if she headbutts too many times, can't you just regrab or hit them as they break out?

Sort of? Depends on the character. A floaty like Peach or Puff might get the aerial break and have a completely free escape from the whole CG. They're the ones I was thinking about especially with regards to this.

 

[Binx]

Wobbles, any new insights on the vs Fox match up? I always feel lost in the neutral position.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Any character can force an aerial break by holding up when they are released.

not always going to be practical to do that while mashing though

 

[GhllieShdeKnife]

i was trying this with tilts before and as you said, i had perfect timing every once and while and it is not close to infinite. got some funny reactions tho "he's wobbling him with nana"
most players i did it to had problems mashing out because they did not expect it and i did 3-4 tilts sometimes

Good Stuff,
that's what wobbles is made of.

 

[Binx]

Anyone have advice vs Fox in neutral positions? Falco is tough too but if I predict him I feel like hes a lot easier to take advantage of than fox.

If you're mashing and press Y or X you also get an aerial release.

lol think that was the only thing i did that was cool from that set

 

[Kyu Puff]

wobbles, are you going to that tournament in socal this saturday?

 

[choknater]

lol that was pretty good vts

 

[shmeargle]

Lol double fair spike. That was beast. And other interesting things. I should definitely use dtilt a lot more lol.

 

[choknater]

played some good melee with darrell today

lost 3-4 in a good set. samus can be pretty scary!

 

[Strong Badam]

yea everything else was just gay as ****

 

[choknater]

ic's vs dk should be very free in ic's favor

 

[Vts]

yeah i didn't do the 0-death chain grabs lol

so silly of a thing, you don't have to move with hand off and nana even moves back a little so if you want to walk forward you can.

i just wasn't ready for little bit of pressure and screwed up timing a lot

 

[voorhese]

I'm pretty sure the handoff thing work near a wall also. It looks like nana always throws towards a wall.

 

[GhllieShdeKnife]

i thought so too but it appears to just be more likely to fthrow. it might depend where the wall is in relation to the edges of the map

 

[Fly_Amanita]

I'm pretty sure the handoff thing work near a wall also. It looks like nana always throws towards a wall.

Yeah, you can do handoffs against the Stadium tree, for example.

 

[WolFSagE]

what's CLAW

 

[Grim Tuesday]

what's CLAW

 

[voorhese]

Yeah, you can do handoffs against the Stadium tree, for example.

lol thx fly. That is actually where i noticed it >_<

 

[shmeargle]

If nana throws at the stadium tree, can't people just wall tech?

 

[Fly_Amanita]

Yeah, you don't typically try to do handoffs when they're right at the tree, but rather just somewhat close to it.


On an unrelated note, I need to get my mind back where it needs to be. I am confident I can do this.

 

[shmeargle]

What happened to your mind before?

 

[Fly_Amanita]

For the past couple years, with a few exceptions, it's been calm and attentive. At the past couple tourneys, I feel like I've been antsier than usual and I've been having a harder time focusing, and I'm not entirely sure why. I wouldn't be surprised if it's due to just how little I've been playing lately; I've been to only a couple in the past three months. Fortunately, Socal's tourney scene is gaining steam again this month, so I should be sure of this soon if that is why. In any case, I got a couple good pointers from Wobbles. We'll see how everything goes.

 

[Strong Badam]

getem jeremy

 

[shmeargle]

Well the UCI tourney could be potentially my first tourney if I am able to go. I might make it out of pools if I somehow do good. I'm hoping to gain some experience. I'd like some pointers too if we happen to meet. Do you have a routine to calm yourself? Like a deep breath or something?

 

[Fly_Amanita]

If I lose a round, I always take a lot of time to think about what I need to do better and, if necessary, to fully regain composure. Wobbles actually mentioned deep breaths as a good way of not getting overly flustered yesterday, so that's also likely good.

 

[KirbyKaze]

I sing songs in my head.

 

[shmeargle]

Haha I guess singing a good way to calm yourself. I think you would be more focused on singing rather than on the game though. But singing songs is good when your on a groove. Lol

 

[shmeargle]

Excuse me for having two consecutive posts but do any of you guys have advice for someone that will go to their first tourney?

 

[GhllieShdeKnife]

try to play alot whille your there and only a little bit before 15-30mins should do.
work on wave dashing as it is essential, read guides and matchups. dont try things you cant do,
be evasive

 

[john!]

expect to lose

play lots of friendlies with people who don't completely destroy you

 

[choknater]

Excuse me for having two consecutive posts but do any of you guys have advice for someone that will go to their first tourney?

yea don't expect to place high your first time, but do your best!

go to have fun, to learn, to get better, to meet the community and make connections.

 

[knightpraetor]

the most important thing is to play a lot and if you're really lucky find people that are better tahn you that might give you pointers on the game.. however, if you're really new, the advice may be pretty general...posting vids on the boards would actually probably be better. I wish that I had done that when I was starting..would have sped things up.

if a high level player is there, try to watch him play people you struggled with and ask yourself why he isn't struggling

 

[KirbyKaze]

Would bacon make it better?

 

[ShroudedOne]

Bacon is pretty overrated, imo. But still pretty good.

 

[shmeargle]

For vids do I need to bring a capture card or something to the tourney as well?

This is old, another old thing is the Pothrow Nacatch>Pothrow>Nacatch.
What if ICs actually can setup this due to taking the turnip from themselves...
