    I suggest we call the rage-fueled low percent kill up-b the "shinespark".

    Vindicated! Seriously, "Shinespark" was always the catchiest name for this jank. Beyond my region specifically, I've seen it pop up from time to time in discussions, but ZeRo using the name just feels... good. I'm glad its caught on, because its way more fun to say than anything else. Thank...

    Data Samus Match-Up Discussion Thread 2.0

    So I've managed to climb to the 20th rank in my state, started feeling pretty good about myself if I can say so. However, I've come to find myself a bracket demon in Metaknight, whom I'm having an incredibly hard time dealing with. I can play the neutral perfectly for 9/10 interactions, but a...

    Its amazing the things that can be said with 10 letters or less. Some peeps just need to learn to hold that L. :happysheep: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    I suggest we call the rage-fueled low percent kill up-b the "shinespark".

    Not really a serious post, but its fun having little canon inspired names for janky things. I've been calling it that for awhile now, and most people seem to understand what I mean when I say it. It's easier and more fun to say to people rather than always saying "Ya, that was just a rage...

    Project Phoenix: The back-pocket alternative

    Not enough of a size difference between this and a Wii for me to care about having one personally, but cool none the less.

    Ok so I need some genuine advice here. I took a loss yesterday that kept me out of the top 32 of a 120+ player tournament yesterday, in an MU that I'm still trying to figure out. This loss was to a Kirby, and incredibly common character in my region. I've been struggling with this MU for...

    Bidou Tech!

    -_ellipsis_- That implementation seems very practical, and the shield dropping discovery of yours is incredible!

    Bidou Tech!

    After having messed with this a bit, I'm really liking how well it synergizes with jab1 and f-tilt spacing. That alone seems useful enough to bother experimenting further. Other than that though I'm struggling to see what other practical uses it may have for Samus beyond making PP CS punishes...

    Bidou Tech!

    Basically it creates more control over your character. My question is, does the Samus community specifically see this as useful for her and if so what kind of possibilities could this open up?

    Did it get useful though? I'm still struggling to find a realistic application for it in a match.

    Messed up my dirty bomb punish, I was so close to having one on stream. Dang. This is one of my prouder moments on stream. Admittedly the play looks a bit sloppy here, and I have room to clean up for sure, but Tink has been my tournament bane forever. This was my attempt at "true" spacing...

    Patch 1.1.5

    I think my favorite thing out of this whole patch is that it makes hip-checking a viable option for Samus again. The old hitbox left us to vulnerable on shield and even if we hit it was to weak for any set ups anyway (also being punishable on hit half the time regardless didn't help). Now we...

    Oh yea I know how that goes, that game is on my "Best Games Ever" list, dropped 200+ hours in it...

    Oh yea I know how that goes, that game is on my "Best Games Ever" list, dropped 200+ hours in it already.

    So I'm going to start with a good match, because I was really feeling myself here. The Mewtwo player was seeded higher than me at this particular tournament and i wanted to show the TO why that was a mistake. Buuuuuuuuut... 27. Ok, hear me out. We have a Ganondorf who has been dominating...
