Lol and it feels unnatural as a melee player to be able to act out of an airdodge but c'est la vie. Are you looking to play both sm4sh and melee in tourney or just one?

So if someone is really deep on your shield as Luigi, UpB out of shield is great to punish unsafe shield pressure. The catch is that if you miss the sweetspot and just get the coins then you probably will be punished hard. I don't know about Doc/ Mario's upBs so I can't help you there. The...

While on the subject of wavelanding (to any ganons that don't already know this): Ever hit someone up on battlefield and not been able to follow up because they land on the top platform? An extremely quick way to get to the top platform is to jump, DJ then waveland. Ganon's DJ gets him just high...

Quick clarification: what character(s) do you play? That changes your OoS options quite a bit

Where I do think we can evolve tech for Ganon is in his shield pressure. I feel like IF (and that's a big if) there is one unexplored aspect to his game it is in whittling down shields and going all Westballz on people with some optimized moves. Nicco's example of the CC jabs is one thing that...

I don't know have a list but I know Samus is pretty damn susceptible because her full replenished shield only covers down to her knees if she doesn't tilt her shield down

My thoughts were that the counter isn't going to be the finishing move of the edgeguard, but instead that you could use it to take away her one tether attempt. It definitely is a gimmick, but if you land it it becomes easier to edgeguard Samus once she doesn't have the tether option. I actually...

disclaimer: i don't play Marth, just Samus/ Ganon i just had an idea today So while watching Plup vs PewPewU I thought of an interesting idea to edgeguard w/ Marth / Roy against Samus. Why not run off + counter when she is recovering. If you time it right, you should be able to cover both if...

I guess where I usually have trouble am when i am facing the ledge and am trying to cover a phantasm/ whatever the fox equivalent is by edgehogging. For ganon I guess I can waveland/ moonwalk off because that also covers the "swag all over your opponent" option and samus/ puff aren't generally a...

So I think we all have heard the title phrase before. Here's the thing, I only really know a few (mostly inefficient) ways to do so. -wavedash/land back onto ledge -SH backwards onto ledge -some character specific ones like Jiggly's sing/ rollout or Marth's side-b/ bair Generally I'm finding...

Couple things (@Bwmat killed it in his answer but I have a few comments): 1) I'm 99.9% sure that the homing grab can grab out of midair. It's not that common of a thing for people to even try to get the homing grab so you don't really have to worry about it but it is a thing. 2) Watch out for...

So when screwing around in friendlies I managed to get a super missile cancel into dash grab, where the super missile seemed to make contact just after they were being reeled back in by the tether. Besides looking cool (and starting a bit of **** talk) it got me thinking, how viable is it...

Lol I was hoping someone would like the "sheik fsmash". And yeah I actually don't know what Marth's sword looked like up close when drawing this haha I'll post a revised version at some point and spend a bit more time on it

Greetings fellow smashers! I was working on some typography and art last night while my friend was playing smash and long story short I made this Marth themed thingy (logo? I guess). If anyone for some reason wants to use it feel free just let me know so I can get that nice joyful feeling of...
