Yeah, I guess you're right. Get good, noob. Stop letting your USmash get beat by Splash.

On a side note, why does Diddy get to be the only character with Throw follow ups? I want my grab releases back, Supper-pie.

Am I missing something? There's a video of chad that no one is linking?

I thought everyone stalked the Hawaiian esports scene.

Also, all parts of that tourny are worth watching. If Smash was the Matrix, everyone in Hawaii would be Neo.

11:01 is why I barely use default klaw and why I'm not maining Bowser for no-custom compettive stuff

 

[UltimaLuminaire]

Now that I look at it, Yasha was showing too much respect there, so it might have been possible to flamebreath at that moment if you didn't want to bother with klaw. Otherwise, the timing was only slightly off for initiating the klaw and it was an excellent call.

A back-air at 10:48 would've sealed the match as well. Really surprised he didn't go for it

 

[B!squick]

SideB is Bowser's fourth taunt.

Didn't react to it fast enough. My reflexes are poo.

plenty of characters get throw followups, just not characters who do 15-20% per hit : D

 

[B!squick]

Diddy is the only one I've seen able to follow up at kill percents though. DThrow 2 UAir 4 daze.

Lucario can Uthrow -> Uair for kills sub 100%. heavily dependent on character and both character% though and it's extremely frame tight.

 

[Hitman JT]

I'll assume you guys haven't fought a Mii Brawler yet. Because lmao

 

[B!squick]

Not really, honestly. I haven't even seen them on YouTubes.

 

[UltimaLuminaire]

@ B!squick I use a Mii Brawler while messing around with my friends (it's based off a well known D&D character in my group, so it sees a lot of use). Assuming you're using the lil mac up b variant, you've got a better kill setup than ZSS after a dthrow.

The helicopter kick is also a pretty insane kill option.

My reaction to the recent Sakurai interview:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHAob-_xV7M

 

[MagiusNecros]

My reaction is pretty much whatever.

 

[MrEh]

Sakurai: "GAME IS BALANCED. PERFECT. WAIFUS AND MONKEY REIN SUPREME. WOW."

 

[Hitman JT]

So when's Project B?

 

[MagiusNecros]

Sakurai: "GAME IS BALANCED. PERFECT. WAIFUS AND MONKEY REIN SUPREME. WOW."

That's just a bunch of banana's if you ask me.

 

[UltimaLuminaire]

Luigi should be up there with Waifus and Monkey, IMO.

 

[Cassius.]

nah. He's not THAT good.

 

[B!squick]

Good to know Bowser is balanced now, right fellas? Make sure you memorize that list of stages you'll get Sudden Death on from Bowsercides 'cause that **** is working as intended apparently.

 

[Zigsta]

Does anyone know if there's a video of the airdodge cancel? I'll have a bit of time to practice this week and would totally love to dedicate some time to mastering this.

 

[PadWarrior]

Been using Bowser some on For Glory. He's such a fun character. Love all of his animations.

 

[Z1GMA]

A stupid fix

I noticed something really, really... I don't know if it's good or bad. Personally I hate it, though.
In Smash 3DS, when you turned around with Bowser, he'd do this really silly thing with his hands/palms - well, it looks really effeminate in a fun way.
I often used it repeatedly as a taunt after KO'ing somebody.
However, they REMOVED it in the WiiU Version. Whuuut?!

 

[Steam]

The best bowser taunt is just to walk as slow as possible. He does the dramatic slow motion walk.

 

[Zigsta]

Back in Brawl I would Koopa Hop nair as a "taunt," and some Texas players called it the Zigsta Taunt.

Then Sakurai took out Koopa Hopping and Brawl nair. </3

 

[B!squick]

Even factoring in my lack of human opponents, I got bored of this game REALLY fast. It's almost like all that tech made the game less stale or something.

Nintendo, free advice. Lose the bubble you exist in and be less terrible maybe?

 

[UltimaLuminaire]

Yo, guys, keep your eyes open for Le Troof from yesterday's Xanadu Tuesday. He beat Boss' Luigi in the first set and is a monster.

Too bad I lost the salty runback on stream >_>

 

[UltimaLuminaire]

@ Hitman JT Still, it's a great showing. I'm looking forward to even better things in the future as the reads get tighter and the spacing even more absurd. It's great seeing most of the followups covered in the moveset thread (@ J Jerodak ) in action. RIP reverse b, tho. Dunno what happened there. Controller mishap?

We also need Lucario and more Luigi in the matchup thread. I have no good Lucario in my immediate circle and I lose too one-sidedly to Luigi to come up with anything new. One mistake -> Shoryuken -> game.

 

[Hitman JT]

I just BNF'd and took a fiery fist up the ass for it. Against Junebug I just let myself get frustrated at always being like 1 frame too late to punish his rolls. I let him get away with too many side Bs as well

 

[Jerodak]

We can rebuild him... we have the technology...

 

[Zigsta]

Too bad I lost the salty runback on stream >_>

So is it you and Exist over there playing Bowser? (Or are you the same person?)

Also, who all's going to Apex?

 

[Cassius.]

I'm going. I asked David if he was going but apparently he works on Friday, so RIP.

 

[B!squick]

I'll be there.... in spirit.

 

[KingKong_ad]

Yeah work sucks sometimes, but I will have go if otherwise

If you're talking about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmDkNkNPWYY it's actually pretty easy, just pretend you're doing rising Fair with your airdodge instead then do any special you want when you land.
