Watched the video, you need to work on not getting spiked, also, Ive realized that it is just better to throw a CB when ypur opponent is offstage and they usually recover high or take to much time to fall becaise CB is a bit sllow so ypu have more opporunity for the oppomemt to take it also it has a great range and if it lands the opponents options get very limited

Some games unedited of my mega vs a strong player playing Roy then Lucina:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjFX9IYpDrg

They were friendlies, but we were trying to murder each other dead.

Edit: I try to play quite a technical and aggro mega, so when you see me dash attack away that's a mistimed pivot fsmash, and if I throw a MB that's not there I'm usually trying to crash bomber and just flubbed it.

Edit2: that Lucina game really got not serious by the time I was utilt spamming, I thought it was funny cus I kept sourspot clipping him with it. Enjoyed my 2nd kill, but mostly just didn't want to re-render the video it takes ages just to have the first game!

You handled the Roy with little trouble, and nice disrespect at the end there you are such a jerk XD

And yeah, against the Lucina, the utilt spam is what made you lose.

Yeh it was the end of the session, and it was all vs Roy until there. Lucina is harder to deal with imo, she's got more disjoint and I hate disjointed aerials vs mega's aerials it makes attempting to trade way less favourable. I don't usually use utilt at all outside of z1gma upper or perfect shielding some moves.

Bo5 set from an online tournament, WF, LF and GF gets the replays saved and recorded.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0jkhFVmFKo

Connection was awesome aside from one lag spike we had at the beggining of game 4, you will see us taunting and doing nothing for a few seconds.

Things i would like to note:

Never faced a good Samus before, and also didn't knew what to do against zair other than shield or the yolo fsmash.

Zdrop is really helping me edgeguarding recently. Is what ended up giving me openings for a stock sometimes, plus in a previous match i had against one scary *** Kirby. Why didn't i used it on the Fox? Cause i'm an idiot.

I really need someone to punch it into my skull that i need to be calm and actually think when trying to edge guard fox. In this match and in the one i had against the same who beat me in the last tourney, i think that if i play it smart i can give them hell when trying to recover.

Appreciate any feedback!

Probably shouldn't have posted that customs video in hindsight since it's the oldest of the 4 posted and it has customs on which is rarity in GA now. XD


I think CB would have done a better job agains Falcon, same for Leafshield
Why do you feel that CB is more effective and with what set exactly?

I dont exactly remember but what I can remember is that you barely used DW and that CB is better at long range while the oppoent is far away thrown offstage, I think the moveset I meant was CB, Tornado Hold, MB and Leafshield (for the gimping)

Issue with DW is that it only works close range or when apponnent is above you while the CB has a huge horizontal range and goes slower, making it harder to avoid

You don't even know. He's so much more than that and he's only getting better. It's exciting to have someone to practice against.

I'm putting up a better fight each time, but I'm still learning. Probably going to get bodied for several more sets before I start feeling comfortable against him. -shrugs- takes time. But I used to be so much better at the Sheik MU than I am now. But then I stopped playing against good Sheiks.

Not to take anything away from him as a player, but I don't feel like he's out of my reach. It's just a bad MU that I need to find an answer for on top of being slightly outclassed in terms of skill.

https://m.youtube.com/user/ePeenGaming

Give these guys a follow.

http://youtu.be/FGk7h9hDWSg was a while ago and his first time playing me. He's mostly a PM guy as you'll see with jab jab shine (I think that's this video). Also my first biweekly there.

http://youtu.be/zG6e-NQX1MY also a while ago, but sooner. The Seattle scene started growing around April and he, along with other predominantly PM/Melee guys, started taking smash 4 a little more seriously. I'm also much more comfortable.

Not the best Fox, I think he's okay with me saying that, but a decent Fox. He's got good smash fundamentals though and is a good player. He's started to do more Smash 4 Fox stuff lately.

So, I found the saltiest player ever. He defeated me withROB, then switched to Rosa and lost to an UTilt, calling his defeat on lag, which I didn't feel (he didn't complain about upon his victory...)
I wanted to publish the replay, but I erased it somehow :sad:
Anyway, look at this XD


Edit : I found another old Mega Man video.
Smash WiiU - TBZsum2015e3 - Singles - W3 - GW Xero (Rosalina) vs Gloomy (Mega Man)
https://youtu.be/Cmhem9TT1MA

Poor Gloomy missed a lot of UTilts and Slides there... Slide would have got him rid of Luma really fast. He should have varied a bithis Metal Blade angles and have punished a bit more Gravity Pulls (althrough there wasn't many).

Yo guys, check out this Megaman montage I just made. First time using a video editor, but it turned out okay I think? It's a lot harder than I thought it would be... lol..

Awesome stuff. One thing i would say is that i think the music shouldn't be louder than the sound effects of the game, but that's just me.

Well, you see, lag is only a problem when "they" lose because of it :)

Now that's something i didn't think of, Rosa's Dtilt to stop our projectiles. Didn't seem to do much for the guy though, considering he lost the first match and didn't bothered with it as much on the others. There really wasn't much Gravity Pulls for him to punish, he did punish for when Rosa used it in the air(guess he knows that it doesn't work at point blank, plus we can hit the opponent with the slash claw, especially if there is a plataform).

@ AerialNinja AerialNinja that is a serious montage, great combos and very unique edgeguards, very well done!

@ Diamond Octobot Diamond Octobot I faced that same guy on anthers ladder. He was like 3 ranks above me and he was so salty when I beat him.

The Mewtwo boards are discussing this matchup at the moment. I haven't fought any really good ones yet, but from my experience in fighting them, that Shadow Ball and his combos are dangerous. We have to KO Mewtwo early which is very possible.

Still, how do i put this... it looks more like you were caught by surprise, especially with that last combo. You kept it close for the most part.

And considering that while this was against Nairo, really doesn't seem like a bad MU.

There was a real lack of lemons here. I KNOW Nairo is a tough opponent, but lemons can really hinder Mewtwo's plays. Don't try to get the DSmash and USmash reads too hard, and just rack up damage calmly. Try to uair once in a while instead |^^|
Nice recoveries on your 2nd stock. And damn, that last combo from Nairo was absolutely AWESOME

You handled that Yoshi pretty well, also good stuff against the Mario. Can't say anything, rather, i want to ask for tips against those two. But can i ask why the lack of music?
Thanks. Tips? I'm not sure what I could say that watching me play them doesn't tell you. Do what I do? Do less of what you do? xD I dunno. I do have a tutorial in the works that explains how I use each move and how I learned to play MM but don't expect that any time soon. As for no music, I always play with no music in game so I can listen to other music from my PC. And it sounds better that way in a combo video. Something else I'm working on ha

Was going to upload my matches against Dezmu but it was going to take 4 hours :/ I'll do it tomorrow. My upload speed is trash.

Great game @ Dezmu Dezmu

I would say watch your back rolls. It is a good move for mega man but high level players catch on to it. I always do it way too much. Other than that it was a great game very good mega man

Hello peeps, I haven't posted anything related to Smash 4 yet because I mainly play the game for fun. I still attend the monthlies where I live, and I've been doing well. I've won the past two monthlies, the most recent one being on Sept. 5th. We had a functional stream this time though, so it was all recorded.

Here's the archive: http://www.twitch.tv/uvic_smash_club/v/14580231

The time stamps for when I'm on are as follows.
Early brackets: 1:37:50 - 1:44:15
Winners Semis: 1:48:40 - 2:01:40
Winners Finals: 2:27:20 - 2:49:30
Grand Finals: 3:52:00 - End of archive

@Sneaks Seeing some improvements, good job. I would suggest maybe more pellets.

@Terodactyl Very nice. My computer sucks and twitch lags big time, but what I could make out were some very effective attacks.


Here's the first few matches again Dezmu! We've been playing against each other more and both improving a lot.



This is, by far, the best Mega Upper I have ever pulled off. And after an Upper whif xD with a heavy layer of revenge kill on top. Very satisfying. Around 1:39 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfb2jWDTC-4

And a bunch of singles.

Hi guys, first time posting here as I've been lurking for a while but feel like I actually need to get some advice from fellow megamains to actually get better.

This was one of the first time I've played / experienced :4robinf: outside of for glory and it would be understatement to say I had no clue what to do plus he was a decent player himself. If I could get some advice on this MU + what I could've done better that would be appreciated. I do know I made a ton of bad input errors, like whiffing the glide toss > utilt and some other miss inputs due to frustration but I feel like the main issue was just the inexperience with the matchup (see my bad shielding on his specials).

Also nice to meet you all! :estatic:

Welcome to the Megaman boards. how tough are ya :)?

Against Robin, recently i find that trying to get in on him as Megaman doesn't usualy work out for me. Try tossing the LS sometimes, just make sure you have the right distance(i think that the max lemon range is enough) so that you can shoot it and immedietaly shield. When i do that i usually hit Robin or just avoid whatever he wants to follow up with if arcfire hits my shield.

I used to have a lot of trouble against Robin, and i think i'm getting better but i'm still don't have 100% knowledge of this MU. Gonna quote the advice another player gave me:

"Robin's a weird character to have issues with. He's slow and doesn't have much reliable anything. I can't think of anything of his that's dangerous to MegaMan.

Robin relies almost entirely on Arcfire, making sure that it goes where he wants it is paramount to his gameplay. Lemons don't negate it, but they do cause it to detonate where they collided. Since Arcfire has a long startup animation that makes it pretty obvious, just shoot it. You'll either hit the fire and put it where Robin doesn't want it to be right now, or hit Robin. Unlike Ness' PK Fire, it isn't affected by gravity, so if you metal blade it at an odd angle in the air, you can actually go right under it with a slide or by low profiling at the beginning of your dash.

Thoron's pretty easy too. The move is essentially more dangerous as a mindgame than it is when it hits you, as it won't kill MegaMan until really high percents. Being afraid of it is your worst option against it, and like most charge moves, I love baiting it and quickly getting out of there with Rush.

In general, Robin's smashes and smashed aerials are the only thing you need to worry about ever, and he shouldn't be able to close in on you to execute them. I think the thing that catches me off guard the most is Elthunder, and that's honestly because of how aggressive I am when playing against Robin."

Granted, this was before the patch gave him that Dthrow for combos, but i think the idea is still the same: pester him with your projectiles and keep him out.

Anyone there with more Robin experience, help this man out.

Thanks and howdy to you too!

I never knew of his dthrow combo before this so I found out the hard way unfortunately :urg: It's definitely something I will avoid in future but I also found his jab scary when I was at close range because I was always stupidly caught by it.

You should use more pellets. Pellets cancel out Thunder and Elthunder. Pellets also clank with Arcthunder and Arcfire, but retain their multi hit, so you should try to pressure Robin at a medium range distance, and avoid getting hit with the multi hit. Her only long range attacks are books and Thoron so I don't like being too far away from her. They only way she can get to you is if you get hit by an Arcfire or Arcthunder, so just respect those. Also, you should be careful with approaching Robin at the edge, they usually go for an uair so have a shield ready. Also, try recovering in between the Arcfire and the Robin when she is going for the Arcfire on the ledge strategy, it covers your landing by hitting Robin and Arcfire covers ledge options really well. (Jump, wait, neutral get up, attack, and if you roll it's easy to predict). You should also try throwing Leaf shield more, it cancels out everything except thoron and it hits Robin and gets her into the air (which can set you up for a bair, uair, anything). Being under Robin is the indicator for going aggressive. Don't let her land since she has weak landing options.

Tldr: Use pellets to cancel out projectiles, play a bit more patiently,tone down on aggressiveness because you're getting bodied by chip damage, throw leaf shield, and don't let Robin land.

Credibility: Rank 1 on Anther's ladder plays Robin and lives in our state and the match up is my favorite to play
