we're both making good points based on experienced
Dash Attack pretty much works starting from 20-25 up until 105% on most characters. Before that you should be going for easy low percent combos and after 105% you should be killing, so instead of Bthrowing just Dthrow and Up Air, Up Tilt or Up Smash them.
If your connections are good you should be able to manage some stuff but honestly don't take WiFi lag losses too seriously. The way I see it: If I lost due to lag, shrug it off. If I lost due to being outplayed, I take that to heart and think about how I could fix it for next time.
General guide:
BThrow -> dash attack is not new; I've been doing this since July, and while I don't recall seeing it performed in any early Brawl video (March - June 08), it's been mentioned before in RoK's guide (which came out in the summer).
In my opinion, Wi-fi is good at helping you play smarter and get used to different playstyles. (Heck, I got 3rd in my first Brawl tourney and I had very little prior experience playing offline... but then again there weren't a lot of good players there.) However, you should only play it if that's your only way to find an opponent, since button lag plays an undeniable role in the outcome of a match and severely limits your options in some cases (dealing with Sonic's speed, powershielding Falco's lasers, trying to time BAirs so that they hit right before you land, etc.).
I don't think he meant approaching like to get near his opponent but his approach on how he plays Ike.
gah! you suck last week you said it worked on olimar, I've been getting my *** handed to me because of it. Yagami if your going to test for combos you should check for things on the spacies and shiek since they might fall to fast to actually be able to jump out of a few things.
Er, I said he COULD jump out of it a week ago, sorry. (Proof: http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=6704645&postcount=1840)
sorry brain fart
You might be thinking of jab -> UTilt; I doubt it's a true combo, and it works depending on your opponent's DI (if they DI the jab up then you should go for the UTilt... unless they're expecting it). It can land you some kills at high % if they're expecing you to perform the full jab combo, so even though it's not a true combo, that doesn't mean it's not useful.
guess I miss read then, well I'll stop doing that then and chase him with an aerial.
Honestly, just do it really fast. Takes rhythm and timing. I believe you don't release it right away, but after half a second so you get your full jump in.
K thx... I guess I'm just used to pressing down to release the edge =\ I'll work on it some today at the tourney.. So Thank you for the help =]
OH. There's your problem.
Not always true. I can do both ways perfectly fine. The only difference between the two is that by tapping away from the stage is easier where as you can cover more ground with a vertical ledgehopped QD. IMO I say learn how to use both, and use them according to what the situation may call for it.
I'll somewhat fix that. Just wait for it.
Don't forget Ike's "chaingrab" on Wario.
I should've clarified; it's definitely not too good, but Nidtendofreak was saying how the only new grab release we found was on Squirtle. I was just providing another thing that was found, regardless of how useful it was.
You can still press down, and then press jump right after and do QD. But you should let the full jump effect come in, because if you don't, you'll QD back to hanging on the stage.
No, I said it was the only one I've seen used. >_>
A Pikachu by the name of ESAM. Really nice player. I had the unfortunate accident of suiciding 3 times on my own CP. Either I'm really tired or I should just never play Green Greens ever again.
Yea we both lost to ESAM. This really nice Pikachu.
Lol that fox match reminds me of my tourny yesterday. Lost in the same exact way, third match, winner's bracket. I beat him back in the loser's bracket though. I placed 4th, cause I lost to a gay DDD x_x
Dabuz is a beast. I've played him (Wifi), and he will wreck you. Plus the Oli - Ike match up is really bad.
... Oops, my bad.
