Westballz, on a scale of 1-10, how totally mulched are your hands after a day of melee at a tournament? Just talking about this stuff makes my hands itch, I can't imagine how you'd do it all day.

Not much, if any at all.

I know boost grabs are useful for Sheik and all, but is boost grabbing with Falco useful for anything? The timing is kinda tight as well so I don't know if I should bother learning it, as I don't think I've ever seen it in competitive play.

Cool, never realized that. I might have to make an adjustment. Thanks!

I use L to L-cancel and R for everything else. Even when I wavedash out of shield I only use R. It just seemed simpler to just have to mash the R button instead of having to keep track of a whole other button.

You guys must be much more perceptive than I am, cause up until I saw aMSa I was convinced that Yoshi was completely unusable.

^ Sakurai thought of everything, didn't he?

One of the things that makes the pros look really really fast is that they all know EXACTLY when their attacks end and how they can move afterwards. A good example of this is Axe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDhbNFzdEik (Not a falco main, but the principle is there) First of all he's crazy...

The Bowser method that Naughty mentioned is a really good way of practicing and it's how I learned. Also, and this is something I've noticed from being a rookie around Smashboards, if there's something that you can't seem to get right, pretty much all the advice people are gonna give you is that...

Sliding from Y to B always makes me feel gross. I mean, I do it anyway cause I'm sure as hell not gonna use the control stick, but it's always felt a bit odd. Also, I've been watching a whole bunch of PP's vids lately, including a lot of his recent sets at APEX and I've noticed that instead of...

I can't decide if I'm more hyped to see his Fox or disappointed that we won't be seeing as much of his Falcon.

I think the ICs-Yoshi matchup might have to be reconsidered. Or maybe aMSa's just freaking amazing. Either way, all his sets are damn amazing.

It's all about style. Play around until you find the character you feel most comfortable with. Also, if your friends are a lot better than you it probably won't matter who you play as until you've caught up with them skill-wise. It's all about the practice.
