It just occurred to me that jumping out of shield for an aerial, and jump cancelling a shield for an up-smash/ up B are two different mechanics. So...never mind, then.

I'm not sure if they "put" JC grabs into the game. Maybe it's just an unexpected result of the way the game works.

I hate these comments about dk or captain falcon, I want to talk about fox, I don't give a **** about any other character.

Sure, if that's what you want to call jumping out of shield xD

edit: this discussion makes me wonder, why did they decide to make jc grabs? jc usmash/up B seems like a necessity because of tap jump, but the game works fine without jc grab afaik. Did they really feel like adding a feature that let a player add an extra input to the action in return for (for most characters) a better grab out of dash?

edit2: I guess boost grabbing is an even stranger design choice

i wonder about things like that sometime. the best explanation ive come up with is that they wanted the game to feel random to casual players for maximum silliness, and as part of that they added lots of counterintuitive weirdness. if you're not paying close attention, a lot of the games mechanics would come up very rarely and be hard to reproduce, adding to that random feeling.

How much did they pay us for teams? You only gave me six dollars and they said we got $16.50 :/

I was under the impression you could boost grab as a side effect of letting people grab with A+R without having to be frame perfect. This is similar to being able to air dodge > grapple with Link/Samus (and the Up-B/usmash example you gave).

P.S. I think I was in your Analysis II class. xD

Neat, I didn't even know you could press A and then R to grab. I was doing my boost grabs with A + Z. That makes sense then.

and haha, really? Wow... sorry, I don't know anyone in my classes usually >__>

You interested in smashing? There's a couple people at UMCP who are pretty active.

Won my first tournament with Fox without dropping a single game (Armada wasnt there) but unfortunately it didnt get recorded (had waveshine oos on 100% consistency etc) but I did record some mediocre friendlies with Hack that people (hopefully) can critique... yay.

1. Fox is better.
2. My Fox is already better.
3. Hack's marth is worse vs Fox but he went Fox most of the time (his marth got ***** so he swapped)
4. Armada's gonna get it up his *** in the next monthlie

I used to think falco was better, but the more I looked at fox in the past few months, I would tend to agree with you now.

Good luck against armada ;)

that's a pretty ambiguous question. you have 28 frames of actionable invincibility when you grab the ledge. ledgedrop takes a frame, dj takes a frame, and then you have 26 frames to murder people.

ShroudedOne: I liked where I did ledgehop drill, shine wavedash full hop over the Fox's obvious attempt to prevent me from ****** Marth then Bair'd the Marth, followed by uthrow usmash on the Fox.

Maybe when you're not so busy murdering people, you could find time to learn how to phrase your statements and questions more effectively?

Checkin on what you guys are talking about. I just like to add on the frame data that unless your m2k (or a tas'ing machine) that things still work due to human error, so maybe it might be worth to continue to pressure a peaches sheild if the player is a little slow performing Oos options . just a thought

murder is not the answer.

cute fox wenbo...I need to practice more lol

only thing worth mentioning...against falcon, just wait for the tech, you missed a lot of easy tech chases by trying to upsmash or something for the miss tech. you can easily react to every option.
