yeah, I'm pretty sure puff can float in upair range under a plat until she runs out of jumps which is like a solid couple of seconds, no one has the patience to wait that out. It's even easier for her than Roy/Chrom who are on the ground/in jumpsquat for a period where they either can't attack...

It sounds like a nice idea but I think it'd actually give up a bit of advantage. If you play the character for a while you'll get a good feel for how long 15 seconds is since you tend to get a limit break 3-6 times in a game, but your opponent isn't going to be nearly as used to the timer. If...

Kind of surprisingly it is possible, but the timing is tighter. I don't know why it works since if you do the RAR inputs except the jump you won't slide and will complete the initial dash, it's not like you're jumping out of your slide animation like when you do a RAR from running state and you...

I swear to god since Leffen started putting out videos talking up YL I've seen a severe increase in online YL/TL missile camping. Like people see some sick combo with shorthop arrows and bombs and stuff and go to do it online but shorthop arrows are too hard to aim and bombs can blow up on them...

It's unclear if the patch notes are imperfectly translated, or Nintendo just has some internal vocabulary not shared with the rest of the community, or if they're just lying, but some of the notes don't seem 100% accurate. I'm really glad they released them this time and they're pretty good, but...

What inputs are you using? If you c-stick too soon you might attack cancel to get the reverse nair. Jab to RAR bair connects on the training dummy for me but I don't think it's nearly quick enough to be a true combo.

Folks probably already know this, but I recently realized when you go for downthrow -> upair at low percents if you immediately grey stick up and hold X+A you'll buffer a short hop up air which is true and requires zero timing. Once you start needing to full hop you need to input the upair and...

If you hit at max range I don't think there are any guaranteed followups. I always dash in after them and try to react and/or read. Dash up d-tilt can cover a missed tech, another jab or f-tilt can hit tech in place, ftilt can catch a jump sometimes, and dash attack or sliding ftilt if they tech...

Mewtwo's grounded options are good against short characters so the matchup with inkling and pichu isn't nearly as annoying if you stay on the ground in neutral. With inkling I've had some good success with going off stage to edge guard, you can drop real low and still make it back and despite...

The number 1 thing IMO is not to let the blade beam put you on tilt. It does relatively little damage, it's just obnoxious to play around. I get a lot more damage off of people trying to force approaches because they're tired of getting missile spammed than I do off of blade beam actually...

Yeah, the height of the hitbox is really a lot bigger than it looks like it should be, I've caught people either on platforms or just starting to drop through them with it before, really without meaning to, and being surprised that it hit. I don't use it as an anti-air but I feel like I should...

I haven't tested it but my thought was tilting it in towards Cloud. You never end up standing too close to cloud to not get hit, but you can fall out after the start if you're high or far away, so there's always a hitbox up close. To prevent the stab you need your shield to be somewhere you know...

I haven't seen this very often (but I usually don't end up in cross-slash-on-shield situations) but I don't think the shield damage is that high. Can't you just angle your shield forward if you're getting poked in that situation?

Right, which I mentioned in the post you quoted. Big hurtboxes are bad so being heavy balances that out, but it's not the only thing that can make up for having big hurtboxes, for example a very safe recovery helps you live longer even if the weight works against you. Although I'll admit, I'm...

The website directs to amazon which says it's out of stock and no notice for when it'll be back. Is anyone still selling them? Can I make a new one by copying someone else's card using the gamecbe's memory utility?
