@capusa27 I don't think you can do only zoning with the sword while holding a position, the risk/reward just isn't there unless you're fighting characters lower down in the tier list that have a lot of trouble getting in. I like to play a pokey style but grabs are really too rewarding to pass...

And this is why it's worth learning punishment percents. It builds your "pyramid" and allows you to more easily make higher creative leaps toward what is "suspended in the sky just above the top of your pyramid."

Buddy join the Marth R&D discord, you might find people that'll be willing to collaborate or at least divide up work. Great stuff btw. discord.gg/01352PHCHms6PyCv9

Leffen did adapt. Game 1 1:32: https://youtu.be/JmCDQHKcbUw?t=1m32s Zain did a SHFFL Fair -> dtilt three times in a row. In the first interaction, Leffen FH daired over him and overshot, missing him. In the second interaction, Leffen ran into the dtilt. On the third, Leffen attempted to...

Yeah I glazed over the chaingrabs, and I wasn't sure if I should repeat the bold claim Kadano makes when he basically turns the "guaranteed chaingrab" into a mixup (ambiguous crossup). As for utilts, 0e has a 110 degree angle, so it's even easier for the opponent to escape followups than 3c...

Anyway what I came here for is feedback on my blog posts about Uthrow combos on spacies @Dr Peepee http://marthnerd.blogspot.com/2017/03/marths-uthrow-combos-on-fox-and-falco.html http://marthnerd.blogspot.com/2017/03/marth-uthrow-combo-table-and-flowchart.html

I know you probably don't want an answer from me, but if you're not using conditioning to inform your reads, then you're just guessing. The conditioning doesn't even have to be intentional or planned out, both players are always being conditioned, you just need to think about or intuit how past...

The article is correct in that it only ended up scratching the surface. In Melee, the way moves have less blockstun, and at low percents, less hitstun, really affects how you can pressure your opponent. Only Fox and Falco really have post-shielded aerial situations that are comparable to...

For the throw combo charts, are they tested with port priority or no? 1 frame advantage or not?

An issue with Marth's walk is that once it gets to a certain speed, dashing back in the other direction suffers from the forward momentum from the walking, making your strongest defensive option weaker. You can reset the momentum by dashing forward briefly before dashing back or by shield-WDing...

Against nair, a big improvement in that matchup for me was to recognize where Falcon's dash SH nair covers. He can reach very far away from where he jumps so dashing away from it and whiff punishing probably won't work. However, Marth can slip under a long range nair he dashes toward him so...

Came back here to say: it's worth noting that my criticisms pulled nothing from my Melee knowledge. So my skill level at Melee is irrelevant. Not necessarily, you still have to be able to apply what you know and execute what you want to do. Classic theory fighter pitfall. You criticized me...

Lol, sure, the point isn't being right, he deserves credit for those 5k words! I'll admit I'm being a ****, but please. That attitude is not in the competitive gaming spirit. @Virusbleumage LOL I played Smash 4 for like 3 months. And none of what you quoted was wrong aside from mixing up...

Ho oh yeah, I've been disappointed plenty of times. There's like, one useful active thread to me on this entire board. This recent era of people talking about optimizing strategy and making real tutorial and tech videos and not silly "combo videos" is way over due. Day 1 in Soul Calibur I was...

It's not under-discussed at all. It's been done before in much better ways, that's why I linked some random blog that does it better. I don't think a "perfect" approach really makes sense but it sure as hell isn't subjective, either. Some guides are better than others. Not everyone deserves...
