    What's your biggest tournament upset match win?

    I don't mean in terms of placement in the tournament, but rather what's the biggest name you've taken a set from in tournament play that you were by far the underdog going into? Not friendlies, and preferably live as opposed to online tournaments. But if you've only got online, then still feel...

    [Source Gaming] Sakurai On: Balancing Smash

    Yeah that was patched a long time ago in 1.1.0 at the end of July 2015. The only pacman jank left is his generic fruit and hydrant play :p

    [Source Gaming] Sakurai On: Balancing Smash

    I'm curious as to how you arrived at finishing this post with being upset with Pacman. I'm not upset as pac-main that you mentioned him specifically, but I'm wondering how you arrived at throwing pacman in with HOO HAA. Getting to the overall topic though. I do like how in today's world, a...

    Smash @ The Cave: Wii U Doubles :: 2/12/2016 1st of 6 (******Pacman + Pacman*******) : http://thecavessb.challonge.com/xjxp3ki7 The other Pacman was Zage and my god Pacman + Pacman teammates is pure mayhem. But we for the most part walloped the #1 player in our region and his teammate. Just...

    How to get frame data on your own

    Is there any special software or tools that people use to get frame data? I was going to start looking into a few things and the only thing I have is my phone's stopwatch which I know is not the ideal and accurate tool.

    What are the exact specifications for Pac-Man's super armor?

    The super armor is just another thing that tend to look at as "Oh once I get that power pellet, I've got super armor and I'm almost untouchable" but I know that's of course not how it works. Is it super armor for X amount of frames? Does it matter how big the hitbox of whatever attack someone...

    Two Stocks vs Three Stocks: Global Poll Results!

    3 stock 8 minute matches in Smash 4 will certainly see more matches go to time. As a Pac-Man main, matches can take a bit longer than characters that are built for more hand-to-hand combat and can get kills quicker. In the 2 stock 6 minute format, I've gone to time only 3 times in tournament and...

    Pac-Man Tournament Results Thread

    5 is my favorite number this holiday season in my tournaments on Long Island. Did not come across Sinji at any events though. Just a bit too far east for you I guess. 5th of 31 : Smash 4 Singles For Glory 12/17 5th of 26: Sm4shburger 4 11/23 5th of 26: Sm4shburger 6 12/21

    Video & Critique Thread

    Please disregard the last 30 seconds of this match for reasons you will see xD Things I know off the bat: 1) The grabs, I'm trying to cut back. 2) Didn't utilize trampoline as well as I could have. 3) I show a lot of impatient play. I did work on all 3 of these things in a couple of recent...

    Options after throwing down a hydrant from a great height?

    When we do a full jump or double jump and thrown down a hydrant, those initial frames after are a big "Here I am! Hit me!" sign for most good players. I would get into such a rhythm of air dodging as I'm falling because what else am I going to do? I don't know why I never really thought about...

    Weird cherry to hydrant effect

    I'm not sure if I see much potential here. 1) If we are to assume your opponent is to your left as the gif shows, the water will be pushing you towards your opponent before the hydrant gets there. 2) If your opponent is dropping down from above you, it's faster and offers more protection to...

    Galaga up throw physics

    I'm in "the lab" as they say for really my first time ever in the 7 months I've had this game. Kind of makes me wonder how I've done as well at some events as I have since I've basically just yolo'd every time I play a tournament lol. Anyway, when I was playing friendlies with Zage at Xanadu...

    Smashboards Podcast Episode 4: Super Smash Con!

    At Smash Con, I had a couple of opponents say "You wanna just go to Smashville?" I said no and we did rock paper scissors to strike. My opponent was Sheik btw and I ended up winning when the counter pick was Smashville. Also, I was on a TV with someone and we couldn't play because a wireless...

    Side B recovery after crashing into wall...?

    Well what I'm saying is hitting the corner of the edge causes the "you are screwed" animation and hitting the general underside of the stage results in a "oh you're fine" animation. Why it is specific to the corner of the edge, idk.
