's here. 
I'm so glad that more and more people are realizing this about Little Mac. When you play him in this way, you become a terrifying mind monster. This is the main reason I love Little Mac.Oh hey, @
In boxing, if you have long arms/reach, or are strong and fast, you want to poke at your opponent, but also let them make the mistakes. I'm not aggressive when I fight, rather, I wait for my opponent, and then make a good read on his fails. After sparing, while resting, I realized that Little Mac as a SSB4 character isn't about pure aggression. It's about good reads, a reactive/defensive playstyle that is strange (mainly grounded), but can intensely rewarding. So I'm giving Mac a second chance.
v dittos.
They do have such a feature. During an online match, press X (depends on your controller) to view the player's profile. Should be a "Send Friend Request" button underneath it (alongside View Miiverse Profile, Report Player, Block, etc.).I like bumping into other Little Mac users online.
I don't know if it's the same with other characters, but they usually stick around for
I remember one particular match where I lost the first two matches, then I won the next two matches, then it got to 1 win, 1 lose, 1 win, 1 lose, etc.
By then we were both sporting our training hoodies, making it obviously clear we were training to become better Mac players.
Those are the times when I wish we had a: ADD FRIEND button somewhere.
(btw, I use wireframe online)
He could be talking about the 3DS version, which has no such feature. That's why the best we get is the "'Who WAS That?' - The Player Finder Thread!" thread.They do have such a feature.

I've actually gotten 3 friend requests like that. One of them was a pretty decent/cool Mac player.
Yeah, I totally know what you mean by that. I find it funny how at first everyone thought Little Mac was overpowered, and then Sakurai came out with statistics saying that he has by far the lowest win / lose ratio of any character.
D-Tilt is good when they've used their invincible ledge grab. Pop them in the air and you might get a f-tilt or smash in. Might also be a way to start the n-air gimp. But it's not too common to have a chance for it. The more common edgeguard is Dsmash. Dsmash hits slightly below the ledge, and launches horizontally. I like to stand a jab distance away from the edge. This just leads into prediction, as from this position, a upFsmash will hit a jump, Dsmash will hit them grabbing, and roll back if they roll onto stage. From there, either jab or F-tilt if you think you can. Jab is more likely. At moderate percentages it'll knock 'em back off, and you can retry. I had a friend who walked forward and held rapid jabs on the edge when I started to get up. It covered my air getup, which is what I did.
Wasn't that patched?
Still in the game. The Smash corner would have info us of it being patched.
It was patched out.Nope.
you can do jigglypuff grab release into dash up B... if you can react fast enough. but it doesnt matter since up b kills jiggz way later than his smashesNope.
Now THAT is sick XD
I approve. If nerves ever get to me I'll definitely give this one a try. xD
That was awesome. I've always been so worried about getting hit on this stage I never thought about abusing that threat to set up KO Punch. Beautiful and silly.
Congrats man! What were you doing that helped you make it that far in the tournament? What characters did you eventually lose to and why?
I second
, with some on the side. And the occasional for sentimental reasons. They're all pretty different from Mac, but their styles just kinda clicked for me.
Hmm, well one thing that helped me make it that far was definitely the support, practice matches, and critical advice given to me by fellow smashers there, especially from my mentor. I would apply the advice as soon as possible, and I wouldn't have won some of the matches without it.
Those are awesome tournament results o.o Congrats on each of those tournaments!! Were you solely playing little mac in each one?
Bowser is scary. He can KO us a lot faster then we can KO him and that's not even considering the fact that he has solid aerials for gimping us off stage. I've never dropped a set to a Bowser player, but I've had some close matches. I tend to get hit by really random, but infrequent, side smashes. I hate dropping a stock at 50%...
mac's punch has a small but strong windbox if it misses.
So you're saying that it's like Pac-Man's fire hydrant while you're grabbing or being grabbed?
The windbox won't prevent them from getting hit by the KO punch. Though due to the large step forward, I often find myself missing if we're point blank. Also, you can jump cancel the KO punch, so remember that when you're in shield.
wow this just made me realize how sparingly i use the KO punch (its not that I ignore it, just moreso not having the oppurtunity and therefore i dont rely on it). im gonna practice it too
