Thank you the mechanic was confusing to me because i wasnt sure what happens when you fastfall and then charge needles in the air, it kind of seemed like it ignored the momentum change to me but ill be sure to mess with it.

Just a quick question, can I fast fall needles from the air with sheik like with falco? It doesn't seem like it but I'm not sure if im doing something wrong. Waiting for sheik to slowly fall from the air to get the needles as close to the auto-canceled grab/attack leaves you vulnerable for a...

Yoshi's is good but if you're playing in tournament its pretty much a guaranteed ban by the Shiek. FD is the next best if you understand the neutral game. Shiek can't really deal with downtilit on that stage and you have a lot of space to bait and move around. Additionally your punishes are...

you need to bait the spot-dodges with your dash dancing and THEN grab. You should mostly be grabbing/d-tiliting out of neutral and and especially grabbing after confirmation situations (especially whiffed grabs/dash attacks). As a general rule of thumb don't go for raw ANYTHING in this matchup...

I was getting really bummed out by getting spot-dodged all the time but it forced me to learn a crucial principle with Marth: The Wait. People are going to look to spot dodge mostly after tech chase scenarios because its the fastest option to avoid a followup out of a defenseless state. This is...

I absolutely love his Marth and I still think he is the true embodiment of the character, even if he's not the best Marth anymore. His timing is amazing and his intent is always good even if he doesn't execute things properly sometimes. He shines at positional pressure and mindgames which I feel...

I love this character and I would main him if I could (and I did when i first started playing) but he has really unfortunate flaws. For one, his shield leaves half of his body exposed, which I'm assuming is a bug because it literally leaves his head, nose, and limbs vulnerable even without...

"not only were top players the only ones who deserved an enjoyable tournament experience, apparently, but they were also allowed to do it on their own time." This is definitely the sense I got while at the tournament. It just didn't seem like it was worth it unless you were like top 20...

I know I'm not well known, but I'll give my two cents on the match-up because its one of my favorites and I think I have it down pretty well atleast conceptually. Marth Dittos are cool because they allow you to play much more aggressively than against other characters because marth has a harder...

thanks so much for responding in depth. It's a big challenge with marth to make the opponent feel pressured just by movement alone because I feel like its a major psychological thing. You have to somehow demand respect from the player or they'll just ignore your movement and go HAM on you. For...

peepee i'd like to hear your opinion on playing marth in an aggressive way. I love the character and have been playing him for 2 years, but I feel like my options are so limited against good spacies/shiek. I don't want to be entirely reliant on my grab or letting them come to me because people...

ive never seen u do it >.>, you can sort of do it with A, but you're not getting even half of the momentum. Regardless its pretty situational but its a frustrating limitation of the game cube controller/melee

pp i think he means going backwards while double-fairing which is literally impossible if you don't use the c-stick

yea as amazing and slick as this game is the control is kind of sub-optimal I feel. I've started to use A a lot more for fast aerials because I feel like going from y to c-stick hurts my hand too much in long sessions. I don't see how x helps anything, but interestingly enough ken doesn't use...

peepee do you not use the c-stick for any of your characters? I noticed in your videos it looks like you never use it for aerials just for smashes. I find it interesting it seems like alot of high level players don't use it much, I'm starting to think it might be a crutch sometimes and slows you...
