Personally, I think it's a good idea to force your opponent to mix-up their playstyle, so I try to pick secondaries with that in mind. I'd say right now, my strongest secondary to Capt Falcon is Villager. They play so differently it's insane. As Falcon I'm aggressive and wavedashy nearly all...

Please let it be noted that I am making this thread not for the purpose of getting free wins in For Glory or trolling people online, but for educational purposes. I personally feel that this strategy should be nerfed or patched out since there is essentially no counter-play once it gets going...

Hey guys. I don't normally use the c-stick, but I've been trying to get better at using it for the purpose of playing Falcon. My personal reasoning behind this is that using c-stick sometimes makes certain things a little easier, such as using his down-air to spike people without accidentally...

I've written about lag and the online smash experience at length, but I want to hear how you guys feel when faced with adversity in the form of an unstoppable opponent. By which, I of course mean high-latency between players. I used to get pretty salty about it, but I've kind of accepted at...

I had the privilege of fighting a very skilled Mario player with no lag on For Glory for around an hour earlier today. It really opened my eyes to how powerful Mario is against certain opponents. For example, I play a lot of Shulk, but my Shulk was so bad against him. His attacks have crazy...

I need to try it against humans, but I think you're right about Dthrow -> fair >fair. The first string alone does 24%. Dthrow -> Dair is still definitely good tech to know just for the edge-guarding potential, for sure. This is a noob question, but is it "safe" to reset the opponent with a...

As you might know, Luigi's cyclone can be used as a means of recovery. However, it's mostly useless for this unless you jump immediately before using it. Ideally, when recovering you want to mash the B button as much as possible to get more lift. Assuming you use a gamecube controller, most...

I've been practicing this on the AI for about half an hour. It definitely does work, and against a human the mix-up potential seems amazing, but I'm a little skeptical of how applicable this would be in a real game. Dthrow -> Nair does 18% without pummels, and it's very easy to land...

Thanks for the link to slingshotting, I hadn't heard of that tech until now. It looks crazy useful, I'll definitely be trying it out when I get a chance to practice. I like that there's actually a reason now to do the slow "turning backwards" animation instead of shield-stopping every time.

Please correct me if someone has already discovered this, but you know how TL can jump-cancel his bomb toss animation while dashing to make it a bit faster? Well I discovered by accident earlier today that if you immediately dash and hit A you can catch the bomb again while doing a standard dash...

kirby, jiggly, and pikachu. Anything that can crouch to avoid lasers basically. They can be very painful matchups since you're forced to engage so often. Kirby and Jiggly can just zone you out forever if they want.

Honestly? He reminds me a lot of Rumble from League of Legends, who was my favorite character right after pre-nerf Skarner. Rumble's playstyle revolves around him juggling his abilities and cooldowns just enough to get bonus effects, but not enough to overheat him. It's pretty demanding trying...

Not sure if this is a troll thread but yeah, Fox's recovery is one of the best in the game. You shouldn't ever get killed as Fox because you couldn't make it to the edge, the only time this really happens is if you get Falcon knee'd away during recovery or something. He also has a walljump...

Hey guys, I feel like I'm "stuck" when it comes to matchups like Sheik. I can't approach her horizontally because she spams needles and runs away when I get close. If I jump at her and do Nair or Fair, she just turtles with shield and punishes with grab. I had a long time to fight this Sheik so...

I'm not an Ike main, but it seems like vs Shiek he's at a severe disadvantage. His attacks do around triple the damage of Shieks, but he has no way of punishing most of her attacks out of shield since she's so fast, which makes it really hard to win with a defensive playstyle. And that's not...
