I'm tired of hearing that crap because grabbing Fox is incredibly difficult because of his shield pressure.

I agree with using it on the ledge. I was versing a Sheik today who was very aggressive on the ledge when I was offstage. I noticed he was actually so close to the ledge that I could sing ledge cancel > rest him. Which I did. However, only use this if they are literally RIGHT at the edge of the...

He misspaced an up-b and you didn't rest it. As soon as you hear that noise from the dolphin smash you should think "rest!" You sometimes just walk around too without attacking. You want to use as many *spaced* bairs as you can to scare him out and bait his attacks. I have netplay so I'd love...

But that's the thing, if Marth is standing still how will he mess up since he's not attacking? The Marth I fight isn't aggressive. He waits for ME to mess up, if I float around with back airs to bait him to make a mistake he just ends up punishing me spacing.

Yeah but that leaves him dominant and relying on your approach. What's the best way to approach him if he's waiting for you to run into him? That's my biggest issue.

Awesome, thanks. I practiced on cpus last night and found that it's MUCH easier to cancel when you shffl the dairs.

Kick ass. Thanks, man. I have a reaaaally tough time with Marth (even edgeguarding him sometimes gets me meteor smashed from his ****ing up-b lol) so I really look forward to it.

Thanks, approaching with Puff is usually my problem sometimes because I weave out too much from my initial attack and they end up shielding. I practiced some dair > upsmash last night and found that when I shorthop dair it's so much easier. I rarely am able to L-cancel after doing a falling dair...

I can't imagine what this looks like, if you can find or make a video of it please post it. I'm extremely interested!

Sick, thanks a lot. I'll try timing it later then. Do you think it matters if you start dair before hitting the opponent or starting it right when you hit them? I noticed timing the last couple frames of dair on an opponent allows you to fall faster which might make it easier to cancel. I've...

I have the same exact issue, I just posted in another thread regarding this. It's so difficult for me to tie in the moves. I tried dairing earlier, later, and just generally timing it differently. Even when I hit L to cancel I feel so much lag and can't tie in an up smash.

Name= Sage Location= Washingtonville, New York, USA Nearby Smashfests= not sure Nearby Tourneys= No Johns Monthly is in Nanuet (40 mins away from me) Message me if you want to do friendlies at my house. I really need the practice. Gonna get Melee Netplay soon so I can play online with y'all :)

I really want to do dair to utilt or dair to usmash combos but I always **** it up I think because of the lag after the dair. Any advice on how to l-cancel it? I don't fully understand autocancelling either. If I l-cancel where I was going to autocancel will that ruin the autocancel?

I'm not professional enough to give much of a critique but I didn't see enough upairs. One thing you missed on Falcon around 14:00 was after he grabbed you it gave opportunity for you to sink down > upair > rest but instead you baired. When the opponent is above you it gives the option to just...

I used Kirby in every Smash growing up and then I used Kirby in Melee once getting into the competitive atmosphere recently only to find out how terrible he is.. "Well, Puff is a pink ball that also has a good air game". After playing Puff I'm just obsessed, now I enjoy her in all three games...
