Um, I can't up smash OOS on emulator. It just shield grabs, any ideas?
I'm using a raphnet. Could it be my plugin settings?

Who's got some sweet plugin settings for a raphnet?
I'd prefer Hori setting but could play on a regular controller too..

if you have the old version of the raphnet adapter, that may be the reason. i bought one and found that i couldn't perform effective dash dances on n64 or gc controllers; boom experienced this as well, we bought around the same time.
we both complained, he fixed it and sent us new ones that now work fine

another potential fix would be recalibrating your controller

fast recalibrate screen for windows xp/vista/7/8: hold windows key then press R, type in "joy.cpl" w/o quotes then press enter/return

http://www.mediafire.com/?5gcfh3mky36s61g this is the double-click version of what was just stated above (calibrate screen), all you do is double click this and it will bring up the controller calibration screen

why do i DS so often? i have good internet and a direct connection, but at best i get 3 games before i have to DS. Any ideas or help would be very apprecited.

Breakthrough(if any of you know him) helped me trouble shoot a little and he helped me enough so i can actually get trough a game, but its still not a fix. please help my nooby a$$ out as i really enjoy playing online.

 

[Sangoku]

Don't play in fullscreen. Other than that I don't kmow. Try reading JaimeHR's thread about ds (link in the index under useful thread section).

Can anyone give me some tips on how to combo with Fox? It seems to be ridiculously hard to get more than like 2 or 3 hits.

 

[KnitePhox]

use uptilt and upair for vertical

use fair and nair for horizontal

I can't find that thread. Could you post a link if possible?

Come on it's not so difficult to look at the index...

 

[prisonchild]

when you are on hyrule and you hit your opponent while they are in the tornado, does it influence the knockback or does it just add damage?

 

[asianaussie]

i would presume it does both, since damage at time of launch is probably linked to knockback

it doesn't make a huge deal of sense if knockback is determined before the actual upwards hit (ie when the tornado itself does its damage)

 

[Tom Bombadil]

My friend and I are trying to practice DI. Does anyone have a method they really enjoy for this? I was planning on going with the obvious Samus upB Jiggly dair stuff and just trying to get out. I've also seen a Link dtilt Luigi as the Luigi upB recovers so that he can practice ledge DI.

Any secret training regimens?

 

[Cobrevolution]

i think it'd get real boring real quick to actually sit and practice di, wouldn't it? i always just played games and di'd as best i could in any situation. every game i play i work on something in the middle of it - trying to perfect pivots with falcon or di'ing to get over the ledge to avoid a spike. i also tend to try to di almost every moderate to strong hit. shrug.

something di specific though - how do i rock the nintendude di? that's on my to-do list.

 

[Battlecow]

yeah practice DI in matches

except maybe like samus DI or whatever I used to do that for like an hour with miyagi to get it down

 

[Cobrevolution]

you mean escaping the upb?

 

[Tom Bombadil]

i think it'd get real boring real quick to actually sit and practice di, wouldn't it?

Actually I'm not at all opposed to getting on my grind.

something di specific though - how do i rock the nintendude di? that's on my to-do list.

I'd be interested in this too.

Also, I forgot to ask, is there a community consensus on most favorable DI technique (smash, slide, ****, other) ?

 

[clubbadubba]

**** is a technique used to perform Slide DI. Its probably the easiest thing to learn. I'm pretty sure some freaks of nature with super fast-twitch fingers can get better DI without it though.

 

[Sangoku]

**** has the disadvantage of being a bit longer to initiate and longer to go back in place. I don't like it also because I can't spam z in case I touch the groud/platform before the end of the combo. I find it confortable enough to slide right with the thumb. But I **** to DI left. It's really a matter of personal preference anyway.

 

[clubbadubba]

I mash the ****- i mean z button all the time while ****ing

 

[B-Town]

What's a good way to break a habit like rolling?

 

[KnitePhox]

shock therapy

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Play falcon and pivot instead

 

[Sangoku]

There's no "good way". Just force yourself not to roll. It shouldn't be difficult/take too long.

That's why you should join the tech-with-R master race ;P

What's a good way to break a habit like rolling?

Go into a friendly consciously thinking to yourself "I WILL not roll ". And try to consciously resist the temptation, and be like "dafuq dude" to yourself every time you do it. It'll go away in no time.

 

[Sangoku]

Shaking the controller and mashing R with the same hand sounds hard. I'll give it a shot though, thanks.

 

[The Star King]

I don't mash, I press once every time I could possibly land

 

[mixa]

I've seen people say that playing with other characters will help you improve you game/'main' character.
I've also heard about writers who will imitate another writer.

And I've been thinking that, even though I can use mindgames, my game is a bit dumb and I'd benefit from trying to be a copy cat of someone's, say, Fox.

Whatchu guys think about this?

 

[Sangoku]

I don't mash, I press once every time I could possibly land

Sounds even harder, but I'll try.

 

[clubbadubba]

Why can't you hit the z button while ****ing? Your left hand really shouldn't have to move, your right hand is doing all the work

 

[Sangoku]

Yeah it shouldn't move. That's why it's harder to catch the moving z trigger lol. Also I don't hold the controller with the left hand while ****ing as tightly as I do when playing. Again, to let everything move.

 

[Battlecow]

copying other people's **** is legit

I mean innovation is cool and you should know how to do that but the whole point of having a competitive community is that you don't have to build a metagame from the ground up

 

[mixa]

I meant as an exercise. I'd never want to reinvent the (falcon) wheel. You'd have be real scrubbed in the head to have problems with copying moves and combos.

I want to pick someone who plays defensively.

 

[clubbadubba]

copy jaime. He's not crazy technical so he's very mimicable.

 

[rjgbadger]

i dont think i understand clans? first: what is a smash clan? do they meet up on a skype group/FB group? generally ppl i play from a clan and they are better than most of the scrubs that seem to be almost exclusively(80%) on kailera. how do i join one/find better opponents? nothing is worse than wasting hours of matches of people I can't improve against.

 

[Cobrevolution]

clans exist? i thought it was just crews

aoe's clans were, everyone changed their name - Heaven clan, FiNaL, LiFe, etc - and you played with your clan mates in team games/held tourneys/etc. don't know how that would work in smash though, with teams only being able to have two people

 

[rjgbadger]

i have seen iXi, pbs(weird chars) and SCG(weird chars).others too but i dont remember

 

[KnitePhox]

there's plenty of clans

as for now they exist solely for asthetics IMO

 

[NovaSmash]

There used to be a nice amount of clans now there's only 2 or 3. The old ones were: MC (isai's clan) PPS (boomfan's clan), NBK, SG, PT, V clan, LOS and a few others. A few clans did do clan battles with each other but I suppose the main purpose was just to have a group of friends with similar skill to play with.

 

[rjgbadger]

that's exactly what I want. a group of people where I am bit below average, and I can improve rapidly, coach others, and compete with other crews.

 

[Battlecow]

clans were never thaaaaaat big

it seemed like a good idea so people tried it

IDK we have regional crews now which are better

 

[Tom Bombadil]

If Link has a bomb out and gets hit by an attack, what causes him to drop it? Is it just random like Kirby's stolen B move?
