    Are the newer controllers problematic for Melee?

    I don't find the Smash 4 controllers to be bad. I don't miss any wavedashes I wouldn't miss with my OG controllers and back dash is pretty consistent with old ones too. The only problem I have is it reverses 100% of aerial specials out of a dash (eg: dash shorthop needles) for some reason. I...

    Creating the Ultimate Character

    I think Luigi nair is a good choice. It's a combo breaker, combos into other stuff including itself, and becomes a fantastic KO option when your opponent is being annoying and living way beyond normal %.

    Path to your main

    I came from Smash 4 mid-late 2015 and started playing my main, Link straight away. He felt completely different to his later incarnation and I didn't like the differences, especially the stricter emphasis on movement. After a few weeks I got used to it, but still didn't like how he played in...

    What is a Melee skill you just learned?

    Jump Canceled and Boost grabs.

    How do you like to recover?

    One of my favourite recovery methods is to double jump and attempt an aerial on a ledge grabbing opponent. Depending on what I think they'll try and do when the ledge is free, I'll either Vanish directly to the ledge, or try and air dodge onto the stage. If my options are super limited, Vanish...

    could sheik be overrated?

    I think she's overrated but not by much. NTSC Sheik's grab game is solid and helps make up for her short hop, aerial drift and DD range weakness. Once other top players come to understand the matchup vs. her to the extent Armada has shown we may see a slight drop on the tier list, but any more...

    Is it true that Dr. Mario can chaingrab spacies 0-death? How do I do this?

    I've been trying to learn this so I can teach a friend developing his doc against Spacies. From what I've experimented with so far, Up throw is better to initiate CGs at low %. On no DI/DI in you need to turn around/pivot/dash back to get the regrab (same goes for Down throw). On mid-higher % is...

    Viability of Bombs

    From what I've seen playing against a bomb-heavy player, it's an excellent way to open up players who don't mix up their approaches, or even just control space/deny an upcoming attempt to get in. That's my 2 cents from the Ganon side of the MU and what I spectate in games vs. Spacies anyway.

    Q&A The Official Technical Issues Q&A thread (TV's, Controllers, gamecubes, etc)

    Where would be a good place to look for Controller Parts in Aus? I have a really good broken in controller with a dead spring on the A button I want to replace.

    What fo you think fox's matchup spread is?

    I don't think the Sheik MU is quite that far skewed just yet. Bair is a strong tool against approaching Spacies and she's a solid edgeguarder too. I'd say roughly 55/45.

    Character with best punish game?

    Being near a ledge against Spacies/Marth doesn't tend to go down well. PAL or NTSC.

    When and how to use down smash

    I've been looking at other threads too, this is the only reply so far I felt has been completely necessary.
