I usually follow it up with grab. The other good option is to just wait and try to play the wakeup game. Down-B has a wide enough hitbox that you can punish rolls pretty easily. Doesn't require as much fron your reflexes that way.

Basically, do the sideB similar to a smash attack. With Samus, her normal side B is a slow, homing missile. Smashed side B is a faster, stronger, straight missile. You can test with her to make sure you've got the input right. No idea if true on DK, but it's kinda neato if it is.

Yes. More specifically, when a fighter gets hit by something light while they're on the ground, they get put in this odd 'lock' state where they bounce in place and then have to stand up. No roll or attack. Jabs are the most universal way, but not the most convenient. This takes advantage of...

These. Dk's got a flexible edge game; all his aerials and specials are well suited to it, or at least applicable. The spikes and giant punch are for punishing predictable recoveries. Nair and Bair are general use. They come out quick and allow for easy up B, both for offense and recovery. Up B...

I would've liked X the first time around, but as a second it's too much overlap. Zero's been in (specifically crossover) fighting games before, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Marvel vs Capcom, Capcom vs SNK, and I think Onimusha Blade Warriors. So he could work. And I would enjoy it. I love Tron, but it...

I don't get the Rosa hate either. As said, Luma's less of a threat to Mario compared to most, and once it's just Ros she can't zone Mario out very well. Or I'm fighting crap Rosas. Worst matchups... Im not sure. Mario seems to go even with a lot of characters. Sonic isn't easy; his speed is duh...

Yeah, I'm not perfect either. It feels sort of pretentious to suggest stuff, but I figure if I'm wrong somebody's gonna correct me and we'll all be better off knowledge-wise. When I explain characters, I usually try to focus on a mentality/plan as a starting point and add moveset applications...

Down-B spike is slick. I love it. I also like offstage n-air and b-air. Stage spikes can work at the right damage, and both come out pretty fast. I think of F-air as a stomp that happens in front of you instead of below you. So as they recover, you can choose between F/D-air based on your...

Pikachu's a nasty one for DK. TC's got the right idea, though. Tilts are your friend. Tilts are always your friend. I didnt know they were that disjointed, but it does explain how they cancel projectiles so well. Is it just me, or is DK the best of the heavies at dealing with them? It's so easy...

This is good stuff. Comprehensive, and in my experience, quite accurate. Love having the damage numbers and applications on record. Though nair is better than it gets credit for, as long as you can predict/prevent attacks from the weak angles. The spacing, matchups, and final thoughts sections...

You can play this one on defense, to a point. It seems counter-intuitive, but most projectile spammers are pretty well telegraphed, and often predictable. Watch the animations closely, and time your shields and tilts to block the shots as you slowly close the distance. Tilts and even jabs clash...

I kinda hate to bump, but I was wondering if someone has/could reupload the .jar file, for use under linux. I just installed Kubuntu 10.10, and even though I have wine and OpenJDK runtime installed, the exe claims there's no java environment. My best guess is that GCTedit.exe looks for the...

I'd be happy to help playtest, for as much use as it'd be. But that's probably unlikely. I don't have any real credentials, just that I've been playing Smash since the 64 days. So if you really need people, hit me up on smashmods (same name) since I rarely ever come here anymore. I'm not a...

I haven't been able to change the CSS layout properly in Brawl-. It always freezes on the SSS. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Original thread without any responses (sadface): http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=296665 Also, @Hotdogturtle: Awesome CSS layout. I hope you guys get...

@Photos: You probably could, if there was a way to make something like an auto-combo script. Basically, on input X, send commands A, B, and C to character M. Don't give any inputs to player 2 until player 1 is done. Depends on how free we are to mess with it. Tough to tell.
