    SSSS Tournament SATURDAY EDITION! (4/4)

    Is it too late to sign up? Also I'm really not that good and live in Scotland so can I still enter?

    How can I improve my air game?

    I've been struggling at getting better at Smash 4 and one of the main reasons (I think) is because I can't connect my hits in the air. I get too scared of running off and not being able to get back on that I very rarely try to edgeguard. When I do my attacks either miss or I jump at the wrong...

    A guide to becoming a competitive Smash 4 player!

    I'm having the same problem. I've been playing for hours upon hours and no signs of improvement. I know it's a john to blame the controller but the 3DS just isn't suitable for Smash and the absence of a c-stick is really throwing me off.

    Video Match Analysis/Improvement Thread

    Glad I found this thread. This is a match I played today and pretty much every match I played with this person was the same. I'm the Captain Falcon and any tips you could give me to help me improve would be greatly appreciated.

    Cap Falc/Sheik main here. Name your main(s) and the best strategies to use to beat you!

    If you're Little Mac you better watch out if you're playing against Mario or the Doctor. A single cape off stage is all it takes for you to lose a stock as there is next to nothing you can do to recover.

    Q&A Mirror of Truth or Palutena's Advice? Both available at all hours of the day

    What are Dark Pit's approach options? I have trouble mixing things up when I use him and this becomes my downfall to adaptable players.

    Sparring Partners?

    Thanks for the advice guys, I'll go take my questions to the character forums

    Sparring Partners?

    Thanks for the advice, although I don't really know what questions I could ask because I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong in the first place. I know this is a john but I SD a lot just because the circle pad will slip and do sideb instead of upb or vice versa so that's probably something I...

    Sparring Partners?

    I agree it's best to play as people better than you but you also need to be able to beat them too. It's like playing a difficult piece of music; you can try learning a Grade 8 piece when you're Grade 1 but it ain't going to be pretty and might not be as helpful compared to practicing things in...

    Sparring Partners?

    In the last match I literally managed to get about 9% on you :I

    Sparring Partners?

    Okay I think we both know now that I'm never going to win a game, lol. Good matches, I probably should've mentioned that I'm a scrub

    Added you :)

    Sparring Partners?

    Anyone wanting to play some games? I have a tournament between friends coming up and I'd like to play against some really good people. My FC is 3523-2118-1902

    Do you use your taunt? Why?

    To be honest I try to avoid taunting whenever possible. It feels disrespectful to the other player and is probably just going to piss them off. I get unbelievably annoyed at people that taunt when I SD because they didn't even have any input to that death, it was all my fault so you don't even...

    I'm just...terribly bad...

    Yeah, definitely don't practice with bots, playing against humans is the best way to get better. If you can't win on FG maybe try finding a partner to play with on different stages that aren't FD as they might give you more of an advantage.
