After bouncing around for months between several characters, I finally decided to settle down as a Link main. I've put some time into Link in Melee and 64, but obviously this is his best iteration by far. My question is this: How much of a camp game do I need to play? Previous Links have been...

Serious thread, why is everyone saying Mewtwo is the bees knees now? I absolutely abhor playing as him so I have basically no firsthand experience. To me he just looks like a less crappy Melee Mewtwo. Besides the tail of death, did he get any new tricks that really helped him out?

I don't have a main, and it's possible that I never will, so I play a bunch of characters. The best ones are probably :ivysaur::bowser2::zelda::link2: I also play :dedede::charizard::kirby2::gw::pikachu2::roypm:, but not well enough to be confident with them in a tournament setting.

I'd like some info about shielding after attacks, and if it is possible/optimal to buffer your shield after an attack or otherwise. Let's say I whiff a laggy move on the ground. If I hold the L button during the animation, will my shield pop up during the first IASA frame of the attack? If not...

Prog was always the kind of guy to show you kindness and respect, no matter how much of a nobody you were in the scene. Most people won't give you the time of day if you aren't good at the game, but not Prog. When I was just starting out at NY tournaments he was always nice and willing to talk...

Will this patch also include a balance update?

Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm curious to know to what extent Nintendo knows about this game (I recently jumped on the bandwagon). I can't imagine that they don't, seeing as how it's popularity has grown substantially as of late. My question is if they know, why are they not doing...

I agree with this 1000%. Can't tell you how many times I've been mashing, only to break out with an air dodge or some completely unsafe move. Either give feedback telling you to stop, or put a small buffer where button inputs are not read right after you successfully mash out.

I was actually shocked that Nintendo was taking input during E3 considering the amount of time they have left to change the game. If they implement any changes, they are likely to me very minor, as OP said, because of the risk of a rippling effect. Even if they had more time, I doubt they would...

Wow, very interesting system. Good to know that armor deals with knockback and not damage. Unfortunately, armor values are not present in every frame data set, but I should be able to estimate them for myself through experience

Finally got to setting up this game. When I was browsing through the PM website though, I saw some things about armor now being split into several categories. Specifically, what is the difference between light armor and heavy armor (or simply non-light armor)? Armor seems like a thing that is...

That's interesting, I thought you'd want to minimize trainers to make room for Pokemon and energy. I played primarily big green in Magic so I like big creatures and lots of lands. Fire type seems to fit that playstyle for me. Maybe the way you need to play the game with the crappy starter decks...

I found this: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Unlimited_format_%28TCG%29 Does anyone actually play Unlimited or am I wasting my time trying to make a deck for that format? I really don't like TCGs that don't have a strong "legacy" following because it means you basically have to drop...

I want to start playing the Pokemon TCG, but I'm not entirely sure where to start in regards to deck building. I have a few questions about the game and about deck building. I played Magic for several years, so feel free to use TCG jargon if you want. 1. Are there different formats like in...

I just bought a mayflash adapter and it works just as well on the emu as when I use my cube contrtoller on the VC version of smash 64.
