Ask NickRiddle how to be amazing.

[NickRiddle]

At the end of your Stun Whip 2 video, you pull an extremely flashy and epic kill on a Snake that involved throwing up a suit piece and then footstooling the piece to gain extra height for the kill.
Did you come up with that on the spot!?

Yup.
I'd thought about using armor, but never did it.

Also, DI back out of Dancing Blade for dsmash x2 -> fair/bair. 15% trade for a 40% combo? Yes please.

you can punish whiffed dblade 3 and 4 with dsmash. ZSS also has the luxury of being a character that can DI out of it. So theoretically, if you can master this and do it every time, Marth's dblade becomes unsafe on HIT! An incredible blow to Marth's ground game.

I've been DI'ing backwards out of Marth's Dancing Blades, it doesn't seem to be whiffing at all. It's common knowledge that DDB4 is able to be DI'ed out of backwards and forward, but I can't seem to DI out of the other DBs. I am most likely doing it wrong(though I'm not sure how I could be). I'll try it later on.

I'm pretty new to using ZSS, I haven't played as her in a while. I normally use samus in the suit. I'm trying to be a "jack of all trades" pretty much, and be good with ZSS. I'm also a metroid fan. So my question is, when I use Zero Suit Samus in a free for all, what moves should I use to take enemies down the quickest? Because I normally build the damage up, and fail to hit someone with her plasma whip, someone else K.Os them, then I get K.Oed later. And her flip is pretty hard for me to land. Any suggestions?

 

[stingers]

for FFAs you should probably learn how to get those snipes in with the plasma whip, just cuz of its long range which would help a lot in FFAs...

Don't.
She sucks in FFA.

Team battle it is.

In your eyes from seeing me play how do I get better my friend? I know I'm somewhat good but no where near enough.

Umm...
Stop trying to kill me.
Seriously.
As long as you kill me before I kill you, in 8 minutes, you're doing fine.
When I hit 130, and you start spinning the c-stick, it becomes EASY to hit you.
Stop it, and it will be harder.
Also, pick up MK.

You know I won't pick up mk lol

Hey, Kyon.

 

[Zero]

kyon kun,

[stingers]

what is the best way to keep armor pieces alive...i have a theory that grab release to armor piece on mk could kill mad early but I always lose track of them before I can get appropriate damage

 

[Jem.]

How do you think me + Rich Brown vs you and Shakey would have gone down? We would have played you at Columbus if we would have gotten by Mikehaze and Havok. I'm sad we didn't get to play, I still think about how crazy the set would have been :o

 

[Queen B. Kyon]

Hey, Kyon.

Herrow there

 

[Deathfox30]

Whats the best option when jabbing? I get shield grabbed a ton if I try the third hit or D tilt (if they don't have really bad range or a slow grab). I've been doing Jab1, Jab2, Pivot grab a lot but it's not that great... I think I saw something about her jab being able to beat some character's shield grabs awhile back, does that actually work?

Kyon O: Your my third favorite person on Smashboards. <3

I'm your first right? Just agree <3

I honestly have no idea. I know I played you in friendlies, but I don't remember if I played Rich, or if Shaky played either of you. Would have been interesting, at least.

Try mixing up full jab, jab x2 > something and jabx1 > something. Jabx1 is actually really hard to punish. if you ARE getting hit, try jabx1 > down-b/roll/side-step. It may work.

I'm your first right? Just agree <3

You're my favorite. <3

 

[Deathfox30]

Yes, master. :3

You're my favorite tooo ^_^ :D:D:D

Yes, master. :3

I prefer Mistress xD but as long as you know it's me then it's all good

 

[Rubberbandman]

All this love going around. Nick, what do you think about using jab cancelling with ZSS? Possible good idea?

 

[stingers]

**** nick straight ignores me...

 

[NickRiddle]

Throw them up?
It's hard to keep one alive for a while vs. MK.
Also... that sounds like an amazing idea.

It sucks.

 

[stingers]

throwing them up? i guess on bf I can just camp top platform for awhile. hmm this could work, idk needs refinement but only good for one stock + additional damage on 2 if you're lucky, but it's still a great lead.

Really? Why is that?

Your nearly as sexy as SFP and your lucky bomb pulling is uber sexy. :3 Especially against Nick <3

What happens when you put an energy gun and an electric human missile together?

Spectacular events.

 

[Nefarious B]

I've done grab release to suit piece before, it's really sexy though my item pieces are usually too staled to make 80% kills happen. The nice thing is that you can air release CG MK over to the general area of the suitpiece too, so it isn't super situational.

 

[Nefarious B]

Nick, what did you think of Fire Emblem 7 and Radiant Dawn, if you played either? I just got RD, and while I can float through FE7 on hard mode without much issue, RD is freakin hard and I'm on level 5 on medium

 

[NickRiddle]

Played 7. In fact, I'm Let's Playing HHM right now. <3
Never played RD though. I'm gonna play that after I finish... my LP of PoR...
-.-
I LP too many FE games.

I've heard form all my friends RD is uber hard for no reason. Still not on the level of Tharica776 though.

FE7 is challenging on Hector Hard mode, but the presence of Farina and triangle attack makes it all better.

Triangle attack STILL sucks. :D
Btw, send me a download for 776 via AIM. I wanna play it.

 

[solecalibur]

Triangle attack is so cool though! its the only reason to have them!

 

[NickRiddle]

Triangle attack is so cool though! its the only reason to have them!

But Farina and Florina are so good.
Fiora's good too, but I hate her.
**** green hair.

 

[Rubberbandman]

Triangle attack is so cool though! its the only reason to have them!

Other than Farina being simply amazing?

She has the best strength growth out of the 3, and the rest of her growths are either identical or better than the others.

 

[Nefarious B]

Pegasus Knights are still garbs So many archers and balistas in the last 10 levels

I'm at chapter 7 of RD so far, and it's weird, I guess because I was used to be able to level whoever I pleased in FE 7, but in this one you either have characters that have to be babied pretty hard, or you have characters with Marcus syndrome, who are too good for your level and leach xp if you let them tank. I really would rather not use these fatties and level people from the start because they're obviously better in the end game, but right now it seems really hard to do that

 

[Dr. John]

ummmm...
is true always true or is false always false?

 

[stingers]

Wow, how come I rarely see ZSS's usmash oos? It's so good. I've been incorporating it into my game lately for punishing things every other character would shieldgrab. It's ****.

 

[Supermodel From Paris]

We would, but theoretically usmash is REALLY EASY to DI/SDI and you'd get hit a lot out of it. Plus utilt is a better setup and both have about 100 "come **** me" frames.

How often is the opponent hanging out above our shields? That's a TERRIBLE place for them to be.
