Combo Breaker by Pause!

[TheStig]

Everytime I play this one guy he mashes his controller insanely and hits pause almost everytime i chain grab him. Should I be allowed to restart my chaingrab because pause screws up the timing when I unpause it? Or should I turn pause off in the options list when I play?

Thoughts?

 

[meepxzero]

lol if u dont mess up he should agree to let you grab again and continue with what u were doing.

 

[choknater]

Lmao, there are better ways to mash...

He does it accidentally? Lame.

 

[FrozenHobo]

turn pause off. if that happened in a tourney he would be DQd instantly.

 

[Tektite]

Unplug his controller.

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

Oh lulz, whenever I mash the buttons, sometimes I can accidentally mash the start button since my hands are everywhere mashing on the controller, lol.

Maybe you should turn off Pause, because most likely in matches you won't pause since you're playing, unless a parent calls you or when your hands are sweaty so you could wipe it off when you want to pause the screen...

 

[Funen1]

Just make him learn not to hit Start when he mashes buttons. Whatever he's doing to mash buttons would only hurt him in a tourney anyway.

 

[JustNoOne]

Turning off pause would be the best choice :3

 

[C~Dog]

Turn pause off and tell him to mash the control stick back and forth, not all the buttons.

 

[Da-D-Mon-109]

In SSB64, my controler used to be broken to the point where it would pause back and forth naturally. I hated those days. If he's using Pause to stop your Chain Grabs, just turn the Pause off, and let him see if he can mash his way out of it still.

 

[lain]

If someone does it in tournament, that's a free grab. He legitimately ****ed up what you were doing by illegally pausing the game.

 

[Dev2000]

Just turn pause off and see what he can do without that button problem solved :3

 

[Fly_Amanita]

Instead of getting another grab, I would just tell him to kill himself once.

...That's a bit out of proportion. A free grab is reasonable, since you had that anyway. A lost stock, on the other hand, was never guaranteed.

No, it's a DQ.

People will usually be cool about it, though. If someone accidentally paused the game in the middle of the chaingrab, then if they just SD'ed or let me grab them again, it'd probably be fine.

Not really, considering 1 grab from Ice Climbers = Death.... >_> And if you don't agree with it, then fine, you'd just get disqualified.

I'm sure that'd be better than losing a stock.

 

[ssbbFICTION]

fly in my brawl boards??? lol

I've accidentally paused before and had people do it to my climbers. Just let them get the grab again...I would be inclined to turn pause off during tourney matches anyway.

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

Shouldn't you be rolling the analog and jiggling the c-stick to get outta grabs anyways?

 

[Fly_Amanita]

lol yeah

I never planned on quitting Brawl; I just want to take a break so I can focus on improving at Melee for a while. I'll probably be going to tourneys again within the next couple months.

No, 1 grab from Ice Climbers = potential death. I occasionally (read: often) miss a re-grab, and I'm quite sure I'm not the only one. Especially against lightweights.

Why does everyone say they're harder to cg? I have the most trouble with heavies. Bowser, DK, snake, ROB, etc.

I can 0-death light weights consistently though: jigs, Mk, Gw, kirby.

Some people start learning to CG on heavy character since they assume the timing is easy there, when they get to lightweight it all falls down.

For some people that started on lightweight, the timing to too long on heavy characters.

That's my guess :3

ye your right i started on heavyweights so i got the slow timing then started building it up

oh btw your sig is awesome

If we could just tell everyone to start learning CGs on lightweights since most of our problems are lightweight characters :3 *cough MK cough

And Super Pichu Galaxy is wayy tooo good <3

 

[momochuu]

I can chaingrab every lightweight except for MK and GW. -__-

And GW is like...the character that counters me so I wish I could.

 

[JustNoOne]

For MK and G&W it's way too hard to GC them with Dthrow to Fthrow :*(

So I find Dthrow to Bthrow to pivot grab works pretty well :3 I can't do Bthrow with Popo holding my opponent, Nana keeps rolling away so it blows I can't do Bthrow to Bthrow >.>

I love the fact the discussion is out of topic xD

 

[meepxzero]

lol al find myself one weeek cging heavies like a pro and sucking on light weights and then the next al cg lightweights like a pro and cg heavies horribly XD.

Lains smart to cg lightweights flawlessly and uses ddd against heavy characters instead of ice climbers. Its hard to find a balance between the two, but most heavies can be beaten without cging @ a 100% because you have more opportunities to grab them *aka laggy characters*

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

I find Jigglypuff and ZSS awkward to chaingrab, so I slow my CG a little bit. :/

For heavies, I do footstool grabs + smash grabs. :3 The damage output is just ridiculous I say. O:<

 

[nasir123]

hey yi man i no how u feel i awlays play with a peach player called NikoK and whenever i chain grab em e mashes and he hits pause. It pisses me off but i think ur allowed to regrab in tournements but only if U skrew it up because of the pause. bye the way thanks for making this thread

 

[KarateF22]

for mk i do dthrow+dthrow+bthrow footstool iceblock (it does work since nana is a bit behind you from the dthrow). same with jiggs. On all other lightweights i do dthrow to fthrow to bthrow to iceblock. Great combo as it racks up damage quicker than most chaingrabs by keeping your moves fresher.... for heavies i just get lazy and do bthrow footstool bthrow footstool etc.

Pivot Bthrow to Fthrow ***** GaW/Kirby

I learned to CG on Midweights. I guess that's why I suck at the infinite. D:

Oh and just Bthrow/Bthrow or Bthrow/Dthrow Meta. I find MK easier to Bthrow/Bthrow.

 

[Diddyknight]

usually its a DQ. but if there nice enuff they would usually let you grab again.

Turn off Start option

 

[Wolydarg]

Start DI is the best AT.

At all the big tourneys (say, CoT4), do they typically turn off pausing or is that something you gotta watch out for yourself?

 

[p8nted]

Start DI is the best AT.

ahahahaha.

I'd ask him to SD or let him DQ. Something like that could really throw my game off (not just the chain grab).

 

[TheStig]

lol video evidence of combo breaker by pause

friendlies though and i told him that i get a free grab

Combo Breaker

 

[.Marik]

Go to Rules, and turn off the Pause option.

Problem fixed.
