Haha, customs are pretty silly.

Agreed that five minute timer is duuuuumb, but everyone is practicing for EVO.

Came here since b01 mentioned it and saw this.

I lost to a Shulk match 1 in my last tourney as Pikachu. Power Vision was absurd. So I switched to DK and got 2 Storm Punches across 2 matches for the win. Windboxes yeaaaaah!

Wind boxes are dumb

Mario has Water Boxes tho.

Super Mario Sunshine is one of the best games ever, so you can't fault Mario for his waterbox.

Also, HM, I'm beginning to miss FLUDD even though Scalding FLUDD is so awesome. FLUDD gives random positional advantages in so many matchups, and in this game, position is everything.

Let him watch my tourney stream. Let him watch the result of my legit amazing coaching abilities

Solid, I'm one of the first Brawl Marios to look for those positional advantages and I love it even more in this game, but it's hard to justify it when you have the raw power of the customs. There's always default tournies though.

Berserker, your coaching is the reason why we should ban it!

What do you guys think of Trip Sapling?

Trip Sapling makes aerial stats really important because it's basically Frame Trap city. The optimal method though is to get the lead early and never approach it, and force Villager to play your game. In the end, I think Villagers will prefer default Timber once people figure it out.

I've been shamelessly abusing this and DK's up-b against mid-level players in tourney. The thing is, I would (probably) have beaten those players anyway. When I go against a high-level or top-level player, these strategies don't work out that well. I have to actually know those characters to win, or use characters that I do know.

IMO, It's seriously just a matter of knowledge and a test of mental endurance. I already made a write-up on how to beat this and I've personally seen MegaFox wreck customs Villager. I've yet to fight Customs DK (though that may change after today!), but these are all just new things that just take a week or so to be fully countered.
