Smash Switch/Squirtle Support Thread

    Ok so I'm actually really liking pivot canceling with Squirtle. Not so much for the mobility, but because f-tilt is less of a commitment than f-air or dash attack when approaching. I've been catching a lot of people by approaching with a pivot cancelled f-tilt and then a retreating n-air or...

    Squirtle for Smash Switch/Squirtle Support Thread

    You could use that to do a retreating f-tilt too if you think you'd be chased but I don't know how useful that would be really. It's basically pivot-cancelling, but it's more pronounced with Squirtle because of his animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf6zH0USmlY

    Squirtle for Smash Switch/Squirtle Support Thread

    I've been desperately looking for something similar but haven't come up with anything yet. If you have tilt c-stick set up, you could run forward -> shell-shift back -> f-tilt forward to do kind of a sliding forward tilt but it's no where near the distance you'd get from shell-shifting in Brawl.

    Thank you for calling it out. You can't make a comment like "women often just sit somewhere all day doing nothing." and then claim that our community doesn't have sexism problems lol

    Through the fire and flames he carries on! Charizard in Smash Switch

    I'm having some trouble with the new Charizard too, actually. But that's probably because the last time I played him was in Brawl, and so a lot has changed with his b-air and removal of Rock Smash. I don't have answers, just letting ya know I feel your pain lol.

    Counter Pokemon Trainer?

    I don't know if PT has a hard counter, though it's admittedly too early to tell. PT, by design, can counter pick you on the fly based on your play style. I think countering PT is more about having an adaptive play style than it is about having the right character

    The Second Pokémon on the Dex - Ivysaur's Magical Leap

    I actually feel like Bullet Seed was nerfed in this game. I don't remember the exact frame data, but I wouldn't be surprised if it used to come out on Frame 1 since it constantly got me out of chain grabs in Brawl. It's still a great punish though. That being said, Ivysaur is undoubtedly like...

    I remember when people said Pokemon Trainer was the worst character....

    Time to pick up Pokemon Trainer again. I do miss all the Squirtle hydro-shenanigans though. Withdrawal is pretty great though

    Wii Fit trainer needs a serious buff.

    I actually love her up-tilt. I used to think it had a lot of priority, but now I'm pretty sure I'm just ducking under people's attacks, and punishing them, all in one move.
