Does the difficulty of mashing out of DKs cargo grab change with percentage or is it constant?

 

[rjgbadger]

dks cargo throw is constant with percent. just mash a then b while going left and right with the stick very quickly

 

[Battlecow]

It gets harder as percent increases.

I believe antdgar actually has some statistics on how much harder.

 

[rjgbadger]

where are these regional crews? if not active I think its a great thing to do to increase scene activity online. ranked crews on top of having a online ladder power rankings

 

[Battlecow]

regional crews are just guys who live near you. And you play with each other and at big tourneys you root for each other.

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?

(sorry for bringing up old topics. but best way to see that your DI is actually doing something: have a friend use a fireflower, hold a. then the person walks into the fire (DI towards the flower). if you DI, you should see your char move towards/away from the fire.)

I've often heard that luigi is much worse than mario and I accept this but I don't understand why. Please don't just say "luigi can't approach" or "his fireballs are bad". I'm looking for a more in depth explanation of how the same moves don't work as well with luigi. I understand his fireballs aren't as versatile as mario's but they are still useful. I don't see why luigi can't pull off the same tricks like d-air to u-air.

Basically I'm looking for an explanation of how luigi's version of the same moves are worse than marios.

from the index

A: Simple answer? They aren't the same. Mario has better horizontal air speed, contributing to a better approach. His short hop is low enough to make all of his aerials effective when used at the peak, and therefore the Mario brothers' short hop double aerial is more effective with him. His recovery is also far better - he can use the tornado from afar to get height, then send a screen of fireballs down. Luigi's fireballs are markedly inferior, being slow and of an inferior trajectory. Mario's Up-B is far superior for recovery, giving a disjointed, constant hitbox and decent hitstun at the end, so even if you land on the stage it's not incredibly punishable (if the opponent is at high percents). Luigi's Up-B cannot be used to hit the opponent in recovery. While it's true that Luigi's zero-death combos are far easier to finish once they've started, Mario has plenty going for him that Luigi can only dream of, and as such he is simply a better character overall.

 

[Yobolight]

I think one of the main reasons Luigi is bad is that he sucks when he is above people, and due to his jump height, floatiness, and lack of aerial mobility he spends a lot of time above people.

Sorry for not looking in the index, I had a feeling this had been discussed already somewhere.
Thanks for the help

[asianaussie]

i have a feeling olikus just sits in bed all day watching cartoons from the late 90s

 

[bloodpeach]

Yeah. I didn't think anyone was going recognize it; I guess there's a lot more Powerpuff love here than I thought.

And theres nothing wrong with watching 90s cartoons all day.

 

[Sedda]

Does anyone want to help me get better throughout the summer? I have a lot of free time and I can start playing online next week when my adapter gets here

 

[Battlecow]

I got a pretty flexy schedule starting mid-june, if you wanna be a cool kid and schedule "lessons" or training sessions or whatever I could commit to a little of that

no promises about throughout the summer tho I might do it for 2 weeks and then wuss out

 

[bloodpeach]

Battlecow, are you gonna be in Champaign (and have time for some games) either in late May or July?

 

[Han Solo]

Bloodpeach, you're in Urbana? Dude, smashfest at my place today (5/9/2013). I'll PM you.

 

[Battlecow]

I get home from college mid-june, I'll be in champaign until like october

so yeah july works hit me up

also Han and the crew are there during the U of I's run, at least for this year

[Han Solo]

Lol, I actually know "bloodpeach". I just didn't know he had a smashboards account.

Sorry to disappoint

I read mostly comics. But I like cartoons as well =)

 

[Sedda]

Thaanks, Battlecow. I'm not expecting much at all so no worries. I just want to play with someone who's going to destroy me and then be able to tell me how that happened.

 

[The Star King]

I'd be down if you end up playing me. I'll also do any MU/stage on request (I am fairly proficient with all chars).

Who is your worst char?

 

[The Star King]

Luigi.

 

[Olikus]

that explains it.

 

[Sedda]

Thanks guys

 

[Sangoku]

I want someone helping me getting better throughout the summer too

 

[Battlecow]

hit me uppppp

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Anyone want to train me for a little right now?

 

[King Omega]

I've always been confused about what "training" someone in Smash means. How do you do that?

 

[Sangoku]

You **** him several times in a given matchup, then you tell him what he did wrong. Then you replay the matchup and he tries to implement what you told him. And so on.

Or he picks Ness/Yoshi and you shield the first DJC attack, then he breaks it (infinite time is good for this).

 

[mixa]

About the invincibility frames: they last a good amount of time when you edgehog (thanks Sangoku for saying Glide plugin displays them), but why is it that sometimes when you grab the ledge, you almost immediatelly get hit? Am I edgehopping without realizing it... ?

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I don't use a keyboard so I could be wrong about this.

Are pivot utilts on keyboard super easy (pretty much pivot jabs on controller) because you can keep 'up' buffered the whole time?

 

[asianaussie]

when you get used to buffering up all the time, they are fairly easy

Yeah I would guess you let go of the edge, invincibility goes away instantly if you do so
