    Removing Distinction Between CP and Starter Stages

    You're correct, I did mean to say subjective. I agree that the match-up, skill levels, and the knowledge that both players have is what should be important. As far as stages are concerned, though, I'm assuming that those factors are even, simply because there's no other way to decide how the...

    Removing Distinction Between CP and Starter Stages

    I... never said IC counterpicked others with BF. First game they can always strike BF and the game will be played either on FD or Smashville depending on which one you strike. Those are the stages that an IC player will always go to if they lose a game - it is their favored counterpick. The...

    Removing Distinction Between CP and Starter Stages

    AlMoStLeGeNdArY, you're missing the point. If you have a starter list of only Final Destination, Battlefield, and Smashville, you're giving Diddy and IC players a free counterpick. If they strike Battlefield, you get to choose between Final Destination and Smashville... the two best stages for...

    Wario Q&A Thread

    Well if they have all these different rules, they might decide who wins after time runs out differently too... they probably just play out sudden death. If that's the case, choosing a big stage to run away wouldn't help much (other than pissing everyone off which is always fun :) ). What other...

    Metagame Development Thread. New thing to read!

    Thanks for the link. Could you elaborate more on why his tire game is limited? If you throw a tire from above them they HAVE to respond, and I can't think of a situation where their response handles both the tire and any possible follow-up of yours. They can also be used to break more bikes...

    Metagame Development Thread. New thing to read!

    So what's with you guys and hating on Wario's bike? I've seen tons of posts from veteran Wario players talking about how bad it is and even one saying that any player who considers it being useful is completely worthless. I also read a post saying it was discussed already ... but I've been...

    Wario Q&A Thread

    While we're on the subject of how useless bikes/tires are and how good MK is vs Wario, I think you guys should watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgsDBtQqEvs They're obviously just messing around, but Ally did some stick stuff and I think we should look into it more.

    Wario Q&A Thread

    When you're fighting MK you generally want to recover high. If you must recover low, use the bike far away from the ledge and be prepared to DI because he can hit you with nair or dair as you go up. You just gotta be tricky to hit and be prepared, because it's really unlikely that you won't get...

    Wario Q&A Thread

    So when you guys are camping, how do you know when to attack and when to back off? I know the idea is to punish them when they commit to something, but I need a more specific idea since some of his attacks are so tricky to punish (at least online). I've also heard that dthrow can be buffered...

    Wario Q&A Thread

    Hey guys, I've main'd Wario since late 08 and still suck. I typically get bracket ***** and can't go to many tournaments as it is, so I play online quite a bit. There's a DDD player that I brawl often and I almost always lose, though it's usually close. He tells me that I should try camping...

    Wario Q&A Thread

    Here's a bunch of questions to keep you guys busy lol Why do I never see Wario players use dtilt? Does anyone else like using dthrow to buffered turnaround jab? What do you guys do when you're in close range? I usually mix up between spot dodges, jabs, grabs, nair/dair and wafts if they're at...

    Wario Q&A Thread

    Here's an old thread about how Wario does on each stage... a bit outdated but it's still helpful. http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=182253 His top 5 stages depends on your playstyle, who you're fighting against and what stages are banned in your area lol. Most Wario players have...

    Wario Mains Interview Thread! Interview: TooBusyToCare!

    Is there any particular reason why you play campy instead of aggressive? Don't you ever get bored of the slow games? Have you ever lost a coin battle with Wario?

    The Official "Critique My Diddy" Thread!

    I am learning Diddy as a secondary, I picked him up because I've always liked using him and he covers Wario's bad stages (FD, Luigi's Mansion and Pictochat when legal) VERY well. I forgot to say that game was online..powershielding and z-catching is really hard on wifi lol (I can powershield...
