    Marth Match-Up Discussion (Update: ZSS!)

    I play a lot of Luigi, and a bit of Marth (I used to be more active with him in Brawl). In general, Marth has a somewhat neutral matchup thanks to fireballs pressuring him from a range, but still outclassing Luigi in close range. In general, at close ranges, Luigi can't do much but punish with...

    Who is your secondary and why?

    I very much like :4pacman:. His bonus fruit is really fun to use and he can do some pretty neat stuff with fire hydrants as well as grounded recoveries. I also really like :4villager:. He has a fairly unique kit that really appeals to me. :4megaman: is another one I play frequently for fun.

    Sonic Match-Up Thread (Heropon run from nothing!)

    I've fought a couple sonics, and one particularly good one who was great at mixing up his offense. I would say never throw out anything unsafe and play completely defensively, with mostly nairs as your source of damage. PP + grab seems to be fairly safe if he gets shielded and you're relatively...

    Data Town Hall Meeting - Villager Matchup Discussion

    I rarely use lloid rockets, and mostly do it when attempting to get back on the ledge (not using as a recovery, but as a way to prevent chasing and edgeguarding when recovering). I also occasionally use it as a mix-up or to make it easier for certain setups/approaches. I mostly just use fairs...

    Data Town Hall Meeting - Villager Matchup Discussion

    I'm supposing falco completely crushes villager? I was playing a couple games online and with my friends, and my core moves are pretty much all projectiles save some tilts and jabs. Given Falco has a ranged reflector, with a good read he could KO me at ridiculously low percentages or at least...

    Zoning/Spacing with Dash Grabbing

    I tried this with shulk and had some luck, but his nair comes out from behind him so it was a bit tricky, and his other aerials have quite a bit of landing lag so if I missed I could get punished. He was also playing super defensively and literally just backrolled every time I was in range, and...

    Help with some Shulk Matchups

    I would personally use speed arts to keep up with falcon and punish anything when you dodge him. In general, abuse your moves that come out quickly and have really good range or leave you safe afterwards, mainly your aerials. Bair is a move that comes to mind, but it takes quite a bit of...

    Shulk Tutorial: Help Wanted

    I would say master cancelling your Bair animation with landing. If you can do this your range is absolutely ridiculous and it's hard for your opponent to see it coming. If they shield it they're generally pushed away so it's harder to punish the landing lag you receive. Use monado arts VERY...

    Poll: Your Favorite Monado Art

    I use them all fairly equally, but I personally like smash because it's quite satisfying to KO them from 60% when you counter and launch them off.

    Zoning/Spacing with Dash Grabbing

    So I just got the Wii U version (don't have a 3DS) and I played quite a bit of for glory. This might be a really scrubby question, but it never really happened to me in brawl. How do I get past this? I main shulk and I often face a bunch of people who spam dash grabs because the combos can...

    A competitive game issue that NEEDS to be fixed

    Okay, so I don't play in tournaments that often at all. Would anyone mind explaining exactly how screen peeking works in Brawl then?

    A competitive game issue that NEEDS to be fixed

    I honestly cannot tell whether you're being sarcastic or you're talking about system-to-system screen lag.

    A competitive game issue that NEEDS to be fixed

    what point would screen peeking do? It definitely isn't good in FPS games but the camera in brawl adjusts to always show everyone onscreen at the same time, so screen peeking really isn't an issue in Smash Bros.

    Online help

    Well, the camera in SSBB has to show all players all the time. Hence, if even one person lags then pretty much the entire screen for everyone does. In MKW the camera is individually set so that if one person lags then only that person's view lags. Also if they lag they'll only seem to teleport...
