leaf shield can stun them into being forced into the footstool animation, but it's still risky just jumping in with nothing but that to protect you,and if they do an attack it may well win >.>

YIHAH!

 

[Deleted member]

I actually don't find it to be useful. I was able to simulate it, by playing my GF. Any hard whiffed smashes or something, I was able to pull it off. But I found myself really fishing for it.

I'd say possibly on a shield break, it could be useful.

 

[smasher1001]

on shield break it's definitely your best option if they aren't already at kill percent, as it's a for sure. In actual matches however, i totally agree with you @ellejayfish as how often are you in footstool position with a blade in hand unless you're specifically going for it?

 

[Greward]

I think you can combo the infinite out of leaf shield hit, but I'm not sure.

 

[Unclesatan]

Considering we can kill Mario at 65% with this if we manage to pull it off, i don't think doing it as an infinite is really necessary.


How would we pull this off in a match tho? Maybe if they with a fsmash or dsmash when we are close enough?

the only person i've seen land it in a match is beatfox and it was when someone whiffed a laggy move when he had leafshield up and a mb in hand. pretty situational in general in my opinion.

it's really unsafe to try if you don't have leafshield up

 

[Diamond Octobot]

Well, it looks like we have other good players around. Why don't they manifest themeselves ?..

[Sorichuudo]

Wonder why they don't, and he/she(i heard the commentator saying "she has been hitting so much shoryukens" so maybe its a girl?) is really good too, what a shame.

That SD in the second game was pretty unfortunate, but overall seems like he/she handles Link pretty well. Kinda wanted to see how that game with Rosa ended tho :I

 

[Lufos]

I'm doing pretty good in my area (Stockholm, capitol of Sweden) but I haven't gotten any good footage lately... Can show this one though (this is what it looks like when I haven't played for while, got the W but I feel that I didn't really deserve it, a LOT of mistakes)

Stay more mobile when playing your neutral game (lemons jumping and walking) and don't use fair during a short hop. Those were the big problems. And no air dodging into the ground.

Hey guys, got a few more vids from another tournament(yesterday, actually), was hoping to see what you're thoughts are! Just to note, the grand finals game I only used megaman 1 game since after I felt like mario stood a better chance. Thoughts on the little mac mega matchup? I feel like I'm improving when it comes to mega vs peach as well, which can be seen below!

In the lil mac MU, try to decrease the chances of landing on him from the air. They have super armor moves that just punish you and i've talked with lil mac mains who say that they want their opps in the air so they can upsmash, cuz of how safe it is. I saw you landing on him in the beginning and yea it can get frustrating because of his super armor moves, but here's where you can adapt. Shield and punish is how you should play the MU. if you ask any lil mac player, they'll say they dont like grabbing and yea lil mac's grab sucks. so shield is a good option. Dont be afraid to play the lame game. i mean maximize on playing lame, camp away a side b haymaker away, and projectile spam him. also, if you condition him to your proectiles long enough, he'll approach you and you can then anticipate this and activate leaf shield for a grab. the best way to fight mac is to juggle him in the air and keep him in the air, grabs and down tilt are your friends in this MU

also, ive noticed that you are approaching alot, and lil mac spaces your lemons and then punishes your end lag on lemons, be aware of that. i hate how megaman has to play a bit lame in this MU, but you have to cuz of mac's super armor moves, cuz i mean lemons get beat by punches, and you know what happens next? we get punished by end lag lemons, its lame, so play lame if you have to

I am unsure what to do against this particular Lucario. I feel like he plays extremely predictable but I can't seem to find a safe way in. It seems silly but I know there has to be a way in.

Forgive the quality I just grabbed a 4 glory highlight that I recorded from my phone.

Don't know if that footstool at the end was intentional, but the overall rule applies: if it works, it was on purpose.


So, anyone with Lucario experience can say something about SSguy's match?
Cause there are literally no lucarios in my region so...

We have a Lucario in our scene that's been getting better and he's been giving me more and more trouble. I can't really offer anything other than:
They like to b-reverse their aura spheres in either an attempt to land on you and then cancel the charge into something else or they'll use it to gain some distance. Spark Shock/Flame Blast can beat out the first option. Fsmash can sometimes reach far enough to connect on the second option. It's just a hard read to make because it's a great mixup for Lucario.

 

[SSGuy]

Sheik/Olimar

The set wasn't bad but nothing truly stood out. Still looking for advice on Sheik. The one thing I can say I could have done better was respect Olimar's range when landing.

yeh, not sure how to counter lucario's approach except with reading, but ive noticied this lucario likes to get his conversions by jumping nair, jumping fair,and when he jumps to you, he spaces himself to not hit you. theres thiss safe space where it seems like hes going to hit you, but its because you approached him enough, and your end lag frames of your lag get you punished. like the commentators were saying, hes just waiting for you to commit to soemthing then punish. the last match you adapted really well at reading his jump patterns and reacting good.the only thing i think of is that you were getting frustrated at his playstyle, and this caused lucario to get some conversions. i think now that ive got my thoughts expressed, its about watching lucario's jump patterns and reading when hes safe and when hes not safe and going in

 

[CopShowGuy]

Unfortunately, you can't allow him to just freely charge up his aura spheres either. We need to keep Lucario scared.

 

[Dezmu]

Some recent matches, hope you guys like it

 

[CopShowGuy]

Such disrespect at the end of the first one! Nice dthrow, nair, fair, fthrow combo.

 

[AerialNinja]

Some sets at the UofM. Ended up taking 2nd after going through like 8 people in loser's since I lost early, but miraculously ended up in Grands. Some critique would be nice

 

[Diamond Octobot]

AerialNinja I watched some of your sets, and I must say, your Mega Man is actually pretty solid. The only thing I could complain about is a lack of Utilts, and even then it isn't necessarily bad. I still have to watch your Doubles sets...
Do you mind telling me what the tournament schedule looked like ? The last time I went to a weekly tournament, it went on from 9.30 P.M. 'til Midnight...

This was a monthly, I arrived at like 9am and the tourney ended like 11pm after doubles and singles. I'll try to up tilt more, I end up whiffing them most of the time and dying though. I just struggle with getting kills so often

 

[smasher1001]

So, AerialNinja , do you prefer battlefield/dreamland to flat stages? I noticed the picks and was wondering your thoughts. Great matches btw, can definitely see the thought processes and some interesting choices.

I do prefer platforms, spamming up air on shied is very safe shield pressure and it gives me more landing options when I recover high. I don't like Dreamland though, since wind messes up my spacing and I never get kills early off the top, personally. I usually go Battlefield vs most characters. When the Greninja counter picked Dreamland it was because I banned Town and City and Duck Hunt, since those are godlike Greninja stages and he wanted to deny me Battlefield. Also, I picked Lylat against Greninja because he knows how to do those 0-80 footstool combos and flat stages make it easy for him and Megaman down tilt has pretty cheesy effects with Lylat ledges.

 

[CopShowGuy]

Looks like you have solid fundamentals and good reactions.
Watching the vs. Kirby in grand match:

• You REALLY need to pummel when you grab. Mega Man has the most damaging pummel in the game (it's slow but it hurts). You're losing out on damage. If they're above 30%, that's one pummel you can get.
  
• It also feels like you could have capitalized on him recovering high. Fsmash or usmash would have hit him before he grabbed the ledge.

• Diamond Octobot was right about the utilts. You should be looking out for them when they may happen. I saw a few times when you could have done it. Yeah, it is a risky move, but it is a great move too.

I'll have to watch the others later.

 

[Sorichuudo]

So this was supposed to be 4 matches, two sets from online tourneys i had, but i managed to delete de second match of the first tournament by accident, sucks cause that one was 3 minutes long so i would be able to post it with good quality too(why are capture cards so expensive?...)
Anyways, the last two matches are the more recent ones, am i playing this MU correctly now? I lost to this guy two tourneys in a row, and the second time(the first match of the video) it was pretty bad, so i tried to play more patient and safe this time.

So i'm wondering now if i played it right, or if my opponent was just having a bad day.

 

[BugDoctor]

A couple of my on-stream matches from Rumble in the Tundra 5 this past weekend. Any advice would be great! Taking R.O.B. to Battlefield was a pretty dumb mistake, haha!

There's some other random stuff on my channel as well if you feel like checking it out..namely some FG matches and friendlies with other people from the region.

Thanks!

 

[SimplyChrono]

There has been quite some time since i posted anything in here but here i got a set of me vs nairo(online), any type of advice would be much appreciated, already seen these replays so i know what i did wrong but just wanted to share these, enjoy:

If you guys don't mind critiquing my Megaman, I have a good amount of replays to show, so instead of putting them link by link, I'll be putting the channel's video sections where the replays are found. Ignore the first replay that was 3 months ago, and the one after it, because I believe I accidentally uploaded the same replay twice. Any other Megaman replay is open for reviewing.

Overall, I'd say you perform Mega Man's very risky moves frequently. You're getting punished for throwing them out.

oh? like what? (I have some in mind, but I want your confirmation).

 

[CopShowGuy]

Utilts, fsmash, dair, and falling aerials. I'd say dsmash, but you KOed with one use, and were just a hair too late in using it the other time you used it (I'll blame latency on that one). A lot of the damage you took was from using moves at inopportune times and getting punished for them.

 

[DRU192]

A little collection of my favourite For Glory wins over the past few months. I'm hoping to do one of these every month from now on.

 

[Yeah_ok]

Watching everyone's videos make me realize one thing: everyone has a set pattern or rhythm for their lemons.

 

[Diamond Octobot]

Actually, I stumbled on two vieos of MM vs Skeik (France Represent yo, even if it isn't me) / DHD.
here they are !

(sorry ---, but I'm too tired to follow the rules right now imao)

 

[Wreck33]

Imo not a good mega man. No short hop game, no rush out of combos, no leaf shield, really weak pellet game. He couldn't recover well coming down from up high. That is one of megas strengths using rush and leaf shield and mix it with fast falls. Always spam up B when you get hit up in the air and it will confuse the normal way people practice to follow up their hit confirms.

I guess you are talking about the one who played against the DHD, right ?
Well, I must admit that he got beaten pretty badly...
He should have used more Item MB imo. These things are able to destroy the clay discs (I dunno how they are called). He still tried, and seeing what doesn't work is always useful.

I actually think that the match against Shiek is the most interesting... It shows some of the optimal DI against Shiek's throws.
