Um, they actually are. If your goal is to git gud then playing against an opponent that doesn't play like a human AT ALL is the worst way to practice. The only CPU training I'd allow is if you are just starting out. If you can beat a level 6 CPU, you can play online. The input lag online does...

Let me know if you ever come to Southern Washington state!

The journey is 100% worth it! Keep at it.

Great writeup! Stoked for CEO this year, hoping Sparg0 places well, his Cloud is insane. As an aside, can you DM me Barnard? I am a web/app developer and want to do a data visualization app or something along those lines for Smash, but have not been sure who to talk to. You seem like a good...

Uh, what is that? :cyclops:

Sheik's bouncing fish. Its got flair, takes skill to use and setup correctly, and is SO satisfying. Runner up is Gannondorf's dair. The ultimate middle finger offstage.

I'd take the online plunge. I did near the same time where you're at now, and it was worth it. Got worked for a bit and learned the hard way. Coming back to level 9 CPU's now being decent at the game is interesting. No matter what character you fight against, it feels like you're playing...

... I accidentally neutral B instead down B to recover, after burning my jump, thus killing myself as Sheik, I'd have a lot of nickels. Your turn!

No worries my man. I also agree with you on that. Snake is strong and that's fine. People need to learn the matchup and stop whining.

Is the topic of discussion not “Unpopular Smash 5 Opinions?” :P

Sheik shouldn’t be buffed.

@Windfall I labbed this for about 30 seconds before work this morning hehe. I tested on Battlefield. The mechanics are very similar to the video you linked to. There is a section of the side of the state, a little bit below the edge and above the bottom of the screen. If you BF on those...

Just B. What changes is the timing of the attack. For lower percent forward throws -> BF, you want to DI in and hit special again right after BF so you can get the hitbox out asap. That's exactly what that is. I haven't labbed it enough to the specifics of where and why, but with you asking...

I'm a web developer and super into this idea. How would level and concentration of skill be calculated? By results?

Oh I misunderstood. It would take a lot of games to get from 75k - 90k. It took me an afternoon to get from 90-95k.
