Thought I would post a recent result I got earlier tonight. Irish Major here called Schism, I entered a doubles tournament with a Mac/Bayo main. We managed to come 2nd out of 15 teams. Fought a fair few neat teams, Pit and Rosa, Luigi and Mewtwo, Rob and Cloud, Rob and Shulk, Zelda and...

Having played a fair bit on For Fun Team Battles and getting Giga Bowser a fair few times, I actually think he is alright. I do agree that while a lot of his attacks are a bit on the weaker side, so long as you use his stronger attacks it still gets the job done. Like his Up smash still hits...

Been a while since I posted but I have been meaning to post on a Smash event here in Ireland called Celtic Throwdown I attended two weeks ago. I ended up entering a charity doubles tournament and a competitive doubles tournament on top of some great friendlies throughout the weekend. For both...

Today I came 1st in a doubles tournament at our local. I went full Bowser and my partner was Little Mac and our team name was Boozer and Bruiser. Was fun to finally get a chance to play in a team tourney after ages. EDIT: Had another doubles tournament today and this time went in with a Pikachu...

Just a few quick question regarding fighting Pikachu and Diddy and one about getting back on the edge. What is the best way to DI/SDI out of Pikachu's u-air, n-air and f-air chains? Similarly, what is the best way to break out of Diddy's f-air and b-air air strings and to get back on-stage once...

Recently fought a very strong Sheik and while its clear the nerfs have hurt her, I still am having trouble fighting her in a number of situations. I'll make it easier by breaking it down into bullet points what I am having trouble with. - Short hop n-air and f-air spacing is still a problem...

@Big Sean and @UltimaLuminaire Normally I would be aware when it is right to dash, walk, and short hop but in this particular set, the constant trades and close games were making me unsure what option to take which would be completely safe, so things got a bit shaky. Cheers for the links too...

Thanks Sean. Pivot grabs is something I never really have managed to integrate into my muscle memory yet but I guess now would be a good time to hit the training for it. Over aggression became a major issue in the latter half of the set, as we traded more I became less confident about my...

I think if given Dash slash Bowser would remain in mid tier. Dash Slash is nice but I much prefer side-b as a kill move and just in general as a damage dealer if necessary. While dash slash is nice with the extra movement, I think Koopa Klaw is just too valuable to Bowser's kit as it makes the...

Had a long set against a Ganondorf today. Started out in my favour then we traded and then he started taking more games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBL9AGtg1uw This was one of the middle games and would welcome any feedback for my neutral game. Towards the end I started getting far too...

I just bumped into a really good Duck Hunt on FG and was pretty much at a loss what to do. Essentially he would bombard me with a crazy amount of projectiles while also covering his wall with air attacks to hold his position which made even attrition a pretty poor option. I had serious issues...

Thanks Cronoc. He didn't stick around for too long but he was certainly a cut above what I had faced before in regards to Pacman. Next time I meet another sharp one, I'll see what I can do with Pacman's tools. Cheers for the advice.

I just encountered a rather vicious Pacman on FG a moment ago and for the life of me could not do anything about his use of the trampoline in the neutral. Essentially he would use his hydrant as normal but would then use his trampoline point blank to launch me and to get himself in the corner of...

Sonic is a very challenging MU where the majority of our options are very unsafe. In summary, almost everything you could do as mixups or spacing in the neutral against other characters are unsafe. Short hop f-airs, dashing back and forth, tilting, dash attacks, side-b, dash grabs, pivot grabs...

@constable lemon and @33percentgod Robin can be a bit of a challenging matchup and the projectiles seem nightmarish but it is quite manageable with the correct approach methods. The first and most important thing you need to utilize here is to tilt your shield forward. This is done by...
