In the OP yes, but you can't RSVP because the smashboards event has an incorrect date.

I think you need to change the date for the event...

Surely I'm not the only one who thought Ragyo Kiryuin when they first saw this?

Real talk though, I'm totally going to be going even with JWu and ****ting down some throats in less than a year's time. Prepare yourselves, Hidden Bosses.

1) I get the impression Falco is best when he controls the center of the stage and when his opponent is above him (with some margin behind and in front of him). 2) He can avoid easy gimps and on stages with platforms can extend combos on to platforms, pending percentage and DI in the center of...

I've been playing Melee competitively for a bit over four months now, and while I've succeeded in getting most of the basic techskill for Falco down (waveshining, SHL, SHFLing, etc.) I've found that my ability to adapt and to space around my opponent hasn't improved nearly as much. What can I do...

Could someone please post a download link to Bero's AI Handbook? I'm interested in fiddling around with the AI over winter break, but the link to the program Bero posted in his thread (http://smashboards.com/threads/ai-handbook-2-0x-readable-syntax-stable.300461/) is broken.

Hear that guys? He says it's not a pyramid scheme. That TOTALLY means we can trust Mr. Shady Internet Man now!

^This. Competitive Melee's hard enough as is for a beginner, especially given how developed the metagame is. Don't make it any harder than it needs to be by maining an unviable character.

Long story short, G&W and Mewtwo suck. Just play Doc.

The only problem with a Mango vs Armada rematch is that there's a good chance that unless it was EVO (or maybe APEX or Genesis) one of them wouldn't have cared enough to be fully prepared. As much as we'd all love to see it, a peak Armada vs peak Mango match will probably never happen.

I would strongly recommend against playing online. The lag will only make you worse when you play on a CRT. Assuming you don't have anyone in your area, just practice techskill and comboing level 1 CPUs. M2K has an excellent thread about how he improved in the early days of his smash career, and...

Most people aren't like Umbreon. I can tell you it took me two weeks (albeit of sporadic practice) to get wavedashing down, and at least another couple weeks before I was at all proficient. I'd focus on SHFL before wavedashing though; it's much more important to being a good player than...

Are you sure? I know that Melee running through Devolution has functioning analog shoulders on Wii U.

Sakurai invented all of the characters. EDIT: Ninja'd. It's a little odd someone else thought the same thing when they saw this thread.
