Sounds like he doesn't know how to control it. If you sit there spamming the whistle for the SAF he can easily just park it right on top of you. You'd rack up crazy damage if you tried to just whistle through that the whole time.

I'll take a look at it. Was that the name displayed for the animation of touching the ground, though? Because the real impact of "wavedashing" as it was actually used has nothing to do with the animation, only the physics as they are calculated (or more specifically how the friction...

How is Mario's recovery? I'm not all that great with Mario as of yet but it seems like it is a bit lacking compared to most other characters so far. His Up-B doesn't seem to cover a whole lot of horizontal distance and the cape seems to kill your momentum more than it did in Melee. Any tips or...

People claiming it happens doesn't mean it happens. Right now we have one video that looks like a player trips in the air after dropping through a platform on Smashville. Other than that we have absolutely no evidence of air tripping, nor is there any instances of it in any full matches posted...

So what is wavedashing's "official" name, then? I've never seen it printed or listed in any documents or statements provided by the developer. Either way, it makes no difference whether they became aware of it during development. The question put forth was "is it an intentional or...

Actually, an unintended result is the very definition of a bug. It was the combination of the three actions producing an unintended result.

I thought the Melee CPUs did the same thing.

It's true that we probably will not find many, if any new "ATs" that were actually intended. That said, a lot of the most useful techs tend to be "glitches", and it will take a good while before we really get most of those discovered. Wavedashing was one such thing and it changed the meta of...

You're going to run into blaster-heavy Wolf characters, and not just online - it's one of Wolf's better strategies. Not because the blaster is particularly hard to avoid (although it has a nice hitbox for a projectile) or does that much damage, but because Wolf's approach options are fairly...

Are you sure the people you're fighting aren't terrible? Put bluntly, OOS is important for everyone.

I don't think game designers create or balance their games with regards to the success of other developers' work.

The only real advantage it has is when you aren't knocked far off the side. It does cover horizontal distance much faster, so once every 50 matches or so you might dodge an incoming spike. Huzzah?

Actually there are a few reasons. He zones better than TL. His arrows travel much faster and have more knockback, and his sword has larger hitboxes, creating a more powerful spacing game when combined with the other two projectiles. He also has slightly more control over stage influence due to...

Actually, yeah - and he's right. But thanks for trying to be a smart ***. You cannot directly influence knockback momentum in the opposite direction until the physics engine expends all energy in that direction after it is awarded by the attack. Thus, if you were hit straight up, and you...

I have a feeling this is more about the definition of "armor frames", isn't it? :P Anyway, I agree - Yoshi's a love it or hate it thing. It just seems the vast majority fall into the latter category. I guess I'm one of them; I don't hate the character, I just hate how he plays. Whenever I do...
