To someone who's proficient in regards to the basic technical aspects of Melee like wave dashing and L-cancelling, I'd say the biggest thing to work on is the various types of missile techs, as well as grapple recoveries. Platform movement by means of wave landing is also something you should be...

Yes, it looks freaking sick. Favorite, not melee Gamecube game?

Does this game have any chance at being competitive? I've recently been fooling around with my roommate and after unlocking all the characters we decided we'd try to formulate a competitive ruleset of some sort. Red Background/Mega Digimon are Banned Stock Battle with 5 stocks Legal Stages...

Beedrill, Sudowoodo, Breloom, Lickylicky, Simipour, Chesnaught, and Decidueye Favorite old school sitcom?

I love the work you've done so far! Would you be able to create a layout for a house of 5 guys who play smash and various other games? 1920x1080 4x3 aspect ratio with a webcam and chat as well if you can fit it in :) It would be cool if you could incorporate red marth, green peach, orange...

Yes, I'd agree that this is the best solution for success. But it is interesting to theory craft. This is what I've considered as well. After playing Fox for quite some time and learning the fundamentals and more, I feel that it's simple enough to keep him in the pocket for choice matchups...

Excellent summary of those two characters and how they relate to Samus' bad MU's, I've definitely tried to play Sheik for match-ups like Marth in particular, but since I personally prefer a more technical game, I've always inched toward fastfallers for particular floaty and negative high tier...

If you short-hop turnaround laser you should be able to out-space him, but it's pretty dependent on the size of the stage. If he's constantly approaching with dashing/dash-grab you should consider a counter approach from the air whether that be a down air or an approaching back air since he...

IMO, most of the stages you listed would be more beneficial for higher tier floaties like Peach, with the exception being Peach's Castle. Yoshi's 64 is far too large to be considered and the clouds allow high air mobility characters to camp way too effectively. The case is similar for Kongo...

Yeah, I think that Marth is a pretty difficult match-up for Samus in that he has the tools to force bad options easily. Ness is definitely a cool secondary character, but I'd assume you do better with him due to inexperience in the match-up since Ness is a less common character. I think a...

The way I personally maintain composure in game is to always take things at face value and think critically. For example if I get shine spiked at zero I'd think, okay, how do I setup for a big enough combo to make a comeback and how do I force the neutral in my favour after taking that stock. I...

IMO the best way to summarize getting over the initial learning curve of the game is to think critically about every state of gameplay. From when you spawn in you need to formulate a game plan to win neutral, once you succeed you need to figure out how to take the stock, whether from a hard...

Whether or not NTSC 1.0/1.1 is used is up to player/TO's discretion and NTSC 1.02 is definitely more common. I'm unfamiliar with what official rulesets say about version selection though, and you should still be able to tech away from a followup. Interesting point to add nonetheless.

IMHO, the "jankness" of pokemon stadium is overstated quite frequently and the biggest thing I see when it comes to this is the transformations. Yes, the transformations are random, however there is a visual indicator informing both players when each transformation is happening and it gives you...

Hello everyone, I'm a new member to this board from midwestern Canada, hope to become acquainted with you all. I've been playing Samus since I began playing Melee in 2014 and have steadily been getting better and seeing more results as I play, however there are certain quirks to mid level...
