With the advent of rollback netcode for SDR, we have an unprecedented opportunity to play and compete at this great mod we all love. I'm hosting an SD Remix online tournament on the 12th of September. https://smash.gg/tournament/rollback-remix Get in here and compete with your favorite...

Teams is the only form of Melee worth your time.

Try attacking diagonally with FC aerials too. But hey approaches are limited. You basically named everything. OoS you can sh nair (which is faster than FC nair), z drop a turnip, up-b, roll, full hop, Watching videos is a good way to pick up new options you haven't considered.

Wavedashing has 4 properties that make it useful: You can move backward while facing forward. You can move anytime you are able to jump. The most notable example is out of shield, where you "normally" can't move, but another example is during a run. You can quickly alter your momentum from...

You can only pass through a platform while in Fall or SpecialFall (and maybe some other obscure animations). In other words, not during aerial animations. You have to start the aerial after you pass through the platform.

Try remaking the iso. It's probably just some random bug.

You can use spot dodge after a DSDI tech to prevent yourself from falling off the stage. It keeps you on stage longer giving more time for friction to slow you down. Here is what it looks like. Notice that Falco's velocity at the end of the tech roll was 2.82 and after the spot dodge was 1.06...

There are a bunch of resources listed in the Melee Library that explain it. Basically, when you are shielding, there are 3 Y values that roughly line up with the diagonal notches that cause you to drop.

It can happen with any character.

Not exactly? I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but one has to be very careful with the way they word these things. Shifts to your base position do occur during and between action states, but all such shifts are equivalent to movement. I emphasize this because, for example, people misunderstand...
