Dont get da kid started (boss)

[Inferno3044]

So what is our do's & dont's against ike?

Don't roll/spotdodge out of fear. Ike basically make plays off of reads iirc so you will eat a smash. It's ok to roll or spot dodge on reaction to a move because his move set is stupidly slow for the most part. His jab is really good and it's something worth watching out for.

 

[Coolwhip]

Ahh, ok. I gotta kill my spotdodge habits more often, esp against ikes.
Which i feel my spotdodge'n habits is slowly dying.

 

[steep]

your jab is really good against ike too. bair wall can be legit too i think. just dont whiff and get smashed or tilted. fludd gimps his up b and cape gimps his side b.... lol

 

[JuxtaposeX]

Look out for his f-air spams

 

[steep]

True ^^ And don't fall for his retreating fair. Also, his nair gives me problems sometimes. Just shield it and punish. Watch out for his bair. It's fast and it kills really well.

I pretty much already know this. LOL

But thanks steep. Never hurts to take as much advice as i can.

Wounldn't that be against marth players?

 

[steep]

Better to have said something that you already knew than to not say it and you not know it right?

Coolwhip you wanna play some wifi friendlies soon? Would you be able to play?

 

[Sleek Media]

Ike's jab is basically his whole game. It's good. Like, cancel into itself for nearly 20% good. And it's fast. And it has crazy reach. So here's the deal:

If he starts jabbing you just di away. Don't bother trying to go through it, it's not worth it. Never run in there when he has a full shield. Wear him down with fireballs. You'll either force him to approach (where you can win with superior speed), or you'll reduce his shield enough that you can get in there with a crossover dair to start things. Just be careful, and make him play at your pace...his fsmash can change the game in a second if you start rolling thoughtlessly.

 

[steep]

up b beats his jab cancelling i believe.

 

[Matador]

up b beats his jab cancelling i believe.

I actually wouldn't recommend this. He gets too much of a frame advantage for this to be very safe.

If he decides to jab, then spotdodge or shield, you'll whiff, then he gets a free smash of choice.

Every once in awhile, I can see this working, but Sleek Media generally has the idea. Just DI out.

 

[steep]

Ok! Good advice. I can see how whiffing that up b could lead to.... bad things for Mario. lol

 

[boss8]

dropping brawl.......

its been a pleasure everyone

(not even kidding this time)

 

[Sleek Media]

May I ask why? That's a real shame...you were fun to play against. I'd have loved to try a Mario Bros team sometime.

 

[boss8]

cause.....its not even worth playing anymore....i dnt even get a kick out of it anymore....

and high level play jus limits me and my characters....so im done..

 

[Sleek Media]

That's why you just gotta play for fun, or find a group you have fun with. It's a game. When you treat it as something else, it's gonna lose its luster.

 

[Matt07]

I can't blame you at this point, a lot of MK going around .

Melee Mario for life.

 

[Coolwhip]

Boss's legacy will continue on within me.

 

[steep]

Lol Coolwhip.... I'M the one dual maining Mario/Luigi here.... haha

 

[- Theelitebrawler -]

I agree with Coolwhip truly. Its been a pleasure watching your Mario and Luigi **** everyone
and maybe for the next SSB they can make Mario a little better...

 

[vato_break]

[JuxtaposeX]

At Genesis, I see that changing...

DEHF is that beast...

I still say we could fix all this overnight by making balanced brawl the standard for tournament play. There is no excuse not to, other than wanting to maintain the current tiers.

I still say it's a waste to argue because it won't happen. Not saying I disagree, but I know the community will not do it. Also you don't attend tourneys so why do you care how other people play?

Oh, believe me, I know it'll never happen. Doesn't mean it shouldn't though. If it did, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one attending more events. As it is, though, it's all I can do to stomache one or two. It's easy to see why people who play actual competitive games scoff at us.

"Actual competitive games" have horrible balancing issues too.

They just kinda accept it and continue playing, though.

I think of it as being like online play. Sure, not all games have a full featured online mode with no lag, but damn if Brawl isn't the absolute worst at it.

 

[Matador]

I decided a long time ago that I didn't really like Brawl that much...it can be really fun sometimes, but really frustrating competitively.

I also decided a long time ago, before Brawl released, that I would be a top Mario in this game. Still hanging on to that, despite Brawl's MANY many short-comings.

So yeah...it's not amazing. There are a lot of things wrong with this game. I just do my best to ignore it...

 

[Jimmyfosho]

Sorry Matador, but for you to get that title you will have to destroy me for it >_> (like you haven't already /sarcasm)

 

[Matador]

Wifi will never count, lol

We gotta stick together now that Boss is hanging up his hat...

This. The best players for the most part use the better characters in EVERY fighting game so don't think brawl is any different. And as Matador said, there are tons of balance issues. Other fighter games just sugar coat it. SSF4 looked balanced as the ratios were shown but I highly doubt it's accurate. The Mario boards ratios are also sugar coated as well as some other character boards but at least we admit that it isn't fully balanced.

 

[Matador]

SSF4:AE is ridiculously unbalanced, lol.

Like...blatantly so.

 

[Inferno3044]

I don't even show what AE stands for LMAO!
