    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    If you do Bo7 you should probably switch to the Last stage you won on form of DSR rather than any stage you've won on. FoD vs Fox/Falco is a fairly common stage to strike to from what I've experienced, and if they don't let me strike there I tend to counterpick it anyways. Platforms are often...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    No it never true combos and they can always jump out of it. However if you call the jump you can just uair/fair them afterwards and juggle them for tons of % especially on FD. Uthrow follow ups are about getting a feel for their patterns and when they like to jump. I like to always Utilt the...

    Data Kadano's perfect Marth class -- advanced frame data application

    Uthrow knockback would only affect Fsmash's knockback if you hit them while they're rising. If you do, then Fsmash's knockback would actually be amplified by Uthrow's knockback as the two would combine, resulting in a more upwards trajectory with higher total knockback. Again, this relies on you...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    The way I see it is that PPMD is trying to play an incredibly safe and neutral heavy game vs Peach where he uses movement to suffocate Peach's options. Because of this, the large main platforms of FD & PS greatly help help as he always has enough room to move around, and the lack of top platform...

    Is Marth the best character?

    Marth: Peach is in Marth's favor, Marth:Jiggs is probably slightly in Jiggs favor but not by much. Sheik is pretty awful, but not so bad that you can't overcome it. Marth:Falcon is similar to Jiggs in that it's probably slightly in Falcon's favor but overall just really close and stage dependent.

    Leffen got 9th. I'm honestly super surprised by Silent Wolf in top 8. The dude beat Shroomed, SFat, Fiction, and Leffen, that's amazing.

    Q&A Sheik Q's&A's/Videos/Gen Discussion

    Sheik's other options kinda get crapped on by crouch cancelling at low % so you generally want to get grabs and tech chase or needles. However, if they approach with a SH aerial or something similar where they can't crouch cancel, then other options like F-tilt become very good. At higher...

    Probably more like 41 new characters, IC versions of every character not just Ike Climbers.

    Tier List Speculation

    The CT tier list makes me want to play Sheik/Peach just to prove how amazing they STILL are in this game. Like wtf how do you put Peach at 3rd lowest when she's almost exactly the same as her Melee incarnation. Peach in mid tier (rather than High/Upper-Mid) I can maaaaaaaaybe see an argument...

    Project M Social Thread Gold

    PMBR please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that the physics delay doesn't affect short hop timings at all, and the extra frame has to do with how Brawl detects short hops.

    Correct, Falco cannot short hop double laser. For short hop single laser, fast falling will change the height of the laser which can be very useful, especially for Falco. Also, fast falling when trying to do a double laser will, in most cases, cause you to only shoot a single laser, so it's...

    Don't give up. CPUs are very predictable, so take the time to observe what your opponent is doing, and think about how the character you're using can beat that.

    Going to assume you're talking about Fox, and the fast fall part is unnecessary. If you're only getting one laser in your short hop then it means you aren't pressing B soon enough after jumping. If I remember correctly you only have a few frames after you're airborne to press B if you want to...

    Q&A Official FAQ and QnA Thread - Ask Your Questions Here!

    Link's jumpsquat is actually 6 frames and bowsers is 8. You become airborne on the 7th and 9th frame respectively. Also, to further clarify, a full hop is determined by whether or not jump is being pressed on the last frame of the jumpsquat animation. Thus Fox, who is airborne on frame 4, with a...
