Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core.

Although I haven't gotten to play SF4 yet. Looking at the tier list and peoples' comments, though, it doesn't seem like it's as balanced as GG.

 

[ZHMT]

Im going to cry because I dont have sf4.

 

[Odigo]

I definitely think GG is one of the most balanced. I'm not sure about SF though, at least maybe not 4. Needs some more time. I've heard complaints. But people are stupid.

Trade in your wii and brawl. It's worth it.

what's marth's worse matchup?

probably snake and/or mk.

questions : what exactly is planking?

related to marth but not to smash marth >.> : how good is the new Fire emblem game based on marth?

 

[Schwaumlaut]

Planking is ledge stalling for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

Shadow Dragon is pretty awesome. Easier than Path of Radiance, though. Marth and his legion of little girls on flying ponies just slaughter the dragon-born of Doluna.

The only map I had serious trouble with was The Wooden Cavalry, and that was because I wasn't willing to let people die in my glorious conquests.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awI8Zz1EIE8 = Planking to an extreme extent. This is the classic example, hence it's name.

I'm getting the new FE today ^_^.

Peggies sucks in that game. Make Sheeda become a mage early on is way better (loltierqueersforFE).

Eh, I like TvC but despite all the hype it seems to be a pretty niche game. =/

Plus I'm still pretty bad at it. HADOUKEN IS OBVIOUSLY 2 TECHNICAL FOR VIET. SEMI-CIRCLE gsrghdghdga

You know, Pierce never did get back to me about the MBR thing. I guess I got rejected? If so what do I need to work on? (Obviously my Marth, which is kinda hard being Wi-Fi only goes so far.)

That's basically it. Theory is one thing but often you need to show you know the character through more than theoretical advantages and manipulations of situations, w/e. You need to display your knowledge in where it counts best - in the midst of battle.

Otherwise you can luck out and even if your Marth sucks balls they might just like you for what you offer in theory and still be accepted. I'm a [former] example so it's not far-fetched.

viet got lucky, he got asked in when people still thought he had potentional, ha!

True stuff.

Don't even think Steel is trolling because it's true lol.

Eh figured, I need to go to a smashfest or something.

Ok two new questions, can some record like 3(?) replays for me? And is anyone open for that mentor position, I'm gonna try a new approach at learning things.

Ill help you out if you want, and Ill also try to get those vids up, but like I said before, my capture card is unreliable.

Thanks. Hey, a try is a try right? What should I contact you on, AIM, MSN, or YIM? I have all lol

Contact me on AIM, ZMT17 is my aim.

I would do it but I can only help one at a time.

[Vitamin_x]

I save Marth's nair for killing. Is there a better way to use nair?

...other than punishing airdodges/switching up with fair

 

[Pr0phetic]

No, your using it just right. It's also good on fatties (Bowser, DK, D3)

 

[Vitamin_x]

Thanks.

Also, I can't find kill percentages for marth anywhere.
Has no one compiled the info yet, or am I just blind?
:|

 

[Pr0phetic]

Hmm where'd those go... Well I think it was in Ulevo's guide but it went poof~ Hopefully someone can show you.

 

[Albert.]

they saved Ulevo's guide because some dumby randomly quoted the entire thing in a post, heres the link:

[Vitamin_x]

It's not in there.
Oh well, I think I can approximate kill percentages through a couple minutes of training mode.
Thanks anyways.

 

[momochuu]

Does DB help stop momentum at all?

 

[Vitamin_x]

Probably.
I don't think you can use DB as soon, though.
So you're better off with a fair.

 

[ZHMT]

Does DB help stop momentum at all?

Theres 2 ways of answering really lol. DB 'can' stop momentum, although one way is pretty much outclassed by Marth's fair.

To get on the ground safer: You can use DB to slow your fall for a short time, (say you get utilted by Snake or uthrown by someone). This can throw off the opponents juggle traps.

To help survive after being hit: Use Fair here, not DB. Fair is way better to help stop momentum, you should DI as well, obviously.

Training mode will give you a false conception of when moves will kill. To be safe, add anywhere between 10-20% to those you get in Training Mode.

 

[Vitamin_x]

Yeah, I figured it'd be hard to get a CPU to DI. >>

 

[Punishment Divine]

Yeah, I figured it'd be hard to get a CPU to DI. >>

Also, Training mode only gives you an idea of when the moves will kill absolutely fresh, so account for that as well

 

[Vitamin_x]

Well, yes.
Trying to find out the kill percentage for fair wouldn't do me any good.
It's still nice to know when you can kill with stuff like dsmash.

 

[Punishment Divine]

Sure it will. Grab, pummel 3 times, throw, dtilt, dancing blade, throw a few other random moves in there and your fair is fresh :D

 

[Pr0phetic]

And if you've been reading up, its great to kill with aerials, they are easier and a lil more reliable because your pressuring as usual.

 

[Vitamin_x]

Sure it will. Grab, pummel 3 times, throw, dtilt, dancing blade, throw a few other random moves in there and your fair is fresh :D

LoL stupid me for overlooking that obvious fact.
