Probably should have mentioned that in your first post about him...
I'm sold then.
funny thing about that; NO ONE is on it anymore
11.75% is being tested if you don't use s canceling and MAD and brawls reg grav (which you do)
i still say 11.75% is too much as well. I think11.50% will be just right
I was stunned by how good hitstun made fox in brawl lol.
Yes you can but it is crucial for you to also downgrade your Wii because 3.4 automatically updates your Wii and for all we know it may have an update that will delete the HBC. So be prepared to install a bunch of files in your SD card.
I'm not even sure what doop walking is (looked in the AT thread). I'm going to go ahead and guess that it's that turn around thingy. There are many more variables present in walking vs. other movement options, one being speed. Plenty of times I've simply walked backwards to bait an aerial and punish. Sure I could have turn-around-thingied, but the speed would effect spacing, not to mention the player's reaction based on seeing the difference in character movement. The point is, the vast majority of other AT's provide a valid reason for choice. L-canceling is not one of them. There is no choice here, people. There is only success vs failure in execution.
Good point, but not quite valid. Again, the key here is variables. If arrow's homed in all the time, that would be a problem, because you could no long fire arrows based on prediction. The choice of control is there because of the obvious benefit in firing arrows where they are going to be, not where they are. Making arrows manual adds depth to your arrow game.
The distinct drawback to attempting a perfect shield is failing it, and getting hit. If you choose to play it safe and shield early, you take no damage but sacrifice an opportunity. This is different from L-canceling.
Another good point, and this was actually one of my arguments against ALC in the past. By this I mean the timing differences involved in L-canceling from different jumps, vs shielding, ect. But you are confusing depth with simple reaction time. Your ability to cancel is dependent on your reaction time to your position above the ground and your decent. Whether the timing varies or not, you are still trying to cancel. What you really mean to say is that L-cancel adds even more technicality based on timing in different situations. This is at the core of the technicality argument, which is one of the few arguments worth pursuing. I add my 2 cents on that below.
The game does things for you all the time. It's all a balance of what should be focused on, and what should not. They could have made hitstun mashable for early escape, but they didn't. What they did make mashable are grab breaks. I wonder why? Was it a random decision? Or was it more due to the fact that you could go an entire match without being grabbed due to such a campy game, whereas your constantly using aerials? If you had to mash every single hit to minimize combos, you would do it, but would you like it? It's much more reasonable to have to mash a grab which is hard pressed to reach "chore" status.
That is such a great point. There are some things that are automatic because they make the game better. When you hold left or right, the game automatically does multiple inputs to keep your character moving. Would you rather this not be automatic and you would have to tap left to move an inch? So that means instead of holding left to reach the end of FD, you have to tap left 100 times to get there. This is technical but its not fun and it doesn't make the game anymore competitive.
Yes Fox is quite good. The hard part is to DI in the direction Fox is facing when he does a Utilt because that is the most powerful DI you will get to escape that combo. Fox can easily change directions with the Utilt to make your DI go against you

Igglyboo on that forum said:
I tried the code out too and yes there is a weird glitch where Fox ends up being a couple of steps behind while retaining the same animation....it's like he teleported or something lol.
Actually yes I am. The code needs tweaking but this will help speed up the game a bit and fast falling would be better. But we still need the better dash dance code regardless.
I always knew that the game is broken hence why I mentioned that the other important codes are still necessary.
I think the speed of melee is just a preference. I think the reason why melee is the best competitive game so far is because it is the most solidly put together game in the franchise. It plays out so well because the mechanics is so balanced and its just a solid game. Speed to a certain extent makes the game more competitive due to faster reaction times but there comes a point where speed actually hurts the game if it is too fast. The things that needs to be fixed will make the game much faster than it is now.
I feel ya. I was looking at some melee matches the other day and it still murders brawl in the excitement departmentSometimes looking at melee matches makes brawl+ look depressing....
Not entirely necessary but I think the giant hitlag on moves gives you a lot of time to input your DI. Decreasing it will make you need to react faster to DI these hits properly and giant hitlag is just annoying as hell.
^^This. Half of the combos in melee are the result of people DIing the wrong way because they didn't know what move they were being hit with. Brawl's hitlag makes it possible to actually just look at what move you are being hit by and DI correctly every time.
