Breaking that Plateau

[xX-Eternal Harriet-Xx]

I used to be a nobody like you,

being limited in vision, ambition, creativity, hunger...

I used to be a nobody like you,

asking for advice from the pros on character discussion boards only to get the same cliche answers time and time again.

"Don't get hit." "Use mindgames and do what you opponent doesn't expect"
"Just...waveshine harder."
"Replace shielding and recovering with triple knee" (F***ing falcon boards...)

Man, 2008 seemed so long ago.

Those days were finally over when I found the end-all panacea for all my characters. I believe several old-school smashers have seen these, but as we all know, the key to the future can be found in the past. Players at all levels from every smash generation will find something that clicks after watching these videos.

My promise.

The videos I chose are of popular characters which often run into plateaus, but there are many more in the related section. Enjoy!

Are you that well known that I don't even know who you are? xD I'm too lazy to sit through the videos right now.

 

[xX-Eternal Harriet-Xx]

"Replace shielding and recovering with triple knee" (F***ing falcon boards...)

No wonder my falcon sucks. I'ma start doin that now.

Hot dang. I learned so much.

Thank you for this Eternal.

I'ma spam the **** out of double raptor and multi-illusion at my next tournament.

I actually wasn't able to find it funny. I should. But I didn't.
It's just awful. Oh god... Yeah uh... those videos are so depressing

 

[Anomic_Punk]

Dude ALL of SmashTom's "tutorials" are just about the worst thing to ever happen to competitive smash. lol

That aside, it was funny as hell. I had forgotten these vids existed.

I'm going to have to start doing double Raptor.

 

[Fenrir VII]

Did you know you can fasten the move by quick-tapping down after pressing down+A in mid-air?

 

[Blatt Blvd]

fasten it to what?

 

[Fenrir VII]

fasten it to what?

use your imagination, I guess...

 

[spider_sense]

look at one of the comments on the falco tutorial:

"Screw shining out of shield and l-canceling, i forgot i could illusion someone 5 times in a row."
