It is, I pulled it off a few times last tourney. Any CG that works on a CPU will work on a human if you're doing it right, it's just that on average lvl 9 CPUs are REATRDEDLY fast at mashing out of grabs.

When an icies main says they can "chaingrab", it's not a scripted series of throws. Different people CG in all sorts of ways, like some do Dthrow - Fair to start then move into their other grabs.

The easiest way of gimping someone with a bad recovery is Popo Fthrow - Nana Dthrow. This moves you to the edge quite fast, and lets you spike them out of Popo's hand right at the end :3

What it boils down to is you want to minimise your movement in a CG so you can do it in tighter spots, and maximise your margin for error to give you a higher chance of 0-deathing someone. Personally I find Bthrow - Dthrow most comfortable on the majority of the cast.

Then you have hobbling too which involves throwing with Popo, footstooling with nana then buffering an ice shot to force a get-up animation, letting you regrab with popo.

Gah they have so much **** to learn, tis probably why barely anyone mains them :3

Well, I'm up for the learning - I'm sure the Icies are devastating when played properly.
Bit like Fox in Melee; he takes time and is not the solution if you wanna get good quickly.

I'm just glad the Brawl+ers gave lucario the ability to attack after his upB. Whoevers idea that was is totally going to heaven (I can have words, sort it out for you ;])

Oooh not fought a decent kirby yet, I'm getting moist.

Ryuken might be getting paid on friday by the way, if he does he's 100% coming. Good times.

It's easier for me than abbreviating ****, always ends up taking me longer if I whack out a few "U"s or "wuubu2?"s

<--- too posh? Doubt it.

Queen's English mother****er.

Do you type it?

I find it much easier than abbreviating - I always type Queen's English! :)

Thank goodness for the Urban Dictionary; I don't speak internet slang.
However, occasionally, you will find a "lol" hanging off the end of my posts.

I played too fail that MM. The only match I think I did well on was the Oli match. I got too cocky in my character picks.

GG's Calzum. <-- the only time you will ever hear me say that.

@ Dooan.

Whats wrong with playing Peach, it normally does much better, bad matchup johns
I'll surprise all you guize and pull out Peach when you least expect it...

Preapre yourselves for stitchfaces and Mr.Saturns.

Hmmm....I was considering taking up Snake before the Icies - I simply couldn't play him. Nor could I pull off his DACUS consistantly.
I dunno...well, I could play him, it just didn't seem right somehow.

Snake's DACUS is easy as ****, seriously. I loved playing him for the noises his Jabs/tilts made and the explosions etc.

But god**** he's ****ing boring as hell in tournaments. Hiding behind walls of nades? No thanks.

Thats what I think. I am really confused how Calzorz doesn't get bored playing Snake in every tournament. >_>

He does put a huge amount of gusto into diggan.

Still not enough to redeem himself if you ask me. It's a shame really.
Not to mention I didn't want it to seem like I was trying to strije down a road to quick victory via top tier.

And it's my policy to play the game of a character before taking them up - I've only played the original NES Metal Gears and wasn't very good at/didn't like them.

Play whoever you want to be honest. Doesn't matter if someone else thinks you're being a tier-***** or not, just do what's fun.

Unless you play metaknight, in which case you're a bumlord.
