Have you tried releasing shield for a frame and then trying to perform the up+B cancel right afterwards? I feel that is how I do it OoS and the timing seems smooth. In other words, you shouldn't be holding shield down while simultaneously performing the up+B inputs. Even while defending...

I use X and then the C-Stick. I don't really think the inputs really matter as much though in comparison to the timing. The key to SHBAWD is performing the SHBA portion of the tirck before Doc reaches the highest peak of his SH, so before he hits the floor, the BA portion is done, which then...

It looks like you have a pretty solid understanding of the fundamentals as far as movement is concerned. You also did well with some feints against the Jiggs where you would act like you're going in, then WD backwards to bait something. That was good. Here is some advice I would like to...

You must not know the history of ESAM before Brawl came out.

ESAM (Eternal Samus) was a 13 year old kid slaying people in Melee in 2007 in Florida, and was known as the best FL. Samus main. I remember he took sets off of players that were arguably top 5 in FL. He seemingly came out of nowhere, and within I think was about 6 months he was a force to be...

This tech has a lot of potential. Definitely great that it was found. Applications at a tournament level will require mastery of the up+B cancel timing, as well as the two frame-perfect first and second directions for both left and right edges of the stage. I will do more theory crafting on...

While DJing from the edge, I've found that as long as you are more than halfway done with the pill throw animation by the time you reach the highest point of the DJ, you will be able to reset into neutral aerial position to grab the edge again. I have actually never timed this exactly with...

The Marth matchup is really about getting inside for close-combat with Doc.. Tools to assist you in doing this are Decoy Vitamin and Placebo, which are essentially full-jump rising pill -> double-jump rising pill -> waveland footsies, both toward and away from him. The Marth matchup you will...

The current meta has called for Falco players to come about differently than any other time in SSBM history. I don't see any of the pro Falco's near the ledge anymore. They know to maintain center stage and stick to their pros, pressuring most proficiently in close combat whereby when it's...

Here are some of my uses for the cape: 1.) SH reverse-cape waveland to edgehog 2.) Reverse cape all of the bombs in the game so it doesn't blow up in your face 3.) Punish Jiggs missed rest I rarely use the cape as an attack against my opponent but I have seen situations where it paid off...

Use the regional zones area of smashboards to find players and events in your area. You can also use Facebook and search for a smash group in your area to join to meet other Melee players. Nothing is better than tournament and player experience. If you are unable to practice with others due...

Fantastic.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Just wanted to make sure I got it on tape in case it was something new. I'll be putting the video on private now.

Hey guys. My brother KeepSpeedN and I were just enjoying some friendlies when this happened. Has anyone seen this before? Is this a new glitch? I'm not sure if this is stage subjective to battlefield, but if someone could try and recreate this and explain it that would be awesome...

This is the most recent match I remember watching. It's Winners Finals with Shroomed (Doc) vs. Mango (Fox) from KoC2 in April, 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWFDAgAGxxU
