where can i request a name change from a mod? is 3 characters for my name too short? (IDK)-would be the name.
also, in tourney vids i always see when peach dies falling with her upb they always cancel it and fast fall, and when anyone with a super falling dair is beyond recovery, they do a dair. is this because of some rule saying it is stalling to slowly die or something? like say a GW does an upb and starts floating back to the stage but doesn't make it, they do a key...

You have to be a premium member to change your name which is currently disabled.

As for the stalling.. I don't know. Sounds logical however. Personally I do it just to get to the match faster.

Grab

I use Marth as well, and I love the c-stick, it is natural to me, you just have to get used to it. Most top players do use it, and also just a Marth tip, you should keep tap jump on to up-b out of shield easily. Also, I set L to grab and kept R as shield, helps me shield grab.
Something I found that also works quite well is using the R+A combo to grab. It seems strange to me to do so, but I have found that it is more effective to Shield Grab.

Friendly is more like relaxed like when you play with your friends. You all know how good each of you are so you don't have to prove anything. While competitive you go all out and do all of your crazy ATs with your best character. You can do crazy ATs with your main in a friendly match but its just for fun but competitve matches you "have" to.

lol don't say friendlies to someone outside of the smash scene. You never realize how gay that **** sounds until you hear it outside of context.

Kind of like Wife . . .

Is it possible to do a mortar slide with a Wii-Mote and Nunchuck? And if so, what control scheme would you have to use? Because I can't seem to get it with a default scheme.
I was able to do it with shake smash on, but I never bothered to explore any other method.

Though non-Smash related, where did that smiley icon (few users have it as an avatar) originate, what is it called?

Well your gonna need a picture of the smiley but I think I know what your talking about...



Although I don't know, good luck in your search.



Still didn't answer my question. Maybe if you mentioned na exemple of Smash DI in Brawl? And justified how it saves your ***?
Think Pika's DownSmash or Zelda's Forward and Up Smashes.

It's the Awesome Smiley. It originated on 4chan afaik.

Your question was how was it useful. I think I answered quite well. I even showed you a vid where Ken uses it to survive a lot of attacks.

Are you asking how to DO it? I'm not quite sure what you're talking about otherwise....

Hello everyone,

Is mastering the true pivot AT for marth necessary for intermediate to advanced play?
I seems impossible to pull off consistently :(

Nah Terios, I was thinking about examples. The Ken vid is in Melee, so I was looking for something in Brawl. But Fire Mario has already answered my question, thanks anyway.
