Unless you know they can't reach a platform, I would fthrow or dthrow tech chase to at least 20-30% before attempting to uthrow. The earliest double stick DI stops working is close to 30% and up to 50% depending on where you make contact. Any good player shouldn't have a problem doing this and...

In the current meta it's not so much that Dreamland is bad for Marth; more that other stages are better. I like it for the ditto for the same reasons @Leeroythuggin said, but against everyone else, either the opponent's advantages will outweigh yours, or any given advantage you have would be...

@Kadano Is there a capacitor mod that will result in more reliable smash turns? A friend of mine seems to think he's seen you mention this in the past, but I haven't been able to find it; just your posts on capacitor mods to fix snapback.

I practice on level 3 CPU, seems to do everything DI-wise and mixes it up pretty well. Downside is it doesn't jump out of hitstun, being vanilla, so you have to keep in mind and recognize when a follow up was probably too late. If you can, get your hands on a 20XXTE v2b memory card. DI is the...

Up throw -> utilt actually isn't guaranteed at any percent. Details in Kadano's thread. To op, there's a ton of fthrow stuff you can abuse at lower levels where the opponent might not know to DI down and away. Fthrow -> regrab up to 20-25%, fthrow -> fsmash are the most obvious, but there's...

I wouldn't pursue this. There are several far more reliable ways for setting up a tipper at 60-90% than dancing blade. The only time you should ever go past the first hit is occasionally for a mixup (ie you use the first hit to stuff Falcon's nair and Falcon expects a follow up grab). Don't take...

I agree with the above two posts, although I wouldn't do it for too long. When I was starting and had this problem, I decided I wasn't going to fsmash at all for two weeks; it certainly helped, but then I found myself with the problem of not fsmashing enough (not doing so in guaranteed...

Not trying to be a ****, but in addition to taking the great advice given here, lose the idea that you're "mid highish level" if you're losing to what you described. You'll improve faster and have a better mental outlook if you avoid deluding yourself into believing you're better than you really...

Has anyone used the Tendak Wii to HDMI converter? I want to give it a try, but it doesn't specifically mention low latency like the Sewell does. https://www.amazon.com/Tendak-Wii-Upscaling-Converter-Adapter-Nintendo/dp/B0185ISO6K?ie=UTF8&ref_=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top

At present Marth is considered to have an even matchup against Fox (and Falco) in general. He has a decidedly bad matchup against Sheik, and Falcon and Puff are iffy as to whether they're even or in one or the other's favor. He also has trouble, arguably losing, to several non-high tiers, most...

Someone more knowledgeable please correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't think of a situation in which you'd want the weak hitbox on stage (you'd never want it off-stage, obviously) that has a result that couldn't be achieved with something more reliable. However, it would be beneficial to...

So much myth and false information in this thread, as it tends to go whenever this topic comes up in our community. The only truth is that while general types of monitors tend to have more display lag than others (LCD's), all monitors are different, and you can't really know for sure without...

Most of these replies seem to be from an "entertaining to watch" standpoint, and I also enjoy watching all of the players named. However, as far as those to watch and learn from, I'd keep it to: 1. PPMD 2. Pew Pew U 3. M2K (with a grain of salt; his punish game is the gold standard, but his...

I have a huge problem tensing up my hands while playing. I've been playing for about six months and my tech skill and execution is pretty good in practice (although the problem is present there too to some degree), but when playing real games I lose to people I feel I shouldn't due to constant...
