In a game that most people complain is too defensive/campy, marth is a breath of fresh air. I feel he's the game's most aggressive character. Properly spaced fairs mean that you should never be shield grabbed. You can constantly pressure someone who is shielding by just spamming fairs. If...

Why shield grab anymore when you can side-b out of shield? The range of the side-b is larger than grab range, and pretty much any side-b combo will do more damage than the throw. Also, side-b while holding up is basically a better version of marth's up throw. Side-b out of shield must be...

Running grab being when you press z to grab while running, dashing shield grab being when you shield while running and then press A. I was always under the impression that the dashing shield grab was faster (just like JC grabs were faster in melee). But now it seems like the running grab...

Snake is a tough matchup. Difficult to get around the ftilt. His dash attack is not easily punished. The only decent part is that once you get snake off the edge, you have a much easier time but it is still difficult when the snake has some mindgames.

Any reasoning behind this sentiment? I thought the general consensus was that defensive play is the way to go? I think the ideal way to play rob is defensive/camp. You stay near an edge and spam laser/gyro, forcing the opposition to approach. Once they do, you spot dodge/downsmash or shield...

Wait for your opponent to make a mistake and then use it. Catch him in a double jump or attack lag or whatever. Usually when I get the final smash I just fight normally for awhile and wait for an opening. You don't have to use it right away.

Wolf's bair. It's amazing.

Just play defensively. I play TL all the time and I have the most trouble against good wolf players. SPAM SPAM that laser. Laser + reflector means you win the projectile game. When TL approaches all you have to do is either fsmash, shield grab, or downsmash out of shield. Just read what the TL...

Play the same person over and over and try to learn their habits. Exploit them.

Space your fairs so he can't shield grab you out of it. Since the fair lasts for such a long time, you can DI in and out of his shield as the fair is occurring (if that makes sense). If he goes for the grab, he'll miss and you can land/punish with a grab of your own, land dsmash, or just fair...

A camping pit is really annoying. Try rolling/jumping into medium range. You will prob be hit because he can curve arrows upwards to hit you while jumping, and also anticipate/punish your rolls by charging the arrows slightly longer and shooting you when your roll finishes. Basically against a...

Use more arrows. And use the ftilt a lot. You can ftilt at the same speed as olimar throws pikmin and the ftilt beats/kills the pikmin. The key really is to use arrows to stop the pikmin when he's far away, and use ftilt as he gets to medium range. Once you kill a few of his pikmn, rush in...

You guys don't understand how patient a true camping wolf can be. HE WILL NEVER APPROACH YOU. You can stand there and take hits and get pushed back and he will move forward as this is happening so you get pushed off the stage. Why does wolf have to approach you? His lasers out range your...

How to beat camping wolves? His lasers force me to approach. Cannot win the projectile game, I try jumping with bombs/arrows but those are either shielded or reflected. For sake of argument lets just say I take a bit of damage from lasers, but I am finally able to approach (this alone is...

To me mindgames begin when you start remembering what you do, how your opponents react, and what your opponents do, and how you react. You'll know when your mindgaming consciously because it's a lot more tiring to think about what your opponent is about to do. Supak's example is great. You...
