Blegh, wifi is not ideal for me. My wifi is bad and it's just never been a good experience for me.

either way, it was still rewarding to me. but it was a friendly anyway lol. i almost never try to fill my bucket in tournament, hard not to get punished for it.Never do that with bucket. Always wait and react and see what they do. If they tech, don't tech or tech away, bucket, if they techroll behind you, bucket behind. It's a 100% guaranteed bucket this way.
Edit: Oh and techrolls and rolls are totally different. I think Snake has the biggest techroll.
Wouldn't this advice be situational. For example depending upon how strong your bucket is you should use it differently. If I have a bucket filled with Falco's laser I'm going to be using it more liberaly and not be afraid to use it. Also if at the percent where bucket braking will save you from otherwise certain death I believe forcing the bucket could be potentially more useful than dying, but again this is stock dependent. Although Alph gives good advice to hold onto the bucket in a general position. There are times when it is ok to be more liberal with the use of Bucket.Yeah generally you don't want to use your bucket in a guess situation. It's such a fast move that you should be able to hit it at some point, so just be patient and don't force it. With that said, sometimes if you're not confident in your reaction time a dthrow to insta bucket can be pretty rewarding. I'd do that in dire/clutch situations only though.
