Hey all! Nap here. It's definitely been a while, but I recently attended a tourney (ProMGig#2 in San Jose) with a video capture setup. So, I have some decent quality vids to revive this thread with: Singles: http://www.twitch.tv/norcalsmash/b/538615079?t=34m05s Should be Loser's Semi...

Might there be any space in the venue for P:M friendlies? Don't want to get in the way of Melee bracket or anything, but it would be pretty cool to have a setup or two on the side.

So, is anyone still playing PM in this area? I recently moved to Santa Rosa and haven't found anything like a scene around these parts but here's hoping.

I play G&W with tap jump off and I found a way to do OoS up+b that works well for me without altering any button inputs. Inside shield you can press up on the c-stick to jump. From there, it's not too hard to slide to the b button to input the up+b. These actions can be performed together fairly...

In unrelated news, I also think Wolf is by far the least offensive of the space animals and is a pretty manageable match-up since he can't just get random kills at 60%. I base this on playing against Rat, who I do think is considered a good wolf.

@Dakpo: I prefaced my post by saying that G&W was bad (I didn't say terrible because I don't like to make judgements like that about people I don't know, but that's just personal preference and since you know him, that's your right). I highlighted that video to show what a player, who is...

I agree with Calvo about this. I think Metaknight is a hard match up and I don't believe bacon is really that effective against him due to his speed, deceptively large disjoint, and short height. I played this match-up a lot against metroid and for me at least, it's really hard. MK's good at...

Just from what I noticed about Ike: Ike is strange because he has two effective ranges. One is his f-tilt distance that out ranges G&W pretty soundly and the other is his quickdraw distance, which is several character distances away. So the safest/best place to engage is either up in his face...

Update: Got a bunch of 2.6 friendlies recorded from a small smashfest last week. Posting it here more so that I can find them than anything else: Vs. Rat (Wolf) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-oYCYMP5RM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdbqohgzy7M Vs. Rat (Metaknight)...

Try using your tech roll. And also f-smash.

@ Juu, I totally agree. I was coming off a 2-3 week hiatus since college ended and I'm not roommates with metroid1117 anymore. I could feel myself using bacon as a crutch too often to force openings and was substituting speed for mind games because I had lost a lot of basic control. I've got...

Haven't been active for a while but I did attend a Smash tourney last week. Here are some GnW vs. Wolf(Wolf) vids that are decent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1eVHLNbAiU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioczwm4x5Y8 Also a friendly with ZSS (Oro)...

Yo Juu, those were some great matches! I'm surprised no one else has commented yet. Anyway, you probably have some of the best overall movement of a G&W that I have seen so far. So smooth. And you got some really nice reads. Overall, good stuff! Hope you post some more vids soon.

This makes me legitimately upset. Anyway, G&W's up-b is pretty integral to his combo game and honestly, it's probably his most important move. It makes G&W far more interesting and although some people might think it unusual since it doesn't follow melee's canon dogma about special fall, all I...

Thanks for the writeup 8-badge. Now I know that the c-stick must be used instead of being just convenient. This also explains why that when I fail, I get so many f-smashes. And thanks for the responses everyone else. Unfortunately, I got into the deeply ingrained habit of using both the R and L...
