Is there an in-depth explanation of tether mechanics somewhere? There seems to be a lot of nuance around it. How long after air-dodging can I tether? How close do I have to be for the tether to fail? When can I jump out of the tether? Where is the range for the sweetspot tether? What about...

There's some Y. Link tech that I'm having trouble with. Y'all have any advice, or is it just a matter of practice? Nair OoS. I keep Zairing, I think I just need to drop the shield button faster. I've thought about setting the neutral shield to fully pressed (effectively disabling...

Axe kinda gets steamrolled in that match. It seems he has a really hard time dealing with Falco pressure. He does a nice bomb drop OoS into a combo @ 8:06.

Real talk, you're definitely a way better player than me, both then and now. I'm pretty sure you could have trunched me with your Falco. But yeah, if we're ever at the same tourney, I'd love to money-match. I love your videos, they're always full of interesting (but not necessarily useful)...

lol Prince Abu. I beat that guy's Shiek with my Y.Link at FC-R. That was a long time ago though, he was definitely the stronger player. I've been experimenting with Bair --> Stuff (Doc habits die hard). It seems like if you get both hits it can lead into grabs or tilts, but I have a hard...

Can someone reference me to some Y.Link v. Spacies vids? I'm trying to learn me some Y.Link, but all the recent high-profile matches are Y.Link v. floaties. The stickied video thread hasn't been updated in forever (R.I.P. smashboards) 'sup Sveet.

Man, this was the first thing I tried after I realized air dodge landing lag was massive. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it before. It's definitely pretty useful.

vs Marth: use pills to find openings, use your movement to deal with his range. Dthrow -> Usmash/Utilt/Uair is a really easy low/mid% combo. One trick I've found useful is to try and dash attack to clash with Marths' weak Fsmash hitbox and then Dsmash. Once you get in on him, try to stay...

Hey! I'd love to come to this, but I'd need a ride. I'm staying with a friend near Johns Hopkins, anyone wanna give a brother a lift?

Though I agree Bthrow is usually much better than Dtilt, I think it's a mistake to be so reductionist. Very rarely does one option strictly dominate another. At a first glance, Fox/Falco's Nair seems to be strictly better than Fair, but recently we've been seeing Fair used more because the...

I've been experimenting more with Dtilt near the ledge, and it actually seems like a really useful gimp tool. It hits them backwards (like Samus/Peach Dsmash), so they are forced to up-B (or otherwise turn around) if they want to grab the ledge. Getup-Dtilt and ledgehop-Dair-Dtilt both seem to...

in Melee, I used to go for DJC Dairs over the opponent's head to stall slightly and throw off their timing. In P:M, the Dair hitbox ends very early, so it seems Nair is the best option for doing this. Doesn't seem terribly useful though, unless weak Nair has combo potential. Frame data is...

Thoughts on M2K: He's really good, obviously. A lot of my bread-and-butter stuff worked on him the first 1-3 times, but afterwards he predicted and reacted accordingly. I had close matches when he was sandbagging, but he 4-stocked me once with Shiek. His movement/tech/etc. didn't seem that...

P:M Tournament this Sunday! Oro said he'd come. https://www.facebook.com/events/606393959456280 Will post rules and stuff here soon. Pools & double-elim bracket, slightly modified version of EXP's stage list
