Are the Marth u-throw u-tilt percents on Sheik (linked in the OP) done with Marth as P1 and Sheik P2? If so, does that mean if Marth is P4 Sheik can't escape at 13% and 21%?

I am sorry if this has been answered before but I cant seem to find an answer anywhere.

Here is Marth's Nair frame data:

Total: 49
Hit: 6-7, 15-21
Auto cancel: <5 25>
Landlag: 15
Lcanceled: 7

Here is Marth's short hop frame data:

SH air time: 38
Earliest FF: 20
SH FF air time: 26

From this you can see that if Marth short hops but begins is nair on the first airborne frame, he can fast fall on the first possible frame and still be able to auto cancel the nair because he will have been airborne for 26 frames, which is the minimum number of frames needed to reach the autocancel window.

My question is, how is this possible considering instant gravity? Wouldn't performing the nair on the first available frame after jumping cause Marth to not short hop as high and thus not be able to reach the necessary 26 frames needed to autocancel the aerial? Is it even possible to perform a true sh rising autocancel nair?

He's in the air less one frame less if he starts his nair immediately, but the auto cancel is 25 or more inclusive.

Edit: The first number is also inclusive. 5 or less autocancels.

These are also easy things to check in 20XX 4.06. You can turn on an autocancel overlay.

And yes, it's a two frame window for starting the nair if you fastfall on the earliest frame, and extremely possible to do a rising autocancel nair.

How do you edgeguard Falco's double jump sweetspot to the ledge, say after a forward/down throw or a dtilt? This question also applies to Fox. Oftentimes I can hard read the dj sweetspot but still can't punish it. If I grab ledge, they often will up b right next to the ledge and will grab it as soon as I let go (or in Fox's case he will burn me), dtilt, jab, fsmash etc all whiff. I've had some minor success with wavedash back off of the ledge -> fair (without grabbing ledge), but that is VERY dangerous against anything other than exactly double jump sweetspot. I wonder if I have time to dair their double jump. What is your suggestion?

I'm aware that the input poller for melee has some slight drift to it. I wondered if the time interval between polls is constant, though. What does the distribution for the interval between polls look like?

So some great person out there made a beautiful blog post about the entire marth chaingrab with % ranges and followups for all %s till about 95 or so for both fox and falco. Does anyone have the link? I've been searching for 2 weeks

There isn't a complete one, but the best I've seen is here: http://marthnerd.blogspot.com/2017/03/marths-uthrow-combos-on-fox-and-falco.html

Kadano Kadano , how much truth do you think there is to the FUD around arduino controllers? FUD I've seen:

1. Macros
2. Massive buff to fox / falco recovery
3. Waveshining and Waveshine infinites on Marth become trivial

Curious about 3, because I've heard people say that but I don't think it becomes easy. Does it become easy? There are some other things you can do, like remap certain values of the analog stick to be in completely different areas for easy SDI (technically not a macro, does the remapping have to be to x,y coordinates that aren't next to one another?), or remap areas that are interpreted as a straight vertical or straight horizontal to slight di's.

At the moment, I'm leaning towards banning Arduinos and box controllers for these reasons:

1. Extremely hard to enforce. Requires data collection at the console level and statistical analysis to determine cheats
2. Macros are actually a big deal. People are posting obvious stuff like FC nair, but you can do other things too like certain unreactable shine option selects (Did you hit the shine? Great, wavedash forward. No? Wavedash back).
3. The main argument hax had for allowing them was that "you're cheating in the wrong game" because there isn't money in it. But it overlooks trolls.

Thank you so much for the link. I've been looking for like 2 months lol. I can give my own take on the arduino situation though. (I have an arduino controller)
1. Macros are stupid and should be banned. This is a given.
2. Massive is a strong word. It just feels like melee deadzones finally make sense. It's like everyone has a hybrid notch.
3. You still have to know how to waveshine marth. It's not like a bad person can pick these up and start waveshining marth. You already had to be good at waveshining.

Even though I say all this I only want the arduino around just for a bit. These issues have been known for at least 2 years and are only in the public eye because of the arduino. Like the long term goal is to get a melee update with all of these controller fixes and no offense but the melee community are not people of action. 85% of the community has no idea what any of these things meant before hax's video and now we are finally looking at real issues. The arduino is just forcing the hand of TO's and modders everywhere to finally make a decision. I think by EVO everything should clear up. No arduino. Melee update with dashback, shield drop, snapback, and angle mods. B0XX legal.

Kadano Kadano or anyone else that has any information on this, I was reading way back near the beginning of this thread and saw mentioned that there was a marth ditto throw followup chart that was lost because of a browser crash before posting. Was this ever posted anywhere? Or if anyone has applicable information about guaranteed followups in the marth ditto off of uthrow that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Any detailed database out there that has all the DI and percents marth can uthrow pivot fsmash spacies? If there isn't i'd lab it out, but I want to make sure there isn't one already out there before I waste my time finding the same info.

Alright so for Marth dittos I went through No DI, DI behind(inward), and DI away on 20XX going frame by frame and if both players are frame perfect the u-tilt is never guaranteed. It can be jumped out of at all DI and at all percents. The frame window for the jump out is very small however, typically 2-3 frames so it may still be worth going for if they cant hit that small window to jump out. Once you get into 20% and higher if Marth u-tilts on the first possible frame the u-tilt will actually miss completely. You can however delay the u-tilt so they will be closer to the ground when you put out the hitbox and most people aren't frame perfect anyways so it normally will be a frame late or so but doing so gives the opponent extra frames to jump out. I'm going through uthrow uair/fair/bair followups from 13-63% and ill post on that once I complete all the testing.

edit: oops.. meant to post this in the ask pp thread, not here sorry, trying to delete it not sure if I can

What ports did you use, and did you account for staling?

I used port 1 for throwing and port 2 for being thrown. Everything written is under the assumption that both players are frame perfect. I dont know what staling is or maybe I do but am not familiar with the term.. could you explain it to me or link an explanation? It would be much appreciated as im still testing more stuff :)

Edit: I looked up staling and I'm not sure if it had any impact on my testing, I was using 20XX and save states I'm going to go back and double check everything while taking that into account

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I figured you might know the answer to my question, so I decided to post it here anyways.

To the point, I was wondering why attacks sometimes don't release people from grabs. I play doubles with a Peach (Marth+Peach) and it happens quite frequently, but not consistently, that his attacks aren't freeing the opponent that I'm holding, but I couldn't find an answer to it online, yet. I doubt that it's random, would love to know what causes it, so we can consistently use it.

Attacks that do less than 12% (I.e. 6% after grabbed damage reduction) don't break the victim out of the grab.

Some quick things for anyone that can help me. Been testing things out but these situations are uncommon and I don't see them mentioned often...

1. Quick Marth question, is spotdoge>grab better with Z asap or holding R after spotdoge, then pressing A? Shield pops up for a split second and I don't know if that affects things

2. for Marth dtilt or Fox shine does holding down the whole time after Spotdodge let you skip frames (IASA?) or it doesn't matter?

3. Am I imagining that AC fair > drop through platform fair is slower than L cancelled fair > shield drop fair?

4. Are there other ways to a fair while falling through a side platform than WD back off top platofrm, fastfall and hold down, fair as you pass through the side platform?

5. Is it possible to do invincible Ledgedash uptilt/turnaround up tilt or are roll, jab, grab, upB the only ones (saw on a YouTube video). Are there any invincible NIL off the ledge/ledgedash in place options?

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. If you could teach me how to calculate these things for my future reference so I don't have to bug you that'd be fine too!

1. Holding L/R and pressing A can be done without shielding if you time it perfectly, so it's the same speed as Z. It's generally better not to use Z for grabs in those scenarios because if you are a frame early, you get a lightshield that you can't shield grab out of, whereas if you use L/R+A and are too early, you can just press A again.

2. Spotdodge doesn't have IASA frames, but keeping the stick held down can allow you to dtilt on the first actionable frame after a spotdodge without accidentally dsmashing or having to tilt the stick.

3. You can test this in debug mode's frame advance.

4. Huh?

5. Utilt and dtilt the same speed as grab (frame 7), so they are definitely possible, but idk enough of the details on Marth's ledgedashes to say if he has a frame to spare for a turnaround or what other options he has.

You can only pass through a platform while in Fall or SpecialFall (and maybe some other obscure animations). In other words, not during aerial animations. You have to start the aerial after you pass through the platform.

Thanks for this!

Out of curiosity is there anyone with a TAS execution of chain grabs or any of the other punish trees listed in the OP? For example I thought I was doing the chaingrab correctly but I played a player much better than me and I was getting shined in between my follow ups despite pivoting. Just wanna watch the ideal rhythm

There a vid where Ken says he would do a weak fair as low the the ground as possible and as close to the opponent as possible and be able to dash through his opponent before they can shield grab.

Does the frama advantage for weak fair actually support this or was he just getting away with it because people were less aware back in the day?

No, it works. You can test it pretty easily on a 20xx CPU.

Hey guys! I just watched Kadano's vid on hitboxes, priority & etc but I still don't understand why marth can fsmash or even jab fox and falco's up B without clanging. (Marth's fsmash clangs with ganon's fsmash in that vid so why won't it clang with fox&falco's up B?) According to the true priority thing Kadano mentioned in his vid, shouldn't the hitboxes clang (20% fsmash vs 16% up B or even the 4% jab vs 16% up b)? I think I'm just stupid or amybe I watched the vid too fast but thank you in advance to anyone who responds!

*This is definitely a dumb question that isnt really that important but its really been bugging me as someone who's trying to understand the mechanics of the game! :(*

As a general rule of thumb, only ground vs. ground moves can clank. Marth's fsmash will clank with Fox's up-B if it's done across the ground, but once Fox is airborne, the fsmash will go right through him. I know there are exceptions to this like the poof on Sheik's up-B or Fox's and Falco's side-Bs, but I think the reason behind that is because those hitboxes are considered projectiles. You won't see ground moves clank with normal aerials at the very least.

Quick question, does shffl fair done perfectly (such that the lowest hitbox comes out just before marth lands) cover sweet spot? How about shffl dair? I don't know enough about landing mechanics to test this.

It depends on how the opponent is sweetspotting, the timing of the recovery and attack, and the spacing of both players. You don't need to know anything about landing mechanics to test it. Just use 20xx to record Marth doing a fair and see which recoveries it will hit, or record a recovery and see if Marth has any attacks that can reach it.

First, none of his grounded options cover sweetspot, what I mean by landing mechanics (which I finally found) is that if the final frame of marths fair hit box is low enough to cover sweet spot if it comes out the frame before his ecb touches the ground. Unfortunately I haven't found a gif yet that shows marths ecb while he is doing fair.

Where this would come in handy is if you need to run to get to the edge guard and don't have time for the run off fair. That said, my spacy friends say its hard to sweet spot around dtilt

It depends on what recovery is sweetspotting. Marth and Falcon can't sweetspot around dtilt with their up-Bs, but they can with their DJs.

You can turn on ECB with R+Dpad Down in Debug Mode, but it still isn't necessary. You can just fair close to the ground and keep retrying with the fair being done 1 frame later. Repeat until it no longer comes out before you land and you know the frame for the lowest possible fair.

If anyone can answer this question that would be awesome. So with marth there are two different scenarios and I'm curious to know how much of a difference in (time)/input it would take in each one. So the first scenario is dash dance retreat turnaround shield and then perform an aerial. The second is dash dance turn around retreat wavedash down and then perform an aerial. Out of the two scenarios, how much time does it take to perform and what would be the most inherent advantages/ disavantages between the two. Thanks! Also if anyone can explain with frame data aswell that would be best. If there is anything that needs clarification also just let me know.
