my point was only that if you have too few people competing against each other you end up with very specific match ups, ie; big d vs jakeyjake, even if it's big d's ICs vs jakeyjake's MK, it's a limited match up because of the number of people involved. The way to make a scene better is through expansion and building the game knowledge piece for everyone involved, not just focusing on personal beefs and butthurt.

ie; mk > notmk

I think I called it the pivot desync even though the real name of it is SND.

The two that have a player's name it are the Lux desync, where I can buffer an ice shot chaser from any move. (I picked it up over the summer)

And the one I use the most is the Kakera desync, or 2 dash.

I like how you brought up mashing though because I have a new cg which is mashless and tripless and works flawlessly on characters heavier than Mario but I'm pretty sure if done to lighter characters they couldn't mash.

Dawson get over yourself I included that it was only useful against ICs if they were separated and popo couldn't do his sopo CG for whatever reason. Notice that my main illustration was that it was useful against yoshi


So quit your condescension bru I know about your silly CG since you've only told me about it on facebook 5000000 times

to add to what landon said, good mashing helps for breaking out of yoshi's CG by ground releasing instead of air releasing at low-mid percents. it's saved squirtle a few times before.

Because you all seem like nice people, I'm going to share one of my secret techs with you all which is pretty much universal.

Big D presents, the flash step

I should note the tech does not work with the following characters.

Sheik
Samus
Squirtle
Charizard
Mr. Game and Watch

If you can't get it to work and it's not one of those characters, then you might be doing one of the following things.

Not letting the analog return to neutral at the beginning.
Not fast enough.

That vid sucks. It basically helps everyone but three of my best characters. Thankfully my main can do it. Still sucks though.

...So you guys are 100% sure learning to play MK with tap jump off is worth it, no matter how much it initially cripples my gameplay? Or is this just some elaborate ploy to make sure I'll get last this weekend? (if that's the case, it'll work beautifully) I'm still pretty skeptical. :x

Neat vid, Dawson. Though the editing and spelling could use some fine-tuning...

Jake, do you jump using tap jump? What do you specifically use tap jump for? I didn't want to turn tap jump off for the longest time. However, I barely used tap jump (I always use X to jump), and it was always giving me troubles for random stuff (e.g. jumping while up-B), so I turned it off. Now, the only character I need tap jump for is Bowser, and the only character that I occasionally use it for (depending on how technical I want to be) is Yoshi (I use tap jump to "wavedash", super jump, and a couple of other things, but I have troubles using up-B without jumping, essentially killing my double jump and suiciding). Everyone else I use tap jump off.

What I would do if I were you is look at everything you use tap jump on for, figure out what tap jump is preventing you to do, or how it hurts you, and decide whether or not you want to continue with it or get rid of it.

So... out of curiosity, what do you specifically use tap jump for?

it's a shame jigglypuff almost never wants to be on the ground anyways and her dash is worst in the game

Every time I jump, I'm using tap jump. The only exception is when I'm initiating a glide with MK, where I press and hold X because it's much simpler than the awkward input you have to make with tap jump. Every upB out of shield (or nair, dair, uair, fair, bair OoS), upB out of dashes, jump-cancelled reverse Usmash (obviously not useful with MK, but it's great for some of my other characters), short-hopped/full-hopped aerial/anything, every midair jump that isn't initiating a glide...almost all of MK's relevant options for returning from the ledge, all my platform pressure, my juggles, and all the miscellaneous strings that come naturally to me that require me leaving the ground...all of this is hard-wired to me to be executed using tap jump, so turning it off basically requires that I relearn virtually everything I know about execution. I also usually input a quick jump before using my specials when recovering (not so much with drill rush, but I do this often with shuttle loop, nado, and dimensional cape) to give me an extra bit of height; I SD so often now without tap jump because of this. :x

habitsssssssssssss

Jake if you use tap jump for everything, I would recommend, seeing as the tournament is less than a week away, to stay with your current settings until after the tournament. One week may not be enough time to get used to changing jumping with the control stick to jumping with buttons (I had to go through that in 64. Took several weeks). Once you're a few days into it, you'll get the idea, but you will still struggle with stuff. However, trying to change back to your regular stuff for the tournament, you'll mess up on several things as well. So if you try to change it now, you'll mess up lots of stuff, no matter which method you try.

After the tournament, I'd say give the tap jump off method a try. You'll have (given our current rate of tournaments) months before the next tournament, which is more than enough time to either get used to a new control scheme, or to decide to go back to your old one and not make mistakes from the attempts of learning a new one.

But as of what to do for this tournament, since there is very little time to learn anything between now and then, I'd recommend just stay with your current one, and then experiment after the tournament.

:glare: I'm kinda mad that there's truth behind this...

I like this post though, and I think I'm going to go with the advice contained within. =3 Gonna practice other stuff and make sure I'm on point for this monthly.

I said Sunday is an INTERESTING day to have a tournament since most tournaments are on a Saturday. If I don't come it's not because it's Sunday instead of Saturday lets put it that way.
