Why the **** would you use Psybeam on a Caterpie? Bug resists psychic.

Well as far as Melee goes, stiff movement, long landing lag, and difficulty shffling are all common symptoms of playing Kirby. But seriously, if you've only been playing for a small amount of time, don't expect to suddenly be able to do all the cool stuff that the guys have been playing for...

I've been told that Marth chain grabs on spacies pretty much follow a flowchart, but that really more refers to the player's understanding of everything that can occur in that situation and how to react to it, rather than having drawn up an actual chart.

Hey guys, I'm gonna be moving into my dorm at Georgia Tech pretty soon, and I was wondering if there's any Melee players here on the Boards who also go there!

Honestly, I never really liked Melee until I tried playing it at a higher level. It is definitely unpolished and unbalanced as ****. But that's sort of the beauty of it. A better made game wouldn't be willing to let you have as much fun as Melee does.

I feel like any situation where you could go for a dash attack on shield you could just as easily keep dashing then do a JC grab. You probably shouldn't rely too much on a strategy if you're describing it as "in hopes that I will be able to go through them." Also, don't quote me on this, but I...

Nah. It's not like when they banned Meta Knight. They did that because he made the game kinda boring. Fox just makes the game more interesting.

Dude, you can't even comprehend the magnitude of the ****storm you're entering by asking that question. I personally think that Melee is a lot deeper. There's a much higher skill ceiling, and you can definitely do much cooler stuff. But because of that it will happen frequently that a guy will...

Post all the ****posts. Stop having them not be posted.

Well, if you get an official one they're all pretty much the same except for the colors. The new ones that came out with Sm4sh are a little bit heavier and have longer cords. There's nothing objectively wrong with 3rd party controllers. They may be shaped a bit different, but they generally...
