Few questions, and for reference, I've been practicing on Marth in training mode.
1. Anyone know offhand how much stale moves affects CG's? I know it decreases knockback and damage, but I also know it affects Dedede's down throw CG in a weird manner. I assume it's not too much of a deal, but I'll be sure to practice in regular versus mode as well.
2. I've pretty much got every alt throw chain down (against marth anyways... I'm planning to perfect it against him before I move to other weights and falling speeds), I mean, it's not 'perfect' of course, but I'm pretty good now. The meat and potatoes of my training is Popo b throw to Nana d throw. I can do it pretty consistently now, but I've become aware of two different ways to do the b throw to Nana regrab. I used to always tilt the control stick back a bit, so nana would perform a walking grab, instead of a dashing one, I'm not sure if that's how most people do it, but I recall reading it from some CG guide. I recently started jamming the control stick back as fast as possible, and then grabbing moments after; when it works, nana (along with the opponent she is now holding) is now facing popo's back, setting up pretty well for Nana d throw to popo regrab. Long explanation, I know, and I might have been doing it wrong up until now, but any comments on the two different ways? Unless someone points something out, I think I'll start using the latter method, with the former, nana would frequently do a sliding grab, and end up pretty far away from popo.
I realize that was a confusing explanation, so I'll try to word it better. I used to barely tilt the control stick backwards when doing a Popo b throw to nana regrab, so that nana would walk into a grab instead of performing a dash grab. But now I push it back all the way, fairly fast, and quickly grab with nana soon after.
Again, I don't know which one is usually used, or better.
3. I've also started to figure out which alt grab finishers I like the most. While testing meteor finishers, I noticed that it's possible to do Popo f throw to Nana fair, accomplishing the same thing that Popo d throw to Nana fair can. I doubt this hasn't been discovered yet, but I'm kinda' curious as to why it's never used, if anyone knows. There's no advantage I see, but again, I'm just curious.
And lastly, I'm having some trouble with the SWF subscribe feature, where it's supposed to email an instant notification when I get a reply to a thread I wrote on. I've got that one option on where it automatically subscribes to a a thread when I reply in it, and I've double checked my email settings on SWF quite a few times. Is this feature not working? I know this is a completely random thread to ask about site troubles, but the only 'support' forum I could find seemed directed toward member disputes, and not forum support in a technical sense. If there's a better place to ask, or if I really should ask in the forum I mentioned earlier, then please let me know.
I apologize for the wall of text, I realize I need some work on removing excess 'wordiness,' but thanks for reading.
