Marfs whining about tap jump on.

l2buffer with tap jump off, instead of telling people to be lazy with tap jump on.

Real men play Marf with tap jump off.

 

[Steel]

it's not hard to have basic control over your controller

all you do is make everything slower at tournaments when you have to mess with controls

 

[VietGeek]

Real men play Marf with tap jump off.

Actually, real men do whatever the hell they want and don't whine about it if it doesn't result in a favorable outcome:

"Whether you choose to go solo or play with friends, you’re covered, because Brawl is about playing the way you want to play."

-Smash DOJO!

Wouldn't you say that pressing up + jump + special requires about as much time as up+special? Pressing one more button doesn't necessarily slow you down.

He means the time it takes to set-up those specific controls up in the first place.

 

[Lord Chair]

He means the time it takes to set-up those specific controls up in the first place.

Oh yes that was pretty obvious wasn't it?

That's not quite a reason though, everyone has his own controls according to their own liking. Or perhaps not, but that's a choice you are allowed to make.

 

[VietGeek]

His point still stands as if everyone used custom controls, big SSBB tourneys would never finish as Brawl is still too slow-paced until you get toward semis and finals, and are always pressed on time.

However, yes, it's an option and personal preference so you should be able to do whatever you wish [within rules] to make yourself comfortable in battle. Doing otherwise would be a disservice to yourself.

Real men play Metaknight.

Why did u feel the need to pwn him Sakurai style? A simple "ur doin it wrong" woulda sufficed. This tap jump thing falls under the category of "work smarter not harder" to me.

 

[Darxmarth23]

Real men play Metaknight.

Real men play Mewtwo.

 

[Nike.]

Just to make sure that it's really as easy as it sounds:

Would it be good to make falco a secondary, simply to counter DDD and go even with Snake, solving 2/3 of the MU problem?

Yeah and Falco is also better vs Metaknight then Marth as well.

 

[Pierce7d]

Congratulations, you are all one step closer to following in my enlightened footsteps. Embrace the Falco

 

[Yoshi Kirishima]

Lol. Falco is actually fun for me to play as . Is he probably the best choice as a secondary along with Marth? If so then it'll help cus then I know I'm doing what is "right".

 

[Thunder Of Zeus]

I use ROB vs mk =D

 

[Tennet]

Pierce I'm behind you by embracing the snake.

How do I fight a gay ZSS that camps with armour pieces? I've tried glide tossing them back at her but it doesn't work that often....

 

[Thunder Of Zeus]

How do I fight a gay ZSS that camps with armour pieces? I've tried glide tossing them back at her but it doesn't work that often....

three easy steps:
1) shield
2) toss off of edge
3) rinse and repeat x3

 

[Pierce7d]

Snake doesn't cover D3!!!! Also, you have to ditto Snakes.

Also, ZSS armor pieces fail to a diagonal approach that is well spaced . . . like Fair . . .

 

[0987654321]

Wow, never thought of Fairing them. Thanks.

>_>

 

[Tennet]

Pierce if played right Snake has the advantage lol and its moar fun going Marth vs Snake then it is dittos...

 

[Wizard Of Seraphym]

I have a lot of fun in Marth v snake fights. Hes heavy and juggles easy thus is win. (I've never fought a really campy one though so that may be why)

 

[Yoshi Kirishima]

Oh yeah there's a question I've been wanting to ask but I kept forgetting to ask it XD. This isn't Marth specific, but for all characters.

Ok so there's different kinds of jumps: Short Hop and Full Jump. But, sometimes you go REALLY fricken high. What is that, and how do you do it? It's not simply using two jumps. I mean, you go really high. Dashing then jumping doesn't cause it.

Anyone know how to do it? And really high means near the top of the stage where you can't see yourself.

 

[Wizard Of Seraphym]

are you talking about footstooling? As in when you jump off of someone? I don't know otherwise.

 

[clowsui]

@ragnarok: the footstool animation can happen even if the other person doesn't actually receive the effects of the footstool
if you touch their head on the point of where the footstool would happen or w/e you go really high for some reason, it's dumb

 

[adumbrodeus]

Yeah and Falco is also better vs Metaknight then Marth as well.

Until MK learns to play to win and planks. And then Falco dies a horrible horrible death.

 

[Yoshi Kirishima]

No I'm not talking about Footstooling. Often times I will press jump (one or two times) and I go super high... and this happens when I'm nowhere near them, so no it's not a footstool. And it's not just that the character jumps really high. For example, Marth's DJ can reach close to the top platform of BF. But, when you do this wierd mega jump thing, you can go a whole Dolphin Slash Range above his DJ on BF.

 

[Pierce7d]

Did you use Dolphin Slash?

Vids please.

 

[Yoshi Kirishima]

Nope, only jump (or both jumps, i forget).

Hmm ok I'll look through my recent replays and try to find one Was hoping you guys would know how about it, guess not though XD.

 

[KillL0ck]

p.s its footstooling

Marth is a man or woman?

Hello, sorry to ask this but i have never played a fire emblem game before.

Is Marth man or woman?

 

[VietGeek]

Hello, sorry to ask this but i have never played a fire emblem game before.

Is Marth man or woman?

Marth is a man.

A very bitter but calm man.

Yeah he's pretty much made out to look cool, the effeminate appearance makes the ladies dig him. His actions win the hearts of all.

Sakurai and the graphic artists are just jealous.

Since when did Marth become a woman's name???

 

[Shaya]

Congratulations, you are all one step closer to following in my enlightened footsteps. Embrace the Falco

"Your" enlightened footsteps?

I think I and probably a billion others came to this conclusion a long time ago (well at least for me back in December/Early January).

 

[Steel]

wow ur so good shaya teach me

 

[∫unk]

then when u learn from shaya u teach me steel

 

[Shaya]

Acting as if it was a divine proclamation to use a secondary against Meta isn't new guys ~_~.

Don't need to troll me steeeeeeeeeeeeel <3

 

[Shadowblazen]

Hey I was wondering, does Marth have guarenteed grab release combos on other characters besides MK? Where can I find more information about comboing out of grabs in general, etc.? Thanks and sorry for asking such a stupid question =/

 

[3xSwords]

Ness and Lucas ground release > pretty much most of your moveset.

Wario>air release>pretty much everything

Squirtle>air release>regrab or spike (these are the only two that really matter)

I think you could land a fair on Mario and GW out of air release but not sure.

 

[Yunior597]

Well it´s a japanese name. What do you expect?
