Wiichuck= wireless=frame loss(takes time for the game to react from when you pressed the buttons)=frame advantage for the opponent=even harder to time and grab


That is one reason why a GCcontroller is clearly superior to use...
I've never experienced any delay in my button inputs and I use the Classic Controller (at least as far as I can tell, but now that I think about it, when I took my Wii to school for a christmas party, things didn't seem to come out when I wanted to do... but Iunno does fine at home lol)

Actually this depends on the circuitry use, the reaction time could be under one frame thus making your game unnafected.

I've been playing for months (almost a year iirc) and I still don't have every character on a consistent basis. >.> It takes a while.

No ICs main has "mastered" CGs, including lain.

But if you're wanting to get them at a workable tournament level, you're looking at a couple of months of good training...

i really dont practice chain grabbing. the chain grabs are all really easy, whats difficult is doing them in tournament. I find that practicing it in training or in friendlys dont help much. Its a whole different expirence while in tournament.

This guide could use a possible fine tuning, since it hasnt been touched in over a year.

Hell I used this guide when I first started out.

I'm not a big competitive player, so i'm not sure how useful this technique is, but I discovered that if you use Ice shot directly after squall hammer, one piece of ice wil be shot in each direction, because popo and ana are facing in different directions. I've never tested it with any other attack, but I can only assume it'd work with the neutral a-combo too. Might want too add that, if it's useful.

Mr. Game and Watch

Grounded Blizzard shoots in opposite directions for the most part regardless of whether it's done out of squall or just grounded...



I am seriously contemplating locking this thread and/or writing a new guide

I'd write the zoning portion since that's literally the only thing I do.
