    Dthrow - reacting to DI

    I’m curious as to what are the flow charts when reading the opponent’s DI against a dthrow. Obviously, things like opponent weight, fall speed, damage, and your rage can factor in. Towards falcon: nair / uair / knee Up-away: dash attack? nair, or react to opponent being airborne? Down-away...

    Fighting against this character

    Usually when someone says "broken", it means they are super unbalanced and powerful. Like using Akuma in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo is broken. Hero is definitely not broken in Smash Ultimate. He's just not good.

    Fighting against this character

    I played against a few heroes with Lucina over the weekend on Battlefield-type stages over quickplay. They all had issues against utilt and aerials when they were in disadvantage. TBH, they were pretty much SOL when they were in disadvantaged state. Whenever they bring up their command menu...

    Fighting against this character

    I would consider my top 3 characters at the moment are Lucina / Palutena / Joker. With that being said, I usually pick up other characters to understand their frame data and feel for the game. So after playing Erdrick / Loto on Quickplay and against coworkers, I can say it's a super uphill...

    Is it just harder to play online than locally?

    I'm going to guess Steelmullet had one switch create an arena and the other switch joined it. Other switch is either his friend's or his within the same LAN / wifi but on a different tv / docking station.

    Frustration with Marth.

    I felt Smash 4 was the turning point for me. It was pretty unreliable to get that tipper range compared to melee since we had combos and good methods to be in position. Granted that I'm more casual than in the past but having an easier character where you don't need to be within pixel perfect...

    Is it just harder to play online than locally?

    My speed test (on my laptop with wifi) gives me 300-400+ mbps yet the switch speed test with a lan adapter dongle gives me 60mbps. I'm on Comcast paying $80/month for gigabit and never seem to get it's full potential. If laptop on wired dongle, well let's say I'm wow'ed by it. Just want to...

    Fellow Lucina mains, what characters give you the most trouble to beat?

    My current hard match-ups: 1. Snake (I started another thread asking for questions) 2. Characters I have no clue of their moveset like Inklings and Mii's. I guess that can be said for anyone since the Hollywood GI Joe Movie says "Knowledge is half the battle". Basically, I don't know how much...

    Tips against Snake?

    Haha sometimes I cannot control the stage selection when playing Quickplay online. For the most part, it's either Battlefield or FD. Thanks for the headband trick as that'll come in handy. I'm currently at 3.75M in GSP so I've been playing smarter Snakes. The earlier iteration were much...

    Tips against Snake?

    It depends on the snake player. Played a bunch in a row online. The variants are: 1. Nikita 2. Dash attack 3. Trolling me by doing mortar all day cuz he’s up a stock and I fall for it. A properly spaced dtilt or shield breaker will work though right? I can try OoS next time. I haven’t seen...

    Tips against Snake?

    Snake's usmash (mortar) seems to give me the most trouble. When he launches them consecutively, I have no clue on what to do? Would one of these options be viable: 1) Properly timed fsmash 2) Throw and time it correctly so I don't get hit by the falling explosive 3) Shield Breaker at the...

    A Dissertation on Snake's Dash Attack and Mortar Slide

    Is it easier using the A button or the C-stick?

    No tripping with Action Replay

    Yea it would suck if Ken was leading 0% to Azen at 100% and the trip causes Ken to lose. My earlier post was included for humor. I know I cannot beat them but if for some strange act of God that Ken trips 4 times to allow me to smash him, then I'd say that I'm one lucky mofo. If all of the...
