a long time ago, I once heard people suggest that Mew2king could have a part time job as a Smash player if he would won every tournament he attended in both Brawl and Melee

Of course he's M2k, it's unrealistic for anyone else unless they become top 5 in the world... and that in itself is next to impossible.

ok hhow do i rip youtube vids then record my mic after removing the sound from the video treat me like a ****** with no brain

 

[Ocho(*8*)]

i think this is great for ripping youtube vids. http://www.youtubedownloadersite.com/

thats only step one though, no idea after that..

 

[ShrieK1295]

If you go to windows movie maker, in there is a button (left of the microphone) which will let you adjust the audio for the video. On the right of it, there is a microphone which lets you narrate over the video.

Scar is busy with other things. He prefers SCII right now

 

[ShrieK1295]

Who can prefer sc2 over anything =[

k my first vid is not gunna be that good gimme tips on what u guys want

i had some amazing sets from the tourney stab recorded BUT all the really good ones weren't recorded, vs baka and both sets of fly

 

[ShrieK1295]

I'd like some advice about how to not die to spacies when they have stage control. I notice good players get shined a lot less than I do, and I also get ***** when they are just spamming bair or up tilt. I have a particularly hard time getting away from fox when he has invulnerability frames after dying

 

[S l o X]

I feel like I'm really good outside of my in-game vs fox. (and because of this - falco) Anyone want to give me some tips on how to not be *** @ in-game?

@ s2j
1. go over neutral game vs whoever you're playing. (very important vs falco / peach)
2. moves especially good in matchups. (see: side-b / stomp vs IC)
3. treat viewers as everyone is low-mid level.

no tips on actually making the video because i'm ******** when it comes to that.

 

[taylosun]

You can stomp bair and up tilt if you do it right. Don't recommend trying it on up tilt though. You can uair their bair too if you time it right and you should be able to nair them out of it too if you space it correctly. You can also get in front of them when they're doing up tilt... To get away you just have to mix up what you're doing. Fox is fast so he's going to be hard to get away from.

alright sorry to dissapoint you folks but im currently in test season but i swear i'll put out a vid or 2 after my real life boring **** is over

 

[tarheeljks]

what do you mean when you say "in-game"?

 

[Violence]

I'd really like to hear your insight on the Falcon Samus matchup, maybe one of your games vs Hugo or Duck.

If other people don't wanna see that ****, I'll settle for a vs Peach game.

 

[Scidadle]

How do i **** spot dodges?

 

[Deleted member]

most basic form is run up --> knee when they spot dodge

if you aren't sure/ want to control your part of the stage n-air is OK

better players will often only spot-dodge if it is borderline between you grabbing/ spot dodge or you will be barely off in which case you

RUN up to them, shield to stop your run --> grab spot dodge

 

[tarheeljks]

gotta force yourself to wait for it, also need a feel for when you are "late" on the chase

 

[S l o X]

what do you mean when you say "in-game"?

close range.

@s2j, if you wanna be lazy. just record your desktop + sound. open up browser--> full screen a youtube video, and narrate over the video as it plays (hopefully you don't have crappy internet where you gotta pause a video and let it buffer, that's totally 2007 youtube metagame)

to record desktop...use something like xsplit or something? i dunno....yeah it's much less effort.

 

[Wenbobular]

Uhh I use this stuff from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/ to rip youtube vids
Mad useful
The other thing probably works too but whatever

The easiest way I can think of is just using some sort of sound recording software (even the default windows one will do) and just sync them together in Windows Movie Maker (the crappiest video editor ever but it works haha)

 

[S l o X]

RUN up to them, shield to stop your run --> grab spot dodge

i've found this is really useful, especially against bad players. if you figure out they spot dodge too much (my old fatal flaw) just do this a LOT in pressure situations.

 

[Wenbobular]

Johnny learn how to weak knee phantasms without dying haha

for running out and hitting them?

 

[Wenbobular]

Well uhh
Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=C0y9r3rKstI#t=504s
But you tap them with weak knee instead of ... you know

 

[Twinkles]

i remember s2j naired illusions off stage
i thought that was ****

 

[Gahtzu]

ive been using ftilt and down angled ftilt to catch illusions lately, seems pretty good

 

[Deleted member]

i should have naired in that spot it would've hit him 100%

i have close to 0 regrets ending that match like that though going out in a blaze of glory

 

[Tee ay eye]

ive been using ftilt and down angled ftilt to catch illusions lately, seems pretty good

random note: an easy way (imo) to get ftilts by the ledge is to crouch by the ledge and then just 1/4 or 1/8 circle up and hit A. that way, you can do the input faster and you don't have to deal with more delicate motions

 

[Violence]

I always wondered: Why don't you guys edgeguard with this?

I mean, it's like second nature to me, but I rarely see it happen.

 

[Morin0]

I do it. s2j does it sometimes (based on what i've seen from his matches)

 

[Qual_]

French falcons use it alot.

 

[Gahtzu]

i like using it to gimp all the n00bs that insta-secondjump

 

[crush]

dash attacking the edge is pretty sweet for edgeguarding, especiallly cuzit hits low and if theyre at low percents you can fall off with a uair or at high ppercents instant-walljump and then **** them.

 

[Warhawk]

I see it sometimes but if they sweetspot you're not going to get them with that. Plus with a lot of characters Falcon can just hold the ledge at certain recovery distances and then wait for them to recover on-stage and knee them and that's more reliable because it can prevent sweetspotting for many characters.

 

[Windrose]

samus' up tilt is much better than falcon's up tilt. there's usually better options though than uptilt for falcon so people don't use it.

it's pretty good in falcon dittoes though (there's some sort of code of honor where falcons agree subconciously to not use this move in dittos cuz it's very gay)

i also do what gahtzu does, if you think they're going to instant second jump back, just throw up a freakn up tilt to punish that. but lately, i've been just using a knee or back air instead of uptilt to punish for this.

 

[LordYggdrasil]

The down angled ftilt is very reliable on spacies recover, especially on their side-b

 

[Wenbobular]

The down angled ftilt is very reliable on spacies recover, especially on their side-b

If they don't shorten / sweetspot properly sure
I don't really like DAFT anymore for edgeguarding :|
