I generally play really defensively against Marth in neutral. You can't get stuffed if you don't approach, he has no real way to counter good laser camping, and Marth's attacks on-shield are hilariously bad against Falco. Badly spaced aerial? Shine oos. Well spaced aerial? WD back -...

Well if they're just standing there up tilting you can out prioritize it with knee, or try catching them off guard by running up and shield grabbing the utilt/bair. Of course bair-shine beats this and puts you in a pretty bad spot. The thing is Falcon is fast enough to get in there between...

Having a problem with the xdelta patcher. When I hit patch I get an error: "xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT". Is the a problem with my ISO? Is it because I'm using vMelee 1.00? EDIT Tried again with a v1.02 iso and it worked fine.

I was more referring to how just shine or Usmash oos are such solid options anyway. I suppose if a Falcon tries to poke you with Uair under the platform you can counterattack with a shield drop, and similar situations. I dunno, it just seems really situational and not quite as OP as people make...

I recently learned to shield drop and after about 2 weeks of drilling I can do it about 90% of the time on command. But I've been having trouble actually finding uses for it in-match besides as an extra way to escape pressure, which wasn't exactly hard to do with Fox in the first place. So, can...

You have to dash before you jump, if they DI all the way to the side, tap-jumping will probably be a liability, I'd just try to get good at DJing with x/y and getting your thumb to the c-stick really fast.

Amazing how much confusion you can avoid with commas.

I thought the general way to do instant Uair for any character was to just flick up and hit A. Never even considered using the c-stick, just seems like you're moving your thumb an extra inch for no reason..

I use Dair with Fox about 3x more often than I do with Falco.

We already got an updated Melee, it was called Project M, and Nintendo killed it immediately.

I think I found your main problem. Definitely find a CRT asap. Other than that, it just takes time. It took me probably a year of Project M and 6 months of Melee, grinding tech skill almost every day, to git gud. And all I have is consistent tech skill, I still get completely destroyed by most...
