I tend to gravitate towards characters with more intricate projectile games. Link especially, but also ones like Rob, Samus, and Snake. I almost never play the characters with mindless, all-purpose spamfest projectiles like Pit or the Starfox trio, though. (Exception: Ivysaur. Much <3 for...

There are two reasons I don't play with items anymore. 1) Just like everyone else says, they make things too random and I'd rather be winning (or losing) due to my own skill. 2) They homogenize the characters. This is really the bigger issue for me. Link has a ton of versatile...

If people tend to start fighting before the ref is finished dying, then someone who can stay in the air might be good. Sonic running across the stage would obviously interrupt a fight, but with Metaknight, after your first death, you could probably jump off the respawn platform and fly away...

Woah! There were more than two chapters of this? I had no idea. I found an English translation of the e-manga ages ago, but I never realized there were more of them. I guess my afternoon just filled up. This manga is generally considered to be canon, too. Or at least the first two...

I swear, we need a freaking sticky dealing with this. I think something like 60% of all threads in this section get derailed by this debate sooner or later. 1) Ivysaur has a really feminine voice in the Japanese version of the game. A lot of us played that before the U.S. version came out...

Most of the hint does sound incredibly Linky, but I'm very wary about the "stops campers from camping" bit. Against characters with fast, simple projectiles, Link's projectile game is usually the one that gets shut down in my experience. Pulling out a bomb, throwing the boomerang, and charging...

I have a problem with that too. I pretty much never use the jab unless it's an accident because of it...the forward tilt seems way better in pretty much every situation. The most important thing is to not try to attack again until it stops. If you stop hitting A and then use the C-stick to...

The good news is that fatigue doesn't affect Razor Leaf itself in the slightest. It does the exact same amount of damage no matter how tired you are. As does Bullet Seed, for that matter (well, the initial pulse that hits next to you loses like 2%, but who cares). If the matchup allows...

Never underestimate those Waddle Dees. They do know how to take the initiative every once in a while. A long time back, I remember watching a match between Dedede and someone else (I can't recall who the second character was). The guy was up to like 170% on his last stock, but the Dedede...

It's my understanding that a lot of the jump-cancelling mechanics from Melee (jump-cancelled grabs are the only one I can remember off the top of my head) don't apply anymore, which suggests that they tried to take out jump cancelling in general. But there was no way to get rid of...

I do it with tap jump off with a Gamecube controller and it's not difficult at all. You basically just have to hit X (or Y) simultaneously with A and it works fine.

I'm not normally a huge fan of yellow, but Construction Vehicle R.O.B. is the one I always play as.

Yeah, Ness's backthrow is an automatic KO at 130, not zero. You have to actually, you know, earn the 130% by fighting for it. And Dedede's forward smash doesn't go off in a tiny fraction of a second and penetrate shields, does it? It's pretty rare to actually be able to land the forward...

I'm sure I'm just going to get myself chewed out for disagreeing with the great and powerful Yuna, but I'm going for it anyway because I'd like to understand this perspective better. I've never understood why stuff like this shouldn't be banned. And by "stuff like this", I mean grab...

Link's forward smash does NOT cut through the tornado. Not the first hit, anyway. I was playing (well, losing) against a Meta Knight recently who kept tormenting me mercilessly with the tornado. Finally, there came a point where he started too far away from me and I could actually get an...
