[KAOSTAR]

is it possible to shinespike after an arial dair?

not in the way you are thinking. it doesn't combo and can easily get you killed.

 

[Divinokage]

this is late but Kage: saffy is obviously mine

Obviously? Well, let me put you on blast right now. She has "surprises" for me everytime I win.. where you at? =)

 

[KirbyKaze]

Toronto smash scene has two women. And me. So that's like two and a half.

Soooo gooood.

 

[Strong Badam]

i am right here

 

[Crooked Crow]

She hot?

If Asian girls are your thing, go wild.

 

[Sinji]

LOL there used to be a Asian girl that used to play brawl in Jamaica. Cant forget that body. Get at me. =)

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Milktea still owns my heart. All i gotta do is win a national and she will go out with me...

 

[KirbyKaze]

That didn't work for Mango why would it work for you

 

[Palpi]

Milktea riding that smash inflation...

=/

 

[Saffy]

Lol... this thread.

Lillian (Milktea) is the only girl smash player I actually can stand. The other ones seem to do it for attention or some other sort. But I don't really get along with women, they tend to just randomly hate on me anyways. Men are way better.

Also I am converting to melee most likely. Missouri hates brawl players apparently.
=[

Since I am in this thread, Ironically I wanted to main Fox or Falco... any advice for someone who is starting out (Switching from brawl)? Or is fox even a good choice? Falco seems a little easier in some ways... I have most fun with Luigi but I feel using him more competitively.. he might not be as good as choice.

Thank you :3!

Get the basic tech skill down first; playing without being able to do what you want and not having control over your character is simply frustrating. Don't overdo it, but make sure you have the technical skill to back up what you're capable of thinking of at this level (starting out melee). Just getting used to the falling speed the different aerial mobility etc is all something that'll just take time. Focus on understanding and getting used to the fact that you're *not* playing brawl anymore. I think adjusting to the game is a more important start than anything beyond basic character specifics.

/thread back on track kinda somewhat...

 

[Palpi]

I agree with Druggedfox. Also, if you like playing luigi, play him if you think he is fun, he is still a decent character. I think it is a good idea to play a space animal, atleast in practice to understand all of the techs, even with no intention of maining one.

 

[omgwtfToph]

Lil ***** :D

Yeah, everything they said. I agree with starting out with Falco. I did the same thing, and eventually just kind of gravitated towards Fox as my tech skill improved. I really think starting out with Falco is a great idea though, whether you want to play Fox or just use Falco forever.

Also, I'm of the opinion that Luigi can compete with top tiers just fine. So if you enjoy Luigi, then stick with Luigi. Or dabble with both Luigi and Falco or something.

 

[Saffy]

Ahh thank you guys, I will try to learn some of the techs! I still have yet to get wavedashing down.. I can do it with a few characters like Ice Climbers and Luigi. It's still not 100%, And I can't really incorporate it into matches naturally. I have to think about it doing it .

The only real problem I am having is hit-stun, and the no buffering in melee. I guess that will just take time to get used to?

 

[Strong Badam]

saffy *****, almost beat my kirby and she just started

 

[Saffy]

saffy *****, almost beat my kirby and she just started

Why you sandbag me? ;=; Isn't kirby the worst character?....

Spoiler

No wonder it was closer ;=;

 

[Strong Badam]

: 3~

 

[Druggedfox]

ARMADA THINKS KIRBY IS GOOD

just sayin

 

[Strong Badam]

kirby runs faster and dies later in PAL lol

 

[Palpi]

After playing ka-master I would definitely feel that way toph hah! But I agree, luigi is a pretty good character.

 

[omgwtfToph]

Hahah yeah, exactly.

T_T LOL

 

[Sinji]

Which character would nair>dsmash work against?

 

[Druggedfox]

kirby runs faster and dies later in PAL lol

Yeah i know, but he also says roy is the worst; idk i always thought it was silly

 

[Palpi]

LOL TOPH, I have seen that probably over 100 times. I went "holy ****" outloud in my english class when I saw it first hahaha

 

[Brookman]

Which character would nair>dsmash work against?

my initial response is "you tell me"


it can work vs. fox/falco/falcon. The standard 'douche bag' combo is dash attack > down smash

 

[KAOSTAR]

dash attack up smash or up air is more douchey

 

[Brookman]

up smash is standard/common/expected. Nothing douchy about bread and butter.

 

[Cyrain]

Dash attack --> upsmash is my ****ing jam.

 

[Palpi]

Really? I didn't think that was that good for falco, cyrain. /cries in a corner

 

[Cyrain]

Just wait until Genesis baby. I've been puttin' in some work with my fox and his cute little pink booties.
Have faith. =)

 

[Brookman]

like (y)

 

[Cyrain]

Seriously though. *****es ain't ready. ^_~

 

[Strong Badam]

Yeah i know, but he also says roy is the worst; idk i always thought it was silly

roy has no changes in PAL....
and Pichu and Ness aren't any different......
wtf armada

 

[KirbyKaze]

Roy is a lot better than Kirbs IMHO

My brief period maining Kirby made me realize he's ****ing bad and projectiles that hit through moves are gay

 

[Cyrain]

Is kirby actually better in PAL?

 

[KirbyKaze]

Yes. He's faster and heavier. So he dies at 3 instead of 2 and is slow instead of unbelievably horrendously slow.

 

[earla]

best fox anti air move?

 

[Divinokage]

Probably Bair.

 

[KirbyKaze]

up tilt is better for beating aerials because you can ghetto cc while you do it

bair is next because the hitbox above fox's raised foot is huge

edit:

wd back u-smash is incredible if you're positioned for it (esp. at low percents), as is dash dance grab - it's really hard for them to approach with / fast fall an aerial and DI away simultaneously so u-smashes won't usually have good DI if you hit them this way. that enables them to lead to more combos (u-tilt, more u-smash, etc). but that stops being useful after like 40 anyway because then non-DIed u-tilt starts to lead to more because of the softer send. but it's worth noting.

if you can dash dance grab it, though, then that's pretty consistently good and generally recommended (beware of them edgecanceling the u-throw on platform stages, however).

Have faith. =)

we should mm
