Ive had the same problem, though it usually happens in practice (with much repitition of the same inputs) and not in a match. I havent thought about it too much except to note that it's annoying. No idea regarding how the game code reads the inputs though. I'd say practice to avoid doing...

If you really want to optmize your grip, you should learn claw in the right hand.

Dude, see a doctor if you're really having problems.

Some tech i practice: -Invincible waveland from ledge -bair waveland -upsmash out of shield -short hop aerial out of shield with variable DI -wavedash out of shield -SHFFLs -Wave dash - i spend a lot of time getting his wave dash perfect on command. Mario can cover alot of ground in 2...

Do what you normally do. I find that when one hasn't been practicing on a regular basis, going about some intense tournament prep routine that is totally out of character can debase usual skills. This is mostly a mental thing as unusual practice can highlight areas where one isn't prepared...

I think the ideal is claw. I haven't seen anything that suggests it's other than the best possible grip. Don't get scared of transitioning. I did it. Doesn't take long if you practice. 3 weeks. If you dont't practice, then you're not going to SHDL with consistency ever so there's...

Not universally true. Sometimes you want to overshoot a move through them or position yourself such that you are ready for the next offensive move. Its not always about hitting at max range. Charple, You've got to play a lot and against a lot of people. There's nothing anyone can tell...

I have some thought provoking mario ideas. Will post soon. The reason mario forums arent as active as lets say fox/falco/falcon forums has less to do with there being a lack of legitmate mario players and more to do with brand new players who have absolutely no idea how to do anything trying...

When I first started playing, I had trouble short hopping as well. I encountered trouble again when I converted to the Claw Grip. As with all tech-skill, one has to carve the motion into muscle memory. To improve the consistency of my short hop, I used to short hop 100 times (try to short hop...

Claw is the answer. Don't be worried about the transition. Only took me 3 weeks to be approximately back to where i was. Just practice everyday and do it. When you have such an easy way to improve your play, why not do it? If you dont, i dont think its a stretch to say that you're not...

@Squire: dude make an independent thread for your topic. Don't get in the way of BasicallyRyan's question. @BasicallyRyan: Bait a hit of some sort, shield it, wavedash out of shield, grab. Situationally dependent upon the hit and spacing.

Tech skill is, by far, less significant than the mental aspects of the game. Practicing alone does nothing to improve your mental abilities versus other players.

Your difficulty can be attributed to two things the way i see it. Definition: "Input Train" - a series of inputs 1) Grip The way one holds the controller contributes to the difficulty of consistently executing certain input trains. For example, the Claw Grip is vastly more advantageous...

Poor question. No move falls under the category "never use." The problem with your question is that its too general. The better question would be: In what situation would such a move be the best choice? Or, what move is the best choice in this situation? Even better: How do i develop my...

The relatively recent logo-less white controllers have been reported to be the same as the newest smash logo controllers. Check into this further by research outside of smashboards and by taking apart the controllers and comparing them.
